KINARA (Tresno Soko Kulino)
The S2 Part 29

Reno POV

...The Beginning of My Story...

Deciding on something that is not our desire is indeed the most difficult thing especially if it is related to the wishes of parents. most parents always decide everything for their child's life without ever thinking about their own feelings.

Since childhood I lived alone with my mother because my father worked outside the island and came home if the time of Lebaran even to the end of his life, I didn't meet him after nearly two years of our absence.My father died in a work accident, even though we were compensated by the company where my father worked, he said, but still it was only enough for the needs of both of us for a few years.

My mother still has to work to meet the needs of our lives.The compensation money we got at that time was half the mother gave to my grandmother who lived in the next village. my mother was an only child who also had no father since adolescence, according to the story of my mother and grandfather's grandmother died of severe illness.

My father was only two brothers who had also been orphaned since adolescence, only my father's family life was fairly well established despite living in the village. my late father and his older sister inherited it after both of their parents also died as teenagers.

Luckily my father's brother was such a good and wise man, that when my father was gone, he was the only one who helped our lives, even the compensation money from the company my father worked for, it was the young man who asked my mother to give half of it to my grandmother in the village.

After a few years of my father's death, my mother got a job in the city as a personal assistant to a wealthy conglomerate woman who owned many companies in convection, retail and stock.

My father's grandmother and sister Budeku_ allowed my mother to work outside the city even though they were hard to let us go. The house and land we had were also those who willingly took care of him even though we did not occupy.

Here was the beginning of my new life living with a new employer my mother turned out to work as a personal assistant employer and her daughter. every morning my mother took care of me and our employer's son and drove us to school. after that, he only joined his employer to work until the afternoon because when we came home from school there was an assistant on duty to pick up.

Kinara, the name of our employer's son, is a quiet and obedient child who is also friendly.Every day we spend time playing and learning together.

Several years mother worked as an assistant, there was a man best friend of our employer came to propose my mother to be made a wife.

At first she refused because of the age difference and also the status of my mother who is a widow. although my mother was older by a year but because of good will the man eventually made my mother melt with the approval of my bude and grandmother in the village.

After my mother remarried, we finally separated and my mother stopped working as an assistant to Mrs Amina. even Madam Amina gave a wedding gift to my mother in the form of a two-hectare plot of land to be made a business land.

From my extended father, I have two twin brothers Arkan and Dimas.my continued father also did not favoritism to us. he loved us equally even the presence of a father figure that I rarely get paid with his meek attitude and his protector to me and my sisters.

Until one day my father fell ill and had to be treated intensively for several years, that's where my role as a brother took care of my two younger siblings who were toddlers. I took the place of my mother taking care of Arkan and the little Dimas while my mother took care of my father in the hospital.

Until one morning Madam Amina came to the house with her husband and children and her assistants and office employees. I did not know if their arrival was a form of condolence for my father's departure because my mother was still in the hospital.

It was only after the arrival of the neighbors and mourners that my father's body arrived home. I could only go silent and cry tearlessly at that moment while holding down Arkan and Dimas who were crying from looking for a mother and father they hadn't seen in two weeks.

That day was truly a historic day in my life, losing my father figure for the second time and having to be a father figure for my two twin sisters.

After my father's departure, my mother really focused on taking care of the three of us and starting a new business helped by Madam Amina and her husband. my mother set up boarding houses for employees and students because of the strategic location of the land close to campuses, offices and large-scale companies.

My mother opened the boarding house at first only six doors even though Madam Amina suggested to make 20 doors at once. but the mother remained adamant with his stance so that the money from the boarding can be saved little by little to set up a cake shop that he had occupied since marrying the late father.

Two years after the boarding of the mother stood and went well, Madam Amina passed away, at that time Kinara and I were still in the third grade of Junior High School and were facing the final national exam.

Not only was my mother and I saddened by the passing of the kindest and most meritorious person in our lives, but my grandmother and my sister in the village were also shocked to hear the news of her death. because the deceased apparently often visited my grandmother and my sister without the knowledge of my mother and me, the deceased also often gave gifts to them during a visit. and what I just know is that Madame Amina helped the development in our village voluntarily.Mrs Amina also set up a cultural gallery for villagers to create and innovate with souvenirs typical of our village. until now the gallery is still running and has penetrated the business out of the country.whether who is responsible for the gallery until now and it is still a mystery.

After I entered High School, my mother gave me the mandate to take care of the costs that have been increased to ten doors and a minimalist two-story house is right in front of the boarding house and as the entrance and the guard post. mother does give strict rules to every boarding house residents not to bring guests through the security guard post and the house I occupy.

Even the mother made a special living room downstairs opposite the security guard post. wow. that was as firm as my mother but luckily none of the residents of the room felt burdened. because they are on average employees who go home at night and student students whose flight hours are also sometimes not certain.

The burden on my shoulders increased not only as a brother but also as a father to my two brothers. although one of them did not get along with me but I still love them without any difference.

Sometimes I think I want to also enjoy life like other friends, hang out and walk at will without having to be burdened with the affairs of parents.boro-boro free way, free way, my boyfriend doesn't even have one name that's been in my heart for a long time.I only have three friends, the four of us have been friends since we were in elementary school when I moved to the city. Beno, Fikar, and Aldo. The four of us have been known since SD to High School. because in addition to having different academic capabilities but we are still always compact and supportive of each other.

Going to third grade High School was a surprising thing and made me feel turned upside down when Kinara got married for an arranged marriage with one of our new gang members, Azka. our new best friend who in fact husband Kinara who since they were babies has been betrothed.ah the world was still the same.why is still the culture of arranged marriage especially this for minors. even though they were only eighteen years old wasn't that forbidden as well? rich people are free.

During their marriage, I and my three best friends also have a new duty to take care of them both. Azka and Kinara. At first I did not know what problems they were facing, but one time I had told my mother, from my mother I knew the real situation. it turns out that behind one's success there are also many twists and turns and complicated problems that they face. at that time I knew that Kinara had a twin sister named Keisya who had been missing since they were three years old.

Kinara who I considered always carefree turned out to keep the wound so deep. his stubbornness and sincerity made me even more amazed but still I could not be his man.
