Happy Ending's
Chapter 16: You Are Getting Beautiful

The sky is so bright today. Blush and accompanied by clouds that march to where the wind is about to blow. Quebec has entered the deciduous. The yellowing leaves began to fall slowly one after another and there, under the tree whose leaves had fallen into the wind were Clouds playing with his beloved white rabbit. 

"Not playing, Key?" James gave me a can of cold drink. I nodded and the man just smiled. We sat down on the stairs and looked at the clouds running to and fro with happy cries. His voice was like the sun up there. Gives light to darkness.

"Are you sure you don't want to go back to Indonesia, Key?" James started the conversation because we just kept quiet without a word.

"Are you expelling me, James?" My eyes glanced at him. Pretend angry. 

"Oh, not so darling. I'm just worried about your parents. They left with sadness."

Mama and papa are sad, disappointed, and angry at themselves. If they hadn't married me to Antonius, I wouldn't have run this far. I was still sitting on their lap and being the moons of mama's fuss.

After five years of not seeing each other, last month I told them that I was living in Canada through a letter I sent. I did not intentionally call them or tell them where I live. In the end, James told me to meet them. But I don't want to go back to Indonesia. I don't want to breathe the same air as the people who hurt me. I don't want to share oxygen with the people who have shown me. It was too painful and stifling the chest.

Mama and papa flew straight to Canada as soon as they found out my address. James called them that he was going to pick them up at the airport. 

"I'm sorry Mama, dear .. forgive Mama." Her crying broke while kneeling at my feet. "Ma ...." I couldn't speak my tears, I was pushing to get out. Wet cheeks. I bowed, hugging my mother with my right hand. We both let go of the longing that had been hidden.

"Mama misses you so much." His two thin hands caressed both of my cheeks. His face is not as bright as before. Her beauty is left over. Pale without any polish. His gray hair was left to him. He seemed to not care about his appearance anymore. My mom really turned into a grandmother. 

"Keyla too, Ma. Sorry Keyla yes, Ma."

"No dear. Mama and Papa were wrong. Yeah, right Pa? Look, Pa... This is our Keyla. Our only daughter. And these? The clouds? My grandson?" Mama immediately took the Clouds from my sling. He kissed his grandson whom he had longed for. The clouds were silent and he did not understand what was going on. However, she did not cry or refuse. I'm sure he must still remember the face of the oma and opa that I often show through a piece of photography.

"Look, Pa. Our grandkids." Papa who had been holding back haru finally hugged Mama and Clouds. Her tears that can no longer be blocked. "Sorry Keyla, Pa." I hugged them. The people I've been missing all this time. 

I saw James smiling at me. Her eyes that are beautiful imply happiness for me. Thank you James .. Thank you for everything you have given me. Thank you for meeting me with my mom and dad. Thank you for bringing Awan with oma and opa that he often mentioned in his daily life. Thank you for supporting me and loving an outcast like me.
