Trapped in Taste
Chapter 17 - Khaliza and Ryan's Chat

The warm atmosphere of dinner between a mother and a son, a simple but quite happy situation of a mother's heart.

Since the death of Yong Woong, the house was not cheerful for Khaliza, he was so lonely, plus, Ryan who rarely came home because of work affairs became a Bodyguard. Khaliza only prefers to stay at home while worshiping, he keeps the rest of his life for his Lord only.

Once a week Khaliza went to school and occasionally the woman chatted with neighbors and house servants whose status did not live in their homes.

Since marrying Yong Woong, the trials of life have continued to come to Khaliza. Recently, the woman from Padang was sentenced by doctors to early-stage Coronary heart disease but the disease can develop depending on the situation of Khaliza's thoughts and feelings.

That's why Ryan must be able to keep his mother's feelings, the young man did not want to argue his mother's words and no longer want to make his mother disappointed. For Ryan, whatever his mother's decision, it's the best. Ryan wants to make his mother happy after all the years he left and ignored even often rebuking his mother.

During her marriage to Yong, Khaliza held back feelings that she could not express to anyone. This makes the heart and stomach unhealthy. Almost every day he continues to be anxious, stress is also full of pressure to think about the condition of the husband and the state of his son who is abroad. Not to mention the dark terrors that kept coming from nowhere, because it was inevitable, Yong had a trace of a bad past against many others.

The GMCs of Yong and Khaliza are completely controlled by Ryan. GMC itself is almost dim, Ryan needs enough funds to revive it. While many of their assets are forced to be sold in order to fight for the health of the husband. Yong did not want to accept money from the Woong family because it would only corner his wife.

After being evicted from the Woong family, Ryan struggles to find a job in the capital, he intends to raise money to raise the company of his parents who had once been victorious and growing, almost all companies accept him because he has the best leadership qualifications taught by Lim Woong.

Previously, Yong Woong and Deny Sulaiman were good friends and even had a good business partnership, knowing Ryan's conflict with his Uncle. Deny Sulaiman offers Ryan to become a bodyguard for his family with a considerable salary, although the risk is also very high. Interested in Deny's offer, Ryan finally left his job at another company and served to Deny Sulaiman or Frans Albar's real father.

"Eat a lot of yah!" khaliza said gently, adding a little more rice and side dishes to Ryan's plate.

Ryan smiled sweetly in his small nod.

"Where, Mama's cooking, not good?" khaliza's cheerful smile, made her lips split.

"Sure Mah, a mother's cooking is definitely the most delicious in the world, beating the most expensive chef!" said cheerfully Ryan.

"Hahahaha, you're being ridiculed or praised anyway!"

"Dad praises dong Mah and home is the most comfortable paradise!"

Khaliza nodded.

After eating, Ryan washed the dishes. Falling awake has been felt by a Ryan in living life.

"It doesn't feel like my son is an adult!" khaliza's murmured looked at Ryan from behind.

"what do you want to eat, son!" ask softly Mama.

Ryan directly embraced his mother while saying.

"It should be Ryan who asked Mama that question. Slowly the man took his mother to the living room area!"

"Awhile Mah?" ryan rushed to get something into the room and handed the jewelry box to his mother.

"What is this, son?" asked gently Khaliza in a look of surprise.

"Open the Mah!" ryan's Smile.

Khaliza was amazed,

"Where do you get money, son, don't you need money?"

Ryan squatted in front of his mother.

"Mama don't worry, that's definitely the money to buy it is halal and the result of Ryan's own sweat. Mah, Ryan promised one by one that he'd take Mama's personal assets that had been sold, it's Ryan's responsibility to return them."

Khaliza put the jewel city down, and immediately hugged Ryan rubbing his son's head.

"Thank you son, Mama is happy, but Ryan, right now Mama's biggest and most expensive asset is just you!"

"Ryan is sorry Mah, for all the sins Ryan has ever committed, Ryan just wants Mama to be alive, healthy and happy!" Ryan couldn't hold back his tears. The young man understood very well what his mother's love struggle to the Father was like and survived in the Woong family.

"Sit down baby, wipe your tears!" Khaliza.

"Whenever you go, Mama always prays for you, no matter how wrong you are, Mama has forgiven you. Ryan, you're a boy, you're young, which means don't give up, cry if it's medicine to get your heart back!"

"What makes Mama stick with Papa, isn't he a guy who's been like junk, it's not fair, my beautiful mama, it's just, sholeh, like the figure of the angel of heaven sent to the world, should be able to get a much better man than Papa?" ask Ryan

Khaliza smile.

"If Mama hadn't married your Papa, you wouldn't have, would you?"

Ryan smiled faintly.

"Even though your Papa was a former gambler, a heavy drunk, even caught a Mafia case, but your Papa never hit Mama in the slightest, angry or rebuking, but your father never hit Mama, he always relented as if he was the weakest man in the world, always ignorant and joking, hearing Mama's scolding, like a dangdut song that echoed in his ears.

Before going to bed, as well as when Mama was asleep, your Papa always stroked his hair and hugged Mama, simple things that almost every day he did while whispering in Mama's ear;

"Khaliza, I don't want to part from you, don't leave me, I'm afraid of losing you, I can't find the best woman like you anymore."

Simple actions and words that eventually ensnare the feeling of love, pity, pleasure, sadness mixed into one in the heart of Mama, until Mama determined no matter what happens I have to hug my husband! A pretty strong snare that couldn't let go of all about your Papa in Mama's memory until this second, it's all embedded!" khaliza said in red eyes.

"Mama miss Papa Yah?" ask softly Ryan.

Khaliza could only nod.

Ryan smiled and immediately hugged his mother, Khaliza's tears dripping.

Ryan wiped his mother's tears.

"Mama is sure, someday if you meet the woman you love so much, you will also do the same thing as your Papa!"

"Amiin!" answer Ryan quickly.

"Well, there's something Ryan wants to say, but Ryan's afraid you can't take it!" the face of the man looked quite agitated.
