MUTE
#13

...Episodes 13...

Actually, Novi used to be a very quiet child, since the attention of Bu Anika more to me, Novi may feel marginalized and envy arise against me. It was envy that probably made Novi hate me.

Since that incident, Ms. Anika has been paying more attention to me, there are always times when I am in trouble at school, defending and protecting when there are children who insult.

In this 6th grade I have received many awards and won a painting competition, my name began to be known. But I slightly objected to the news out there saying, *Mute kid who has amazing painting talent*. To me that sentence was a little painful even though it was a reality.

As the exam drew nearer, I began to focus on the lesson to be tested. Dad always says be number 1, so I will not be humbled. Long story short exam I passed and on the day of graduation announcement I got a general ranking.

That day was the most special day, Father, Grandma, Brother Dini, accompanied me to attend the event. Dad came forward, his tears were beginning to show, moved because his dear son had an extraordinary achievement.

In addition to academic achievements, I was named the most talented child in the field of painting. It was my prestige that got me a scholarship to continue school in a renowned Junior High School.

But, Dad has other plans. I'm not allowed to go to school at that Junior High, Dad will send me abroad. At a very young age, I had to part ways with Father and Grandma, slightly objected and felt it was not time for me to go far with the two of them.

Dad forced me to go abroad, apparently the focus is not on school, but on the treatment of damaged vocal cords. After studying it turned out that the mute I suffered was not a genetic disorder, but only damage to the vocal cords that might still be treatable.

Even though I went with Brother Dini, still I felt I could not be far from Father and Grandma. I said with a gesture, "Well, I want to go, but with Grandma."

He said, "Darling, Grandma is old, old Grandma."

After hearing Dad's words, I hugged Grandma. "Hani... has grown up definitely able to live independently, grandma wait at home huh?," said Grandma.

My heart is very sad, soon I have to be away from the person who has always been there for me, love me, and defend me. I will be sent to Japan, with the medical technology developed there maybe I can recover. But had it not healed I would have made achievements in that country, especially painting.

While I was spending my time at home with Grandma, Grandma whispered in my ear, "Your mother is there," Then Grandma smiled at me.

Not knowing what to say, the point after I heard that, I felt very excited to want to quickly leave. "Hus.. lest your father know yes," said Grandma.

I nodded, silent for a moment. "But, I must have missed Grandma so much there," I said with a gesture.

"There's this...." Grandma showed off HP, for me still. I'm right, want to hug Grandma, kiss Grandma, Grandma continued her words, "Halah Hani, don't be sad so, Grandma also be sad...."

I kissed Grandma and smiled. All files have Grandma prepared all, just stay passport. Your father who takes care of the passport later when it is finished Hani can immediately leave.

Dini replied, "Ready, Grandma. The science of karate Hani is also quite good, if there is a naughty directly banting aja haha...."

Before long Dad came to say, "Everything is ready, tomorrow morning Hani can go straight away, plane tickets have also been ordered, the residence there is also ready."

"Din, are you ready?" ask Grandma.

"Already Grandma, all the items that will be brought have been in all suitcases," said Kak Dini.

"Here baby...." He called me and told me to come closer.

I came straight up, Dad hugged me and kissed me, "Remember, there don't be naughty, eat regularly, and listen to all the Doctor's words, Dad can't keep you company, Dad's job is a lot. Later if there is free time, father and Grandma must come there," said Father.

I just nodded and hugged Dad. I had to go to bed early because the plane left at 07:00. At least, dawn has departed from home.

That night, something I forgot to bring. I looked for him and I put him in a suitcase. Mom's photo will be my lead there. I know you hate mom a lot, but for my sake the painting you never touched. Since there was a painting of my mother in my room, I rarely wanted to go into my room.

I began to fall asleep, that night I dreamed of the woman who wanted to kidnap me at that time, the woman was still calling my name. His call seemed to know me very well, his face was still not visible, the end of the sentence said that he was my real mother.

In the dream, he said as my mother, apologizing, for leaving me, he wanted to come back and live with me. The funny thing was that in the dream I could talk, I told the woman that I didn't want to stay with her and I couldn't believe that she was my mother.

The woman forced me to come with her, even I was lured to paint at will if I went with her. What amazes me is that she is often in my dreams, and every dream is similar.

I started to wake up and saw that there was a father next to me. I saw the face of my father, for me there is no one who can compete with him, compete to be a good old man.

I just want to meet my mom, not stay with her, let alone leave my dad to live with her. Father to me everything. I'll keep with him. If I could refuse not to go, I would immediately cancel my departure. Darling, I keep forcing me to leave no matter what.

I looked at Dad's face, saw his sleep very sound, but tears suddenly dripped and a voice came from his mouth, "Hani... Hani.. don't go with that bad woman...."

After hearing that I felt a little confused, why my dream was related to my dream. It's true that the woman who was going to kidnap me was my mother, but, it seems impossible, because my grandmother said, my mother was overseas.

I saw the clock still at 02:00 in the morning. It's too early to wake up. I went to the kitchen to get some drinking water, while I was drinking there was a sound coming from the warehouse that I used to paint every day, walking slowly towards the warehouse, he said, I was shocked when I saw what was in front of my eyes.
