Never Forget

Never Forget
Go Home


"Lad...." Shouted Milka and Domi. They came to pick up Dino. When they don't find Dino in bed. Turns out, Dino just got out of the bathroom to get ready. "Pope.." Milka hugging Dino made her shocked. He's not with Milka and Dino. He glanced at Naomi, "Hi! Milka, Domi. Finally I'll see you guys too." Sapanya, though somewhat kagok she tried to relax and ngeblend same children. "You came to pick up papa?" Ask. "So, let's go!" Her speech. He takes his cane and walks side by side with his two children while Naomi holds the baby Dawn and finally Dino back home.


"Bi Minah, nice to see aunt again." He said, where is my room? Is it still an old room?" Ask. "Still, Den." The answer gives relief. Dino walked around the house, every room he went to. He tried to remember what made Naomi remember. Every corner of the house just wants it on dad and Milka. He was sad when Ratih said that his father and brother had died.


"Is this house the place of our memories?" Ask Naomi directly. "I need to remember about us quickly." Answer again. "You don't have to hurry, just slow down. I'll help you. These are our pictures." Show Naomi. But none of those photos made him remember.


"You're the CEO of BI Group, and founder of Plofa group. Plofa group is a company that you built with Alvin your college friends while in the UK." Naomi explained little by little. "And then how I meet you? How can we date?" Ask Dino.


"We first met as children, we were once kidnapped and promised to be together when we grew up. When Junior High we met and dated. I'm after you desperately." Reply Naomi. "So, are we married? and 5 years later we are divided? What's the reason? it's because I'm cheating or something else? Sorry, Nom. I know, I should not ask you about this but I really want to know. I don't remember about us." Dino.


"No problem, nevermind. I know. We got married and divorced because of a misunderstanding. But everything is clear." Reply Naomi. Dino no longer needs to know about the past.


"Nom, I'm tired, I need a break. I'm ahead." Dino went into her room and changed into clothes. As she went out and sat on the bed, she was shocked to see Naomi there. "Nom, what are you doing here?" Ask.


"I'm your wife. So it's my bed." Naomi answered a little teasingly. "Ok, good night." Dino lay down on her back to Naomi. "Dino.." call Naomi.


"You don't have to put yourself in. We can create new memories with our families." Naomi then kissed Dino. "Nom, you just gave birth, we better keep our distance." He was anxious and curious about what had happened in the past. She felt Naomi was covering something from her. Dino began to run his day and adapt quickly including office affairs. After almost a month, he returned to the office and presided over a large meeting. In decision making he is still precise and thorough as before. At home, she helps Naomi take care of her three children and sometimes she cooks food for her family.


Suddenly, when he saw the huge fire his head immediately hurt. The memories swirled in his brain. "Why are you Din?"


"No! I saw the shadow of a little boy who had wounds like you, a teddy bear and fire." My head hurts. "Nom, I'm going to work for me first. You're the same kids eat first." As for him, he wants to be alone for a while.


"What might be my memories and Naomi's when we were kids, she said we were kidnapped together. Oh yeah, where's my agenda book?" Dino searches into each drawer and finds an obsolete diary. His own diary. He opened the diary, on the first page he wrote today I saw Naomi betray me. "Naomi betrayed me?" He read strands by strands. He also took the book to the office. Until finally he reached the last sheet he wrote about 3 months ago. This was the answer he wanted, what had happened all along.


Jakarta, April 2023.


In the end, I was at a crossroads between my mother and also my wife. That was the first sentence he wrote when he opened his notes. Today, om Togaya came and told me everything that my mother had done so far. Six years ago, when Naomi came in pregnant, Mom kicked her out of the house. He even advised Naomi to abort her content. Mama said that I don't want to see Naomi anymore. Seeing the state of Naomi, Om Togaya brings Naomi and all the remaining orphanage children to stay temporarily but mama tells people to expel them on behalf of Nino as her target. Not only that, my mother also lied to me by saying that Naomi had married Gilang and faked my divorce papers. My heart breaks hearing that, mama did all that consciously? Why can and how should I behave?

Jakarta, April 2023.


I fell into ruin, I found all the evidence. It turns out that it's true that mom did this not only that she paid people to fake my DNA and Domi's.


Jakarta, April 2023.


Naomi is missing, I know Samantha is the man behind this.


This is the last sentence he wrote, after reading it he began to feel dizzy. Those memories appeared in his head.


"Mom!" Shouted Dino. He finds Naomi and Gilang together.


"Nomi, miscarriage." Adam Say.


"Naomi will you marry me?" Her speech.


"Dino, I want us to get divorced. I want to end this relationship." Naomi's words blew Dino away.


"Domie, my son. I won't let anyone be called father by him other than me!"


Dino held her head, too many popping into her head and fainting near the exit. "Den Dino!" Shouted Bi Minah while Naomi was not home and was in a women's prison. He's meeting Santi.


"Santi, I came here because I wanted to say something. I have forgiven you. I don't want to be bound by any hatred between us." He said and delivered a bowl of Santi's favorite chicken noodles. "Then, Milka once said you like chicken noodles near the hospital. Milka once asked me to give you a birthday present." Santi cried lamenting over the noodles. "You shouldn't have saved me. So that I don't bear this shame.."


"You're so lucky, Dino loves you so much. That's why I'm so jealous of you. Dino loves you not only when you are beautiful when you are not yet this beautiful, she already likes you a lot. I remember back then, the time in Bandung after you guys had a fight and you broke off the relationship first out of anger. Dino sleeps hugging your picture."


Flashback moment, Bandung 2003


Dino falls asleep, holding a picture of Naomi in her hand. The photo was taken from a wallet on the sidelines that could not be found by anyone. She kept looking at the photo while Milka slept beside her. Over time he also fell asleep. Milka suddenly woke up and felt nauseous, probably because of the day she was on the move and lack of rest.


"Sister, Milka's nauseous." Milka said to Dino. "Milka wait a minute, I'll take you to the toilet. Slow down." Unaware of the photo falling and tucked under the sofa. She helped Milka, but her sister asked her to wait outside. He wanted to be independent, he didn't want to look so weak. He wants to be alone. "Sister wait, in front yeah."


While waiting for his sister, he realized his picture was missing. He hurriedly searched for the photo. He looked up the couch, the table and the surroundings but he could not find them. "Mas Dino looking for what? I help you." Said Santi, he had just arrived after helping to tidy up Milka's needs.


"I'm looking for a photo again. This photo is very important to me. I have to find him. Photo Naomi." His words were relaxed but like a sharp-edged sword to stab at Santi's heart. Santi pretended to help her search but she wished the photo was gone forever. While searching, Santi hugged Dino from behind making the man shocked.


"Suster Santi, what are you doing? Let go of me." Santi reluctantly let go and got closer. "Later out." Dino felt uncomfortable with the embrace of others. He accidentally pushes Santi until he almost falls lucky Dino can hold him. "Well, sister help Milka. Don't bother me." It was cold, as cold as a two-door refrigerator. But Santi's getting desperate. He hugged Dino and forced her. He wanted to kiss her, he did the same thing as Naomi when she was in Milka's room when she was doing the examination. Santi recalled that Naomi hugged Dino from the front and kissed her at first, but in the end they kissed long enough for Milka to arrive.


"Suster Santi is free! What did the sister do? Sister keep the self-esteem sister. I am a boy and a sister. Please! Stay away from me." Dino pushed Santi until he fell on the sofa. Santi gets crazy, he hugs Dino from behind making men really upset.


"Santi, loose! Don't test my patience. I'm not one to be patient enough about this." Dino is patient. But Naomi didn't budge, "Why should Naomi? What good is he?" Santi's words astonished Dino.


"Santi, you don't have to ask why Naomi. She was my girlfriend." Reply Dino, he did not care about Santi's words.


Santi is inexhaustible, "I'm better than Naomi. I heard everything Mas Reihan and Mas Dino talked about in the hospital. When Mas Dino is injured, his hand is injured by Naomi. Naomi cheated on Mas Dino, right? Mom, I'll never betray you." Dino immediately turned around, he hated the most people who liked to interfere and eavesdrop on his conversations with anyone. Santi starts to unbind her hair and wants to tease Dino.


"Stop!" Dino Assertive. "I don't think the sisters have any other job. Besides eavesdropping on people's conversations! Sister listen! All that could touch me was family and Milka. The only woman is Naomi, my boyfriend. I don't want to fight with Sister. Milka's out in a minute." Meanwhile, inside Milka heard everything. He also does not like if Sister Santi disturbs her brother and Naomi's relationship.


"Can I give you what Naomi gave me?" Reply Santi. "I've loved you since you first met. I'm sure Mas Dino is my soul mate." Dino refused to be touched. "Mas, Naomi it's just a ungrateful woman and a cheat! He doesn't deserve a mas!" He increasingly sees Naomi insulting who makes Dino's ears hot.


"Stop! The woman you were talking about was Naomi. The woman I love and like. Naomi did have an affair but that doesn't mean I have to repay her by having an affair with someone else and


I don't need anything from you. You better go." Dino.


"But Naomi said. Mas Dino never said love to Naomi's mother. That means Mas Dino doesn't love Naomi's mom." Santi is still pushing Dino.


"Santi, the love I have for Naomi you will never be able to understand. I've loved him for over 10 years. I don't always have to say love. But all I do is through action. And if to this day I'm still with her, she's still my girlfriend. That's because I want it. Need it. Even if I wanted to touch a woman right now. I want to touch a Naomi. Just Naomi. And need the sisters to know, Naomi is much better at everything." Said Dino firmly and piercingly. "Naomi will never do what Sister did, appreciate yourself because you are worth it. You'll meet the man who loves you, it's not me." Added. Dino finally found the photo. "She is a precious woman to me." Dino pointed at Naomi's photo.


"If the nurse still wants to be here, please take care of the Sister's attitude. Sister is here for Milka and not because of me. So do your job properly.and then, I hate people who like to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. " Requivocally again.


Before long, Milka came out and asked Dino to take her to the room. "Come on, Milka's big sister's holding her up." Her speech. " Sister thank you for accompanying Milka today."


"Good Brother. That's my brother." Milka. "You're nagging ya.." Brisque Dino.


Santi laughed remembering that. What a good Naomi she said again laughing. "Don't see me again."
