Reaching Hope
Chapter 153 The End of Our Story

Juan and Andre soon found mommy at the place. They asked about Diandra. Mami said that Diandra stopped working because he had to return to Manado, because one of his family died. Of course they did not believe it and decided to find out for themselves.

☆☆☆

Clara told me everything that happened to Jhony when she got home. Clara cried sadly while telling stories.

"Then what should we do now? I'm sure Juan and Andre will be looking for Diandra,"

Jhony looks panicked too.

"We'd better go back to the village, Jhon. Sooner or later they'll know this place. We have to ask Sita for help right now" Clara said.

The two of them told their stories that Sita had never known before. The woman did not expect if all this time she accommodated the wife of a Juan Danuarta. After about an hour of storytelling they decided to immediately pack and leave from there.

"We say goodbye to Mi, thank you for being kind to us all this time. Please keep our secrets, Mi,"

The two hugged Mami Sita for the last time. Sadness cannot be covered by the look on their faces. The driver immediately put their belongings into the car. Their journey in the city seems to be over.

They stared at Mami Sita and her home for the last time. There are so many memories in this house that they can hardly forget. Slowly the car left the mansion. The journey was silent because they were silent and spoke occasionally.

"Jhon, what about Brother Dinda?" ask Clara.

"Just calm down, if the soul mate is not going anywhere," replied Jhony.

Then both of them went silent again.

Elsewhere, Juan and Andre begin to exert their power to find the woman named Diandra.

"Find out all the information about that girl named Diandra, I'll wait as soon as possible,"

Andre hung up. He looked at his best friend who began to lose his way back after meeting the woman who resembled his wife.

"Dre, I'm pretty sure the one I was with last night in that room was my wife Clara. The memory of him is deeply embedded in my memory, I can't possibly be wrong,"

Juan was still adamant about his stance. Andre can understand that because Diandra is very similar to Clara.

While chatting Andre's phone rang. It turned out his men were contacting.

"Hello, how?" ask Andre.

"The girl lives in a luxurious house owned by Sita's mother. This woman also has a boarding place for a night woman next to her luxury home. If the relationship with Mami Sita said limited to friends. I sent the address to you via a message, Boss,"

"Ok, thank you. Send it right away, yeah,"

Andre was waiting for a message from his men. After receiving his message he immediately took Juan to Sita's mother's place.

***

"Are you sure we're going to see you tonight?" ask Juan.

"Yes rather than curious. I also don't want to see you slump again" replied Andre.

Mami Sita received her guests kindly. It turned out that Clara's guess was right, her husband came looking for Diandra to his house. Mami Sita replied according to Dinda's essay to mami in their place of work. The two went home empty-handed and in deep disappointment.

Next day.

On a sunny morning, when everything was already breakfast they sat together in the living room.

"So why did you come home all of a sudden, son? All the stuff you brought, aren't you going back to town?" mrs Dina asked softly.

Clara kneels at the feet of her parents, apologizing for taking a shortcut to earn a lot of money quickly. He tells about his work, he also tells of his meeting with Juan back to make him decide to go back to the village.

His parents and Cindy are in shock and disbelief. They were very angry with Clara.

"Better father sick son, if you know the money you make is illegal money. Money like that will not be a blessing, it will wreak havoc" said Mr. Jarwo.

Clara's heart was hurt to hear it, but what Mr. Jarwo said was true. Clara could only apologize with tears in her eyes.

"Already sir, I'm sure he has no other choice. Maybe it's God's way of making him come to his senses and coming back to us. Mother was also very disappointed, but she was our daughter anyway. Do not let just because of his bad deeds we forget all his greater goodness" said Miss Dina.

Mr. Jarwo sighed harshly, his wife's words were indeed correct. If it wasn't for her being unable to support her family, her daughter wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself like this.

"I'm sorry, father too, this is also all the fault of the father who can not make you happy. This is a lesson for all of us so that in the future we do not act rashly" said Mr. Jarwo.

They hugged. Clara was glad they could forgive her even though at first everything was so angry with her.

"Welcome home, Clara. We will fight together to raise children" Cindy said.

"Thank you, sister," Clara hugged Cindy very tightly.

"What are your plans after this, son?" ask Dina ma'am.

"The plan is I want to open a business, ma'am. I'll be working with Jhony and Cindy's sister. We just need to find a suitable business idea in this place for us to develop. Hope everything goes well" replied Clara.

"Amin," all agree with Clara's words.

In the afternoon.

Clara, Jhony and Cindy are accompanying the children to play on the porch.

"I didn't think it would all end this way. All the hopes that we want to achieve by coming to the city are gone. It is not that our lives improve, it is precisely the suffering that we have so far," said Jhony.

"I also did not expect to be widowed at this young age. Hopefully I can survive to support the children" Cindy said.

"Man can only plan, but God has destiny. No matter how hard we try if He doesn't want it to happen, it will never happen" Clara said.

Everyone breathed in violently.

"We must be patient, we must be sure that God's destiny is beautiful for us. Every time rain falls, there will be a rainbow. Everyone will be happy, sooner or later" Clara said.

All of the memories are vividly reflected in their memories. From the beginning they head for the city, work in the factory, meet a mate, fall in the pit of sin, all spinning in their heads. They are grateful to be back where they came from. It is true a saying that says, as far as we go only the home of the parents is where we return.
