(Not) My Crown Ruler
002
The morning is taking over the world. The sound of chicken crowing is mutually disdainful. The scorching sunlight slowly entered into a simple room in one of the tenement houses at the foot of the mountain. Through the glass window of the room where an old woman seemed as unwilling as she occasionally shed her tears.
Yes, it was Ranti's grandmother, an old woman who was the grandmother of Adiba Anisa.
The woman was seen crying as she moved her hands, clearing the body of the granddaughter who appeared to be lying unconscious on the bed with multiple slap scars all over her body.
Anisa didn't come home last night. Making Grandma Ranti was so anxious to make. And this morning, just as I was looking at the dawn prayer, the old woman was about to go to the mosque to perform her dawn prayer, the old grandmother was surprised by the existence of Anisa who seemed to lie unconscious right in front of their door. Conditions concern. His clothes were shapeless. His face was randomly scrambled with patches of blood that appeared to start to dry up at the tip of his lips. His cheeks were a red slap. While all over the neck and chest there is a purplish red stain like the former suction of the human mouth.
Grandma Ranti was surprised. While Ratna, Anisa's stepmother looks angry. Since then the middle-aged woman was incessantly urinating. Cussing at Anisa's maki who hasn't even regained consciousness from her stupor.
The clock showed at nine in the morning. Ranti's grandmother was still faithfully sitting beside the bed while staring bitterly at her beloved granddaughter. Till...
The lentic eyelids appear to move slowly. Anisa moved her head faintly. Ranti's grandmother who had been waiting for Anisa realized that then moved both hands. Touching the back of the hand and rubbing the head of Anisa gently.
"Nis.." said Ranti softly. Anisa slowly opened her eyes. He looked at me towards the grandmother who seemed to condense. Anisa didn't say a word. He moved his eyes in all directions. As if remembering, where he is now.
"Nis.." said Ranti. Anisa did not answer. He's silent. I stared blankly at my grandmother. Then...
Seett...
Anisa rose from her sleep. He looks like a confused person. The woman moved shuffled to grab the grandmother's arm as if asking for protection while hugging her not too thick blanket.
"Grandma!" anisa said crying. Ranti's confused grandmother also clutched the body of the grandson as if to provide calm for the young girl.
"Grandmother..!! Grandma, please. Ohhhhhhhhhhh..!!" said Anisa while continuing to wiggle. It was as if he wanted to hide his body in the arms of that random woman.
"Yes, Son. It's Grandma. You why?" ask grandma Ranti not understand. Anisa is crying with fear. The horrific shadow of her snatched precious crown that she guarded that happened last night in Jesslyn's private room was re-twisted in her brain. He cried so much considering the tragic incident that happened to him. Anisa squeezes the grandmother's clothes. He roared as if asking for protection from the old woman.
The young girl's mind was torn apart. He was forced by his own boss's lover last night until he was unconscious many times. Even Luke firmly threw the body of Anisa that he had plucked without permission in front of the girl's house when morning began to approach, when he was satisfied to pound the holy body all out.
Anisa was crying without even talking about what happened. The cry echoed even out of the house. Ranti's grandmother with various thoughts and question marks in her mind continued to hug the body of the grandson, as if to calm the poor girl. Till...
Braakk..!
The door was slammed violently. A middle-aged woman entered the room carrying a broom in her hand.
"Basan kiddo pela cur!! Here you are!" ratna snapped furiously while trying to pull Anisa's hand to go with her.
Anisa squealing. He hid his body in the arms of his grandmother.
"Ratna, no!!" prevent Ranti's grandmother while continuing to hold tightly to the grandson as if to protect him from the attacks of his stepmother.
"Don't keep on, Mom! Release him!" ratna snapped wrath at the mother who now hugged Anisa as if not allowing the grandson to be hurt.
"Istighfar you, Rat...! Don't do this! Listen to Nisa's explanation!" said grandma Ranti.
"What is explained?! She's a cheap daughter, of course she's following in her mother's footsteps. I don't know in your profit! Get out of my house!" peekik Ratna while trying to pull Nisa's hand and want to drag her out of the house. Ranti's grandmother held her back. Seizing the grandson and trying to keep him away from Ratna.
"ENOUGH!! Enough's enough..! No one can drive Anisa away! He's grandson!! Enough heartache with your husband but don't involve Anisa! He is innocent!!" bela Ranti's grandmother.
"Why does mom always defend her? I'm a mother's son! I'm the one who's hurt, I'm the victim! This child should not exist in this world!!" ratna snapped blindly. The leg even swung to give a kick to the poor girl's body, but Ranti's grandmother blocked it. Anisa was crying. She was terrified in the grandmother's arms.
"Yes, you are a victim. But Anisa's not the culprit! Mistakes happened to your husband and his mistress, not to Anisa! Istighfar you, son. This child never asked to be born from an affair!!" said Ranti's grandmother roared while continuing to hold tightly to the grandson. Ratna looked at the violent Anisa. He hated that girl. The woman then moved her hand. Pointing hatefully towards the frightened Anisa.
"You, listen you're good good! From today I forbid you to be close to me, touch my stuff and eat my food. Live here but never dream of enjoying everything in this house if I buy it with my money. I'm disgusted by a cheap female lineage like you!" ratna said it was painful. He then threw a broom in his hand towards Anisa. Grandma Ranti reflex pronounces istighfar. While Ratna then passed away leaving the place. Anisa cried again in the grandmother's arms. It is unfortunate that his life must be side by side with a stepmother.
Yes, Anisa is the daughter and step-granddaughter of Ratna and Ranti's grandmother. Anisa is the child born from an affair that occurred between Mr. Herman, Ratna's husband, with a woman who knows who lives in the big city where Mr. Herman lived nineteen years ago.
Ratna's inability to give offspring became the background of the affair between Mr. Herman and Anisa's biological mother. The two had a secret romance behind Ratna when Mr. Herman was away from his then-wife who lived in the village.
Long story short, the affair died after giving birth to Anisa. That made Mr. Herman inevitably had to bring Anisa home with him, because no other family would care for Anisa at that time.
Which woman's heart is not broken? Which woman's feelings do not crumble dimly, when she found her husband cheating with another woman. Then, bravely, the man brought the proceeds of his affair back to the house that should be the most comfortable palace for Ratna and Mr. Herman.
Ratna did not accept it. He hated the child of that forbidden relationship.
The presence of Anisa managed to destroy the harmony between Ratna and Mr. Herman. Peace and tranquility in the household noses both disappeared. Bickering and quarrels often occur between the couple.
However, Ratna never divorced Mr. Herman. She continued to stand with the man even though every day she had to endure the anger and resentment of seeing the child from her husband's infidelity grow up.
Time keeps going. Anisa grew into a beautiful girl figure with a soft heart. The parasites are charming, he said softly. In addition, he also has a pretty good intelligence. She grew up to be an accomplished student at her school. Making Mr. Herman and Ranti's grandmother who apparently could accept the existence of Anisa was also so proud of the beautiful virgin.
Until, at one point, the father breathed his last because of a work accident. Anisa was twelve years old.
Anisa's world is destroyed. The one who loves him the most has gone before the Almighty. Since then, Anisa has only lived with her stepmother and grandmother. Various harsh and painful treatment Anisa often received from Ratna. The woman even banned Anisa from going to college after Anisa graduated high school on the grounds of having no fees. At that time, Anisa was offered a scholarship, but Ratna insisted on banning it. He seemed to not want Anisa to grow into a useful and accomplished person. He doesn't want to see Anisa succeed. He does not want to see the child of a woman who has become a thorn in a happy marriage.
Now the problem has reappeared. Anika dij*sa. He was spotted by a man he did not know. Now Anisa does not dare to tell what really happened to her grandmother and mother. She was afraid of her mother's anger. He feared that Ratna would wrath and drive him out of their house.
