“Derrick is different office, different house, different residence.” Papa immediately debated Aunt Yun.
“Tata calls him Koko. You just calm down. We can ask for help to see Tata until next month.” Why do these two people really fuss over my situation like I'm really a kid. Until next month? Do they have any plans to hold me in Hong Kong after I get there next month.
“Papa, Auntie, you guys stop first, I'm 34, not 4 years old, you forgot that. I can already buy my own apartment if you do not know, this is my apartment that bought..” I cut off these two guys. They see me now like the accused.
“You did buy your own apartment, with installments as a note. Not cash. Papa knows, another ten years just paid off. Papa appreciate you struggling to buy this, Papa and Mama you are not proud you can succeed, Papa backin your money. But yesterday you almost brought your friend, given medicine? Your mother told that to Papa, ... If it wasn't for Ko Derrick, you'd be in an unclear relationship with a jerk. So how can Papa leave you alone here, this Papa is already a sin to leave you here for life. Your mama wants to calm down how your mama is buried, if Papa doesn't take you to Hong Kong Your mama woke up from her grave!” Papa didn't take the responsibility to argue with me until I was silent. I'm shocked he knows I'm a 10-year-old apartment prick. Until I mention Mama, but still I won't come with her to Hong Kong.
“Iya?” Aunt Yun Lan was surprised. “Whose jerk's man? How dare you take drugs? Derrick hit him?”
“Not yet. Boss family where he works.”
“Haiyaa, you just get out Tata. Rich you have to beg for work to them only. I told Derrick to beat up that guy before Tata went to Hong Kong.” What the fuck is this why Papa and Aunt Yun are so compact?!.
“You Derrick's counting, still Aunt Yun's cousin has a foster child. So this Aunt is still his family, he calls me Aunt too. I really told him to beat up that jerk.” Nih Aunt Yun spoke English with Papa so smoothly that I understood what they were saying.
“Wait-wait Aunt... Tata will not move to Hong Kong. Happy order in Jakarta.” I raised my hand immediately.
I feel like they see me by their own calculations, I feel like I really won't be given back when I get to Hong Kong.
“Just next month you go to HK with Ko Derrick for a vacation, you have promised to make this one yes..” Aunt Yun who spoke and Papa was silent now, it seems that they do not dare to argue with me frontally now. But with the previous talk it seems they especially Papa really want to take me to Hong Kong.
“I'm back in Jakarta. I don't want to stay in HK, don't understand the language.” Directly talk to Papa.
“Can learn...”.
“Already, we say that later. We eat first.” Aunt Yun mediated our conversation and immediately changed the subject.
“Tante and Papa when to return?”
When they got home, Papa was still trying until the last second to persuade me before he left. I just smiled at him until he breathed himself. But yeah, I don't think they'll give up so easily.
“Papa and Aunt Yun can see you.” Ko Derrick called me to dinner a few days later.
“I baek Ko. Don't worry, start work, cape. There is no saddling.” I don't want to interrupt the show. Much owes him now.“This mall can't Ko, there's overtime new advertising proposals. Here they are again rest, at six we still want to continue.”.
“Bener you?”
“Iya bener.” I lied, I just wanted to be alone. Didn't want Ko Derrick to feel sorry for me, didn't want to bother him.
In the last few moments I quickly realized that I had lost my purpose. My mom is gone, and I keep working cape-capes for whom. I don't know what I'm after anymore, who I should be happy with, it feels like at one point I don't have the spirit anymore.
It might feel like a breakup. My love that was always at home, waiting for me to come back was gone, I worked a lot for Mama's happiness, but then she's gone now. Then what should I pursue again...?
The flowers in her belly button withered a week later I went to see her.
“Ma, Tata should how..” I asked him. Removing the flower petals over his tomb. But he was just mute not answering. “Tata by Mama... Usually this Sunday we have eaten outside yes Ma.” My tears are spilling again, making me feel guilty not being able to take them off.
But then, I just whispered talk to her myself. Maybe I just miss telling her. Maybe over time it will decrease a lot, but at the moment I can not separate. The pain has not gone away, it has only forgotten for a moment, coming back when I remember it.
Don't know until when... I don't think I want to go much because I don't want Mama here alone, even though I realize she's not here anymore.
