The Copy Master's
episode 10's. THE PAST MR. PENDID

it did not feel like the night was getting late and they were relieved by everything they were talking about tonight, and there was no look of sadness left from all three, either, what seems to be only a radiance of passion and hope that they are ready to achieve in the future.

the next day, they were sitting on the front porch of the cottage, sometimes they were seen laughing, very different from their initial meeting filled with sadness.

...00000000000...

seen today pendi did not concern himself with the work in his garden.

they seem to spend time telling stories. Currently their chatter is not only limited to mother and child, but rather to chat like a friend, but still within the limits of politeness between a child and his parents.

there were 1 question Joni. who made her father silent for a moment even Andre never thought about it at all.

''sis, actually I have 1 question that I want to hear from my father, because all this time I was curious.why our family is not like other families.they have grandparents, grandmothers, uncles, uncles, aunts and many more family relationships that start from family relationships.but why you never tell me about it. Even I know, my family is only father, mother, and,... and Andre's brother.

even when mom died, there were only you and the neighbors that I saw back then''.

joni said as he looked at his father who was instantly speechless,

in the heart of pendi actually he does not want his two children to know his past.

but this time, pendi believes that his two children are adults and it is time they know the truth.

seeing his father who was immediately speechless, Joni became confused whether it was difficult to tell the truth.is not supposed to be a pride if you have a lot of family, but why it seems like the father looks the opposite. jonathan asked in his heart...

after a moment of silence, the pendi began to answer what Joni asked him.

''the age of Andre is now 21 years and Joni 16 years. emm..

''okay, I will no longer cover it, because now you are adults and I believe you can take good things and can draw conclusions from what you will later describe to you, this will help you make the best decision...

alright, listen. and don't ask before you're done telling me everything but you wanted to apologize in advance on behalf of your late mother for keeping all of this a secret from you but we had no choice but to keep it a secret until you adults, we do it for the safety of your children''' said pak pendi firmly.

and pak pendi also told everything about his past and his wife until he lived and settled on this thumb island.

pak pendi actually when he was a child had twins. he had 3 siblings and 1 half-brother who were all brothers one twin and the other was his oldest brother, and the other was his older brother,

and the name Pendi and Sumiyati is a pseudonym that they have been using to cover their true identity because the name matches the circumstances and lives of the people here and also the name is suitable for both of them and they also have skin and face colors that are not too striking when compared to the original people here, only they look a little different height.

pak Pendi recounted that he and their mother were not from a central country, but from a Northern country, and he also explained all members of his family.

# his older brother is Marco Antoni

# his twin brother is Zea Antoni

# his half-brother is named Andre Antoni

# Sumiati's real name is Sarah

he is the only child of an arizman family, and his mother said she once told him she had a male cousin, but Pendi never met and knew of his whereabouts.

pak pendi has 2 uncles, namely the younger brother of Joni Antoni (his father)

rico Antoni's uncle, Ferdi Antoni.

uncle Rico has 2 sons and uncle Ferdi 1 male and 1 female.

but pendi did not know the name of his uncle's son.

and the name Joni and Andre is taken from the name of the father and the name of the half-brother of Pendi sir, because they are the best people in the life of peng pendi sir.

''my father used to be a wealthy man, but unlike your mother, your mother was born from a disadvantaged family.

but thanks to your mother, the father became what he is today. the father is happy and grateful to be able to meet and get love from your mother, because the family of the father is a very firm and disciplined family, because the family is very strict and disciplined, until family members from the smallest to the adult must obey this rule.''

said father while occasionally taking a deep breath.

''isn't discipline good'' said Andre asked.

''yes, discipline is good, but discipline is based on compassion, not discipline that leads to something that does not accept reason and does not see the surrounding conditions, he said, with violent punishment even against his own family members.

your grandfather and stepbrother were different figures from other families, because they both had affection.

at that time grandfather always tried to protect Andre from punishment but it was all in vain, because the rule was a hereditary rule of the Antoni family.and his father grandfather highly upholds the rules of this family.

so grandfather always calms Andre down after he's punished.

the three of us who were also his biological children were always envious of the attention of more than grandfather to Andre at that time, but we never realized the truth, even we thought Andre was a weak child, he said, and disobeying the rules. Andre never complained about the pain he suffered until his body was no longer able to hide it.

we were educated with discipline that knew no situation and reason.Besides andre he was often punished for not obeying these disciplinary rules, simply because he was helping someone who was in trouble. until he had to die at a young age because he was often punished with violence, he died of internal injuries in his stomach.'' said the father while wiping tears.

''when Andre died the three of us did not feel sadness at all, but all that changed after the father met the mother, at that time the father was about 18 years old and your mother was 14 years old.

it was the first time Grandpa came to the father's room, and said hope to the father, at that time the father just silently did not understand the purpose of the message of grandfather to the father.

it was your mother who taught and told you about your grandfather's expectations at that time.

at first I found it a bit difficult to accept affection.However, my heart always felt very calm when hearing the explanation and parable parables that your mother described at that time.''
