A Friend from Malaysia

Still About Andini

"N-one Grocery, is a large retail company in Malaysia. The owner is Tengku Yahya Nirwan, your grandfather, your family. Papa himself doesn't know what made them have to do this to you. It's just that someone who gave you to us, said you were in a dangerous situation if you stayed with them. So you think this might have something to do with business competition. Big businesses usually have competitors with other companies. You know they sometimes justify everything to the point of harming family members of rival businessmen. So papa thought it would be nice if the situation was this way," the man explained.

Abraham Joseph, since finding Andini is always trying to find out about the origin of his adopted son. From his suspicion that the person who put the baby in his house was Abidin's uncle, he traced about the N-one Grocery where the old man worked which was from Abidin's confession, the shop belonged to his brother. From there Abraham got news about the disappearance of the grandson of the owner of the retail company. Abraham had the intention of wanting to confirm directly to the Nirwan family about Andini. But his parental egoism and fear of losing Andini made him think a thousand times to tell the child's biological family.

Andini stared at the piece of paper in her hand. He had thought that he was a child who was abandoned by his family and picked up by a couple of doctors who he knew all along that was his mother and father. But he said he was in danger of staying by his family's side. So what exactly happened?

Since knowing that fact from his father, Andini often find out for himself his past, who became his biological parents and even the house where he disappeared. Andini has also been to the Gunawan family home, and from the security gatekeeper housing, Andini knows that the Gunawan family has a daughter who is about his age. From there he often followed and watched secretly Yolanda.

Until the next year the information he was looking for himself finally led to the news that Yola would vacation in Kuala Lumpur. That he heard accidentally from the household assistant Gunawan family that coincidentally was huddled in the front yard of the big house. From there he also learned that Yolanda, who was the same age as himself, had been married early to a son from the Nirwan family, who he believed was his own biological brother.

Knowing that Yolanda was going to Kuala Lumpur with her in-laws, Andini begged Abraham Yusuf to allow her to take a vacation to Kuala Lumpur. When the Papa asks her what purpose she wants to go there while it is not a holiday, Andini honestly says she just wants to see her biological family from afar. Only that there is no other intention like admitting to the Nirwan family that he is their Andini who has been missing since infancy. The Papa and Mama finally reluctantly allowed Andini to go with one of their ART who had been taking care of Andini since childhood. After all in Kuala Lumpur he has a sibling who will be the destination Andini go and Andini has been there several times before.

Andini and her ART left on the same day as Yola. They followed him at the airport. And at the airport also Andini saw Zubaidah for the first time since he grew up, because Yola and her in-laws and Hafiz had promised to meet at the airport. The little girl could not reveal what was in her heart when she saw the woman, her birth mother. There was a strange feeling in his heart, envy, anger, and heartache but longing sometimes felt like wanting the woman, but sometimes turned again into hate mixed into one.

On the other hand his heart felt unfairly treated, unwilling when he saw Zubaidah treating Yolanda with affection, like his own daughter. He should be the one there, right? Why was he thrown out? Why aren't they looking for him anymore? If he really is in danger if he is with the Nirwan family, what about the girl.

But wait ... in addition to the girl named Yolanda, there was another fat boy who was about his age. The child seemed to be very spoiled for the woman who should be his biological mother. Is that his other brother? But they look the same age. Did her mother have any more children after she conceived? How sure they are, throw it away and forget it. Andini doesn't think.

They were in the same plane, Andini who was sitting a few seats behind them just watched them in silence. Yola and the fat man did not stop joking at each other during the trip. From their rants about PR, schoolwork, to talking about killer teachers and schoolmates, Andini finally finds out that they are schoolmates. And it can also be ascertained that he is a child in the Nirwan family from the way he called Zubaidah with the call of mama.

As soon as the plane took off, Andini continued to follow them to the Green House. Anyway his mission during Kuala Lumpur was nothing else and nothing was not stalking anything his biological family did to fulfill his curiosity and his father had no choice but to give permission and facilities it takes his daughter as long as she's in Kuala Lumpur.

Curiosity also makes him patiently wait for the family car Nirwan out of the housing complex and follow him to the shopping center in the petronas tower area.

Andini followed them again, initially the four of them. But then Zubaidah and the fat boy broke away and let Yolanda and Ilham just walk away together. In this case Andini felt disapproved of the attitude of her biological mother. It seems that Zubaidah really wants to encourage his son-in-law to be close to Ilham, the person who is certainly the brother of Andini. Miris once in the Nirwan family there is a tradition of marrying children as small as they are, even when the child is still in school. Here suddenly Andini felt lucky not to have been raised in the Nirwan family. Who knew if he was still with them, maybe they would get married early too?

Andini shuddered at the thought but continued to follow Yolanda. I don't know, he should have followed Zubaidah alone, but the charm of the girl named Yolanda attracted his attention more. He seems to be very much loved by all of the Nirwan family.

But wait .. Who is that woman? A woman of her brother's age Ilham suddenly came, greeting Ilham and Yolanda. Inspiration and the newly arrived girl seemed to know each other, oh no. They seemed to know each other more than well but also familiar. The three eventually walked into a coffee shop. And look at Yolanda's face, scowling like she didn't like the girl's presence. Is he jealous? Hahaha, that's funny! Andini laughed it off in her heart. The girl who was as small as him, already knew jealousy?Oh my God! Sumpe she didn't feel burdened by this early marriage?

Andini is still as small as Yolanda at that time, maybe they are only a few months different age, or one year different. Andini was class 1 Junior High, while Yolanda was class 6 Elementary School. So, Andini really knows if at their age, as puberty, the love for the opposite sex has begun to grow. But arranged? And Yolanda seemed to have jealousy in the closeness of her husband with other women, making Andini become amused by it. Husband, hahaha, that's so funny. Don't let him have it at this age.

Shortly afterwards, Andini noticed Yolanda who was walking out of the coffee shop with a tangled face. While Ilham, seemed eager to prevent Yolanda from leaving but the newly arrived woman prevented him. I don't know what he said until Ilham finally let Yola go. What an insensitive man.

Andini again and again followed Yolanda. While calling, the little girl went to the men's lingerie store where Zubaidah and Hafiz parted ways with them. Yola appears to ask the shopkeeper and eventually turns around limply as she does not find Zubaidah and Hafiz. He turned off his cell phone and searched for Zubaidah and Hafiz. Andini still followed him, this time closer than behind.

Yola seemed to be getting more agitated because she could not find Zubaidah and Hafiz anywhere. And he started to open his bag again and took his phone. At that time Andini's crazy idea arose. Spontaneous his brain told him to take the little girl's phone and bag. On that phone there must be a contact number from Zubaedah right? I don't know what it's for, but Andini thinks maybe he'll need it later. And the bag might have something interesting there later. Then in the count of three Andini did what he had never done before. Snatch!

Andini from behind immediately snatched away the phone clasped to Yola's ear. Same with the bag on his shoulder. Then he immediately ran as fast as he could. No matter what, the girl's screams called her a thief.

"Wait!!! The turning!! Yoyyy!! Help!!!" jeremy Yola.

Andini ignored him. He kept running. Every now and then he looked back, making sure the distance with Yola was still far away and he was safe from the reach of the girl. It's very risky what he did this time. I don't think what if he gets caught by the security mall team and handed over to the police while his mom and dad are not here. Ahh, Uncle Adnan, his brother Papa would be angry later if he came to Kuala Lumpur just to make trouble.

He's downstairs and yupp! Finally he managed to reach the door and out to the terrace of the mall and look back, Yola was still chasing after him. Strong as well as the girl, she was almost out of steam. Then Andini immediately hid behind a pillar, and once Yola was close, Andini stuck out her legs until the girl stumbled and fell on the floor of the mall terrace.

He looked over and was worried too. But no! Can be sure if he helps her later. If Yola would call security later. Then with guilt Andini also immediately headed to the parking lot where ART that he was not allowed to enter had been waiting in the car uncle Adnan.

"Oh my God, Neng Dini, where are you. Very long anyway?" asked Mbok Marni who had been breathing fireworks because she was worried that Andini was not out of the mall, while he was not allowed to come inside. He was afraid that his master's son was missing or had problems inside.

Andini did not answer. His heart is still beating unbecoming.

"Sir! We go home now to Uncle Adnan's house!" the door with a breath.

Dini immediately put the phone she snatched from Yola, into the girl's bag. While Mbok Marni did not dare to ask anything.

Exactly as he expected, inside the phone was Zubaidah's phone number, Ilham, as well as some photos of Yolanda and Nirwan's family that he kept for whatever purpose. His heart tried to deny that he also wanted his biological family in his life. So sometimes there is a time when Andini idly calls Zubaidah with a private number, hoping to hear directly the voice of the woman who has given birth to it as well as the woman who has thrown it away.

When Andini was in High School, she was still actively trying to find out about Yolanda and the Nirwan family. Not intense, just to get rid of the curiosity. At that time he was surprised to find Yolanda who was pregnant when she was at school and from a friend who also attended the same school as Yolanda, who was pregnant, Andini knew that Yolanda had problems in her marriage. Pity yes, but he was not sure he had a hand to feel sorry for his brother-in-law who never knew of his existence. Until finally the girl graduated High School and Andini is still in college in Jakarta, she can no longer find out anything about Yola and the Nirwan family. Yolanda then continued her education abroad. Andini also continued her studies in Jakarta.

Graduating from college, Andini decided to join the Papa who had long served in Penang, Malaysia, while the Mama remained in Indonesia. His curiosity in the Nirwan family was not over yet. The girl applied for a job at N-one Grocery to pry over the company's internal matters relating to the company's owner and his family. From there Andini knew, that his biological brother Tengku Ilham Nirwan who used to know to marry Yolanda was in front of the audience of his wife who was officially married was a woman named Sonia.

His investigation did not stop there when Andini overheard inadvertently a secret that was more important than Tengku Yahya Nirwan confidant named Uncle Abbas, if Yolanda and Ilham had separated because they had something to do with him, the son of the Nirwan family who had long disappeared. Reportedly someone used it, to get them divorced. Andini who felt ambiguous with it, felt the need to investigate it again. Until when she has time for leave, she leaves again for Kuala Lumpur and follows Ilham and Yola who are somehow unable to work in the family company owned by her ex-husband. And the mugging happened a second time with the intention of being able to get other info on Yolanda's bag and cell phone.

But something unexpected happened, after Andini returned to Penang and returned to work in N-one, apparently a coincidence happened again, Yolanda accidentally found herself in the mini market, and the, fortunately, he was able to escape that time. Fearing that her secret would be discovered, Andini immediately resigned from N-one. Until then, he decided to continue his master's education in Kuala Lumpur.

*Flashback Off*

Abidin looked at dr. Abraham. He had known for a long time that this doctor had returned to Penang. Several times he also found out about Andini, before he had this dementia. And for some reason today when he was at the Healthy World hospital, his memory suddenly returned to Andini and led him to come and see this heart specialist.

"Abidin Uncle?" Dr. Abraham again asked to make sure that the figure of the old man in front of him was indeed the man. Uncle Abidin.

"Andini, can you turn Andini over to us?" The old man's guilt for his late brother was never dashed, until he was unaware that his body naturally made some of his memories disappear due to senility. But suddenly he remembered everything.

"Sorry. What do you mean Uncle?" Dr. Abraham wanted to indirectly deny that he understood very well what this old man meant.

"Saye sent our Andini to the crew 24 years ago. You forgot to?"

Dr.Abraham. More and more stunned when he realized someone at the door had been listening to their conversation. That guy didn't lose his shock.

"An-dini? What does Datuk mean?"

Suddenly, Inspiration stood there. There was Yola and Makcik Aminah as well.
