Day after day, month after month, it did not feel like Dhyanda had gone through. Even high levels of tension and stress have been felt when the national exam SMA level two months ago. Now the girl is preparing to take the entrance test of public universities. May luck always be on him.
"There's something I want to talk to you about, sit down Dhy!" pinta Arumi after they spent dinner together as usual.
"What Mom? looks very serious" said Dhyanda finally sitting on the sofa in the middle room next to Arumi.
"You want Aunt Amira?"
Dhyanda frowned, "Amira's aunt's sister's mother right?" dhyanda Terka.
Arumi's mother nodded, "So she called my mother this afternoon, telling her that she had just made a restaurant business in the village where my mother was born. And he asked mom to help his business there. How do you think?"
"Mother want to go back to Sumedang?" Dhyanda can guess the meaning of Arumi's words.
Arumi took a breath of it for a moment before saying, "I don't know, Dhy. Mother confused. I can't leave you here by yourself, but even here I don't have a regular job. Just selling food online like this will not guarantee us what the future will look like" said Arumi pessimistic.
"The mother's savings from selling the house don't still exist? why not make another business capital?" tanya Dhyanda changed her sitting position to face Arumi.
"That's what you need to get into your college later, Dhy. Don't take kepake! although only 15 million but at least we have a simple and hopefully enough for the operational cost of your education if you qualify at PTN later. Next, I will work hard for the semester costs" said Ibu Arumi spirit.
Dhyanda was stunned and moved. The sincerity of Arumi's mother who loves her whole soul is heartbreaking. It is ironic that Arumi, who is completely blood-free but loves her so much, is willing to work hard for the sake of education and a life worthy of Dhyanda. While his family, even his own biological father had ten years more no news of not even looking for him at all.
"It's how we moved to Sumedang. I can continue my studies while working there, and I can help Bi Amira take care of the restaurant" said Dhyanda gave a solution but immediately broken Arumi.
"No, Son! I do not agree, anyway you have to go to college in Jakarta. I want you to be a successful and successful person" said Arumi while cupping both cheeks Dhyanda with her palm. "You're the only hope of motherhood. Please don't disappoint your mother!"
"But bu---"
"OK, I will try to find a loan for business capital in the market as before" said Arumi.
"That means I turned down Aunt Amara's offer?" ask Dhyanda doubtfully.
Arumi's mother simply nodded her smile giving her answer. But Dhyanda could catch there was turmoil on his mother's face. "How does your mom want? honestly, I'm Mom" she asked, convincing Arumi.
"Oh, let's talk about this later. I have to make sure you qualify first to go to public college" said Arumi.
Dhyanda kept silent. She was afraid to disappoint her mother. What if he does not get into PTN? During this time Dhyanda was not too excited to continue his education to the lecture level. He knows himself well with the financial condition of himself and Arumi so far. But it was precisely from the mother of Arumi who insisted that Dhyanda must continue education whatever the conditions.
While on a different continent, someone was having a serious conversation through his phone plane.
"Our company has a scholarship program for outstanding students, right? Take care of how he got a scholarship from us for the best private university in Jakarta. Later Lo stay in touch with the principal of the school" he said to the person he contacted.
-OK boss, carry it out
"Goody!" He ended his phone call.
"What other plans do you have, Bang?" ask the round-eyed beautiful woman who had eavesdropped on her conversation with someone on the phone.
"Aleena? when did you come?" someone who turned out Aldrick was so gasped, did not expect his sister was standing behind him earlier.
"I was curious about him. What's your lover like to be impressed so special?" aleena asked with a small laugh but was impressed.
Aldrick smiled a faint smile. He walked over to the wide window with no curtains. His gaze looked far away looking at the other skyscrapers out there. Long enough the man looked at her blankly.
"Finally, I had to make the decision to leave her to continue the relationship. Honestly, a tough decision, but it's inevitable. It's just that's the situation I had to go through at the time. Until I finally chose London and left the feeling that once existed in Jakarta, enjoying the relationship that I and he are living in now," said Aldrick still staring at the view behind the window of his study. Both palms are inserted into the pants pocket as is customary.
"And it's all because of Papa, right?" aleena said as she hugged Aldrick's body from behind. Leaning his head on his back without awkward. "Papa means maybe good, but sometimes we realize it too late" he said again.
Aldrick turned around, letting go of Aleena's pampered coiled hands on his body, "we're all grown up, keep your attitude, Aleena!" his reprimand that felt uncomfortable with the attitude of the sister who still often hugged and kissed him suddenly like his habit from childhood.
"Why?" aleena asked looking confused.
"Why did you say?" Aldrick asked, "that's why he can ruin your future. You're too innocent, Aleena"
Aleena fell silent, Aldrick's words slapped back on her to recall the events of four years ago.
When you lose hope, sometimes everything you do feels so empty, even useless injuries. Whether it's pleasure, luxury or anything you get, everything feels empty.
