Anjani Darling
Memories of That Night

PreKK. The sound of wood breaking. My smile immediately grew watching the sun entering through the hole. The light shines on the warehouse so that it is no longer dark. Now, it looks real condition of the warehouse that is messy. Much more scary than before.

That said, said aunt Desi, this warehouse was once a room where people who lost their memories and like to make trouble. They are deliberately placed a bit away from the settlement residents, next to the coffee garden so that the screams do not disturb the community.

In the past, there was one of his patients who died here because it was not managed. That's why this place is closed. Other patients were transferred to mental hospitals in the District, where this shelter is no longer used, given to care homes. Unfortunately, the building that has been neat and a little far from the main building of the home makes it unused, only used as a storage place for items that have not been used.

"I'm not afraid of ghosts. I'm not afraid of rats. I'm not afraid of cockroaches. I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm just afraid of hunger!" I said, cast a spell to drive out fear.

Slowly I started moving, about to squeakily clean things that were very messy. But, when I was about to push the chair that was already protein, suddenly from inside the bus hole came out the little mouse children. They're running around in disarray. Makes me ticklish and spontaneously scream.

"Dad ... Mama!" I pulled over to the corner of the room, while trying to drive away the rat cubs that accidentally approached.

The fear started to come, like when my head first put me in here. I want to go home!

It was almost perfect when I was with my mom and dad. We live in a big house. I feel like everyone loves me. Father, mother, aunt Heni who took care of me since the baby, mother teacher Orange, my two best friends Dino and Felli as well as other friends at school.

Everything started to change when I was seven years old. When it was a break, in the back garden, I sat alone, and prayed to God to be given a grandfather like his grandfather Dino and Felli who was very good and often gave gifts.

I was jealous of my two best friends, they had a grandfather who always obeyed all his wishes. In fact, his grandfather Dino and Felli often bought two large ice cream boxes. In fact, if you are with your mother, you are only allowed to eat one box.

In addition, my best friend's grandfather also likes to read stories before they go to sleep. I love taking an afternoon walk, cradling around a residential park and giving funny gifts.

"God's promise, if you have Grandpa, Anjani will love Grandpa, also obey all his wishes. Give Anjani Grandpa O Allah!" doors again.

As I prayed, I felt that everything was starting to change. For the first time, at night, I heard my mom and dad fighting. Mom screamed loudly while crying. Out of curiosity, I came out of the room that was right next to my father and mother's room.

From the door of the room slightly opened, I saw my father and mother standing face to face. Mother pointed at father's face while angry.

"I'm really sorry I married you. I should have followed what my father said. You'll never make me happy!" mother said, shedding tears.

"Keep proud of your father. You can't appreciate the efforts of others!" reply dad.

"You who can't respect others. You can only trouble me like your mother!"

Plaque. Father's hand floated to mother's cheek, so that mother's body fell down. Mother's crying gets louder. He got up while holding his cheeks that looked red.

"You evil Hans, evil. I will no longer be your wife. I want a divorce!" mom walked into the closet, picked up the suitcase from above, then stuffed her clothes in a disheveled fashion.

Seeing my mom put clothes in my suitcase scared me. I remember a soap opera that I watched while playing with Aunt Heni, when there was someone who put his clothes in a large suitcase while crying, it was a sign that he would go far.

"Will mom go?" suddenly I was so scared if it happened that I unconsciously went into the room. "Mother!" call me.

"Anjani" said father and mother simultaneously.

"Anjani hasn't slept?" mother asked, wiping the rest of her tears.

"We're leaving this house, Anjani!" mother said, holding my hand.

"Who said. If you want to go, please. But Anjani stays here!" dad pulled me over swiftly.

"No. Anjani's coming with me!" sentak.

"Go and never show up again in this house!" dad kicked mom.

"Anjani!" mom tried to take me.

Dad kept avoiding me from my mom. He even had Aunt Heni take me into the room, while the mother's voice sounded further and further away.

"Mother .. mother ... Anjani wants to be with mom!" call me with tears.

Aunt Heni said that mom had left. He won't come back, so I'm asked to sleep and not call my mother again.

"Miss Anjani, go to sleep. It's already night time. Tomorrow, miss has to go to school!" said aunt Heni, turning off my room light.

Is it true that you left and will not come back? Butwhy? I promised I wouldn't leave me. Why do mom and dad fight? Have they not loved each other all this time?

It's been three days since my mother left. I'm not going anywhere. Just lying on the bed. Aunt Heni even to the point of confusion persuaded because in addition to not getting out of bed, I also did not want to eat and go to school. Just crying and calling mom.

This morning, I went into my room. He brought me fried rice and chocolate milk. "Listen Anjani, I don't want to see you like this. From now on, you can't mention Mom's name anymore because she's not part of this family anymore. In this house there is only you and Dad. If you keep crashing, hunger strike and school like this, I can be sad. You want me to be sad?" ask dad.

I shook my head. Of course I don't want to see you sad because I love you too, as much as I love you for you.

"Then, have breakfast. Then get ready for school. Dad will take you. Okay?" said father.

"Then mom?" my many.

"Anjani, remember what Dad said earlier, don't mention mom anymore. Understood?"

"But Dad ...."

"No wear but-but, Anjani. I'm gone and I'll never come back."

My eyes kept staring at Dad. Is it true that mom won't be back. Wh why? Don't you love me and dad anymore? Didn't you miss us like you used to when you went to work for a few days, you said you missed me and dad a lot.

"Dad, Anjani loves Daddy!" I said. "Also dear Mother." I whispered in my heart. "Anjani won't make Dad sad, but don't leave Anjani." I asked, with teary eyes.

"Of course, son, I'll never leave you alone. I love you so much!" dad returned my embrace.

My eyes were wet, but I tried to stop myself from crying because I didn't want to see my father sad. I love dad very much.
