10 Years after the incident Irene spent the night with an unknown man. He now lives with his children in America. Lives in a simple rented flat. Irene struggled hard to raise her only child. Just like when he was in Indonesia. Irene kept working hard. Any work he would do to support his little son. However, Irene Maxzella abstains from doing work related to her physical pawn.
Whatever life is. He will still look for halal coffers for his son.
Whatever we put in our body, will affect the quality of a person. Irene wanted to work hard as a sign of affection for her son. He wants his son to grow up thanks to the hard work of good things. Then his son will also grow into a child who works. He was trying to make Long An happy. Not to have a poor life like her.
Unbelievable, the Lord of the night has shown his might. The earth has been shrouded in the depths of the night. Night will witness the journey of an orphaned young woman struggling to raise her child. Now, a young woman named Irene is accompanying her sleeping son. In the room there are rows of trophies and awards on behalf of Long An. A cup in the sport of karate. The nickname Karateka Genius from the East was pinned on the 10-year-old little boy.
Irene, who saw it all, felt very proud to see her young son succeed. So far beyond him. A dream he never had. Can be obtained by his son. Irene was grateful, the life of her son was not like her who was hit by misfortune for misfortune.
Flashbacks
10 Years ago. Before Irene went to America.
“You sure? Going to America?” Ask a grandmother.
Grandma is among those who are. Her name is Grandma Heera. He was helped by Irene. So, Grandma Heera intended to repay Irene's kindness.
Irene nodded with confidence. Inside his arms, Long An's baby is seen sleeping soundly.
“I want this kid's life to be better compared to mine. I don't want to, he's suffering. If in America, maybe I can monitor his health because after all this child was born prematurely. I have to make sure he's okay. I will do anything for his happiness. So, please help me nek.” Irene said with teary eyes.
Grandma Heera nodded her head feeling sympathetic with the determination Irene had.
“Alright, I will help. My granddaughter is in America too. He'll help you. So, start a new sheet there with your son.”
Heard Grandma Heera's words. Irene was very happy. I don't feel her tears dripping down her cheeks. It turns out that in this world, there are still good people who care about him. Even though there is no blood relation.
“I will repay all your kindness.” Irene said with a sob.
Grandma Heera smiled and hugged the orphan girl whose fate was always hit by misfortune for the sake of misfortune.
End Flashback
Now, it doesn't feel like time has passed so quickly. Unstoppably. Without Irene realizing it, she had already lived in America for 10 years. His son has also achieved success that he never imagined. Irene, was stroking Long An's sleeping face. Staring lovingly. However, a second later the look on his face was shrouded in sadness. He remembered his conversation with Long An after the match. That his son wants to meet his father. Irene did not know what to say to her son. Not because I don't want to. But, because he himself did not know who the father of his son. Someone who caused her to conceive.
Irene only remembered, the man was a fair-skinned yellow. The smell of the perfume is very distinctive and different from others. The man had a dragon tattoo on his left arm. That's all Irene knew. Irene did not want to, Long An felt like a child born by an accident. I don't want my son to feel sad. He could only bow while holding the hand of his beloved son. Without realizing it, a tiny hand touched his cheek. Gently caress Irene's cheeks.
“Mama... was mama sad because of my wish earlier?” Long An asked feeling sad.
“Excuse An..” Continue Long An.
“Not...it's not like that An. You don't make mama sad.”
Long An immediately took off his mother's embrace. Stare deeply.
“Mama, don't think about An request. If you can't see Papa, it's okay. An was happy with my mom. Let's live together happily.” Long An said with a cheerful smile.
Shows his row of small teeth similar to cucumber seeds. A wide smile emanated from her adorable face. His cheeks look a little round. His slightly narrowed eyes increasingly looked narrow when smiling. Irene, who saw her son's smile, hugged back tightly.
“Good, let's live happily together.” Irene said as she hugged Long An.
“Hihi An dear mama.” Long An laughed widely.
Irene smiled at Long An's words.
“Mama loves you too An. Tonight, how about we sleep together hem..” Invite Irene.
Long An immediately smiled widely. Then the two lay down and slept together. Irene hugged Long An affectionately. Long An smiled widely and felt his mother's body so warm because of her mother's great affection for him. In Long An's heart, he promised to always be with his mother. He wants to make his mother happy.
Without feeling a thick night replaced with a morning that is so beautiful. Sunlight looks bright with white clouds. Decorate the beautiful sky with a broad blue color without borders.
“Osh!!” Shouted Long An at that time.
With other children who are the same age. And also older. Long An was training in a Dojo. Dojo is a place to practice karate. Osh is a word that is always spoken when practicing karate. Osh has the meaning of staying or being patient in pressure. This is a philosophy that should be owned, especially by everyone who practices martial arts, or humans in general. In addition, osh can also be used when giving respect to fellow karateka. Long An always uttered osh loudly and so firmly, because the word osh had a deep meaning. Especially spur ourselves to remain steadfast in the face of difficulties in training, as well as in daily life.
Not far from Long An who practices karate with his friends. Irene was sitting watching her son. Although still small but Irene never thought at all. That his son has such an amazing talent. Never even imagined in his mind.
Irene was watching Long An. A man with straight black hair. 165 Cm tall with mature brown skin typical of Southeast Asians. Walk towards Irene. He wore a karate outfit with a black belt around his stomach. The man was quite handsome with his tiny nose. He smiled as he approached Irene.
“Congratulations, Long An has won 100 matches without losing. That was so incredible. You must be proud to be his mother, the Karateka Genius of the East.”
Irene smiled back. He did not expect his son to achieve such a high performance. Achievements he could never have achieved when he was young.
“Thanks, this is all thanks to you Master Dareen.” Ledek Irene to the young man who had been sitting next to her.
“Hey... Hey.. I can't yet be called a Master. Don't thank me. Long An can be like this thanks to your hard work as a mother who has educated him. Also the guidance of the late Master Li who taught Long An. I just continued what Master Li had taught An.” Dareen replied.
“After all, I will still thank you. You always help me when I'm in trouble. I also thank your grandmother for giving me the opportunity to open a new page." Irene smiled looking at Dareen.
Irene's smile was so sweet and alluring. Making Dareen's heart suddenly shake. Dareen secretly harbored her love for Irene. Irene then looked back at Long An who was practicing the word. The word is the fighting movements that exist in karate. Long An was so serious about studying. His movements are getting more agile and agile. Every blow is so powerful. All the words in karate he had memorized were out of his head. Truly a genius child more than his age. But on the other hand, Irene who saw her son was so excited. Starting to worry a little, because Irene knew very well. Deep in his son's heart. Must have wanted to meet and see his real father. Irene could only sigh deeply and follow where the flowing water would take her.
