The Story of the Children of the Juragan
167. Allow home
Mama Margaret took Leon's cell phone out of her grasp. Then for a moment looked at the phone and turned to look at Leon.
"Why are you reading like this, Leon? Do you really like Fatim, and want to follow in his footsteps?"
"I'm sorry, Leon ma. The more here Leon can not hold back the curiosity in the understanding of Salman and Fatim. Her strands of words made Leon's heart calm ma."
"It's okay. Just do it if it makes you better." Papa Marco, who heard the conversation, added.
"Really, pa?" Leon and mama asked in unison with faces that were hopefully anxious.
Marco nodded his head confidently in response.
"Leon, all you need to remember. When you learn an understanding, it's not because you like someone who embraces that understanding. But you do it because you intend to be sincere in your heart." said papa Marco.
"At first Leon was just amazed at every word that came out of their mouths. But after that, Leon increasingly realized, if in their book there is a truth. Leon had also never said feelings to Fatim."
"Hem, that's good. What if we learn together? To be able to remind each other if something goes wrong." Marco bargained
"Seriously, pa?" ask Leon and Mama again simultaneously.
"Yes. Where ever papa lied. Papa will always do what is best for you, so that you are happy. It's as old as this somersaults taking care of the company, but you stay relaxed and do as you please. But you're just silent, right?"
Leon grimaced to realize his mistake.
"I'm sorry Leon, pa. Leon should be like Salman helping his family."
"Well, it knows." Marco replied, and all chuckled together.
There was a knock on the door and the sound of the door opening. Salman and Wulan showed up smiling.
"Good morning everyone" Salman and Wulan said to Leon's family. They shake hands and embrace each other.
"Good morning too, Wulan. You're getting pretty." Mama Margaretha pulls Wulan's nose.
"Hihihi, thank you, Tan. Aunt Margaret was beautiful too. Oh yeah, this is yesterday we bought an extra vitamin for Leon. Actually want us to deliver yesterday, but because it's late, so we can just deliver now, Tan." explained Wulan at length.
"Oh, thank you dear." again Margaret hugged Wulan.
"Salman, thank you for always visiting me. I once hated you."
Leon did apologize to Salman, namely when he was married, when he was first visited, and now back to say again.
"Yes-yes. It's a sign that I'm really sorry." as usual Leon won't lose.
They go back to talking. A doctor came to check on Leon.
"The overall condition is good. Today we've allowed you to go home" the doctor said after a series of examinations.
They give thanks according to their understanding. Leon grabbed his phone and immediately notified Fatim. I don't know why the one in her head right now is that girl.
"It must be telling Fatim." said mama Margaret when she saw Leon typing something.
"Oh, so Wulan's guess is right. If Leon likes Fatim." said Wulan, and mama Margaret nodded her head.
"It's just a love for a fellow friend, Wulan." Leon deliberately quibbled.
"Fatim is a good girl. And I like it too, Leon." said Wulan again, giving a response about the woman who secretly put a liking on her husband long ago.
As they were talking about Fatim, the person who was being talked about finally appeared from behind the door, saying a greeting.
"God, the guy's coming." Wulan pointed to Fatim. The girl stared back at Wulan with a slightly confused look on her face.
"What's wrong?" tanyanya confusion.
"Congratulations. You are the one who managed to turn Leon to stop loving me." Wulan's hand was outstretched in front of Fatim, who was still confused.
"Ma-I mean what the hell. I don't understand." Fatim gave a faint smile.
"Didn't you like each other?" accuse Wulan.
"Nope-no. I mean, I treat Leon's brother the same way I treat everyone else." Fatim replied with a slight stammer, and a face that met with red.
Actually Fatim was just down. Because what happened instead, was that he was so worried about Leon's situation. And when he got word that the man had been allowed to go home, he was very happy.
Both of Leon's parents could see a red hue on Fatim's face. Both of them knew that what the girl said was inversely proportional to her heart.
While Leon slightly pursed his lips because Fatim said so. Like the word, after being cast high, it is now dropped into the deepest abyss. Though Leon can feel if the attention Fatim to him during the illness is not kidding.
