ISKHA NARRATION
Mas Faiz, I can't forget you. I have been in the city of Malang for a month. Malang and Jakarta. Far-away. Although I had a recommendation to move to a new school, but I didn't go in there. I'm still in shock. I locked myself in my room more. Going out of the house is rare. Mom and dad are desperately forced to find a new income. Mom can still sew while dad, suddenly just get a PHK letter. That really hurts. Dad now hates the Hendrajaya family. But the other one is that I don't hate Mas Faiz. Because I know Mas Faiz is not wrong.
Faiz. That name is still in my heart. To protect my family now I'm here. All contact with my friends was lost. I'm sorry to them. But it doesn't feel enough.
"Iskha, son. You can't keep going like this" said my mother. "Look, your eyes are swollen. Are you sad every day? Yuk out? help mom shop."
I just nodded slowly.
"Mom knows how you feel about Faiz. He's a good guy, but his family doesn't agree. Yeah how are you doing again? Don't be sad" said the mother.
"Mas Faiz is my life. I can't forget it, it hurts to miss this" I said.
"Mom knows how you feel, mother was young too" she said. "Mother was also missing when your father went to be a machinist. Especially the long distance trains. Lebaran added that she did not come home. Kangen dong is sure."
I smile.
"Well, so smile. I like it when you smile. Mother's most beautiful son," mother hugged me. Mother's embrace was reassuring.
"Come, ma'am, Iskha help you shop" I said. While holding mom.
After that I shopped with my mother at the market for daily necessities. The money given by the Princess was more than enough. Crazy what 700 million. But this is too much. We were even interested in returning it after Dad had a new job later. Because we had no income and suddenly lived in a new house.
Every day I play the piano given by Mas Faiz. This is what reminds me of Mas Faiz. I play the piano until I cry sometimes. I'm devastated, can't anyone understand how much I miss him? Mas Faiz, do you hear my heart? I love you, I will never forget you. Forever.
There was another night that day. When I play the piano suddenly the door is knocked.
"Mother, there's a guest!" I said.
But I didn't show up either, probably busy in the kitchen.
"Wood!?" call me.
"I'm playing a game, just interrupt!" brother says.
I'm also bete. I got out of my chair. My melodies were instantly ripped away all leaving behind the fake sound I pressed on the piano keys. I'm surprised also the clock has shown at 20:00 but there are koq who are visiting these nights. Who the hell? Though we also recently moved, maybe Mr. RT or next door neighbor.
I also opened the door.
"Yes??.", my mouth choked instantly as I saw who was at the door.
"Who's Iskha?" my mother's voice came from the kitchen. He carried a spatula and when he found out who was at the door he dropped his spatula.
"Iskha, come back to me!" said the man. That's...Mas Faiz's. Mas Faiz?? I'm not dreaming, am I?
"Mas Faiz?" I said with trembling lips.
"Not a mas, why? Wh why? Why are you here?"
"I already know everything. I've left the house, I will no longer occupy the Hendrajaya family home. The doom house I left behind. I want to be with you. Come back to me Iskha, you are my life. You are my life. Every beat of my heart, every breath of mine is you. Iskha..," Mas Faiz's words were very sweet.
Mas Faiz, you used to make me clamps. But why did you make me clamps again today? I don't know how I looked back then, happy, happy, hysterical. But what about his family if he finds out he's here? What about Princess?
"You don't have to think about Princess. He will not dare touch you again. I promise you that" said Mas Faiz.
"Mas Faiz,..aa.me..," I suddenly didn't know what to say.
Mas Faiz immediately hugged me, not only that he just kissed me. At that moment I was like a thirsty man in the desert suddenly found an oasis. I really want to be kissed by you. Kiss me, kiss me, battery yours. Hug me because you are this medicine, you are this thirst-quencher. Mas Faiz's. Ohhh.I miss...
Mas Faiz let go of his kiss and said, "Don't leave me again."
"I'm not leaving anymore. Oh...Mas Faizku," I hugged him again.
FAIZ'S NARRATIVE
After picking her up from Malang, Iskha returns to her former home and returns to her former school. Everything came back to the way it was. I don't care about my family anymore. I really threatened the school if it did not accept Iskha again the school there would deal with me. They finally allowed it. Iskha is happy. He could meet up with his friends again. With Nailul, with Hani, with his band members again with everything.
My relationship with Iskha is back. He came back to me again. Something that can't be bought with anything. My relationship with Iskha is tight this time. I'm not even shy about showing my affection with him anywhere. Kissing her cheeks is not as shy anymore.
I live in a boarding house. Erik was the one who helped me. He was my loyal friend, my friend. He also helped me to sell my Lotus car on the internet. And the money I bought a motorcycle, some of it I saved. Lotus cars include sports cars, so the price is quite expensive, especially after being modified. I sold it for 800jt. Pretty good too. There's the son of a conglomerate who really wants that car. Gawk.
Not only that. To be independent I am willing to work at the Brontoseno Cafe. This I do so that I and Iskha are always together everywhere. And of course Iskha likes it very much. From the son of a billionaire to a servant. It doesn't feel so bad, but it's my wish, too. Ever since I knew Iskha, I have preferred simplicity. For me working like this can train me even more to become a great person someday.
That night I was working as usual. I'm taking down customer orders. Since I worked here the visitors have been quite crowded. Especially girls. I know some of them want to know how Hendrajaya's son can work in this cafe. Sometimes they even tease me.
"Are there any more ordered?" my many.
"That's enough," he said.
I immediately left the table and went to the kitchen. The other friends immediately made the order. Iskha seemed to be singing as usual. I see me sometimes working hard. I'm getting used to this kind of work, not bad either. Although the salary is not much, at least it can help me survive.
A man with a black after and a suit walked into the cafe. Instantly I knew who he was. He's mydad. I know why he's here. He wants to see me. My father looked at me from far away. He waved at me. I'll come to him soon. Everyone glanced at me, knowing that there was Doni Hendrajaya in this cafe.
"Sit down!" father's orders.
"What message do you want?" my many.
"That's how you talk to your father, sit down!" said.
"If you take my hours then I can't do it. If you want to talk then wait for me to finish work" I replied.
"Say sit!" my father said in a flat and slightly raised voice.
I also sit.
Dad took a breath. He took a cigarette and started lighting it. He didn't talk just looking at me.
"Come on, I don't have time to accompany you here" I said.
"I'm disappointed, but I'm sorry, too" said the father. "You don't have to think about your job. I could have told Mr. Liem to fire you, but I didn't. I'm disappointed you made your mother sad. It also makes the princess sad. I already know everything. And I'm sorry, sorry I didn't tell you this."
"What do you want now?" my many.
"I want you back" he replied.
"I told you not to" I said.
"Faiz, of all my children you are the one I love the most. Know that," obviously. "And I'll do anything to get you back."
"Dad can't, my resolve is unanimous. I'm not going back to Hendrajaya's family and don't force me."
"Then what are you gonna do? Work like this? Your future is bright in this family? Get the treasure, position everything??"
"I've made a determination. You can't force me."
Dad smoked his cigarette deep. After that he turned it off in the ashtray that was available on the table. "No candidate deserves to replace me but you. I'm sure you'll be back. If you go home and hate princesses, don't worry. The princess had already left the house on her own initiative. He was very sorry, maybe his entire life would be filled with regret. This company is yours. If I don't, you'll be the one running it. You're smart, you're very talented in business. And my decision cannot be changed."
Dad stands. Me either. We are the same height, according to the people among his children I am the most similar. He patted my shoulder. Before leaving.
"Today I have forgiven you for what you did to your mothers. They forgive you too. I already know everything. If you come back, we'll be happy to welcome you" said my father. He just left. Leaving me alone.
I looked towards Iskha. I didn't know that everyone was looking at me right now. I went back to my place and continued my work. Even if dad says that. I stick to my stance, I'm not going back there.
