Fake Identity
Sad - Part 7

Now I sat looking at the grave with my name on it, my feelings mixed between sadness, disbelief and disappointment. Because Ms. Mirna said other than close neighbors and the orphanage children, no one else took part in my funeral procession. I still have a family, but they think I died first.

Andin hope you calm down in nature there, sorry I just got to see you today and I asked permission to borrow your face for a while. I will make your husband feel the pain of losing you and one more thing, surely the mastermind who made you die is the same person who hurt me before the coma incident.

I held the gravestone once more before moving from there, next to me, Miss Mirna also shed tears. In my heart I whispered, Thank you, Miss Mirna, for your sincerity, your love that never fades.

"Mother Mirna, excuse me. Assalamualaikum!" pamitku, then I turned around to leave.

***

I did not go home immediately, my footsteps rolled me to a place to eat that I used to visit when I just got a salary. Warteg is simple yet tastes different food from other eating places and I love it.

"Warteg Bang Udin"

My stomach was immediately rumbling when entering the door of this warteg, without lingering I ordered food that I had never ordered during a meal in this warteg. Understandably I did not have much money and my status as a boarding child made me have to be economical in spending and at such times accounting formula is needed to manage my finances.

This afternoon the sun was very stinging, making me sultry. Spreading my eyes, I saw many people looking at me strangely. Ah, I just remembered the clothes I was wearing. One by one I took off the hat, glasses and mask I was wearing. This is definitely not going to attract people's attention anymore, I thought relieved.

"Sir, here's the order!" a waiter brought me food.

"Oh, yes thanks!" my mouth is smiling.

After the waiter left without a stale base I immediately devoured the food, my eyes closed to enjoy the delicious crab sauce that I could enjoy today. Really mantle!

There were five foods I ordered in addition to the meadow sauce crab and all of them I could spend in a relatively short time. It really fits my nickname, the rubber belly.

After finishing the big iced tea glass I was about to go from there to pay, but my intentions were clouded when everyone looked at me in disbelief, someone widened their eyes with their mouth open full of food, he said, someone even pointed the camera at me.

Surprised, that's what I'm feeling right now seeing their reaction. Instead of being stuck for a long time in this strange atmosphere, I put the red paper money on the table. I said my things that were still on the table, then I moved my way to the door of the warteg, just arrived at the doorway suddenly someone called Andin's name, making me turn.

"Bak Andin?"

"Yes, who is it? You know me?"

One of the women in front of me nodded with an enthusiastic smile, "yes, obviously know it! these guys are artists! Can I not ask for a photo?"

Well, I just wanted that my face currently belongs to an artist. It is only fitting that they react that way. "Can, really."

The woman gave her phone to her friend, then we took pictures and then changed with her friend. Soon the people who were still shocked by my presence were in droves asking for photos, patiently serving them one by one.

"Sir, may I ask for a photo also for me to display on the front banner of my warteg?" Bang Udin-owner of this warteg approached me.

I smiled as I nodded, "of course I can."

Czechkk….

"Thank you, Ma'am Andin." Bang Udin said full of happiness.

"Yes, equally. Cuisine Bang Udin mantul, loh! I love it, I'll have time to come here again!"

"Thankful if Mbak likes, later when Mbak visits here again I will provide the best service possible for Mbak!"

"No need to overdo it, as always, is enough."

"Ready, Ma'am!" Bang Udin raised his hand respectfully.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Bang."

"Be careful, Ma'am Andin is beautiful!"

I came out of the newspaper with a smile that was perfectly fluffy. Happiness is simple yes, seeing others happy because we are, I am happy.

When I got home, Edo adger immediately greeted me with excitement!

"Inceesss.. You are truly the best, wonderfull! Look at it, you're a topic tranding! And this is the first time you've been tranding a topic with good news."

Edo showed me an I-pad featuring an online news portal with the headline "ANDIN BEAUTIFUL ARTIST FOOD LOVER FOLK"

"I was always in the bad news, huh?"

Edo came closer to me and sat down next to me, "not that, but the character you once had was hard and heartless, so you have a lot of haters and often in bad gosipin same lambe-lambean it!"

"Is that what I used to be?"  ask me with concern, actually what is Andin like? Is he so evil that so many people hate him?

The look on Edo's face turned serious, "you who used to be not that evil actually. But what eyke knows, after your husband is caught cheating, you turn violent. Frequent emotionality and love to lanterns it all to the people around you," explains Edo at length.

So this is all because of the land crocodile man, Aldebaran?! What a pity for Andin, living with a man who likes to play with women's hearts. But rest assured there is me who will bring your husband to his knees to apologize for all his depraved behavior! I'm not doing this for you, Andin. I did this to defend the woman who was the victim of her husband's infidelity, because I hate an affair so much!

"Oh, so. If I wanted to change, would you believe me?"

"Wahhh... really? Didn't eyke hear wrong? You want to change, in a better direction, right?"

"Yes, I want to be better. And I'm also ready to go back to work" I said with determination. I'll show them all that I can!

Edo cheered happily, "okay, tomorrow we'll have a press conference about your return to the world to artisan."

As Edo was about to leave, I held him back, "my friend bought me a shirt!"

"Good idea! You have to look charming for the press conference tomorrow! "

***

My eyes circulated all over the Mall that I went with Edo, vast and numerous shops and restaurants. When I was a kid, I used to go to this place, where rich people spent their money.

"Incess... Where are we going?" edo's question made me turn my face towards him.

"Emm... Just go there, it looks like the clothes are good!" my index finger was pointing at a clothing store called "Boutique Syantik"

"Yuk cap cuss…"

We also stepped in that direction, actually my goal is to buy new clothes because my clothes used to be donated by Ms. Fatma the caretaker where I used to live. So I don't want to have to buy clothes back. Andin's clothes in the closet a lot of times but when I try it feels uncomfortable and strange, most of Andin's clothes are short dresses, and when I try it, it's a little bit of a dress, there is also a long dress with a hemisphere up to the thigh there is even the most make me shudder in horror at seeing one of the dresses that is very thin even transparent. So I decided to buy a new dress.

On the doorstep of the store we were greeted by two saleswomen dressed in black and white with hair on a high pony. "Welcome!" say both.

I said hello to them with a nod of my head, then I stepped inside. Clothes with various models immediately pampered my eyes, maybe if I was a woman who loves shopping I would have raided all kinds of clothes in this store but I am not one of the women of that class. I am a simple woman, although often times wishy-washy when choosing something.

"Incess..it's a punch for you! Look beautiful!"

Edo came up to me carrying a pink brucat dress, he put the dress on my body.

"Perfects!"

"No Edo, I don't fit in with this! I want to find something simple!" I said while pushing away the dress.

"No match from where! It's it's perfect! The lizard! If you can't believe try it first!"

"But…"

"Sanaaah!" not finished I protested, Edo had already pushed me into the dressing room.

I had to obey Edo to try on the dress, hopefully not to fit my mind. I really do not like to wear dresses, besides being complicated and not as fast as when wearing pants, a dress like this makes me remember the bad events in the past. Why I only had a concussion, why not amnesia so I can no longer remember the bad events.

"Yuhuu... Incess...why did you stay inside so long?"

Hearing Edo's voice I immediately regained my senses from my daydream and rushed out after the dress was neatly attached to my body.

"Oh my god! You look so pretty!" edo's screeches made me close my ears immediately.

"Edo, don't be more, deh!"

"Gee! Who is lebay! You are beautiful bingits! Look at the glass if you still don't believe it," Edo pointed me towards the large mirror that could show my entire body from head to toe.

I was amazed to see my reflection in the mirror, it was beautiful too. But this is because of the beautiful face of Andin, just try my real face that there is a mirror reflection that will definitely look ordinary.

"Hm? How's it? Beautiful, right!"

"Pretty. But I'm not comfortable wearing this shirt, changing the others, huh?"

"Huh! Yeah, yeah, yeah…." I went back in to change my clothes again.

Out of the dressing room, I chose to go around exploring the row of clothes. My step leads to a row of jeans, I need a lot of stock for everyday. After getting the matching pants, I proceeded to venture into the jacket section.

Satisfied shopping we continued eating, green cafe became our choice. Because I was confused by the name of the food here, which was almost all in English, I handed the food order to Edo.

"W-uh! Edo, which toilet is next door? I'm kebelet!"

"Incess, get out of here turn to the right straight and hold the corner, well there's a toilet!"

"Okay, I'll go there first!" I quickly stepped in as Edo ordered.

***

Finally relieved as well, before coming out of the toilet I fixed a bit of my appearance. Out of the toilet, I stepped back to where Edo was but on the way I accidentally bumped into a middle-aged mother.

"Eh, sorry Mom. I didn't intentionally," I regretted helping the mother pick up some of her fallen paper bags.

"It's okay, I'm also wrong not to pay attention to the road." Reply, "thank you for helping me get my bag!" continued the middle-aged mother and our views met.

I was immediately shocked to see the middle-aged Mother who was in front of me, my body flinched backwards wordlessly I turned around and ran as far away from the middle-aged Mother as possible.

He felt like it was far away, I stopped running. My tears poured down my cheeks, my hands raised squeezing a painful chest. So hurt. Why must this hurt! Whyyy?!

Bukk! Bukk! Bukk!

I repeatedly hit my chest which still hurts, "no! Can't!"

I don't want to feel that pain anymore. I've had enough years of this heartache, enough is enough! Now I can't feel it anymore, can't!

"Hiksss... hiksss…"

Even when I was feeling this pain, I still mentioned him. He is the cause of this pain!

"Hikss…!"

The Flasback

That day, our family moved to Jakarta. The four of us sat in one car, I sat in the front with Papa while Mama sat in the back with Brother.

My eyes continued to wander around, sadness lingering in my mind. I was already comfortable living in Jogja but suddenly Eyang Kakung asked Papa to move to the city to continue his business.

During the trip I just stare at the streets. Every now and then my gaze turned towards the back, looking at Mama who was gently caressing the top of my sister's head. I want to feel it once, too, but Mama doesn't want to.

The question of why, why and why always looms over my mind. Why won't you hug me like you hug your sister? Why when eating Mama only want to feed Sister? Why is it that when I'm sick Mama doesn't want to take care of me? Why is it only my sister who is watching? I need the attention of my mom too.

I keep trying to think positively. Ah, maybe Mama will love me like Mama loves Sister. I kept believing that until that day…

For the first time Mama took me for a walk, I could not hide happiness from my eyes. Not only that, Mama also bought me a pretty pink dress, my favorite color! It turns out Mama loves me, she just knows my favorite color.

Because Mama just wanted to walk alone with me, Mama drove the car itself without a driver. Along the way I continued to sing my favorite song, my heart was very happy. After this I can tell you about the things I went through at school like my friends, I'll tell you everything!

Yea! My mom loves me too! My cheer in my heart.

The car stopped at a night market, Mama invited me to play all the rides there.

"Mama, Dy was happy to go out with Mama! Dy dear Mama!" I hugged my mother's stomach.

Mama replied by lightly patting my back. My embrace is getting tighter, I don't want this day to pass quickly. It could be, tomorrow Mama is acting cold again with me.

"Dy, hopefully yes, hug it. Now we buy sweet arum, right there!"

"What sweet wine is that, Ma? A toy?" I'm the one who really doesn't know that name.

"Don't you, that's the name of cotton candy."

My eyes sparkle," Dy, want Ma! Let's buy it!" I pulled Mama's hand impatiently.

After getting tired of exploring the market that night, Mama took me home. On the way I was sleepy and decided to sleep for a while.

"Ma, if it's up to Dy, huh?" my door to Mama.

Mama rubbed the top of my head fondly, "yes, I'll wake up."

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but it seems like a long time. I rubbed my eyes to make my vision clear again. After my eyes could see clearly, I circulated the surrounding gaze. My body immediately snapped when I found this room was not my room, looking next door. I don't want Mama, where's Mama?

"Mama! Mama! Where's mama? Dy afraid to be alone, Ma?"

I opened the door to the room and saw there were a lot of children around me, what is this place?

"Ma! Mama!" I shouted to Mom.

"Hey, Son! You're up, come here!" my gaze turned to a Mother who wore a long khimar.

I approached her, "Whose mother?"

The long-cherished mother grabbed my arm to get closer to her, "mother's name, Fatma. This mother is the caretaker of the home. Oh, yeah, what's your name?"

"Melody, Mom. Call me Dy!"

"Oh your name, Melody."

"Oh yeah, Dy wants to ask. I know Mama Dy, where is it? You see Dy called Mama didn't answer, answer."

"Mama? Melody still has Mama?"

I nodded, "yes, Dy last night was taken for a walk with Mama. But Dy is now confused, because Mama is not next to Dy, just as Dy woke up earlier. Do you know where Mama Dy is?"

I looked up to look at the mother of the parlour again and it was the ring that was the answer.

"Mom don't know where Mama Melody was, last night I found Melody lying on the doorstep of this home."

My cry instantly collapsed, "hikss... Where do you go? Hikss... Why did Mama leave Dy? Hicks... Mamaa…! Dy's going home! Mamaa... hiks…!"

"Cupp...Cupp..Cupp..Melody don't cry, if Melody wants to go home, I want Melody's antherin."

Hearing the words of the Mother of the parlour, I immediately wiped my tears quickly. "really? Do you want to take Dy home?"

The mother nodded, "yes, but I don't know Melody's home address?"

"Melody remembers, Mom! Let's go now!" I can't wait to pull that mother's hand out of the parlour.

When I got home, I immediately thanked the mother of the home.

"Thank you, Mom. Dy's anterin home, drugs!" my pamit while waving my hand and then entered my courtyard.

Entering the house I searched for Mama and finally I found Mama in the back garden. My mouth was about to call Mama, not so when I saw Mama talking to someone on the phone. If I disturb Mama who is calling, Mama will be angry, so I choose to remain silent. I better wait until Mama finishes calling.

For a long time I could hear Mama's conversation with the person on the phone, I sharpened my hearing as Mama discussed me in her chat.

"The matter of Melody is over. I took him out of my life and my family!"

"What heart? Why don't I have to, he's not my son!"

"Evil you say? Where am I with her mother? His mother he who started first, try it that Dara did not accept the same match Mas Sakti certainly will not happen! If he does not marry Sakti then I do not need to be his affair for many years. Fortunately Dara died and I have children, try not maybe Sakti will not want to fight his father just for my marriage!"

I smothered my mouth very strongly, I turned my body and ran as fast as I could. I don't want to live here anymore! Everything's evil!

Flasback OFF

From then on I changed everything including being a tomboyish girl and not a crybaby.
