Retta walked up to mommy's desk and took a picture frame on it. He was shocked when he realized the boy was Vanno in childhood.
When he was watching the picture frame, suddenly a voice surprised him.
"What is Ta?" ask mommy while closing the door to her study.
Retta was surprised and immediately turned around. "This is Mom, sorry I just wanted to see this photo." Retta said while returning the picture frame to its original place.
Mommy walked over to Retta with a smile. "You're curious about the kid in the picture?" guess mommy.
Retta nodded timidly. Mommy smiles and immediately invites Retta to sit on the sofa bed by the window.
"The boy in the photo was Vanno at four years and two months old" mommy said as they sat comfortably. "And the daughter was Vinna, Vanno's sister when she was fourteen months old." continued mommy.
Retta was shocked for a moment. He had no idea that Vanno had a sister. For almost two months they married and lived together, never once did Vanno or mommy talk about his sister. Where's she? his inner.
Mommy noticed Retta's surprised and confused expression. Mommy took a deep breath before she started telling stories.
"Vina, Vanno's sister is dead Ta" said Mommy. Mommy was seen holding back her tears from falling.
Hearing mommy's words, Retta rounded her eyes. He really did not expect that Vanno's sister was dead. Retta immediately approached mommy and hugged her, trying to strengthen her heart.
After a while, Mommy looked calm. Retta immediately let go of her embrace and grabbed the drinking water that was on the table to give to mommy. Mommy gulped it in half.
Moments later, Mom was calmer. He seemed very trying to be able to smile in front of Retta.
"Ta, mommy will tell you about mommy's family past. You wanna listen?" ask mommy.
"First, mommy and daddy married because of an arranged marriage. At that time, Mommy was eighteen years old, just two months out of high school. While daddy still wants to be twenty years old, at that time it was still the fifth semester. Mommy and daddy only met twice before we got married."
"Our wedding went well. We who were previously only two foreigners who were forced to marry, over time became interdependent. We strive to complement each other, filling each other until love and fear of loss grow between us. In the second year of marriage, Vanno is present in our midst."
"We're very happy. At that time, daddy was also close to finishing his studies. During college, daddy also helped his father work in the company until his company has branches in almost every major city in Indonesia."
"After graduating from college, papa handed over one of his companies to daddy. For almost three years, the daddy company grew rapidly. In fact, at that time already had two subsidiary branches in Sumatra and Bali. Entering the fourth year, many daddy companies got a big tender. At that time, daddy needed a lot of help. He asked some of his best friends for help to hold some of the projects he won."
"At that time, Vanno's sister was only eight months old and Vanno was still about three and a half years old, his father father had an accident to die after being treated for several days in the hospital. The situation was very chaotic at that time. We're in mourning, suddenly papa's company goes bankrupt. Daddy was really confused as to how a stable company could go bankrupt in just a few weeks. Daddy hasn't been able to investigate that yet because Daddy's own company is also going through critical times."
Mommy paused for a moment to wipe away her tears that had been welling up in both of her eyes before continuing the story.
