DAMNED GIRL
26. STILL TRAUMATIZED

After saying goodbye, Mr. Yanto finally hugged us to return to his home

But before we actually went home to Mr. Yanto.

Mother suggested to stop first when right in the yard of Grandma's house.

"Stop at Grandma's house first" she said, patting her husband's shoulder

Pak Yanto's motorbike quickly stopped right in front of Grandma's house.

"Look down Dhira" asked Mother

I finally got off without much question

"Well, you just wait here, because I won't be long. I want to grab Dhira's belongings first to bring home" he said

Pak Yanto nodded in understanding

then Mom and I went inside

"Look, now pack your things. I also want to take my grandmother's valuables. I just want to secure it. I'm afraid you'll steal it" he said

I nodded in understanding.

I finally packed up my clothes which were not really much and when I pulled the clothes from the closet, I found my dark brown wallet. Grandma bought it for me. When I saw the wallet I thought back to Grandma's face as if she was still here with me. I slowly opened the wallet and checked the card slop. Apparently the photo that I consider my real father is still there and has not been damaged.

I also grabbed the piggy bank that Grandma bought, I remember she used to tell me to skimp and keep saving. And now the piggy bank is full

Finally I realized that I had been packing too long, then I speeded up again so that later Mom would not wait for me long.

But when I finished packing, Mom was still in Grandma's room, she was busy collecting Grandma's money in her closet.

Mom also realized I was done

"So soon, I'll take it all. Tomorrow too I will be here again to take the television and others that can be carried on a motorbike. The rest I want to sell at once with his house" he said

Hearing the word about to sell this house my heart somewhat disagree, but I can't do anything. Only Mom understands.

After a few minutes of waiting for her, Mom finally came out with a big plastic bag that I did not know what it contained.

"Let's go home" he asked, taking a quick step

Without answering it I finally followed his steps from behind

Then we sat back on Pak Yanto's bike and took us away from the house full of memories.

Along the new journey for the first time I crossed a highway full of vehicles, street lights, houses along the road that were still crowded with people passing by

This is my first time crossing the city.

And I feel very happy

At this time the night wind was very cold, even though I was sitting beside my parents I was still cold.

A few hours on the way through the city, finally Pak Yanto entered the road to one village. But the village was not so far from the city.

Finally we arrived in front of the house with whitewashed walls without a fence in the yard.

After I noticed almost all the houses here, the building was a wall but there was no fence or gate.

Pak Yanto motorbike directly docked near the terrace of his house. He parked his bike outside the house

"Come down" take Mom to me

This village already looks quiet maybe because there are hours when everyone sleeps.

Mr. Yanto invited me in while opening the door "Look in"

Krekks!

But Mom just walked in without taking me.

When I entered the view looks neat and clean, the contents of the house are better than Grandma's house, the guest chair is also made of foam that is still good, the house is still good, the wall paint is pure white and the light is very bright.

I was still standing looking in all directions, I was like a new person who was still awkward. They are my parents.

Mom went straight into her room with the package she had looted just now.

But Mr. Yanto took me to his son's room

"You slept with Liana. You are brothers so you have to get along" he said

I just nodded and followed Mr. Yanto.

Tok..tok.tok !

"Lian ?" dial him

But the door hasn't been opened yet

"Lian ?" call him again

Tok..tok.tok !

Knock it again but Liana hasn't opened it yet.

Because so curious why the door has not been opened, finally Pak Yanto even harder to knock on it

Tok..button.tok..!

Finally, not long after Liana opened the door, her face still held back sleepiness as if very disturbed by Pak Yanto's attitude.

Then Liana complained to her father "What the hell, Dad?" heckled

Mr. Yanto introduced me

"This is your stepbrother coming, your mother's son. Let him sleep in this room" he said

Liana turned to me with heavy eyes that continued to endure the drowsiness of "Enter !" just take him with you.

Without him not wanting to talk much to his father, the door closed. Mr. Yanto is still standing at the door.

I still stand while still carrying my package, I am still reluctant to go up to the mattress.

But Liana did not say a word to ask me to sleep with her. He went straight to sleep and quickly fell asleep

Because I'm not happy to get into bed either. Finally I decided to sleep under only a plastic bag that I brought, do not use blankets and decorated with very cold ceramic tiles.

To the point that I also shivered in the cold.

Until the morning before I woke up because Liana tripped my body

"Luck !" heckled

Seeing him he stumbled as soon as I got more awkward and guilty

And finally he got angry with me

"why are you sleeping there ?" unluckiness

"I fell asleep" I answered

"Where is sleeping under the bed so!" emphatically

"Yes I'm tired of falling asleep" I said

"If you want to sleep downstairs, don't sleep over there because that's where my feet go down. You understand that ?" ketch

Apparently the excitement I made was heard outside the room to the point that Mother and Mr. Yanto came so curious

Mr. Yanto who first "You guys why the hell, this morning even quarreled ?" tannya

"I'm not perched, Dad. But this child sleeps carelessly even sleeps down right if my feet want to go down so I stumble because of fear of stepping on" he explained

Because Liana complained like that I became even more afraid of being scolded

But wisely Mr. Yanto broke up "It's like it doesn't need to be debated. You can just say that tomorrow is not so again" he said

But apparently Liana was not satisfied with his father's words, she instead rushed away from the room.

Mr. Yanto who felt unheard so upset also "Where do you want Lian to go ?" tannya

"Mandi" Liana replied quickly

Mother who also stood beside Mr. Yanto was more defending Liana "Have it been, Dad. It's wrong to sleep there. Thankfully, Liana was okay. How much will he get hurt ?" mother said

But Mr. Yanto just kept quiet and left without saying goodbye. It seems like this morning she was upset by her son's attitude

"Where are you going ?" ask Mom to her

Mr. Yanto said while going out "not every morning I work "

Mom just kept quiet and left me
