Chapter 4 - Unfair mother

The two handsome young men returned to the house. Zaidan returned to the kitchen to clean the house while Umar was still engrossed in his cellphone.

"Umar? Do you know if you just hitch a ride at my house? How can you be silent while I clean this house?" Zaidan approaches his personal assistant and best friend. He was annoyed to see Umar who was only busy with his cellphone.

"Yes, alright. I'll come now," Umar replied as he walked away, but he couldn't take his eyes off the cellphone in his hand. Seeing Umar busy with his cellphone, Zaidan approached the man and grabbed the cellphone in his hand.

"You?" he said. But suddenly, his speech stopped when he saw the picture on the phone. The handsome young man's face suddenly changed when he saw the picture.

"Where did you get this picture from?" asked Zaidan emotionally.

"Earlier, I took a photo of the woman," Umar stammered. Zaidan put all the things in his hands, then ran out of the house. Umar did not understand what had happened to his friend, Umar could only stand still staring at the man's departure.

The image that Zaidan saw on Umar's cellphone was a tattoo with a rose shape on his left hand. The tattoo image that has traumatized Zaidan for the rest of his life because the tattoo has made him lose the most precious person in his life.

Lana is also the child of a husband and wife couple, Bags and Lina. But since she was born into the world, the girl seemed to be unrecognized. The mother was even reluctant to talk to him. That morning as usual the little family was enjoying breakfast together. Lana continued to watch her mother. He really wanted to approach the middle-aged woman, she really wanted to hug the woman who had given birth to her into the world. But the middle-aged woman still ignored him.

"How's College?" the father asked his favorite daughter. Tomorrow it is the father who is always present by the girl's side. The same father who has always given love and attention to him. A father who always understands what Lana needs.

"Everything is fine Pa, I'm in the thesis right now. Soon I will finish my studies, "said Lana.

"Wow, really? Papa didn't even realize that Papa's son had grown up. Soon someone will take him away from this house. This house will be quiet again," said the father on the sidelines of the breakfast he enjoyed with his family.

"Not! This house cannot be lonely. Javier will be back. Why did papa say that our house will be deserted? Is papa not happy if our daughter comes back. Why this papa so cruel to say like that? Does papa really not want Javier to come back home and hang out with us?" The middle-aged woman was angry when she heard the language spoken by her husband.

"Mom, that's not what Papa meant. Don't you see that Lana has grown into a smart and beautiful girl? Look Ma, don't you have a wonderful daughter now in front of you. Our son is very similar to you," said the middle-aged man, trying to calm his wife. He really hopes that the middle-aged woman can be sincere with all the events in the past and enjoy the present because they have a incredible daughter.

"No, I need Javier more. She is also my daughter, did you forget that you have a daughter named Javier." The middle-aged woman still insisted on her opinion. He would rather not listen to what other people think of him. He would rather not listen to anyone's opinion about his whereabouts. The woman left the dining table and let her second daughter cry watching her mother leave.

Lana was tired of always being ignored by her own biological mother. The woman was very bored because all this time she had continued to suffer alone, she kept missing her mother's affection while her mother always ignored her. All this time he kept trying to understand the burden of the middle-aged woman's thoughts, but gradually he couldn't understand it. But what can this woman do? He could only throw his body on the chair and try to hold back the tears that were attempting to break his defenses.

A middle-aged man approached Lana. Bags understands the feelings of his second daughter. The comparison of affection between Javier and Lana is very significant. The comparison was clearly visible to both of their eyes. That's why Bagas really understands the sadness felt by the woman. He approached his daughter and patted her lightly on the shoulder.

"Son, please forgive Mama. Papa, sure if mama didn't mean that. Papa is very sure if Mama actually loves you very much too. But conditions and circumstances put Mama in a difficult position. Please understand my son," said the middle-aged man to comfort his daughter.

"Until when Pa, how long do I have to be patient and have to understand Mama's feelings? Until when should I be silent seeing the attitude of my mother who never cared about me. Until when? Do I really not have the opportunity to be a daughter of Mama? If you don't want me, why did you give birth to me, Pa, why don't you just throw me away." The sadness in Lana's heart had accumulated over the years in her life. The sadness has piled up and all this time he has been trying to understand his mother's feelings, all this time he has been trying to understand the sadness his mother experienced because he lost a daughter he loved.

But day by day the woman seemed unable to face all the suffering that was in front of her, but more and more the woman seemed unable to see the injustice that was accepted by her. He is very jealous of his brother who disappeared decades ago he feels jealous of a person who has never even met him if Lana may ask he will choose to change his position with his brother's position he will be more willing if he is the one who disappears in the forest. If she had the choice, she would prefer to be Javier who is trapped in the forest and lives alone because even though he lives far from his family, he gets an immeasurable abundance of love.
