Mistakes & Selfishness Behind Happiness
Chapter 23

**Travel**

The day of my departure arrived.

I should have left yesterday. But because the bus that was boarded broke down in Jogja. So you have to stay at the inn last night.

Actually, it's just common sense - father's will. I understand, maybe he still wants to meet that woman. I was tired of the behavior of the father, so I just agreed and pretended to believe the story of his essay.

No matter what you want, you are still in touch with that woman.

I also went in between by relatives. Before I deactivate my phone, to save battery because the trip I was going to take was very far.

I'd like to send a message to Afif and my friends.

📨 Me

I said yes, I left. Thank you for the happiness you have always given and your brother so far, for accompanying me and not leaving at my toughest time. It has been my strength to keep rising up until now. I am so grateful that God will bring us together, bring you into my life, make the color of my life so much more beautiful. I'm sorry that as long as we're together, I often let you down and get hurt. Take care and take good care of yourself. I love you so much, even now I miss you so much. I'm leaving, right?

wait for me to return with our love. Muach, sweet kiss from afar. Hehe.

Then I sent the same message to my three friends.

📨 Me

My best friend, I say yes ? I'm leaving today. Sorry to just give you news, can't wait to see you guys. Because yesterday was busy packing, I forgot to tell you that I left today. Sorry yes, sorry,

and thank you for accepting me, always there for me. You're my best friends. I am so grateful to have friends like you. Sorry if as long as I'm your best friend I'm a lot of trouble and trouble for you, sorry also if I'm wrong, wrong words that hurt you.

I will miss you guys very much. We will bring together and I keep it as a memory - the most beautiful memories. Thanks again. Don't be angry, will you? I'm sorry, I love you guys. Mmuah, kiss from afar, hehehe.

After I send a message, I turn off my phone. Then I close my eyes and enjoy the journey.

Goodbye my hometown, embah, temen - temen and my friends. May you always be healthy and happy. Afif, I will definitely be back. Suppose before I go I can see you mas. But if I was escorted by you, it would be hard for me to leave. But I'd love to see Dan and meet you, too. Hixes.

Wait for me to come back.

Traveling far away is exhausting. Not to mention I was drunk on a really bad trip. I only fell asleep along the journey occasionally awakened father to eat filling the stomach even though later spewed again.

After about 3 hours crossing the vast ocean, then still have to travel by land another day, then I arrived at my destination. This long journey was very tiring, sitting in the bus seat for a long time made my body feel all pain. It doesn't feel good.

After decades of traveling.

Finally I have arrived in front of the house that has been my mother and father.

There I have been welcomed symbok and other relatives. They welcomed me with great joy. Yes, because the last time I went to Lampung was when I was in 2nd grade SD.

I was greeted by my mother with joy and happiness. I immediately ran and hugged her tightly, crying out the longing that had tormented me all along.

My tiredness, dizziness and nausea disappeared instantly. I'm so happy that after so long, I met and was able to be together again with my mother.

" Mom's girl has grown this big apparently. Look at you now more than you. Sorry mom, son, must be heavy without mom? "

" So buk. Very heavy. I miss you so much."

" Mom is like that too. How are you doing sobah and the others?"

" Thank God be healthy all buk,"

" Thank God, you're so tired, are you sick? your face is pale."

" Duh kasian once mother girl, mother takein eat yes, eat first."

" Not hungry, "

" Yes, I've made an angel tea so you don't pale that way, sit here first yes,"

While waiting for my mother to make a warm tea, I chatted with Bude and other relatives.

" This tea is drunk first nduk, I'll get you a meal?"

" Don't open it, I'm not hungry yet, later if you're hungry."

" Your stomach is not filled. Eat a little."

" Yes, I'll just buk. Drink anget tea first."

" When you're hungry say yes?"

" Yes buk, "

" Oh yes, look at our hero, don't you want to carry him dear? "

mother led me to her room, pointing at the sleeping little angel. And that's very worrisome.

" I haven't had a bath, I took a shower. Sticky of my body. Smell too. "

I really want to run and kiss the little guy, but I have to clean up first. Not taking a shower yesterday must have smelled so bad.

" It's night, isn't it papa you took a shower at night? you're not cold, son? your body is also still lemes that way, later in the wind. "

" No papa buk. The shower is fresh. I also do not feel at home if my body is sticky where bauk again, later even can not sleep buk. "

" Yes, wait a minute, let my mother ready her warm water first huh? "

" Yes buk."

" Here's the towel, don't take it long, take the shower,"

" Yes buk, duh ibuk still remains the same yes, bavel.Hahaha,"

" That's already innate birth can't change.yes there's a bath hunt."

" yes, yes, buk."

After I finish cleaning. I went straight to my mother's room. Kiss the little guy's whole face. I didn't dare to hold her, afraid to disturb her deep sleep.

" Hello my hero, welcome to our little family, I'm your brother. You are very handsome, very funny. I'm gemes. Hopefully later you will be a good child sholeh good manners and manners, who is cool, our pride.Oh ya buk until forget it, whose name is buk, what is buk,? "

" Zidan Alifiandra's. "

" Good name, I call her Zidan's deck, huh? "

" Yes, it's up to you. "

I didn't sleep all night. I heard the story of my mother who could not tell me over the phone. For fear of making me think, and disrupting my school.
