Hold my hand, dear Forever
1. The Surprising Childhood

At that moment there was a little child who was being scolded by a middle-aged woman who looked very menor and luxurious.

" You are why Maria? Being told to do something like that just can't? Are you really spoiled or are you just pretending to be noticed by your father?" asked the woman, who was fixed sharply to the little boy who seemed to be crying bitterly.

" I'm really sick Mah. My head is so dizzy. Therefore, I accidentally dropped all the clothes so that the clothes that have been washed become dirty again!" said the 10-year-old girl named Maria.

" Alah reason you actually do not want to be told to wash by my mother? You slackers! You're also very spoiled!" said a little boy who was behind his mother who was on his waist in front of Mary.

" Denger to Maria! You have to wash all those clothes. Anyway I don't want to know any of your excuses! You should finish it in an hour. If it's not done, then I won't let you have lunch and dinner!" said the woman stared intently at Maria who began to sob and sob.

" Laundry is so much. How do I finish it in 1 hour Mah?" mary asked with a pale face and tears running down her face.

" Mah let's just leave him. If we continue here, he will add a lot of excuses and his cultural tears will trickle down more and more to make us waver, telling him to wash the clothes again!" said the little boy while looking intently at Maria.

" Love mary! Papa's coming home son! Maria where are you?" suddenly a man dressed in parlente came into the room and looked for Mary.

" Oh Maria Mama said you don't have to do laundry anymore! Just let the maid do it!" said the middle-aged woman as she approached Maria she stared intently at Maria while pinching her hard, making Maria grimace in pain.

" When you complain to your father, if I tell you to wash your clothes. You see, I'm gonna lock you in a barn for a month when your father goes out of this house again for out-of-town service!" threaten the woman who turned out to be Maria's stepmother.

" Yes Mah! Ii'm sorry. I promise that I will never tell my mother and Rossa anything that I did to my father!" said Maria while grimacing in pain.

" Have put your work down. Go there you meet your father and remember you have to put on a happy face so that your father does not suspect that I have told you to do this homework!" said Maria's stepmother while looking intently at Maria who immediately ran to see her father.

" father! Mary kangen! Can't you take Maria out of town and miss Dad so much that he was left here with Mama and Rossa!" mary said while embracing the body of the father who was much taller than her.

" But dad's there working every day baby. Dad's always busy. I won't have time to accompany you there! You'll be lonely living with dad because you're always in the office from morning to night if you go home just to sleep and rest!" zainal told Maria.

" It's okay Dad. Maria wants to stay with her father and live out of town. Maria will be a good child and will not disappoint you!" maria said with tears.

" Daddy always comes home once a month it's a pity to visit you who are here. Maria can play together with Rossa and accompanied by Mama Andin here. Maria wouldn't be lonely staying here because there are friends to play with! obey the same father, baby? Please Maria don't ask to come with dad to Jogjakarta. I just don't want Maria to be depressed living there because she's always left by me to work!" zainal tried to persuade his daughter.

" Mary is so spoiled and she always misses you! Every day I whine to ask me to call you and tell you to come home.I'm out of my mind to persuade her!" suddenly Andin was behind the two of them by putting his angel face in front of the husband.

" You can't be so Mary. Pity Mama Andin if you have to always bother to persuade you not to miss Dad when Dad was working out of town. After the new project is completed Dad will definitely return to Stay in Jakarta and we can live together again! You have to be patient waiting for those moments soon. The project is almost finished about 40% more towards the finish so Papa can be returned to Jakarta and back to the headquarters." said his father trying to persuade Maria not to whine anymore.

" It's Mary. Hurry up and go to your room and don't bother your father with your whining and your thrills. Your father must be tired after coming home from Jogjakarta and he needs a break now!" andin said as he pulled the hand of Maria who was hugging her father.

" But Mary still misses you!" mary tried to take her hand out of Andin's grasp.

" You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna lock you up in the barn. When your father leaves this house again!" andin said as he pinched Maria's hand until Maria grimaced in pain.

" Hurry up and you'll get into your room and don't bother your dad again!" andin whispered in the ear of Mary who was grimacing in pain.

" What's wrong, Andin?" zaenal asked his wife who seemed to be whispering to her daughter.

" It's okay, Mom. I just told Maria to go to her room and go get some rest. Her body is a little hot. So I can't bear to see he's short of rest!" andien said with a smile to Zainal who was surprised to hear his words.

" Is it true that you're sick Maria?" zainal asked worried about his daughter's situation.

" Mary just feels dizzy!" mary said, bowing her head.

Zaenal then approached his daughter and checked her temperature.

" Right baby! Oh God your body is very hot. Let's go to the hospital to check on you! I wasn't paying much attention when you hugged me. Forgive father Maria!" zainal said he was worried about his daughter.

" Just give the heat-lowering medication alone no need to go to any hospital!" andien said she was not happy to see her husband so attentive to Maria.
