...Episode 19's...
Tickets have been ordered by me and Dini Brother has cleared all the items that will be brought. Before I go home, all the servants that are there, I collect. I thank all those who have served me well.
One of the servants said, "Non, don't forget we're here.. Whenever you need us, we're ready to serve." Hearing those words, I felt sad to have to leave them here.
I nodded, and hugged them one by one, except for the men. After that I went out of the house, went to the park. The place I visit the most, the best painting place for me, the place to relieve stress.
Brother Dini hugged me and said, "Hani never feel lonely, nor sad. Brother still works for Hani, even though brother can not live with Hani anymore."
"Promise yes, brother. Don't stop working for me" I wrote.
"Surely, big brother will look after Hani anytime."
It felt so fast, but my journey was long. Dini and I went into the house, then we went into the room, had to rest quickly, because tomorrow at 7 we have to be at the airport.
I tried to close my eyes, but I didn't go to sleep. Something stuck in my mind, Mother I haven't met, now where I am, I really want to meet her. Dad strictly forbid I met my mother.
The words of my father who said that, mother will come and use me, are now meaningless to me. For me right now I just want to hug mom, even though she's using me for her career.
Tomorrow I have to go home, after that I will definitely not be able to meet my mother, because I am close next to my father. I imagined being able to paint with him, get direct direction from him.
That night, Kak Dini went into my room, called me and said someone was looking for her. She cried so much that she could meet me. I went out and saw him.
That person is the woman I thought was mom. After meeting her, the woman said, "I'm just a man, my family is threatened if the letter I'm carrying doesn't get into your hands." After giving a letter, the woman left.
Brother Dini immediately told me to enter the house, his face looks worried. We went in, sat in the living room, read the letter given to me. "Hani is mom, how are you doing in Japan? I'd love to meet Hani, the painting talent you have got from your mother. If Hani wants we can stay together and become a more famous painter. If Hani wants, can be lazy this letter to the address that I have listed, we live with the new family of the mother," the letter said.
I read it while shedding tears, restraining the explosive emotions. That night I really hated my mother. At first I didn't care if my mother used me for her career, but in the letter she already had a new family. Mother's sign betrayed father.
My mom and dad are not officially divorced, but I live with other guys. I tore the letter in front of Brother Dini, then ran while crying into the room.
Brother Dini approached me in the room, hugging me saying, "Sister right, already told me not to be sad anymore, the person who from the beginning was not in Hani's life did not deserve to make the child's pride brother cry, forget about your mother, I told you not to meet her let alone stay with her."
I nodded, asking Brother Dini to sleep with me. I feel lonely, want to go home quickly, stay with dad. My eyes are heavy, probably from crying too much. Me too, sound asleep.
The next day, all the servants were lined up, some of the servants were seen crying to see me and Kak Dini walked out of the house. I just told them to always take care of their health and keep the house. One time when I wanted to take a vacation, the first place I would visit was this house.
My personal driver was ready, the waiter started to bring the things I was going to bring home. Everyone got in the car. I opened the car window and waved to all of them.
The car began to run, when on the way I always looked at the road, saw a lot of big buildings. I feel like just yesterday I came, it doesn't feel like I've lived here for more than 6 years.
There is so much science that I got, this is where I forged all the knowledge, painting skills, and got achievements in the world of painting. There are some of my paintings that are deliberately exhibited but not for sale. Maybe those paintings will be my relics here.
When we arrived at the airport, while waiting for the flight schedule, I took the time to draw in the picture book. This time I drew Mount Fuji. I've been to that place once, its beautiful nature makes me want to paint it.
Waiting for 1 hour, finally the plane that I will be riding will leave soon. We went straight to the plane, all the requirements have been taken care of by Kak Dini. On the way, I looked only at the clouds at high altitude.
What a beautiful creation of God, seeing the beautiful sky, I wondered if I could not live like most people. Have a complete and harmonious family. I no longer care about possessions, for me the real price is family.
A loving family, a happy family. Once in my mind, Dad should get married again. Married a good woman, a woman who could accompany him, and replaced the mother figure in this family.
But, surely the father refused to marry again, because the father had assumed that all women are the same. I am a woman, but I am not like my mother. I'm afraid that someday when I can't accompany you, you'll feel lonely in your old age.
Ever since reading the letter from my mother, I wanted to prove to her that her career in painting was completely meaningless and I would go beyond it. It is true that the news of a mother who has dimmed her career in painting, but that is only in Indonesia.
While his career abroad is still very good, that's what Kak Dini said. Just a little more I can surpass Mom. Just look at the arrogant mother leaving her family for her achievements, will be destroyed by her own child.
Dini's sister who saw me always looked at the sky from the window said, "Hani... Brother Dini is getting married soon," Brother Dini sneered at me, saying as she stuck out her tongue.
