Daniel goes to the main house to meet Felix's grandfather and master. There's something they want to talk about, I don't know what. Daniel also does not know, if the problem with Handian. Daniel said it, even Mr. Felix loved Daniel's amazing work.
At the gate, the security guard opened it. Then the car came into the yard. Daniel went down and went inside. Unexpectedly his arrival was anticipated by grandfather, Mr. Felix, and also Yolanda who was waiting in the guest room. Daniel was a little surprised, to the extent that Yolanda was waiting for him to come. If it was just Handian, Mr. Felix would not have involved Yolanda there.
Walking slowly, Daniel headed for the sofa and sat there. Daniel asked about Mr. Felix calling him to come to the house. Just yesterday, he came to the main house. Now he is told to come back. Although it was Daniel's custom when there was Arshana. He did not hesitate to stay, eat a table with them. Daniel was considered to be their own son.
"Great master why call me here? Is there anything important?." asked Daniel looking at Mr. Felix and grandfather alternately.
Mr. Felix immediately offered a photo. Daniel frowned when he saw the photo, he knew exactly who was in the photo. Questions ran through Daniel's mind. How could a picture of him be on Mr. Felix. And why does one family seem to ask him for an explanation.
"It's yours, right?" asked Felix, staring at Daniel.
"Yes this master belongs to me. Why sir and why is my picture with you?." Daniel asked again, still not understanding this.
"What is in the photo is you?." asked again, this time Yolanda's face became tense regardless of the cause.
"Yes, the one in the picture is me. This photo is a memory of my mother, before she died. This photo was taken when I was a baby. Why sir?." explained Daniel, immediately the faces of grandfather, Mr. Felix, and Yolanda were shocked. They looked at each other as if they could not believe what they were hearing.
"Your photo is very similar to my youngest son who died. Your photo was found the same bi Yanti fell while you were in a hurry. Then bi Yanti gave it to my wife." Felix replied while giving another photo to Daniel. When I saw how shocked Daniel was.
He seemed to be in disbelief, as the photos of the two made no difference at all. Daniel took both pictures and saw them one-on-one. Looking for reproach to distinguish, rope is impossible.
"That's a picture of my son before he died. From here you must know what I want to ask you" said Mr. Felix. Daniel looked up and put the two photos together.
"But how can my photo of your son look so similar. Didn't your son die as a baby? But....." Daniel is confused, what is this? Why could his face as a baby be so similar to the photo of Mr. Felix's son. Daniel wondered.
Daniel knew that Mr. Felix actually had not one child, but two. But his youngest son had to die in infancy. Even just born, Daniel knew because he got the story from Arshana directly. Because at that time he accidentally saw a photo of Arshan when he was a child beside the baby box.
"That's what I asked you. It's impossible if both photos were accidentally taken. It must have something to do, but I can't just conclude. There must be evidence." Felix replied holding his wife's shoulder.
Daniel seemed to be thinking for a moment, something stuck in his mind. He was reminded of the gift of his mother that he had never opened at all since the departure of his parents. It was still intact, never touched by Daniel at all. He just kept it in his apartment room. Why was it never opened by Daniel? Because her mother once told her by letter. If Daniel can open it when he's ready or when he's married. And Daniel still remembered the dark incident that made him not want to touch the box given by his mother.
The item was given by the art that took care of Daniel. He gave it away because he felt Daniel was an adult. And he himself did not know that he would be able to take care of Daniel.
'Aden take good care of this stuff. Mama Aden left it to aunt. And here's the letter, Aden's an adult. Aunty can't keep it all the time, it's time for aunt to give it to Aden. Here's the key to opening the box. Den Daniel must be able to be an independent man, strong, and can not be unyielding. Whatever the circumstances must be lived, surely one day Aden can be happy.' message the aunt before the next day he died.
Daniel believes that in the box there are secrets stored. Or a message from his mother, Daniel also permission to his grandfather and master Felix to go to his apartment to take something. He'll be back soon.
"I'm going home for a minute. I will find out the truth." said Daniel then got up and bowed for a moment. After receiving a nod from Felix, Daniel went to seek the truth. He also wondered what really happened. What secrets are still kept.
Arriving in front of the apartment building, Daniel immediately ran to the elevator to go upstairs to his apartment. When Daniel hastily opened the door and entered. Daniel went to his room to the closet where he kept the crib.
"Finally meet," muttered Daniel immediately took it.
The box is rectangular in shape with the first wrapping outside. It's brownish-gray. Daniel took the lock to open it, because the box was padlocked tightly. Daniel becomes convinced that the box holds the secret behind it.
I don't know why Daniel's heart is beating faster. Slowly opened the tightly locked padlock, for years he never touched. Even so Daniel always cleans so as not to get dusty. When the box was opened, what Daniel saw was a photograph, a small memo, an envelope in the memo and a first bracelet. This is the first time Daniel opened it.
His hands took small photos and memos. Daniel looked carefully at the photo. There are photos of him as a baby, as a toddler, and there are also photos of togetherness with his parents. Daniel remembered that moment. Then his eyes were fixed on a small memo that read his mother's name and there was her name as well.
Slowly his hand opened the first page containing his name coupled with a name he did not know. But Daniel knows the name behind him.
...Daniel Afrenda ...
...(.(.Arganta Abhimarta) ...
"Abhimarta Arganta? Why is my name compared to the name of his son Mr. Felix." murmured Daniel surprised. Then his hand reopened the next page.
Daniel, man,
Papa the same mom apologized to you. Maybe when you read this memo, we're gone. My mom wants to say that we love you more than anything. We will do anything for your happiness.
Mama can only explain everything after we're gone. Because we can't do it if we have to speak honestly to you. We are not your real parents.
The name next to your name is your real name. Now you probably know who your real family is. Felix Abhimarta and Yolanda Quella are your biological parents Daniel. They are your real family, not us. Mama doesn't really know that you're not your biological child. Your papa told me the same mama when you were five years old. Your heart already loves you and does not want to lose you. Therefore my mother never told me at all, your age is also said to be small. Forgive me mom and dad, Daniel.
Papa swapped a dead mother's baby for you. It just so happened that you were born together with your child, but your child could not survive. So papa swapped you who was right next to the mother's biological child box. Papa also changed the blanket you wear so as not to be suspected by your real family. Papa did that so that mom would not be sad and hit. But in the end the sad mama also heard the real story from papa.
Forgive me papa and mama who are not honest with you. You can only write honesty in this memo. Mama can't stand it if you have to get away from your mom. Come back to your family, they miss you so much. Papa has known about your real family since the exchange. Because the dibox says your name. Come back baby, your biological parents love you very much.
Keep the bracelet as a memory from your mother. Once upon a time when you were married, wear a bracelet that your mother gave to your wife. In order for you to remember forever, do not lose it. Take care of our memorable photos. Mama hope you want to keep it. Apologize to your biological parents and family. Give your mother's message in the envelope to your parents.
Mom's message, never forget us. Even though we are gone, until whenever you are still a mother's child. You were not born from your mother's womb, but our love is all for you. Take good care of yourself, stay the Daniel you know. Cheerful, great, strong, and not easily discouraged. Once again my mom and dad are sorry, I hope you don't hate us. Thank you for being present in the life of papa and mama, coloring our daily lives with your smile and laughter. See you next day, in a beautiful place.
Greetings
Papa and mama.
