"Just call Nduk, son, or whatever, that could be called a child."
The man was stunned to hear the answer from Yati. He felt astonished, because there was no woman, who could resist his charm all along.
"Hahaha... Are you kidding Ma'am? How could I possibly call it that?" asked the man, who thought that Yati was joking.
Now, Yati smiled cynically, as she saw and heard the answer from Mr. Wasito, the hotel owner who had now changed the atmosphere.
"Yes. You know for sure, if I was joking. What do you mean you asked?"
Finally, Yati decided to follow the will of the man. He wanted to know, what he really wanted, by pretending to wonder.
"Are you on your way, I mean, you want to find someone, or run away from someone. Maybe I can help" said the man, with a question he asked Yati again.
Finally, Yati told Mr. Wasito that she was indeed looking for the whereabouts of a man, who had left her, along with a newborn baby.
The man is not responsible for his actions on his woman. Though the woman had just given birth, even getting unkind treatment from someone, by torture. So that makes his woman depressed and disturbed mental health.
At the end of the story, Yati says, "but unfortunately, the man left instead, and did not protect his woman and also his newborn son."
The man heard the story from Yati with silence for a moment. He looked serious, he also felt like he was listening to a story about himself.
But, because he did not want anyone else to know the truth about him, he commented on the story of the woman who had just stayed at his hotel by saying, "Then, then, where are you going to look for him, Ma'am? Don't you know where the man is now?"
With a faint smile, Yati nodded in agreement to the question from the man who was commenting on his own life.
"Yes, I don't know where he is. But I know, the name of the county. I also know, the real Nana of the man, who now no longer remembers himself."
The man was stunned again. He felt that, the story he listened to was just like his own. In fact, very similar.
"If you may know, maybe. yes it is possible, I know him, or know where the area is."
The man paused his sentence. He looked at how Yati's facial expression was, then continued her words again. "If I don't know, maybe I can ask the kids, I mean, the clerk in the hotel, or the store in front. What's the man's name?"
"Emhhh, his name is Tama."
The deg!
The man's face looked pias. The blood seemed to stop and not flow properly, so his heart could not beat normally.
Yati did not continue his sentence. He was silent for a moment, to notice how the man was now.
Unfortunately, the man, who is known by the name of Mr. Wasito Yati, is silent and seems mute.
Mr. Wasito is speechless. His tongue felt stiff and could not be moved.
In fact, his heart also seemed to stop, just as the woman in front of him was currently mentioning Tama's name.
"What_do you know, face, emhhh.. I mean.. That man's face, do you know his face? seen her?"
Nervously, Mr. Wasito asked Yati. He wanted to make sure that, what the woman meant was not himself. Which has long since disappeared from his old life.
"No."
Yati answered short, saying she did not know the face of the man named Tama.
"Have you heard a story like this? It seems you've lived once, since I told you from the beginning."
By pretending not to know, Yati wants to lure the man in front of her right now, to bring out her grunts, or the story of her past life.
"No. Of course I've never heard of it. Such stories, in fact, happen a lot in real life or television. Uh, are you a reporter? or a novelist, who's looking for inspiration for story ideas?"
"Hemmm. If I'm a novelist, and I'm in the position of an abandoned woman at that time, it's possible, it's just that, I will write the same novel as AMY DOANK's novel VENGEANCE FIRST WIFE. Maybe the novel will be the same and also viral, in the toon group application. Moreover, this is a true story, even though this woman of hers, was not a wife. He was just a mistress of someone, and ended up being an affair of that man named Tama."
The man fell silent again, as Yati finished answering her question. He doesn't wonder anymore. But he started to notice Yati, starting from top to bottom, and from bottom to top.
But Yati, pretend to be indifferent. With her large, black-colored glasses, she could clearly see how things were and the expression of the man in front of her at this moment.
While the man, could not see how Yati who was paying attention to him earlier.
"What would you do now, if you didn't know the Tama's whereabouts and face?"
Finally the man and again asked Yati. He wanted to know what Yati would do next.
"none. It's okay to not know and not meet. Maybe it's better just like that. Rather than know, but it turned out to be nothing like I imagined."
Actually, Yati regretted having done this quest. Because it turns out, only disappointment that he got, after being able to meet with Wasito, or Tama, Yati's real father.
As it doesn't go according to what he wants, Yati ends up saying nothing, about herself and also her relationship with this Wasito master.
Yati thought that, it was better not to confess about the truth of the relationship between them, than to get even greater disappointment, with the lunge of his father in the black world, which he is doing now.
But apparently, Mr. Wasito did not give up. He who had noticed Yati's face, began to be alert, because as if he knew, whose face was currently in front of his eyes.
"You, who are you really?" ask Mr. Wasito to make sure.
But Yati did not budge. He remained silent and did not answer Mr. Wasito's question.
"Tell me the truth, who are you?" ask again, by pressing the real word.
Yati did not answer either. He wanted to pass, and immediately return to his village. He did not want to see his father's current state.
'Just remember, Mr. Andre kicked him out. Apparently, this is what my real father did. I thought, Mr. Andre is very cruel, out of resentment and heartache.' Yati said in her heart.
Now, he no longer blames Mr. Andre, with his decision to separate his mother and himself from the man.
Because it turns out, the behavior of Tama, or Wasito, as Yati currently knows.
"Wait!"
Lord Wasito, stop Yati's steps, who wants to leave her place.
"Tell the truth. Is that man you were referring to me?" ask Mr. Wasito to guess.
"Why would you feel if, that story I was you?"
Mr. Wasito fell silent again. He could not answer the question from Yati, even though the question he asked, did not get any answer.
"You can't leave here, if you don't tell me who you really are!"
