MUTE
#17

...Episodes 17...

The laziest thing I do is take medicine, I get bored every day having to take medicine. This plus taking medicine that must be very bitter. "The name is also a medicine dear. yes bitter," said Father.

I finally couldn't dodge it anymore, took the medicine and then took it. It tastes really bitter. "It's a pinter father's son" said the father with a smile.

"Oiya dear, you will stay here until you graduate from High School" said Dad.

I just nodded, actually my heart was very sad to be away with family but, inevitably I had to obey with Dad. After taking the medicine, my eyes felt very heavy, sleepy instead of playing, before long I fell asleep.

Long story short, one week later, Dad and Grandma said goodbye, I couldn't get them both to the airport. Before father left many messages he delivered, the most important thing is that he said not to be close to the woman who claimed to be my mother.

Grandma said the same to Dad. They finally left, sister Dini felt very sad her lover had to leave her again. I pinched Dini's brother, saying motionlessly, "Pity is left, baby," I burst and ran into the room.

Kak Dini chasing and nagging not clear. Since that day I always obey what my father said, 2 years later I grew up to be a mature woman. Educated in addition to being a professional painter is also educated to be a person who is ready to lead many companies father.

I matured in many areas of office, maybe my father would make me the sole heir of all his companies. I have a hobby of painting sometimes not interested in the business world. But I don't want to have to help Dad.

That day I was painting, I don't know how many paintings I've done. My name is already very famous, maybe that's what made my mother start looking for my whereabouts.

I can say that my mother was looking for me, because that day a woman came to visit and said with Security that she was the mother of the owner of this house.

I happen to be having a vans meeting at one of the painting exhibitions. When I came home the woman was gone, the woman's security just left.

I who began to know the nature of my mother so bad, became very hateful to her. Kak Dini has told me a lot about mom, the mother I've been looking for was so cruel. Maybe when my grandmother told me about my mother, I was too small to care about her.

At that time, I just wanted to have a mother and meet her. Now that I have fully understood his true nature, let alone wanting to have a mother like him, just look at his face I am lazy.

Since then, I've been telling Security, "Just the woman who claims to be my mother. Even though I'm at home I don't want to see it."

Right at the age of 17, my dream of becoming a famous painter has been achieved, for me painting is my world. I paint not because of my career but because painting is my happiness and life.

Just like my family, they are all my life, except the woman who does not have that heart, my mother. Today I paint not about the beauty of nature, not about the beauty or good looks of a person, but painting a very creepy woman.

Is it possible to be called a mother if she leaves her child just because of her career, plus leave because of the shame of having a mute child. See this mute child has become a strong child, and does not give up.

Sometimes I see the news of many babies being dumped for reasons that are unclear, pregnant out of wedlock, innocent children being abandoned by irresponsible parents.

Sometimes there are parents who have the heart to kill their own children for economic reasons, maybe since I was born I was always fulfilled, but I can still feel the sadness as a child abandoned.

Instead I feel alive not because of what I have economically, but because of the affection of my father and grandmother. I believe that if my father was an unrich man, he would still give his affection to me.

One day I will create my own orphanage, accommodate abandoned children and give love that is not obtained from his parents.

This painting is finished, I told Brother Dini to frame and wrap it. Then it is given to security so that it will be given to the woman.

Dini's sister who always faithfully accompanied me, her age was increasing, it was time for her to marry. I once said to her, I've grown up not worrying about me anymore, and I told her to get married soon.

Her relationship with Andri's sister has been too long, just because the task given to take care of me, inhibit them to get married. Sis Dini only replied that she did not want to get married, but she did not want to get married, though I know Dini's sister is very eager to get married.

Which woman does not want to get married at her age. He is now almost 35. After I was forced to get married quickly, Dini finally said she would get married when I graduated from High School.

Sometimes when I was alone and saw so romantic brother Dini with brother Andri, remember Erik who once promised to see me again. I haven't heard from him for 12 years, the gift he gave me is still kept.

I miss going back home, visiting the parlors I used to visit and the parlors are also where I met Erik. Maybe after I graduate High School, my father will allow me to go home and settle in Indonesia.

As the day went on, the woman who said she was my mother came back, Security gave the painting away, and said never to come back.

The woman received the painting I gave her and then just left. I was just peeking in the window, it looks like a message was delivered to Security.

Sure enough after the woman had gone far, Security confronted her and told her that she was telling you, forgive your mother. I don't know why my tears came out, and I hated it so much.

But, hearing that message I felt very sad and felt very guilty. I know the purpose of his arrival was to ask for help, because his career was destroyed for the news about him who had left his son.

Since the news appeared, all the way of painting was closed, all the exhibits rejected his paintings, even he opened his own exhibition no one came.
