CARRIER (When Destiny Reigns )
season 2 chapter 2


Andrea Dinata, Dinata comes from the last name of the family. Andrea gave me Mom and Dad. I don't know what kind of wind makes them one-word, Andrea. Andrea which means manly, strong, manly and masculine. But there is a story from the giving of my name.


After forty days of my Grandpa and Grandma's departure, that's when I was born. My birth became the cause of my strong return and the rise of my father. Well, the departure of my Grandpa and Grandma together, made my father slumped. I don't know what made my dad so sad. It was as if he had lost half his soul.


Mother who was holding me in her old pregnancy, became the only figure who never tired of encouraging Dad. Support and remind Dad that you're not alone. However, the figure of Grandpa and Grandma that is so important in my life, making it difficult for Mom to restore the spirit of Father.


Day after day I passed with sadness while continuing to shut myself up. Dad is not excited to go to work, even dad had a hunger strike for a week. My mother was patient, calming me. Well, that was all my mom could do at the time.


My Uncle-Uncle was unrelenting to come and motivate Dad. That they need my father, it's not like Dad's kept in his slump. But again, it did not produce results. Dad is still in his grief.


Until my birth. My strong and loud cries, as well as my form that so resembled Grandfather, made Father wake up. The spirit of Ayapun is back. Father wholeheartedly welcomed my birth with happiness.this made Mother and all my Uncles happy.my presence became the beginning of kindness after a long time slumped in sadness.


I try to interact with me a lot. Take his busy time to play with me. Understandably, the fall of Dad, managed to make many projects stuck. Because my Uncle was not so good at working on it, until my Uncle decided to postpone it for a while. Dad's busyness is not a reason for Dad to spoil me and my mother.


This was reinforced by Grandfather's words. You have to put your family first, because family is the real life. Success will come when the time comes. Grandpa's life principles have always been a strong hold in my life.


Time for the name determination. That night was exactly a week old, Mom and Dad were sitting on a white bed. A dark night with the sky roaring. It was raining heavily with such strong winds. It was a really cold night, until Mom wrapped her body with a very thick blanket. While I was in the warmth of Dad's embrace.


“Bu, what name is appropriate for our boy?”


“Name? I have kept a name in my heart. It's just, I doubt I'll say it. I don't want to get ahead of Dad.”


“Really? If it's a good name, I'll give up. At least, it's a sign of reply to your patience during this.”


“Don't do that, name is prayer. I want you Mas, as his father chose. You and your father became someone I have admired so much. Until I think, you will definitely choose the best name for our first son.”


Huh !!!


“Alright! I hope you agree, honey. I want to give you the name Andrea Dinata. How?”


“I agree, even that same name that is in my heart, Mas.”


“Really? That's also the name you mean, baby?”


“Yeah, andrea which means strong, brave, manly. I hope he will become that man someday.”


Dad's warm kiss landed on Mom's forehead. Father's gallant arms reach for mother's waist. I was witness to the warmth that night. Mom and I were taking refuge in Dad's chest.


Andrea Dinata also began to be known in the big family. Even my name has reached the ears of your business associates. The name of the first grandson of the Dinata and Atmaja families. Two families are giant businessmen. In the end, I became a conversation of many people. Where someday I will be the heir to continue my father's business.


From childhood I was taken care of by my mother, without the help of anyone else. I was even in regular school. It's not that my family can't afford it, it's just that Dad wants to teach me simple living. Without the power and wealth, Dad wanted me to learn as much as my father did in my youth.


There was no objection, because my father and mother had the same principles in educating me. Even happier, my elementary school days went on like any other child's life. Play and learn, without being afraid and picky friends.


My mother never forbade me to bring my friends to play at home. In fact, Mother wholeheartedly invites them to study together. I am willing to call my teacher to help us all learn. This is because my mother knows that many of my friends do not have the ability to pay for additional study.


Mother often even made us snacks, cakes and fresh drinks handmade by my mother. It made me proud, my mother, who was so respected and glorified by other business partners, humbly soiled her hands to provide healthy food for all of us.


It's not that hard for Mom to ask my house worker to provide, but Mom wants to teach me, that my mom is a Mom, just like any other Mom. Play and provide food for his son's schoolmates.


Mother was also not ashamed to play with us, even Mother deliberately accompanied us to play just to record and witness our happiness firsthand. My laugh and my cheerful smile, it became the most beautiful moment for Mom.


Mother always wrote down the moments she had passed. Not a day is missed, I write a lot of things. Mom wants, Mom's writing will be the best recording of her life story. Even this habit of Mother, to make Dad shake his head. Dad was so salute, neat handwriting. To the point that I thought, aren't you tired of doing this every day?


Every time this is questioned Dad, my mom just smiled and said “ no word tired, for you guys I love.”


Those words made it so hard for me to forget Mom. My mother died at such a young age. I was twelve years old then. The rapid departure of Mother without any attacking pain, made me and Dad so devastated.


The pain and hardship that my father and I have experienced. Losing the figure of a beautiful and gentle angel, made our lives dim.


That afternoon was my birthday. Mom and Dad are planning a little party. Well, Mom and Dad purposely kept this a secret. They don't want to, your business associates are boisterous celebrating. Until it was decided to do a family night with my uncles.


A bright afternoon, the sun shines brightly with a cool breeze. Garden Party with full white ribbon decoration between green plants. Lights made of fire seemed to describe the atmosphere of the village party. The white chairs and tables are arranged. Cakes and other food have been served at the dinner table. Fresh fruit and drinks looked attractive, it had all been neatly arranged at each table. The green grass and garden tent successfully perfected the decoration of the night. That's all Mom's advice. Mother also asked to arrange all her ornamental flowers, lined up along the way.


A simple and luxurious party. That afternoon, one by one my uncle had come to attend my birthday celebration. For some reason, at my age, Mom asked for a simple party that the whole family attended. Usually Mom and Dad just throw a party to call my friends, sharing happiness only. A little party is like any other children's party.


All the guests present were wearing all-white clothes, this was also my request. White symbolizes purity, cleanness and honesty, like the life principles of the late Grandpa. That's why Mom, when asked why she chose that color.Because my Dad and Uncle knew right, white wasn't Mom's favorite color.
