Ettrama: The Secret In Love

Cars cut through the streets of the capital Amsterdam, the traffic of vehicles is quite heavy, considering this is a holiday. Ramel drove calmly occasionally glanced sideways, saw Reista humming a little listening to Katty Parry's song.

Her voice sounded sweet to Ramel's ears, showing a faint smile as Renand also sang along. I don't know what made them very close, for the first time Renandra loved a woman besides her grandmother and of course her late birth mother.

Their car entered the Vondelpark area, a place in Amsterdam which is one of the largest parks reaching 47 hectares. The park, which first opened in 1865, is located in the city center.

There are many things to do in this park, such as afternoon walks, relaxing, cycling, and even skateboarding. especially during the summer like this, there are several festivals that are held such as music concert performances that can be enjoyed for free.

Ramel, Reista, and Renandra got out of the car and walked hand in hand to one of the park benches, their child had already made an appointment to meet in one of these parks with their friends.

Reista closed her eyes slightly as the cool wind gently fell on her face, it had been a long time since she took a walk in this afternoon. especially busy with work when she was not married to Ramelson.

The three of them sat and enjoyed the calm breeze, looking like a happy little family. no chat, each busy with his thoughts and occasionally see some people passing by.

Reista took out the lunch that she had been carrying in ToteBag, opened the lunch box which contained sweet bread and several pieces of fruit that had been cut.

"You want Ramel?" Reista pushed the food inside the lunchbox towards Ramel, Ramel took one sweet bun and chewed it slowly.

"Son". Now Reista was thrusting it towards his son Renandra, his son also took sweet bread and chewed it slowly.

Reista took the mango chunks with the fork that had been in her ToteBag, remained silent and enjoyed the afternoon in silence.

"Renandra". shouted three boys who ran towards Renandra, Reista smiled seeing them. it seems the three children are good friends of her son Renandra.

"Hi". Renandra got up from his seat, and approached them, Ramel and I also stood up and looked at them carefully.

"Where is your Mommy?" they said enthusiastically, Renandra invited them and stood in front of Reista.

"Mom, this is my friends. There are Daniel, Glen, and also David". Renadra pointed to one theme.

"Hi kid, nice to meet you". Reista rubbed their heads one by one, their eyes very beautiful as they smiled happily.

"Hi, Aunty". they said together.

"I'm David". said the one with blue irises and black hair.

"I'm Daniel". This one has brown eyes like my son Renandra, but has a little blonde hair when exposed to the sun.

"I'm Glen Mom". now it's crazy that the little boy looks shorter than the three of them, his face is very cute with clear green eyes.

"I'm Aunty Reista, kid". the three of them nodded and kept smiling.

"Aunty is very beautiful, just like Renand told us." Glen said while holding Reista's hand gently.

"Thank you, you are also very handsome". Reista invited them to sit on a park bench which was enough for the six of them.

"do you want this?". Reista gave them fruit and some sweet bread. they nodded and took some sweetbreads.

Looks like they boys are almost the same, really like sweet bread. luckily Reista brought quite a lot, and this time Reista only ate the mangoes by herself.

"Mom, can we rent a bicycle and go around together". Renandra interrupted our silence.

"Of course you can, come on". I said getting up from sitting and tidying up ToteBag, they stood and waited for me.

we walked together, Renandra and his friends occasionally joked and chatted cheerfully. but not with me and Ramel, we just kept quiet with our own thoughts. If people see us, maybe they will think that we are a family with a cute and handsome child. happy to accompany them around the park. But that's what people think, in fact only the kids look happy, maybe not with Ramel who just puts on his cold face.

We arrived at the bicycle renters, there are many kinds of bicycles that we can rent. starting from the size of children, adults, and also those who can be hugged together.

"Mom, we ride a bicycle, two by two". Renadra took a medium-sized bicycle, behind him was Glen who he was riding. and two of his friends had also taken the same bicycle Renand had taken.

I glanced at Ramel who was smiling seeing them, what should i do? Does Ramel want to ride a bike with me ?. seen from his face he seemed reluctant, not to mention since the incident we accidentally kissed earlier. I don't think Ramel wants to be close to me for now.

"come on". Ramel interrupted my daydreams, he was already in front of me on a bicycle like Renand. but maybe the size is specifically for adults. I was a little surprised, but soon I got on and Ramel was already pedaling calmly.

"Hold on if you don't wanna fall Reista". Ramel's cold words made me hurriedly grabbed Ramel's clothes from the side. the smell of cinnamon mixed with mint made me close my eyes a little to inhale the fragrance for a long time.

I didn't know that Ramel had an intoxicating scent like this, several times I did often sniff out the fragrance of a Ramel, but never knew that inhaling it from this close was so comfortable.

When I kissed Ramel before, I didn't really smell his body, it seems that the scene just bothered me too much. certainly annoying, it's the unexpected thing we've done.

Ramel cycled behind his children, they looked cool playing together. maybe every holiday Ramel would take them out.

Reista's hand beside his waist made Ramel a little warm, this is the first time he has taken a ride with a woman besides his ex wife.

"Have you ever ridden a bicycle like this Reista?" Ramel asked to cover their silence all this time.

"When we were with my brother, we used to be at the park like this." I nodded in understanding, Reista got used to his older brother as a child. Ramel indeed often chats with his brother when he is on business.

"Do you often do this with your ex-wife?". Reista asked back, to cover the boredom.

"Yes, we used to be at the park like this, we were friends from childhood. So we have done a lot of things."

"I'm lucky to have her, for the rest of his life she never complained against the disease she suffered". Ramel looked at the trees he passed, a little choked when he remembered the many memories he had spent with his ex-wife.

They were silent for a while, seeing the children who had stopped pedaling and resting on the grass.

"she must be very beautiful and a very gentle woman". asked Reista, who had not yet gotten off her bicycle.

"yes she is very beautiful, her smile can make my days more colorful". after saying that, Reista was speechless. his face radiated a deep sadness, who knows what saddened him.

They only talked about someone who was no longer in this world, they were only talking briefly about the ex-wife who was loved so much by Ramelson. but why did Reista feel the many needles that suddenly pierced the recesses of his heart.

She shouldn't have felt pain like this, if Ramel still loved his wife, that would only be natural. he has been with his wife since he was little, while Reista? only a few months he became acquainted with Ramel. and only two days she was close to her husband.

Reista got off the bike and approached the children who were joking on the grass, she didn't say any more to Ramel. I don't know her lips are speechless only to say a word.
