Enough
Chapter 20's

I pointed to the row of plants in my small garden. "Do you see that tree over there?" Among the row of plants there is pachycereus marginatus towering higher than other plants.

Ranu glanced there and dragged his eyes up to the top of the tree.

"The tree grew on its own" I said. "Most plants need to be cared for in order to survive, but some plants are strong enough to survive just by relying on themselves."

I just want him to know that, he's strong enough to hold on, regardless of what happens in his life. Although I don't know him very well, but I know he is very tough, much stronger than me if I am in his position.

Ranu stared at the plant for a long time until he finally blinked, after which he just nodded and looked down at the grass. I thought he was sad but he was smiling.

Seeing his smile, made my heart beat ungodly.

"Me and him are similar" said Ranu, pointing to the pachycereus marginatus, then he stood up and turned towards the way home.

"Ranu, wait."

Ranu glanced down, at me. "You'd better take a shower before you go home. The compost was made from cow dung" I said. Ranu nodded in agreement.

While waiting for her to take a bath, I washed my hands in the dishwasher and stood stunned, wondering why her heart was racing when I saw Ranu smile. I also wondered when, I hid Ranu in my house, I could not help but care about Ranu in the rainy season, how he lived without blankets and jackets.

Blanket.

I rushed to find an unused blanket, but because the time had shown at 17:00, Ranu had to go home immediately. And I'll give her a blanket tomorrow.

Dear diary,

As usual after school I took Ranu to watch a quiz show at my house, he watched excitedly, while I tidied up some blankets for Ranu to take home.

But unfortunately, I had not had time to put the blanket in the bag, I heard the sound of a car and my garage door opened.

"Dance, I'll go home." Ranu ran through the back door, and I immediately put the blanket that I had folded neatly into the closet and rushed to tidy up the cans of soft drinks and snack packs in the family room.

Apparently my mother came home early, she brought a lot of groceries kitchen needs so she put her car into the garage to make it easier to enter her shopping items, she said, although we all know that the garage belongs to Dad.

I don't know why you always park inside, while your car is parked in the driveway. Shouldn't a man not let a woman he loves park in a difficult place?

"Yes mother," I said, I rushed over and petrified the mother to bring her groceries.

When I was carrying my groceries to the kitchen, I heard my father's car horn. He laxated repeatedly because he was angry to see you parked in the garage, I don't think you want to get out of the car because the rain has started to fall.

Mother looked very frightened at the sound of dad's car horn, he told me to bring all his groceries to the kitchen, while he pulled out the car.

I'm not sure what happened when my mother came out, I just heard the sound of a bump, which I thought was falling.

I can't describe in detail what happened next, I'm still very shocked and devastated by it. I opened the garage door, but I didn't see my mom, I just saw my dad in the back of the car doing something.

I approached and realized why I couldn't see my mother because it turned out that my father was pressing her into the hood of the car with two hands clutching her neck.

My father choked my bundle!!!

My father strangled my mother while yelling at her with harsh words because I felt disrespected. And my eyes were immediately fixed on the mother who was struggling to keep breathing. Without a second thought, I immediately jumped on my father's back and beat him to let him go.

After that I don't really remember what happened, which I remember, my father slapped me until I fell to the ground and my forehead hurt so much. I saw a lot of blood coming out of my forehead, and then my mother gave me a rag to hold the blood coming out of my forehead and help me get into her car.

For a moment I looked around, looking for my father. My heart ached more than my forehead, I saw my father leaving in his car.

And what left me speechless, on the way to the hospital, she said, "If the nurse or the doctor asks what happened, just say you slipped."

I could only cry, when I thought after this accident, you would leave your father, but no, you would never leave your father.

Tari's tears streamed down her cheeks, she moved her heart to reopen the next page.
