MY 250 MILLION PEARLS

17. One Wheel of Life Stopped, Another Started

&&&&&-&&&&&

Lukas was born in this house but at the age of 5, Ferdinan decided to bring them a family-Tiara was not born because his youngest son was still Rafael-move from Solo to Jakarta, Indonesia, complaining of fate in the capital.

Applying for a job as a teacher again at a private Jakarta Elementary School, fortunately he was accepted.

Married young but long ago only able to have the first child, Ferdinan and Tami crawl from scratch during the start of a new life in the capital. Living in a narrow rented house without a bedroom. Commonly called a tenement. Not dare to sell a small house that has been owned in Solo.

Ferdinan was lucky enough to finally breathe a sigh of relief once he was appointed a permanent teacher, after 2 years of serving a teaching contract. So the old narrow rented house was then replaced to a new simple rented house with a 2 bedroom.

And luck seems to faithfully follow the next generation of Ferdinan Luke. Still inhabiting the capital, the same achieved success even more brilliant, once graduated from college and then worked as a broker.

Which makes the man more than able to buy a luxury house worth billions of rupiah in Bogor, no more than 7 years after starting work.

Ferdinant children's life wheel also continues to roll around.alternating, replacing story after story in it.

Long after entering retirement, precisely since 8 years ago father and mother Luke finally chose to return to live in Solo. Followed Rafael and the family settled there accompanying him both.

Rafael, 39, works as a mechanic at a new and used car dealership in Solo. Unable to pick up the arrival of her brother, Rini was assigned to bring a car to pick up to the station. Accompanied to their 2 sons, the oldest Teguh 14 years and the youngest Radi 10 years.

As for the story about the only brother who owned Lukas, Citra, died about 3 years ago. At the age of 41. Without children, leaving only an irresponsible husband who prefers to run away, once knowing is a cancer that began to be suffered by the wife.

Be Luke take over managing the Image. Until the presence of Ratna as the brother's new friend, Luke felt a little morally inspired.

And who would have thought, now Luke is lying alone with a Hana Le Vinora Cesilia, the eldest daughter of Ratna's mother, in the old bedroom of the man in Solo...

Almost at 1pm Luke and the others ended the conversation. Accompanied by 2 sons of Rafael who woke up and came down from the top floor, joined chatting below.

As soon as he entered this room, Luke was immediately invaded by mixed feelings to see the wife had been sound in sleep, in an old bed made of solid iron belonging to him in childhood, long ago, I slept with my brother here. Ferdinan deliberately maintained inhabiting the room even though most of the house has undergone renovation. Built into 2 floors.

An iron-masted bed and a mosquito net as a witness to Luke's death once felt that having an older brother was no longer, instead, a wife hugged the pillow tightly on her belly.

Luke's smile expands. Carefully put the buttocks on the edge of the bed and then slowly inching, laying down to face Hana... Never mind, let the bolster remain there, in the protective deck of the body lying on his back.

His wife did not wake up as Luke lovingly and tearfully looked at the peaceful sleeping face, after Luke was next to her.

'Hana.thank you. You're so tough without complaining I took you running this far.

Hopefully by noon tomorrow this presence of yours can make my mother recover from her critical period.

And Hana...

I love you so much. Loving you.

Let me love you.

Also please.reply my love.'

...............

"Ting.ghalkans... Meis.khah..."

That'sallthatis. Just that weak and barely audible whispered sentence was the last message from Hutami to the second child, his beloved first son, he said, before the frail 78-year-old woman breathed her last breath and closed her eyes forever.

Without having heard the answer from Luke who could only be immediately stunned...

Unbelieving between what the man saw in plain sight and what he heard as the mother's last request.

Hana who was standing on the side of the man's seat also showed a keenness, before then moved slowly to the side of Luke's shoulder which began to hear crying to release the mother's departure... Ascertained from the appearance of a slightly loud tone of voice as well as a flat line in the Monitor machine that is connected to the body of the Hutami. Both of these things as a sign that there is no longer a human heartbeat is monitored by the device.

Break the sobs here and there as the results of the doctor's examination also revealed, making sure that Tami had really died. Just on Friday night at 8, only 2 days after the arrival of Luke and Hana in Solo.

There was no other sentence or word when a moment before Tami was seen puffing and opening her heavy eyes, staring blankly up at the ceiling of the ICU room.

Before it all ends. All the burdens are over now...

Luke's heartbreaking cries and hunch are useless now. Dropping her head with a curve over her shoulders, holding one hand over the chest of the woman who gave birth to her 42 years ago, by giving him endless love throughout his life...Luke was devastated, the Hutami still had time to shed those tears before leaving.

Perhaps it is thought that the 'impression' of his behavior, it may be thought that it will always be the departure of the image that precedes such a bitter and fast, also the age factor that has begun to age, it is always thought that the image that precedes so bitterly and quickly, as well as the age factor that has begun to age, luke's mother was pronounced dead due to old illness.

And before Luke had to let go of the still warm body of the Hutami, the man whispered softly near the mother's ear, but quite heard Hana on her right side following the other who was standing behind sat the man, in the ICU room,

"Oh, mother, I've left her a long time ago. For months, since my birthday... So don't worry mom, I've fulfilled your last mandate by myself."

Inevitably the smutty confession mixed with sobs from Luke shocked everyone present.

Still on the right side of the man, Hanalah was the most shocked.

Did ya? Is it really Luke's confession? Luke has broken up from Meiska and left her?

"Ohh..." Suddenly Hana heard the voice of the complaint, feeling the smooth movement in her stomach. Shocked the second time until he sighed his Oh as his left palm held on to the lower side of the abdomen.

Some looked at what the woman was doing as she immediately took a few steps back and looked for the chair she was sitting on, then sat down on the chair in shock, the movement he first felt from his stomach.

"What's up, brother?" Rini approaches the woman followed by Rafael, and the others come closer to Hana. Except Luke, who was merely holding his back on the chair at the side of the bed, turned his head from his seat towards Hannah's chair.

Not yet exhausted by the shock of hearing Luke's confession, all present heard yet another confession...

"moved. Baby's moving. Still moving. No-no, I'm fine. I'm just a little surprised. The first time I felt him move and I..."

Get up and get out of the chair, then Luke swings 2 steps wide to the chair of Hana, interrupting those who stand before his wife's chair...
