Paper Plane
Fair-heartedness


Daisha lay on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her body. However, he did not sleep at all. Occasionally his body moved uneasily until he stared at the ceiling of the room. Daisha was still unable to forget what had just happened. A reality that made his heart become raging.


How could? How come? And what about Rendi?


What other living riddle is this?


Every thought floated in his mind. For now he really cannot think clearly. The tightness that so hit his heart and his feelings made him unable to sleep at all, to close his eyes was too heavy.


After knowing about a big secret that has been stored so far, Daisha was only able to sigh in frustration. The confession her mother gave made her feelings worse. Daisha felt that this was all not true. Like such a sad nightmare. However, should he still feel sad after knowing the truth?


Dissolved into silence, suddenly the door to his room sounded someone knocking. Awaken Daisha from the daydream that so torments her inner self. He slightly flinched and spontaneously rose from his bed. Walk towards the door while grumbling. Mouth grumbling.


Without warning, he opened the door of his room. Daisha almost curses the person who interrupts her daydream if she does not hear a subtle voice greeting her. But instead of answering, Daisha was silent. His tongue suddenly fell. The shock caused him to die of lice. Nervous and scared. His heart was even beating too hard.


''Not sleeping yet?'' ask the figure in front of him with a tone so soft.


Daisha could only shake her head in response.


''You want to come with me upstairs? We can see the stars there.'' said the figure of the man in front of him.


And now Daisha nodded her head in a sign of approving the man's invitation.


Arriving at the roof top of his master's house, Daisha breathed a rough breath. He draws in oxygen that is depleted at night to fill his lungs. Looking at the night sky with thousands of stars.


''Daisha.'' the man said softly.


Daisha who felt called by her name turned to the source of the voice. He looked at the tough figure before him. Staring tightly at the radiance of his eyes and entering into the span of his hand, hugged the body so tightly.


Comfortable, feels very comfortable. For a moment he let the silence of the night warm his body which is now in the chest of the man's field.


''Whatever has happened, I will always love you.' said the man, gently stroking the top of Daisha's head.


Daisha further tightened her embrace on the man. So tight as if afraid of falling apart.


Long enough they both dissolve in a gap that so warms the sides of the soul that began to be fragile will the reality. A dry liver becomes wet.


''Promise me one more time, if you are the strongest woman I have ever met.'' said Rendi by embracing both chewy cheeks belonging to Daisha.


Daisha nods her head again and again, as if agreeing with whatever the figure of the man before her says. However, his memory suddenly drifted back to the event that had just happened earlier.


Both eyes of Daisha were wide when they heard what her mother had just said. Both hands belonging to Daisha suddenly trembled, even his throat felt choked.


His heart was suddenly agitated, his hands began to sweat, his body felt stiff, his tongue was suddenly confused. His world collapsed hearing what his mother had said.


Not only Daisha was surprised to hear a sentence spoken from Rahayu's mother's mouth. Everyone who was in that place was just as shocked as Daisha, except Aunt Maya. He slightly smiled his lips when he heard what Rahayu's mother had just said. Unable to deny Maya, knowing the truth will indeed be painful for Daisha, initially. However, it will be even more painful if Daisha later knows the truth from the mouths of others. Gradually, Daisha will definitely put on her chest and start accepting it. Aunt Maya's words in her heart.


''Dear Daisha, forgive father and mother for keeping this matter from you, son.'' said Rahayu's mother stammered. Tears could not be lifted and continued to flow soaked his face.


''What actually happened, Mom? Don't make Daisha afraid said Daisha who began to fret.


''If you feel uncomfortable, we can leave here first.'' said Rendi saw uneasiness on the face of ayu belonging to Rahayu's mother. And all nodded their heads as if agreeing to what Rendi had just said.


''No! You guys just stay here. You also have the right to know the truth.'' Rahayu's mother.


''Alright, if mother feels our presence is not burdensome.'' replied Rendi.


''Yes, son Rendi.''


With a deep breath, Daisha's mother began to tell her the true events. Daisha's mother takes everyone who is in that place back across the passage of time to the events that took place several decades ago.


''About twenty-five years ago, was the year in which the late father and mother met for the first time. In a refugee barracks in the village where a natural disaster occurred. At that time the mother was assigned by the hospital to help the victims there. At that time, your father was a handsome young man with a noble heart who was willing to give some of his property to the victims in the refugee camp. Long story short, because of the intensity we often met, we fell in love with each other. However, due to a different 'state' your father's parents did not approve of our relationship at that time.'' Rahayu's mother paused back her speech. He also regained his breath. Really remembering and digging up memories then, it hurt his little heart. Re-opening her life story twenty-five years ago.


''Because of the power of our love which is very large and maybe also because of our high ego at that time, your father willingly abandoned his family's big name and chose to marry his mother in the village where the mother came from.'' regret Rahayu's mother with a facial expression that implies deep sadness.


Daisha clasped her mother's hand again, which began to feel cold. Without any intention of interrupting what his mother wanted to say. Wrinkled streaks were drawn on the woman's hand, a sign that there was already a lot of live salt acid she had been through.


''Repeatedly we came begging and prostrating to receive the blessing of Lord Atmaja, but our struggle seemed to be in vain. Until the end of his death, Mr. Atmaja still did not approve of the love between your father and mother.''


''Wait first! I have something to straighten out here!'' said aunt Maya cut off Rahayu's mother's speech. Everyone turned to look at Aunt Maya.


''You are wrong, ma'am. The actual incident is not entirely like that said Aunt Maya.
