This house feels different since Beyvie is not around, the oldest daughter in this house since marriage moved temporarily in her husband's house, and it's a long way off in the southern suburbs of this city, she said, while their house is in the northern part, including the suburbs as well.
Ko Siong built two houses at once faced with this house for Beyvie and Tenry and only in the early stages, maybe another year just finished. He wants the children to stay close to them even though they are married. Yongky seems unable to fight in-laws, already has his own house in fact but he is willing to move later.
Tenry sat longer at the dinner table even though he had finished breakfast. Only this morning can he talk to my mom.
The mama is now busy again, continuing to manage the cafe owned by Beyvie before, and she gets her pleasure again to work, and she gets to work, after leaving all the business into the hands of his son, he now expanded the culinary business by building a second cafe.
Ci Cun already knew the pattern of his son's behavior, waiting at the end of the table something important that was very visible from his son's facial water.
"Ma..."
"What's wrong?"
Mama immediately grabbed quickly, busyness was waiting but she knew her son was in need of her.
"Koko seems to be getting married..."
Ci Cun stared a long time ago, Tenry avoided the firm gaze of the mother. This is something that is difficult to convey so it is also difficult for Tenry to keep seeing the face of the mother. He was afraid of what he would find, what if in the face it read rejection, yes in this case he felt not confident expressing his desire let alone to argue with the mother.
"Coko herself isn't sure..."
Tenry looked at his mother now, and the facial expression of his mother was difficult to understand especially the floating sentence of the mother, either a question or a soft way to refuse.
"What a certainty..."
Not responding to Tenry's short sentence but now mama clearly asked with the appearance of a fold on her forehead with a fused forehead waiting for an explanation.
"Koko.. actually still want to wait for Lingling to finish her lecture..."
"So better Ko.. You focus on handling your work first, the business just started a good way again after the pandemic..."
Tenry was silent, he did not have enough reason to get married. A curse born out of a desire to prevent Holly from leaving again has been an important issue lately for Holly and she doesn't want to disappoint her girl.
Tenry felt confused by himself who was hesitant for a decision as important as this.
"This is a big decision Koko. must be sure instead of acting impulsively.Just like building a house foundation must be solid, the foundation that Koko has for marriage must also be strong... not just because of emotions... Is your Lingling ready as well? Ko. mama still sees him like Ivy, immature..."
Tenry was silent about this, for some reason he was hesitant about this kind of thing, whether he was realistic or right, said Mama, just a momentary impulse that did not think about the consequences behind this decision.
"Mama did not forbid Koko to marry, Koko's age was enough for that. Mama used to be married young, and she had felt how difficult it was to adjust to a much older father, difficult to adjust to the demands of Ama... good thing your father can patiently guide you..."
"If Koko is sure to guide Holly, please. Holly may be able to mature faster after marriage, more quickly adjust to the demands of the situation... But here's Koko who needs to be sure first..."
Tenry breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that mom responded well despite giving up entirely on herself to decide, the important thing here was that her intentions had been conveyed, and it turned out that there was no need to argue. More relieved that mama did not bother about Holly even though she considered immature.
Tenry stood up from his chair and approached the mother, suddenly wanting her embrace. Without a sound he crouched down beside the chair and his hands went around his waist. Last time like this when? That was a long time ago.
Ci Cun who was shocked received the treatment of his son slightly jolted but then shifted back the chair with resting on his two heels so that his son more freely leaned his head on his lap.
"Why Ko..."
In the corner of his eyes was a water marker of emotion. Busyness often widens the distance with children and forgets physical touch like this that turns out still needed by his son even though he has grown into an adult man.
The much-expected childhood memory of a boy being born in the middle of the family is now passing by. How Tenry followed him wherever he went including when Ci Cun entered the bathroom, the boy would wait in front of the bathroom and keep asking if his mother was still inside, some kind of fear the little boy's mother didn't come out of there.
And his son who just asked permission to get married now enjoys a mother's embrace. A child is a child no matter what age he is.
When Tenry lifted his face somehow the rush of taste that was born from the affection of a mother controlled Ci Cun until then he grabbed Tenry's head and kissed the baby's crown as he always did back then.
The full moment had to be interrupted later...
"Here....mama wants to work.do not cry, have asked for marriage..."
Ci Cun pushed her two shoulders and stood up and rushed to the room, leaving her son still squatting in place.
Ahhh Ci Cun is not asiiik. So remember that hugging Holly must be as long as she wants...
In Ci Cun's room, the children have grown up and it turns out that the time has come to release their children with a life of their own choice. The sad feeling of letting go of married Beyvie comes up again. The child is a valuable possession compared to all the material that he and his husband have collected so far. With the materials he had now, he could go anywhere and could buy or build anything he wanted. But the feeling of belonging attached to those children could not be compared to anything.
