... Plan Long An ...
Long An looked carefree that day. He smiled while looking at the image of his father. The figure he had been looking for all this time. Finally found and right in front of him. He was standing in front of a very large office. The office was none other than the Enterprise Aksara company. Long An came after being ushered by Mistress Meri. All to make excuses. So that her mother does not suspect. He pretended to play with the twins.
After delivering Long An, Mistress Meri did not come inside. He gives time for An to be alone with his biological father. Long An thanks for the help of Mrs Meri and the twins. Thanks to their intervention. He finally found his father. A father who looks like himself. Both are narrow-eyed and have the hair gene standing up.
Then with carefree footsteps, little Ong An walked into the main building of Aksara Enterprise. Upon entering the building, he was so amazed to see the excellent building. Long An immediately went inside. Apparently, he was welcomed by Mr. Albert. Long An waved and smiled broadly at the Ravindra's assistant. Mr. Albert also returned the smile of the little genius karateka. Apparently Long An secretly contacted Mr. Albert to support his plan. Of course the Ravindra assistant welcomed Long An's intentions. He agreed, that it was time for Mr. Ravindra to have a different life than before.
“Halo Pak.” greet Long An while shaking and kissing the hand of Mr. Albert.
Long An always remembered what his mother had taught him. That wherever it is, must still uphold the name of tatakrama. Moreover, they were easterners who were known to have good manners. Appreciate the older. Irene always instills in Long An. To anyone must respect. Cannot discriminate and view the status of others. All have the same degree. So that's why, even though An grew up in a western country. But, never forget to uphold ethics in the older ones. Things that many young people forget today.
Albert smiled. Secretly admiring this little boy in front of him. If someday, this kid can continue to be with his boss. Then the freezing in Rava's heart will warm.
“How are you today?” ask Albert with a friendly smile.
“Very good and never this good.” replied Long An with a wide smile. Her face was radiant, her cheeks were as reddish as cherries. Looks very adorable.
“Mr Rava, there is still a meeting with the staff. So, wait a moment in his room.” take Mr. Albert to the Ravindra workspace.
Long An nodded and followed where Mr. Albert was walking to. After taking the elevator to the top floor. Mr. Albert showed me the Ravindra workspace. Long An chuckled in admiration, seeing such an elegant workroom. The interior design looks aesthetic. On the desk there is a sign that says CEO Ravindra Damarishwara. An, walk slowly and stroke the nameplate. Smiling warmly.
Papa, I finally found you Long An said inwardly.
“Nak, sit here. Mr. Ravindra is about to finish his meeting.” Mr. Albert let Long An sit on the sofa.
Long An was grinning and smiling. Then take a box of milk out of his bag.
“Pak, thank you for helping. This is a box of milk for father.” Long An said as he offered a box of milk.
“Ah, don't bother. Milk is for you.”
Long An shook his head.
“Sir Albert must not reject the sincerity of a little child. Take it and drink this milk. Milk has a lot of nutrients and calcium. Great for bones and add energy to your body while working. So please accept.” Long An smiled warmly.
Mr. Albert who has never been noticed this well by anyone else. Feeling very moved. His eyes looked teary and received a box of milk from Long An.
“Thank you son, I really appreciate this. But is it okay? You took your milk ration?”
Long An shook his head confidently.
“Mama once told me. Giving something or helping someone will not make us lose. It will bring good to us. Like, for example, we become friends. Right no?”
Mr. Albert increasingly admired the nature of the little Long An. Not only is the genius in karate, but this kid has character. Character that makes it have the quality as a human being who has kindness. Character education does need to be done by parents early on with a child. So when mature, all the goodness will be embedded in the heart and mind of the child. The child will love others and no longer discriminate. The child will behave politely wherever he is.
Without them noticing, suddenly Ravindra was already standing near the entrance. Long An and Mr. Albert.
“Wah, you are good at bribing my assistants. In order to get in here.” ledek Ravindra while walking to his desk.
Mr. Albert immediately resigned and gave an opportunity for Long An to talk to Ravindra. After the death of Mr. Albert, Long An looked meaningfully at Ravindra. He had longed for the figure of a father. Finally found his real father.
“What are your eyes not tired, looking at me so?” ask Rava.
Long An simply smiled widely. Then give the milk box to Rava.
“Uncle, this milk is for you. Uncle porcupine hair must have worked hard. So, milk can restore uncle's stamina.”
Papa, even though I can't call you that yet. An is happy. Could meet you. Inner Little Long An.
“Are you bribing me? So that I may obey your wishes?” asked Rava in a cold tone. In the end, he felt warmth.
Long An just laughed broadly. And then, shortly thereafter. It looks like the two are walking towards a park built by the company Aksara Enterprise. Long An walked over so cheerfully. Accompanied by Ravindra beside him. While walking, An saw a grandmother peddling merchandise and carrying scales. Without thinking long, the little boy immediately helped the grandmother bring a fairly heavy scales. While Ravindra as usual just fold the chest hand and watch.
“Why did grandma bring the scales to and fro?” ask An.
“That's because, grandma has to find customers. And there are a lot of people who visit here. So, grandma sells in front of the park. Too bad, grandma can not enter this park because there is a ban on selling in there.”
“So apparently.” Long An looked sad.
Seeing a grandmother still struggling to find change for the sake of pennies to buy a handful of rice.
“Grandma, I will buy all your merchandise.” Long An said sincerely.
He approached Rava.
“Uncle, sorry to trouble you. This time I can owe you? I promise, after I get home I will take the money and change uncle.”
Rava breathed deeply. Without saying much, he gave the grandmother a few hundred red bills. Grandma looks very happy. He earned more money than his trade.
“May you always be blessed and happy always. Good father and son.” said The grandmother thanks Rava and Long An.
“Hey, grandma...we are not dad and. ah already.” Rava tried to say that they were not father and son. But the grandmother had already passed from that place.
Long An smiled widely. Seeing Rava helping him.
“Why do you always care about the people around you? You look very much like your mama.” comments Rava while looking cynical on Long An.
Long An smiled, “Mama says doing good will not make us lose. We will be blessed. Caring for others will make our hearts feel happy.”
Hearing Long An's words. Rava stared deeply at the little boy in front of him.
“During this, I let go of that sense of caring. Caring, trusting, loving someone will only make the heart hurt. If you were me, when I was 10. I doubt you will be like you are now. You will definitely be the same as me.”
“I won't make a choice like uncle. I will still be who I am now.” Long An replied as he clasped Rava's hand.
“What uncle forgot? To love, to trust, to care is not an option. It was my uncle who wanted to let go. Uncle might be afraid of having such feelings. An, don't know what made uncle let go of all those feelings. However, it was not too late to get those feelings back because those feelings were still in uncle's heart. I can see it. Didn't you, uncle also wanted to feel that warmth and asked my mama to do it? Let's warm my uncle's cold heart together. Now, let go of the coldness in your heart.” continued An with a big smile and full of sincerity.
Long An pulled Rava's hand. Until Rava knelt down to be on par with his height. Then hugged Rava tightly.
“An, will channel this warm feeling to uncle.”
Instantly Ravindra was choked to hear Long An's words on target. Now, as An hugged her a warm feeling suddenly enveloped Ravindra's heart.
Little boy, you are right. I was wrong all along. I was the one who was afraid to feel sadness and loneliness. Not believing in affection for being too afraid my heart would be hurt Rava said inwardly.
“Can I trust you and your mom?” asked Rava in a soft tone.
Long An smiled in Ravindra's arms.
“Uncle, can trust An and also mama. Origin uncle did not relinquish that trust in us.”
A second later, Rava smiled. For some reason, a cold feeling that froze his heart. Started to feel the warmth.
“Mama, really like lotus flowers. Uncle must remember that.” Long An said with a smile on his face.
Rava smiled hearing that. He will always remember. Irene loved lotus flowers.
