THE ROAD TO LOVE

The Past.

Mr. Julio was speechless only his eyes played in disbelief with what he saw. How could a beautiful man transform into a simple girl. What because he has not had lunch his eyes, Mr. Julio so myopic wrong look at the person in front of him.

Gina laughs a little to understand the shock of Mr. Julio. Let alone Mr. Julio, Kevin and Peter ever fooled by the appearance of Gina. Especially Kevin who spent days with Gina without knowing who this girl really is. Kevin with his pedal naked in front of Gina. This is a record for the man who was never close to the woman.

"Sorry sir! I'm Gina aka Gino!"

Mr. Julio hasn't been able to move on from the shock. Mr. Julio doesn't believe that the boy he admires is a girl. Should he add a sense of admiration because the profession that Gina wrestled is not unusual for girls.

"You are..What do you mean play?" asked sir Julio sharply a little less pleased. This guy must have thought Gina was playing tricks on people.

"Let's sit sir! I'll tell you why I can disguise myself as a man. Earlier I apologized if Mr. Julio was offended." Gina invites Mr. Julio to find a comfortable place to talk.

The sharp gaze of Mr. Julio has not subsided while participating in Gina sitting in a clean place. Mr. Julio doesn't like people the most evil tricks. Mr. Julio saw the innocence of Gina then willing Gina's record to remain in Kevin's place.

Mr. Julio sat down with dignity. Both legs crossed staring at Gina who was still standing in front of Mr. Julio. Gina is putting together a word for Julio not to offend Kevin. If he had been frank about Kevin's illness, it would have made Kevin's reputation worse. Kevin's innocent of her, so he can't ruin Kevin's good name.

"This sir! My twin brother works for Kevin sir. He asked for leave to Korea and Mr. Kevin asked for a replacement for him for a while. Mr. Kevin does not want to be bothered by the problem of girls so ask my brother for a boy's record. My brother is afraid that if he registers his friend then his position can be threatened then he asks me to disguise as a man according to the wishes of Mr. Kevin. I only worked ten days ago my brother came back. He's back at work. I was asked to help Mr. Kevin for a while until the project ran out. I swear this time it's not a charade" said Gina, pointing her finger up in the sky to prove she wasn't telling the story.

Mr. Julio kept quiet to hear Gina's long story. From the look on Gina's face it doesn't appear she's lying. Mr. Julio must understand that those below are always afraid of being displaced from the workplace now. It's only natural that Gani cheated a little.

"Did Kevin know your status?"

Gina nodded quickly. Gina won't lie to Julio for a second time. Pretty involved in the silliness of Gani. Gina chose to be a good person without having to fear being caught wrong.

"Why are you still here? Did you not go to the office today?"

"Already sir! I only work half a day because I have to help Sabri in the workshop. I can't bear to leave you just because I got a new job."

Mr. Julio nods his salute to the soul of the knight Gina. If Gina had been born as a boy, she would have become a man of great soul.

"Who is Sabri?"

"Didn't Mr Julio ever meet when he first came to see the condition of the car? He's the owner of this workshop and our father."

"Wait..How are you? Om or dad?"

"Om Sabri was our stepfather. She just married my mother after twenty years. He raised us."

"Well, how lively are you! Where is your real father?"

"We don't have a real father. He doesn't deserve to be called a father. Until whenever our father is only Sabri." said Gina to show a glint of revenge in his eyes.

Mr. Julio was a bit stunned to see Gina's rather strange eye rays. Who was the man who had brought the two children into the world then incised a grudging wound in the hearts of those children.

"Have not discussed unnecessary things. What matters is that you live a normal life. I was once a twin sister of a daughter. According to our village custom, twins of different sexes must be separated. I was with our parents while my sister was taken far across the ocean. When we were seventeen years old we met after that we never met again. Where is she?" Mr. Julio's eyes are a bit blurry remember his twin brother too.

"Why didn't you look for him?"

"Last news we received he moved to Laos with his adoptive father who became deputy. That's how they're missing."

"Follow in Laos? Our grandfather was also a deputy in Laos. Grandpa died of a heart attack on the plane. Our grandmother followed a year later. I live alone in Lombok. Mother's a scholar of international relations."

Mr. Julio is stuck hearing the story of Gina's mother. It is similar to the story of her missing sister. Was Gina's mother her brother who lost contact with nearly thirty?

"Who's your mother's name?"

"Sarah bint Ibn Hasan."

"Sarah???" exclaimed sir Julio almost shouted at the name he had been looking for all this time.

Gina was shocked, Mr. Julio shouted like a demon in broad daylight. The man stood up to hear the name Sarah as if the name had great appeal.

"Yes sir! That's my mom's name!" the word is a little scared because Mr. Julio is acting strange. Gina has never seen Julio blush her eyes.

"Where's your mother?"

"Home with dad. What's wrong with my mom, sir? The mother was just an ordinary woman who had nothing. I hope you don't make it difficult for my mother." Gina is ready to protect her mother from anything Julio will do.

"I want to see your mother." Mr. Julio hasn't expressed any desire to see Ms. Sarah.

Gina was of course afraid that Mr. Julio would do something that was not commendable to her mother. Now they began to live quietly Gina did not want to add to the burden of her mother who was heavy enough with her burden long enough to be carried.

"You don't have to worry, son! I just want to make sure that your mom's a big brother or not."

Now it was Gina's turn to look. Where is the story that his mother is his brother, Mr. Julio. Why in this world there are coincidences. It never crossed Gina's mind that her mother was from a rich family. All this time they live a life of breathing is not excessive. Ms. Sarah painstakingly raised her two children without any help from a family other than Om Sabri.

"Jeez, young man. I can't possibly do something that's not commendable to you. Have you ever seen your father do things out of bounds?"

Gina had to admit that Mr. Julio was famous with a clean name without scandal during his time as a businessman. But Gina still somewhat doubtful that Mr. Julio considers his mother is his brother who has long disappeared.

"All right sir! We're going home. But please whatever the story don't add to my mother's burden! I don't let anyone hurt Mom."

"Back of promise, son! What is the purpose of wanting to hurt your mother? Only you can feel that you are the flesh and blood of the father. From the beginning you know my father loved you. You have something you can't say with words. Let's go to your house!"

"We'll go by train, sir! Our house is not far from here."

"As far as you are!" Mr. Julio is very

can't wait to meet the woman Gina calls mother. If you have wings, it's like flying to see that woman.

Gina pushed her carriage around the exit of Om Sabri's workshop. In the mouth of Gina still often call om because it is not used to call Sabri with the call of father. It still takes time for Gina and Gani to change the vocabulary on the lips. From om to dad.

Mr. Julio and Gina ride a motorbike matic Gina into the alley where Ms. Sarah lives. Now has added a new occupant of om Sabri. Om Sabri is planning to buy a house but Gina and Gani refuse because the life of om Sabri is also not very good. Nor are the poor rich. The important thing is enough to eat and not starve is already the key to their family's happiness.

Gina stopped the motor matic in front of one simple tenement house. Mr. Julio got off the bike looking at the house which was probably only as wide as the living room of his house. It does not matter how spacious the house is that the warmth emitted by the house is important. Sparks when there is no human value are also empty.

"Sir is my home!" Gina resuscitated Julio from the daydream.

Mr. Julio realized to carve a thin smile on his lips. Mr. Julio was a little embarrassed when he weighed how many houses the Gina family inhabited.

Gina opened the gate so the rich man could move into the yard. The page also does not bring much pride because it is still ordinary cement floor. Unlike the home page of Mr. Julio who has been installed expensive tiles.

"Please sir!" Gina let Julio walk up to the terrace. "Assalamualaikum.." exclaimed Gina greeting from outside.

"Waalaikumsalam.." sounding melodious voice from inside the house.

Mr. Julio's heart is not due to hear the voice of the woman who may be the person he's been looking for all this time. Gina opened a door that was rarely locked except at night. The neighborhood of this village is relatively safe from criminals unless criminals relapse from outside the area.

"Mom..there are guests!" exclaims Gina wishes her mother was not in the room with om Sabri. Understand the newlyweds are still sitting in the room.

Miss Sarah came out of the room alone without Sabri. The woman came out because Gina said there was a guest. Guests for whom not yet known. As the host Miss Sarah must welcome guests who come to their homes.

Ms. Sarah was stunned to see who her guest was. Mr. Julio was also stunned when Ms. Sarah appeared. The two stared at each other like they had met but had no idea where they were.

Gina stood by the side let the two people look at each other for common ground. Whether they know each other or just greet new people.

"Io???" unconsciously, Miss Sarah mentioned a word that Gina did not understand.

"Rara?" Mr. Julio also mentioned one strange rhythmic word.

Gina's death oath never heard of any such strange greeting in her family. Io and Rata are only present today among them.

Mr. Julio moved forward toward Ms. Sarah who was still stunned to not expect to meet the person who was almost erased from memory. Mr. Julio pulled Ms. Sarah into a shameless embrace.

Gina bengong see how brave sir Julio to make a sensation in people's homes. Gina assures her new father that she will not stay silent, her new bride has been hugged by another man.

Ms. Sarah let out a small crying voice causing Gina to worry that her mother has a problem with Mr. Julio. Gina hasn't told Julio about her twin sister.

Om Sabri who heard the sound of his wife's cries immediately came out of the room see who dared to nudge Sabri's wife in the village hero.

The man was stunned to see his beloved wife in the arms of another man. Wear a cry event anyway. Not yet thought the good bad shadow first crossed the mind of Om Sabri.

"What's this?" tanya Om Sabri with a solidified voice to sound cool.

Mr. Julio is self-conscious the original owner of this woman has been present. Mr. Julio immediately release Ms. Sarah with a smile. Mr. Julio's hand is still on Ms. Sarah's shoulder. Mr. Julio's eyes staring at Ms. Sarah's face showed an infinite longing.

"Well, how are you?"

Ms. Sarah down not able to talk so happy to meet people who are blood with her.

Om Sabri who was grumpy there was a man who dared to find his wife to get home. This greatly disrespected Om Sabri's status as a husband.

Om Sabri mendehem reminded Miss Sarah that there is still a husband nearby who must be upheld.

"Let's be my husband! Name's Sabri. This is Julio my twin brother who got separated decades ago!" Ms. Sarah pulled Sabri closer so as not to drown in the sea of jealousy. Eating too much vinegar is not good for health.

"We've met Sabri's brother. I have Julio in CJ's car that Gina fixed." Mr. Julio reached out his hand to greet Om Sabri.

Om Sabri raised his eyes unexpectedly his wife still had a twin brother like his stepson. The story of Ms. Sarah's life is starting to unfold a little. All this time, Miss Sarah's been shutting her past access off from anyone. This includes a sad story with Subrata. A heartbreaking story that will not be erased from memory.
