“Why not tell us before coming? Why just come by yourself? Are you leaving us again?” said Maya crammed her daughter with various questions that make the beautiful woman confused about where to answer.
Maya's glittering eyes and unrelenting hands rubbed her arms and face, leaving Yonna moved. The living room is quite spacious with a variety of artificial flowers arranged neatly in an urn in several places to be where they miss.
Maya misses her daughter so much, and vice versa felt beautiful woman with lentic eyes. Being able to get together again with his family is the happiness he looks forward to the most.
Mr. Robert who was so happy was unable to say anything, he fell silent. His eyes still scanned Yonna's body from top to bottom, still unable to believe the woman he saw before him was now his daughter who had been away from him for the past five years.
“You haven't answered Mama's question, Alice!” urged Maya who never got an answer from her daughter.
“Ma, don't go straight to He with many questions. Let him rest first, Sister Yonna must still be tired!” Vano interrupts Maya's remarks, saving the older sister from questions she may be confused to answer.
Maya immediately turned her head to the young man sitting on the single sofa next to her. The curly-haired young man looked so relaxed, there was no look of surprise on his face seeing his big sister's drastic change.
“Yonna?”
Alice nodded, she understood the confusion of the mother. Alice rubbed the back of her Mama's arm gently.
“Starting today, Mama and Papa call me Yonna, because there is no more Alice in this house. There is only Kiyonna, I don't want to remember that name anymore,” Yonna said with a sad face. A ray of pain was clearly drawn in his eyes.
In the deadlock, Robert watched his daughter intensely, knowing many things she had hidden from him and his wife. Robert was also very well aware of the nature of his daughter, the woman would not open her mouth even if forced like anything. He will tell you if he wants to tell you himself.
"But why?" ask Maya to come back.
His forehead multiplied adding to the wrinkles on his old face.
“Ma, let your daughter rest first. You will ask again.” Robert opened his voice. She pulled Yonna's hand to sit next to her, and hugged her daughter affectionately.
“Whatever happens to you, Papa is sure you will make the best decision for you. But may this old man ask, please don't leave here again. Don't leave us, you've had enough of torturing us with yearning for these five years, dear!”
As if convinced that his daughter had only come for a moment made Robert put out that sentence. He was old enough to wait, like all the other parents. Robert just wants to spend his old age with his children and grandchildren.
Yonna broke her embrace off Robert. He looked at the wrinkled face. Every word that comes out of those old lips is a condition of meaning. It was as if he understood the contents of his heart that he had never told anyone.
“Papa know you want to hide it, but don't separate him from us. Bring him home here, we also want to know him, Papa please!” robert is back.
The crystal threads finally flowed on Yonna's white cheeks, her heart pinched listening to the man she had always been there for. He felt very guilty seeing the first love that had always been his pride was sad.
“That's not what I mean, he's still too small to carry on a long trip. That's why I left it there for a while until I came back.”
“Leaving a while until you get back? That means you're only coming back here for a moment? Would you like to leave us again!” it was Maya who made Yonna go silent.
Ducking in silence while wiping away tears. Even now he did not seem to have the courage to look at the two pairs of old eyes.
Vano let out a long sigh, the tense and haru atmosphere before him at this moment made him uneasy.
“Ma, B. Let Yonna rest first. Only after that do you continue this question!” reprimand the mature-skinned youth.
Yonna lifted her head, glancing at her sister as if to thank her, from behind the twinkle of her eyes that were still glazed over.
“Yes, what Vano said is true. Rest first, we'll talk about everything later!” Robert breathed his long breath. He looked at his silent wife.
“Ma, let's go to the supermarket for a minute. Papa wants to test whether Papa's cooking ability is still as good as it used to be!” robert said trying to break that awkwardness.
“Come!” Robert stands. He pulled his wife's hand to go with him without waiting for an answer from her mouth.
Yonna smiled faintly at the backs of the couple who started to walk away behind the front door.
“Why didn't you bring Noah? Don't tell me what Papa thinks is right. You will only be here for a while and back home to Germany!”
Yonna nodded slowly. “Vano, you understand what happened to me. How can I continue to live here. What if ...,”
“Until when will you hide? Until when will you leave your family! Don't run again, stay here!” press Vano to cut off his sister's speech.
All this time he kept silent and let the woman remain in that distant country only because her nephew was too small to take home. But now, there was no longer any reason for the woman before him to leave.
“I'll help you pick up Noah. What Papa said is true, you can't keep hiding him by separating him from his family. Noah also deserves to know his Grandpa and Grandma!” continued the handsome and sweet young man gave his opinion.
He was also quite surprised to see the arrival of his older sister alone in the absence of his son.
Yonna was fixated, there was no way for her to retreat.
“If indeed I have to return to live in this country, I beg your God .. don't make me meet him or anyone from that family!” inner Yonna asks. Although sometimes he knows, what he can never match what he wants.
Yonna returned to her room after a long conversation, her chest rippling at her room that had not changed a bit since she had left it. Scanning every corner of the room, until his eyes are now glued to the frame of a small figura that is above the nightstand, a photo that he has not had time to get rid of.
Yonna sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the picture frame and looked at it sadly. The picture of her who is still fat, is standing with a smile that is spread in a wedding dress. Her happy face was in stark contrast to the face of the man beside her that looked very sour and depressed.
“I just realized beauty in the beast not only exists in the world of fairy tales, but also in the real world. But sadly, I am that ugly bear. Who is happy without realizing if there will be no sincere love for someone who is not special!” Yonna grimaces to remember the past for her own naive stupidity.
