The Night After You

CH - 43: Worry

Sena immediately looked towards her Mama, giving her a subtle eye code and call.

"Ma." Sena said to her mother

Mama Sena understood that.

"Oh, I'm sorry Son Sanda, Auntie doesn't know" Mama Sena told Sanda

"It's okay, Auntie" Sanda told Mama Sena by hiding what she was thinking

Deep in Sanda's mind.

"I have to answer what my father is about, I just don't know where he is right now" Sanda said

The story continues, Mama Sena began to tell a lot about anything to Sanda, and Sanda was very happy because her existence was well received by Mama Sena.

It didn't feel like they had been talking there for very long, talking about everything. Now, Sanda starts saying goodbye from Sena's house.

Sanda saw the clock on the wall of the house Sena had started showing at 5 pm, he started telling Mama Sena and Sena.

"Auntie, Sena. Sanda permission to go home first, it's late afternoon, Mother is also definitely waiting for Sanda at home" Sanda told Mama Sena

"Oh, good Nak Sanda, thank you for stopping here, do not forget to come again tomorrow - tomorrow, yes." said Mama Sena to Sanda

"Yes, Auntie" Sanda told Mama Sena

"Be careful on the road" Sena told Sanda

Sanda began to stand from his seat, he began to approach Mama Sena and greet her.

"Excuse me Auntie, Assalamualaikum" Sanda told Mama Sena

"Waalaikumsalam, be careful on the road" Mama Sena told Sanda

Sanda began to step out of Sena's house, followed by Sena. Mama Sena is inside the house.

"Sanda, forgive my mother's question earlier, yes." Sena told Sanda, about Mama Sena's question to Sanda about Sanda's father

"It's okay, Sena. Your mother doesn't know about it either, so it's only natural that she asks" Sanda told Sena

"Don't think about it, Sanda" Sena told Sanda

"Yes, Sena" Sanda told Sena

Sanda and Sena also began to walk to the fence of Sena's house, more precisely in the direction of Sanda's motorbike.

"I go first, yes." said Sanda while riding his bike

"Yes, be careful on the road, yeah. Greetings to Mother, Salisa and Sky." Sena said to Sanda

"Yes, I'll tell them later" Sanda told Sena

On the way to his home.

"How come, I can't explain anything about my own father, I don't even know where he is now" said Sanda's heart on the way to his home

"How can I guarantee Sena's happiness, even if I'm not that happy, I can't control my feelings. I'm afraid it will ruin the happiness Sena has had all this time." said Sanda's heart again

With mixed feelings, he went through all the questions in his head for his long years. He doesn't understand why Dad left, he doesn't know why he should be in this situation. Sometimes he wanted to tell her all about the pain, but he realized it would only be troublesome for others, what else if he told her that to his mother.

Soon, Sanda was busy fighting in fear inside her head. He also began to reach his home.

When Sanda started to park his motorbike and then entered the house, his mother was in the living room, watching TV, accompanied by her two sisters.

"Look at that, how could they do such things?" said Sky, Sanda's youngest sister who was talking to Mother and Salisa, while pointing to the TV that was showing magic shows

Sanda, who is now standing in the living room, stopped her footsteps when she saw her small family gathered.

"I may often be sad and tearful when I realize our little family is as if it's very lonely, Mom. Maybe because I was wondering about Dad leaving us. But how can I tell you my sorrow, Mom. When I see you and my sisters together, I think it's true that the story should be self-sustaining, let our happiness not be disturbed by my murky feelings." said Sanda's heart when looking at his family who was busy watching TV

In front of Sanda's eyes, there was a laugh from Mom, Salisa and Sky while watching the TV show.

During this time, Sanda was trying to be a great and strong brother in front of his sisters, trying to be the toughest person in the family.

Accidentally, when he saw his little family, Sanda remembered the past, he began to drift for a moment in his head.

One day, Salisa asks Sanda about their father, and Sanda simply replies that Dad is gone. Although Salisa again asked when Dad came home, Sanda only answered tomorrow.

And so it went, until Salisa started forgetting the question. Yes, Salisa asked Sanda when Salisa was 3 years old, he did not know anything when asked like that to Sanda. Sanda was 6 years old at the time. But like an adult, Sanda was able to try to calm his sister through his behavior. Although after answering Salisa's question, Sanda cried in her room very often.

Mom never told Sanda why Dad left them, but Mom only said that when Sanda was a child.

"You're the greatest man I've ever had, Sanda. Take care of your sisters when you are an adult, you have to learn independently from now on" said Sanda's mother when Sanda was a child

That's all Sanda remembers. And yes, after hearing her Mother's utterance, Sanda who used to be her spoiled son to her Mother, anything Mother, nothing Mother. Turning very drastically, he began to become quiet and reclusive from then on.

Salisa who realized the existence of Sanda in the living room, began to call.

"Abang's home yet?" tanya Salisa immediately saw Sanda

Sanda who was not long flashback to the past, now he began to realize.

"Yes" said Sanda as he walked towards the three of them

Mother and Sky began to look towards Sanda.

"Where to from? Why did the afternoon just get home?" ask Sanda

Sanda now walked and began to approach her Mother, to greet her Mother.

"From Sena's house, meet her Mama, Mama" Sanda told her mother as she shook her mother's hand
