Soul Pain
Chapter 21

"How is Larisa developing now? Papa see he's back to normal?”

“He does look normal. We have talked and interacted with a lot of us. Only he still did not dare to get out of his comfort zone, the villa. Larisa does not like to be invited to go out or be in the crowd" explained Abi.

“If at home other than tutoring she does aja?” ask Davira.

“After I leave for work she does yoga, Ma. Now also start taking care of the garden in the yard. Tomorrow, Mama and Papa can see for themselves. I also suggested reading books about mental health and then he made a vlog that contained his understanding after reading the book.” 

“Larisa still taking medicine?” ask Endra again.

“Hhmm now still, Pah. At most end up with the rest of the medicine, after this I will not prescribe him the medicine again.”

Davira and Enda nodded. Abi's decision to bring their daughter to live here is the right thing

“Oh, yes.Tok us to the boarding school where his spiritual teacher Larisa, yes. I made an appointment with him.”

“OK, Papa and Mama also want to meet. All this time we've only heard stories from you,” replied Endra.

“Oh yes, Bi. How is your Mom doing?” ask Davira to feel bad.

Abi shook his head. “Don't know, Ma. Every time I send a message is read and not answered. Also not on the phone.”

“Yesterday before we left, Papa had stopped by your Mama's house. The word ART there Your mother is again in RSJ so, Papa just drop your address here and say if we want to go to Bali,” explained Endra.

“Mama also had time to send messages and call him, but not in reply and picked up," added Davira.

“Gak, Papa, Mah, Pah. Maybe my mom is still angry with me. He also needs time to be able to accept this option.”

“Bi, sorry we are. Because of us your relationship is so bad like this,” pinta Davira.

“Not your fault. This has been my decision, so Mama Ningsih should be able to accept and support. It depends on Mama, if she can accept maybe our relationship will be fine,” said Abi.

“So how are your relationships there Larisa?” Davira switched the conversation because Abi looked a little sad.

Abi smiled shyly. “I'm getting close to Larisa, Mah. Often love him little surprises and seduce him. Just, yes, I do not want to rush, ngalir ajalah.”

“You didn't ask him to take care of you?”

“Oh if that's what I asked for, Ma. Just the little things. Kayak make tea every morning even now fit home from work he also nawarin. Continue to help wear a fitting tie to go to work. Actually it is not necessary, but I am confused to ask for help what he is. Oh one more thing, I also asked to prepare a change of clothes after work. The goal is that he feels needed so that his life feels meaningful to someone.”

“You're really in love, huh, same kid, Mama? Your face so beaming series fitting we discuss him.”

Abi smiled broadly. “Ah, Mama tau aja.”

“Bi, if later Larisa has healed and she is not aware of your relationship you should divorce her, yes,” said Endra.

Abi's face instantly turned serious. “Why is that, Pah?”

“Sorry before, Bi. Papa, don't mean to take advantage of you now and then just don't need you anymore we dumped. It's just, Papa still feels bad with your Mama. You better divorce Larisa and find another woman who is worth you,” explained Endra.

“Pah, you don't see how happy Abi is when he tells about his relationship with Larisa. He loves our daughter so much, so what's wrong with us supporting him. We should have convinced Buk Ningsih to accept Larisa. Instead of asking Abi to divorce her,” angered Davira. "Mama also believes that Larisa will be happy with Abi."

“But, Mah-”

“Pa, until anytime I will not divorce my wife if she herself asks for a divorce. Mama Ningsing was right what Mama Davira said. We assure him that Larisa also deserves to be with me,” added Abi.

“Come, Pa. If we fight together, Mama believes Buk Ningsih can definitely accept all this. After all his son is also happy, there is no more reason for him not to approve their relationship,” Davira persuaded.

Endra thought for a moment. “OK, but we wait for Larisa to recover and she reciprocates her husband's feelings. After that we have a wedding.”

Abi and Davira smiled with relief that Endra wanted to fight together.

“Please, Ma, Pa,” says Abi kissed her two-in-law's hands.

“Ya. We rest. Already tonight,” invite Endra.

“Besok mornings finished morning prayers I want to run below. What, Papa, would you like to come?” tawar Abi's.

“Bby. On the beach, right?”

“We're down at seven then.”

“Siap, Pa.”

...🥐🥐🥐🥐...

“Morning, dear,” greet Davira when the princess descends from the second floor.

“Papa with Brother Abi where?" ask Larisa sitting at the dining table.

“Morning rundown.”

“On the beach?”

“Iya.”

“Kok I'm not built anyway, Mah?”

“Not you say no more prayers, so not Mama bagunin.”

“Iya, but usually early in the morning I will exercise with Brother Abi.”

“Oh, maybe later times, fitting them home Lari.”

“Ma?”

“Hmm,” Davira is preparing breakfast at the dinner table.

“I want to ask, can?”

“What's the question, baby?”

“Sini,” invite Larisa to approach.

Davira sat down next to her daughter.

“When I learned to swim with Brother Abi I thought there was something hard under the sininya Brother Abi,” Larisa pointed to the intimate part. “It's got a Boy, huh, Ma? It means again on, right, Ma?”

Davira was confused if he was laughing or serious. “La, you are an adult, there is no harm in knowing this. It's a sign that his male instinct is rising, but, Mama think there's no harm you ask Abi.”

“I asked, but Brother Abi kayak avoided it.”

“Terus?”

“Yes I don't ask anymore. Oh yeah, Ma, Abi sister used to ask me to kiss her on her lips. It's natural, Ma?”

“You men and women mature, Mama think it's a natural thing.”

“Mama, do not worry if later Abi asked for more of the same thing I?”

“Gak,” Davira replied lightly.

“Why?”

“La, now Mama can not explain anything. Abi who has the right to talk about it with you, even if you have really healed.”

“I've been cured, Ma.”

Davira shook her head and held both of her daughters shoulders. “If you feel healed, why still lock yourself in this villa? You should have seen the outside world, started to open yourself up to new people.”

“I'm afraid to be disappointed, Mah.”

“La, everyone has their good and bad sides, and so do you. But we should not shy away because as humans we are social creatures. Same good people can but do not trust too much because we do not know someone's heart against us.” Davira gave a little advice to his daughter.

“What about Brother Abi? I even already fully trust with him”

“La, make yesterday's event an experience for you to judge someone, whether he is really sincere or not. For the answer to your question, Mama is sure your heart can definitely give it.”
