Naughty Child

Looking for a Lost Father

HANI'S NARRATION

I've reached the capital now. I'm still confused about this city. Transportation is generally a lot, always ask left and right. My only goal is to meet Doni Hendrajaya. He's my biological father. Seventeen years ago my mother was cheating on me with someone. My mother's name is Dian. After my father's death he was the one who took care of me alone. My mother finally caught up with my father shortly after. Before he died he told me that I was not my father's son. I'm the son of a conglomerate. His name is Doni Hendrajaya. My mother had an affair with him until I was born. And this was unknown to my father. Of course it was the hardest blow for me. I didn't expect my mother to commit such an act, betraying my own father. 

But I forgive mom. And I regret everything. I just want to hold Doni Hendrajaya accountable.

I've been in the capital this week. I also work as a waitress in a cafe. His salary is good for life. The cafe Brontoseno. The job here is pretty easy, 'cause I'm part cashier. Just counting money, but also sometimes double serving customers if other servants are complicated. Sometimes I get tips. 

I like one of the customers. He's a huge tip. I don't know what his name is I can't ask his name. He always sat at a table, alone until the cafe was almost closed. I heard he's the girlfriend of one of the musicians who sniffed at our cafe. He's here every night. Just so good of the tree. Luckily, the singer became his girlfriend. 

Speaking of vocalists, I know the vocalist of The Zombie Girls. Name Iskha. He also knows him because he is crammed in this cafe. If not, where will you know? Sometimes I go to his music concert. I also became familiar with this Iskha. The person is jolly, supple, delicious deh invited gaul. He was also my first friend when he stopped in this capital city. I helped starting from finding kos until I made sure I walked with the band members. They're all engrossed. 

"Malem mbak Hani?!" greet Iskha. 

"Malem mbak?! How are you?" my reply. 

"Okay" he answered. 

As usual, he brought his guitar and started to open the wrapper. I saw a man sitting at an empty table. That's the guy I told you about. Iskha looked at herself meaningfully. Duh meraknya dating. 

"Well, how loyal are you guys?" I said. 

"No idea tuh, nempel keeps getting rich' stamps. Hihihi," he replied. 

"Yes, every night mbak nemenin. Are there any other activities?"

"No idea, ask!" he said while grinning.

Tonight cafe visitors are not so crowded, so I can relax a little. I tried to get close to that guy. He is not from an ordinary family. I saw him wearing a purple scarf, a black jacket, jeans and brown shoes. I brought the menu and asked for the order.

"What do you want to order?" my many.

"Ah, as always, Cappucino" he replied. 

"Ok," I said. "There again?"

"No idea, it's just. I'll let you know later" he said. 

I went to the kitchen and told Cappucino's order. Not long after that the order was ready. I'm heading to the guy's desk right away. 

"Thank you" he said. 

I didn't move right away. I sat in a chair near her. 

"The guy's mom iskha?" my many.

"Yes" he answered.

"Well, lucky for Iskha. It's still being cemented if it's malem," I said. 

"How else, if he comes home alone danger right. Girls, too" he said. 

"Today, too. Can you know my name?"

"I'm Faiz. You?"

"I'm Hani. I also know Iskha. They often walk together too. We also sometimes confide in that."

"Oh yeah? Curious about anything?"

"There, that's a girl's secret. Hehe."

"Yeah.okay deh."

"I live, my mother" I said as I moved and returned to my place. 

"OK, please. Thanks, yes" he said. Very polite.

"Yes, you're welcome" I replied. 

That night passed quickly. It didn't even feel like the show was done by Iskha and his friends. Iskha's mother cleaned her musical instruments, same with her friends. 

"Ok girls, till tomorrow?" he said to his friends. 

"OK, until tomorrow" said another. 

I really want to go home too. 

"You want to go home to Han?" tanyakanya.

"Well, would you like to go home too?" my many.

"Yes. Hmm...want to be with me?" 

"Lho, I'll bring a bike. I'll take the angkot, as usual," I said.

"No ah, the danger is also angkot malem-malem. The same with Faiz. He's got a koq car. I was with him koq. I don't mind one passenger" he said. 

"OK," I said.

Finally short story that night I was escorted by Iskha and her boy. I sat in the back with the guitar. Iskha sat in front of dong accompanying her beloved lover. While in this car somehow I'm comfortable huh? What is the influence of his man mbak Iskha. Ah, it's impossible. Masa' charm until rich' that. But honestly I admit that his guy is amazing. If he had a car like this, it would be rich. 

Not long after that I got to my front door. I got out of the car. 

"Be careful, ma'am!?" iskha. 

"OK, thank you very much" I said. 

After that I just saw him leave me alone in front of the boarding house. Tired feel. I went into my room. Take off my shoes. I locked the room door and immediately threw myself down. Because I was too tired, I slept too. Know it's morning. 

***

That day I was off, because of my shift. There is something unusual. I have a guest. Well, that's Faiz, that guy Iskha, what's wrong?

"Eh, Mas Faiz. What's up, huh?" my many. 

"I want to ask for help. Can you?" tanyakanya.

"What help is it?"

"Look, Iskha is the birthday of sweet seventeen. I want to surprise him. I know about the things he likes the most that I may not know. Or maybe something he wanted a long time ago but never got through?" tanyakanya. 

"Oh...koq mas asked me?"

"He told me that he was close to you, well, who knows you know that."

I also contemplated. "If it's about what he wants the most, he's got some. Among them was a kiss on the Eiffel Tower."

"The woi distance, which is decades away," said Mas Faiz.

"Hihihihi..hmmm yes. He wanted a piano. I really want a piano" I said. 

"What true? Not the others? Motorcycle or what? Maybe rings? A necklace?"

I'm shaking. "No mas. He wants a piano. Really, suwer. He had visited the mall. Then there's a piano there that can be played. He played piano there. Of course everyone is amazed by the game. And he told me, if only he had enough money, he'd love to buy a piano like that."

"Twenty september, huh? Hmm..okay deh," I said.

After that Faiz left. Funny also yes giving a birthday surprise to mbak Iskha. I was also one of the initiators. 

DONI NARRATIVE 

It was kind of funny when today I was told by Faiz that he wanted to introduce me to his girlfriend. The only goal is to want me to approve and approve of their relationship. I've told you many times, whatever your choice I'm in. But it turns out that Faiz wanted me to see him in person the girl he chose. It's tonight at Brontoseno Cafe. 

I know the owner of the cafe, his name is Mr. Liem. One of the entrepreneurs who is famous for his cafe franchise business. I told him that I would come to his cafe to join my son's sureprise. Mr. Liem laughed. 

"Sir Doni, it seems that your son fell in love with his girlfriend until he was introduced to everything" said Mr. Liem. "I was also called by your son to give you a surprise party, he said. I'm Ok, Ok, especially if I know Mr. Doni. Didn't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Liem. His name is also children. We were young too" I said. "Thank you then, I'll stop by there."

"Yes sir, please! I've contacted the manager" Mr. Liem said. Our conversation is over. 

I was in the office until night. I immediately withdrew to the cafe as promised to Faiz. Faiz called me.

"Dad, are you leaving?" tanyakanya. 

"Yes, this is also on the way" I replied.

"Thank you, yeah" he said.

"Yes" I said.

After from the parking lot I immediately drove my car until the asphalt made a squeaking sound. The trip to the cafe was quite long because I had to fight with an incredible traffic jam. There's a phone coming in again. From my wife Laura. 

"Hello Ma? What's up?" my many.

"What's overtime?" tanyakanya. 

"No, it's just that Faiz wants me to go to his girl surprise party. What's up, huh?" 

"Oh, it's okay. If you can't pick up June who is currently at the training ground, I'll call her later" Laura said. 

"Oh, it's okay. I can koq. He's in the Dojo, isn't he?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"It just so happens that the Dojonya deket koq is the same cafe."

"Oh, thank goodness. Be careful, pa."

"Okay, um."

I stopped by a Dojo before going to the cafe. Take June? It'sit's okay. He also rarely takes me out. He trained at the Kendo Dojo. It has been a long time in this sport, since he was still Junior High to be exact. My car is parked outside the Dojo. It didn't seem to come out yet. Immediately I got out of the car and into the Dojo. It turns out June is over. He ran towards me with his bamboo sword. 

He immediately kissed my hand. 

"Hi pa" she said.

"Hi, how's the exercise?" my many. 

"Well, as always," he answered. 

He and I walked together. 

"Next month there's a championship, I'm coming" he said. 

"Oh yeah? Wow, cool dong. Harsh training then," I said. 

"Why can you come?" tanyakanya. 

Well, this. Difficult to answer too. 

"Papa try well, if papa is not too busy must come," I said. 

"It can't be dong pa. Papa's championship has not come many times. Who can encourage me? While my friends his parents must have come," June lashed.

"There's Faiz's brother if papa can't come" I said.

"Sir Faiz again, it's pa. If you can't say you can't," he grumbled and got into the car. He threw his sword in the back seat. I let out a breath.

"Well, papa's coming. Promises. Whatever papa's business, papa will definitely come, but on one condition," I said.

The face of Jun Sumrigah. She was so happy, "What pa?"

"You have to win" I said. 

"Surely dong pa, I will definitely win. Thanks, pa" he said. She hugged me. 

"You're the laper, right? I'll take you to the cafe. I haven't eaten dinner in a long time. Your brother is giving a surprise to his girlfriend on her birthday" I said. 

"Oh yeah? Come on pa, come on! We're there!" said excited.

"Yes, yeah. Patience is also the car is not on" I said. 

We went to the cafe in question. I could see Faiz's car, the Honda City Type Z he was modifying parked outside the cafe. I parked my car next to him. 

"Ah, Faiz's car! I'm pa first!" June immediately jumped out of the car. He still wears his uniform. Go straight into the cafe. Substantial. I got out of the car and went into the cafe. 

Inside the cafe Faiz immediately greeted me. A few people were looking straight at me. 

"Thank you, it's coming" Faiz said. 

HANI'S NARRATION

Tonight is special of course. Faiz will give a sureprise to Iskha. Mbak Iskha is still busy entertaining the cafe visitors are quite a lot because most are indeed invitations from Faiz. He also welcomed a middle-aged man. Previously there was a person who was about a teenager immediately entered and hugged Faiz from behind. He was shocked and immediately kissed the boy's cheek. Hugged the old man.

"Alamaaak, what dream did I have last night" said my colleague Tanti. He's one of the waiters and just delivered an order for a customer. 

"What's up Tan?" my many.

"That's.he's a conglomerate, Mr. Hendrajaya!" whisky Tanti.

"Huh? Which really?" i'm appalled. "Hendrajaya's Doni?"

"Yes, masa' You don't know?" tanti said astonished.

What the fuck? Cannot be. That's Doni Hendrajaya? My biological father????

"Lho, so that guy is Iskha...???" i muttered.

"Yes, that guy is his son. Masa' You don't know anyway? It just showed up in the papers, "tanti said again.

"I rarely read the newspaper, either" I said.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. I can deal with people who say my mother is my biological father. Mr. Hendrajaya. But..Will he be able to accept me? Not likely. He's so parente. I can't admit that I'm actually his son. It's only fitting that yesterday I felt comfortable in Mas Faiz's car. Because he's my brother. Light only. Now it's obviously everything. 

Then what am I supposed to do??
