My Place To Go Home

My Place To Go Home
Chapter 46 baby photos


Flashbacks: flashback:


A huge fire scorched a house and its contents until it was not left. Even one of the family members of the owner of the house became a victim.


Only a five-year-old boy and a four-month-old baby girl survived the fire. Because his father saved him.


But the mother was not saved in the fire.


With the remnants of feelings drained from suffering. The father tried to support and care for his two children.


A month passed the man's health deteriorated. In the end, he died of heart disease.


Deep sorrow must be experienced by little Alvin. The five-year-old is now an orphan. Only her baby sister is the only family she has.


Having no other relatives, Alvin and his baby sister were forced to be sent to an orphanage because there was no one to take care of them.


Alvin was determined to always be with his sister but at that time the baby brother was immediately adopted by others.


Since then Alvin never again saw and knew the existence of his sister and himself who was also adopted by a married couple from Surabaya.


Just a picture of his baby brother became his last memory. Still well preserved until now.


...****************...


Alvin was still pondering as he looked at the photo of his brother's baby. The incident he saw yesterday really troubled his heart.


It is very desirable that he scraped the information directly from Love. And also proves that Love is his brother whom he has been looking for.


His head was too anxious to think about this. His heart felt bitter as he remembered the events of the past.


Luckily Alvin had been raised by adoptive parents who loved him very much. It even provides excellent facilities and education.


The love given slowly recovers her heart that was mourned for the loss of her family.


Both of his adoptive parents are willing to be left far away by Alvin to work while looking for his missing sibling.


Alvin stared at the photos of his adoptive parents on his nightstand. The photo was taken when Alvin graduated.


"I haven't seen you in a long time. I miss you" muttered Alvin.


Alvin wants to go home to Surabaya, but he still wants to know that Kasih is really his brother or not.


For that the first step he had to take was to consult with Arga. Because after all Arga was like family to him. Arga always helps Alvin.


"Sir, can we meet this afternoon if it's not busy? I have something to say" the message Alvin sent to Arga.


While Arga is currently having lunch with his father and Felicia. He did not feel comfortable at all because Felicia continued to show a good attitude in front of Wijaya. And her papa who began to be affected continues to urge Arga to return with Felicia.


Getting a message from Alvin got him an idea.


"We'll meet now. You're where? Hurry up and call me. I must avoid Papa and Felicia immediately." Arga replied to Alvin.


Alvin understood immediately. He called Arga immediately.


"Pa, sorry I had to pick up the phone. This is very important" said Arga.


Arga dodged the table and spoke to Alvin.


"What's up Vin? Where are you now?" ask Arga over his phone.


"I'm still in the apartment, sir" replied Alvin.


"Well, wait there I'll come to you" Arga hung up.


He walked over to Wijaya and Felicia.


"Pa, I'm sorry I had a sudden affair. So I had to leave immediately" Arga immediately shook his goodbye hand to her Papa. He did not look at Felicia at all.


He was so relieved that he was finally able to avoid the sycophant woman. Actually Arga was about to take care of her divorce but her papa kept asking Arga to think about it again. Felicia is too good in Wijaya's eyes because she doesn't know her foul deeds yet.


Arga himself has not had the heart to expose Felicia's disgrace because the health of his father is still unstable.


After driving for a while Arga arrived at Alvin's apartment. He immediately rang the doorbell.


Alvin immediately opened the door and invited Arga to enter.


Arga realizes Alvin's change. It seems like the man is really having trouble.


"What's up Vin? He said you want something to say?" asked Arga while sitting his body on the sofa.


"Look, this is about my brother sir?" alvin said as he served a bottle of cold drink to Arga's table.


"Why? Has she met?" ask Arga enthusiastically.


Alvin just looked down. He squeezed the bottle.


"Looks like Kasih is my brother" Alvin said.


"What's? How come?" Arga surprised.


Finally Alvin told me what he saw yesterday in detail. At first he hesitates but he believes that Arga will believe in him.


Then Alvin presented a photo of a baby with a back that has the exact same birthmark as Love's.


"Look sir, this birthmark is exactly the same as Love's?" Alvin showed me the photo.


"yes-yes.. Right, this is very similar" Arga was very surprised.


"And also my age difference with Love is the same as my brother" Alvin explained.


Arga was silent for a moment. He was trying to digest what Alvin explained.


"Alright, if that's your belief. I'll help you speak slowly to Kasih. Hopefully he will understand" Arga tries to help Alvin.


But it seems Alvin's anxiety has still not subsided. He is afraid that Love will not accept it.


Even so Alvin should still try to toughen up. Whatever the outcome, he will have to accept.


...****************...


Finally Arga tried to talk to Kasih, she explained slowly so that she would not be surprised.


"Love, may I ask you?" Arga opened the conversation.


"Byeah, why Mas?" answer Kasih.


"Before you were adopted by your adoptive parents did you know which orphanage to live in?"


"My dad said I was adopted because his friend who just took me from the orphanage died. So I don't know exactly where. Why mas?" Love becomes curious as to why Arga suddenly asks about her origin.


Arga reviewed a thin smile. Then the man grabbed Love's hand and held it tightly. This made Arga even more curious.


"I want to make sure, I want to know who you really are" Arga said.


Then Arga took out a photo of the baby given by Alvin. He gives to Love.


"Look, do you recognize it?"


Love took the photo and watched it.


"Mas, i-it.. Why is it like my picture when I was a kid. It's similar"


Love remembers something. He quickly pulled out his phone and searched for a photo he had posted on his social media.


Then put the photo aside.


"Love, it's a lot like your childhood photo." Arga was surprised to see it.


"And the birthmark on the baby's back is very similar to mine. Where did you get this photo from?" Kasih begins to believe that the photo is a portrait of himself who is still a baby.


"Alvin, this is the photo of Alvin's brother he's been looking for all this time"


Love was very surprised to hear Arga's explanation. Because all this time he never once thought about his siblings.


"Ja-so, is it possible that Alvin's my brother?"


Arga nodded as well. Love immediately hugged Arga, he did not know what to do. But her tears could no longer be broken. There is a feeling that is somehow hard to describe.


If it is true that Alvin is his brother, then Love will be very happy.
