The Sound of Tears

words from Hendrick

"Sir Hendrick knows where?" I said, sitting next to the man.

"Shella, you better try to accept all this reality"

"do you mean Hendrick?"

"i mean, you better go home to your master's house in the Luxury apartment" Hendrick said.

Immediately I was shocked to hear the words of the man.

"why Shella? you must be surprised to hear my words. Look, Shella, actually I've known for a long time that you're the real son of Tari and Pak Tama who used to be missing"

"what? you mean Hendrick? does Hendrick know where he's from?"

Then Hendrick told me about last year's incident where I was still a high school graduate.

"Shella, do you remember the first time I went to your house?" ask Hendrick.

"still"

"don't you wonder why I know your home address?"

"no brother, it's my mom who tells you the same brother Hendrick and anyways Ardian also know my home address"

"hmmm, you're the bottom" Hendrick said, wiping my hair.

"but really what I said" I said innocently.

"you're wrong, actually I've been after you for a long time, I've been looking for your whereabouts, how your daily life. Including me, I have also spoken to Ms. Siti, a kind mother who has been caring for and distributing you" said Hendrick who made me shocked.

"honey, don't you know that I was your upperclassman when we were in elementary school, I was in 2nd grade of High School while you were in 1st grade"

I shook my head indicating that I didn't remember that much at all, and I also never thought that we had one school, let alone that when I was in 1st Junior High.

"maybe you don't remember, I used to pay attention to you. I also often hear a story of how you did during Junior High. At first I was just interested in hearing it, but over time I became curious, so I ventured to follow you when I returned to school. And one day when I came home I asked you to Siti's mom, and then somehow she told me to always take care of you. Because he has considered the dictionary as his real son. mmm. oh yes one more I forgot to say that the letter ever written by the lady happened to be the envelope I love".

Hearing the explanation from the young man, my tears suddenly rose. I remember my mother who left me a long time ago.

'Why does all this have to happen? why does it all feel like a dream?' the question suddenly came to my mind.

Not feeling the day is getting darker, the wind on the beach ancol was blowing louder. Rays from beachside street lights also add to the romantic atmosphere in the area of cafe freshra.

"impossible" I said as if I could not believe what the young man who was sitting next to me had said.

"believe it or not, that's obviously the thing I've done. oh yeah, one more.. actually, at that time I deliberately did not tell you about the existence of Shinta who deliberately took photos while we were at your house, and me and my mother deliberately made a scenario of meeting between you and Miss Tari. This is all a request from Ms. Siti, who used to be very valuable to our family" Hendrick said.

"what? so then.. Mommy actually knows all this?" my word.

"yes baby, sorry all this time I have kept this from you" Hendrick said, hugging me tightly.

" be calm baby, I will always keep looking after you" he added, giving a kiss on my forehead.

Not long after, the sound of some people shouting called us.

"honey, let's go back to fresh" Hendrick asked.
