The Murder of the Beloved
Chapter 15

Dinda is comfortable now. He does not have to bother anymore every time he wants to sleep. That feeling is so much fun. He heard his mother's joking voice with Bram without emotion anymore. Even he could not care, until over time the voices were not clear anymore so no longer bother him. His mind can be drawn to other things. He imagines being with his father and Irene.

His regular training sessions are Saturday and Sunday. But if he has no repetition and not much PR, then he can add with another day of leisure. His father did not mind even welcoming him with pleasure. So did Irene. They did not appear to be disturbed by his presence, until he did not feel like a third person there.

"Honeymoon is over, Din. Continuous both are also boring, dong. There needs to be a variation." Irene admitted.

The confession astonished him. It's been at the tip of the tongue of the question, why is he the man not married officially and then have a child. But he was afraid that such a question could offend. So he turned his questions to the things around Irene's work. They both get along well. In Dinda's eyes, Irene is an independent woman who does not like to demand. He wanted to be free and so he gave his father freedom. But that doesn't necessarily make him free to connect with Johan is over, so there are no irregularities or infidelity. So the conclusion of Dinda, people choose kebo gather is actually not sure of his love for his partner. So they choose relationships that are temporary. Can disperse tomorrow the day after tomorrow. But can it be done without heartache for at least one? If so, how is it different from marriage? He compared it to the separation of his parents.

Actually, there's a lot of difference. Because marriage is carried out through the same difficult procedures. The pain is the same, but the procedure is different. And there are still children who have to bear the pain. He himself is an example.

His observations did produce additional musings and insights. He will not just imitate the two people as his mother had feared. But he was determined, at the right time he would ask his father.

Now, he has a certain motivation and because he does not want to fail before it is achieved. If his father is offended and does not want to train him again, then he will lose. Until now he has enjoyed his training very much, although he had to get up and get chafed here and there. According to his father, it was only natural. And it should be. People have to get sick first, have fun later.

Breathing exercises that are done diligently turned out to be the result. "It's not hard, is it?" father says. "The hard thing is not practice but discipline."

Dinda acknowledged the truth of those words and appreciated her as well. Without feeling it for himself it might be difficult for him to admit. Now he feels himself fresher and fitter, agile and energetic. Aided by kung fu exercises, a pair of legs feels light and smooth when taken for a walk. There is nothing called wrong stepping, slipping, or tripping as often experienced. If by any chance the road is slippery or perforated that makes him lose balance, but it's just a moment. He quickly managed to overcome until he did not fall. Not only a pair of light legs, his body was so, and his reflexes were sharp. When he told his father his experience in amazement, his father laughed happily.

"Oh, of course not, Dad. If I could, I'd like to inherit all of my father's knowledge. Can you?"

Johan laughed loudly. He was very pleased. "certainly could. Sure do. But remember, that motivation you have to defend."

Now, Dinda pondered all of that with a smile. Occasionally passing through his ears the laughter of his mother and Bram. Apparently the two men were having fun. But their voices just pass without clarity. Fortunately, it's not disturbing. He enjoys the meditation more. He became aware, too, that the results of his training so far not only beneficial physically, but also in the field of psychic and mental. It may not be too mature, but it is better able to hold on to resentment without feeling tormented. So her mother and Bram can make out in front of her eyes without making her emotional. The feeling of resentment is still there but it can be overcome.

He smiled at the motivational words his father had said. Of course his father did not know what his true motivation was. Certainly not because he wanted to drain the knowledge that his father had. At first, the motivation that was the driver was precisely his hate speech against Bram. He always imagined himself to be able to fight the man if one day attacked and turned to beat him to death. Thus Bram will be surprised that the girl he initially underestimated it turned out to have hidden abilities. He hated to remember the gaze of Bram who believed contained scorn and harass it. He felt like a delicious food that raised saliva. Imagine if his father knew what the real motivation was.

Dinda fell asleep in the middle of her reflection. But then he woke up when the ear that became sensitive caught the sounds slowly. He opened his eyes and for a while had to get used to the darkness in his room. Actually it is not dark because there is still light from the hallway in front of his room that enters through the wind hole. After a while his eyes could clearly see the objects in front of him. He set his eyes on the door. Because of the distance he got up and approached and stopped at a distance of about one meter from the door. Handel the door move! There were obviously people who intended to open and push the door. But of course it didn't work. Another case if only propped up tables and chairs. In that case the door can still be open, just hard to push. After all, if the driving force is strong, the door can also move. That has been proven several times because the position of the chair table shifted from its original place.

Dinda thought hard. Should he open the door slowly and then open the door suddenly? Surely people outside do not run away. He can catch wet. But then came his fear. What would he do when faced? Suddenly I thought of another possibility. What if that guy over there wasn't Bram? He was not sure of his own ability to deal with that person.
