Turns out I Love You

Turns out I Love You
Dad..!



"Ma, tomorrow we're going to the park? Mama promised I'd play in the park." Hasna collected the promise Bella had made before her birthday.


"So, baby. Tomorrow you can play in the park. But, we invite bi Sri ya, to take care of you because Mama can't possibly look for you if there's nothing with you." Bella stroked the head of her daughter lying on her arm.


"Yes, Ma. I understand that." Hasna's tiny hands tightly hugged her back and before going to bed, the little girl first kissed her face. "Good sleep, Ma. Hasna Imaang Mama."


Bella smiled, "Good sleep is also beautiful Mama. My mom also used to wear it, Hasna." Bella kisses the head of her daughter and then they fall asleep hugging each other.

In a different place, Calista was so happy for her brother's presence. She cooked Nando's favorite food.


"Add this yes, brother. I purposely cooked this for Brother. This was also in the meal, and this too," Calista poured each meal into a plate that was in front of Nando.


"Enough, Deck! It's too much, it's possible that Big Brother's stomach would explode eating this much food."


"This is also enough, but the one on the plate is up! I've cooked for Brother." Calista put on a pleading face and it made Nando unable to resist.


"All right."


Calista smiled happily. "Hmmm, Brother. Where have you been all this time? why am I so difficult to contact you and Brother just gave money without giving any news," asked Calista draped her hands on the table and looked at Nando questioningly.


Nando swallowed his food roughly, he drank and said, "There Brother does not hold a cell phone, there is also no network, there, and there too Brother works as a farmer and his salary is sent for your needs."


"But, Deck. The money that you send is just enough for you then you can get money for your needs until you can go to college and buy a house?" Jhon was really curious because he only sent money about 5 million per month.


"Lho, it's money from brother. Every month Brother sends 10 million for my needs until I can go to school and can buy this house," Calista was confused why his sister even asked like that.


John was speechless thinking about something, his heart said and asked, "10 million...! Did Shafira add that? only he can do that."


"Sir, what's wrong?" Calista shook her brother's hand, awakening Jhon from a dumb mind.


"Ah, no, Brother just did not expect you to be successful like this," said Jhon evasive.


"It's all thanks to Brother Syafira's family who always supported me and also thanks to Brother as well." Calista returned to the picture when he was left Jhon.


"First, when Brother left me alone my life was uncertain. I got to be a newsboy, a laundry laborer, even a scourer just to buy a bite of rice, I also have to manage the time between school and work."


"I was also a busker in front of the Cafe, and at that time I met with Kak Syafira, he gave me a job as a cashier in his Cafe. Did you know, he was the one who came to the farewell at High School even he also came at my graduation." Calista shed tears remembering Syafira's kindness.


"I'm sorry Brother left without saying goodbye, and I'm sorry when you started there Brother didn't call you for months" Jhon felt guilty for what he had done. He was also increasingly guilty of Syafira.


"That's all the past, now Brother has come home and I want Brother to accompany me here until we have family" Calista smiled shadyly.


John could not say anything, he regretted and became even more guilty.

As promised, Bella invites Hasna to play in the park. They had a small picnic in the park.


"Ma, I want to play bubbles." Hasna brought bubbles to play in the park.


"Yes, honey. You play not far away!"


"Yes, Mah." Hasna began to blow her bubble.


"Yes, No." Bi Sri is busy making snacks occasionally playing her mobile phone.


While playing, Hasna sees a balloon dealer. The little girl was chasing after her merchant because she wanted to buy a hello Kitty-shaped balloon.


"Bi, where's Hasna? I can't hear his voice." Bella continues to sharpen her sense of hearing to ensure the whereabouts of her daughter.


Bi Sri was surprised because he was so excited to see a cellphone until he forgot his employer's daughter. "Non, aunty call me first. Don't wait here!" he said he felt guilty.


"Ah, yes, Bi. Cepetan yes, because I want to go to the store."


Bi Sri began to look for Hasna's whereabouts. "Okay, where's Non Hasna? if you do not meet can be fired this mah," murmured Sri looking here and there full of worry.


Hasna is still chasing the balloon dealer on the bike. "Mang, wait! I bought the balloon, Mang!" he waved his hand.


The balloon dealer did not hear Hasna's screams because of the noise with her exhaust.


"Mang.." he shouted chasing up to near the highway and accidentally there was a motor that wanted to graze his small body.


"Dek, awaaass.." screamed someone ran and picked up Hasna before the bike hit her tiny body.


The driver braked his motorcycle. "If you keep the right child! Fortunately I did not hit him, if until the boy was hit I had to lose money," snapped emotions.


"Hey..! You should be running the bike properly! It's a street, a lot of people are passing by, you should be aware of that! You think this is the path of your ancestors as good as the udel jockeying?" snapped Jhon no less firm and certainly angry.


The rider then shrunk his guts to see the anger of Jhon. "I'm sorry" he said and immediately left them.


Hasna kept staring fixedly at the face that was carrying her.


"Sir, are you okay? who are you here with? where are your Mom and Dad? why did you get here alone?" cerca Jhon looked Hasna in the eye.


The deg...!


He was stunned to see Hasna's clear eyes let alone see her face look like her but this is the female version.


"Dad...!" she looked at the little girl and her eyes glazed over. "Didn't Dad remember me?" ask Hasna disappointed.


"Dad?!" Jhon was confused. "Sorry, Deck. I'm not your father! You're wrong, Dek." Jhon replied that he didn't know this little girl.


The little girl's heart grew even more disappointed, The father she was waiting for did not recognize her. Hasna thought that her father had forgotten her and her mother until not coming home for many years.


"Om take you to your Mama, will you?"


Hasna nodded and pointed to the direction where Bella was. Jhon began to walk still with Hasna in his lap.


Jhon moved closer to the woman who was sitting on her back. Bella also heard footsteps approaching her.


"Bi, has Hasna been found?" bella asked, looking back.


The deg...!


"Bella...!" Jhon stopped pegging not to continue his steps.


Seriate....
