Happy at the End of the Dusk
Past Dad 1

Aahh dad, your past is complicated enough for your little daughter!.

...~Syeza Anastasia...

After discussing about my childhood with Fino, the man I referred to as my handsome man, my eyes again focused on glancing towards the room in front of us.

aah, maybe fino can help me get into this room?.

"What's wrong, miss? is there something you need?"

"Well, where's dad?"

"The big man is out of town"

"How long will you be there?"

"Just for a second, maybe tomorrow we'll be home!"

"Did the ficral also go with dad?"

"Yh the ficral lord also went with the great master"

I deserve I haven't seen him in a few days!.

"What's wrong, miss? is there something you need?"

"Can you help me?"

"Help?"

"Yah!"

"Well, what's helping, miss?"

"Help me to get into this room!"

"Went into this room?"

"Yah!"

I'm nodding.

"I'm sorry miss I can't help you! the great lord forbids anyone to enter this room"

"Including me is his daughter?"

Fino fell silent.

"You know? dad is so mysterious and complicated for me! I want to know about Dad!"

I'm taking a breath.

"So give me the key! I want to get in! I'm sure this room can help me solve a father's problem so complicated for his daughter!"

"But miss.....,"

"You didn't listen to me? I said I wanted to come in!"

"Sorry miss I can't give it to you"

I'm taking a breath.

Ah how is it? what do I do to get Fino to give me the keys to this room?.

"What do I do to get you to give me the key?"

Fino was silent.

"Do I have to kneel to you first?"

I sat down on my knees in front of Fino.

"Miss! what the hell are you doing? you're gonna make people think no-no! stand up!"

I'm shaking.

"I won't stand until you give me the key!"

"Well, is it time?"

Inner fino.

Fino seemed to be breathing.

"Alright I'll give you the keys so stand up! don't kneel like that!"

I smiled happily and stood up.

Fino then took the key from his suit pocket and gave it to me.

"Are you the one who's in charge of this room? thank you!"

I took the key and opened the door to the room.

"Do you need company?"

"You don't mind if you accompany me?"

"Not at all, miss!"

"Aahh but it's okay I can be alone!"

"I think there's a lot of rats hanging around"

I stopped my hand that was about to open the door algae and turned towards it.

"You know the animal I'm afraid of?"

"No! I'm just guessing!"

Fino shrugged both of her shoulders with an ignorant expression, she then casually opened the door and stepped in.

"Well! what was that just now? why is his expression like that? aahh but why does he even look handsome with such an expression? aiss what am I thinking?!"

I shook my head and walked in.

Ah the room looks dimly lit by the light.

"Fin, is there no lighting in this room?"

"So soon, I'll check it out!"

I'm nodding.

Fino then tried to find the light switch and turned it on.

i smile.

Ah this room looks neat, the goods are well arranged, it does not look like a warehouse! this room is always cleaned.

"Ah I think there are no rats in this room at all! if you want to accompany me there is no need to scare me"

I then casually stepped over to a frame covered by a white cloth.

When my hand was about to open the white cloth, fino immediately held my hand.

I looked at him and smiled.

"I already know fin, it's just that I want to make sure I'm more sure! so that I can also find the red thread!"

Fino then slowly let go of her hand grip.

I then reopened the cloth.

"But miss.....,"

I looked, Fino looked panicked.

"Great master will definitely be very angry miss"

I smile.

"Do you believe me?"

I looked at him fixedly, fino stared at me fixedly.

"I'm sure Fin, you must know my father well, right? you must know everything in this room, right? you must know everything about my father! while me? I'm fin's daughter! but this daughter doesn't know her father! I don't even know why you faked your identity! but I'm sure you know the reason, right? you must know I'm hiding something big from me!"

I took a deep breath.

"Although I don't know my father very well but, I'm sure my father wasn't that cruel, was he? my dad's a good guy, right?"

Dino fell silent.

"Can you trust me like you trust my father? let me find the red thread! because I'm sure you won't tell me until I find him myself! so, can you do that for me?"

Fino seemed to take a breath, he then looked at me fixedly.

"I trust you!"

"Thank you!"

I smiled and opened the white cloth.

When the cloth is open, it is clearly visible the image in the frame.

I smiled a little.

Ah the frame looks very well maintained there is no dust attached there, I must have ordered the housekeeper to always clean it.

I don't need to be surprised, either, not by the pictures posted there? because I have convinced my heart.

Do you know what pictures are on the frame? there are a father and two women who smile sweetly to the right and left of father, one woman I know as my mother and the other? and there was me and a boy too! ah this boy and this woman I'm trying to figure out who they really are? the people who are in the frame also look happy, if indeed this woman is also my mother and this boy is my brother, it means is my family a harmonious family? a very happy family? then why did we split up? where's my father's first wife and my older brother? why do you have to hide this from me? what the hell is going on?.

I then rubbed the picture that was in that frame.

Ah where are you guys now?'is there a chance to meet you? a sister? you're my brother? do I really have an older brother? but where are you now, brother?.

I wiped away my tears that had suddenly flowed, then looked back at the boy's face in a fixed manner.

Wait, I just realized it! something is different, why do I feel familiar with this boy? I feel like I've seen it! his eyes?! his eyes look familiar! but who?.

"Miss you okay?"

Fino's voice sounded worried.

"Aahh Iyh good fin!"

I smiled at him.

"Fin, is this a picture of my family?"

"Lady!"

Fino smiled and nodded small.

"Aahh so dad has two wives huh? and I also have an older brother?"

Dino was silent.

I took a breath and closed the frame again and tried to find other evidence so I could make it the strongest evidence for my father to tell me everything.

My eyes suddenly fell on a medium-sized box in a desk drawer.

I then took the box and opened it, in the box there is a photo album, I then opened the album, on each sheet there are various photos of my family.

On the first page, the exact same picture as the last frame, there are pictures of father, mother and I who are in the sling of father, and on the next sheet there is father, and so on the next sheet there is father, the woman and the boy who were in the sling of the father, ah this photo that I kept! then there was the picture of the father accompanied by the mother and the woman, the father with the mother, the father with the woman, there was the picture of me with the boy, then I was in the woman's arms and the boy was in the mother's arms, in the next sheets, and, there was me sitting at the table smiling happily at the woman in front of me, and I was hiding under the blanket with the boy, then the boy was seen embracing me while smiling sweetly at the camera while I was? ah why does my face look so sullen? there was another picture of me crying and pulling the boy's hand while the boy was dumb, then I was the one who was smiling happily towards the camera while the boy was hiding behind my back and many more.

I smiled and looked at the happy faces on the album.

On the last page I found a photograph, which included me, the boy and a boy who was probably about three years older than me.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Din, who's this boy?"

I asked without looking at the fino, my eyes focused on the unfamiliar boy's face.

Fino approached and looked at the boy's face.

Silent for a moment, no word from fino.

"Fin do you know him?"

I looked towards fino.

"No miss!"

"But why do I feel like I've met him?"

"Not just ever miss but, you even almost every day always meet her"

Inner fino.

"Then how did my brother and I get to take pictures with him?"

"Aahh I've heard the story that the great lord has a friend in London and his friend has a son who is 3 years older than the lady and I think maybe the lady and the master young friends with him"

"Did I have a childhood friend? are you still communicating with your old friend?"

Fino shook her head.

"Senjak moved to Indonesia the great master lost communication with his friend"

"Oh, that's how it looks!"

"Aiss those stupid assistants! did they forget this photo? why did this photo have to be left on this album?"

Inner fino.
