15 Years Adrift
S2 episode 2: El's Dad's
On the plane, Vino leaves his son briefly to go to the toilet.
"do you a minute.. Dad mules very"
"mmm.." El nodded with a smile.
Curious about the letter her grandmother gave her, she took it out of the envelope she had tucked in her sweater.
the letter consisted of several sheets of paper stapled together. He slowly opened the first sheet and read it.
From Mama to my dearest El.
Hi son..
when you read this letter, you are sure you have grown up to be a smart child.
mama sure you must look a lot like your father.Your eyes, your lips, your hair, even your chin all look like your father.
"no. I look like my mom.."
he murmured, and he continued reading again.
El, it's a secret letter, so make sure your dad doesn't read this, promise me Mama, can you?
mama does not know at what age you read this, which surely mama will convey all the wishes of mama here.if you do not understand what you will write this, mama will write this, then save it and read it again after you understand.
There must be a time when you will live in Indonesia son, there is quite warm and you must have many brothers there.
and mama wants to introduce you to one of your father's foster siblings.
her name is Kirana, your father calls her Ran more often.
Your father loved that woman named Kirana very much.Your father never forgot that beautiful woman even until the moment you were born, but it wasn't your father's fault, son, mama was wrong to have separated your father from his true love.
When you return to Indonesia, can you promise your mother?
if your father wants to find a new mother for you, make sure he's the one.
mama's gonna be mad at you if you let me marry a woman other than Kirana. Mama believes El's smart son,
so El definitely understood and could grant the request of mama. i love u dear.
kiss your mom in heaven..
El shed tears as he read the letter from his mother, longing for the embrace of his mother who never felt it. then El flipped the following sheet, the next, I found a picture of Nurul there.
"mother.." she nodded as if agreeing with the mother's request to make Kirana as her mother.
"El. I'm sorry old dad.."
El immediately closed the letter so as not to be read by Vino.
"secret letter from mom?"
ask Vino.
"yes, you can't read the tablets!" firmly El.
"hahah.yeah, son, I will respect your privacy" Vino gently rubbed the smart boy's head.
"oh yes..Tomorrow Keenan and Ica birthday, El want to come?"
"wahh. want to dong. El can't wait to meet Keenan in person. El will love El's favorite toy to Keenan" he said very enthusiastically.
Although never returned to Indonesia, from a long time ago, Vino often made a video call to his family so that El knew anyone his brother. it's just that Vino always asked them all to keep it a secret from Nurul.
he did not want if Nurul knew his life was very messy there.Nurul was not even told that Zey was dead. all he knows is that Vino is happy and well there with his new family.Vino also asks everyone to keep secret his return from Nurul.
he thought his presence back would only make Nurul look at his one eye because his life was very messy.
...~~~~...
Keenan and Disha's Birthday.
"bang.here..." Nurul waved his hand at Bian. Guests had started arriving this afternoon, relatives, friends to colleagues Dimas seemed to enliven this birthday event.
"jeez, baby you're so beautiful.."
Bian patted Nurul's head.
"who used to... Nurul is that..."
he flicked his hair while bragging, then laughed loosely.
"so I want to go quickly to bed." seduced Bian with his sweet smile.
"eheheh.patient yes, another year, watch that brother whine to another woman"
"i'm loyal to the deck, even I'm afraid you're whining"
"hahahha. yuk already entered, mama nanyain brother from earlier"
Nurul also took Bian into his house.
...-...
...-...
"The casino! why do you wear a mask?"
"tau nih, so much to avoid Nurul." added Dimas.
"hi El.. would you like to join Keenan?"
Dimas greeted his nephew.
"mau Om, El has brought this gift to Keenan"
Dimas also leads El to join with other children.
El was immediately flabbergasted when he saw Nurul who was singing a song with other children.
Keenan happy birthday...
Disha happy birthday...
Happy birthday to twins....
El immediately climbed the two steps in front of him and pulled Nurul's hand.
"mother.." call El with her innocent face.
everyone who was there turned towards them.
"yes..?" nurul said he could not bear to see El,
he thinks El mistakenly recognizes his mother.
during this time Nurul did not know the face of El, because his family compact promised to it to Vino.
"uncle do not hold the mother of El.." he brushed off the hand of Bian who took Nurul.
Realizing that, Vino immediately ran up to El. he immediately carried El and left from there.
"sorry yes." he said while avoiding Nurul's view.
"uh.yeah it's okay." said Nurul and Bian.
they stared at each other in wonder, because among the thousands of guests only Vino wore a mask and hat.
"El what's up, son? is El not afraid that his aunt will be angry?"
"she's not a aunt, she's Dad and El's mother."
el is a little upset.
"mother? El don't carelessly talk.
it can offend people, if people do not accept continue to be angry how?"
"mama said the mother of his people is good, so there is no way the mother is angry with El." it seems El did not realize that he slipped to talk.
"Vino. why do you carry El so, justin dong he played with his brother" whispered Rianti.
"iya Vin. You give dong El freedom, if you are afraid Nurul know. mending you wait in the car or go home all of you from the ngekang El rich so" said Duma also did not accept.
"but he ngawur ma. time call Ran mother.
Vino isn't ready to see Ran yet.."
"that's it, Mother Kirana is her name.."
chirp El again.
"El. don't haphazardly call people that, or dad will be angry with El" said Vino.
El nodded slowly with a sad look.
actually he did not have the heart to see the child so, but want how else.
Nurul continued to look towards Vino. he noticed Vino's back from a distance, of course he felt familiar with the back belonging to people who had never gone from his memory.
"El here is the same oma...
let me go home, about his head dad hurt" said Duma. El gladly agreed to his oma's request.
"tu Vin. meningan you go home from the rich minded minded so"
"iya ma. like her it's better so.
El.. father came home yes, do not be naughty and obedient said oma ya" Vin kissed El's head and then immediately moved.
When she turned around, she was shocked because Nurul was standing behind her.
"astaga..pardon me" Vino lowered his head and ran as fast as he could from there.
"i'm so strange." murmured Nurul.
"ma. aunt, in waiting for brother Fani there, cut the cake will be started" said Nurul, but his view focused on El.
"eh.. This is whose son is aunt?"
"El, you're asked the same aunt, try to answer El whose child?" The Duma deliberately let El answer.
"El his son father, and mother.." El pointed at Nurul with a smile.
