WHEN MY FACE CHANGED
The past of Jessica

**flashback On

Jessica cried so hard to see her dying mother in the hospital bed. The doctor told him to come in because he was called by his mother. Jessica quickly went inside to see her mother who had been a few days aware of her coma. His mother looked at Jessica as she rubbed the hand of the girl who was just a dozen years old.

“Nak, forgive mom.” Sobbed.

“No...nothing to forgive, mom never made a mistake.” Jessica said.

“Nak...listen to mom.” He said again in a weak tone.

“Maybe mom won't be long, to-please take care of your sister huh ? please be happy with her.”

“No..Mom must be healed. Mom must be healthy, let's pray together mom ask God to heal quickly and live with us.” Jessica's tears are flowing.

“Jessi, maybe your whole life has not received much affection from your mother and late father. But...mom can you ask for help because it has given birth to you in this world ?”

“Mom can ask for help whatever ma'am, as long as I stay here with Jessi and Jordan. Let's get well mom, we need mom.” His issue.

“Son, as the mother who gave birth to you, I want to leave Jordan to you, please take care and be happy she son. Please don't hurt him, because he doesn't know anything. Uhuk..

“Ka-if you can, please try to get him to study abroad. In accordance with mother's promise to her, can you please ?” added again. Jessica is speechless, she just wants her mother's recovery now.

“You should bi-sa be his un-tuk pung-gung bone. Uhuk-uhuk” Jessica tightened her grip as if strengthening the Mother.

“Once again forgive Mom and Dad son, congratulations ting...”.

“NOTKKKKK...IBUU...WAKE MOM...I CAN'T CATCH UP WITH DAD, I HAVE TO STAY HERE...the hysterical IBUUU” Jessica did not heed the words of the sisters who told her to calm down. He cried loudly looking at the mother who was lifeless on the bed.

Julianna Romantika, 37 years old was declared dead on April 12, 2012 at 11.00 WIB at Andalankita hospital.

“Call first, Mother is calm now. I no longer feel pain, now I am healed and happy in heaven. Can't cry anymore, right ? later if his sister sees his brother crying, he also goes along nangis.” The nurse tried to calm Jessica's tears.

“I-Mom no longer feel pain huh sus ?” Jessica asked, wiping away tears. The sister nodded with a smile that always bloomed in her lips.

“But why after recovery should go to heaven ? why don't you stay with Jessica and Jordan?” Ask Jessica plainly. The sister smiled faintly, her heart also ached hearing the question of the girl in front of her.

“Propay yes dear, you are a strong child.” Rubbing Jessica's face, there were no tears that the sister was dripping staring at the grieving child.

“Now you go home first yes, he said earlier his sister has not been picked up at school huh?” ask the nurse who has been called by the doctor to help him.

“Iya sus, happy working sister. Great sisters, can take care of the sick to get to heaven.” Jessica said innocently to give a sincere encouragement to the sister. luckily the nurse did not hear it anymore because of Jessica's already weak voice. He stared blankly ahead, remembering the message delivered by his late mother. Then he ran to pick up the sibungsu who was waiting for him at school.

“If I told you Jordan was crying no huh ? is he going to look for Mom ?” the questions that popped up in the head of the girl made her arrive in front of her sister's school.

“Kakak, why so long.” Asked Jordan who looked hungry while holding his carry bag.

“I'm from the hospital see Mom.” He answered, took Jordan's bag, and took the boy to follow his path.

“Ahh, mother why not get up-wake up ? doesn't he want to see us again ?” Ask Jordan ngasal.

Jessica was silent, not wanting to make her sister cry on the street. Before going to the house, Jessica invites Jordan to eat at the foot of five. He ordered the man's favorite chicken noodle. Jordan, who had been seen limp, now smiled broadly at what his brother had ordered.

“Wahhh.. We eat chicken noodles again ? don't you get mad if you know we're eating noodles again?” Ask Jordan sumringah.

I made her happy, didn't I ? Even on the day of your death I can make her smile like this. Jessica's inner self with a hollow feeling.

Flashback Off**

Now Jessica managed to grant Mom's messages, take good care of Jordan, give her education abroad, never once did Jessica miss the delivery of fees for the youngest. In fact, he often sends it even though it is not the exact date of delivery, he understands very well the cost of living abroad is not cheap.

“How's mom ? am I good enough to be a backbone for Jordan ?” His sobs.

On the other hand, Sherina who had just returned from the cafe was walking gontai towards her room. But Sherina accidentally heard her brother's chat with someone over the phone, stopping her step in front of Erick's room. He brought his ear closer to the door of the man's room with a curious face. It's not usually Sherina eavesdropping on Erick's talk, but this time it's somehow what makes the woman look curious.

What is he talking about ? why does it sound like my brother is so angry ? what is the office problem ? Inner Sherina heard the elder cursing at the person she was talking to. I don't know what the man said that made Erick angry.

Sherina rushes to her room when she does not hear any sound, knowing that the phone connection has been cut off because of the last time Erick heard the swearing and threat to the interlocutor.

“HUH” Sherina stands behind the door after closing the room door while holding the chest. 

“Save luck..”

Tok.tokk...

Sherina's heart stopped beating when she heard a knock from behind her bedroom door.

“Sherina...Sherin..” Call someone from outside.

Sherina quickly opened the door and put on a face like she knew nothing.

“Kakak ? What's up ?” He smiled broadly.

“You just got home ?” Erick folded his hands in front of his chest.

“Eeee... Yes brother, why ? Tumben brother here just asked that.” Sherina said with a confused face.

“Nothing, rest.” Erick said as he left Sherina. Sherina stared at the puzzled departure of her brother who she thought was something strange.

“Tumben she's down again.” Sherina muttered that Erick went to the 1st floor.

Sherina quickly ran towards the window of her room, peering out to where Erick's car was.

“He wants to go where the nights are like?” He muttered again when he saw Erick get into the car.

“Any. Why is his attitude so strange ? is it just my feelings ? She was also angry on the phone.” Sherina sat on the edge of the bed thinking about why her sister left that night in such a hurry.
