Gendis POV

...Maheswari Anggi...

...City : Kuncoro...

...Born: 19 August 1979...

...Died: 14 April 1999...

I looked at the tomb with tears, how could I not cry, there lay the woman who gave birth to me

Every time I looked at the gravestone, my chest felt tight. The pain and pain spread to all parts of my heart. The guilt of the loss that was clearly caused by me, made me hate everything that was on me, including my voice

"Mother, Gendis kangen!" I said softly, rubbing the tombstone of my mother

"Mother, today I graduated from school!" I looked up with teary eyes

"If Mother is still here, surely Mother is proud of the achievements that I achieved" Does not feel the clear circle of my netra began to fall

"Does Mommy remember, today's birthday gendis, exactly 18 years old!" I shed my tears

"Mother knows? Today is the day Gendis hates the most!" My lips are getting sobbing

How could I not hate my birthday, because right on the day I was born, I had to lose the person I loved the most. Even when I haven't had time to feel her delicate stroking

Eighteen years ago, right where I was born, the atmosphere that should have been blue from happiness turned into a day full of tears

"Had Mother not given birth to me, perhaps Mother could still smile to this day" My body trembled, My tears would have made the river, It felt so tight every time I said this

"Excuse Gendis, Mother" My body trembled more and more with tears

"Sorry!" It was always what I said when regret spread throughout my heart

Then someone gently grasped my hand, a grasp that momentarily calmed me

"Stop blaming yourself for mistakes you never made, Nda!" He said softly while rubbing the back of my hand

"El!" Calling me and then scattering his embrace, my body trembled with sobbing cries. He returned my embrace and rubbed my back gently

"Don't keep blaming yourself, Nda!" He said, as he continued to rub my back gently "All is the will of God, you must be sincere and patient!" He kept comforting me with his advice

I was sobbing more in his arms, it felt so comfortable because it could spill the tightness in my chest. Only he who always comforted me, with him was able to reduce the pain embedded in my heart

"Let's go home!" Take her after I let go of my embrace

"I still want to be here, El!" I'm "Just a minute!" My request is

"It's getting late, Grandma must be waiting for you!" Gently spoken

I nodded and said goodbye to my mother, she then held my hand out of the cemetery

He drove his motor matic with speed towards my house, I just stay alone with my grandmother. Because five years ago my grandfather caught up with my mother to face the Creator

On the way home, my mind floated at the time when I first met my best friend

The Flashback

POV Author

"Basic mute.... Fucking mute.... Basic mute" There were cries of some children mocking a girl with hair braided in two

"Heh mute boy! why are you in school here?" Ask a daughter in two, then encourage the child who shouted mute

"Where to answer, he's mute!" The other children's chirps, and the laughter of the children echoed in the first class room

The bullied child can only cry without a sound

"Hey don't bother him!" Shouted a boy with a puffed cheek from the door

They were silent and turned their eyes to look at the boy

"Who are you, how dare you pick up the mute from this ghost cave?" Ask the two-painted daughter

"Not answered, it's even deleted!" Said the little girl in two with annoyance

"It fits them both, the other one is dumb!" Tapping one of the students in the room and greeted the laughter of his friends

The boy then walked as he led the girl in two braids who was the victim of bullying to leave the class, regardless of the cries of students and students in the first class room

He brought the little girl in the school garden, they sat on the bench that had been prepared

"I'm Samuel!" Said the boy while extending his hand in front of the two-braided girl

The girl received the boy's hand and smiled, without saying a word

'Can't he talk, huh?' Samuel asked

"Are you able to read and write?" Samuel asked softly and was answered nodding by the girl

Samuel took the book and pencil out of his bag and gave it to the girl

"Write your name there, I can read it!" Pinta Samuel's

"Gendis" wrote the girl

"Oh Gendis" Samuel replied, nodding his head

The boy nodded, lucky that gendis had been taught CaLisTung (Reading writing and counting) by his grandmother since he was three years old

"My name is Samuel Gionino Peter!" Samuel said, "If your name is long?" Continue to ask

"Gendis Alamanda Maheswari" wrote Gendis

"Now I call you 'Manda'! And you can call me 'El'!" Samuel said with a smile

And only answered a nod by Gendis

"From now on we're friends!" Said El while filing his finger and greeted by a Manda or Gendis flick

"Why don't you go to class, son?" Said a female teacher

Samuel turned back and saw his mother standing behind him. Yes, the teacher was Mother Samuel

"Naughty friends, Mother!" Samuel said

"Snake why?" Ask Mother Samuel softly

"They're naughty with Sam, Mother!" Samuel said as he glanced at Gendis next to him. Samuel was familiarly called Sam by people, including his parents. But he asked to be called El by a friend next to him

"Who's your name, Beautiful?" Ask Mother Samuel while stroking Gendis' hair

Gendis then showed her writing to Mother Samuel

'Oh so this kid is so shy and can't talk to everyone!' Mother Samuel

Mother Samuel had previously been told by Gendis' grandmother when she enrolled Gendis in school

"This is my Mother, Nda!" Samuel said, "If at school you call Mom, if outside school you call Mommy!" Samuel continues to explain

Gendis nodded as a sign of understanding

Samuel's mother, Mary, was a teacher at the elementary school where Gendis and Samuel were to study, while Samuel's father was Antony. Samuel's father was the owner of the foundation

Gendis did not attend Negri Elementary School, but she was educated in private school by her grandmother, with the intention that Gendis could be given more attention by teachers, given Gendis's special condition
