Because I'M Father
Thankfully there was Alisa

I opened my eyes, still close, what a warm sun. But the light woke me up. I smell bad in my house, of course it stinks of alcohol last night. Last night I was so drunk I fell asleep on the floor until morning.

When I remembered that the three monsters weren't home, I went back to lying on the floor. My head was still dizzy, even as I looked at the three small monsters in front of me, it turned out that the effect had not completely disappeared. I better go to sleep again, hoping that when I wake up, the three monsters are back.

BYURR

"HEY! ALISANO ALDEN! GETUP!" shouted someone who was flirting with me.

I woke up and saw the woman in front of me. My eyes are still blurry, or am I minus? I see her as not a woman, is she a woman or a man? Why is his body big—but he is short. Hey, is he human or not? Or wolves? It's bullshit!

"ALDEN OPEN YOUR EYES!" scream again loud.

"You're what? Wh who? Woman or man?" I immediately got to throw the bucket.

I rubbed my head that was hit by the throw of a bucket, then just opened my eyes clearly.

"CHUCK! Brother?" seruku surprised.

"What do you think? Juric?" shelin asked with a rogue face.

"I think gorilla" I muttered, but Shelin heard it and made her straight overlay my body.

"Alden! You can get drunk, huh? If you knew, you'd be dead!" her screams grabbed my shirt, while she overcame my body.

I don't know if he's heavy.

I removed her body, and this soaked me sat with my arms around her legs. Of course my feet, where the elephant's feet might be.

"What's wrong with being drunk?" I half muttered.

"Basar rancid boy. You're not conscious yet? Should I dabble in the sea water?" the one sitting next to me.

"If your little monster finds out and smells this how? Ah, it sucks, just don't know," she's upset.

"They're not home" I said, still staring blankly at the bottles in front of me.

"What's? Where are they? Who are they with? They're not at Mama's house, where are they going?" panic Shelin.

"DON'T SAY LOST, HUH?!" she screamed and I sighed to tell her. Anyway Shelin should know, and I also need a friend confat—only Shelin can I rely on.

"They were taken by my in-laws" I said incompletely.

"What's? In-law? Since when do you have in-laws? You never introduced me to her? You already have a wife, huh? Huh uh? Very quickly, Al," asked the plain Shelin.

All this time we have considered that my wife's family died with my late wife, so Shelin asked absurdly.

"No, he's a dead in-law" I explained. However, Shelin was silent. I saw his face had no expression.

"Sister, are you okay? Did you have any cramps? Is your face cramping? Brother answer!" my frightened screams of Shelin suddenly went silent.

"I'm loading, asshole!" he returned like a tiger.

"You mean the old man 'him'?" tanya Shelin made sure.

And I nodded. "Why did you let that happen? You should have prevented! They've got no rights, Al! Why come again? Didn't they die all this time? Why come now and take your little monster? Stupidhead! You shouldn't let that! Rancid boy! You're not sane, are you?! You wanna die? What if your monster is taken away? You're going crazy? Alden realize!" he shouted after asking repeatedly, like a Raper.

"Sister, isn't your throat broken? Yelling continues to be pointless, you have no idea what I'm going through. They persuaded Nio, Zio and Vio so expertly, then you told me to fight in front of them? The little monsters will be afraid of me and will choose to follow them if I get angry or scream. Am I stupid or are you?!" I shouted not to lose.

Now Shelin was sitting beside me, hugging her knees staring blankly at the front. "You're right, Al. Then what are you gonna do?" shelin asked without looking at me.

"Let them-"

"Hey! You're that stupid? Then what's the point of taking care of them all this time if you want to give them away for free, to the people who dumped you!" he shouted again before I finished speaking.

It was hard to make this woman not scream.

"You think it's that easy to take my son? Go ahead with my body!" I cried out loud.

"You've flooded into my face" said Shelin, wiping his face and smiling awkwardly.

"What's your plan?" shelin asked after wiping his face, not forgetting to brush his teeth this morning.

"You forgot? Didn't you yourself say ... if no one can take care of my Ios but me?" tanyaku abbreviated their names to Io, and Shelin simply nodded. It seems to have to be more detailed.

"If only I could, they wouldn't be able to, and they would give me back the monster. After all Io can't live without me, they're just close to me. You know that, right?" tanyaku and Shelin leaned on my shoulder.

"I know you're tough, Al, even though you're thin, but I know you're great and wise" she said, leaning over my shoulder.

It seems his words are not moving.

"But still you can't drink!" he screamed and I stood up.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Mandi," I replied and left.

I knew Shelin wouldn't tell my parents this, he knew that I could solve this well.

He also knows I'm handsome.

I sat by the window. No, this is the big glass that connects the street with my restaurant. It's confusing, which is obvious I'm sitting and drinking coffee alone here.

"Sister Alden?" I directly looked.

"Alisa? Why are you here?" ask the girl in the police uniform.

"I'm buying coffee, how about you?" ask Alisya and sit down in front of me.

"I'm .. I'm drinking coffee," I replied smiling stiffly.

"Where are they?" ask Alisya ambiguous.

"They're who? Who're they? Wh-who? They-they?" my question grew ambiguous and Alisya laughed while covering her mouth.

What stink?

"You're so funny. I mean they're your kids, they're not coming?" asked Alisya with slightly raised eyebrows.

"Owh .. they're gone" I said with a limp shoulder.

For some reason with Alisya, I want to tell you everything. I complained, I was just comfortable with this girl.

"No, they're in my late wife's grandmother's place" I replied, and the girl only formed an O on her lips.

"But, um .. You know, my relationship with my late wife's family is not good, and now after all this time, after what they did to me … they came back just to take a little monster from me" I told him.

"Did something happen? I mean something wrong?" alisya asked so curiously.

"Yes, something that hurts me, they don't deserve to consider my son as their grandson, because they have broken that bond themselves. However, they are not ashamed to come to me asking for things that are not their right."

Why am I a long story this wide, suppose I am babbling.

"Then what now? Do you mind? I mean, what if they were taken out of the country? Which would obviously take them away from you, how?" tanya Alisya assumed.

And I immediately panicked, his words were right. I didn't even think about it before.

Alden where's your brain?

"You're right, stupid me. Why don't I think about that. You stupid fool, Al!" my nagging to myself.

"Then what now?" ask again, awaken me.

"It seems I should catch up with them," I said standing up.

"I'm coming!" Alisha stood up.

Wouldn't he help later? He's a cop, he can help me take the little monsters back to me, can't he?

"All right, come on."

I pulled Alisya's hands together out of the restaurant, and now entered my car. "Don't speed too much, take good care of yourself, and appreciate the other riders." I nodded in understanding.

Remember that! Alisya is a cop.

"Understand me" I answered directly driving my car.

I half glanced at the girl beside me who had been looking at me. I could also see her face panicked from worry, it seemed like the girl really loved the little monsters. From the beginning of just meeting her she was so gentle with them, I could tell which one she wanted and which one was sincere, even though I wasn't Roy Marteen or You Ting Ting's brother.

A few minutes later I arrived at the big house. I got down with this beautiful policeman from the car, but my steps stopped as I was about to enter the big gate of the house. Evil memories slipped back into my head, twisting the facts that were still so clear.

Even I could see myself being kicked out of this house.

"Go away and never come back!"

The rain flushed me at that moment, I who was pushed only fell on the black asphalt in front of this gate. Even my tears fell with the torrent of rain that battered my body.

"Go! And take care of your own children, they are not my daughters! They're just your kids!"

Even though I was scolded, pushed and chased away, not a single word escaped my lips.

BRAKKHS

The sound of the gate rings echoed, leaving me alone outside the gate. I began to walk away from the cursed house. I swore I would never go back to that house. I who have been cast out, walk contorted by hugging myself, under the rush of rain—aku Alden Alisano enjoy the wounds with lightning that is like laughing at my wounds.

That very day, I swore that this wound would never be forgotten. I promised to take care of my three children alone, and I promised to change 'him' position as Mother.

With the wound, I live and stand up to this moment.

"Sister Alden, come on!" ask Alisya to pull my hand, but I am so stiff as a hard stone to move.

I can't go into that house anymore, even for me it's just a bitter memory that I shouldn't remember.

"I can't" I said, stepping away. But he stopped my steps.

"Is your wound still important? Even when you've been hurt inside for your son. Then you forget ... Whose wound did you sacrifice for? It's a waste of time that you get hurt if you lose your child that makes you willing to get hurt. Don't be selfish, even if I don't know how deep you hurt, I beg you! You're not a weakling who can only turn the wound around, come in and take your right!" pekik Alisya.

His words are right, I can't be selfish. Although this hurts— I am not weak. Why would I pass all the wounds in that moment, if I ended up losing my son too.

Thankfully there was Alisa.
