I'm the Unacknowledged

Not To Be Remembered

Enin Ifah greeted her daughter-in-law as soon as she arrived in front. Mr. Jaya and Mr. Munir approached the old woman who still looked fit.

"Thank God, Mom. The journey was quite smooth" said Tuan Jaya shortly after kissing the back of his mother's hand. "How are you, Mom?" ask Mr. Jaya again.

"That's it, Jay. Maybe because he is old too, so the father is often sickly" said Enin Ifah.

"Late weather changes have also had a huge impact on health, Mom. Maybe because it was also the father's disease relapsed again," said Tuan Jaya.

"Yes, you're right. Come, comein!" enin Ifah's orders again.

Mr. Jaya and Mr. Munir opened his shoes. They then entered a simple house that still has ancient architecture in the colonial era.

Arriving in the living room, Mr. Jaya's view is locked on a picture frame that puts on the beautiful face of his late wife. A big smile on Mr. Jaya's lips. Old photos that are still well-preserved. Suddenly, Mr. Jaya's forehead wrinkled at the smile of his late wife.

"Smile that?" muttered Tuan Jaya who can still be heard by Mr. Munir.

"Similar to the smile of the little girl, sir," said Mr. Munir.

Sontak Tuan Jaya. He looked in wonder at Mr. Munir.

"Are you aware of it too?" ask Mr. Jaya.

"Yes, Sir. Somehow I like to see the shadow of the late lady Goddess in the child's self," said Mr. Munir.

"Yes, you are right, Nir," said Mr. Jaya.

Miki stared blankly at the vast lake that was in front of her. The incident at school today had made Miki upset. His class teacher asked the student to make a homework assignment, which is to write about family genealogy . Ah, family .. one word she hated most in her life.

The only person she had in her life was Mary's mother. Unfortunately, the fate line instead separated Miki from the middle-aged woman. Women who always put on a body if there is someone who bothers him.

"Miki kangen Mother. Are we gonna see you again, Mom?" muttered Miki, while throwing a small pebble into the middle of the lake.

"You're here."

Reproofing the voice of the girl, suddenly made Miki turn her head. His forehead creased as he watched a friend from his old school standing beside the bench he was sitting on.

"Claras?" mumbling Miki.

The little girl smiled. "May I sit here?" ask Clara.

Miki quiet. He neither refused nor did he. He looked straight at Lake Nirmala.

Clara considers Miki's residence as a form of answer no objection. In the end, Clara was sitting on the same bench, side by side with the boys who made her curious long ago.

"I want to apologize to you" said Clara, breaking the silence.

Silent.

Miki was still reluctant to respond to Clara's words. Although deep in his heart, Miki felt astonished why the word apologized was said from Clara's lips.

"Hhh .. I know, maybe it's too late, and right now .. It will be hard for you to forgive my mistakes. However, I really hope that someday, you can forgive me" continued Clara.

Miki further knitted her two eyebrows. He himself felt astonished, not since when did the little girl turn into a chatty girl figure.

"I hope, when you have decided to forgive me, then we can be good friends, or maybe friends." The little girl spoke again.

Miki smiled cynically. He stepped off the bench he was sitting on.

"Honestly, I don't know what you're talking about. However, obviously I am not the right person for you to make friends," Miki said as she passed from before Clara.

Miki swung her steps leaving the lake of Nirmala. He himself did not care about the cry of Clara who called out to him. The cry that provoked people to notice him. Inwardly, Miki was annoyed by Clara's attitude.

"Apartment of Andalusia, sir!" miki said as soon as she closed the back door of the car.

Without saying much, the taxi driver drove his vehicle. During the trip, Miki leaned back his body while closing his eyes.

His teacher's job again made Miki's head feel heavy.

Oh my God. I really hate my situation. Uh, why would I have to be born into the world if only to bear the sins of my parents. I am tired of this life. I'm sick every day of having to see the sinless face of that jerk guy. Cih, sucks! miki's grunts in her heart.

Mr. Jaya set foot into his father-in-law's room. He had not seen her for a long time. The busyness that has taken his time, making Mr. Jaya never able to visit his in-laws, even if only once a year.

"How are you, sir?" greet Tuan Jaya while crouching on the edge of the bed.

Surya Aki opened her eyes. His smile rose after seeing his only son-in-law. Yes, even though his son is dead, but the good relationship between him and his son-in-law, is maintained. Moreover, there was Argha who became the binders of their relationship.

Aki Surya looked up, his eyes staring straight at the door. His forehead wrinkled slightly after a few seconds, he saw no one enter other than the son-in-law.

"Did Adi not come with you?" tanya Lirih Aki Surya's.

Mr. Jaya shook his head. "There's a lot of projects he has to take care of, sir. So Adi can't come. He said, after the business of the project is finished, as soon as he will visit Mr," replied Mr. Jaya.

"But he's healthy, isn't he, Jay?" ask Aki Surya again.

"Alhamdulillah, Adi is healthy sir," replied Mr. Jaya.

Aki Surya smiled. "Thank God he's healthy. My mother was so worried about him. The last time he came here, he was quite apprehensive. You did not expect that the Adi household would end up like that" said Aki Surya.

"Yes, Sir. This is also all wrong Jay. Ah, for some reason at that time Jaya never found out the truth," said Mr. Jaya looks sad.

"That's it, then let it pass. The past is not to be remembered. However, to be used as a lesson so as not to be repeated again. Most importantly, right now your child is fine," said Aki Surya.

"Yes, sir," said Mr. Jaya.

Not long after, Enin Ifah came to tell if the food was served and ready to be eaten.

"Eat Jay first, then rest. You must be tired" said Aki Surya.

Mr. Jaya nodded. After getting his father-in-law's permission he then went out of the room.

Arriving home, the Princess immediately changed clothes. This time, she was wearing long pants and also a short-sleeved maroon t-shirt. Shortly after, the princess ran out of her room again. The princess can't wait to show her new toy to the friends who hang out in the park every afternoon.

"Ma, Princess go first!" princess's goodbye while shouting.

"Eh, where are you going?" gintani asked, poking his head from the window of the sewing room.

"Daughter wants to go to the park" replied the Princess.

"You just came, Put. Rest first!" Gintani shouted back.

"Princess is not tired, Ma. My mother .. I love you!" The princess shouted again as she ran outside the fence.

"Astaghfirullah .. the boy," said Gintani, stroking his chest.

From behind the window, Gintani just stared at the back of the Princess who started to disappear behind the fence. Unknowingly, a thin smile was engraved when he realized the Princess' behavior was exactly the same as his father's.

"Astaghfiullah! I should be able to forget it." muttered Gintani who tried to pull back the shadow of her ex-husband.
