Luckily for me everyone in
my family is a dreamer and strong mind.
Mom, Dad..
It is the rainy season was
supposed, but I did not find a drop of water to mark the coolness of soul. 15
September 2005, I was lying on a piece of blue cloth that covered most of the
body of green grass. The face that slammed the wind, whisper a peace on the
both ears. Eyes were entertained by the dance group of pigeons browned. And I'm
in reconciled by the time the spoil in justice. Unfortunately, unhappy thing,
shared with others. In because they has changed, they were not as usual, and
because of it, they away.
The silence became the best
friends, always told him even without reaping the desired results. Maybe this
is better than in the case souls to be disturbed and slapped by a problem that
makes it more better frail. Perhaps, this is better.
At that time, Boredom was
sipping life. Although the wind was try its best to caress the surface of the
crystal clear lake water. Green surface, pure content. Make it beautiful, make
it live, making it soft, making it different. But I remained glued to the
reverie that brings me to the level of beauty.
I tempted to think of my
boundary line. I am a dreamer woman who hopes the dreams become real. I am a
woman, dreaming too much to make life go back to the beginning. In its proper
place, on the way that brings the happiness intact. Straight path, without
curves, without blocking of thorns in every step for achieving the perfection
of life.
I was affected in the
condition. Pure gaze transformed into empty. My mind was swinging in the room
and others things. I was preoccupied with the hope that there might be real.
Then I thought of the dark past. Where I have to fight for the name of the
hardness of heart of a woman, I am strong even in the overflow of tears.
16 years ago, when a simple
house to be a house that is very special in the eyes of others. A house that is
envied by millions of souls. A house that has been accustomed to be inundated
by the laughter, the clamor of the story of the past, the real depicted through
the happy of photo albums. Unfortunately, the photo album will forever be a
thing that should be, the memories of the past that could not be strung
together again.
Just like a happy life,
although composed of simple components. We were supposed instill role, which is
like should be, with reasonable size. I am the eldest child and the youngest
child of a father who is very romantic. I am a Nur Ningsih 16 year old girl
born from a mother who is pretty and hardworking.
I'm very happy, having a
small warm family. As a twilight that arrives in the warmth, not cold or hot. I
always hope in the night, so that the night would understand dryness heart, so
that the night would hasten away and get away until bring back again the
twilight in the warmth and hope that should be forever like that in the warm.
Twilight had finally come.
Right in the straight line, on the corner of the house I was waiting. I moved
in front of the window of house that unobstructed curtain of bamboo as a sun
protector. I open little by little, until the warm twilight entered blemish curtain
and penetrate window glass.
I did not intentionally,
seen a middle-aged man and woman back to the vision. They stood on the home
page and did a tremendous strife. The man was wearing a dark blue shirt with
light hitting her head with his own hands.
I spontaneously screamed
inwardly. Not a word or a piece screams coming out of my mouth. Only my eyes
bulging out, observing deeply what really happened. My body limp, as if my
joints already exhausted by the water boiled and frozen, chilling me to stand, as
in battle, the fear sweat dripping exhausted.
Middle-aged woman was
crying so sad, then she tried to slap him with harsh words. He was not running
out of ways to satisfy lust anger. He uses his right leg and pushed the female
body. The woman was dropped off at a plot of moist soil. Her left cheek struck
down of sharp gravel that has a rough surface. Therefore, the strong
encouragement and friction between two surfaces which was not flat, it must
inevitably smooth cheeks to be scratched and bloody.
I was an innocent girl said
them and never have the experience of violence in any form. The incident was a
very valuable experience for me to take any action and smart to keep it away
from anyone. I turned my face in the opposite direction. My heart was unable to
continue and watch what will happen after that. Not infrequently, curiosity to
intervene and stop the atrocities that raged in my heart. But unfortunately
fear greater than any sense whatsoever.
And now, my mind is more
control of my body than my heart to keep watch what will happen next. I also
turned my body back and stared at the court house where a brawl that took place
earlier.
I looked at it carefully,
every inch scenery, every corner of the court, but I also did not find a man
and a middle-aged woman in the place. There was no sign of violence took place.
There was no sound at all the fray again. All the circumstances were changing
so quickly. The change was not until my follow well.
I returned to my room,
pulled the covers and re-think about it. The figure they are not so clearly
because of foliage, as familiar to me. From their body language, their
gestures, body posture, voice shrill. Ah. . I don’t know, from where it can be
definitely inferred. But why this feeling becomes sad and hurt.
My reverie interrupted,
when I heard a knock on the door room flowing in my ears, I snapped.
"Tok-tok-tok,,,, honey .... you in? your mom would come in, open the door,
girl,,, "
I hasten to get out of my
bed and opened the door for mom. "Mom? You have reached home? Usually you
back to home late at night "I said, softly.
"Yes, honey, your
father picked me to go home because she said you were sick and did not want to
go to school today, is that honey?" Said my mo, full of attention gently
stroking my hair black.
"Yes mom, I was not
feeling well this morning. But not anymore. I am good now. See this mom.. am I
a stronger, right? "(Open right sleeve and show off my muscles owned
small). We laughed together with jokes that tickled the stomach.
As the jokes was running, I
became aware of something that escaped from my sight. There was a bandage that
adorn to the left mom’s cheek. Which part of the body bandages covered by
hairs.
Then I was asked in a tone
that is all that softness. "Mom, what is that in your face? You hurt?
"Then she replied,
"Oh, this? no honey, I
am good "only minor injuries as a result of a car door. I am too want to
make became fast to enter the house so I was not careful to pay attention to
the streets until finally cheek become like this."
Odd reason it beats in my
heart, I ask for the truth, once again. "Is it true mom? Aren’t you lie?
"
"Of course not, honey.
How could you think I'm lying? ". Said her.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm
sorry your dubious honesty."
"Yes, hony, there's nothing that can be
debated again instead? Now get back rest and I want to go back to the room.
"
"Okay mom."
Answer me.
Suddenly I remembered by
two middle-aged people who are in the courtyard of the house, on the outside
gate of the house in the middle of the road. Suddenly I thought bad, when the
middle-aged women and men they are my mother and father. They fight and injure
each other. But why? Why she lie to me? When the truth thing happened.
I really couldn’t rest
properly. Thought
about it and constantly approached mind. I decided to go down and pick up some snacks
to the kitchen.
I heard a groan very sad
when I pass my parents room. The
cries that sounded small, but full of flavor the load in every sob.
I want to know what
really happened to mom. Why
my mother to moan like that. I
was very concerned with this condition. But once more, my fear paralyze that my
bones to move into my parents room.
I was afraid my impudence
in the affairs of a great result all been complicated. I'm afraid, if the bitter reality that never
crossed my mind occurred to my mom.
How might I be able to
see them that I love have to feel the pain. Although my mom often did not have time for
me and wasted my growth period. Mom
had to work from morning, 07: 00 pm to 19: 00 pm, and my mom often should
reduce the time at home and work more until late at night.
While my daddy worked as
a draper who only using old motor cycle to his vehicle. No need considerable time to works, at least
I have the attention and affection more can I get from the dad.
My belief was strong and
so strong.. Whatever
will be do, it is ok. Despite
the bitterness that comes, I will face. Bitterness which actually does not occur
directly in front of the eyes, harmony in the family during this show turns
apparent, I was ready even though it is true if the mother is a middle-aged
woman who I saw in the courtyard of the house that afternoon.
I knocked on the door of
the room. The
first knock, the second knock, third knock.. I did not get results.
Until the 4th knock
almost landed on the milky white door, door was opened so slowly. A middle-aged man, with a sharp nose, high
posture said "good night". The words it is not unusual to hear from
the lips of my daddy. But I did ignore the problem.
I focused on the problems
that I want to know what the answer, I asked my daddy where is my mom exist. I wanted to meet my mom that’s time.
A drop of sweat fell on
the right eyelid father. My suspicions
deepened, my fears increased sharply. Anxiety dominated the soul. Without
waiting for an answer from the father, my little body into the mother's room. I
saw the mother lying in a room with two piles of white pillows withy mother's
head. A groan was heard again, moaning mother complained of pain. While the
father's face soaked in sweat concerns. I looked at the father's eyes - in and
suspicion focused on a pair of eyes that worried.
"Mom, what is going
on? What happened to you?
"I muttered and then cry.
"I am ok, only
toothache" her murmured.
I believe when it was,
and I returned to the room quietly without any anxiety or concerns that lie
blanketed miscellaneous face my parents.
A few days later. By which time it was a very sunny day
earlier, but I don’t know why the storm seemed to come without permission and
in law.
Dark clouds envelop our
housing, shortly after it rains the region to be the only way out of housing.
The sky was dark and so
dark, melodious wind, run and run fast and so tight. But we decided to keep going and carry out
the obligations that were on our shoulders.
First, the father
hastened to take the mother to go work with our milk chocolate colored car. During our trip looked like a very
harmonious family. In
because of the heavy rain and waking up too late, we did not have time for
breakfast. But
my mom took the breakfast in boxes for us. Mother bribed the food into my mouth and
also daddy. I
could not believe it when the mom and dad are a person who yesterday I saw.
Time passed in its own
way. Now have disappeared from
Monday morning cold. Pick
up the rest of the afternoon to another smile, and that means it's time to come
home from to the school. Today the weather was not become a good friends as my
wish. Rain, it is my beautiful
rain still like to accompany us. I looked at with a view straight ahead,
right and left with eyes wide open exit, want to make sure the conditions in
which my daddy will pick up or not.
The sound of car’s engine
heard, the sound of the horn. The voices
that long ago I was waiting for, finally arrived. "Daddyyy………..” called me cheerfully,
waving a hand. From
the opposite direction, he waved his toward me. I ran towards the car with rain heads
collided my body.
Arriving at yard of home,
father felt a lump in his heart. How it is possible that he locked the gate
this morning, and now could be open by itself. Without the slightest damage that he could
found. The rain still fell
heavy, wet the plants that did not have any shade. Likewise with the daddy, staring at the gate
suspicious.
We entered into the house
with caution. Full
foot with beats. Once
more, dad found suspicion, which the door was not locked. Daddy holding my hand tightly, maybe he was
afraid something bad will replace us suddenly.
There was no iota of
damage that can be found in the living room, all appliances and valuables were
in place. Thieves? Where the thief who took this no single
valuables. The
positive thinking when my dad, he assured himself if he was the one already
remiss not lock the door and fence. He ordered me to go back to the room and
hasten replace school uniforms.
I was up the stairs and
into the house. But
before I put school bag on the table pink learn it, I heard a scream out of my
dad who was angry. I
trembled at the sound of it, I was afraid something bad has happened to him. I decided to leave the room and hasten my
parents went to the room where the origin of the sound comes.
And I have to watch it
shall not act that I witnessed. I
did not deserve to force me to faced with domestic problems like this which
very complicated. I
really do not understand this, God!
I saw a previous romantic
father, a father who was very gentle and affectionate, now turned into such a
wild who want to eat their prey.
His eyes were flushed,
the veins of the neck and his hands seemed to want to get out. As he was about to collect all power and
ready to hit the enemies.
There I witnessed all
events be exact. Household
rift that had been in buried, on hold and hide from me. Maybe now my parents did not have the
strength anymore to hide it from my bitter reality.
I saw a mother who I
loved lying on a basket with another man. By and only use the mini clothe, they were
at the same bed. Cover
half their body with plain white blanket as satisfying moment has touchable.
Actually, I still did not
understand what that has to do with the man's mother at a time when it was. But what I feel was, I did not like another
man approached the mother unless the father.
There I also saw a very
frightened expression daddy to mom who was angry. He was like a crazy one, he could not control
his emotions again. He
beat the young man with so rough. Bruises were visible on his face. Blood coming out of the nose and temples
that man makes me very traumatized.
Mother came to me with
sobs of regret. But
if the dad who has been possessed by the devil, he dragged the mother and the
man out of the room. I
screamed and cried uncontrollably. Father kneeling on the knee, could hardly be
a comparable price for the sin of mom.
Father scolded exhausted
mom, he really couldn’t afford to condone mom. Tired face was enough to explain that he
wanted to divorce my mom and chose to secede from it.
Mother throws a thousand
apologies and explained the truth, what the reasons that forced her to betray
their wedding. But
as sculpture, the father did not want to listen to mom. And I am, a 16 year old girl must be willing
to be the victim, the most disadvantaged people in this matter. I will lose affection. My dream would soon turn into dust grains
not valuable. Throughout my life, will be haunted by the longing that could not
be met.
My night was never really completely
whole again. Even now, I
can never hear the voice of the ordinary owl hovering in the sky yard. It looks like
the moon peering me and learn to guess the contents of my heart. Could it was
similar to the stars there, which has a thousand luster goodness?
Problems of this life I
guess to be thick every day. Like
the natural or unnatural things instantly. I poisoned the problems that really did not
want me to go through. Mom,
Well .. I still want to be happy ... life and stay with frame love happy
family.
I became an adult because
of the problems that inevitably adult should I swallow. I faced my parents divorced. The most terrible day in my life. I, had contributed the least to prevent. Although I was the worst victims of this
problem. And time, still allow
destiny to hit me involved in it. Time, consuming my sadness every night in
every dark corner with the scream out.
Mom, well ..
I was alone, I was
lonely. By looking at your eyes,
dad! My heart ached for the
presence of the mother. Mom,
with a gentle touch of your hand, I still felt the greatest father figure to
me.
That day, the gripping it
came over me. I
really hate by that time. January
18, this is the date that makes my soul feel dead. Today divorce was already determined in the
courts now. Today I did not want to go to school or go to court.
No, I could not.
I locked myself in the
room all day. Repeatedly
father knocked on the door of my room but I responded with a silent. I did not know and did not want to know,
whatever happened, really I did not care.
Second by second, minute
changed minutes. Now
I got up from my bed filled with cherry blossom motif. I stepped on my foot him on the cold floor. Didn’t know, as sudden cold weather or was
due to the effect of depriving my soul. No, I do not know.
I got up from the bed, to
the bedroom window. I
opened the bamboo curtain, slowly and very gently. I was busy with my right hand were shaking
weak. I was like 60 years old
when his was.
I learned one after the bamboo
curtain. Mix my soul at the time
that I wished to bring peace. Achieved
my sunshine on every blemish understated. I was in a drunken evening at that time.
Viewing the ordinary
courts of the house that I was enjoys. I enjoyed the twilight excessive, I was in
love between noisy of love in world.
I paused for an instant,
pour a little phrase on a piece of paper hearts pure. I write posts that bring me in weakness.
"Mom, Dad I love you
why you would do this to me? In
the end I do not want to choose between you or him. Can we go back as it used to anymore? Being a role model neighbor, a family filled
with sweet spices spoiled. "
No, for what I pour my
feelings through words. When
it was in fact just tear it never means in their eyes. I was tired of it. I was young. I have to happy. It should! It must to!
The corner of my room
exhausted, applied my anger could not be past. I was happy in every destruction and
damaged.
The window torn fabric,
bamboo blinds weak depending on the buffer half weak. The books scattered separate
content and skin. Pillows,
bolsters without cotton in it. As the symbols of a chaotic thinking.
Looked, I was proud of
that damage. However
I don’t know why pride that made me a little as if realized, that madness to
live had taken possession of my soul.
I globed at the twilight
hue. I open my bedroom window
and gazed at dusk which brings me peace. I froze and the concentration on each beam
of light that still want to stop and pervasive in my soul.
Hey, is it adored my
tears? It missed me. And
finally it made me roomy. I
returned back to normal when begging made me as I was and I feel my soul back to
life. Without doubt, think
about what is wrong and what is right. Messed up my soul back. Confused which option will be my journey
afterwards.
I peep again, at the
court house the light was fading. Which was my evening had gone, bored. He left me alone to dissolve the aesthetic
life - gray.
I saw fresh jasmine
flowers there. Nonetheless
the smell fragrant, beautiful in appearance that nobody can emulate by
anything. Gave
me know, his life would not be worth it
even though I know he will grow and evolve then withered, I fell and
consumed by dusk then finished my memoirs.
The old car engine sound
familiar sound in my ears. It
sounds dad's car that had entered the courtyard of the house. I know, I've been aware of the departure of
the evening twilight and presence. However, as a haunted house, I let the house
lights are lit no one else.
Including me are
indifferent enjoy misery liver in a square room. I slammed my body on a soft mattress it
again, regardless of how the survival of households that will do by this
hypocritical family. Save
trouble and keep it, suddenly go out without letting me hear marks.
There was a knock on the
door of my room, once, twice, three times, up repeatedly. Oh, please help my former guardian angels,
did not bother me with my misery. I was still not satisfied with enjoying the
poorness that protect your heart.
"Honey, oh honey ..
Open the door ... we want to talk" father's voice heard. And then I was answered
"Already, go well. I have not been disturbed. For what you spoke to Nur? There's nothing to talk well. Do not you decide this way without the
consent Nur? So
let enjoy a gift that you gave to me. "I replied.
Audible sigh a long,
wobbly motion and old sound discordant. I actually could not hear and witness this
event. But what can we do ?. My disappointment insistent - repeatedly in
the things l I say so confused.
Late evening come. I don’t know what I'd been doing I did not
know. Without sipping a drink I
did not feel thirsty. Without
swallowing any grain of rice I feel full.
I enjoyed the evening
sipping in my soul. With
the wind blows the drudge, I accept it. I enjoy the sound of a voice for the sake of
what is caught by my ear. Crickets,
murmur owl, the sounds dogs, all I enjoy with moonlight that penetrates the
glass windows room.
The next day. I woke up at dawn eyes filled with hope. I hope this grief will soon be over. Will end.
I decided not to go to
school. Because of my concern
that so unnatural that sometimes my brain poison. I wasafraid all of them, laughing at me. Because they have family status "broken
home".
No, I do not want that to
happen to me. Never
will be!
I decided to go into the
kitchen and obtain some food. Because
the stomach has been empty since 2 days ago.
I saw a mother who was
sitting in the kitchen daydreaming. My heart wants him, but the selfishness of
my soul as if - if the freeze every joint - my foot joints. I paused in the corridor.
Then shortly afterwards,
the tender look like killing me. And I was like an enemy, trying to deal with
the problems on a piece of cloth that grim kasha.
He saw me glued there. I have no power to disappear instantaneously
or simply turned away forced to swallow.
He called my name, his
eyes seemed to tear weak who want out of which he was unable to take it
anymore. He came to me, my fingers
grasp, pull my body, and hugged me tightly into his arms.
I have no power, to feel
a deep sadness in his heart when his grief it. She smiled at me, and plate of fried rice
with egg on top of it as my favorite. She brought me to the table and made my
white milk with added sugar and a half spoon.
I was still looking into
her eyes were swollen and faint. Tears still slowly dripping on her cheeks. She looked at me with a smile his most. Oh, mom .. why did you have the long mind to
let it all happen.
No one Knew
Look no wind this dress. Sneak in the eye. Without shame, without reluctance, without
the things corroborating myself capable. What? What you want and he wants to do? Night - do not make the silent night he was
afraid to go by. Night
- a night that gripped has become a best friend at the time.
I was.
Discuss on the liver and
logic. At the corner - the city
that seemed to accept me gracefully.
There. At the corner conflicts extraordinary great. A conflict that let the tears leads to moist
soil surfaces.
Pass through the sense of sight that sorrow and suffering, past the smooth
cheeks slap pain by destiny.
Oh why is this?
Previously, now turned
into an iron pan. Affection
which is now shattered into hate. Who? Where? Where?
Are willing and able to
give me affection whole again. Equally,
as before. As
usual, when the separation was slapped my destiny.
Time has passed lighter
and lighter. I
was preoccupied with the thought of an underlying logic, and I'm keeping the
hearts of sorrow and doubt in determining the choice of life.
I was,
Still in nirvana blues. . I still beta on the life of my sadness
deepens.
As well, waiting
affection came and went. Pick
happily sink the somber. I'm
happy on a piece of soft bread. Disgusting
but my magic is able to be like a piece of fried chicken wings.
Done fun empty soul. I stand by returning home. There I saw the mother had fallen asleep on
the couches. What? Who? The hell in the future.
I? Maybe if I was? But for what?
Did not he already opted
for this path?
"Mom" called
me. "Why did you break
here? Go into and rest! "I
command softly. Suddenly , she fall down of tears and hugged me very
tightly. She still hugged me. Without room, a no space.
She explained to me the
reason why she did it all. She
was hurt and the sacred vows of marriage.
The basis of all the
things that have happened, poorer families are economic problems. A root cause that I never thought before. I guess it runs in the family standard of
comfort. But such was not seen on
the birth.
Mother said to me, the
beginning of all her early work was voluntary. Until she was decided to get permission from
the father. Mom
was well aware of her duty as a wife and as a mother quite touching the soul. Without concern for the perfect little hurt
my pride as a child ever born. Therefore,
mom decided not to work anymore.
But fate would, mom got a
position that was so safe and comfortable in her work. So that makes her confused and would not
stop to work. A
difficult positions she can get. A position that she can result from hard
work. A position which was at
the root of all the problems this household.
My mom’s income was much
greater than my daddy's income. While
daddy was never enough income to fulfill the necessary of the house. So that my mom was experiencing labor
utilization and income that were not comparable with an obligation.
My mom wants my daddy get
much bigger income than her. So
the income that she had just become her own. But not so with destiny.
Besides, mom told me. That her love has also been divided by a
young man who faced innocent. In
the beginning, mother sorry for him. So the mother as one who had authority in
the field of work gave him a decent job and in accordance with the latest
education he has.
Mother admitted that she
was guilty. Intentionally
or unintentionally, meet and talk every day. Mom has caught the young man. My mother confided in when she fell in love. And her love to my daddy was reduced and
faded.
She also told me, the
beginning of which he semangkin closer and closer to him. The young man approached the mama and always
wanted to get a chance to talk together.
Mom admitted, acknowledge
her feelings, that it will be unnatural relationship it. Until that day, mom got sick. So she decided to go home. But as the mother's lover, the young man was
clean hard to deliver my mom to go back. Arriving home they couldn’t control
themselves anymore. Devils
possessed themselves who would dirty crazy plan. So it was into the end of the relationship
between mom and dad.
Mom, I never care about what and how
the reason that you and dad to split. Don’t
you realized? You did it and
make me in my sadness, tearing- apart of my beautiful dream ever cluster. I have no
power when at last my love can’t be perfect. Because of
this separation really make me so sad, reducing the level of the spirit of life
that I want to live in the future.
Parting was indeed
poisoned my mind. Moreover,
the disgusting reason why the divorce took place. As a child I had to be willing to be a
victim, without consciously or unconsciously they have been playing my destiny.
I really can’t stand
anymore. I really want to get out
of this zone. I
did not want to accept myself a victim. Until now, I choose to do everything in
accordance with the desires of the heart. I really did not care. It left or right lane. I did not care, even though I lost.
I tell it to a close
friend of my man. A
friend who was so familiar and so I believe. Then he invited me to go to something where. Which he promised to liberate me from the
misery of this life. So
I'm going to be a new person again.
I really blind to it. I accept the invitation without a clear
mind. Until that night time
comes. I slipped through the
back door. With
flower small red flower of blood dress and carrying a shiny black shoes of
wedges. I managed to leave the
house without the permission and excuse of my mom.
At that time the clock
showed at 21: 05 pm. There's
not a doubt liver. I
was lightly to move.
Hendi has been waiting
for me with the motor cycle. He
smiled and complimented me the most beautiful girl and brave at that time. The night too late, long - Relief
increasingly slurping sound of a dog's ear. And the cold air as if stabbed bone.
Hendi gave me his leather
jacket.
"Wear it, you need
it more than me, really I do not want you sick, wear it!” said him to me.
A concern that couldn’t be met up again with
perfect at home. Because
my dad was no longer able to live with my mom. He returned to his home and his own
obsolete.
The sound of a motorcycle
engine has snuck in the night. I
sat in the back with a little awkward and accompanied by heartbeat.
Place that will be our
goal was finally arrived. I
see a lot of light colors that were scattered in the building. All women who go out and get into the
building wearing a mini dress and sexy dress. And also walking with a man
beside them, even they are young or old.
Hendi took me to get into
the building. It
was my intention when it shattered. Many fear that arrived in my soul. But what can we do, I could not ask him to
deliver me home again.
I entered the building
with feelings of anxiety. If
danger would bring me to go with him. He grasping fingers of my left hand with a
soft and warm. He
chalked his face and smiled sweetly at me. I was replying to squeeze his fingers and
threw him my sweetest smile.
We walked with the same
tone. Upon arrival in the sea
of people I see as being happy. Smiling,
laughing, singing, swaying their way - each. Without load, without problems.
Hendi invited me to sit
on a couch and waiting for his moment to be back from the toilet.
I opened the jacket
belonged to him, and put his jacket the left side of me. I looked around, everyone was laughing,
everyone was smiling, everyone was happy.
I like possessed by the
ghost of the building. That
DJ played music, I try shaking bit like the rest of my body. Suddenly, he came and teased me at that
time. He laughed at my
movements were stiff and not in accordance with the beat of the music.
He summoned a waiter and
ordered two servings of food and beverages. While we were waiting for the food to come,
I see the diverse human behavior in the building.
We saw a man who was
making kissing out with men too. We stared at each other and simultaneously
express our detestation.
"Ih, hueeek .."
and we were laughing together "hahahahaha ............."
The food that we deliver
had present. And
that means it's time to start enjoying the food. Many conversations that occur there. I told my whole family problems to him. With tears, I got out all my resentment
against him. He
just smiled lightly and gave me a handkerchief which he took from his pocket.
He looked at me
differently, as if full of meaning all happen. I was enjoying the sadness of life, as if
caught would desire that makes me blind. He came at me with a smile that makes me
vulnerable to move and get away.
The movement was too
closed, closed and too closed. Sigh
of different owners. My
heart rate as fragile there was no forgiveness, scattered in seconds and
returned intact on the other seconds.
Red lips, fragrant aroma
of cigarettes it touched my lips with blushing pink lipstick. As if the sadness went away, yes! I was able to forget about it even though it
was short lived. Not
just once kissed it happened, but we did it repeatedly. Thin mustache that touched my cheek, a
gentle caress on my long hair, and a hug with love were able to warm the cold
nights.
I was happy that night, I
don’t know why!
What was the thing makes me feel like it. Didn’t know, without any tie I feel if he
was belongs to me since that night.
All meals and drinks are
finished we eat both. And
now time show at 03:48 am. I
really did not want to go home, I did not want to go back home again.
I decided to remain with
him wherever he wanted to go. But
he refused me because it was not possible for him to bring me to his home at
this late hour. And
in the end he invited me to stay at a nearby inn.
A medium-sized room has
also been ordered for me. He
drove me to get into the hotel room. And I also like a lot of thanks to him,
because he has given little blemish, a breath of fresh air and enjoy the
freedom to live the way I want.
However, one more it
happens again. I
was as blind and weak, always follow the music passion that eventually brought
me to a new problem. Without
a word, without preliminary and only meaningful gaze capable of explaining
their desires, to be a reflection of the heart shadow.
He pulled my neck, and
too closed on his shoulder. He
put his two hands on my waist. Without
anger, without regret I followed and enjoy every movement that he showed it to
me.
Warm kiss it happen
again. As if that had withered
flowers bloom and blushing I was back again. Unfortunately, my confidence towards
compassion and care that he gave to me to be willing forgotten and gone.
He asked for more than a
kiss. A kiss that I thought it
was already past my limits as a good woman, he wants to enjoy the other part of
my body.
In this case I turn it down
and release the arms that he Dab on my night. I rejected him too hard not to bypass the
restrictions on that night. But
if - would he like a lion that is very hungry, he did not listen to all my
words and my refusal will request his despicable.
He ran towards the door
of the hotel and conference lock - meeting all the reproach that allows me to
get away from her. I
really disappointed in him, besides my parents who brought a myriad of injuries
in my life, he was impersonating a good friend also took the role of the same
thing, destroy my life more deeply.
He laughed with pride
because he has managed to bring me into his power that night. Helpless I could do was cry and scream for
help. Unfortunately, there was
no one who heard my voice though so I never tired to try to shout repeatedly.
And in the end he looked
me cynical and his face filled with disgust with all the behavior that I do. In taking a blanket and break end for the
sake of the edges of my mouth shut with a piece of cloth, so I could not scream
out again. Not
only there, he also tied my hands on the edge of the bed.
He made me like a
mental patient who ask for freedom and have to provide resistance for many
people. He also removed all the
clothes that I wear. I
like the statue of the helpless and do not have the force of what else.
My body burned up the
night wind. I'll
fire burned affair. I
felt very dirty and once a girl who abject and disgusting. I lost all pride as a pure girl. I was dirty and miserable woman.
My happiness really go
away from my life. No
more peaceful evening that will be my friend. Just anxious, anxiety-ridden and will color
the night and day. There
would be no one who knows the hearts of me, understand my feelings, including
him. A friend and idol of the
heart that has been tearing my virginity, one - the only reason I became still
proud to be a woman and a good daughter.
"I'm sorry Nur, I'm
really not able to control my emotions. I err on everything that has happened this
evening. All of these errors, I'm
really sorry. "He said with a deep voice. But there was not a single word that comes
out of my mouth. Just
sobbing that became void filler.
He untied in both my
hands and in my mouth. He
expects a word that came out of my mouth, but I did not want to deign to
forgive such a fatal error.
"Come talk to me
Nur. Believe me I really err
on everything that has happened this. But believe me, I really - love you dear, I
can confirm this, if this is not an my wrongness. "He said.
He stroked my face and
wiped my tears. And
again, he hugged me tight body and he was crying. I was surprised at this, and started to
think if he really sincere love me.
Three days later after
that night, no news or anything about him.. And now I was sure if he was nothing more
than a man bastards who just want to take advantage and happiness course of a
woman.
I could not help myself
to remain silent. I
tried to contact him through via text messages themselves. I was invited to meet and discuss our
relationship. And
finally he was replying to a message that I sent earlier.
He wanted me to make that
mistake again and it was a requirement to meet with him. At that moment I really realized that he is
a man who has no morals and mind. I also balked at going to his request.
Now I feel alone. No friends, no relatives and no role of
parents who normally be there for me when I was hurt.
I decided to leave the
house, looking for a bit of fresh air might be a little tears down load my
life. I walked to the super
market to buy a bar of chocolate, for my soul hanger.
But there, my
disappointment in mom so deep. I
saw her that walk with her man's affair. Although mom had split with dad but still I
couldn’t receive if mom in romance or a love with another man.
I went to her, at that
moment I was not able to control my emotions. I bleak bomb ready to blow up the world, I
do not care if the position he is as my mother and my existence at that time in
public. I was angry
uncontrollably - happens to the mother and the man. I cursed and swore at him. And without my guess my mother shouted and
slapped hard on my right cheek in front of the crowd.
I was running out of
words on the there. I
looked surprised and full of disappointment towards the mother. And a look of hatred and revenge on the man. I decided to go away from that place. And this is the day where I really hate a
mother who I think she will always love me, defend me and become the closest
person in my life forever.
I went and ran out of the
place, while mom called my name repeatedly and apologized for the deeds she had
done. However, wind will be
past, I ignored it for granted. Because I hate too deeply about this mortal
life.
I ran back home with
heavy fall down the tears on the cheeks. I wrap all my clothes into two bags
belonging to me. Later
that day, I decided to get out and move home dad narrower and smaller. But when in the fence, mom and the man was blocking my damned. My mom told me hard to go home father.
He did not want to if I
go from her house. But
I did not care about all asked. I
was like a kid who never had a mother to make me into a mild step to oppose his
will.
I walked out with a full
conflict and strife. I
feel very sad to have to make her cry and beg. But this hate against men that are right
next to burning and raging my soul.
The house is sold, barren,
half rock. Weeds
that extends clearly visible on the right side of the court and left the house. Dried leaves come plastering atmosphere. As long old house uninhabited make myself
horrified to stay logged into.
I knocked on the door of
the porous old. "dad…
daddy... well ... this is Nur!"
I called him over and
over. But there was no response
at all. I await the seconds but
remains the same, there was no a sign that assured me if the father was in. Or maybe dad ... maybe dad was injured in? Or something bad has happened? Oh god, this is what I thought at the time. I decided to keep waiting until my father
invited the incoming and share the story of the heart.
Twilight pick my guilty.
Until twilight culminate in a quiet corner of vacillating dad did not come. I fell asleep between moderate wind rumble. Among the light evening walks.
And suddenly,
"honey, hon, let's wake. Go
out into. Nur,
let's get up, girl. "
I was awakened shortly. I see vague dull father's face. His clothes were stained yellow to browned. Silver-colored hair adds a sad heart.
"Dad ..."
Called me peace. I
was perfumed body hugging father sun. Don’t know, where dad all day, my heart
filled asked the big question mark. Could it be that he had come home from a
trip away to find a bite of rice? or there is a hard job that became the
inhibitors to come home? I
don’t know, ah, I do not want to mutter crisp. I just want to enjoy the warm embrace of the
father.
"It's not like you
here, honey?, let's, .. let's go first to" My father said to me with his
gentle voice. I
was inside the house are 5 x orders of magnitude smaller than the mother's
home. But it will not be a
problem for me, I just want to find serenity and happiness in life through the
attention of people who I care about.
"What is it, honey? Why are you crying?” daddy said to me.
"Mom ... well, the
mother was still in touch with him. I did not like that relationship. I hate those who have destroyed our
happiness "answered my sob.
"Hush ... you should
not talk like that, son. After
all she was your mother. People
who have given birth to you into this world. Your Heaven is on his feet. "Said
daddy.
"Mom? Heaven? Heaven like what was on her feet well? She was one of the people who brought us the
hell home. Even
after she promised not to do it again, but now she broke the promise she had
made her own! Is
that the father described as a good mother well? "I said, weeping.
"Come on honey
already. Let's go to the kitchen
and cook something for us to eat tonight. Let's forget about the problems that make us
never-ending grief is "the father carrying his bag to the kitchen.
"Dad, what is that? What is you brought dad? "I said,
pointing to the small bag.
"In this small bag
there is a pack of crackers and rice that we will cook hon. Come help dad make it. " Daddy replied
wistfully.
"Rice? Crackers? Cooking? Does the father have not eaten well with
this morning? "I asked, surprised.
"Yes, honey,"
he replied.
"Where did this all
day father well? Where
all merchandise clothing dad? "I asked.
"I have not traded
clothes anymore, son. Dad
ran out of capital and very difficult to bring the things merchandise father
home dad subscriptions without a vehicle. Now the father worked as porters in the
market son. Yes
.. no significant lawful honey. "Said the father explained to me.
I was very sad to see the
state of the current daddy. His
dull skin, fragrant body, shape bags under his eyes, unkempt hair and tattered
clothes add this heartache.
To the next day, daddy
went to the market as usual. I
decided to stay at home and clean the house to be more neat and wait. However suddenly the sound of mobile phone
rang from the living room. I
was walking towards the living room and picked up my mobile phone. It turns out that the origin of the sound of
the call Hendi. I
did not want to answer his call. But he still called me repeatedly up to 36
calls.
I could not even lift his
vocation that makes me hot and sick ear.
"Yes, there is much
less?" I said sarcastically.
"What? Tonight? Nooo .. I do not want to see you anymore
"
"What? Oh ,,, so you threatening me? "
"Evidence? Pictures? Social media? "
"Shit you .... What the hell are you going man!!!! "
I was quickly shut his
phone. I was so sorry for having
known anyone like him. He
has made me afraid, he has threatened me will know to everyone, including my
parents and the school that I have done the despicable acts with him if I do
not want to see him tonight.
I really feel true
justice turn away from me. I
just want to be happy with people who loving me. In addition to father I do not think nobody
was really affectionate and sincere with me. They just want to get the benefit only of
myself.
Evening came, the father
had not returned home. I
was alone, feeling mood - be tempered with anxiety - so this. And it turns out that my guilty touchable
already. Hendi came to see me with
a different smile. He
asked me to come to him if he's not going to wait for the return of the father,
and told his version of events on the night he was with the support of pictures
were not polite.
I really helpless this
time, with less words that vibrates I accepted his invitation. And in the end I left the house without the
permission of the father even though I knew he would be furious after this. But I have used fecklessness perfect by his
cunning mind.
He took me to a place I
did not know very well where it is located. Passing through the dark streets, alleys - a
narrow alley and hollow, rundown neighborhood atmosphere, and the full gaze -
sinister suffocating - choke my veins.
He took me to a room that
is moist, quiet and dark. I'm
really scared to be there, as if I pick the death on the spot.
But there, in the alley
in the room I heard a voice of man and some woman and keeping boisterous. Their voices sounded like they were enjoying the party with loud disco
music.
I freeze my feet, I do
not want to go too far to where they were. I did not want to join them which will make
myself be destroyed again. However
he forced me to keep up to desire him.
Until the time of his
arrival, I was standing right in front of his friends. I find women who dress sexy. The man with booze, poker and some
cigarettes.
"Hey ... sweet ..
what is your name?. Oughh,
Hen! This new prey? "Said
one of his friend while pinch my chin.
"she is my new
girlfriend , hettss do not dare you touch her! Shee only belongs to me alone. Hahahahha ... .. "said Hendi, laughing
off.
I'm really fed up and
disgusted with this situation. But
how else I'm really not a bona fide bad-stranded power to them let alone
against them. I
just shut up and be quiet. Like
a frog I could only grunt in the liver only.
"C'mon honey .. ...
let's enjoy this evening join with my friends" Hendi command me laughing
merrily.
"No, I do not want
to. I'm going home. Dad must have come home. Dad must have been anxiously waiting for my
return. Come on, come on Take me
home! "I replied with a low voice.
Simultaneously, he and
his friends laugh at me with satisfaction.
"Home? Dad? Hahahaha .... Tonight you belong to me is, I will not be
that easy to escape you. You
must follow my orders! if
not, you know exactly what the result, right?. And of course, your parents will be angry
and your family will fall apart. Hahahhaa ... And do not forget ,,,, and
anyway, I will make you to blocked from the school. You will get a very big shame. Hahaha "said him and laugh out loud.
I do not have any other
choice. Really this time I like a
rhinoceros that in beak nose. Inevitably,
like it or not, I have to follow to his lowly desires. Only tears were able to explain my heart,
but as usual my grief could only swallow alone. Nobody cares about this heart, no one
understood this about freedom and happiness.
Stupid .. yes .. I was
stupid !!
He lit cigarette into my
mouth. I reject it and the
cigarette harshly. But
the action was met with force. He
kept the fire burning on the tip of the cigarette and my reign to suck the
other end of the cigarette.
I suck, then I choked by
the smoke with so great. But
there was no one who was sympathetic to me. Everyone there just laughing at me with
pride.
Not only up there, Hendi
also forced me to drink red wine straight from the bottle. I refused and tried to run away from that
place. But he not let that
happen to me. He
pulled my right ankle and eventually I fell and smashed.
I feel the pain that is
so remarkable. My
body seemed to disintegrate due to hit the floor. Chin and bruised my knee turned blue. But they made me a laughingstock them.
He grabbed my body and
brought me closer to him. He
forced me to drank liquor with the help of friends. They hold to my two hands and pull my hair
to my head lifted up where it is easier for the alcohol in through the mouth
and throat me forcibly.
My head feels so very
heavy and sore. I
really feels nauseous and float - float. In the end, I was awakened myself and woke
up in the sun half-shadow.
I was really surprised
and shocked to see that no dress, he was
sleeping soundly next to me on a mat and a blanket. And when I look at my body, I was also very
surprised because I was not wearing clothes again. Only a thin blanket that covered part of my
body.
I really could not hold
back tears. I
cried brewed, I really regret with all my decisions that ultimately lead me on
a very deep life mistakes.
And not long after he
awakened from sleep. He
stared towards me and kissed my lips.
"Good morning
dear" he told me.
I do not want to reply to
the word - said courteously. I'm
fed up with all this, I cried, I'm angry, I'm hitting, pinching, kicking him so
brutal. I am no longer able to
bear the pain and suffering of life. I really - really be messed up for a while
with sobbing that I can not contain.
Then she hugged me and
kissed my head. I
really do not understand the thought that he had. I was really disappointed with all the
attitude and behavior that frequently change - change. Moreover, this morning, he showed such great
affection towards me.
"Friends - my friend
had returned this morning, and you're very drunk last night. And, I brought you into this room to rest. But ... I'm sorry. I did it again. I just want to reduce the suffering that you
had to give you drink it. no
other purpose. Now
... let me among you home. And
we would go to school together - together. "Obviously.
"You're an asshole! You've broken my life too deep in again. You ... shiiiit... "upset me to him.
I really do not know what
else to do. My
mind has been chaotic and crazy. And finally I decided to go home with the
expectation father had gone to work.
I knocked on the door of
the house, "Dad ,, father in?" knock, knock ...
There
was not any sound I hear in house. I pushed the door and tried to open it.
However suddenly father pulled the door and exit presented to me. I really very
surprised. Moreover Hendi standing next to me.
"Dad,
dad is not going to work?" I asked.
"Where
did you overnight Nur? Why not ask the father permission to go? Why go without
the knowledge of the father? Why until this morning you just go home? Who is
she? Who is this man? Why did you return him? Why do you dress so rundown and
dirty like this? Hair? Why is your hair so messy? What is it boy? you good -
fine right ?? "he asked very confused so much so that I will start from
where I lie this time.
"I fell well, so therefore I so it looks like this. And this Hendi, he is
my friend who helps me"my father replied haltingly - brick.
"Is
it true that boy? if you're not lying with the father? "asked the father
hesitate.
"Yeah
well, I was telling the truth". My responsibility.
"Then
explain to the father! How where your body can smell alcohol like this?
"He asked bluntly.
"Um
... this ... this .... becausee this .. "I replied nervously and confused.
"Yes
Sir, that night I slept with her, we also celebrate and drank the alcohols with
our friends the other" Hendi replied lightly.
I
really did not think he able to tell it to the father. Maybe he was crazy or he
really stupid? With its recognition of this, makes me very aggrieved.
And
it's true. Dad really angry over the words of Hendi. He beat him until his nose
bled. As for me, in encouraging her to fall to the ground. Dad also took all my
clothes and take it out and fling at me.
I
really do not know want to do anymore. I begged and prostrate before the
father. I touched and kissed the feet dad. But he would not bother me in the
slightest. He did not want to listen to my explanation before he decided to
take a stand against me. He pushed me again and again until I fell to the
ground.
Dad
yelled loudly and firmly. He drove me raw - raw. Until all the neighbors,
everyone who was there to run and closer towards us. They looked at me with
various gaze. Cynical, sad, happy, disgusted, all see clearly on the look of
it.
I
stood and stared ruefully father's face and the tears that fell clearly in my
eyes. However, if the father - will blind he did not want the slightest hear my
explanation. He returned expel me but I still retain my right to tell the
actual incident. But my father still ruled to be silent and suddenly he slapped
my cheek with his harsh.
Dad
looked at me with eyes full of regret, and looked at the hand that had he used
to slap me. I could not look at the circumstances, I ran from the father.
Not
the least I want to turn my face to my father. I keep running even if the
father keeps calling my name with his voice shakes. Really I can’t bear to let
my father begged for his regret, but my mind until my legs would not stop and
understand the difficult circumstances.
I
decided to choose my own way with my own choice. I decided to follow my every
desire to obtain happiness. I do not care what step I take, I traveled lane
where I want only happiness and tranquility.
I
decided to follow the desires of him, because he has been a member me a promise
of happiness. Even though I know he is a cunning and evil, but I felt I had no
other choice. In addition to my parents, I was never familiar with siblings or
anyone else, until finally the reason food and clothing into my considerations.
I also dropped out of school and contact with anyone except Hendi.
That
night Hendi repeat his evil mind. He invited me to do it again relationship.
This is already the 3rd time, so I had no reason whatsoever to my chastity.
Likewise
the night - the next night, we had a party of alcohol and methamphetamine in an
empty house near the banana plantation. I also helped Hendi to deliver orders
drugs from airport to officials - high officials or people - the tie.
This
was my new life. I was very happy with the way my life is. Without load there
is only pleasure alone. I can buy whatever I want, clothes, jewelry,
sophisticated mobile phone, I can meet my own needs. I forgot my dad, mother, I
forgot the loneliness, I forgot divorced....
Found
You!
The adult life journey does
not make me afraid of death, sin or find out true happiness. For me my world is
a world filled with peace where I do not think too much for my right.
Until that night, we
partied like usual. Cigarettes, alcohols, methamphetamines, gambling, sex and
other things we used to do, we do well on that night. But that tonight has not
the case as usual. I and others did not have figured. Don’t know, I don’t know
who put rapids in our lives.
But certainly, some
policemen came to our room complete with their guns directed at us. I was very
nervous about this. I also feel very sorry for the way I choose.
Hendi and some his friends
tried to escape from the back of door. But police swiftly know this until the
police did not have any other way and shoot their legs to immobilize them.
Guns shot that seemed able
to break my eardrums. Sound that was so remarkable and it was able to
repeatedly make trauma is still an impression.
There was no single person
among us to escape from the police. They took us to the police station and then
investigate the case. We were caught off guard and had ensured severe
punishment awaits us.
That time when I was in 16
years old and most of the others ware aged 17-20 years. In the end we were
taken to the recovery room of addicted of drugs called rehabilitation. The
period of bleak was reluctant to tell me to anyone. That period are so dark experience, full of
sadness and so embarrassing.
At that time, after a day
of freedom I did not know which way I wanted to go. I sat in the corner of a
cold night without protection from anyone. I was so hungry. I pressed my
stomach tight - closely with the intention of easing my little hunger. But my
stomach did not understand my difficult situation, it was still forced me to
give some food.
I didn’t have any money
that I have to buy some food. I was looking for a meal in anywhere. I'm looking
at the right side. There's a large trash cans made of drum former. I was
looking for food inside. I'm very happy because I found a packet of rice there.
But unfortunately the rice is too little and smelling bad.
Suddenly a young policeman
came up to me. He looked at me with eyes so sad spotlight. He gave me a packet
of bread with flavored chocolate. I looked back at him with the eyes that he
was spotlight and disconnected. Without thinking too long I took the bread and
eat immediately.
The hunger was a little
saved. I also would like to thank him, but the word I wanted to catapult, he
was so good but I don’t know anymore where his existence. I lost track of him
that was so fast I guess. But never mind, I did not want to care about the
mysterious demise.
I returned complaining in
seconds will give a history of my life, where I'm going to spend the night this
time. Don’t know. I do not know.
I traced the long and cold
streets. In the middle of the night I take courage for the repose of the
concerns of suffering that will ensnare me again and again.
I found a piece of damaged
buildings were filled with rubbishes. And I decided to make the room when it's
my place to sleep.
Cold night without a
pedestal became my meal. In the silence, I finally unbearable back shed tears.
Suffering is so upset in my mind so frighten me in the hopes that soon want to
fade.
I was,,
I was now accustomed to
living in loneliness in the middle of a strange crowd. With cover lie cruelty
became my reference to survive. Hard life on the streets of this metropolis has
succeeded in forming a new personal in me.
I was yes I was,
It has been encouraging to
choose the lane that I consider to be the best option. I do not want to go back
again to the house that had once made me happy. I will remember and always
remember every stroke that has been given to me.
The disease is old already
embedded. Times by times, years and chronic. Already, I've decided to really
bury that past time. In I was given the opportunity to feel the happiness in a
family roof. A happiness that was punished me to live in the streets like this.
A life that forced me to go
away from people who I loved in a way that seemed to want to kill me.
Yes, I already accustomed
to live and live on the streets after the events of the transition in the
middle of fall foliage. Now I've turned into a strong adult woman and never
afraid of this mortal life.
I never agitated when the
sun threatened not to illuminate the world again. Dead or alive, it has become
a parallel. Perhaps death is better, because there probably true happiness and
tranquility have been waiting for.
Life is so hard in this
metropolitan city seemed so tiring soul. I only have until junior high school
education, may be proportional to the size of the job as a coolie labor rival
or housekeeper.
Both these professions are
not to be my choice. Salaries are too low and the fatigue is so powerful,
though is not comparable with sweat issued.
I prefer to be a pickpocket
which the power out is not too big
incurred every time effort, but the result is not a little too. Sometimes
millions, hundreds, tens, even once I got Zonk.
My world has long wrestled.
Since my freedom from the creepy beach rehabilitation, 4 years ago. I met a
middle-aged woman, curly hair with a tattoo on her left hand.
She is a good woman. She
gave me a room to live, a guarantee of protection and frees me from thirst and
hunger. For me he is the figure of the angel transformed into a woman who bit
sinister and ferocious. She was a widow who did not have a child of her
marriage ago.
She said that she has
considered me as her own daughter. With a proud heart, I received a bid that
was so sincere. She is a woman who sadistic, tough, strong and diligent pilfer.
She is a mother and a teacher figure pickpocket for me.
I rely on opposite way. Now
I just realized, if the twilight, I've been waiting my care and warm touch from
me.
During the late afternoon,
I asked permission to Madam Neli to go to enjoy the breeze under the sun
fading. I went to a place of my favorites, in a empty field behind the great
shops.
There, I was waiting for my
twilight came finite hug me peace. That time arrived. Yeah, I was waiting for
the time to come to me as closer and get so closer. Twilight I grabbed my soul
to peace touched my soul.
I was struck by disturb of
prejudice living soul on the wrist. I enjoy any warm splash of my twilight. I
was in of it, as if I was in the lap of the mom. Warmth, making me unable to
release any distance of peace. Yes. I enjoy with the beautiful sunset made
happy me, which has successfully passed all the problems well, which has been
successfully picked perfectly happiness.
Night was come pick. The
wind was caressing my body softly. I decided to return home. But on the way I
saw a Mrs. with a very big body, walking in front of me alone. Bring a bag
being strapped to the left.
I think if she was easy
prey. The streets were deserted very supportive of my plan, plus big posture,
may be it will let herself too difficult to catch me.
I also start my actions
that night. I started to walk closer and got closer to her space. With a
relaxed and slowly I'm scratching the bag so that one by one items were out.
Wallet, cell phone, talc,
softex, lipstick and other things got out through the bag that I had a razor
blade. Slowly I bowed my body and took the mobile phone and wallet that I
wanted those.
However, shit ...
Good fortune is not in
favor of me that night. I was caught by a man is well-body. Yes, he is the same
person, when he gave me a packet of chocolate-flavored bread. He grasp my hand
when I was about to take the things. My heart was beating so hard and fast. My
chest was very crowded, as if out of breath. My blood was flow so the hardness.
My lives as like want to fly to leave my body.
He looked at my eyes with
his sharp. I was afraid at that time. I wanted to run. Run of the place as soon
as possible. However, the feet were frozen immediately. My body hardened as
well as sculpture. And in the end I was resigned to the fate that want to bring
me where.
Well-body man was over his
mouth. He pulled my hand to stand up and then patted the Mrs. I suddenly panic
and paled. But apparently he did not do what I think. He gave the Mrs. know if
the perforated bag up so all the goods falling.
Well-body man was
attractive to the rigors of my hands to the side of the road. He asked why I did
it. Reason what brought me to act like that.
With a thousand questions,
I was speechless because of fear and shame. I decided to escape and get away
from him. However, if time did not permit me to go.
He holds me. I also was
unable to answer the question.
"I still want to a
live, to live means to eat, and to obtain food needs money. As for obtaining
money should work, but work in this era very difficult. Work means requiring a
diploma and skills. I do not have a diploma, but I have a master skill ... Yes,
skill to take people's money silent. "I replied while LOL.
He stared into the corner
of my eyes were deep and very deep at all. I stop my long laughter to be
receding. My fear to him come again. And suddenly he took something in his
pocket.
Yes, I'm really scared.
Because I think he's going to take a knife and then plunged the knife into my
stomach. Or maybe he would ask for a ransom in advance to the mom Neli before
he slays me.
But apparently no. I was
wrong. Yes, a big one.
He took an identity card
and then showed the card to me. I release and very surprised. After I read the
card, he was a cop.
No, I really scared that
time. I hate the lack of freedom. I do not want to be caught on the same hole.
Nooo ...
I decided to run away, and
away from it. I ran as fast as possible. But he could easily found me and grabbed my shoulders.
"Don’t , don’t pack. I
beg. Do not catch me again. I've never visited the iron bars and also a place
of rehabilitation. No sir .. pleaseee. I promise, I will not repeat what I had done
it again ". My words for forgiveness, crying and clutching the knee
officer.
"Uh, uh .. You do not
need this kind. Ok .. ok .. I'm not going to bring you to the police
station. I promise. Come on get up, stand ... I'm really shy when people see us
like this." He replied.
I also feel happy and
finally I started to follow what his request and remove my crocodile tears.
"But you do not like
it. All of this requires cooperation. You must be willing to help me. "He
said to me.
"What? You want to
squeeze me? "I asked sarcastically.
"Nooo, no, not at all.
As far as I know, you live in Belawan near 10 path, right? "Asked him
seriously.
"Ye….sss .. how can
you know?" I replied haltingly - brick.
"Yes .. I have long
investigated that area. There are many clashes between the alley by alley,
right? And I ever heard also there is a boss of toggle? "Asked him.
"Yeah .. Sir". I
said, swallowing hard.
"Well, so, to terms
you for free tonight is you have pledged to me that you will no longer be a
pickpocket and also you must help me to seek to them, who the provocateur of
war and who actually toggle." He told me.
"If I do not became a
pickpocket, how can I eat, sir?" I replied.
"You can look for
another job,,, um .. or like this. As long as you cooperate with me, I'll guarantee
you to eat every day. How? "Asked him.
Really, I am very
indecisive that time. I really do not know what I should say anymore. Fear,
anxiety, worry, fused into one. I do not have a choice where they have it. I
could not say no. But what about mom Neli? I really depend on it, and I can’t
separate the pickpocket's world.
"Well, I agree."
I said hesitantly.
Although I said
"Yes" but what I do was the opposite. I've felt comfortable being
here, this my pickpockets world, lived
with my new good mom.
T he next day. Police came
to my house without using a uniform pride. He invited me to do the mission that
we have agreed. Inevitably I also hasten to perform the mission.
We went down to the aisle 10. And I started to do a plan that we have
agreed in advance. I pretended as toggle players who want to put
some numbers on that day. I asked a boy about 18 years old. I asked him, “Where should I play the toggle?”
The teenager was shocked
and saw my face. Maybe
he though, if I am a woman but love toggle too much and gambling enthusiast. Hem .. No….. I do not care what he wanted to think about
me.
The boy was giving me
know. He put his hand up and
fingers straight and slightly turned to the right. And he also said that, “The house of boss a
toggle has 2 level floors and green color wall.”
The young police and I
was a narrow aisle 10 without leaving suspicion. Then we managed to find where the toggle
house. Next to the house that we
find there were small stalls made of bamboo and wire.
There were many people
who drunk and play gambling even though that was morning yet. But as 24 hours of health care center, they
did not have a sense of fatigue.
I was very shocked. When some polices come up. He didn’t give me to know about this plan.
Police swarm that was
doing the plans they have made. They
captured all the people in the small shop without exception.
All of them were become
panic and fear. Many
scorns that came out from their lips. Curse of the traitor. Maybe people who are intent on me. A dozen pairs of eyes to highlight my view. Perhaps they have churned heart if I was a
causal their misadventures. Their
eyes full of revenge.
The task was finally
completed. I
stepped my foot to go home after all the police and people who were in the shop
was caught and taken to the police station. He, the young police was reversed said
"Thanks" while holding my shoulder and immediately walked away.
I feel different. Hospitality which he pinned on my life is
not like the police with a partner who wanted to help his goal in finding the
perpetrators. But
like anyone else, but still he could not say.
Two days since then, when
I wanted to go be pickpocket anymore, suddenly some people carrying machetes, crowbars and wooden beams
coming to our house alley and were heading Neli’s home where my residence as
well. I feel strange, and a
little nervous.
Could it be that they
want to attack our house? But
for what? What
the mistakes have we done to them?
They move closer to our
close and I peering them from the window. Mrs. Neli asked me a question.
"Have you ever made
a mistake against them? Looks
like they want to come to our house!"
I suddenly remembered the
incident two days earlier. Which
I helped police’s work to uncover, Where the located of the toggle and gambling
house from their course. Maybe
they came from the alley 10. "What? allay10? They're indeed people who love to making
battle about the alley by alley". That the words raging in my mind. I could not hide it much longer Mrs. Neli, I
told her everything clearly and concisely.
For the first time, she
was angry with me. All
that was evident in her expressions and words that pierced me as to my
stupidity.
And in the end, a bunch
of people - those sharp armed it up in front of our house and asked us to get
out. We both have also been forced
to face this condition. We
got out of the house and face all the risks.
In this sense, all the
neighbors who are near our house get out too. And at that moment I start my words of the
sweet and gentle.
"What is it Sir,
Mrs.?" I said, smiling fear. And one of them answered with the load vocal
"Do not ask a lot of
you! You are the cause of our
suffering! Husband,
son and others family that we have languished in jail because of your act! Don’t you act like heroes of country! Have
you think that your country is going saver your hunger? "
"Forgive me, sir! I do not deliberately do it. I was forced by one of the police ". I said miserably.
"Ah,,, never mind do
not much reason for you! You
should be responsible for all this. You also have to feel the suffering. So that we can live in peace after this!
"Said a middle-aged man, black-built and has a large tattoo on his neck.
Not require an answer or
asking sorry, they immediately struck me again and my mother. I tried to fight but my inability to fight so
is difficult to avoid pain or injury.
At that time not become a
battle of between us, Mrs. Neli too. However, some of our neighbors also help us
to fight them. Many
bruises that I got too much until
blood came out of my nose.
Suddenly, the shouting of
Mrs. Neli temporary moment of the fight! Everyone shut up and stop to the fight each
other. She was japed on her
shoulder. Se
shouted and then fell. Without
words that she could not remove her death. She breathed his last on the spot.
I was really panic and sad. My body was limp approaching towards her. I was crying and very felt lost. I hugged her, and kissed every face. I was really felt sorry for all that has
been I did.
People watched the
sadness that I have and could not restore her life. A swarm of people who were cursed it's no
laughing matter, feel satisfied to see my suffering. They went to home and put an end to the
fight.
It was the day where I
felt very sad and had to go back to feel profound sadness. Up on until the funeral ceremony, I gave a
prayer as my form's virtual demand to her.
Yes ,, day by day the
loneliness was happen again. The
loneliness approached me again. The
grief and suffering come in, so I could not converge on my body. Every corner in myself would reject it.
Really, I was very fed up with the happiness that never stopped.
A day, a year, a week, a
month does not make me be apart would shadows that horrible event. The guilt was still just followed my steps. I don’t know, when I could walk away from
this annoyed life.
I stole back to fill my
stomach. I've had no direction and
purpose to life. For
me dead or alive is the same. Both of them is
same things just like to be a painful.
On that night, I decided
to go to the port with a single stick of cigarette in my right fingers. I saw the ships which so beautiful with the
varieties of colored lights that can reduce a little sadness. I also enjoyed
the atmosphere of breeze that caressed me with all the friendliness cold sea.
I saw my daddy, mom and
mom's affair on dark sea that being laughed at me. I also saw a very angry Mrs. Neli because my
act, she who must be willing to be a victim. I also saw a young police that laughing as
if I was the most ignorant person who lost in life.
As an evening filled with
madness that so pierced the soul, I imagine as if they are real and true - true
being cursed and laughed at me.
I was coming closer
towards their den. I
wanted to hug Mrs. Neli and said to her if “I'm never intended to make the
victim.” I wanted to run to my daddy and hugged him that I was wrong and wanted
to get back in the arms of my daddy as well as protection. I want to run in the mom’s direction,
mistress, and the young police. I
want to vent all my emotions to them. To the people who have betrayed and the
happiness at the expense of others. They were the source of my misery that has
never known a feeling of satisfaction.
As if I were already true
the literally under the line of consciousness, I ran towards them and
overpowered them one by one. I
really did not realize if at that time I was jumping into the sea. I forget if they were present before me just
as the imagination and nothing more than that.
I can’t swim, I was
crazy, I did not know what else to do besides screaming for help. After that I did not remember anything that
happened to me.
I woke up in a room that
has white sky. I
looked around to the room. A
room that is so awkward that I see before. There was no one single person who was
there. Only me and a respirator that was in
my nose
Suddenly, I heard of the
voice of the door of hospital opened little by little. I looked towards the door with the
tightness. Turns
out he was, the young police who had been a cause of maternal mortality of Mrs.
Neli.
I became rude and brutal. I scolded him and spilled all over my
emotions to him regardless of what his status as a police and I was not think
anymore who I am and he is
I pelted him with
everything things that was near me. Pillows, plates, cups, fruits, and I tried
to approach him and wanted to chock up his neck, but I could not because my
body was so weak.
As if he was not afraid
to bad things would happen to him, he remained close to me and hugged me and
kissed my head .
I really didn’t
understand what he had done to me. But I could felt the hug that he gave to me
was not the usual hug. A
true love that I can feel there.
Day by day my sanitary
was improved. I
was allowed to go home by my treating doctor. Actually I was very curious about who the
person who has helped me from the death. But I did not have the option to ask
him. I pride, I did not want
to engage in any conversation to him. Yes! even though he was the one who account for
my hospital bill.
Because
of You!
In a corner of the big city
but the oppressed will be full of air pollution, I sat daydreaming enjoy a
single star shining though the sky had run out of light.
I don’t know why, suddenly
my tears were dripping and decomposed in my cheek. I looked to the star corner,
staring at her intently. I felt very deep longing for a father who does not
know where its existence now.
I miss mom who lives
fighting for my born into this world. I yearn for the day - it's a happy day.
The night was very quiet.
No, it was not because of people who were around me. This was because the owl
who has lost his singing. He who mope in his silence.
There is a sense that once
pierced of my heart, my soul crushing, really hurt and melancholy. I'm tired of
the way my destiny that requires loneliness. I looked back up at the sky. See
the crescent and star holding hands.
I was smiling, beauty was
little able to transform my face. I realized that loneliness does not mean
death. I realized that life is not only inhabited by humans, but also animals,
plants, and objects - artificial inanimate God Almighty.
God?
O Allah, it’s long time I
forget about you. So long I was blinded by my loneliness. I was able to forget
you, you who have brought livelihood, lives, blessings, happiness and death.
You are the secret behind
the secret. Saving big secret that nobody knows-where its tip. O Allah, forgive
me that I am so disgusting one. Raging in the cradle of this mortal world.
Tears fell insistent - repeatedly. Delivering
night on the most deepest regret. Yes! No one shoulder that could share with
me, but there is always a faithful floor.
Only God, only Him who will
accept me for what it is. Sad, happy even when I was - completely forgot and
returned to remember him, He would be willing to embrace me in affection.
Suddenly, very frightening
roar grabbing - blazing sky was so quiet before. It sings and continued singing
until I made her skin crawl. I got up and wipe my tears on who delivers me in
cons However, I have not even had time to pull over, the sky is so fierce spew
all over her grief. Hem,, it lah. The body was already drenched to the skin as
a result of God's blessing. I enjoyed every drop that falls on my body.
I looked to the sky again,
it turned out the moon and a single star who had already lost in the black
cloud voraciously. Ah, well I think. Maybe it also is one of the ways of God in
determining the fate of His each creation.
Suddenly, I did not feel
the pleasure of the raining that had hit me. A gray umbrella protects me from
the rain.
I was panic and turn round.
It turned out that him, the young officer gave me protect by umbrella and
smiling. I walked straight ahead regardless of kindness.
Step by step I stepped
forward, he grasp my wrist. I turned and looked into her eyes. There are sp
many questions that couldn’t be unsaid. But each of us to be understood each
other.
Umbrella was flying crashed strong winds. We
were both soaking wet. The wind took us on a night of romance that suddenly
formed.
Sharp look up that makes my
eyes heavy and closed. Kiss it happened so warm. I enjoyed every movement so
flow is. Silence, quiet, warm.
The cold night passed so
beautiful. He changed everything becomes more colorful. Didn’t know, the
feeling that it was always my own. Hahahaha funny thing was, I still did not
know what his name was.
I smiled at him among the
pounding rain. "Hi, Mr., my name is Nur .." I said, holding out my
right hand.
"Hahahaha yes, yes,
yes .. I’m Raihan." He smiled at me and stroked my head.
"So ...?" I asked
"So?" Asked him
reply, frowning.
"Ah nothing, forget
it" I said to him with a smile.
Actually I wanted to ask
him, about our relationship now. Shall the same or we were lovers after a warm
kiss between the cold raining.
But never mind, I did not
want to disturb the state of my heart that's being kind. Let it flow
relationship for what it was and let the time that will answer all questions
that covered my head that night.
Days by days was passed so
quickly. As if the earth rotates on its axis it forgot the grief that has
weighed on its forests.
Until in that time, after
he go back to his job. He called me, he wanted to meet that evening after a
week-long we do not see in because of busy. I grabbed the answer
"yes".
I'm very happy, because my
longing will soon be exhausted.
My life with him so
comfortable, I feel we've unidirectional footsteps. I find it to be a better
woman again after she entered into my life. He transformed me. Effect of
softness that he had worked in myself.
Since then, I never know
again the word "drunk, smoking, methamphetamine, pickpocket, and all the negative things I've ever
experienced and had become addictive"
Yeah !! While the word love
has never among us as a binder a definite relationship, but still this heart
chose him remedy to the priesthood in my life.
18: 45 pm, I'm going to
dress up and choose the best clothes me. I was ready to prepare myself as best
as possible. However, this is not as usual. He came late, not as I thought. I
looked at the clock to so many times. The seconds were running hard enough,
while saturation has ruled me.
22: 36 pm, which I later he
was present. Time passed, as if sculpture I ignored. Nothing short message it
sends let alone a call to confirm the appointment will end in which he had
made.
23: 01 pm. "It was,
but where is he? Is he overslept? Or there is a bad thing happen? Therefore, he
did not give the slightest news. "That's how my mind trying to guess.
I was annoyed at a time
when it was. I've dressed up as pretty as possible with a closed clothes as he
likes, but he who makes a promise not kept his promise. I decided to call him,
to seek to know the true facts. But that my phone number was being inactive.
As my mind restless again,
I'm really scared when he experienced something undesirable. I tried replied.
But avail. Same as before. Inactive.
I would give up with all
this. "Tomorrow I should look for to know his existence." I said in
front of the glass.
Even so I still feel
uneasy. I sat in a chair and wait his coming. Not later than the twenty minutes
of my wait, I fell asleep.
Suddenly, I heard a knock
on the door. I woke up, I looked at the clock. 00: 07 p.m. "Who is going
to visit a night like this?" I thought to myself.
"Is it possible it is
Raihan? but for what he comes late? Or could it be a ghost? "My fur rose
and stood as a result of thinking about things that were not exist .
I tried to ignore it, because
it could be a villain or a horde of bad guys !. Oh well I do not want to
bother. I ignored it. However, the door was still on.
"Nur, open Nur"
word by word that comes from the outside.
"Who? Who are you?
"I replied.
"It's me, first, open
Nur, I need your iodine and bandages Nur. Open up, I want to see. I hurt Nur, I
had an accident in the way, so I was too late to come. "He said with a
weak tone and moaning in pain.
I was very surprised to
hear it. "What? Accident? ". I ran towards the door and immediately
opened the door for him. With still gasping for breaths, I was surprised to see
Raihan standing in front of me.
There was not a single sign
that shows that he had had an accident. Neat, clean, fragrance, hair and shiny
shoes and his car was not an iota of damage.
I frowned to him.
"You're lying?" I
asked
"Um, yes," he
replied.
"What for?" I
asked sarcastically
"To test you and to
know your heart, whether you love me too" he replied
"You think this is
funny? I do not like your way, I do not like how you mock me! "I said.
"No, that's not my
intention Nur" he said.
"Raihan, this seems
already very late. You'd better go home, this is not the time for jokes. Rest.
I also want to sleep now. We'll talk tomorrow, ok! "I replied softly.
I also pulled the door shut
and haste. However, he hold the door it from another angle.
"Go you, Go back.
"I tried to hold my encouragement.
"Nur, please. Listen
to me first "he said.
I stopped my encouragement.
"Well what is it?" I said sarcastically.
"Happy Birthday, my
dear" as he pulled out a pair of beautiful ring presented to me.
I was very surprised, how
could I have forgotten my own birthday. Moreover I am so happy, because he was
the first person who gave me a very beautiful ring and prayers are so abundant.
"Will you marry
me?" He said with a half squat.
"What? You're kidding,
right? "I replied, surprised.
"No, Nur, I'm serious.
I think we both had enough age to get married. I could be your protector any
time and you can be a good wife and mother to my children. "He said.
"But, What about your
family? I will not be a burden to them. You are well educated, while I? I also
come from a broken home. So how to your parents and your family can understand
and accept me? "I said, uncertainly.
"If it's a problem,
let that be my affair. Do not worry, we certainly get through this together.
They certainly will love you. Because you've turned into a good woman. I'm sure
they'll love you "he replied
"Butttt ...." My
word
"Take it and wear this
ring if you accept my proposal. If you reject it, take it out and give it to me
back. "Strictly speaking.
I also took the ring. I
doubt, I hesitated. I love him, but how I could, a woman like me can get into a
respectable family like him.
I was still holding the
ring. My heart beats so fast. My chest tightness, difficult to decide which
option was in a hurry.
And finally I was confident
with my path will take. I know this was a tough road, but I was sure I could
accept the consequences of my decision this time.
I ignored my hand forward
and back him of the ring to him.
"What? What is it Nur?
You reject me? You do not love me?” He replied with a sad expression.
"Sorry!" I
replied.
He lowered his head and
said "Well, I will not disturb your life again! I hope you'll be happy
even though it was not with me ".
"Stupid! Hahahahaha
"I said while laughing seeing his expression times.
"Stupid? Why are you
laughing Nur? I really do not understand, "He replied.
"I do not intend to
return to this beautiful ring with a word of apology. I just wanted to ask you
to enter the ring on my ring finger. Will you help me, my dear? "I replied
while smiling happy.
"Really?" He
immediately entered the ring to my sweet fingers so gentle. He immediately
stood up and jumped happy. He hugged me so tight body.
"Thanks a lot my
dear". She said as she hugged me.
"Well I'm going to
talk about it to my parents". He told me.
The night was so beautiful
taste. I've never been loved by a man who has thought up, he serious and love
me for what it is. Really, I feel very happy when his was.
One week after that day. We
prepare wedding supplies. We will be married in a simple way. Only attended by
family and some close friends. I was reminded of my father and mother. How
could I hold my wedding without my parents.
And in the end, Raihan and
I decided to daddy and mother’s houses, to let me know this happy news. First,
we decided to go my mother home. With 2-hour trip we finally arrived at that
place and our purpose.
After we arrived at the in
front of gate of the mom’s house, .I saw some little boys are playing bikes and
some girls are holding Barbie doll and doll hair comb.
"Who are they? Why are
they at my mom’s house? I never knew them before. Whether are they the mom’s
children? But the advance of their age ranged from 7 to 10 years. "My heart
muttered.
Suddenly, a fat-bodied men
out of the main door and sat among the porch.
"Who are they Nur? Why
they are in front of your mother home? "Asked Raihan to me.
"Don’t know, I do not
know too." I replied.
And he and I stood in front
of the gate. I call the middle-aged fat man and ask for what his existence
here.
"Excuse me sir, may
know, where his Madam. Yanti?" I asked
The fat man came up to me
while answering my questions. "Madam. Yanti?"
"Yes sir, Madam. Yanti
which formerly occupied this house." Ask me again.
"Oh,, yes yes .. 4
years ago the owner of this house is named Yanti. But I do not know where else
now she is. "Said him.
I was very surprised to
hear that statement. There was a feeling sad and anxious. I gazed Raihan. I was
unable to linger - long there. I looked at the sky, trying to drown tears to be
dripping.
The next morning, we went
to the house of my daddy’s house. The house was so barren and unkempt. Grass -
weeds, grow and thrive. Leaves of old guava leaf strewn on anywhere. And I
remember the poorer been about 5 years, I never even saw him and come home this.
Indeed, the times I felt
very homesick. As no man's house, I was worried daddy not there. And I tried to
knock the old door. I call my daddy of reproach window but no answer at all. I
peeped from blemish window into the house, but which I found was just the goods
that overwrite thick ash.
I'm not sure if my dad at
home. Goods that could explain the long time ago my daddy was not home. We went
out of the fence, and I ran into Madam Anum’s house, the best neighbor we
advance.
"Excuses me, may I
know where my daddy is??" I asked.
"Your daddy? You do
not know what already happen to your daddy? The answer surprised.
"Happening what?
Daddy? What do you mean Madam? "I asked again.
"Your daddy had died 3
years ago. He suffered of tuberculosis. "Clearly to me.
"What? Are you kidding
right? My daddy did not leave? Tell me where is in fact he is Madam? "I
asked again and tears fall dawn.
"No, I do not
lie" she said.
At that time, it was like
being snatched lightning and flashing over my head. I was very sad. I am a
daughter who disobedience. I can’t hear the last breath of him. After my mom
left my daddy, I was also abandoning him. God, look how bad I am!
Raihan and I decided to go
to my daddy’s grave which isn’t far from daddy’s house. I was laying the
flowers on the daddy’s grave and poured a bottle of water. My heart was very
broken. A middle-aged man who I love in the form of a father, has left me far.
Many prayers are pinned to my father, thousands sorry regret, and pray of the
happiness in the marriage license.
I am 22 years old. And my
wedding was held two weeks after that day. Without the presence of mom, daddy,
or other family, I take this step with “bissmillah.” Running one of the Sunna
Rassull, start a new life opened a new chapter.
I was wearing long white
kebaya mixed gold color that Raihan choice to me. Raihan’s mom very friendly
and kind to me as well as also with his father and other relatives. I feel has
a new family. Really a new happiness.
On the first night, I stood
on the balcony of our room and looked out. I enjoyed the view of the lights - a
beautiful city lights with a cup of hot tea. Suddenly, Raihan approached me. He
said:
"How are you doing
Nur? Come to bed, it was late now. You're going to catch a cold, if stand too
long here. "
"Yes, soon I will
go." I replied, sipping tea.
"Nur," calling
him
"Yes" I replied,
staring eyes.
"There are things that
I wanted to say to you, butt".
"But what?? But why
dear? Say. I will listen to you. "I said softly
"Don’t you remember?
The events of 17 years ago? "He asked, frowning.
"Event? What event?
Really I do not understand, Have we ever meet in the past? "looked into
his eyes.
"Yeah Nur, I am
Raihan. One of your childhood friend. A friend who had nearly drowned with you
and almost died in a fish pond beside the school. Do you remember? "He
explained.
I immediately thought of
the incident and I will grab, "Seriously?"
"Yeah, I'm telling the
truth. I know where you were when you first enter the prison for interrogation
and rehabilitation process. I found your data and during the allegation it is
true. If you're a friend of my childhood and now has become a friend of my
life. "He said, hugging me from behind.
"Why do not you tell
the truth from the beginning?" I replied
"I'm sorry Nur, I
think you would not object to this problem". And he said, pulling off his
arms.
"Hem well, other times
we need to be more opened each other. Never hide something even if it is the
smallest of the things. "I said
softly.
"Nur, there is one
more thing that I wanted to say to you." He said to me.
"Say," I replied
"Actually, no one from
my family knows about your past. I never tell the real situation to them.
"
"What do you mean this
about the rehabilitation, I'm a pickpocket?" I asked, seriously.
"Yes, Nur. I'm sorry.
I just prevent possible harm can come between our relationship. I'm afraid to
lose you. "He replied.
"Really, I'm very
disappointed!" I left him alone even though he had been calling my name
for many times.
I think the storm in a
household that was reasonable. Just how smart we are in married couple in
overcoming any problems that come up in homes. Yes, that night I really mad at
him. I was really disappointed.
Don’t know, maybe I was
disappointed in my own self. Maybe I was disappointed with my own past that is
so bad so my own husband was unable to reveal the truth to his family.
A Cute Angel
A twilight that touched my
finger in the happiness. A life filled
with the puzzles made me understand to my existence. I'm from a family who has
a broken home, depression due to problems of life that I could not see that,
drug addiction, being a pickpocket, survival between the rigors of life on the
streets and in the end I found him that take me back to the way of God.
I love him, marriage, big
family and now he also has given my little family will be coming soon. Yes, I'm
pregnant. I got pregnant after the wedding that walked 2 months. I was so
happy, in the end I got out of the dark valleys of life that
once I went through.
In My age 22 who will be
ahead of this year, I will soon be a young mother. A perfect wife. Oh God,
thank you so much for the grace that has been given you.
I really enjoy for my
pregnancy. I felt my mouth sour, my stomach feels queasy, I became flustered in
smell - sweet too overpowering. Many requirements as requested by the candidate
of my child. Begin of a reasonable request until slightly odd.
Some young mango which
didn’t peeled, Sate Padang in one pack contain of 8 skewers, chicken fried that
chicken must be aged one year. Ah, I do not want to the trouble. I don’t know.
Actually, I did’t want to disturb him and other families. But what can i do, I
can’t stand when not asked.
They were very kind to me,
especially my mother-in-law, I was not allowed for a lot of work in kitchen.
She always love me, like her own child. Raihan is the second child from three
siblings. Every day, after the return to work, his face always be radiant.
Really, I never felt an alien living there.
Awaited day finally
arrived. My stomach ached and heartburn. I groaned in pain. But no one else can
hear my feeble voice. I had difficulty walking, and eventually I stopped at the
corner of the door.
I held tight my stomach.
The taste was very sick it makes me so weak.
"My husband… Mommm,
Sister Diniii" I called in a voice low.
Suddenly, I saw Alif as a nephew who was passing in
front of my room and stopped, dazed look at me.
"Alifff here boy, come
here ... please call your uncle Raihan,
grandmother, or anyone there ok boy ...!" I pleaded pain.
Without answering my fate,
Alif ran leave me. I was no longer able to withstand the pain. My head feels
dizzy, my view as shaded. I couldn’t see an object clearly. Suddenly, my view
black, it is dark.
I woke up from my
unconscious. I looked at the roof is so awkward I guess. I felt uncomfortable
on the oxygen tube inserted into my nose. And my right arm felt numb and heavy
due to the infusion.
My stomach, feels light and
slightly painful. "My Stomach? My Child? Where is she? "asked my
heart and touching my stomach. Suddenly,
Raihan came to the door of hospital with a nurse.
"Nur, you're awake?
Allhamdulilah O’ God "he said as he walked towards me and then stroked my
hair
"Where is our baby?
What has happened? "I asked as I looked into his eyes.
"Our baby is good Nur.
Our baby is in the treatment room. She is born perfect. She is very beautiful
as you ". He replied, kissing my forehead.
"God bless you" I
replied.
"Last night you fainted,
you spend a lot of blood. I was really worried then. Then I quickly brought you
here. And the doctor proposes to undertake a major operation with several
possibilities. I was really anxious that the times. But not anymore now. I'm
really happy. I've managed to be a perfect man. "He said with a smile face
filled with happiness.
Sister was replacing my
infusion. She also checked my situation by doing check of my eyes, my heart
rate and my blood pressure.
"Well, new Mom,
everything is fine, and the survivors have become a young mother" she said
as smiling and leave us alone.
Not long after, our mother,
father, and other family enter into the room. Coming visited me with a happy
face, congratulating words and brought me lots of fruit, bread and milk.
I'm happy. I feel the
loneliness and solitude will never haunt me again.
"Honey, can I go see
my baby?" I asked.
"Of course permissible
Nur, let me right between you," he replied.
I was taken to the room
where my baby is with the help of a wheelchair. I was really happy when it was.
Not only born flawless, she is very pretty and white. Aquiline nose, eyelashes
and thick black hair.
This is the third day I was
in the hospital. I really did not want too long there. I asked to go faster
what the doctor told about one week. But, after the doctor checked my physical
condition, thedoctor allowed me to go home with a note I have to eat lots of
vitamins and fiber.
Day - my day is so very
colorful home. My happiness is true - absolutely perfect. I enjoyed all the
roles that I have, as a daughter in law, a wife and a mother now.
"Honey, what is the
appropriate name for our child?" I asked, holding my baby.
"Erm what about
Princess? Or Syahila? "He replied
Suddenly, mom came and
grabbed our conversation.
"What about Yana
Aldila?" Asked Mom.
"Yana Aldila? Wow, Nur
I guess it's a beautiful name. "Raihan replied to me.
"Yes Honey, I think it
is like that. The name was so beautiful and I love it "I replied with a
smile.
Since that is, the name
Yana Aldila become our choice.
A few days later we made a
simple celebration. There are so many families who come there. Not only
Raihan’s big family, neighbors and Raihan’s friends also come and enjoy the
showed that we made.
"Hi Nur, had long we
don’t see."
I was surprised when I
turned my face to the rear, it is the origin of the sound.
"Do you?" I said.
"Yes Nur, it's
me!" He replied.
"Why are you here? Go
.. Do not you ever try to interfere with my life again! "I said.
"Hahaha, you no need
to panic as it is, Nur. I am here of course to respect and enjoy the show that
you make. However, I was one of the big family from this family. I have long
time ago to know your existence here, exactly when your wedding party. But do
not worry! I will never dismantle your secrets. "He said to me.
"Secrets? Nur, secret
what? "The voice was coming from the side. I was really surprised and
suddenly turned. I shivered, as I know a mother who had asked me too.
"Em secret? There are
no secrets anything mom. "Answer me.
"Do not lie! Say! Tell
me immediately on!! "She said angrily. Yes, this is the first time I saw
her angry to anyone. Perhaps she was very upset and deceived about.
Suddenly, Raihan came to me
and mom. "What is this? We were having a celebration. But why contention
here is? "He asked.
Raihan took us to a room.
There, my mother in low asked the same question again. While I kept silent and
did not know how to start. I looked into the eyes of Raihan full of fear and
anxiety. He replayed blank stare to me. I look towards Hendi, cynical and
satisfied captured clearly by me. I also looked at the mother's eyes as if, it
were a burning fire that flame.
I bowed my head. I'm
confused, what should I do. Raihan spoke. He explained all things related to my
past, about why my parents divorced, I promiscuity ever intervenes, to survive
in the harsh environment that I would not want to be a pickpocket. He explained
everything so quiet to mom. He teld it all like what I've told him.
"That Mom, in fact I
already know the bad of Nur. This is one of fault mom, Nur has told me to tell
to you and others. But I fear that if you couldn’t accept Nur well. But Nur, I
really do not know if the man jerk you told it to me is Hendi. If I know, and
if he is not my brother, I will .. "Raihan has not even finished his speaking,
Hendi interrupting.
"Will? Will what? will
you hit me? Imprison me? Oh .. let’s up! I never afraid! "Hendi
straightforward.
"Stoop!! Stop all
this. Quite! Enough already. And you, Nur! Whatever your reasons. I do not want
to have a daughter in law like you. And you, Raihan, please select your
mother's or your wife! Divorce her, she's not just a pickpocket, alcoholic,
consumer of narcotic, opponents, rebellious child to her parents, but she was
also a woman who hypocrite! She hides everything from me. I already felt her as
my own daughter." Those all are mom’s words that make me pain.
I am very sad to hear this.
I couldn’t do anything.
"Mom I'm sorry, I was
a bad woman. I don’t deserve this happiness. I do not deserve to be in the
middle of this family "I said while fault the tears.
"Yes, you're so right,
so what are you waiting for? Let's get out of here! And don’t you ever take
Yana! "The mother said as he opened the door of the room.
"Thank you very much
ma'am, for all the happiness you've given to me. Honey, I’ll go, keep your
health well. No mom, Yana will come with me. She still needs my care. Excuse
me. "I was leaving the room and wept - bitterly.
I ran toward Yana and lift
off the swing. All the people present there staring at me and asked what was
happening to me. But I clam up and away from the house by carrying Yana.
Oh God, I really do not
know want to go anywhere. I do not have a definite purpose. Oh God why are you
also punish Yana due to my sin? I traced the streets, I do not know which
direction the legs will carry me.
“Nurrrr…”
I even turn round.
"Raihan!"
"Nur, stop! When will
you want to go? Go back! Yana so pity. She iss too young, she does not just
need you as a mother. She needs me. Go back Nur, back!... "said Raihan
from the other side of the road.
"No, you go home
honey. I do not want to ruin your relationship with your mother. I do not want
to see you more sad and ashamed of my past!. Go back, I promise to keep Yana
well. "Said me.
I was running away from
him. He did not listen to my words, he was chasing me until at last I heard he
rippling again.
"Nuuuur
..............."
"GRUBAAAAAAK"
I gasped, my eyes glared up
with a blank stare. I hear the scream out of the people. I looked back and ...
"Oh God, Don’t you
tired of giving the ordeal of this on me?"
He lying in the street, his
head covered in blood. Agency also crowded roads affected by droplets and
splashes of blood. I ran towards it. Not a single word was able to get out of
my mouth. Just tear dripping one by one that may be able to describe how the
fragility of my heart.
"Nur, I love you. Keep
Yana well. Be a good woman. Don’t Nur! Don’t ever go back to your past. Promise
me.. "His last words before departure.
"Oh my God, what am I
doing to him? What the crime else have I done? What should I say to his mother
and the other? O God, when this suffering will end? When are you going to test
my tired. I'm tired O my God. I'm tired!! "I said in my heart, crying
hugging her bodies already in staying away his soul.
At that moment I felt that
if God never fair to me. He goes on and on my test. He gave me good people, as
I love them He also called them back to leave me forever.
That;['s the story of my
life that has been outlined by God to me. Yana has now been turned into a
11-year-old girl. I became a single parent and a widow. We live in a rented
house is simple. I sell various kinds of fried to connect my life. Yes, the
result of selling is not comparable to the resulting of pilfer.
However, I've promised to
keep Yana to Raihan. I do not want to see Yana be like me in past. Therefore I
was educated and raised in a way that in the blessed God.
Over time I understand, if
all this is just my life journey full of color. And happiness does not always
have to be striped of glitz and hustle. Living like this, as simple as this,
together with Yana, I feel very happy. Look at Yana’s growing to be a smart and
independent girl who I felt did not want to ask another thing to get over the
happiness to God....
My mother in law and other
family? They already know and understand me and never questioned again about my
past. They also do not blame me for the Raihan’s death. They often visited Yana
as their granddaughter and nieces.
And that care, it was
enough for me and Yana.
