Anjani Darling
Waiting Pick Up

I've been in this home for three days. Every day I just sit in the front and stare at the streets. I wish mom and dad would come to pick me up. It feels like I've missed it. But the expected one does not come.

Until one afternoon, when Diana and the other children came home. I don't know why he said that what I did was in vain. Mom and Dad will never come.

"Come Anjani. Why are you still waiting here? You know, your Mom and Dad will never come!" said Diana.

"Mom and Dad are coming!" I speak with conviction.

"You've been banished, Anjani. A discarded child will never be picked up!" Diana did not want to lose.

"That's not true. Mom and Dad will pick me up!"

"Basic freak. It's been said, you're just a discarded child. Your presence is not expected!"

"No. That's not true!" I was so upset to hear Diana's words.

"Anjani!" brother Zein who just came home, called me. "Why yell?"

"Sister, tell him not to sit in front of here anymore. His mother and father will not come. Aye, right?" Diana's looking for Zein's support.

"Anjani, what Diana said was true. You better go inside. Don't sit here anymore because your Father and Mother won't come" Brother Zein said.

"No. That's not true. Mom and Dad will come!" now my frustration is with Brother Zein

"No Anjani. What Diana said was right. Every child who has been sent to this home will never be picked up again." Zein explained.

"No!" I was getting upset, so I unconsciously pushed Zein's body until she slipped against the wall.

"Sister Zein!" Diana squealed.

The other children shouted to the head mother and aunt Desi. Not long as the called came. They looked panicked when they saw blood flowing from Zein's torn brow.

"Zeez!" mother head was so hit. "Call the doctor immediately!"

The two with aunt Desi, the head mother carried brother Zein into the head's room. While I can just keep quiet watching all this.

I didn't mean to hurt Zein's sister, let alone hurt her. I spontaneously pushed him because Brother Zein was following along saying that father and mother would never come.

Unfortunately the head mother did not want to hear my explanation. He looked angry that I had harmed his only son.

"You're such a bad boy!" mommy head hit me on the foot with a rattan. "It's a good thing I got it, but it hurt my son!"

"Aaaaaaa, sick!" I screamed while shedding tears. "sickness. Dad, Mommy!"

"Get your Mom and Dad as loud as you can. You think they're coming? No. gabe. They'll never come. Now I understand why they don't want you, because you're a bad boy. It's only been three days that you've made a fatal problem!"

Blows. For the sake of punch continued to be thrown by the mother head until I fell down with legs full of blood. It really hurts.

"Mother, stop. Forgive Anjani. She must have been unintentional." Aunt Desi's love.

"Anjani did it on purpose, Bi. I saw it for myself!" said Diana.

"You intentionally hurt my son? What's wrong, huh? Let's answer!" my mother pulled my arm, but because both of my legs were injured, my body immediately collapsed onto the floor as she let go of me.

"You're lucky. Now I'm releasing you. But if anything happens to Zein, then I will punish you!" I satus the head mother before leaving me.

"Anjani, let's go to the room. Your leg is injured, let's treat it." Aunt Desi's hard-earned carried me to the room. Arriving at the room, aunt Desi cleaned my wound. Then give him medicine.

"It hurts!" I said, crying.

"Anjani darling!" aunt Desi cried, she hugged me tightly. "Oh my God, it's a tough test of your life, son. You are so young!"

The wounds on both my legs were quite severe. But aunt Desi did not dare to ask permission to call a doctor to the head mother, she only treated the wound on my leg with potluck medicine. To reduce the pain, auntie peeled it all night, while I fell asleep on my stomach.

***

Two days have passed. I'm still in the room. Aunt Desi forbade me from going out because she was worried about making my head angry because my brother Zein is still healing.

The wound on Zein's leg head was quite wide, so it had to be stitched. He had a fever due to an allergy to antibiotics.

This morning Aunt Desi looks troubled. Apparently he had to go shopping, but was afraid to leave me alone.

"Listen Anjani. Auntie's afraid that Chief Mother is still upset with you, so Auntie asks not to leave the room until Aunt comes home. Lock the door from the inside, yes." said aunt Desi.

After the aunt left, I locked the door from inside the room. But what Desi's aunt was worried about happened, the head mother came to the room.

At first I didn't want to open it out of fear, but due to being threatened, I finally opened the door.

"Now come with me!" said the head mother, dragging my steps.

"Where are we going, Mom?" I asked, while holding the pain in both legs.

Head mother doesn't say anything. He continued walking towards the back of the home. Then in front of a building that looked dirty, the head mother opened the door. In just a few seconds, he pushed me down into a building that turned out to be a warehouse.

"Mother ... Please don't lock me up!" I asked, banging on the door. I was really scared because once the door was closed, it was dark.

"Please ... please .. please!" I screamed out loud, trying to get help. But until my voice was hoarse, not a single person came.

"Dad, Mother ... Aunt Desi!" I almost lost hope. Just as I was about to sit down, something suddenly grabbed my leg.

"Aaaaaaa, rat!" out of fear, I ran away. After feeling safe, then I sat on the floor, crying while enduring the pain in both legs.

"Dad, Mother. They locked Anjani up. They don't love Anjani. Get Anjani home, Dad, Mom!"

"Dad, he said he would always look after Anjani. When Anjani needs Dad, he will always come just by calling Dad's name three times. But from earlier Anjani had shouted calling, Dad did not come!

Mother also .. she said dear Anjani. I said I would never leave Anjani alone, but now Anjani is alone, I'm not coming to pick her up.

Please Anjani Well, Mom!" So scared, I kept calling Mom and Dad.

"Anjani will be a good boy. Anjani won't be much in demand. Anjani just wants to be with Mom and Dad. Please pick up Anjani. Kangen Dad, Mom ... Homehouse. Aunt Heni. Mother teacher Orange, Dino, Felli!"

Here, only Aunt Desi loves me. Others no. Even Brother Zein is evil. He said I was just an outcast. Mom and Dad won't pick me up.
