Colorless Rainbow
Waiting at the End of the Morning
By dawn Eric had not been able to fall asleep at all, while the guard at home as part of it had fallen asleep and some were still playing cards to avoid sleepiness. Indeed, Mr. RT immediately divided the residents to keep watch in this neighborhood, after there was an incident of Elin missing, he said, and what makes Eric actually feel at home in this neighborhood is his citizens who care about him and Elin even though they have not even lived in this complex for one month, but Eric is already known by the residents, even some residents, especially mothers there who deliberately make food to be distributed to the fathers who help find Elin, and also a joint venture of money to buy coffee and so forth. So Eric is actually comfortable in this environment, but he promises that if Elin is found he wants to go back to his hometown alone, the life of his baby is more important. He wants to keep God's care as well as possible.
Eric's gaze was fixed on the end of the alley, which was dark. The shadow of Elin ran away and approached her to comfort her behind the sadness that controlled her mind. Somehow back the middle-aged man walked to the end of the alley to make sure his son was there or not.
Crazy one! Maybe it would have happened to Eric if Elin hadn't been brought back to him. I don't know what the purpose of his life is if the encouragement in his life is not there. There throughout his life he will be shrouded in guilt for being a useless parent, a parent who failed to take care of his child. Elin's cry as a baby, as if back in her memory, the cry when there was a careless theme, and the whimper asking for the toy to re-emerge in her brain.
"Are you also currently crying baby, why papah feels this tight chest. Are you there calling papah and hoping papah as your helper. Papah please no matter what happens to you, please survive do not make papah crazy without any papah princess coloring papah life. You are a rainbow for papah not to let the rainbow dim without color. Stay a rainbow that can color your life dear papah. Waiting for you in this house, Papah will wait for you to come home. Hang on for Papah well baby." Eric's gaze continued to be fixed on the mouth of the alley that he might hope would become a reality where Elin appeared with her trademark smile that was able to eliminate her fatigue.
The man remembered Elin's carefree chatter two days before she went missing. that he wanted to use the first salary money to buy papahny frizer that could save more campfires and also more ingredients so that Eric could store the ingredients better and not stacking each other in that little fridge. Eric just smiled proudly to see his happy daughter imagining her first salary. But his daughter's little dream must be lost, along with Elin's disappearance.
"Sir, yesterday he said he wanted to buy papah frozen with your salary prtama, this has not been the salary nduk, but why do you stay in papah, papah it's okay there is no tool but you go home, but, nothing you have no salary, but you are quite papah. Papah can feed you without you having a hard time finding work. You go home so that papah is looking for money," said Eric, every last chatter Elin became a memory. Usually when on the road to work Elin will tell a lot of anything, the boy was happy to tell stories with his papa, so when there was no daughter Eric lived very empty and lonely.
Azan Fajr said, Eric rushed to the mosque maybe this is the right time for him to complain about the bad luck that happened to him. Talking to the Creator was Eric's choice. There was nothing he could do but ask for help with God, perhaps God would have mercy giving him the opportunity to take care of his creature whom God entrusted to him.
Too short he was only given time to keep his baby until the age of twenty-eight. For Eric, Elin will remain an adorable little boy she never distinguished her affection from a young child until now an adult.
"Pa Eric, how are there any news yet from Elin?" ask Mr. Ustadz who happened to be last night did not help looking for his daughter, because he was studying outside the city and just came home by morning too. But because the info of Elin's disappearance has spread so that Mr. Ustadz also knows what happened to the daughter of Eric.
"Not Mr. Ustadz, no one managed to find the info Elin went where, but the initial suspicion is the kidnapping of Mr. Uztadz, pray that Elin quickly found, sir, pity that he is being hardened somehow his current fate" Eric said in a heavy, quivering voice.
"Surely sir, I must pray and again Elin's a good and cheerful child. So many are sad and lost with your daughter. What's Mr Eric's plan going forward?" asked Mr. Ustadz because today there is no activity so want to help also find Elin, maybe with him help will open one more personnel, so more and more to search.
"I will report to the police sir, but I have to wait one time twenty-four hours so I can only report around nine or ten nights. Either my daughter can still survive not until that hour," said Eric. His often-sick heart made him believe that his daughter could be treated inhumanely.
"As long as the police haven't acted, let's find the courtesy of Mr. Eric alone, who knows with us looking for ourselves we'll find Elin," said Mr. Ustadz actually gave spirit to Eric so as not to give up. Although people know that being in the position of Eric is very difficult to live it.
"Thank you very much Mr. Ustadz, fortunately I get the sustenance of a very good neighbor. Though I think while in the village and moved here did not hurt the feelings of others. I always try to keep the feelings of others so that I can live with good neighbors, but it turns out there are still those who dare to take my daughter Mr. Ustadz." Eric spilled his grief on Mr. Ustadz who might have made his heart calm.
Even after the dawn prayer Eric used to listen to the advice of Mr. Ustadz who might after he got a spiritual flush from pak ustadz he could be sincere and try to calm down with everything and stay find out where Elin is.
Stomach pain and fatigue Eric aside now the sun has begun to greet the inhabitants of the earth so that Eric will eagerly return to find his biological daughter. That maybe this afternoon Elin will meet, and they will live together again.
