13. Moving House Plan

"Why do you want what happened. Where's Adelia?"

Mom yelled at Zaki.

Zaki nervous. He also had difficulty speaking because his mouth was in pain and bleeding.

"Adelia's behind the curtain Aunty." Zaki pointed towards the curtain where I was hiding.

"Dell, Adelia....Son Mashaallah why are you?" I panicked not to see my hair and lipstick falling apart.

"Mother.....!" I hugged my mother very tightly. I freaked. I don't even dare to look at any side. "Uncle Dirga Ma'am.hiks hiks...!" I can't continue my words. My tongue became stiff after saying his name.

"So that Aunt Om wanted to m*l*c*hkan Adelia. Thank God I came at the right time. Not much has happened yet. But I'm sure Adelia is in shock and very scared right now." Zaki told my mother.

"God what else is this trial." Mom didn't let go of her embrace. Mom kept stroking my hair. "Thank you Son. If you don't come, Auntie doesn't know what's going to happen to Adelia. Whether you can leave now seems like Adelia is afraid to see a male figure now. Sorry Aunt can't handle your wounds." Mother spoke without letting go of her embrace on me.

"I'll excuse you Tan. If Auntie needs a lawyer to report this incident ask Adelia to contact me. Assalamu'alaikum." Zaki.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Mother.

Zaki came home with guilt.

"If I had come early, Adelia wouldn't have been like that. Siallll........!" Zaki cursed and threw his sweeter on the ground but he picked it up and walked away from my house.

My mother raised my body and led me slowly to my room. One by one we climbed the stairs until Mom put me to bed and covered me.

"Sleep is Del. Calm your mind. Mother downstairs used to make an angel tea?" I just shook my head. Slowly, my mother spoke to calm me. I'm sure his heart hurts and breaks to see me like this. This time I felt the worst woman. Although nothing has happened far away but my body has been touched by another man who is not my husband. I haven't even thought about my husband.

I just went to sleep on my lap. Mom just stroked my hair. There is nothing more to say about my situation like this.

"Adel's mom's gonna find us a new home to live in. I don't want this to happen again. Your uncle could come back when Mom's not home. I'll talk to your grandmother later."

I don't agree with Mom's words. My tongue really can't say a single word.

The darkness and the silence of the night had already enveloped. I didn't get out of my bed. I even left my room completely dark.

"why not turn on the lights, son. Are you not afraid of the darkness." Mom turned on my sleeping lights. "Are you not feeling well, son?" Mom stroked my head half covered in a blanket. "Mom knows it's heavy and makes you shocked. Your uncle should have been the second person to protect you after Dad but he was cruel to you. But son do you remember the man who helped you?" I just moved my head in a sign of yes. "He seems like a good man. Mother saw his sincere face and was very angry to see your condition. I'm sure he's really good for you. Maybe you'll think about it. Eat only a little. You go to school tomorrow, right? So you must gather your courage and energy. I'll stay first."

Mom got out of my bed. What you said is all true. Zaki's a good guy. And tomorrow I have school there are still two days for the school exam after that will be a tranquilizing holiday for the preparation of the National Examination. I can't be weak. I have to be a strong Adelia. I don't want Dad to be sad to see how I am.

I finally took off my blanket. Remembering my hair and getting up and walking to the study table where mom prepared my dinner.

I eat fried chicken pieces of my favorite lower thighs. Then eat two pieces of melon and drink milk. I forced it into my mouth because I didn't want to get sick just because of this. I can get through my day by losing my father figure. I should have been able to get through this, too.

I'm tidying up my plate. I opened my door and walked down the stairs. I saw Mom talking on the phone.

"Yes well sir I'll wait tomorrow. Thank you in advance." Mom's talk was over and hung up. I saw a desperate face.

Mom holds her head up on the table. I know right now all Mom thinks about is me.

"Mom!" Call me as I continue to step down from my room stairs.

"Adels. You're already up. You really feel good now?" Mom came up to me and asked for the dinner plate I had brought. Mother then walked to the dishwasher and piled it up. Mom came back to me and sat down on the couch where the terrible thing happened this morning. Refused it. I understood my gesture and took me to the dining table.

"Whose mother called?" I opened my conversation with Mom.

"Sir Rudi. Your father's friend first. He used to handle the house buying and selling." said Mom.

"Sorry, Miss Adelia just added to Mom's burden." I held Mom's hand. We looked at each other.

"You said what, honey. You are a mother's son. There is no burden to a mother who takes care of her child. You will also someday have children. You'll understand how Mom feels right now." My mother smiled with warmth.

"Keep how did Mr. Rudi Bu say?"

"Pak Rudi here tomorrow will see the state of our house. He will try as soon as possible. He will also find a house for us later that the place is safe. May your uncle do nothing but act today."

"Mom, do we need to think about what Zaki said about a lawyer?"

"Mother is up to you. He is evil to you son but mother does not suggest a crime avenged with evil. Most importantly you're fine now so I don't think you need to report him. I just need to talk to your grandmother."

"Good Mom. Adelia went in the room again."

"Hey, I wish you a good dream."
