Letter Revealing the Truth

At 22:00 WIB

All the children have entered their rooms, there is only Umma and someone who brought gifts this afternoon for the little brothers here.

Someone was sitting in the living room, reading a newspaper in the middle of the night while drinking warm tea made by umma.

Umma approached the person while carrying a small antique box of dark brown color.

"May I talk to you for a minute?" tanya umma approached her.

"By umma, what's up?" he folded the newspaper and put it on the side.

"I'd love to talk to you again like I used to, I want to convey a message delivered by Almh. your grandmother first," said umma.

"I mean umma?"

"I don't know what your heart is Ja, umma can only raise you with a shared affection for other children."

"Umma can not focus on one child only, but umma know the development of each of you children," continued umma again.

"Umma," she said.

"I want to ask you one thing before you open this box, is it okay?" tanya umma stared at Eja.

"Bo-can umma."

"What makes Valdo hate? Though he is currently the only family you have, are you jealous because umma is too careful?"

"If it is, I apologize sincerely from the heart," continued umma again.

Umma's eyes began to glaze over and Eja could only bow her head while holding her own hand.

The look of an upset face, the look of a vengeful face immediately appeared when umma mentioned the name of Valdo who was none other than his biological sister.

"I hate Valdo not because of umma" said Eja while bowed.

"What makes you hate Valdo?"

"Because Valdo was the cause of Mamah's death, the bankruptcy of the papah company and I don't know umma I don't know" explained Eja to umma.

Umma could only be silent, shocked? No, umma knows everything. It's just that umma is diving into his heart, because Spija is a stubborn child.

If he is asked in a loud tone then He will do the same thing and has been made sure not to get an answer.

"I hate Valdo. I used to want to have a younger brother but unfortunately I did not pray for Mamah. To be by my side forever and unfortunately I also do not pray like that to papah."

"Mamah died giving birth to her and many people say that she was the child who caused all of that."

"You want to know one important thing?" tanya umma to Eja.

Stare in hope and when Eja replies, "What is it?" Umma immediately gave the antique box belonging to the late grandmother.

"Open up, here's the key."

Umma gave a lock pendant necklace that Valdo used to wear when he was a child.

'It looks like this is a necklace that Mamah used and this necklace also seems to have Valdo used, ' said Spij in his heart.

His forehead shriveled full of question marks and his curious face appeared making umma more and more curious about the contents of Spij's heart actually.

Crutches..

Taps..

The antique box was open, letter by letter and old photos were there.

"Read, if you want to ask, I'll answer. When I finished reading it."

"mma? This is?"

"This is the box that your grandmother gave you when the three of us came to your father's funeral" she said.

Tap... ~ put the box on the table.

Srekk..

The most handsome granddaughter of oma,

I keep all the pictures of your old memories when he was young,

Look, isn't she just like your sister?

Don't scold Valdo, it's not a curse. It's just that the hereditary gene inherited from your guyut.

I hope you love Valdo forever and I love you always.

The first letter, a dark brown paper that has been worn and there is a photo tucked in the paper.

My granddaughter, maybe you're upset. Maybe you're upset, maybe you're sad.

But you should be proud because you can live well. Your parents took great pains to support you because they didn't want you to carry the same disease.

Your mother died not from giving birth to Valdo, but your mother died from melanoma cancer stage 4.

The doctors tried their best to save them both. But your mother is more relented because she does not want in the next life will trouble your father.

Your mother also told me that maybe I can't live with her (Eja, Valdo and Rio) but I will always be there watching you from an invisible place.

Take care of your sister, take care of our family. Do not let our family break, I entrust it to you Spell.

That's the message your mother gave me, I will always love you both

^^^Oma, 2000^^^

The second letter that Eja read was light blue and inside was a family photo when she was young.

'It looks like this is a photo of Oma when she was young with uyut and also Oma's sister who lives in Batam.' said Eja when looking at her picture

...----------------...

"So, I've been mean to Valdo all this time? Accusing her innocence for so many years, is she going to hate me now?" muttered.

"Where is Valdo now umma?" ask Eja while holding a letter and photo paper.

His hands were trembling, his eyes were glazed and his mind went nowhere.

It was on his mind that it would have happened a few months ago. Like a demon himself torturing his innocent sister.

The grudges made because of the words of the people he swallowed raw made him buried in the dark inclusivity.

"Umma doesn't know where Valdo is, since a few months ago he disappeared even his classmates don't know where Valdo is."

Degs..

'Is it possible that he suddenly disappeared because of me? Because of that time?' He wondered to himself.

As she began to get frustrated with the life she had lived all this time, Eja could only duck while ruffling her hair violently.

Umma could only calm him down, rub his shoulders and pull Spij into the warm embrace that umma used to give when she was little.

Tringg.. tryingg.. ~telfon office suddenly reads.

"Who calls nights like this?" ask umma.

"Let me umma lift up."

Tak..

"Hello" said someone behind the phone.

...----------------...

The next day, the,

The sound of takbir is heard everywhere, it may be heard in all corners of the earth.

"Dear dear for a moment, Brother Anir has left?"

"It's a lot."

"Okay, we're leaving now."

Crane.. crek.. ~ lock the door.

...~~[Umma Lisa Orphanage ]~...

All the children of the home wear white compact clothes on this Eid al-Fitr holiday. There was a sweet smile among the children.

Happy rails emanated clearly on the way to the nearest Mosque, while carrying sadjadah and mukena (for some women) in the hands of each child.

"Sit is neat all, do not be noisy when in the mosque," umma orders to his children.

"Ready umma."

Seriate...
