Secret of the Heart

He's My Papa

Kia's family's house at 8am, at breakfast Mama told me that it's two days away Bena's son Andi's birthday. I was disappointed that I might have gone home to work.

"Today will be celebrated in Lala orphanage already order food boxes and goody-bags to be shared," explained Mama.

"What time is Ma's show?" ask me while eating.

"It'll be around 1 o'clock" Mama replied.

"Yes...Kia can Ma, the afternoon just go home later Kia order her cake," I said as I stood up from the table took a cell phone and ordered a birthday cake for Bena and Beny.

Though Lala had ordered but I still wanted to order too because I now have no gift for them. To buy it here I'm so lazy to go out.

Before long came two little boys who were one very centile, he was Bena.

"Mama Kia, Bena's birthday today," she shouted as she hugged me.

And the other one Beny the quiet child but washed away, he also immediately hugged me while laughing happily. Lala just laughed at the behavior of her twins and sat at the dining table while taking the bread at the table.

"Oma and Opa you didn't come?" I asked Bena.

"Tomorrow Mama and Papa come, there is his wife Kak Ari also said to give birth in Balikpapan," replied Lala.

"Aahhhhhhhhh....Kia has come home Om same Aunt even came," lamented me.

"Aren't you moving here?" ask Lala.

"There was someone who filled his post two months ago, I was late" I replied, lowering Bena from my sling.

Bena and Beni then play with Papa in the middle room, I help Lala compile a goody-bag into the box that will be brought later in the afternoon.

"Andy's not coming?" I asked Lala.

"It will be noon after the break if you can go home if you can't, what to do" Lala replied.

"Later the box at 12 was delivered directly to the venue" Mama told Lala.

"Don't be less La, you'll be embarrassed" I said.

"Have Kia double-message, do you want to add more?" ask Lala.

"Add more, let a lot be okay later if there are those who do not feel sorry," I replied.

Lala then ordered another rice box like I said. I see the twins are very happy especially Bena the centil.

"Mama Kia...then Bena wear this huh?"

Bena came and brought my lipstick, she smiled at the lipstick. I laughed at her adorable behavior and I hugged her.

"Geez, whose child this is small has wanted to dance," I said with a laugh.

She even opened and applied lipstick on her bibirmya. Lala was very angry and told Bena to put back the lipstick she took but instead of putting Bena instead ran away from Lala.

We arrived at an orphanage turned out to be a lot of children who had been waiting in front of the parlour hall. Apparently Mama had told the manager that there would be a birthday event here.

Bena looks very happy he is the most enthusiastic while Beny remains with his silent attitude just hugging my Papa who also comes along. While Andi has not come maybe soon Lala said when I asked.

Bena looks beautiful with a pink dress shirt while Beny wears a green shirt. Bena chose a party themed Little Ponny, all ornaments pictured Ponny figures and cake is also decorated Apple jack favorite Bena.

While the Benny cake that I ordered this morning was pictured Benny's favorite character, Ben 10, according to Benny's green clothes. Beny also looks very happy when the cake is placed on the table and screams calling the name of the character in the cake.

"Teen..teen...teen...."

Beny exclaimed with excitement while Bena was busy with Lala because her clothes were a bit tangled. I'm the one keeping Beny so Lala and I'm like having one child each. My mother was amused to see us busy with the twins. Before long Andi came and the show began, it was festive to see the children of the orphanage were very happy. My mother had prepared money to share with them and they looked very happy.

"This is the beauty of sharing" said Mama, smiling at me.

I looked at an old photo that was plastered on the wall of the orphanage office room.

"Eh...Kia, don't eat with the kids there?" ask Mother of the orphanage.

I know Mother of the orphanage very well, although not often here first when my birthday High School is always celebrated here.

"Now Kia has been successful, find a partner so later her child's birthday is celebrated here," said Mother of the orphanage while telling me to sit on the sofa.

"It is not yet the soul mate of Mother" I said to Mother because I called her Mother.

"Or do not want to open the heart, already.Don't be too late in the past, Kia deserves to be happy," said Mother while holding my hand.

I looked at the photos hanging on the wall, I was interested in a photo that was worn out. There were a few children there, who were dressed in blue t-shirts that caught my attention.

"Who is this Mother?" I asked while looking at Mother who was standing next to me.

"That's Sajad Mother's child, her mother died when she was 3 years old, it's Mother's son who has been successful now," jawsb Mommy.

"That's the only photo left behind all exhausted in the flames when the fire first," continued Mother.

I then clearly looked again at the photo, like there was a familiar feeling when I saw the child.

"They're all grown up now, Kia's age," Mother said with a smile.

I nodded and then Mama came to call me and told me that the show was over. I immediately asked Mother's permission to return to the twins' birthday event.

I walked down the hallway of the parlour on the road to the event venue. A young boy of about 8 years old was sitting on a bench under a tree. I walked up to him, astonished that the other children were in the Hall celebrating the birthday of my nieces Bena and Beny.

But he looked sad as he bowed he rubbed his shoes on the ground as if he was agitated and his face looked sad as if he was about to cry.

"Is there anything you're waiting for, baby?" I asked slowly while looking at his face.

"Yes.waiting for Papa," he answered.

My heart immediately felt pain to hear the answer, the boy was waiting for his father to come.

"Let's go in, celebrate the birthday," take me to her.

He shook his head and said he wanted to wait for his father. I couldn't force it and I smiled as I stroked her head and walked into the twins' birthplace.

We're going home soon, I told Mama and Papa to come with Andi because there's something I want to see after this. Mama and Papa go home first with Lala and Andi because the twins look tired the Bena even started crying because of chatter and Lala rushed home.

I'm still around the yard wanting to say goodbye to the mother of the parlour . Suddenly, a car drove out of the orphanage parking lot. I looked up because I knew the car.

But I didn't see who was driving because the glass was closed. I immediately entered the office and say goodbye to Mother of the orphanage, Mother was very happy and prayed that I would be happy later.

When I came out I saw the boy who had been pensive in the bench under the tree standing in front of the yard. But this time his face was overjoyed as if he had gotten what he wanted.

I got curious and approached her and smiled while patting her on the shoulder. He also smiled cheerfully at me then he said what made me happy.

"I've met Papa."

"Well, why don't you go with your dad?" manya curious.

Why didn't her dad bring her, I wondered if she had a stepmom who didn't like her.

"Papa has to work so I can't come" he replied slowly.

"I'm just a foster child" she explained to me.

Only I found out after he said that he was appointed by a man called Papa but that man had to work anyway that man did not have a wife. The boy explained it to me until I understood the background of everything.

He then took a picture in his pocket and showed it to me.

"This is my father, he came here to see me" said the boy, laughing happily at me.

I saw the photo he gave me how surprised I was that the person in the photo was Miko. I immediately saw the photo again to make it clearer and it turned out to be true that she was Miko. Then the car I saw leaving was Miko's.

"This is your father, how long has he been your father?" manya curious.

"It's been five years since my parents left me at home" he replied, looking at me.

I went straight with the boy and headed straight for Miko's house. But Miko was not in the house where she lived and I waited for who knows Miko to come in a moment but it turned out that until almost afternoon Miko did not show up even though I had to prepare to go home because tomorrow had started enter office.

I left in a state of disappointment because I could not meet Miko. Can't add any more permission because if I do, Santi can nag me from morning until afternoon. I will try to ask Luthfi only later I thought while driving the car home.

***********

**It turns out little by little Kia already knows Miko's secret, but this is not how later in the next episode we will open again.

** "Help me this time, so my girlfriend for a minute huh, hug me now," I asked as I looked at her expectantly.
