Chapter 2

After a few weeks my condition started to get better, my body didn't feel hurt anymore and my hands were also healed. The good news is that I'll be home soon, finally the moment I've been waiting for, has arrived. But something still stuck in my mind, in my state of being in a coma for three months I didn't hear at all from Mama who took the time to visit me.
Especially Lana, i can't believe that she doesn't take the time to see my condition. Maybe it's because we've been apart for so long that she’s forgotten that she has twin sister.

After get dressed, I walked out with Papa who had just finished talking to Doctor Reyna about my condition and didn't forget to thank her. Meanwhile at the exit there was a black car waiting for us, and the tattooed man that I've seen a lot since I woke up. When he met Papa as usual the tattooed man shook hands briefly with Papa, and finally we all got into the car with the tattooed man as the driver.

"This morning your Mama called to talk to you, but you were still sleeping. Don't forget to call her back Key." Papa suddenly broke the silence.

"Leave it, Pa, Key is too lazy to talk about it."

"You have to Key, how long do you want to keep your distance from your Mama?"

Maintain a distance? Am I keeping my distance? All this time what had happened was the opposite, Mama who always kept her distance from me. Mama's new life doesn't seem to give me a place, well at least I still have Papa right.

Papa who always took care of me since I was little, Papa who always came to school when I made trouble, Papa who was always there for me instead of Mama. So maybe now I have no reason to talk to Mama, I'm used to being without her anyway.

"Key never keeps his distance, Pa, i is only protecting myself. Doesn't Mama also not care if Key lives or dies, the proof is that Mama didn't come to see me in the hospital. Even though Key was in a coma, Key shouldn't have to wake up at all."

"Kenna, you should be grateful for being given a second chance. Who said your Mama didn't visit you? The day after your accident your Mama came right away. She even took care of you for two months, but because of Ananda's marriage she had to go home."

"It's okay Pa, I don't want to talk about it."

My happy mood ruined instantly because of the topic that Papa deliberately discussed. Maybe the situation would have been different if Mama had stayed in Jakarta, but unfortunately Mama chose another path. Yes, maybe Mama has a reason, maybe because of Mama's love for her husband but at least Mama should understand a little bit about my feelings. Because after all a child is never taught to hate, unless situation tell them to do so and no one to fix it.

The car stopped in a familiar yard, I immediately got out of the car and was greeted by a middle-aged woman who cried when she saw me. Who else if not Sri, she is our maid. I prefer to call Sri as my Mama because she has taken care of me and Harris since our childhood.

"Miss Key."  Sri immediately hugged me, and I hugged her too.

"Come on, don't cry, I'm already here, right. Now I'm hungry." I held my stomach dramatically. I swear by whatever, I prefer home food to hospital food.

"Yes, let's go in, I have cooked a lot of your favorite food, miss."

I helped Sri prepare the food on the dining table, while chatting about small things. Shortly after the food was set, Harris suddenly came. For a moment no one spoke, only the sound of spoons, forks and plates clashing as if talking to each other. I don't remember half of what happened in my own life, and I want to know everything. But sadly, why only half of my memory is missing, if I could ask, I'd rather forget who my Mama is. That seems better.
