I'm the Unacknowledged

Confusion of the Princess

Argha returned to the room. His heart was completely arrogant to see the reaction of Miki who always provoked his emotions. I don't know, it's like the kid is challenging himself for every word and deed.

Ish, Ilona .. why do you always put hardship on me? My search for Gintani isn't over, but why are you giving me such a heavy burden. I really hate you, Ilona! argha cursed the dead.

Miki closed her eyes for a moment after the door of her room closed. The shadow of Maria's mother and her alternate friends, flashed in Miki's memory. Without feeling it, a speck of tears began to trickle down both corners of his eyes. "I miss mom" he murmured, wiping away tears.

Not wanting to dissolve in his sadness, Miki walked towards the study table. He grabbed the picture book and started scratching it. His love for anime made Miki love to draw anime characters. His favorite character, Itachi Uchiha in the Naruto anime, has made Miki have a strong determination to be able to stand on his own two feet. He is convinced that he is capable of becoming a great man even without the help of Argha, the adult man he considers to be his real father.

"Life is not to seek identity, but to create identity" Miki murmured as he continued to play his pencil on white paper.

"How is your son, Mr Argha?" bagas asked as he and Argha were controlling the construction of his showroom.

"Before I answer, can we make a deal first?" ask Argha.

Bagas frowned, he himself did not understand the meaning of the words of his coworkers.

"Hmm, look, Mr. Bagas. This isn't in the office. And even in the office, you don't have to call me mister. The impression is too formal," replied Argha who seemed to understand the confusion that is clearly illustrated in the look of Bagas' face.

"Can we call each other by name? Like before, when we first started to establish business," said Argha at length.

Bagas smiled thinly. "Actually, I agree with you. But honestly, the words of your future wife still ring in my ears," replied Bagas.

"Please behave like a Business colleague, sir. Is it appropriate for a business colleague to call his or her coworker by name? Hmm, I don't think that's true business ethics!" ilona grunts when she hears Bagas calling Argha by name while he is conducting an important meeting.

Rebuking Ilona in front of the shareholders of APA Architecture, making Bagas' face reddened. Shame, annoyance and anger mixed into one. Since then, Bagas began to keep his distance and act as a typical coworker who is only a working partner to Argha.

Argha smiled wryly. He could not deny if the words of Ilona at that time, it was outrageous. But Argha did not want to remember it at all. Remember Ilona, it will only add to his guilt to his ex-wife, Gintani.

"That's it, Mr. Bagas. After all, he was no longer in this world. Remembering the woman, it only added to the wound in my heart" replied Argha .

"Hmm, you're right Mr. Argha. I didn't think he could do that on his own. However, he was very lucky to still be able to repent and admit his mistake before his death. Let's just hope he's calm in nature there" Bagas said.

Argha smiled faintly. He must be calm, Gas. Because he had left a sense of unease in my life, Inner Argha stared blankly at the building that was almost finished.

Without feeling it, a year has passed. But the Princess still has not forgotten her desire for school. Almost every day he sulks at Gintani. Moreover, when a group of children in uniform passed in front of his house.

Today, the Princess was about to play to the house of Eca, one of her close neighbors. The arrival of the Princess coincided with the arrival of Eca who had just returned home from school.

The princess frowned slightly when she saw Eca wearing clothes and shoes. What's more, the bag carried by Eca is very interesting to the Princess. Instantly, the little girl remembered the brothers who always passed by her house in the morning and afternoon.

"Hi Princess! What are you doing in front of Eca's house?" eca asked as she removed her hand from the nanny's grasp.

"Daughter wants to play with you, Ca," replied the Princess.

"Oh, can. Let's play!" invite Eca who immediately grabbed the Princess' hand to enter her house.

Sumi, the nanny immediately opened the door of her employer's house. A moment later, still holding hands, Eca and the Princess entered the house.

Eca wants to invite the Princess to play in the back garden. However, just as she was about to step her foot, Sumi called out.

Eca's tiny hand patted her own eel. "Ommaygat! Eca forgot, Ma'am!" " sahut Eca.

The little girl ran back into the house and shouted at her friend. "Put, you go first to the backyard gazebo, yeah. Eca want to change clothes first!"

Again, the Princess knitted her eyebrows together. Why would Eca be so scared if her clothes were dirty. What clothes he was wearing was very valuable, so that Eca who usually likes to defy the orders of the nanny, now immediately ran according to the orders of Bik Sumi, the inner Princess.

Not wanting to be too confused to think about the attitude of her best friend, the Princess continued her footsteps towards the gazebo in the back garden. For a while the Princess waited for Eca, until finally her peers arrived in play clothes.

"Let's play school, Put!" invite Eca who has brought a small whiteboard complete with whiteboard markers.

"Schools?" the Princess again frowned, "what is it, Ca?" tanyakanya.

"That's a lot, Put. We play teacher and student. Eca became his teacher, Putri became his student" said Eca.

"But the Princess does not know the game, Ca," replied the Princess.

"Yes, Princess follow Eca only. Later also know for yourself," commanded Eca to his best friend.

Eca then gave a striped book and pencil to the Princess. After that, he placed the whiteboard leaning against the gazebo wall. Eca then wrote small circles on the board. When he finished, he turned his body.

"Let's kids, now write this little circle in your notebook, yeah. Make five lines. Who wrote neatly, later Mother loves gifts," said Eca imitating the behavior of her teacher at school.

The princess could only dumbfoundedly look at Eca's attitude. Really, it's not usually that Eca talks like that. The princess is confused.

"Ca, can the Princess ask you something about Eca?" said Princess slowly.

Eca took off her mother's glasses. "Ask me, Put?"

"Is Eca okay?" ask the Princess again.

Eca. "You mean?" tanyakanya.

"The princess was confused by Eca's attitude. Eca said that, anyway. Just like an adult" Princess.

Ish, Put .. 'we're playing school. Eca was pretending to be a teacher. Well, Eca's teacher's mother at school, she likes to talk like that," replied eca.

"Eca's in school?" ask the Princess again.

Eca nodded.

"Is school fun?" The princess asked again.

Once again Eca nodded.

"Like what, Ca?" ask the Princess again.

"So around that we learn ...."

Clearly, Eca told about some of the activities in her school. He also talked about his friends and teachers there.

Eca's story makes the Princess' chest feel rumbling. I don't know what that little girl is feeling right now. Suddenly the Princess moved up and immediately put on her footwear.

"Princess go home first, Ca!"
