Dear, Dolls!

Dear, Dolls!
Last Request


While Emma was still unaware of the source of her current confusion, Mr. Kiman had already taken a seat next to the young girl.


"What are you doing here, Emm?" Ask Mr. Kiman suddenly.


"Uh? Waiting for Papa to come home. Aren't you my papa, huh?" Emma asked with a confused mind.


The girl was a little troubled by the pieces of memories that she did not understand her relationship. Even so, one thing Emma believes is the truth. That Mr. Kiman is his biological Papa.


"Is that right, Pa?" Ask Emma back.


Mr. Kiman rubbed Emma's head once before answering her question.


"If you still want to call me that, it's okay. Papa will be very happy," said Kiman while giving him a sad look.


"Uh? Why would Papa say that? Of course Papa will always be his Papa Emma! Is there a former Papa? There is nothing, Pa! Ex-girlfriend, just got there!" Seloroh Emma.


Mr. Kiman chuckled briefly.


"Hehe. You really look like your Mama, Emm. You guys are so smart to quibble. Maybe that's what makes Papa used to be amazed at your Mama." said Kimanto with a look of openness to the open sea.


"Dh.. Emma doesn't want to be said to look like Mama, Pa! Mama is so chatty! Emma is often diomelin! Emma's cool is like Papa!" Emma said as she leaned her head against Kimanto's shoulder.


Kimanto rubbed Emma's hair several times. Something poked the man's chest. Her taste had been a long time since she had spoiled Emma like this.


'If only I still had a chance to do this, ' Kimanto thought to himself.


My dear, time is almost up. There must be something that the man tells Emma, before he goes to his other world.


Still rubbing the princess's head, Kimanto said again.


"Emma. if you wake up later, and remember this dream.. Papa wants you to know, if the biggest regret Papa ever did was to leave you and your Mama, too" said Kimanto.


"Humm? The dreams? So, this is a dream, Pa?" Ask Emma back.


"Listen to Papa for the last time, Emm, put your head back on Papa, son. Let Papa keep this memory for Papa to remember when Papa went to another world.." Kimanto asked Emma.


Emma had her head on Kimanto's shoulder. Then he put his ears well, according to the request of the Papa.


"Papa would love to get your apologies, son. Although Papa knows, Papa's sin against you is very great. Even so, please forgive your stupid Papa, Emm. for the peace of your own heart.." continued Kimanto.


"Please forgive Papa who was so foolish in loving. To ignore the beautiful things that Papa already has," continued Kimanto back.


"Beautiful that's what he meant, Pa?" I asked Emma spontaneously.


"You, and your Mama, Emm. You guys are the most beautiful thing Papa ever had. But because of being fooled by love for other women, Papa instead forgets you. please forgive Papa.." Pinta Kimanto with a voice that began to sound hoarse.


Emma was about to lift her gaze upwards. But Kimanto's hand held him back to stay on the man's shoulder. As a result, Emma could only hear in silence for a few seconds following her man sobbing in silence.


For some reason, even though Emma was still confused by what Kimanto said, the girl felt something pressing on her chest so strongly. Until Emma felt her chest become tightened her made.


'What's really going on? I don't understand what Papa's saying. Why am I crying too?!' inner Emma squealed in shock.


Yep. Emma was shocked when she realized two streams of tofu tears had been brewing from the end of her two eyes.


In silence, the father and son pair leaned against each other while staring at the blue sea that was flushed by the reddish rays of the twilight.


After a while, Kimanto spoke again.


"Continue your life as much as possible, Emm. Don't look into the mirror of your dark past for too long. Because your future is ahead. So you have to look forward, not backward" Kimanto continued.


"Forget revenge, hate and all the negative feelings that are in your heart, Emm. Because all those negative emotions are like little coals of fire gathering little by little in your heart. If you do not immediately extinguish it, the small coals will gradually grow until then can scorch yourself. It is a loss, ", Kimanto continued.


After a while, Kinanto took something out of his pocket.


"Take this, Emm..."


Emma receives a golden apple from Kimanto's hand.


"Is this an apple, Pa? But the color is gold." asked Emma looked at the apple in astonishment.


"This is a Reminder Fruit, Emm," Kimanto replied briefly.


"Fruit Reminder? Why is it called that, Pa?" Ask Emma again.


Kimanto then asked Emma to stand up. He then invited Emma to walk slowly without answering Emma's last question.


The two then came out of the beach, and arrived in front of an artificial waterfall from a cliff that was only about five meters high. Although it looks artificial, but the flow of water coming down from the top is quite tight in Emma's vision.


Emma was confused by the reason Kimanto invited her to this place.


"Why are we here, Pa?" Emma asked who was still holding the golden apple in her left hand. While from earlier his right hand was held tightly by the Papa.


"Papa wants to take you home, Emm. Eat this Reminder Fruit as well, then go through the artificial waterfall. That way, when you wake up later, you will remember our memories while on the beach earlier.maybe this is all that Papa can leave for you, Emm. Go!" Kimanto's words sounded rather urgent.


"But.. Emma's not coming home yet, Pa.. Emma still wants to be here with Papa.." reject Emma who still refuses to separate.


"You need to wake up right now, Emm. Your world is waiting for you!" Kimanto said again.


"How about Papa? Is Papa going to stay here?" Ask Emma back.


Kimanto did not look Emma in the eye as he gave his answer.


"Papa's world is waiting for Papa, Emm. We split up to here. Live happily Emm.. Reno is a good man. Don't waste his kindness. As Papa once did when he wasted your kindness and that of your mother first." Kimanto's advice was again heard.


Although Emma is still confused by this conversation, the girl still obeys Kimanto's orders. He then approached the waterfall to pass through it.


But just before she stepped up, Emma again heard Kimanto's voice remind her.


"Eat the fruit of his Reminder too, Emm. Papa loves you, son.."


Without turning around again, Emma ate a golden apple in her hand. Then directly past the waterfall Forgetting.


And..


A moment later, Emma knew she had woken up from her long slumber.


As soon as he woke up, the two girl's eyes immediately flooded.


Emma remembered her dream. He remembered the message and the farewell message from Kimanto to him in a dream.


The girl finally decays in a long cry. At the end of dawn which still holds the rest of the dark night.


Beside Emma, Sella is awakened by the sound of the sister's sobs. But Emma did not stop her crying for a long time.


There is sadness as well as a sense of happiness and relief felt by Emma. After his brief encounter with the Papa in dreamland earlier.


'Thank you, Pa. for visiting Emma in a dream..Emma promised, Emma's gonna do what Papa asked. And Papa doesn't have to worry either, because Emma's sorry Papa. So, Papa is happy there too!' emma's message was to Kimanto who she whispered in the cold morning breeze.
