Angel Guard Selena
Visiting Father

This afternoon after work, Selena who this time was not picked up by Daniel plans to visit his father. After all, it had been three weeks since he had returned home. The three most comfortable weeks of his life, no one snapped at him, no one hit him or slapped him, no harsh words he usually received almost every night. However, today somehow Selena misses her father. Even though his father was always rude to him, deep down Selena always hoped that one day his father would wake up from all his actions and become a better person again.

Before driving by the city bus to his house, he first sent a message to Daniel. He told him his position now, however he did not want Daniel to worry about looking for him.

With Martabak Bangka, her father's favorite food, Selena walked down the small streets to her house. Selena recalls how she spent her childhood in her house, how she cried in the street when her Dad and Mom had a fight, and the last time when her Dad hit her. All those memories one by one appeared within his memories. Approaching her home, Selena slowly stepped on her feet. In his heart, he was still afraid of facing his father. However, as a child and as the only family that existed Selena encouraged herself to come.

In front of her house, Selena saw several people sitting in front of her porch, the smell of cigarette smoke and liquor was so pungent. With a heart that trembled with fear, Selena opened the gate of her house and looked for her father's whereabouts.

"Dad.... Fathering.... Selena's coming."

About four people with red faces from drinking were staring at Selena. They know that Selena is the child who owns the house. Eventually the drunken men left Selena's house. While the father he wanted to meet had not yet seen himself. Selena did not dare to go inside the house. He was just standing on the porch of his house waiting for his father. Until the day has changed night.

Long wait, Selena ventured into the house, she saw how dirty and messed up the house. He put his briefcase on the sofa, then took a broom and a mop. He picked up cigarette stubs that were scattered everywhere. He mops the floor that looks dirty, then he throws bottles of liquor into the trash. Almost an hour Selena, cleaned her house. The sound of a motorbike was heard entering her yard, and Selena rushed outside.

The man who got off the motorcycle drunk was Selena's father.

"Dad.... Selena's coming."

Selena greeted her father who returned home again drunk.

"Oh, this ungodly child has gone home apparently."

Her father's words hurt Selena so much. Children come home not greeted with warm greetings and hugs, but instead greeted with words that pierced the heart.

"Dad....."

"Why did you come here, the boy didn't know himself? Aren't you the one who intended to leave this house, for you to return?"

"Dad..... Forgive Selena Well.. Selena just wanted to visit me for a minute."

"You're acting like your mom, who's playing with a stranger? It wasn't wrong, all this time. Yeah, you're his son, so it's obvious that you're like him."

Selena cried tears at the words of her father who likened himself to his mother for going with another man.

"Dad. I was wrong."

"I saw you go out with that guy myself, how could you think I was wrong. Then, what are you here for?"

"Selena bought Dad's favorite Martabak Bangka. Selena's back at work, Dad. Selena remembered me, so Selena came here."

"Dad doesn't need Martabak Bangka from a bad boy like you. You better leave now, and don't come here again."

"Dad...."

Selena still cries to say no matter how she is her son, she misses his father, and she always wishes her father could change.

"Dad, please listen to Selena this time. Stop drinking booze Well. It's not good for Dad's health. Too much booze could be Dad's organs."

"Dad...."

"You want to talk to your dad so he's dead, right? Don't talk to Dad. Get out of here and get your martabak there, I won't take food from the boy who prayed his father died."

"Dad... That's not what Selena meant. Dad has to change well, that's Selena's hope. Don't drink any more."

Selena cried sobbing talking to her father. From his heart he really wanted his father to change.

"Go there. Don't come here again. You don't need to nengokin your father!"

Her father held Selena's hand tightly and threw her out of the house. After Selena came out, her father also threw Martabak who was still at the table outside right about Selena's clothes and shoes.

Selena was crying. He picked up Martabak who had fallen to the ground, put it in his container, then threw it in the trash.

"Dad, why is Dad so mean to me? I always remember Dad. I never forgot Dad. But, again and again Dad hit me. Selena's sick.... Huu.... Huo..... "

Selena came out of her house with puffy eyes, the corner of her injured lip, and her dirty clothes hit by Martabak's throw. His current condition would certainly be a mockery of others if he came home by a city bus. People's spies will be on him. He opened his bag, looking to see if there was a mask there to cover the wounds on his face. How lucky he was to get a mask in there. He immediately took it and put it on. At least by using a mask, the wounds on the face and the corners of his lips will be covered.

Afterwards, Selena booked an online taxi to drive her home to Daniel's apartment.

On the other hand, Daniel waited for Selena to come home, the girl did indeed tell him to visit his father for a while, but it was almost 9pm and he had not returned. Daniel called several times but was not answered. The man was pacing back and forth in the living room waiting for news from Selena. Daniel will wait until 10, when Selena hasn't arrived he will pick her up.

Minutes change, minutes change hours. Daniel takes the keys to his car and wants to find Selena. He will open the door, but it will open first.

"Selena....."

Daniel is shocked to see Selena's dirty clothes and the girl goes home covering her face with a mask.

"Sorry, I just got home." Greeting Selena to Daniel who stood before her.

"You why Selena? Why is it like this?"

"Hmmm, ordinary Daniel. How's my father."

The girl smiled bitterly.

Without saying much, Daniel grabbed Selena's hand. He led the injured girl to her seat. Daniel took the P3K box and took back the bruised ointment Selena had obtained when she was hospitalized.

Daniel removed the mask that covered Selena's face. She looked up at her red face and the corners of her injured lips.

"Like this again Cell?" Daniel asked with tears in his eyes.

It was only a day that she did not pick up Selena, allowing her time with her father, but eventually the girl had to get hurt. Daniel blamed himself. He feels like he failed to take care of Selena. The girl he had to protect, but came home with messy dirty clothes and cuts on her face. Daniel was really sorry not to be next to Selena to look after him.
