Take Me To The Sky
34. Thank You for Keeping the Promise (END)

Julian also told his mother that he had broken up from Sandra. Julian asked his mother to understand his feelings and no longer forced him to marry the woman his mother had chosen.

"Ma, I want to marry a woman of my own choice" Julian said.

Santika. He was not angry or expressing anything. But it made Julian panic. "Ma, I'm sorry I might have let you down." Julian added.

Before long, Santika looked at her youngest child while smiling. "Sorry mom who doesn't understand how you feel" she said.

Surely the words of Santika make Julian smile happy. "Mom not angry?" tanyakanya.

"No." replied Santika shaking her head while smiling.

"Thank you ma. I love my mom." Julian hugged his mother. Maybe just this time Julian really felt the affection of his mother was amazing. This time, my mother understood his feelings.

"Fruit.." Julian repeatedly kissed his mother's cheek.

Reno looked at the scene then approached. He wondered what made his mother and sister so close. They always fight every time together. "Tumben you kissed mama?" ask Reno.

"Yes, my mother is my favorite" replied Julian while kissing his mother again.

It seems like Reno knows why Julian is so happy and keeps kissing his mother. Previously, Julian told me about his relationship with Sandra. Maybe his mother would understand so Julian was very happy.

"Ma, I want to say something too" Reno said.

"What son?"

"I want to go back with Ana. I hope you can support me." said Reno.

"Ana's? But doesn't Ana like that damn child? Why are you suddenly coming back?"

"Ma, Brother Defan is not a pesky carrier. Mama don't hate to keep going to Defan dong. Sis Defan is a very good person to know." said Julian who always did not accept when Defan insulted.

"Yes ma, don't insult Defan like that. Defan is innocent, after all. He was just the result of papa's mistake." - Reno, who was also sad when she heard that Defan was insulted by his mother.

Santika. It's true what Reno said. Defan is completely innocent. She was only a victim of the wrongs committed by her husband. Of course, if you have to choose, Defan also does not want to be born as a child of his papa affair.

"Ana realized her mistake and she wanted to be in a relationship with me. I want to try because I still like him" Reno said.

"Are you sure Ana would accept you? You weren't traumatized when she was living you first?" ask Santika. He wanted to make sure that his children would always be happy.

"It's clear everything ma. He also wants to take care of me. He doesn't want to keep going after Defan, he wants to be loved" Reno replied.

"Son, mama is up to you. Whatever makes you happy, you will definitely support" Santika replied.

"For mama the most important thing is the happiness of both of you." added Santika.

"Thank you." Different from Julian. Reno simply thanked her without hugging her mother. Even so, she still loves her mother.

"Later tonight we have dinner together! Invite Ana!" Santika.

"And take your sister too!" coined.

Reno and Julian looked at each other. They don't believe what they hear. "Sister? Meaning Defan?" tanya Reno confirmed.

"Who else." answered Santika.

"Oh okay ma."

"Okay, call Defan now." Julian and Reno were very happy. Does that mean Santika is starting to accept Defan.

****

The night came.

The dinner discussed Reno's closeness with Ana who re-established. "I promise to take care of Reno" Ana said in front of the Reno family.

"Def, I'm sorry for trying to tease you" Ana added.

"No problem. Many women tease me. But nothing can make me turn away from my wife." Defan replied as he clasped Anin's hand.

"Nin, I'm sorry. We're gonna be family. I hope you can forgive me!" ana said to Anin.

"Yes. You're welcome." Anin is so generous. He did not want to prolong the problem, let alone have admitted the mistake and heartened to apologize.

The atmosphere of the dinner was warm after they admitted each other wrongly and apologized. When they finished, Defan and Anin went home.

"Ren, we go home first! Thanks for dinner" said Defan.

"Why rush? Don't feel at home here? Don't want to sleep here because this house is not as luxurious as your house?" sahut Santika with cynicism.

However, even though Santika said cynically. Defan was able to capture the meaning of the words Santika. "I'm going to go home early in the morning" Defan said.

"Whatever. Your room has been cleaned" Santika said as she walked away from the dining table.

A smile bloomed on Defan's lips. Although Santika showed a face he did not like. But, Defan saw if Santika had actually accepted it. "Thank you" said Defan with a smile.

"We are here!" lirih Defan to Anin.

"Yes." Of course as a wife, Anin had to obey what her husband said.

...

In the attic room, it used to be Defan's room. He was given a room there by Santika. "This was your room?" ask Anin. He did not expect that Santika would be so cruel to Defan.

"Yes.."

"What a hell is your stepmom?"

"It's okay. I was just smirking. When I'm upset, I usually sit in front of you looking up at the sky and telling you about my heart's turmoil." Defan laid his body on a mattress that he did not use for a long time.

"Why do you want to know why I love to see the sky and when I fall in love with you?" Anin shook her head.

"You want to never comfort a little boy who lives by his parents on a hill?"

Anin's thoughts then drifted to a time where Defan took her to recall the past. Over time, he began to remember who Defan was.

"So that's you?" Anin never thought of this coincidental destiny.

"Hmmm.."

"So that's why you married me? But have you ever been looking for me?"

"Yes. I'm looking for you after I'm grown up. But he said, you went to college in the city. Then I believe that we will meet. And I will keep my childhood promise to marry you" Defan said as he stared fixedly at Anin.

"I thought our meeting was just a coincidence. But it turns out that everything is our destiny" Anin said and hugged Defan.

"Thank you for keeping your heart. Thank you for keeping your promise." he added.

"I wish we'd never be apart again. Be a part of my life!" the word Defan also hugged Anin tightly.
