The Love of the Unknown Man
31 Pusara
Lisa stood staring at the two manicured-looking pusara. There was even a bouquet of flowers that had withered above the navel.
A sign that a few days ago there was someone who placed flowers on the tomb of Lisa's father and mother and it may be that person who always took care of Lisa's parents' grave during her stay in the city.
Lisa decided to replace the withered flowers with a bouquet of fresh flowers. Alternately, Lisa's beads of eyes stare at the tombstone carving the names of father and mother.
“Dad, Mom, I'm home. Forgive me for only now that I visited the graves of father and mother.”
The corner of Lisa's eyes had now paused and her voice was starting to sound hoarse.
“But the names of father and mother are always in every prayer I pray.”
Lisa sobbed, she quickly wiped away the trail of tears drenching her cheeks. Then he forced her to laugh while taking out her college diploma.
Lisa shows her diploma to the graves of father and mother. Suppose both parents can see the writing on the piece of paper.
“Dad, Mom, look! It's my diploma. I got the best score,” said Lisa as much as possible to hold sobs so as not to cry.
Then, Lisa took out another piece of paper from her bag.
“And this is my license to practice as a doctor. Now I've become a doctor like I've dreamed of.”
Tears can't hold Lisa anymore. He also spilled all the feelings in his heart.
The feeling of happiness because his dreams are achieved, the feeling of longing for both parents, but the most dominating is the feeling of sadness because the father and mother do not see Lisa who is now a doctor.
Lisa cried for a long time in front of her parents' grave. Unwittingly a woman photographed Lisa from a distance and the photo was sent to Gustav.
Miles away, Gustav, who was in a meeting with an important client, suddenly turned his attention to an incoming message.
Gustav's pupils widened when he saw the photo showing Lisa crying in front of the navel of her two masters.

Lisa walked home with heavy steps, all the way she just lowered her head until she arrived at the front yard of the house.
Lisa's forehead shriveled when she saw a foreign car parked in front of her house and the frown on Lisa's forehead became clearer as soon as the car owner came out.
Lisa's eyes widened as the woman she recognized as Edgar's wife got out of the car and smiled at her. A series of questions popped up in Lisa's mind.
And the question he was most curious about was why did the woman come to the house?
“Halo, I'm Gwen. Can I go inside?” said Gwen reached out because Lisa had been on the spot.
Lisa was a little jumped and her cheeks met red with shame caught in the middle of daydreaming. Then Lisa nodded her head awkwardly and led Gwen into the house.
For a moment Gwen took off her sunglasses, spread her eyes across the room, then threw down her buttocks to sit on a sofa when Lisa came from the kitchen with a drink.
The two beautiful women sat facing each other looking at each other. Then their eyes were broken because Gwen looked away from the window.
“So this is where Gustav was during his amnesia?”
“Iya,” Lisa replied briefly. He took a breath after he finally knew Edgar's real name.
Lisa frowned not understanding what Gwen said. Looking at Lisa's expression, it made Gwen smile knotty.
“Do you not know it was Gustav who had repaired the streets of the village just because he did not want to see you walking on the cobbled streets. Oh, he's also the one who has renovated this house.”
Gwen again looked around and then ended up staring at Lisa. The young lady looked astonished at Gwen's words.
“T-but why did he do all that?” Lisa asked in silence.
Gwen raised her eyebrows. Now it's her turn to be confused about Lisa's question.
“Why did he do all that?” Gwen repeated Lisa's words. But the next second a smile rose on Gwen's sweet lips.
“It is not clear that it is your sign and this place means a lot to Gustav.”
Lisa's eye beads look at the look on Gwen's face that could have been. Makes Lisa doubt whether this woman is the wife of Gustav or not.
“But isn't he your husband?”
“Suami?” Gwen jumped up and laughter rushed straight to the corner of the room.
Gwen laughed off. Even to remove a clear circle in the corner of the eye. While Lisa is increasingly confused because she thinks there is nothing funny at all.
“Suy? So all this time you... Oh my goodness, Lisa.”
Gwen laughed for a while. Then he took a deep breath to neutralize himself. Lisa stared at him with the rest of the smile still developing on her lips.
“I'm not Gustav's wife. I'm his sister. Yes, even though we are only five minutes apart,” said Gwen who then sipped tea.
“You twin brothers?”
Gwen nodded. “Non-identical twins. Gustav inherited Daddy's face and I look like Mommy.”
Lisa was surprised by Gwen's words. As far as he knew, a little boy named Rafael called Gustav Daddy and Mommy to Gwen.
“But I saw a boy calling Daddy on Gustav.”
“Oh yes, he's Rafael my son. Although I often teach Rafael but always call Gustav called Daddy.”
Finally, Gwen told Lisa about her domestic problems. She was abandoned by her husband while pregnant with Raphael.
Rafael was born and grew up without a father. However, there was always Gustav who always helped Gwen grow and Rafael. Until it is ingrained in the mind of Rafael that Gustav is a father figure who has been missed.
Lisa is pityed by the fate that befell Gwen's household. He did not want to ask more about the divorce of Gwen and Luke because his heart now harbored mixed feelings.
Even Lisa's mouth seemed choked not knowing what to say. All this time he misunderstood Gustav. He thought Gustav had been happy with his little family.
However, there was one thing that stuck in Lisa's mind.
“Then, why hasn't Gustav met me all this time?” Lisa asked after Gwen finished telling her story.
Gwen just smiled meaningfully. Then his hand reached into the bag to pull out an invitation card.
“If for that, you ask directly to the person,” Gwen offers Camilla a birthday party invitation card.
“You are invited to Grandma Camilla's birthday party and meet Gustav there.”
