Missing In The Heart
Chapter 7.Mahavir's Past Flashback....
Mahavir was stunned in front of the mirror looking at his reflection, in his tall strapping body had been attached a white suit.
Soon she will marry the woman she has been secretly in love with.
The pleasure and sadness mixed into one, the pleasure is very extraordinary because it could finally marry a Rachel but then tucked away the sadness of not being able to be honest with her true identity.
"I don't know until when I'll keep deceiving you....
For more than 10 years I clapped my hands...
holding feelings alone...
who can only miss you in the heart...
loving you endlessly....
I can finally conquer you with my new identity....
May your heart slowly accept me.... "
Mahavir looked at his current appearance trying to compare with his former appearance. A very contrasting difference. Anyone who saw definitely would not have expected himself to change as he is today. Still vividly remembered in his memories how bad he used to be!
Mahavir then recalled the incident 15 years ago when he first saw Rachel.
Mahavir met Rachel when she was 13 years old at the Orphanage where she grew up.
Formerly Ibu Mahavir was one of the workers at the Orphanage, but later died of illness when Mahavir was only 5 years old, since then Mahavir was treated and raised in the Orphanage. Until the age of 12, when Mahavir graduated from elementary school and could not continue school again, he worked in his mother's place and lived together with other Orphans.
One day a little boy who was the son of a Orphanage donor where he grew up celebrated his birthday in the orphanage, the little boy was accompanied by a mother and a sweet girl who was his older sister. The sweet young girl was so shining like a royal princess that Mahavir could not turn away as soon as he saw her.
Since then Mahavir has often waited at the red light speed just to see the cute girl leaving for school every day.
There were times when he pretended to be a busker, or a candy seller to be able to get close to the girl's car. And his heart would be very happy when the girl took out her hand and gave him some large sums of money.
Once Mahavir was hit by a car while trying to get close to the sweet girl's car, and in a panic the sweet girl went down and treated the blisters on her body. This made Mahavir more convinced the sweet girl as an angel.
One day Mahavir followed the girl to school, climbing a tall tree just to see the girl
learn.
Almost a week long Mahavir can be free to look at the girl studying in her class from the top of the tree, besides that Mahavir also be able to participate in learning. Sometimes Mahavir took notes on the blackboard in the class and studied it when he returned to the orphanage where he lived.
Until one day a security from the school saw him hanging on a tree and tried to expel him. As he was about to get off the tree, he lost his balance and eventually fell and made him hospitalized.
The incident was heard into the ears of the father who founded the great school. That kind-hearted father was the first one he saw when he finally woke up in the hospital room.
"Are you okay?" ask the father who was replied with a nod by Mahavir. "what are you doing on that tree?" ask the father again.
Mahavir thought for a moment.
"learn..." Answer Mahavir.
"Do you want to go to school?" Ask the father again.
"I.. Iyya.. Mau" said Mahavir happy at the time.
Mahavir did not lie, because it was deep in his heart he really wanted to go back to school.
And finally Mahavir was educated at Langdon international school where the girl went to school. When entering the school Mahavir only realized that it was not the place he should be, the students who attended the school there were not children from among the like him.
Mahavir who was coming to school at that time used a different uniform,
He uses a worn shirt, dark blue pants that look oversized with 2 pins on his waist, serves to hold the pants so as not to overdrawn. His right leg t-shirt looks sagging and held by a rubber band. While his shoes are only made of waterproof plastic material.
His body was thin dry, his skin was dark in color, and his hair was curling irregularly, his fingernails looking blackened on the sidelines. When Mahavir laughs, his big teeth and yellow make people feel disgusted to be close to him.
This is in stark contrast to the appearance of the children in the school that the average person is in.
Mahavir should have just entered school when his uniform was there, but Mahavir was so eager to go to school that he finally used a uniform that was different from the rest of the students.
Mahavir then placed in the class next to the class of sweet girl.
He who was just a child from an orphanage with dirty appearance every day became the months of the school students.
"Dirman M, short for Dirman Mahavir"
That's Mahavir's real name, but the kids at the school always mocked and parodied his name, and called him "Dirty" which means "dirty".
Several times Mahavir was bullied by his friends, and the sweet girl who sometimes came to his aid.
Once Mahavir hid in tears behind the school building because he could not stand the ridicule of his friend. He crouched down on the corner of the wall while hiding his head between his knees, and cried out.
..And then the girl greeted him gently...
"Hey..cowok how to cry??" The girl suddenly said
Mahavir raised his face and was surprised to see the figure of the girl in front of him.
"More.. Wipe her tears" She said softly while giving a princess-patterned handkerchief.
"You're here to learn, right? So don't put into the heart of all those children's words, assume they're just the wind." The girl chuckled a little. "Passion yah...!!" continued.
Mahavir was just stunned in silence and observed the sweet smiling girl. The girl continued to chatter giving him spirit. Comfort him and lift his spirits. Even the girl gave the words that made Mahavir immediately hope that soon it might be a successful person.
Then at that time Mahavir finally found out the name of the sweet girl after reading the nametag attached to her uniform.
"Rachel Sasmita Wijaya"
he said in his heart repeatedly trying to remember it.
Since then Mahavir has tried hard to survive in that school. Mahavir learned earnestly in order to rival the children there.
His next class increase Mahavir could get into the top 10. This makes the kind-hearted father who sent her to school feel proud and invited her to visit her big house.
The kind-hearted father even invited him to stay together but Mahavir refused him subtly and instead asked for a job.
Every day Mahavir will come to the mansion to help clean the yard or just accompany Rachel's 3-year-old sister to play.
Several times Mahavir greeted the girl named Rachel, trying to get more familiar with her. But the girl no longer wanted to see herself. And even being cold to her.
Prof.Wijaya really likes Mahavir because of his polite and clever character. Mr. Wijaya promised to finance all the cost of Mahavir's life until college and work later.
The longer Mahavir more familiar with Pak Wijaya, until Pak Wijaya asked Mahavir to call Pak Wijaya with the title of uncle and his wife Ny. Amitha as aunt. They treated Mahavir like their own son.
Year after year changed, Mahavir who was born smart was always the first rank and shifted Rachel's position. It made her further away from Rachel.
Mahavir grew up to be a smart teenager but that did not necessarily make him have many friends.
Mahavir Teens who had only wanted to make friends with Rachel secretly grew into a love and fell in love with her.
When in Secondary School the third year finally hope Mahavir can class with Rachel was granted. All good students are gathered in the same class.
A class with Rachel turns out not to make her closer to the girl, not even once did Rachel want to see her. The girl seemed to think of Mahavir like a caterpillar to be shunned.
When they cross paths accidentally in the cafeteria, Rachel will immediately turn around and throw her face away. Sometimes the girl even laughed when someone mocked Mahavir.
Rachel who was then a popular girl began to make friends and form a genk with several other beautiful girls, her nature began to haughty following the style of her friends.
One day Rachel makes a bet involving Mahavir, whether the bet is what it is and the loser is required to be able to seduce Mahavir to be his girlfriend.
Finally Rachel is the loser, Mahavir who does not know to feel very happy suddenly visited by Rachel and invite her to date.
The next day Mahavir who was still very innocent with his stupid and high confidence brought a bouquet of flowers and dolls and then announced in the middle of the field that he was dating Rachel.
Suddenly it makes boisterous one school, Rachel's anger exploded. Rachel then comes to Mahavir to vent her anger but instead wreaks havoc on herself.
As Mahavir knelt handed him a bouquet of flowers and a doll, Rachel angrily pulled the object intending to throw it without noticing the ribbons of the two objects dangling down and made him stumble and fall towards Mahavir.
Their lips touched each other, while Mahavir's hands caught his twin hills. Worse, it was witnessed by a school.
The incident makes Rachel embarrassed to go back to school. Rachel kept herself in her room for a week, and Mahavir always came to her house to apologize. Rachel doesn't want to go back to school until Mahavir is expelled. Her parents had persuaded her many times but Rachel remained adamant on her wishes.
Finally, with a heavy heart, Mr. Wijaya moved Mahavir to another school.
After transferring schools Mahavir still often secretly keeps Rachel from afar.
Rachel's physical beauty makes her popular outside of school, and makes boys from other schools often come to disturb her.
Some of those who are rejected are sometimes dissatisfied and intend to disturb Rachel, but Mahavir always manages to thwart her.
The peak of the problem that occurred was when the day of school graduation, Langdon International school held a Promnight in a Hotel. Mahavir hears a boy from his school who has been rejected many times by Rachel will do bad things to Rachel at the hotel. Hearing the news, Mahavir ran to the hotel,
When Mahavir arrived at the hotel he had not found Rachel in the Hall where the Promnight took place, Mahavir immediately looked for Mr. Wijaya and reported the bad news he had heard.
Mahavir then combed through each room on each floor looking for Rachel's whereabouts, fortunately from a distance he had seen someone carrying Rachel into the room.
Mahavir ran and then broke down the door of the hotel room, he found the child who was in school with him was trying to remove Rachel's dress. Mahavir quickly grabbed the vase on the table near the entrance and threw it at the man until he fell to the floor.
Rachel seems half-conscious when Mahavir tries to re-dress her dress, and it causes a misunderstanding on Rachel, the girl rebelling at Mahavir for thinking she will be raped.
At that time from behind the man who fell earlier suddenly hit Mahavir's head using an iron lamp post and made him fall on Rachel's body, Rachel who fell and then slowly lost consciousness.
A man of English descent who happened to pass through the room saw the incident, and tried to catch the boy who hit Mahavir, but he fled. Seeing the badly injured Mahavir in his head and the fainted Rachel, the stranger took them to a nearby hospital.
There the foreign man met Mr. Wijaya who turned out to be his old friend while studying in London.
Mahavir who was spending a lot of blood needed a blood donor AB, and it happened that the foreign man of Mr. Wijaya's friend was the same blood type and finally donated his blood to Mahavir.
When Mahavir has been transferred to the ICU, the foreign man finds a mahavir face that is exactly the face of his wife who has long disappeared. The foreign man did a DNA test and eventually found out that Mahavir was his flesh and blood.
Once knowing Mahavir was the son he had been looking for, the foreign man finally brought Mahavir who was in a coma to be treated in England.
That's how they ended up separated until 10 years later they were reunited. And united by a path that is almost similar to the events of the past.

Geck... Geck.. Geck...
The sound of knocking on the door blew away Mahavir's daydream in front of the mirror.
"Have you finished Vir?" Tanya Pak Wijaya approached Mahavir.
"Yes uncle"
"In the near future you will be my son as well so change your call to daddy" said Mr. Wijaya squeezing Mahavir's shoulder.
"Yeah Dad... Daddy... " Said Mahavir Doubtfully.
"Vir, you know Rachel's nature, she's unruly and unhappy about being forced. If he's missing you should be able to manage him, don't be too weak on him. Now that you are Mahavir Alister, behave like a real man."
"Good dad... Thank you for daddy's kindness all along." Mahavir then hugged Pak Wijaya tightly.
"But.... "
"But what is dad...?" Mahavir asked confusedly"
Mr. Wijaya then whispered into Mahavir's ear "If Rachel isn't ready you don't force her well... " Bisik Pak Wijaya made Mahavir wrong.
"That Mahavir can't promise dad... " Say Mahavir then greeted by laughter Pak Wijaya.
