THE BARA OF THE PAST

One Truth Must Be Delivered

At the same time, the place that most wanted to visit became the most painful place. Eva never thought that on the night of her son's proposal alone, she was insulted by the candidate so much.

For the sake of Devano, the slender-bodied woman was forced to hold back. Only Ridwan understood this situation. Must be her brother was hurt by something. His memory broke through twenty-six years ago. 

Ridwan did not not know the weight of the burden of the brother. Since childhood Ridwan has been accustomed to caring for his only sister. Ridwan becomes the first to know when Eva becomes pregnant with the irresponsible man of their neighbor. Ridwan also had time to find the cowardly young man to Jakarta, but the young man seemed to disappear from the face of the earth. 

"Wan, you just have to help Teteh, between Teteh Bi Sumi's house, as soon as possible" Eva said when she realized her stomach was starting to grow. Both her parents did not know she was pregnant.

"Don't mind, Tea. Bi Sumi the masseuse in the village next door, right? Tetah has no right to hinder humans who will be born into the world. Whatever will happen, Iwan will always take care of Teteh and the child who will be born later. Sok, Teteh sing calm his mind."

Ridwan tries to calm Eva down. It worked for a while. However, when their father found out, Eva did not escape the slap of her father, Ridwan put on the body. 

"If the family itself is hostile, how can Teteh survive, sir? You want to kill Teteh?" Two different-aged men clashed with views. Slowly his father's hand came down. Ridwan hugged his brother, saying everything would be fine. Ridwan just graduated High School. 

After that, Ridwan often saw Eva trying to escape from the house, but with a swift Ridwan always managed to bring his brother home. One afternoon, her father introduced Dedi Supriatna as Eva's future husband. Marriage should be very simple.

Though not a perfect husband, Dedi treats Eva well. Ridwan often caught Eva crying near the well when her brother drew water, Ridwan knew that the cry was a regret for having done wrong, not because Eva got bad treatment from her husband.

Eva always tried to hide her cries, although many times Ridwan provided her shoulders. Until tonight they are silent and only speak through the cry and embrace of a sister to her brother. 

The next morning, Ridwan and Eva agree to tell the reality they have been hiding from Devano. The three of them sat in a circle in the dining room chair. Devano was prepared to think he would hear the advice about marriage. His forehead frowned when he heard Ridwan start to convey something. 

"I mean Uncle talking about real dad? Dad's Dedi?" tanyanya wants to know.

"Not Dev, your real father is not Dedi's father. All this time we kept one name that we would tell you when you were about to get married," said Ridwan slowly as if afraid to hurt his nephew's feelings. Devano could not cover up his shock. His eyes were round in disbelief. 

"Your birth father is called Baskoro. Baskoro Setyadi's. Dedi Supriatna is not your real father, but loves you like his biological son."

Ridwan was busy looking for a way to keep Devano from being shocked to hear this news. As Devano deserves to know his real father, he also has the right to be angry because he has just been told now. 

"Is father ... Baskoro is alive?" his tan was stammered after quietly confining them for a while. Devano looked at her mother's face as she turned her hands around. Istighfar's words came out of his mouth many times, and Eva spoke Hamdalah. The reaction of Devano's anger that he feared did not occur. 

"Uncle doesn't know if he's alive or dead. His family moved out of the village decades ago. Reportedly they all moved to Jakarta," replied Ridwan while drinking tea in front of him to overcome nervousness.

For some reason, delivering this news was like having someone else take medicine, but he also felt bitter. 

"Did mom keep her picture? Dev wants to see father's face," Devano pinta clasped his mother's hand. Clear details dripped on Eva's cheek. His one load was lifted, but the corner of his heart felt slouched. Bemoan. 

Slowly Eva picked up a thick book that was inside the closet drawer where she kept the glassware in the living room. He sat back down and handed a black and white photo to Devano. 

A photo of a young man with a face similar to himself in an old version. Thick eyebrows, a pointed nose, and a split chin were completely similar to him. Worth it when looking at the photo of Dedi's father, Devano felt there was nothing similar. Another similarity is the angle of the lips that are raised thinly when smiling. 

"Do I have to look for him, Uncle?" 

"I hope Uncle and Mom understand, maybe this is a sign that Baskoro's father should be present at my wedding. Please Uncle, please give me as much info as possible so I know where to look for dad." 

Ridwan and Eva looked at him for a moment. 

"Let's tell you what, Uncle's gonna help you find your dad. You focus on marriage. This business let Uncle handle. How's it?" 

Devano looks doubtful. He is desperate to find his father who is still alive. His mind was disturbed by something.

"Mom, can you tell me everything without anything to hide? Dev deserves to know, Mom." Devano looked at his mother who was looking down.

"Mom definitely wouldn't let Dev find Baskoro's father without a full body of information." Devano said that with great pressure. Eva raised her face, the pair of my eyes were again flooded with tears.

The atmosphere at Liodra Moda boutique looks crowded. Some visitors are busy choosing dresses. The accessories area is also visited by many customers. The boutique location is adjacent to the campus, so Liodra takes advantage of this opportunity to rent kebaya, complete with make up energy.

Liodra works with MUA professionals who he brings when there are customers in need. This afternoon MUA Dayana who came to the boutique to test make up for some customers and boutique owners who want to get married of course. 

"Gue want the flawless, you make make up no make up, for my eyes want soft smokey eyes, so that you must seriously work is the eye part. If the rest I believe in you, Dayana."  

"Every sister Liodra, sister is beautiful, want to be made up any model must be the result is very beautiful. Sorry, please crumple for a moment." Dayana begins to scratch Liodra's eyelids. 

Dayana is very detailed and expert in eye makeup affairs to be very prominent and interesting.

Liodra looked at himself in front of the mirror. Occasionally his hands tidied up his eyelashes. He had already imagined his appearance on the most sacred day.

The long white dress she wanted was being completed by Sashi's team. The hotel and decorations are booked. In order to save money, Liodra does not use the services of a Wedding Organizer.

As he promised, he did not want to burden his parents with such an expensive fee. But her mother acted first. All preparations have been handed over to the renowned WO.

"Princess sorry to interrupt for a moment, there are some files that must be signed with WO. Can I have a signature for a second?" Marcela came to hand over the dossier Liodra signed immediately. 

"This other one is for boutique licensing management, there are some that must be updated because it will soon be expired" Ela said while looking at Liodra. Again Liodra signed the dossier presented to him.

"Wow, Dayana you're so cool. Just make up the eyes, Princess already looks stunning! Just you guys!" Ela praised the results of Dayana's makeup while tidying up the file in front of Liodra that had been signed. Ella quickly pulled the file. 

"Hi brides-to-be see this, surprise wedding dress is ready! Stay last fitting, later after make up!" 

Sashi enters the make-up room while carrying the dangling white dress Liodra was waiting for. The opportunity was used by Ela to get out of the makeup room while smiling triumphantly.
