The Way To Marry You (KPdAM S2)
strawberry and chocolate

A magnificent shopping mall, with an ice cream shop inside. The ice cream shop that Abel used to go to with his family. Well, first and last time his family left together anyway.

Abel came first at the appointment, waiting for a woman who sent him a message last night. Abel did not know what the sender wanted, but it was also not good for Abel to ignore the message from a mother who had conceived him.

Before long, came the person he had been waiting for. Mistress Guston walked towards Abel with a gaze that Abel himself had never seen. Is this really the mistress Guston she knew? Why was it different from mistress Guston who usually looked at her with a look of disdain?

"Have you been waiting a long time?" ask Miss Guston who made Abel realize that the person who was fulfilling his mind is in front of him now.

"No, I also just arrived" replied Abel who began to feel awkwardness between the two.

Abel never expected to be with his mother like this and in the mall. This is the second time he was in the mall with his mother and in the same place as about fifteen years ago. It was a beautiful and sad experience because at the mall, she just looked at her mother who only allowed her brother to buy toys and others.

Forget about it, because now Abel was able to buy the things he wanted first. Even now he has no intention to buy it either. Abel's focus is now on the middle-aged woman he calls mother, who is silent in front of him who is stymied by the ice cream shop counter where they both are now.

As usual, now waiters this tavern approached Abel's desk and his mother's. Not even the menu board was given to Abel and his mother, but mistress Guston had cut it first.

"Just bring chocolate strawberry flavored ice cream, just topping strawberry slices. Message two yes," said mistress Guston made Abel frown.

"What kind of ice cream do you want?"

"You want the same strawberry taste as chocolate!" said the little boy loudly and sparkling eyes looking at the multicolored batch of ice cream in front of him.

"Do you want chocochips or strawberries?" ask the man whose hair and body still look young.

"Strawberry daddy! Abel likes strawberries!"

Abel remembers her enthusiastic self ordering ice cream here with her family. A small abel that pulls both corners of his lips because it will get ice cream with the flavor and toppings that he wants. And at that time, mistress Guston just quietly chose for the little Vano who was also enthusiastic about vanilla-flavored ice cream with waffles that look tempting.

"You still like strawberries, don't you?" mrs Guston asked Abel from his daydream.

"Ah yes, sa-I still like strawberries." replied Abel with a forced smile that looked stiff on his face.

The silence again came after the ordered ice cream also came and looked the same as it did fifteen years ago. Even Abel was astonished to see a shop that had stood for a very long time, but was still consistent with the taste and appearance of this ice cream.

"By the way how are you?" the question that came out when Abel wanted to scoop ice cream into his mouth. Well, with a heavy heart Abel must turn to his interlocutor now. Even though Abel just wants to disappear now.

"good. What about you?" answer questions back to her mother.

"My body is getting old. I can't seem to hide the pain in this porous body." Miss Guston's reply was punctuated by a small laugh at the end.

Abel, who was feeling very awkward, was only able to answer with a small laugh like mistress Guston. While enjoying her strawberry ice cream, Abel quietly said nothing more. Until finally, a word from mistress Guston made Abel's hand stop scooping ice cream into his mouth.

"This cream ice describes you" said mistress Guston who immediately made Abel turn to him.

"One with the typical sour taste of strawberries, and on the other hand there is a sweet taste of chocolate that can neutralize the sour taste." continued Madam Guston who increasingly made Abel's forehead wrinkled.

"Haha, this is my favorite ice cream from childhood" replied Abel interspersed with crisp laughter.

"And stupidly I just realized the meaning of your favorite ice cream." replied Miss Guston who immediately made the atmosphere as serious as possible. Sangatt~t serious.

"Sorry."

Feelings of happiness, sadness, and disappointment mixed in Abel. I don't know how long he hasn't felt this, but this time it's more pronounced. Not only did it make Abel cry, but it also made Abel laugh and smile.

"Sorry." words interspersed with glassy eyes while looking into Abel's eyes with a sense that could not be described.

"I'm sorry. I know it's too late, but living in hatred isn't one of my goals. I was blinded by the disappointment in my parents, until I forgot that I was a mother with a daughter whose life ended like mine." said mistress Guston who increasingly made Abel do not understand what to react like.

"I'm sorry Abel's mother! hyx.. I know that you must have been very hurt because of mom," continued Miss Guston who now drips a clear circle that flows on her cheek.

"After hearing that I'm going to be betrothed to your father, I'm angry with your grandfather. I think you should take revenge by seizing the rights that should be in the mother, so the mother only paid attention to Vano. I want Vano to continue your grandfather's business that suddenly turned to your father."

"But now I regret all that. Your father was the right choice for my father. Despite my thousands of efforts to make your father suffer, your father still supports you. Your father has no grudge against mother, but she has destroyed all her pride."

Seeing the stranglehold of a mother who came out with a clear circle, made Abel could not bear to immediately approach the middle-aged woman and embrace her. Abel really did not know what to say now, Abel's mind was still trying to digest whatever his mother said. Abel was at a loss for words which he should have been trying to encourage his mother.

All ended. One by one the reason his mother hated him, it was revealed with the apology that Abel welcomed by forgiving his mother. At least, he knew what happened in his mother's position at that time. Suddenly married, had children, and had to be a mother of children born to a life partner whom he had never loved in his life.

Now he has to start his life again. Put his mother's name in the family list that he had removed from his memory. Being a person who has a mother and is owned by her mother.

"It turns out to be true, if all will be uncovered in time. It is time that determines everything." Abel's mind now laughs with her forgotten self and foolishly spends useless time with someone who may not be her life choice.

If so Abel thought, for now she must be the woman with the mother's teaching she is now beginning to acknowledge.
