The journey to the UAE took 20-22 hours, an hour before landing, and Kiano and his friends were asked to dress in white as a statement of condolence.
“Well, I don't bring white clothes how dong?” Kiano is confused
“That, the suitcase in front is aimed at Lo!” answer Andi
“Make me?”
“Emang Lo don't know? Mr. Simon was grateful, he said he took care of Mr. Faizul”
“ooh” immediately Kiano picked up the suitcase located in front, next to the seat of Daniel and Rita, at a glance he saw Rita and Daniel who were busy chatting. The jealousy in his heart was unbearable.
“Heh, you guys don't talk, let's get ready. On bringing white clothes, right?” tanya Kiano deliberately mediates the chatter of Rita and Daniel
“Lo do not see we have changed white clothes from earlier?” ask Rita
Kiano looked at Rita and Daniel, they looked mismatched, the white shirt they were wearing looked like a couple shirt, it made his heart burn even more jealous. Kiano snarled and left them both. He carried the suitcase into the locker room on the plane, after it was opened he found a white suit with a head covering, as well as a flash.
“What's new?” he was confused, after changing clothes he put his old clothes in the suitcase, then sat back next to Andi
“Di, Lo bring laptop not?”
“No, why?”
“Gue loved this same Om I” he showed flash
“Try me to ask Rita or Daniel, maybe they bring an adapter so they can read on hp?”
Kiano went back to Rita and Daniel, he showed me his flash. Daniel took the flash, and out of his seat, he met the flight attendant, minutes later the flight attendant approached them and pulled the screen on the ceiling of the cabin. Flight attendants showed the projector with a flash adapter inside
“You don't mind us coming to see the contents of this flash right?” daniel asked Kiano, he already knew Kiano was good at English. Kiano nodded in agreement. Kiano occupied Daniel's seat, but the flight attendant asked him to move to the back so that the image on the screen could be seen clearly. Kiano sat 3 seats from the front, next to Andi, Rita and Daniel. They listened to the contents of the flash which turned out to be a video message from Kiano's father.
“Hai Kiano, this is Dad!. sorry you have to know dad at a time like this.” Kiano's father looked so thin, his nose was connected to an oxygen tube. Next to him was his wife sitting, her face looking very tired. His father's voice was stammered, yet it was still clearly heard.
“If we are separated by a long distance, I keep monitoring your progress Kiano. Dad has photos of you from the beginning you were born until you were 4 years old, a date who sent to dad as an exchange for your treatment costs.”
“ Your father and mother met at a party at the RI embassy to the UAE. I fell in love with him from the first time I saw him, at the party I saw your mother as simple, intelligent and confident. Eva, a sweet girl with glasses, her height is ordinary like a Southeast Asian, her skin color is a bit brown impressed exotic. Dad can't forget his sweet smile, Eva is the only woman who doesn't make the effort to get close to him. Many women who came to the party, they tried to get close to the father because of the father's family, they praised the lick and dress fun to tease the father, but Eva did not. He just sits in a corner, occasionally he circulates to find food from buffees. Eva is very interesting, she is so excited when the karaoke event, her voice is fake, often the tone is not up, but her confident singing style makes me often chuckle to remember her. We have dated several times since then. About 2 years we were close, and father ventured to propose to him. Father also gave him a warning about the father's family threatening to remove the father from the family list if we were married but it did not discourage us from coming together. For the first time in my life, I fought for what I wanted without the intervention of my parents. We got married in Indonesia, a week after getting married dad was so shocked, your grandfather froze all of dad's accounts that we lived a life of concern. Dad contacted some of dad's business associates, maybe they could help dad open a new business but all of the dad's business associates who used to lick, are now staying away from dad because there is no support from the dad's family. In addition, your mother was also dismissed from the embassy for reasons that make no sense, I believe the family father had something to do with the incident. Dad was so devastated, I was so angry, they shouldn't have done that to your mother, but Eva was a good woman, she kept encouraging me. Apart from the embassy, your mother got a job in a broadcasting institution with a hefty salary but to get the job she had to hide her status as a wife. “
“For the sake of survival, we agreed to hide our marriage status. In the early months of her work, I was so grateful to get a sholeha woman who was so devoted to her husband, but on the other hand I was also so jealous of her achievements, I just stayed at home. Every day I saw her being ushered in by her male co-worker, Eva introduced me as her older brother, I was so mad at her. After the man came home, I was so upset to see your mother acting like nothing had happened. I accidentally thinned his hand when he served hot coffee in front of me. The coffee water blistered his hands and it seemed that your mother was also shocked, until she fell unconscious. That day was probably the most regrettable day I ever had, when I was going to take your mother to the hospital, Eva's father and mother came to visit, they were surprised to see Eva pass out with blistered hands. They took Eva to the hospital and reported Dad to the police. Dad explained the real incident, but your grandfather didn't accept it, he was so protective of Eva. He spent 2 days in police custody. Father contacted Faizul through the UAE embassy in Jakarta. Faizul negotiated with my father-in-law to retract the police report in exchange for divorcing Eva. At first I insisted on maintaining our marriage, but father had to accept the fact, Eva's parents did not allow Eva to return to our rented house. Why do you think you live alone in a country where you don't even know anyone but your mother. With a heavy heart he divorced her and returned to his family. I thought after all back to normal I'd come back to pick up Eva.”
“ I was very happy to hear that Eva was pregnant with our child, but the circumstances of the father have not made it possible to come to pick her up, it seems like the family father knew the plan of the father against Eva. Stepping on your age to 4, information about you being cut off, Eva disappearing without a trace, I can't send you money for your treatment either. I just found out about Eva's departure from the meeting. Maybe you forgot, I came to your mother's funeral. You were 12 years old, wanted me to take you away from there and raise you, but my father's power was so scary, I couldn't take you. I'm sorry son, don't fight for you!” suddenly Kiano's father stopped his speech, he cried sobbing, his wife rubbed his back to calm down.
“Two years ago your grandfather was gone, so dad could pick you up to stay with dad, but you were so cold to dad, maybe they told you a no-no about dad. But really Kiano, I love you so much. Maybe you forgot the man who hugged you at your mother's funeral, that man was me, your father. Kiano, I know this video won't make amends for you, but I'm asking you to continue Ahmed's family business, as the only man of your descent. I love you so much, I'm sorry if Dad was gone before you came.”
Video is done. Kiano was silent staring at the screen with a blank look. Andi approached him and patted him on the shoulder.
“Kiano jerk!” grimacing, Andi undressed and was about to clean the part that was wet with tears, Rita came to him
“Sini sister, Rita alone cleans!” Rita picks up Andi's shirt, instead she gives him a white t-shirt
“Wear this first brother, until this shirt is dry!” Andi complies with Rita, she wears a white t-shirt and walks out of the bathroom.
Rita cleaned the clothes, then dried them in a hand dryer, then she returned to her seat. He saw Kiano who looked so devastated, then he patted Andi on the shoulder, to switch seats with him.
“Lo okay Ki?” reprimanding him, suddenly Kiano wants to get close to Rita and try to hug her as he did to Andi, Rita reflexes and slaps Kiano's cheek. It was not only Kiano who was shocked that Daniel and Andi were sitting behind him.
“Heh! I only brought 1 white shirt!” rita's scold
“Sick!” Kiano held her cheek red from Rita's slap, but it made her stop crying
“Sorry! Lo if you cry dirty, before me!” rita protest
“Gue sad Rit, Lo know I'm big without a father figure. The man I was once close to was bokap lo! When you move I am very sad, not only because of the loss of a friend but also a bokap figure. Make me bokap lo it's been my bokap Rit, really deh”
“Iya tauu,..keep how?”
“After 15 years someone has asked me to be my friend. For 2 years trying to approach me, pampering me with a lot of treasure. But keep Rit, my heart is empty onto him. He was just a stranger who asked to be called Dad. My thoughts changed, when I heard the story about Lo and dr.Reza. I was thinking of giving a second chance to my father, but now it's too late. Let me go forever. I'm Rit's orphan!”
“According to mourn Ki!, at least you have memories bokap Lo. video message that should not be lost, it's the last memory bokap Lo!”
“Iya, I'm lucky to have met my bokap yes, Lo at all yes Rit?”
“Actually, I've met my interview kog. Chat, spoiled same bokap. Enough already!”
“Hah? Can emang? Didn't Bokap Lo die when Lo was born?”
“Difficult if reported, surely Lo do not believe. But I am quite grateful for my current situation!” rita smiled
“hmm...If the girl Lo can be heartened, why am I not?”
“Nahh..gitu dong, back so absurd and passionate Kiano!” Rita pats Kiano on the back
“Aduhh, sick tofu, your blow still hurts!” Kiano
The flight attendant informed the landing, all passengers were prepared. The plane landed at IATA airport in United Arab Emirates International Airport
