Behind All Changes

Chapter 64

After getting off the stage, Lidya went straight to the toilet.

In the toilet, Lidya glazed in a mirror attached to the wall that was located above the sink.

He remembered what happened a few years ago.

It was a farewell day during Junior High.

That day Lidya smiled very brightly by wearing a sky blue dress. With his green eyes at that time, some of his male friends kept his liking to him. But there were also some who scoffed at being envious of the green eyes that Lidya had, neither men nor women.

Lidya remembers that time when the process of taking pictures of children who excel with their parents. Only Lidhe was together without a father.

Some people seemed to be gossiping about it brightly in front of Ms. Leny.

"Look deh jeng, his father's period did not come during his son's graduation ceremony. His father was ashamed of his son. Explain that the child has eyes that are different from other children,"

"Yes, it's true jeng, surely his father was embarrassed because he had a child who had a disorder,"

"Yes, yes, the mother and father are not green eyeball color..do not let the child be changed?"

"It could be that, or it could be that his mother is cheating, right?"

"That's very possible, jeng. If I also would not like the same child cheating, the illegitimate child mending thrown away far away, rather than vilifying the name of the family."

"Betul jeng's. But actually I search he said eyeballs are a form of abnormality. He said that having an eye bole like that is a person who has a lot of diseases," (This is his mother just making it up)

"Then the jeng,"

"Yes, jeng. That is why I forbid my son to be close to the girl. I'm afraid my son will catch the disease,"

"Mom, is this just Lidya's feeling or is it the people who lament Lidya cynically?" Lidya asked somewhat confused by the gazes of the people.

"Just how you feel dear" replied Ms. Leny with a bright smile on her lips.

Coming home from graduation.

"Lidya, from now on if you want to go out, you have to wear this lens," said Ms. Leny while showing the softlens brown

"Why Ma'am?" Tanya Lidya was confused.

"Nothing, but I don't want people to scoff at you just because your eyeballs are different colors from others" Ms. Leny replied.

"Mothers don't have to worry, Lidya won't be affected by their words" Lidya said.

"Mom knows Lidya won't be affected. But I don't like it when I hear all the words they're telling you" said Ms. Leny.

"Mother take it easy, for Mother Lidya's sake will use these softlens when going out" promised Lidya.

Mom, is he my dad? Is that married man my father? What color did this eyeball derive from the man? Did my mother marry a married man like him? Is my perfect mother yours actually that kind of woman? If so, why can't I accept that fact? Hix...

Without feeling her tears just fall.
