Young Master Liem
Chapter 60 Peace and invitation

Wan Siang did not know that Tini and her daughter would be coming that day. He himself was also surprised, but also happy that Tini visited him sooner than he expected.

Tini had been separated for a long time from Wan Siang whom she loved. When fate brings them together again, and she hears that the child she once cared for has eloped and is living apart with a large family, Tini's heart is touched and pityed.

She came not only as a former nanny. His maternal instinct was like wanting to give protection and affection to Wan Siang and his wife.

“It's a surprise and unexpected destiny,” Ny said. Liem as soon as Tini entered Wan Siang's house.

Time seemed to stop for a moment and play back the memories of the past between Tini and Ny. Liem's. Such arbitrary accusations and expulsions as just yesterday were experienced by Tini, thus making the woman's heart shake.

“Mrs Liem... glad to see you again,” said Tini with complete calm. Having become accustomed to being a great mistress in a tobacco plantation that oversees hundreds of farmers, etiquette as a graceful upper-class woman is already attached to Tini. Until he appeared full of confidence.

Tini wears a kebaya with a pink base color with white flower patterns, the jewelry is so beautiful, ranging from gifts, rings, bracelets and gold necklaces inlaid with sparkling white gems.

Mrs. Liem recalls his sin in the past, when accusing Tini of stealing jewelry. Now the woman he was accused of was wearing beautiful jewelry and many more that he did not wear in his home. Momentary Ny. Liem was amazed by Tini's appearance.

“Maybe I should call you Mrs Willem now. Unexpectedly we can meet again here,” said Mrs. Liem's.

“Yes, that's how I am now Madam. In honor of my late husband.”

“You must remember the previous events that were less pleasant among us.”

“Why should we keep thinking about the past? Better to think of the present, because in fact we only live in the present, the future is also uncertain.”

“But I need to straighten out our past, Mrs Willem. I'm sorry for accusing you of stealing my jewelry first. I used to be driven by envy, because you and my son are so close.”

“That event changed the course of my life, Madam. Were it not for that, I would not necessarily have met Mr. Willem and married him.”

“Didn't you feel vengeance for me?”

“Why keep something that prevents us from being happy, Madam? Revenge is like a thorn that pierces our feet, if we do not pull the thorn, of course our journey will not be smooth and comfortable. I have long since pulled out that thorn, and felt happiness with my new life.”

The words that come out of Tini's mouth are the fruit of the mind of a wise woman. As felt by the lady. Liem, after wiping out the grudges in the heart, his life was free from pain and filled with the blessings of happiness.

“You are indeed a good woman, Mrs Willem. Had Wan Siang continued in your upbringing, he would have never lost his life.”

“I see Wan Siang is now a great man. Of course his mother was also an extraordinary person.”

“I can only scold her, where can I be called an amazing mother?”

“The lady is angry for sure not because she hates.”

“Not for hate, just want him to be a great kid.”

“Although the way we are different in educating children, but in the end our intentions are the same, want the children to be a great figure. Only, different ways certainly have different consequences as well.”

“Eh... Mrs Willem, on this occasion, let us invite you and your family to attend the wedding of our second child, Sun Kwan. Precisely on the second Sunday of next month.”

“True Madam, I am the one getting married,” said Sun Kwan.

Tini moved her gaze to Sun Kwan. When Tini left, Sun Kwan was four years old and very funny.

“Sorry Madam, I do not remember.”

“It's great to see you again, Mrs Willem,” said Mr. Liem.

Tini is also very happy because she can still meet Mr. Liem in good health. He remembered the kindness of Mr. Liem to him. The man always asked Wan Siang's progress to him first. Never scolded him either.

“Mr Liem, I am grateful to still be given the chance to meet you again. Seeing the Liem family gathering with this kind of happy feeling, I was moved.”

Don't forget Tini introduced Elsa, the girl. Elsa is a sweet Dutch woman. Her body was tall, slim, fair-skinned and blond like her long-dead mother. When her mother died, Elsa was only 5 years old, so Mr. Willem needed a nanny for her. Two years later, his father married Tini. The girl is now 24 years old.

Pure-blooded Dutch people occupy the highest caste in the Dutch East Indies government order, so the natives and Chinese must certainly respect them. But despite realizing her position as a man of the highest caste, Elsa was not high-minded. Tini's upbringing made her grow into a kind and humble girl. Because Tini taught, indeed people who can be humble will get respect from others and not vice versa.

“My name is Elsa, nice to meet you all.” Elsa introduced herself graciously and graciously.

Everyone on that day was very happy, each thinking about the wisdom of their own life journey. Why should there be meetings and partings, and all the events that happen in between.

***

After everyone came home, Wan Siang and Si Manis talked for a while before going to bed at night. From that moment, Sweet smiled happily. He had never been so happy that day.

“Koh, if you do not meet Engkoh, there is no way I can be happy like today,” said the Sweetie.

“Padalaah you used to cry when I brought home,” said Wan Siang.

“Who is not afraid of Koh if taken home with an unknown person.”

“So right yes, do not know then do not love, even make crying children people.”

“I used to not know the nature of Engkoh, good or bad, then if it has been taken home, want to flap I also do not know.”

“So you used to think I'd be evil with you?”

“Place of thoughts, because Engkoh likes to get drunk. Drunk people like weird, who knows I will get hit...”.

Wan Siang did not end up thinking that the Sweetie ever thought that bad to him.

“I do like to fight first, but do not want to hit women. Not a real man his name if you dare to hit women.”

“Engkoh is a real man. Engkoh is also brave and decisive. No wonder his life is always successful. Now a businessman also successful.”

“Behind successful men, there are women who support and encourage it to be successful. Yes it is you, sweetie. But if it suits to be a bookie first, it's because I really like winning and hate losing. Because of Mama.”

“So it's true Mrs Tini said earlier. Mama Engkoh a little much also made Engkoh a great man.”

“Ya.. but if I become a parent, do not want to educate like Mama. Can keep pushing his child forward but with affection. You don't know my life used to be depressed because of Mama. But I've forgiven all of Mama's old attitude. Now better look ahead.”

“True Koh. Later we educate our children with affection ya.”

Wan Siang and the Sweetie take valuable lessons from their parents' lives, the bad past is not to be always mourned and regretted. But as a learning so that the next generation can live much better than the previous people. That way, the future will be much better than the past.
