Pursuing the Love of Mr. Ling
244. Dinner
ramein weeeee
***
After arriving at her grandfather's residence, Ailee immediately went to her room to bathe and clean. His body was really sticky with sweat that since a few hours ago came out. Remember, Ailee was running far enough. Even his legs were blisters. Fortunately after being given the medicine by Kalingga, his leg did not hurt so much. Still, but not as sick as before.
Ailee soaked in the bathup long enough. Maybe because of the fresh cold water that hit his skin. Usually in Boston, he never had a bath with water this fresh. Because the bath water in his house must always be half warm. Not cold, not hot. Strange indeed, but usually the water there is like that.
Finish soaking Ailee directly put on a nightgown. He was quite hunted when wearing clothes, even Ailee did not wear skin care as usual, because she was hungry. He hasn't eaten since noon. Ailee should be full of the drama she is facing today. But I don't know, his stomach still seems to need basic food. Ailee went downstairs, as if all her family were waiting for her to have dinner together.
Sure enough, everyone had gathered at the dinner table. There is also Alvaro. The man really spent the night at his grandfather's house. Tumben once, usually Alvaro will refuse and choose to live in his apartment. Yes, he has an apartment. Even he can also afford to buy elite housing in Jaksel, if he wants. Alvaro is a businessman, his company is advancing at the moment. So do not ask every second how much the man earns. Even just lying all day, the money will still go into his account. The nominal is not rupiah, but dollar.
"All night" said Ailee. The girl took a seat in the chair she usually wore while she was here.
"Dear night" said Alex and Cya.
"Grand grandson's night" said Atma.
"Night of the deck" said Alvaro.
Ailee smiled. When was the last time he was in a position like this? It feels like a long time ago. Everything is fully assembled here. There was even the addition of Alvaro, his cousin's brother. I think he's very happy.
Although this was only a small thing, but this small thing that he had always dreamed of a long time ago. You remember, Ailee used to eat alone at the big dining table at her home in Boston. Not infrequently also Ailee always chose to eat in her room.
"Dreaming?" Ask Atma.
Ailee regained her senses and shook her head, "Not grand. Brix was not daydreaming, just silent for a moment."
"Is it because dinner together is like this?" Ask Atma.
"Maybe" replied Ailee.
"Just relax, the grand is always alone. Grand even feels deja vu at the moment. The place you're sitting in is a grandma's favorite place" Atma said with a smile.
"Grand is lonely after grandma doesn't exist?" Ask Ailee.
"Did Brix take a lecture here to accompany the grand as well?" Ask Ailee.
"Determine your dreams, baby. Grand was already accustomed to grand solitude. After all, grand wants you to choose your own will without any coercion from the other party including your two parents. All this time Grand knows what your life is like. That's why grand wants you to really enjoy your life. According to what you want," said Atma.
Alex, Cya and Alvaro were silent. Alvaro fell silent because he did not understand the topic. While Alex and Cya were silent because they were slapped with Atma's words. Although the Atma did not brightly say that, but both felt that it was a greeting for both of them.
Already they admit, if they pay less attention to their children only puppet since childhood. They even missed their growth period. All of this can never happen again. They could only regret it by making up for all their current mistakes. By taking their time for their children. But unfortunately, when they will take their time for Ailee, her son. Ailee is about to graduate. Which means this child will soon enter the world of college. And again, Ailee still has not determined where she will continue her education. Cya and Alex hope that Ailee will study around Boston alone.
"Brix knew what Brixy wanted" Ailee said.
"Then if you go to college here, are you willing to have a long-distance relationship with Kalingga?" Ask Atma.
"It's still we're talking about grand. Although Brix and Kalingga are still dating, we will still negotiate it first. Moreover, this relationship has been known to his family, Brix did not want to make Aunt Ashel disappointed," said Ailee.
"Do you love Ashel?" Ask Atma.
"Very. Aunt Ashel was like a second life to Brixy. But Brixy also still loves her biological mother Brixy," said Ailee smiled at her mother. Cya also smiled.
"Whatever your choice, just decide. The grand will follow you. Whether Boston, Indonesia or any of those countries, the grand will come with you. Grand is old, grand wants to spend grand old time with you," said Atma.
"Then, what about grandma?" Ask Ailee. At one time, his grandfather never wanted to leave Indonesia because his late grandmother buried here. Almost every day Atma will visit Rozz's tomb. That's the reason why his grandfather wasn't with him in Boston. His grandfather also had a business here.
"Brixy think about it later. After all, the holiday has just begun" said Ailee.
Atma simply nodded as the answer. The whole family continued their dinner. Here the listener is both his parents and Alvaro. Hopefully after hearing his grandfather's words, these two parents will start to change and do not need to think too much about business.
What Ailee was worried about was not her company, but the health of her parents. However, working in a company and building a business of this size, of course, there will be big things sacrificed. For example, the rest time is less. Ailee could, of course, see black strokes on the eyelids of her parents' eyes.
Ailee is not selfish because of the time that is not given by her parents. It's time to be together and spend the weekend together. But Ailee is selfish for the health of her parents. Being left by her grandmother was enough to make her hit hard. It takes time to make peace with time. Ailee could not imagine if later both her parents were called by the creator. He would scream if he wasn't ready. Very unprepared.
Hence from today onwards, Ailee would try to make both her parents understand the manage time.
