Maudy's First Love

Want to Go Back to the Land

54

Mama's life at that time could not be helped anymore, mama had a heart attack. She breathed her last after being hospitalized for three days. 

Papa was devastated at that time. He lost his beloved wife. But papa has to be strong. Because Keano still needs him. 

Without informing relatives, papa buried the mother in TPU with the help of a funeral attendant. 

I deliberately hid my mother's death. Papa doesn't want anyone to know his family's current condition. 

Especially the Maudy family, until now papa still disagree if his son is with ordinary people. 

The day after my mother's departure, Keano regained consciousness. Unfortunately, he lost all his memory. He could not remember anything, even his own name he did not know. 

Getting hit the more papa. Died away by his wife for a long time, and now his only son lost his memory. 

After Keano's health condition began to stabilize, papa brought Keano to America to seek treatment there. 

For almost two months Keano was treated there. His health began to improve gradually. Now he was able to walk again, although sometimes easily tired because of too long walking. It's just that he hasn't recovered one bit. Patiently taking care of Keano.

Six months passed, Keano's health condition had returned a hundred percent, except for his memory. 

That afternoon, Keano had a casual chat with papa in the living room. 

"Pa, said papa we come from Indonesia?Keano wants to go back there. Who knows can help recover Ken's memory" Keano said. 

"Not for now, Ken. Papa's not ready to go back there. It'll just remind you of your mama," he said. 

Papa still remembered that he had sent Maudy a short message on behalf of Keano. 

"But, pah! How long are we here? Ken, want to make a pilgrimage to mama's grave. Ken, also want to know our relatives there. Maybe Ken, a lot of friends there," Keano said seriously. 

Papa sighed, confused about what else to do to reject his son's wishes. 

"Ken, then yes, if papa is ready. If you can accept your mother's departure," I'm papa. 

"Look, papa stays here, let Ken, go back there himself" Keano said. 

"No! Papa disagrees. Later you are there no one takes care of," said papa. 

"Geez, Pa, Keano isn't a kid. Keano can take care of himself. Keano is healthy. Anyway, didn't papa say there we have brothers? Keano can stay with the brothers there," whined Keano. 

"Yes, papa knows you're healthy, but you're amnesiac. Papa just wants you to stay under papa's supervision" said papa. 

"All right! But until when? Keano just wants certainty, when can we go home?" ask Keano. 

"Next year we go back there!" answer papa. 

"Promise yes, pa?" whining Keano. 

"Yes papa promise!" 

"Geez, I really have to buy time, I hope Keano forgets his desire to return to the homeland," inner papa ketar - ketir.
