The Desire Tarnished

That photo

Katrina squirmed, her eyes looking for the source of the voice she heard. There was a suitcase bag in the corner of the room, but Katrina did not see Wine.

Katrina got up from her sleep and sat down, the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Wine, is that you son?"

Katrina screamed, but there was no sound from inside the bathroom. Katrina memorized the character of Wine, she prefers to shut herself up whenever there is a problem. Long Katrina stood in front of the bathroom door, not even the door was open.

Katrina recalls a time when she had to struggle to get away from the man who had made her life a mess.

"Stupid, find Cakra to see you!"

The man threw his cell phone against the wall until it was destroyed.

Katrina tried not to make a sound, so that she would not be found out. Then the man walked out of his study.

Katrina was sneaking around, looking outside to make sure the man had really left. Then Katrina saw Heru opening the fence, a luxury car sped out.

Katrina peeked out of the windowpanes, and saw Heru who was walking hastily and then walked into the house.

"Gru!"

"I'm sorry my mistress is a little late, because I'm afraid of getting caught. These are the letters the Madam needs."

"I understand this is hard to believe, Madam!"

"I've made sure if the person is right not Mr. Cakra, said Heru.

It's best that madam leave this place soon!

KreKKkkp.

Katrina flinched from her daydream, the bathroom door opened, as Wine stood right in front of her.

"Dear."

Katrina hugged Wine tightly.

"I'm sorry, Wine!"

"Wine's big, mami!"

"Wine wants to know the truth!"

Tears so profusely soaked her cheeks, Katrina wiped the tears on her daughter's cheeks.

"Mami will tell you everything, but give your mom time for it!", Katrina said.

Wine took his briefcase and opened it, and now the photograph was in his hand.

"Tell me about who's in this photo, right if this is papi?"

Katrina nodded her head, wiping away her tears.

Katrina looked at her beautiful daughter's face, she couldn't stand it when her eyes clashed. All over his body felt limp, he realized that Wine was now no longer a child. But Katrina could not tell Wine the truth. An atomic bomb is about to explode that will destroy him and his daughter if he tells the truth, while he did not know how to explain who he really is and how to explain to his daughter. All that remains is a deep pain.

"Mommy, is papi still alive?" ask Wine.

Katrina stroked the beautiful hair of long wine draped. Her tears fell, staring at her daughter, her lips trembling as a word was hard to say.

"Yes, he's alive!" katrina replied in an inaudible voice.

"Tell me where papi is, mih!"

"One day my mother will take you to meet her" Katrina said.

"A moment, you mean mih?"

"Why not now or tomorrow?"

"No dear!"

"Why? please explain, mih!"

"Enough wine!!!"

Katrina screamed then cried sobbing as her body collapsed to the floor.

"Mommy!!!"

Wine tried to lift Katrina's body and put it on her lap.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

There was a door that was not tightly closed was knocked, Mother Kos had stood in front of the door and then entered.

"Catrina!"

Rossi tried to resuscitate by applying eucalyptus oil to Katrina's nose. A moment later Katrina seemed to have regained consciousness.

"Your mami is soy sauce, you better let it rest first" said Rossi.

"Wine!!"

Katrina tried to sit up.

"Yes, mih!"

"Rest, forgive Wine yes, mih!!!"

Wine hugged Katrina tightly, and vice versa, the embrace was so deep.

The morning began to show his writh, it was time for Katrina to get ready to go home. Katrina tidied things up and put them in her tote bag. Clearly there was still a hue of tension and sadness in her heart, if not for a job, maybe Katrina would have been accompanying Wine even longer at her boarding house.

"You sure don't go with your mom" Katrina said.

"No mami" said Wine.

Katrina exited the room followed by Wine, with Katrina slowly descending the stairs. Her feet felt heavy stepping to leave her daughter. While his best friend, Rossi who is none other than the boarding mother of his son, has been waiting for him below.

"Let me take you to the airport, it just so happens that my husband is off today" Rossi said.

"But I ordered a taxi" Katrina said.

Katrina looked at the princess, her hands holding each other.

"Let me know if mommy has arrived" Wine said.

Before long, the taxi arrived and Katrina hugged her daughter, it was hard to part. But he has to come back. Katrina waved her hand but her smile still looked flat, the hue of that extremely tired and tired face was clearly visible. A taxi car drove Katrina to the airport.

Wine returned to his room, heard his phone ringing, seen on the call screen from Vishnu.

* Hello, dear Vishnu from there.

* May I speak to your mother, dear?

* Just left for the airport, Wine said.

* I would love to meet you to propose.

Wine knot smile expands.

*After coming home from the office later in the afternoon I'm going to your boarding house, don't go anywhere!!

* Okeh, I'm waiting

The call ended and Wine put the phone back on his desk and laid down his body.

Tok Tok Tok tok

"Who?"

Shouted Wine who had just laid his body on the bed.

"Dorrr!!"

"Let's not like daydreaming" said Melda while sitting on the bedside.

"You're on a short semester?" ask Wine.

"Yes, usually fix my bad grades" said Melda.

"Where's your mom?"

"Home home" said Wine.

"Then to my house yuk!" soon my driver will come to pick me up" said Melda.

"Other times Melda, I have a promise with Vishnu this afternoon," said Wine.

" A fun yes, who has been made, the innate kangen only, met only," said Melda while pinching her best friend's waist.

Melda's phone rang.

"My driver is in front of the boarding house, I go home first Yes Wine," Melda said as she stepped out of the room leaving Wine still lying on her bed.

Today Wine just wants to rest let go of his tiredness and try to forget his problem until waiting for Vishnu to pick him up later in the afternoon. But the view of Wine was empty as he stared at the ceiling of his boarding room, recalling what he had told him last night. But the figure of omah appeared to be a question mark in his heart, "Why is omah so angry that he hates me?" whispered Wine in the heart.

It is very difficult for Wine to understand from the series of events experienced so far. With the attitude and treatment of omah against him, but there must be something very big that is not yet known, especially about the silence of omah against him, certainly not without reason. Wine tried to remember the figure of his papi, although only a thin memory lingered in his mind. Trying to remember the look on his face.

The longing is always present, when little Wine always spends his days, playing, laughing cheerfully with him. All of a sudden all of that cheerfulness disappeared, no more of his papa figure accompanied him to play, only a longing awaited him to wait for him to come back. Wine's tears fell unfeelably having drenched his cheeks, in his hand still holding the photo. The same photo as the one hanging from his best friend's house.

"Do I have to tell Mami if she actually knows where papi is? but is it possible that Melda's father is her father as well? he murmured in the heart.

So much hope, to meet soon. 14 years is not a short time in a longing. So much has changed with time. "Did you admit it as his son?" Will Melda and her sisters be able to accept Wine as her siblings?" so many questions filled his head.

Mami's words back in her ear that one day mami will bring her together. What the hell is going on? What made her part with her papa? what problem really happened? Does it have anything to do with omah's attitude towards her.

"I have to investigate it myself" he murmured inwardly.
