The Soft Heart of Silk

looking for him endlessly

" Where can I find the boy?" asked Mr. Handoko back excited immediately, as well as Handoko's mother who seemed to get a fresh breeze again.

" i will bring Sisca here sir, you just wait here" replied Mr. Zein to calm the two parents who were troubled.

" yes sir, thank you.sorry for bothering Mr. Zein and the headmaster" said Handoko's mother.

" it's okay mom, we will always help mom as much as we can." replied the principal just before Mr. Zein passed to pick up sisca.

The headmaster was again between the two Tiara parents.

" sorry father, mother if I may ask, what is the reason Tiara should be married immediately? all I know is Tiara's smart girl who is very intent on pursuing higher education." asked the headmaster unkindly.

" i want the best for my son Sir, before college I want him to get married first so that someone watches him when away from us."

" oh...but it turns out Tiara has other thoughts?"

" that's it..."

" children now should not be forced, sir, they sometimes have their own thoughts for life."

"however I feel I have the right to manage Tiara's life Because she is my only child, it turns out that she chose to leave me." replied Mr. Handoko weakly.

" patient sir, I'll see you later. Sometimes children are too emotional. But later if they keep the problem will definitely return to the father and mother."

Mr. Zein had returned to the principal's room followed by a girl the same age as Tiara. Mr. Handoko and Handoko's mother look very hopeful on the information that will be provided by Sisca.

" Sisca.ini papa and mama Tiara, what do you know just say to him yes" said Mr. Zein in front of the principal father and Tiara's parents. Sisca just nodded slowly.

" kids... Tiara contacted you yesterday?"ask Mr. Handoko slowly.

" no sir, Tiara has never communicated with me other than at school sir."

" did he tell me something about his life after school?"

" no sir, he only told me that he wanted to study at Jakarta UI. He wants to be a doctor, he said."

" so he wants to go to Jakarta?"

" it seems so, sir, but I didn't know he was leaving the house."

" Tiara told you about her engagement?"

" never sir, will Tiara ever get engaged?"

" Yes, but it's off because he ran away last night."

" sorry sir, I don't know."

"other than you, chances are Tiara will ask who else for help?"ask Mr. Handoko

" in addition to you, to whom did Tiara delight in the various stories about her?"asked Mama Tiara while looking at sisca.

" all I know is that Tiara never tells anyone about her personal problems, she prefers to keep herself sad" Sisca replied slowly.

"Did she never mention her engagement plans? or tell me who's in love with?" ask her mother again.

" no aunt, Tiara there is no story about the issue of engagement or romance, which I know Tiara is very ambitious to be able to get into UI, he really wants to study medicine" replied Sisca

" can you contact us if Tiara calls you one day?" tiara asked while holding sisca fingers expectantly.

" how Tiara will contact me aunt, Tiara does not hold a mobile phone at all, I also wonder why he does not want to bring a mobile phone." replied Sisca confused, Sisca, because until now, Tiara did not know her phone number.

" i initially did not allow him to have a mobile phone, because I still think he does not need the device" replied Mr. Handoko

" who knows son, he sent a letter or whatever it is, if someday you can get information about Tiara please contact auntie ya." said Tiara mama with her sad face.

" yes aunt, sisca will tell aunt. "

" thank you, son, I'm sorry to bother you."

" it's okay aunt, I don't feel bothered."

Finally, Mr. Handoko and his wife say goodbye to the principal and Mr. Zein even though they did not get the results they expected. The grim face of Handoko's face cannot be hidden even though she tries to hide it. However, the concern for the safety of his daughter out there is not just that he can ignore.

On the way home, Handoko's mother could only stay quiet without talking to her husband. His heart was so troubled to know the truth about his son that there was no news at all. Meanwhile, Mr. Handoko is also confused with his own thoughts. His pride began to waver, his confidence will be able to find his son in the near future began to fade, and he began to realize the meaning of loss, his regrets began to come and go, had he not maxed out his will, it might have been a painful feeling like today that he would never have had. Her tears slowly began to drip down her cheeks. His wife, who knew her husband was crying, could do nothing, only a gentle stroke on his arm represented a thousand words of entertainment that he could not speak. Only a strand of her from a mother was she now offering in silence for the safety of her daughter.

In the tiny house where Tiara now lives, there is only happiness. Where once the house was always quiet because it was filled only by a widower who was not always at home, there are now 3 people in the house and every day there is always someone in the house. Yep.. The tiara can quickly adjust to the environment in which it lives. He began to recognize some of his neighbors who he often met while shopping. Even though they live in the village, they do not want to know each other's affairs, they only know that Tiara is a relative of the owner of the house.

" what do you want to do today's shopping?" ask the mother who lives right next to the house while they are shopping together

" don't know ma'am.still confused" replied Tiara.

" yes.mom is also confused what to cook, like bosen cook it again that again" replied the mother with a smile

" look for the easy one, ma'am, besides the strange cooking is also not possible" replied Tiara

" bak Tiara can be, today kok difficult to cook what, if you can not stay open YouTube, must all be sorted." replied the vegetable join nyamber.

" yes mang, if there is an Internet, Tiara will not have a cell phone."

" hadduhhh..mbak Tiara is strange, so where have you been? don't hold a cell phone yet?"

" hehehehehe..indeed not hold the mang, the first was forbidden by the father, even though I had also asked."

" ohh.so, honestly I wonder mbak, there are still people who do not hold a cell phone. As far as I know, a small child only his cellphone is better than the delicious father." replied the vegetable maker while laughing.
