Dara stared at the canvas cloth that already had some graffiti, but did not have the right object. Andara immediately asked Tia to send the painting to an address in Indonesia. Now, he was a little confused by the new painting that did not yet have the object.
Slip against a beach with no objects. He wanted to include the silhouette of a living creature in his painting. His smile was so big that he remembered someone. Perhaps depicting the joy will make the painting more lifeless. He missed a few people in his heart.
Andara is still in Venice and will be back tonight. He continued to apply his brush using the shadow he wanted to convey through the painting. A quiet room with a light that peeked shyly from the window of the hotel room where he was staying. In his ear was earphones playing his favorite song. Only through painting he does not need to talk much, but his feelings can be conveyed.
In different rooms but the same roof.
The light pierced through the glass, highlighting the figure of a child who had a different temperament from a child his age.
Iris eyes like an ocean that can drown. Highlight sharp with firm jaws and sand-colored hair, it illustrates its resemblance to the mother who also has physical characteristics like her.
Has a high level of intelligence, along with easy connections in the can.
He only knows if he is not alone. In a place he didn't know, he still had someone he had to look after. Although without being told what kind of person he was in, he was sure that one day his struggle would not be in vain.
"Young master, big master is waiting in his study" said a bodyguard who is always there wherever he is.
"hm"
The bodyguard understood, he opened the door, waiting for his little master to pick up his cell phone. He continued to follow the small steps of the young master towards the leader's room.
"you are too long" said the 40-year-old with an expressionless face.
"sorry."
"Stop looking, I don't want school and your work to be interrupted." the man looked at another man who was different age away from him.
"hmm." retort the little creature without sin.
PRANGS.
He was very angry, the little boy never listened to him.
The glass shards from the glass he threw earlier, a little about the feet of the little boy who was only wearing house slippers.
The adult man stepped closer, holding his head against the jaw of the small face in front of him.
"Stop it or I'll eliminate it."
They stared at each other sharply without anyone willing to budge, they had the same skin color that is pale white. The same hard nature makes them like a betel on the two sides. One was an adult male who was famous for his cruelty, while the other was a 10-year-old who never showed a smile on his lips.
The clutches of the hand slipped off with the wall that was the target of his fist. The sound of growling made the room even more gripping.
"out!"
Without saying a word, the little boy left the room like nothing had ever happened. The bodyguard who was waiting for him outside did not ask much, he only asked if his master would have lunch now or in the room as usual.
The master did not answer and simply walked into his room. This hotel has become a home for them because the owner of the hotel is the master. Before long the young master came out with his shoes on and brought his laptop.he did not ask much and just followed.
In the elevator leading to the lobby, there were only the two of them inside. Until a young girl entered in a hurry, the girl showed off her smile when she reached the elevator. Although he did not get a response from the two, the smile on the lips of the girl did not fade because of the attitude of the two.
The bodyguard noticed the girl in front of him, who was right standing beside his young master. They look contrasting with different skin colors, the girl carries a paperbag, with a very cheerful appearance. Unlike his master who was filled with untouchable cold. Until the elevator light suddenly died and the cry of a girl filled the elevator.
With a spigot the bodyguard turned on the flashlight on his phone. The young girl sat curled up against the elevator wall. But there was something even more shocking that made his eyes round. His young master was crouching in front of the girl.
He immediately called the security to overcome the elevator that suddenly jammed while watching the young master who was sitting next to the girl.
The sound of crying filled the elevator. He used to live alone in an apartment, but he never liked the dark. However, the atmosphere of the narrow and dark space reminded him of the narrow space in the closet.
There was a small hand rubbing his hand that was hugging his own knee. The hand continued to gently rub out channeling calmness. Andara raised her face, tears streaming down her cheeks and a faint frown on her forehead. Sweat dripped, his eyes staring fearfully at the elevator room, which contained only the light from one's cell phone.
He reflexively closed both his ears, closing both his eyes tightly. His mouth was like he was mashing something.
The little boy who had noticed Andara knew that the girl was in a panic. With that intelligence he knew how to overcome someone who was hit by panic. The calmness was clearly drawn on his face. That little voice fills your hearing.
"Calm down, aren't I here too?" That resolute yet calm voice distracted Andara.
Andara looked even though with a scared facial expression, she nodded towards the little boy beside her.
"Now try to hold my hand and breathe well."
Andara said he lowered the hand that covered his ear, then quickly grasped the little boy's hand.
"Good, now breathe slowly."
Instead of breathing Andara even sobbed, the hand grip tightened.
Unknowingly Andara immediately hugged the little boy beside her and cried while calling Nanta's name.
After 10 minutes Andara had calmed down enough she let go of the hug but her body was still shaking violently.
"Hey, are you Asian?" ask the boy to try to shift your focus.
Andara just nodded
"I like the color of your skin, it's like my Mommy." because I felt like I was getting the focus of the girl next to him, he continued to tell stories.
"She's beautiful like you." The boy turned his head towards Andara and looked at the girl's face with a calm expression.
"His skin is the typical yellow of Asians, and his hair is long with the color of sand like me, his eyes are blue like my eyes." The boy spoke while glaring at the thought of someone's face.
"he's Asian?" Andara asked, which made the boy slightly lift his lips, and he succeeded.
"Hem, he's Indonesian-American."
"Oh, are you on vacation here?"
"No, I live here."
Before you can respond, the elevator opens forcefully from the outside. They stood up and could breathe freely. Andara rubbed her wet cheek and took the paperbag that had fallen. They came out, Andara thanked the boy, who was only in response to a nod.
Andara immediately paid off because she had an appointment to meet with Nattalie before they returned to their respective countries. As it passed Andara turned around to say her name.
The boy pecked after hearing the name Andara. It was the name of the person he had been looking for all this time, but it was probably just the same coincidence. Although in his heart there was a slight tremor, but he no longer thought about it and passed away while reassuring his heart if it might just be a coincidence of the same name.
.........
Andara had already arrived at the cafe where they had made their appointment there Nattalie was waiting.
"Sorry Natt, I'm late."
"No problem, you."
They chatted, until your phone suddenly rang.
"hallo."
"what? it's serious." The look on Andara's face showed a panic that made Nattalie stand up worried.
"what's wrong Andara?"
"I have to go, now." Andara immediately apologized to Nattalie. ran out directly to the hotel, with tears that had soaked her cheeks.
Andara immediately called Tia to help her change the flight schedule. He should be returning to Indonesia soon. His feet ran over some people who passed by there. His heart is beating fast.
.........
After 1 hour he was at the airport with Ma'am Tia. Her tears were no longer flowing, but she was silent. Mbak Tia continues to rub your back, in order to stay calm. Their journey takes hours. While in other places the little girl is not necessarily able to survive until Andara arrived.
He had already contacted Saka to pick her up later. Because it's night here, obviously he will arrive in Indonesia maybe tomorrow morning. Nanta is returning to Bandung, to his parents' house. He reasoned that he missed going home. Though he wants to settle the affairs of the matchmaking before Andara knows it.
At the hotel the little young master was surfing on his laptop looking for information about the girl he met earlier. However, he still has to ensure the slightest possibility. Although not much he got, but the same birth year, with the figure he had been looking for made him have a chance.
Her tiny hand clasped tightly, her heart pounding strongly. Why did they happen to meet if he was the same person. Recalling the cry of the girl earlier, made her feel a little strange, because she usually did not care about the people around her. He would just go to school, go practice martial arts, and learn to focus his mind.
He stood up to the table by the bed, opened the drawer and took a picture of it. A photo of a woman holding a 1-year-old girl.
at the touch of the face slowly in the photo that is none other than her Mommy who is carrying her brother. The little girl was her brother who disappeared 16 years ago. Mommy told him before going to protect his brother from his Daddy. Complicated problems that are behind misunderstandings.
His eyes shone with determination, his little face displaying earnestness. If one day they meet. He will take care of it with his own life.
Mommy can't meet her brother to protect him indirectly. Even he survives being on that man's side as well for the sake of his Mommy.
.......
As soon as Andara immediately called Saka, she waited anxiously. Until it is seen in the distance the motorbike he knows belongs to Saka. Dara asks Tia to bring her suitcase home, later she will take it after her business is finished.
Once in front of him, he went straight up to Saka's bike and used the Helmets given by Saka. They passed leaving Mbak Tia who was also worried.
"Ka, kind of a sneak dong."
"Lo didn't see this stuck," said Nanta a little upset because Dara asked him to pick up early in the morning to go to the hospital. He did not understand why but he obviously complied.
"Uda nyelip yuk."
"Can't youara, Lo can't see that the police guard at Deket red light.if it gets a ticket even the length of his business," explained Saka while continuing to pay attention to the restless face of Andara through his rearview mirror.
"Find another way."
Saka complied and turned around, passing another road to the hospital where Andara used to be treated.
They just kept quiet afterwards, Andara did not want to disturb Saka's concentration. He also did not want to add to the bad mood of Saka.
During the trip Saka also tried to guess why Andara rushed to the hospital? until he remembered one thing. Yes this must be related to Alin!
He drove his bike faster, tucking in between other vehicles. Dara tightened his grip on Saka's waist, when he realized that Saka was increasing the speed of his motorbike.
After arriving, Andara immediately went down without waiting for Saka, he took off his helmet quickly. Saka was a little upset that earlier even Andara almost fell tripping on her own feet, running quickly towards Alin's room.
You are glued to the smile of the little girl in the room. He slowly stepped his feet while trying to put a smile on his face. He sat next to the little girl, who looked unconscious but smiled at his father.
"Honey there is Brother Andara," said the father when he saw the presence of Andara.
"sister." though he did not make a sound but Andara understood. He nodded with a small hand that could no longer respond to his grasp. Andara rubbed Alin's head slowly, who already had no more hair. Her tears dripped, her heart ached at Alin's helpless state"
"Alin misses sister."
"Sister is also very long with Alin." for not making a sound, Andara should pay more attention to the movements of Alin's mouth.
"Alin is leaving" said Alin with a smile.
Youara no longer has the power to hold his stuff. He shook his head but Alin even pouted.
"Alin wants to see mom, brother don't be sad."
Everyone in the room was holding back, Doctor, Nurse and Alin's father had already resigned. This was the end of Alin's hard struggle. Maybe this is indeed the best for Alin, who is no longer able to respond to touch, even the infusion needle can no longer enter his veins. His body had already refused because it might no longer be able to survive.
Saka who just arrived in the room immediately hugged Andara from behind. Strengthen and give whispers to keep Andara calm.
"Alin is Mian, brother." Andara immediately nodded and smiled. reassured Alin if she would definitely take care of the girl's beloved cat.
Before long his smile faded.His eyes were closed. Youara panicked, the doctor who had noticed immediately immediately immediately alert check the state of Alin. The doctor looked at Alin's father with a face that had explained everything.
"at 08:45 AM the patient is pronounced dead"
Dara cries in Saka's arms. Saka rubbed Andara's back which shook from crying sobbing. The tight grip on her shirt came off, Andara fainted which immediately got a response from Saka. He took Andara to the ward with the nurse following behind him. I don't know if it's the first time he's met Alin, but anyway he's ever made a song for him.
Her heart was also filled with pain but relief, because the little girl had been relieved of her pain. He slightly ran towards the ward, with Andara in his cradle. Although his face showed calmness but actually he was also a little worried. Because Andara who must be exhausted in addition to this incident, must make his body drop.
Staring bitterly while continuing to rub your head dear, he will always be at the side of this girl.Has tightly grasped her hand so that she is strong. In the kisses of Andara's hands that have been attached infusion. He promised not to let you cry alone.
He did not contact Nanta because they had not improved. Just let Nanta not know, let him feel sorry for not knowing anything. Ah Saka so smiled to imagine the annoyed face of Nanta later when you know Andara in the hospital.
