ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD
THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
"Dad... It's all done... Are you gonna start telling me?" Ask Endro carefully. He stood in front of his father who was sitting on a wooden chair of his home's main room that looked simple.
"Sit down..." The Father's orders allowed his face to point to the other wooden chair in front of him at that time.
Endro.
The father thrust a few photos towards Endro. "This is all I have..." Endro.
"He's your mother, End. The woman that I love so much, and loves you so sincerely. He never looked at anything from Dad, except the love and sincerity that Dad had for your mother.
Meanwhile, your mother was the son of a rich and respected man.
Our marriage was not sanctioned by your grandmother, the mother's mother's mother. But, Papa your mother blesses us. That's why we got married in the end.
Your mother was a good person and always kept her simple. He never felt awkward, despite living with a difficult man like Dad.
A year of the marriage of Father and Mother, you were present in our midst. And that makes me and my mom happier.
Until, one day, it arrived...
*****
Flashback to the story of Endro's father.
A young woman was breastfeeding a tiny baby in her yard. A house that looks small, clean and cool.
Only, the atmosphere that emanated on his face was so cold at that time.
The bimonthly baby was so calm in his arms. No matter how she felt at the time, she still made her baby feel at ease.
"Pregnant..."Calling lirih. The man she called was right behind the wall she was sitting on. There, kamil leaned with a soft look.
He didn't say. He kept giving the woman a chance to talk.
"Can't I see your father one last time? Why did you choose to go alone?" Finally the man made his voice. He protested against his wife's decision.
The woman stood up from her seat, she stepped inside the house and placed her little baby on the wooden couch of the house room, after her tiny baby had fallen asleep and was full.
Slowly, he approached the man he called Kamil. He grabbed Kamil's hand, and grasped it tightly.
"After all, the one who died was my Papa. I have to see it. But I'm not sure I'll be able to come back here. You know, Mama doesn't like our marriage... Mama will do everything she can to keep us apart, Kamil. Moreover, Papa is gone..." It seems to ask for understanding.
"Your mother can accept us. Don't we have Endro?" His eyes were reddened, tracing the brownish bead in his wife's eyes. Ask for more understanding from him. And pleaded with cueing.
"I'm not sure that. You should know, I did it for Endro. If I am no longer allowed to return, then please take care of our son. I just believe you. Don't let Mama take Endro. Mama never knew, did she? That we already have Endro. Our son deserves to be with you, Kamil." She continued to persuade Kamil, her husband.
"alright... I'll take care of our Endro. Give my regards to your family, and I'm sorry to Papa." Kamil surrendered.
"I'm leaving..." The woman hugged Kamil.
Long they drift in feelings that kill their hearts.
"Take care of our son, our Endron..." Returned master. He let go of his embrace, and immediately grabbed the bag he had prepared.
"Remember... I'll keep waiting for you, Lidya." His wife's steps stopped instantly. But he no longer looked. His tears welled up hearing Kamil's Pledge to wait for him, who was never sure to return.
