Santri Famiglia's

Identities

Sanubari released a hug and tilted his head. "Why go to Italy?"

"Of course to stay with your papa. There, papa you have a much nicer house," explained Kelana.

"I live in papa's house? With papa?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Sanubari turned around, looking at Sanum with a smile. "Mamak, we're moving into papa's house. Yay! I finally got my mom and dad. I can stay with my mom and dad. Yeye!"

Every word of Sanubari contains an expressive enthusiasm. Her joy spilled everywhere unstoppable.

With a forced smile, Sanum told his son, "Sanu, it seems like they are just taking you. I'll stay here."

Sanubari's happy expression suddenly turned sad. "I don't want to go without Mamak."

"Don't think too much of me! I'm sincere if Sanu wants to come with papa." The softness of Sanum to Sanubari never changes. He always covered his wounds well and showed more positivity to Sanubari. Sadly, it will not linger. Because he did not want to be a poison in Sanubari's mental development. That's how Sanum educated his son.

There's too much negativity out there attacking Sanubari. Sanum should be able to be a positive axis that is able to ward off all bad influences so that Sanubari is not depressed. Sanubari can still be cheerful until now thanks to his mother. Sanum becomes the only mother and best friend Sanubari has.

"What do you say, Madam? Of course you will come too. You are the wife of Lord Aeneas. There's no way Mr. Aeneas will let you live a life of deprivation here" Kelana said.

"Really, Uncle?" Sanubari.

"Yes." Yeah." Kelana nodded.

Sanum. Reality is not as bad as prejudice. However, he still could not guess the contents of Aeneas' heart. Unknowingly tears came down her cheeks.

"Why are you crying?" Sanubari was sad to see his mother like that as if their feelings were intertwined with each other.

"I'm just glad we can all get together again." Sanum wiped his tears.

Aeneas who witnessed Sanum like that was confused. Previously, Sanubari looked very cheerful. The boy hugged her too. That means the boy can accept himself as a father.

What Aeneas was less able to understand was Sanum. Sanum seemed to avoid face to face with him. Then suddenly looked at him with an expression that Aeneas had a hard time describing. Next, the woman smiled warmly and now she was crying. Aeneas could not guess the mindset of women.

"Perche lei sta piangendo?"

(Why is she crying?)

"Va tutto bene. Solo felice at conoscerti, quindi sta piangendo."

(It's okay. He just feels good to see you so cry.)

"Diglielo's! Sono anche contento di rivererlo's. Grazie per avermi date UN bel figlio. Scusa se non sono stato in grado in essere con lui."

(Tell him! I am also happy to see him again. Thank you for giving me such a handsome boy. I'm sorry I couldn't be with her all this time.)

Aeneas did not want Sanum to doubt him. After all, Aeneas should be able to bring the two of them. His future depends on his two Asian families.

"I'm hungry. Where's food?" Sanubari held onto the stomach whose filling was delayed.

Sanum opens the hood of saji. There are no more plates under it. He glanced at the plate in front of Aeneas. The plate is empty.

"The suit seems to be over. I'll buy it for a second!" sanum turned to Sanubari and looked at Aeneas and Kelana, "do you want too?"

Sanum doesn't have much money. The proceeds of its sale today can only be for sales capital as well as its food rations with Sanubari. But today he has a guest. He should have hosted his guests well. It's not good if he buys Sanubari food. While he let his guests just watch without a treat.

"The lady doesn't have to buy. Sorry we spent the cassava without permission." Shame to admit it.

"It's okay. I don't have anything I can offer you anyway. Then I'll just buy it for Sanu."

"You don't have to go alone! Preferably take securities such as deed, family card, ID card, marriage book and other letters! Chances are we'll need it to take care of some paperwork, so, make sure no one gets left behind! From today we will move. For clothes, no need to bring! We'll buy new food."

"Move right now?"

"Yes, there's no place to sleep here anyway. We've booked a more decent place for all of us. And again, I saw that it seemed like the environment here was less friendly for young master Sanubari. It'll be safer if you stay with us until the correspondence is over."

Sanum immediately retrieved the file Kelana was referring to. The files are neatly stored in a bag of used flour sacks. He checked. Everything is still complete. Including his marriage book with Aeneas and KTP. The photos contained there are indeed photos of Aeneas. However, the name listed is still in the name of Bari. Sanubari's birth certificate is still in Bari's name as a father.

This improper document made Sanum worried. He was afraid that going forward would make it difficult for Sanubari. Put it all on the table to show Kelana.

"All this is still in Bari's name. How'this? What if this discrepancy would later make Sanubari suspect as ******** or he becomes in trouble with the country?"

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it. Identity is just a formality. The state will not investigate one by one the status of its citizens as long as it does not commit violations of the law or entangled in cases. If you are still doubtful and worried, we will create a new identity for young master Sanubari. We can also make a formal application so that he is registered as a citizen and his existence is recognized by the state."

"It could be like that?" Sanum rounded his eyes.

Kelana smiles. He took the Indonesian ID card Aeneas. It exposes the ID to Sanum.

"You see this?" kelana said she pointed to Bari's name on a light blue rectangular sheet with a forefinger, "Lord Aeneas who is an Italian citizen alone can get a new identity as an Indonesian citizen. Why doesn't young master Sanubari?"

"Yes too." Sanum bowed down, scratching his non-itchy cheeks with his index finger.

"Identity is a free civil right that everyone has. Everyone is free to choose. Of course, management policies are different in each country. If the data is correct, Sanubari should now have dual citizenship. However, here the data of Mr. Aeneas who was mistakenly recognized as Indonesian. So you could say Sanubari is a single citizen now. For now, let it stay like this then let him determine his own identity once his age is enough!"

Wrong data can be corrected. Unwanted names can be changed. Citizenship can be chosen. As long as it does not conflict with applicable law, the state will not obstruct a person's request to obtain his or her rights. This law still applies in this era.

Feeling like talking too much. At the end of the explanation and then say a more soothing sentence. "The bottom line is none of this is a problem. Young master Sanubari will still be able to get guaranteed education even if the data is wrong. Just relax!"

"Sanubari can go to school again?"

"Yes, but he has to learn a language and some basic knowledge first. Once he is capable enough, he will be educated in public school. This has all been in Mr. Aeneas' planning. Young master Sanubari still needs to learn to interact. Home schooling with the assistance of a choice teacher can indeed help him absorb the theory. However, home schooling will not help much in its social development. Applied science needs practice to learn it."

While Kelana has a serious discussion with Sanum, Sanubari picks up a dagger and runs to the backyard. Not long after, he entered the house with a cassava tree.

"Uncle, Papa, Mamak, may ya, I take this cassava tree trunk to Italy?" tanya Sanubari.
