Echoes In My Heart
Your Rights
During the trip, there was no conversation between the two of them because Alana was still a little annoyed with Echoes. Shortly after Gema and Alana arrived, they were warmly welcomed by Gema's mother. When entering the house, Alana received a message from Amalia who said she would return to visit at 7 pm. Bu Amalia asked if Gema had arrived in Bandung, and Alana answered that Gema had come home this morning and was now home.
After dinner together, Alana and Gema's mother begin a serious conversation that makes Gema suspicious of what happened during her time in Jogja.
“Bu, I'd better talk directly to Gema before Bu Amalia comes,” whispered Alana to mother Gema.
“You are the one who started talking to Gema, later Mother who continued,” replied mother Gema also in a whisper.
“What are you talking about again? Kok use whispers of everything,” said Gema while scrunched her forehead.
“Gema, there is an important thing that I want to talk to you,” said Alana started the conversation, she turned to Gema's mother for approval. Mother Gema nodded her head at Alana making the Echoes uncomfortable.
“What's Alana? From earlier you want to say serious things to me, are you going to leave me?” tanya Echo in a row because something was wrong and her mother was seen waiting for Alana to speak.
“What are you talking about anyway? That's not what I want to talk about. Actually two days ago, Papaku met his old client, we cooperated again after many years the factory was closed because the factory owner died. Now the factory rose and established cooperation again with the Papa factory. And the factory owner knows Mom and is looking for your whereabouts, right Bu?” alana. Echoes turned to his mother, he still did not understand the direction of this conversation.
“Iya Nak's. Gema, the current owner of the factory is Bu Amalia, the wife of the late Mr. Burhan. Owner of the yarn factory where your late father worked first. Since that incident, it turns out that Miss Amalia is looking for Mom and you. Indeed, from the first Mom to hide our existence, I no longer want to connect with others. Mother has always struggled alone to raise you, because I do not want people to see Mom out of pity,” said mother Gema with teary eyes.
“Iya Echoes understand Mom, then now what's the problem?”
“Gema, when Bu Amalia told me about your father, and he said that all this time he was looking for you and Mom. He had time to mention your name, until I convinced him if you really are the person he had been looking for. Then I brought her here and it turned out to be true, Miss Amalia and Mom know each other. Miss Amalia is happy to meet Mom, she will be back here at 7pm. He said there was something important that would be conveyed to you and Mom.” Alana exhaled a sigh of relief after speaking with Echoes.
“So they've been looking for us for years Mom? What the hell is it? Did you have a debt to them?”
“Looks like your dad never owed you a son. Mother also does not know what important things to say to us later. We'll just wait for them.”
The three of them were silent with each other, there was no more talk because they were busy with their own thoughts. Moreover, Ema who felt unsettled from earlier, he walked back and forth while waiting for the arrival of Bu Amalia. He is worried that something will happen that is not desirable because Amalia has long sought the existence of both of them.
Actually Alana already knows what things Bu Amalia wants to convey to Gema and her mother. But he understands his current position, he has no right to convey it first, he does not want to interfere in this business. He was only a medium to help Ms. Amalia meet with Gema and her mother.
“Bu Nani, is this true Echo?” asked Bu Amalia who was amazed by the figure of Gema whose face was so similar to Pak Arya.
“True Bu Amalia, this Echoes. Gema introduced this to Amalia and her son. It was mas Bagus and mbak Ayu his name,” said mother Gema.
“Include me Gema Bu,” said Echo politely but still enveloped with feelings of anxiety.
After getting acquainted and shaking hands with each other, they sat down together. Ibu Gema and Alana say goodbye to making drinks but are banned by Bu Amalia because they are only a short time and at 9 hours later they must have arrived at the airport to return to Jogja. Alana and Gema's mother sit down with them.
“So this is Bu Nani and Gema, I mean coming here because there is something very important that I have to convey to both of you. I have been looking for you from the past for the mandate of my late husband. And in a will he wrote, he said that Mr. Arya left a very large stake in the factory. And at that time I wanted to hand over the shares to Bu Nani, but I never found the whereabouts of Bu Nani. Until finally, two days ago when we came to Mr. Alex's factory and Mr. Alana's factory, we got a bright spot where you two were. And then Alana was happy to bring us here. I am so happy, fate brought us together so that I can restore the rights of both of you.” Bu Amalia breathed a sigh of relief, the heavy burden she had borne for decades finally came off as well.
Echo and her mother were surprised by Bu Amalia's explanation just now, they looked at each other in confusion. Is it true what they just heard? Is that really their right. Echoes are still in doubt, between being happy or not with it.
“Bu Amalia is it true what I said earlier?” ask mother Gema.
“Iya Bu Nani, I said the real one. Here I bring my husband's will along with the share delivery letter. Bu Nani and Gema just need to sign here, and we will transfer the money to your account,” said Bu Amalia while handing over some files that Gema and her mother have to sign.
Gema and her mother read the will and it is true that her father has a 30 percent stake in the factory. But he never told his mother. His mother did not need a lot of treasure from which their lives were fulfilled and happy in hard or happy. They both signed the letter.
“I still can't believe all this Mom, my husband turned out so good. He was still thinking about the future of both of us. But he never said that, maybe he hadn't had the chance to say it back then. I'm sorry to have made Ms. Amalia wait too long to meet us. Please forgive me Ma'am,” said Ibu Gema regretted her previous actions that closed herself to everyone.
“No problem Bu Nani, I have the right to make a decision at that time, it was the best decision. I also didn't know about this stock before, so Bu Nani wasn't worth the blame. Now that I am grateful, my burden is off now, I am relieved to finally be able to restore that right to you guys.”
“Bu Amalia, thank you for all this. We didn't really need that, but I still appreciate my dad. Sorry to have been a burden for Bu Amalia and her family so far” Gema who from earlier was just silent because he did not know the ins and outs of the real problem finally opened his voice.
“Iya Nak Echoes, it's okay. That's all I can say. We need to get back to Jogja soon. Thank you for welcoming us three.”
Bu Amalia and her two children said goodbye and immediately headed to the airport to continue the journey to Jogja. Shortly after Alana also said goodbye, Gema drove Alana to her home.
