The Enchantment of the Secretary

Part 1 - The Bitter Reality

In the dictionary of my life, there is no word 'stop in the middle of the road' aka surrender, no matter how heavy the storm hit and make me fall many times. That's where I got up stronger and tried to survive the storm, to find a bright spot.

Will all this be passed by me??

I don't know, I can only look straight ahead prepared and alert about what I'm going to face going forward. I just have to fight and fight, to achieve what I have always wanted..

"You're nothing more than a child who's brought bad luck to this family, if you know it's gonna be like you don't want to have a daughter like you!!",

"I also did not ask to be born and become a father's child", replied his son with a flat face and immediately looked away.

"Damn. The child does not know himself!!", he said.

But Sersi did not mengubris again, he immediately turned his body and melengos went out of the house and closed the door loudly.

Braaac..

Again, Sersi was at odds with his father for no apparent reason. Sersi did not make a fatal mistake, but was always enlarged by the man called the father. He was always called the son of a pesky bearer, and the curse that made the woman was destroyed instantly. Only she was treated indifferently by her parents, until she grew up to become an apathetic and stubborn woman because her parents were always rude to her for years.

****

At that time, little Sersi was playing with his brother in his yard. Little Sersi who wears a suit with a picture of hello kitty laughs cheerfully, when her brother dances funny in front of her. Sersi's sister is a man who has a pretty handsome face, fair skin, hazel eyes, and, a sharp nose and a sturdy jaw make the 15-year-old look handsome despite his young age. The two of them played cheerfully that afternoon, without burden and joy. Without them knowing that danger is coming soon.

When the brother and sister Sersi were busy playing, came a group of men dressed all in black and large height walked over to the adryan and sersi who were playing. Their faces looked fierce, cold, and fierce that was what the two brothers' eyes saw.

"Where's your dad boy!?!!" said one of the men in black clothes,

Instantly the two children were aghast in fear, shocked by their arrival and shocked by the clasping of the person. Adryan and Sersi approached each other, adryan protected Sersi by hugging Sersi tightly fearing his sister was injured. And Adryan answered with fear.

"Do you want this same father?!" adryan said to the man who spoke.

"You brat don't get pretentious, you're just a kid. I just need your dad!!" answer the rogue man.

And shortly thereafter, came John who was the father of adryan and sersi. Because John heard a noise outside, so John who was busy working rushed out to check.

And when he came out, he saw his two children hugging each other because of fear of the people - all dressed in black who number more than 30 people. John, clenching his hands and jaws hardened, saw this scene.

"Would you come to my house, are you alfonso's man?!!" john's words rose an octave and his face flushed red with anger emanating from his eyes.

"Yes, we're Mr. alfonso's men. We're just here to take you, if you don't act, it'll be safe. If you fight back you know what it's going to be like" replied the man who had a burn on his face.

"I wouldn't give up on alfonso, don't expect you to take me to see him. Because at any time, my company will not be given!!", cried John to them.

And John ran at them, trying to beat them brutally. There was a scene of a jotos fight between john and the men dressed all in black fiercely, beaten john very dexterously and quickly in giving raw bogem to the criminals.

One of them plans a crazy idea to get John destroyed. One of them from alfonso's man, suddenly pulled out his gun and aimed at john who was fighting and...

Dorr.. Dorr.. Dorr..

Three shots hit John's left arm, thigh and heel. Instantly, John collapsed, along with Savira who had just come out of the house because he heard gunshots. Savira screamed hysterically when she saw her husband fall.

"Johnnnn" shouts of savira echoed.

Savira approached the fallen john, savira crying at the battered state of her husband and bleeding from gunfire. Seeing that, alfonso's men just smiled laughing at John who they managed to torture.

"At least you are suffering Mr. John, for refusing to give your company to our great lord.

After that he alfonso's men put a gun to John's head and the trigger was ready to be pulled. Shortly before the trigger was pulled, Adryan ran towards his father's john. The boy wants to protect his father, Adryan doesn't want his father to be wretched. Until he ran and

Dorr..

The hot lead bullet went through, hitting Adryan's back. John who saw that, was shocked not to suspect that his son would protect him. John gasped when he saw his son was shot and his back began to drip fresh blood.

"Yes, ", only one word came out of Adryan's lips before the boy fell off, and collapsed before John. Savira who saw that, was really shocked by what she saw. A moment later, Savira shouted and hugged her blood-soaked son while crying bitterly.

That poignant memory always just flashed in the brain of the sergeant, like a movie spinning in his brain. In his memory, the little sergeant who saw all that could only be silent and did not understand what situation was happening at that time.

Sersi who was walking carelessly would either go where, continue to walk while remembering the tragic moment nan poignant.

From that moment on, his life changed. He no longer gets the affection of his parents, brother and other good things. Since then, her brother has become paralyzed and unable to walk and do anything. Although his life was saved, but the effects of the shot that hit his back made the bone structure destroyed. And that's the cause, John's anger at Sersi.

"You should have died, Sersi!!", the remark was ringing in Sersi's ears to this day.

The woman continued to walk without direction, not wanting to remember anything and did not want to go home because her mood was no longer good.

Long as he walks around town, Sersi decides to go see his friend Cindy. At this time, Sersi needs a friend to vent and a comfortable place to calm himself and forget for a moment the pain he feels. Finally, Sersi stopped the taxi and went to his friend's residence.

30 Minutes passed, sersi until the residence of a simple but full of warmth cindy. At least this place is very cool and soothing even though small, unlike his large home but filled with an aura of hatred. There is no longer a word of harmony, in his family at this time.

Sersi stepped towards Cindy's house, and walked towards the door and knocked on her.

"Hello", the first, second, third, fourth knock then someone opens the door.

"Hi, you're finally here, too. Come on in, my mom's done cooking. We had lunch together" Cindy said.

"OK, thanks", that's all that came out of Sersi's pretty mouth. And he also stepped foot into the house Cindy who impressed 'warm'.

"Eh, you're Sersi. Come on in, we'll eat together. I just finished cooking. Come on Cindy, bring your friend here." take Cindy's mother kindly.

Sersi smiled sweetly and nodded.

"Yes, ma'am, thank you. I'm sorry to be repotin nimbrung eat here," he said not tasty. The timing is very fitting with him who is hungry now, it just so happens that he has not eaten anything from the house earlier. Due to the emotional rush with his father, the atmosphere of the house is not so comfortable.

"It's okay - it's not a hassle, like anyone. Precisely miss you rarely play here now. Cindy Kasian has no friends, son." he said. Sersi, Cindy and her mother are sitting together at the dinner table.

"Yes ma'am, I'm too busy working these endings. So can not play here often - often, right while in college also mom. Rarely have time to spare." he replied, Sersi was more comfortable calling mother to Cindy's mother. Because she already thinks of Cindy's mother as her mother too. And they look familiar, even Sersi and Cindy look like big sister. Although from different parents, because of the closeness of their friendship is very close.

Sersi took the rice and side dishes, after Cindy and Cindy's mother finished taking the food. Finally they had lunch together. While chatting lightly, telling about work problems, and activities on campus. Sersi can laugh and forget the problem for a moment at home, because in this house he feels comfortable, and there is a family warmth that he feels. Unlike his home, there was only violence and hatred emitted from his parents. I don't know for what reason anyone doesn't know?

It really changed drastically their treatment then and now, making sometimes Sersi scream heartache feel unwanted. What exactly is he wrong?

It feels like just to disappear from the world, so as not to bear this sadness and the burden of life is very heavy.

Skips

Sersi and Cindy are in Cindy's room. The two of them were both lying in bed, one reading a book of teenage fiction novels. And one was busy drawing sketches of dress designs, Cindy was obsessed with pictures - pictures of beautiful wedding dresses. He was very happy to draw, there were even dozens of designs that he drew in his picture book.

Because his dream is to become a famous designer.

While Sersi Anteng read the book in his hand, and until finally Sersi stopped reading and turned his seat into a bedside. He looked down, and thought hard. Should he be told that novel?

The main character is the same - equally persecuted, and the character went away from his family because he did not want to feel anymore heartache and so that his family did not consider him a burden again.

Yep. He had to go like that, that's what they didn't want. His whereabouts are no longer expected, Sersi decided to leave Sicily and go to a new country. London is a good choice.

After all, Sersi has long dreamed of going there for a vacation. But the good thing is, London is no longer a vacation spot. But as his new abode, let him live alone but his heart is calm.

Unlike now, which every day is tangled and collapsed because it continues - the canal is fought by his own family. Except for her brother who hasn't changed since, still loves her.

Sersi turned her body, and sat down so facing Cindy. Cindy, who was busy struggling with her pencil and paper, turned to Sersi.

"Why Ser? I think it's a tangle that's a face, huh?" ask Cindy to re-color the picture. She was designing a beautiful light burgundy purple dress.

"Cin, I think I'm going to get out of the house" he said.

Cindy raised her eyebrows, astonished by the decision Sersi had just made.

"Huh? Seriously? If you're out of the house to move and live where?" ask Cindy, save her drawing kit and take a pillow and she puts it on her lap. Facing Sersi who seems to be starting a vent session. Cindy is a good listener if Sersi is sad, and a good advisor if Sersi is feeling angry and emotional if he has no direction.

"Go to London" he replied spontaneously.

"What!! To London, Sersi are you serious? London is very far from Sicily, and you have no relatives there. You'll be living there alone." Cindy said she was worried. Why did his best friend choose a place so far away, why not just move cities. It's even moved country.

Sersi breathed heavily and was tired.

"Cindy better stay alone and work to support myself. Rather than here, at my parents' house but at a step-parent's house. They don't want me now, they want to go. So I wanted to get out of there, grant their wish." she took a breath.

"After all, I'm tired of feeling hurt and always being bullied by my father. Maybe I was a burden to them, even though I never asked for money because I worked alone. Yes, I'm sure I've been determined to move to London alone." he said seriously.

Cindy put on her sad face.

"You seem serious about your decision. I do not forbid you, because you also have the right to be happy and choose your own way of life. Your parents are too much for Sersi" he said.

"But I'm sad, my best friend will go far." at last. Cindy put on a sad look, but yeah how. Pity also lives Sersi.

"Just calm down, I'll always call you Cin. We are friends, I will never forget you" he said stretching out his arms.

And Cindy hugged Sersi, the two women hugged full of sad atmosphere. Because Cindy is sad to know Sersi is moving to London, and Sersi is also sad to leave her best friend from childhood. But how else, his determination was round. And he wants to get out of the house, which torments his mind like hell.

"When are you moving there?" ask Cindy.

"Tomorrow." he replied.

"When is Sersi? You have savings for life there?" asked Cindy who was shocked by the answer Sersi gave.

"Yes, tomorrow I'll fly to London. I'll buy the tickets online tonight. I've been thinking about that, I think my savings during my 4 years of work here is enough to survive there. Before I get a new job." she replied.

"Yes, heart of heart. Tomorrow I'll take you to the airport, tell me not to forget. It will be sad for me!" said.

Cup..

"Don't dong! Later if you have settled with your study, you can directly follow me there. We live there together. Okay?!" said Sersi gives spirit to this one and only friend.

Cindy smiled, then nodded.

"Okay, we're going to start a career in that country. And I'll be a famous designer later, you'll have good luck there too" Cindy said.

"Oh, I hope, thank you." .

Finally the two women, chatting to each other reminiscing about the times where always the road together. Where are the two, rich sister who is very sticky. And now, they tell each other that Sersi has arrived in London. What plans he plans.

Until finally, it did not feel like the day was almost at night. When it showed at half-six in the afternoon, Sersi said goodbye to Cindy and her mother to go home. That afternoon Sersi returned to his home, to immediately start packing his goods for tomorrow departing for the airport and flying to London.

'sersi's inner 'waiting me London' spoke, and a feeling of freedom began to overwhelm him.
