A Light Fountain

Bathing birds

Assena raised her hand that was detached from her father's grasp, her thumb rubbing her father's cheek that had been soaked by tears.

"I've forgotten him dad, no matter how dad was in the past. The most important thing is in the present. And I can feel how you love me. How you tried to fix everything..." Assena said, seen a few drops of clear liquid coming out of both eyeballs. Then he put his head on his father's thigh. His eyes closed, finding comfort.

Arkan's hand gently rubbed Assena's hair. For almost 10 years he was never this close to his eldest daughter. Now recalling the spoiled memories of little Assena. How often he could carry Assena. Laugh together, play together. All of this is reflected back in Arkan's memory. Until the face that still shows the rest of the tears that have not dried up is now a faint smile. On the swab again long black hair belonging to Assena.

"Does that mean you've forgiven me?" Ask Arkan who is still gently stroking Assena's hair.

Assena lifted her face, looking at the father's face. Then he nodded slowly.

Arkan developed his smile. This is what he had been hoping for all this time. He stared at the eyes of Assena's two spheres, the same eyeballs as his mother's. Arkan could see that there was a shadow of Anna within Assena. As Assena looks more like Anna, the beautiful Assena inherits her mother's beauty.

Arkan still did not expect what happened today, he saw a change in his daughter.

Assena, who is about to turn 19 this year, looks more mature. At least at his age, he has changed his personality. He can learn to tell what happened in the past, he also learns to forgive.

Everyone has made mistakes. The most important thing is how they try to change and try to improve. Asena's thinking.

"So what do you want from me?" ask Assena.

"Dad's happy if you've forgiven me." Arkan smiles.

"That was my father's hope all along..."

"Can you ask for one more wish?" Arkan said paying close attention to Assena's face.

"Of course dad...What'sthat?" Assena smiled.

"Dad wants to see dad's kids get along and get along well...." Arkan gave a pause. Think back to what her little heart wanted.

As Assena raised both eyebrows, she waited for her continuation.

"And also. with your mother... Even though she's just you, but trust me she loves you so much.." Arkan looked at Assena's face, waiting to see how her eldest daughter reacted.

Assena took a moment to digest what her father said.

After that a smile was painted on her tiny lips.

"Of course dad. I'm going to have a good relationship with my sister Bella, with my mother of course." Those words were spoken so easily. This is the first time he has called Evelin his mother. Assena did not feel compelled in the least. Because he has really thrown it all away. He can also accept his half-sister Isabella as well as his mother Evelin added.

"The sun is hot, let's go inside Dad!" Invite Assena who now has a sweaty forehead.

Arkan also nodded in agreement, because it is undeniable that he also felt hot.

When Assena was about to push the wheelchair back into the house. Suddenly, Evelin approached them.

"Honey in the living room already has Mr. Jemmy and his family." Evelin said in a hurry.

"Jemmy here?" ask Arkan to make sure. Evelin nodded.

"All right, I'll see him." Reciprocity.

Evelin approached closer to take over pushing the wheelchair.

Assena pushed him, speeding in the footsteps of Evelin who preceded him.

Arriving in the living room, Jemmy, Iretta and Alvin were found.

"How are you? I'm sorry I just got to see you." I heard Jemmy start a conversation.

Then after that as usual greet each other and ask the news. Assena simply smiled in response to Jemmy and Iretta greeting her.

Assena who was still wearing her sleeping pajamas was uncomfortable because from the first day she entered the living room Alvin continued to look at her, Assena just threw away her face pretending not to see Alvin.

Then Assena said goodbye to go back to her room. After all he was lazy to linger seeing Alvin.

Somehow during the High School bench Assena was not so fond of Alvin. Although Alvin was one of the stars in high school, many in the girls. But little Assena is not like the Alvin fans.

Maybe because Alvin is notoriously arrogant and a lot of behavior that makes Assena not so like it. Or maybe because Alvin was always trying to get close to him? I don't know.

Assena climbed the stairs to her room. He opened the door of the room, and he saw that Yumna was still asleep. He went into the bathroom with no intention of waking Yumna up. I don't think he could wake her.

After the bath Assena told bi Nem to bring breakfast to Yumna, also he ordered a cup of hot chocolate.

After bi Nem brought breakfast and put it on the bedside table.

Assena went to the balcony with a cup of hot chocolate in her hand. Lately he often enjoys hot chocolate, and may be his new favorite. Because he thinks that cup of hot chocolate reminds him of something.

Assena was already standing on the balcony of her room. Putting the stairs over the balcony railing, and the other hand holding a cup of hot chocolate. His eyes looked straight ahead at the vastness of the bright blue sky that stretched. He enjoys the wind and the sunlight at the same time. Sometimes he sipped his hot chocolate.

Suddenly a whistling voice stole his attention. Assena was looking for where the whistling was headed.

He walked to the side of the balcony, and he looked down. Altur was bathing the bird in the left side yard of the house, with occasional whistling to tempt the bird.

Assena smiled at Altur. "Hey Altur's.." He shouted, so excitedly he called out to the young man.

Altur turned his head, raising his gaze in the direction where the voice of the call came from. He could see Assena from down there. He smiled to see the beautiful girl who was the son of his master.

"I'll be there." cried Assena again. It was as if there was some interest in seeing Altur bathe a bird.

Assena rushed out of the room, and went down to meet Altur. He also passed the back door because it was closer through the back door, also if through the front door he was lazy if he had to see Alvin.

With a step of spirit Assena approached Altur. He widened his smile. "May I try it?" pinta Assena on Altur to bathe birds.

"Of course..." Altur thrust the spray device filled with that water.

With enthusiasm Assena accepted. He cheerfully sprayed it on the bird in a cage made of teak wood painted with airbrush color.

Altur commented on the thin smile, he was so anxious to see that childish-looking Assena.
