The Soft Heart of Silk

chapter 38

Meanwhile in a luxurious room a mother ceaselessly lamented the departure of her daughter. A thousand words of regret could no longer replace the disappointment he felt. It's true that only regrets that Handoko now feels. If only she had dared to resist her husband's desire to match his daughter, surely Tiara would still be nearby, with him, even joking as usual. At least Tiara was still willing to believe it so she didn't just leave it without a message like this, as a mother she felt devastated by her only daughter did not even become a place to complain about her discomfort with her papa. She regretted being more in favor of her husband than her son.

Mr. Handoko who saw the condition of his wife is sad as it is today, he also became very disappointed and sad, but what you want to say is that everything has been done, there is nothing else he can regret.

" Don't cry, I'm more confused what to do" said Mr. Handoko, gently rubbing his wife's shoulder.

" even crying me you forbid pa...what can I do right now?" ask his wife.

" ma...do not talk that way" said Mr. Handoko began to weak

" i have to how? say pa.. I have to what if my son is not found to this day, it's been more than a week lo pa?" handoko asked as she broke down tears on her cheeks.

" i've been trying to find her, too."

" yes, you must look for him until you meet, because papa caused Tiara to leave" he jolted tightly, while Pak Handoko was only able to duck weakly without being able to refute his wife said.

" i'm sorry ma.I didn't think it would end up like this" Mr. Handoko said.

"it's too late pa. I can't imagine what happened to Tiara out there right now.he left without the money and clothes he had. How about he.he..."

" That's it, ma..don't you poison your mind with such negativity."

" how can I think positively with this condition pa....teach me, how? Tiara has never lived hard, never far from us her parents" Handoko said without stopping her crying.

" ma...I have searched all over the city, even I have reported to the police, but there is no result, I am also confused where to look again" said Mr. Handoko

Ms. Handoko did not answer any of Mr. Handoko's words, only her crying voice was heard more heartbreaking for those who heard it.

Meanwhile, in the modest home of Uncle and Aunt Sandy, they are seen sitting on the porch relaxing while eating their own fried bananas.

" any word from Sandy ma'am?"

" No sir, he hasn't sent a letter."

" Indeed, today's time is not common people send letters, try we have a handpone bu, surely we can send news quickly."

" lah..maunya father how?"

" use the phone mom.how about we buy a cell phone."

" duh.gaya once this father, rich who have a lot of money."

" look for a cheap mom, now there are many cheap mobile phones on the market.The important thing can be sound and communication. No need to be too sophisticated, we do not need too sophisticated" said uncle with a smile

" how cheap is that?"ask Auntie with a cynical smile.

" you don't know, Mom, I've never asked."

"sir..how about we see Sandy in the near future."

"Why?" aunty asked confusedly while lowering her voice as if whispering.

" you know that at this time Mr. Handoko is still suspicious of Sandy because of the departure of his son, if we leave now they will be more suspicious, and it could endanger Sandy ma'am." said Uncle slowly.

" then how do we know about Sandy?"

" tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'll go see him, but I'll go alone, if I don't go arousing suspicion, if you come along you will have a different story."

" it's up to the father.although actually I've missed the same Sandy" said Aunt with a frown.

" be patient, ma'am, there will be a time when we can gather together again."

" yes sir, I know, I understand."

At the office, Sandy finally convinces Tiara to stop by after they have lunch together. Sandy really wants to show her married status in her work environment. Some of Sandy's male colleagues initially thought Tiara was just her lover, some even openly teased her in front of Sandy, but after being introduced as Sandy's wife they immediately apologized for her brazen attitude. As for Sisca after seeing the figure of Tiara, she did not dare to raise her head in embarrassment about her attitude last night. Instead of not knowing, Tiara was getting closer to Sisca even as if she wanted to get along with him.

" Sorry yes mbak.I took off Sandy's phone last night outside working hours" said Sisca while looking down as Tiara approached her at her desk while Sandy was in her room.

" no papa, never mind that." replied Tiara softly.

" but I really don't know if Sandy's already married" replied Sisca, raising her face.

" yes, no papa, I know you have no evil intentions really, Never mind..oh yes, may I ask for help as mbak Sisca?"

" what's your help?"

" please always help Sandy, she doesn't have any experience in her office right now."

" if that is my duty, Mr. Kuncoro also gave me such a task."

" thank God, then, I just want Sandy not to be ashamed in front of the client Pak Kuncoro later."

" oh.mbak Tiara calm down, however it has become my duty to help mas Sandy and Pak Kuncoro." replied Sisca, Tiara became increasingly smiling widely at the answer.

" Well, can I have your phone number?" ask Tiara

" of course I can, no I 0815xxxxxxxx." replied Sisca

" i keep yes, who knows someday need."

" yes, I can also ask for the number mbak Tiara?"

" of course, I called. "

" thank you, mbak."

Tiara smiled as she nodded her head, then said goodbye to go back into Sandy's room. Sisca simply smiled seeing Tiara's body disappear behind the door. Sisca admitted that Tiara was much more beautiful than she was. Sandy was really lucky to get Tiara as a wife, already beautiful, kind, gentle and very understanding. Sisca felt she was no match for Tiara.
