Am I Different?
(S2) ~ Red Lantern

Then he got out of his seat and walked out of the room. Feeling guilty for yelling at you the more I feel.

"Mom." I looked at my mother with tears.

My mother came up to me, and hugged my body. Never have I seen my father look this angry, the fear deepened in my heart.

"Al, you calm Diman. Let Keyla be with Mom and Santi" said Granny Rahmah.

Mom nodded her head, then waltzed out of the room. I couldn't hold back my tears, the tightness in my chest shackled me. My sobs cannot change a situation that is so fatal to me. Someone who was so patient and gentle, became angry and silent a thousand languages.

"Already, Son. Later let your mother who helped muffle Dad's emotions, next time do not repeat again. Your father and mother forbid you because they love you" she said.

"Key, don't cry. I follow sad," Jeje said with a sad face.

At that moment, I saw my father and mother back in the room simultaneously. The grandmother, who saw him, pulled away from my side to give me a place to sit.

Dad looked at me back, but I turned my face down. I dare not look at my father when he was angry, he rushed to hug me.

Flood tears were pouring down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Dad," I said.

"Yes, Deck. Please understand for now. Never say as if we have the thought of judging you like that, I am sad and devastated when I hear it," said the father.

"Yes, Dad. Forgive Dedek," I said again.

Dad let go of his embrace while wiping away the tears on my cheek.

"Father's son should not be sad. You're our encouragement here, we fought together for you to recover huh, Dek," said the father.

I nodded my head. Lali's mother approached us both, then hugged us. Even though you have forgiven me, in my deepest heart you still feel guilty. I was too late to realize that I didn't deserve to say it to my father.

Too rude and painful, I feel that I have been disobeying my father at this time. But my feelings are deliberately quiet, I do not want to change the atmosphere that has improved to runyam back.

One by one starting from grandmother, aunt and Jeje out kama, then followed by mother. Right now it's me and my dad who are here.

"You take the medicine first, then go to sleep immediately. May the time of awakening be another miracle, Dek." Dad kissed my forehead, then stepped his foot out of the room.

I also obeyed my father's orders, I rushed to take medicine and went to sleep immediately. I lay my body in a half-sitting position, with a lot of rest that I set high.

I close my eyes, I put my body as comfortable as possible. It didn't take long for me to fall into dreamland.

______________

I open my eyes, look around me. I didn't meet anyone here, I got out of where I lay. I walked down a path I had never been on before. Shady trees, the sound of birds sounding at each other.

The reddish blue sky indicates that dusk has come. I walked quickly so as not to spend the night on the streets that do not know the direction and end of this. I wish I'd met a house or someone to help me.

"Dad, Mother." I shouted out to call.

But there is no one here. I just remember me before here, lying on my bed. I'm confused as to why I'm here.

The sky was getting dark, the sunlight was hiding. The sound of crickets breaking the silence of the night, the moon refused to show its light.

The road is unidirectional but feels endless. The wind blew away the scattered leaves, making me even more afraid. Feeling tired, hungry is approaching me.

"Oh my God, where is this?" my word.

I stepped away from where I stood, towards a tree to rest. I sat down, and leaned my back on the trunk of this tree.

I tayamum, with the limitations of my clothes, so I worship wearing my current clothes. I'm determined, hoping someone will come down this road and help me get out of this forest.

Suddenly after I prayed, I saw from a distance a red light. When I focus on looking at it, like a lantern but what makes it awkward is the color that is bright red.

Without a second thought, I walked towards the red lantern. However, the further I went, the further the lantern went. The one I originally walked through the path, was currently walking inside the forest.

"I'm where is this?" I stared around me, just the trees and the one red lantern light I saw.

In my mind I wanted to stop following that light, but I also did not know the direction to the first street I was here. I sat back under the tree, but I saw the red light looking very close to my current position.

"Where is this?" my babble while staring at my surroundings.

I got back from where I was sitting, and walked back to the lantern. But this time, the lantern did not move away but stopped in place.

A happy feeling greeted me, I hoped that the person carrying the lantern could help me get out of here. I walked closer to the lantern.

The moaning sound of people in pain rang out from the direction of the lantern. In addition, people heard shouting and cursing. I strolled around, trying to peek at the sound and source of the lantern.

I saw two people there. One man carried the red lantern and the other hand carried a sharp-looking machete. The other person was a woman, tied to a tree trunk in a sitting position.

"Conscious, Ken. I'm your brother, throw away the lantern" said the woman.

The woman's leg was bleeding, probably from a male machete stroke called Ken.

The darkness of the night is not the only reason I'm afraid. But a guy named Ken scares me more.

"Silence bangs*t, what kind of brother killed his own father!" hardik the man with anger.

"You misunderstood me, not me" the woman said again.

"Ha ha ha, I'm not a baby you can lie to. The knife is proof!" said Ken with a high tone.

The woman looks terrified, but she tries to explain everything in Ken. But Ken never seems to be poking at him.

"Ken, dangengerin Brother. Put down the lantern and the machete, I tell you this misunderstanding" the woman said.

"Shut up!" shout Ken.

Ken carried the lantern and the machete closer towards the woman. The wobble was brought to the injured woman's leg.

"Ken, don't be crazy about you" said the woman.

"My crazy what are you? You murderer!" hardik Ken again.
