Days passed and Iskandar was still with his cold and flat attitude. His resentment towards the younger brother grew even though Cut and Rendra had tried to explain. The time that Cut spent for his second child was indeed quite a lot beyond the time for him with Iskandar. Iskandar's hatred grew because of his grandparents.
Ever since Anugrah was born, Mother Yetti was kind to them. Not infrequently Mother Yetti prefers to be with Anugrah who is still a baby rather than talking to Iskandar who can already respond to it. Time with his father on the weekend has also been monopolized by his sister. Even if they left, Iskandar still did not get a place next to the papa.
The day changed and Iskandar's behavior changed. Rendra could hardly master his emotions if he did not hear the wife's gentle calling. How not emotional if in a month already three times he was called to school because Iskandar fighting. Although the reason Iskandar fought only to help his friend but every time Iskandar retaliated against them. It was as if he was emitting out his pent-up anger.
Rendra had already come into force for his first son and of course increasingly made Iskandar more confused. After reaching home, Iskandar saw his brother who had started walking was playing around until accidentally stepped on the car and made his sister fall behind. Cut who was making milk immediately ran when he heard Anugrah crying loudly. While Iskandar only looked on without any intention of helping. He saw how his mother took Anugrah and calmed her down.
Cut looked intently at his son who was still standing looking at him. “You're happy if your sister gets hurt? Good, do it like that forever.” Cut said while holding back the emotions in his chest.
Iskandar is already big, he is 10 years old while Anugrah is already three years old. As a mother, Cut is quite a hassle even though there are those who help with household chores. Her emotions as a woman sometimes go up and down like now. Emotions in him are actually shown to Iskandar to make Iskandar's hatred of the younger brother increasingly become. Cut was not angry like the habits of the mother of his other friends but the sharp gaze that Cut gave was enough to make Iskandar upset and angry.
After putting the bag down, he immediately picked up the bike and left the house. While Cut could only sigh as he continued to calm the Anugrah. Rendra came home in the afternoon and found his wife's sour face.
“What's up?” tanyanya gently.
Cut told the incident this afternoon to her husband. “We can't let it go anymore. Mama's afraid she's getting to be, Pa.”
“Let Papa talk to him later.”
Iskandar got home after ashar. He just walked in after kissing her hand. “Have eaten?” ask Rendra.
“But.”
Iskandar entered immediately after answering his papa question. He took a shower and changed his clothes. Cut out while holding Anugrah who has bathed and perfumed. The three sat on the porch of the house while joking.
“Sister, here sit with Mama!” take Cut when you see the son who just finished bathing.
“Is to eat.”
He went to the dining table. While Cut and Rendra could only sigh.
The arrival of Omnya at night made Iskandar a little happy. Riko takes Iskandar out. For a long time he did not invite Iskandar out because he was busy taking care of his business. While tonight he has to come because there is a special mission.
Yes, Rendra asked Riko for help to talk to Iskandar. All this time Rendra has tried but Iskandar like shutting himself off from Rendra. He was very frustrated thinking about Iskandar's change in attitude towards him. The change that Rendra thought was only for a moment because of jealousy towards the sister but gradually became worse.
“What's Om taking out?”
“A long time ago we did not go together. Don't be angry with Om. You know all this time Om always got angry with grandma because it is considered to pollute your brain until you are considered naughty.”
“Why can parents only blame others without blaming themselves? Do they feel they have nothing wrong to blame others?”
Riko stared fixedly at his bangs. It turns out that the child he often brought had changed. His behavior and thinking were different. Much different from his age.
“What's really going on? Do you also not consider Om as your friend?”
Iskandar stared at the manic stick that was no longer young. “Because all parents sucks. Only one parent I think is good.”
“Who?” ask Riko curiously.
“Mother Adit.”
“Mother Adit??”
“Don't be so later Mama you are sad to hear her son prefers his friend's mother than his own mother. If you are in the position of Mama surely you will be sad too compared to others?”
Iskandar no longer answered Riko's words. He was lazy to talk to old people who always considered themselves right. Riko's efforts were not successful, Rendra could only sigh heavily when he saw Riko's face pias.
Rendra had spoken to Iskandar long ago but the boy remained unchanged. The bond makes Rendra can not every day at home. After returning home from school, Iskandar immediately changed clothes and went to the dining table. At that time, his sister was playing not far away from him. Cut himself was tidying up the kitchen after finishing cooking and-
The crying of the Ancestor broke again. Cut immediately ran from the kitchen and saw his second son crying loudly with his lips broken out of blood. Iskandar casually enjoyed without regard to the slightest trace of his mother's immortality. Cut brought Anugrah to the room to calm her down while Iskandar immediately left after finishing his lunch.
Anugrah fell asleep after exhaustion from crying. Cut out the room and it turns out Iskandar is no more. Iskandar spends his time with friends in the park. The sound of Anugrah's cry was like lightning for him. Iskandar's hatred even more especially if he remembers events that have happened recently. Anugrah once hit her head with a pencil case and it hurt a lot. But Mama and her Papa just said that Anugrah was still a child and did not understand anything. And when Anugrah was this wretched, he was the first to laugh inwardly.
“You don't pity your sister, Is?” ask Adit lugu.
“Alahhhh, occasionally let him know how it hurts. Isn't that right, Is?” Iskandar nodded while smiling slightly.
“I often secretly snap my sister's head then I run outside let Mama not scold me.” Woe to Iskandar's other friend.
They spend time in the complex park with various complaints. Since the incident Iskandar was dragged by a motorcycle, they never again race bikes on the road. Sometimes, they just follow a race run together to eliminate boredom.
The day began and they agreed to go home. Arriving at home, Iskandar saw a car parked in front and he immediately knew if it was his grandmother and grandfather.
“Assalamualaikum,” said Iskandar and kissed his grandparents' hands.
“Walaikumsalam. Is, you just got home at this hour? Sometimes you help your Mama keep Anugrah at home do not go to play.” Said the grandmother but was not ignored by Iskandar.
“Why isn't Grandma the one guarding? Granny's granddaughter.”
Degs...
“Iskandar!”
“Dragon your attitude when talking to parents!” cut sound rising. He did not expect that his son would behave like that to his in-laws.
“Mistake again. I'm always wrong and Mama is always right.”
Iskandar slammed the door of his room hard to make Anugrah surprised and immediately cried.
Yetti's mother calms her grandson down again while Cut immediately makes milk so that the Anugrah calms down. Every now and then, he tried to inhale a lot of oxygen to calm his heart and mind. Rendra went home and looked at every face, especially the wife who looked disappointed and sad. Cut took the Anugrah and took it to his room. Mother Yetti looked at her son and took him to sit in front of the house.
“Whatever you are, the blood in Iskandar's body will not change. He will imitate his father until adulthood.”
Rendra became more confused and chose to sit quietly to hear all the stories of his mother about Iskandar's behavior. To be honest he did know how Iskandar behaved to Anugrah but Rendra also could not do anything because he thought about his wife's feelings.
“You cannot forever tolerate Iskandar's attitude. He is very old and can be taught responsibility. How you've been educating him all this time. Just look now, he even dared to slam the door until it made Anugrah surprised to cry hysterically. You as the head of the household should be able to take a stance.”
“Enter him into the dormitory, so that he is self-sufficient and learns to be responsible!”
