I'm taking you off, Mas!

Revealing the Origin of Yara

Talking to Miss Lydia brought Yara's spirit back. The two of them went back to talking about something other than Afkar. Ms. Lydia did not want Yara to continue to grieve with the situation she was facing at the moment.

"Never be afraid if you haven't fought. You haven't tried to stay close to Afkar for much longer. Help him remember your memories. Don't be weak in front of your mother-in-law, Ra. All this time we were quite submissive and obedient to him. Enough of you being insulted and humbled by it."

"Prieve I can, Mom," Yara replied.

"You can, of course, not mean to teach you to fight back to your in-laws. I know your in-laws are a substitute for your parents. But I've been watching for myself all this time, his attitude doesn't deserve you. Just because you're from an orphanage. He didn't know you were a one-on-a-kind child," said Miss Lydia to a halt. The old woman was not aware of his words that almost revealed who Yara really was.

"What child am I, Mom? Why did you stop talking? Do you know who my father is, Mom?" Yara asked him full of questions.

During this time Ms. Lydia hid the secret meetings that her late mother Yara told her. And maybe now is the right time for him to reveal it.

Miss Lydia was silent. She hesitates, but Yara has every right to know who her father and sister are.

"Mom, please tell Yara who they are. Yara wants to meet if they're alive. Yara would love to meet my older sister, Mom. When mama was alive, she only told me that the older sister was quiet and kind, and so was papa," Yara urged to Ms. Lydia.

"Do you really know why your mom is here? Why when mom gives birth, papa is not with her. Or ... I'm an illegitimate child, until mom has to leave or can be kicked out by papa?" Yara was increasingly confused by his words.

Madam Lydia shook her head.

"Everything you say is not true, Ra!" elak Bu Lydia with the words that Yara accuses her late mother.

"Then what? What Ma? I want to know the truth?" Yara covered her face with both palms. I want to cry again but I am tired. It's free to cry if in reality all mixed up disappointed.

Miss Lydia breathed heavily. "Alright mom will tell it all this time. You also deserve to know who your family is and why you and your mom are here!" Said Ms. Lydia. As the woman fell silent, she tried to remember the past events that had passed for so long.

Slowly Ms. Lidia began to tell how she met a woman who was five months pregnant who was in need of help at a train station in Jakarta. The beautiful woman asked for help to invite him to it with Miss Lydia at that time.

revealing while recalling past events made the old woman a little difficult.But the core of the problem faced by her late mother was clearly told to Yara.

"That's the short story you know about your mom's life. Even until you are 7 years old, Mira always took the time to look at your sister Aileen, right at the time of her birthday. Although you have to watch from a distance. But he did not forget to give Aileen a gift. You also have the same item as your sister, because Mira always buys 2 items that will be given to Aileen. He only distinguishes the color," said U Lydia at length when telling everything to Yara. Nothing has passed at all.

"What's this necklace, Mom?" Yara pulled out the necklace that she had always used all this time.Mama Mira's legacy that never separated from her.

Madam Lydia shook her head in response.

"No, it's not a gift necklace from your mama. It was a gift to your name and Aileen because you were not born then so you don't have the necklace. Mira said your dad deliberately ordered two necklaces specifically for your mom and sister. That's when you're not here."

"Why can papa ever slander mama? Why don't you defend yourself, Mom?" Yara asked increasingly.

"That's your mama, she's too weak when someone slanders her. He added that he had no evidence to defend himself" Ms Linda replied.

"God ... What you always say is not true. Papa wasn't a good person all along. The proof is he never found out the truth, he let mom and I live together here." Yara hates the man called papa by her.

"We never know, Ra. Maybe your papa is looking for your whereabouts. But your mama shut down and changed all her identity. You're high for a minute! I'll take something for you." Ms. Linda got up from her seat then walked towards the building not far from there.

the building where the children of the orphanage and Miss Lydia rested.

'Why do you always defend that man if he has failed you, Mah? What really happened back then? Why should you give up when another woman slanders you in front of papa? And why didn't papa's mother defend you if she knew the truth?'

Inner Yara was sad. It hurts more than the problem with Afkar.

"I must be strong, I must not be weak. I don't want to be a weak Puspa Almira Rajak and give up on her life. Papa ... You owe me an explanation, about all this!" Yara muttered firmly.

Hearing all the stories of Ms. Lydia about the past and her origin that was revealed made Yara curious about the figure of the man mentioned in the story. That name was his papa name that he would remember. Yara will look for him if he returns to Jakarta later.

Before long Ms. Lydia returned with a photo album in her hands.

"What is this, Mom?" Yara asked as Ms. Lydia offered the photo album to Yara.

"Open up."

Yara followed his orders.

She's a beautiful woman in several poses in the worn-out photo shown by Ms. Lydia.

"Who are they, Mom?"

"Look carefully, this woman! Do you know who he is?" Ms. Lydia pointed to one of the two people in the photo.

Yara carefully watched the foot.

"It's mama! But is it true, Mom? My mom is very different if she looks like this. She's so pretty, so pretty!" Yara.

"Yes, that's your mama. He deliberately changed his appearance so that your papa would not easily recognize him. There were people looking for your mother, but it was just your papa's man. So Mira does not want to see him, he goes back to hiding in his robe. Your mama hoped your own papa would look for her but that never happened, somehow? And next to her is Priska, your mama's best friend."

Then Ms. Lydia turned the next page of the photo.

The three people in the photo shown by Ms. Lydia again made Yara curious. He saw that the little girl in the picture was not himself.

"This is your father and brother. You were not among them." Ms. Lydia kept talking about the two people that Yara had just seen her face.

Yara felt the photo with her index finger.

"Why do I feel familiar with this girl, Mom? It's like I've met him. But, where is it? Look at these eye beads. I'm really no stranger to seeing it, "obviously Yara. He continued to investigate the photo that was in front of him at this moment. Yara also noticed the little girl.

"Why do I feel this girl is so close to me?"
