UPIK ABU & HANDSOME CEO

Secrets of My Life

I slowly opened the black box, inside of which was a small white dress. Which looks torn in some parts and also there are blood spots. There is a gold necklace with a pendant and there is also an envelope inside.

I stared at the wonder of it all and thought who it belonged to.

Out of curiosity I finally opened the envelope containing a letter, then I read it.

Tiara my son, I apologized to you before and please never hate me.

12 Years ago I was a taxi driver. And there was a man with a tompel birthmark on his left chin, riding in Dad's Taxi holding the hand of a very beautiful 5-year-old child.

The little girl was crying in fear

and Dad also heard when he was talking on the phone, that he asked for some money to a guy named Wijaya.

Father who at that time suspected that you were a kidnap victim immediately stopped Dad's Taxi. Not yet had Dad caught the man, he rushed out of Dad's taxi and pulled the little girl with him.

When he ran to cross the road suddenly there was a truck with high speed towards him.

The father who was at that moment chasing after the man quickly pulled the little girl. Dad ran as hard as he could and jumped, to avoid the truck and then we fell on the sidewalk.

Dad had a few bruises and blisters from falling, and the little girl had a cut on her head. Also some abrasions on his body. And for the man he died on the spot, while the impactor fled.

Quickly he took the little girl to the hospital, and he also called the police to report the incident, but he did not tell the police about the little girl in the accident.

Seeing that little girl makes you selfishly want to have her, let alone Daddy just lost a child the same age as him due to Leukaemia.

Dad brought the little girl home to his wife's hometown, and Dad's wife smiled happy to see him when before he was like an undead because of the loss of our son.

The accident left the little girl with memory loss and trauma. Until he was afraid to talk and meet strangers, but the affection and attention of his wife slowly made him able to interact again with others. And smile back like any other little girl.

Do you know who that little girl is? yes, that little girl is you. This is your story.

I'm sorry for Daddy's selfishness, I didn't bring you to your family.

I only remember Wijaya's name at the time the driver asked for ransom. That's why I gave your final name to Wijaya and the necklace and clothes you wore as a child, I also kept them in the box. Use it all to find your biological family in town x where your accident was.

Again, I'm sorry, I love you.

With trembling hands and tears flowing I put the letter back into the envelope.

My chest was tight, my mind was in turmoil knowing that the person who had raised me so lovingly was not my real parents.

I took a photo album of myself and my adoptive parents. I rubbed and embraced the picture with affection.

"Dad you know what I regret most is not being separated from my parents, but knowing that you are not my real parents.

With tears that did not stop flowing I kissed the photo of Father and Mother, then I held back tightly into my arms.

"Thank you Dad, thank you so much for giving me the chance to be your son. I love you guys so much" I said.

Just now that I was trying to get up from losing Father, I was suddenly faced with a reality like this.

"Oh my God, what should I do" I muttered sobbing.

********

Time passed and today is the graduation announcement.

I ran towards the notice board that was already filled with students and students in my school.

I tried to infiltrate the crowd of students, suddenly a student patted me on the shoulder.

"Near!" the student called me.

"Yes!" I answered while looking at the student.

"The head of the school is calling you to his office right now" the student said with a smile looking at me.

"Beautiful" the man muttered softly which was still heard by me.

"What!" I said looking at him sharply.

"Ah no-no, you'd better hurry the Headmaster is waiting for you.

With half a run I headed to the Headmaster's room.

Tok tok tok.., "Excuse me Mr. I'm Tiara" I said as I knocked on the door of the Principal's room.

"Get in" replied the Headmaster.

I put my foot in and the Headmaster invited me to sit down.

"Tiara, congratulations on you being ranked first with the highest score" the Headmaster smiled.

"Right, if you can figure out what your plan is going forward" the principal asked me.

Instantly I was silent and lowered my head, not feeling my tears flowing back down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry if you make you sad, but if you intend to go to college you will help you to get a scholarship".

"You can study at Campus A in a city close to our village. And you have Kos-kosan near the campus, you can live there for free. What say?" ask the Principal.

"Thank you, sir, for thinking about my future".

"But I want to go to town X where my father's brother is, and I'm going to college while working there" I told the Principal.

I'm sorry sir for lying to you, I just want to go to town X looking for my real parents. As you wish, I said in my heart.

"Well then, this is the Bank Savings Book, you make it in your name. It came from your father's salary, alimony, and sorrows from school. Also some of me, use it to the best of my ability" the Headmaster said as he handed me a bank passbook.

******

Armed with Dad's savings and also the savings from the Principal, I headed to town X by plane. Because it is a very far distance from the village where I live today.

In the waiting room of the plane, I sat next to a mother who was feeding her child patiently, while her son would not be silent running around.

"Where are you going" said the mother to me.

"To town X, ma'am" I said.

"Name ...".

"Tiara, ma'am" I said, cutting off his words.

"Son Tiara to town X himself? want to find a job or have other plans?" ask the mother.

"I'm myself Mom...".

"Figures" said the mother.

"Yes Bu Anggi, I happen to plan to work while studying in city X" I replied.

"Have a brother there?" ask the mother again.

"Mommy's" I said lying.

"Mother also lives in town X, Mother play to this city plan to find a nanny for the mother's child in the hometown. All nostalgic with an old friend, but haven't met a suitable babysitter" she said gently to me.

"If you want you to be able to work together Mother as a nanny or cafe waitress, I happen to have a cafe in town X" said the mother again.

I just kept quiet hearing Mom's words. Even if I needed a job but accepted a job from a stranger in a place like this, it scared me that I would be deceived.

"Do not immediately refuse, Think carefully looking for work in city X is not easy. Moreover, it looks like you have no work experience".

"Mom wait for your answer until the plane lands in city X. Because it looks like the plane we boarded is the same" said the mother again while glancing at the plane ticket I hold.

After the plane landed and picked up my things, I walked out.

I saw Anggi's mother approaching me with a gentle smile.

"How about Nak Tiara, have you considered Mom's offer?".

"I..."

"If you're willing, you can stay for a while at Mom's place. As long as you don't get a place to stay" Mother Anggi bargained for my words.

I just silently looked at Mother Anggi confused, suddenly Mother Anggi immediately pulled me towards her car.

"Already come with Mom, I know you must not have a place to live".

Like a buffalo shaken by his nose I finally obeyed the mother into his car.

Arriving in the car, the mother offered me a drink.

"Here drink, I know you must be thirsty" said the mother again.

"Thank you Ma'am" I said smiling at him.

I took the drink and drank it straight away. But suddenly my head hurt and my eyes felt heavy, I vaguely saw Mother Anggi smiling at me. Finally my consciousness slowly disappeared.

tbc.
