"Yyyyama..." Train yelling in frustration.
He then slammed everything in his room. He's ripping his room apart. Mr. Rudy and Ms. Lisna looked at each other.
"That's Pa. Friday again he. Mama doesn't want to take care of a stressed child like her."
"Prophe Ma. He's still a teenager, he's still unstable Ma. Mama should understand dong, his current psychiatric condition. Mama don't be too maxed out by Mama's will."
"patience.patience...Until when Pa ! already there, Papa takes care of the stressed child. Mama's going to sleep." Miss Lisna then got into her bed, and lay down on her bed without caring about Ratih's tantrums.
Train in his room crying and shouting increasingly so-so. Mr. Rudy stepped into Ratih's room. He tried to calm her down.
"Oh my God, I'm patient, son...Patience. Istighfars." Mr. Rudy held his daughter tightly. He tried to calm down Ratih's anger.
Already from childhood Ratih has a disorder. He is very sensitive to harsh words, hurtful speech, and he cannot think too hard.
It'll make his body drop. He can't control his emotions when he's angry, and he can get sick when problems start to overload his mind.
Patience Nak. Forgive Papa. Because Papa can't help you.
Papa is a useless Papa. Forgive Papa for not being able to treat you. Papa has no cost.

Sunday morning, the sunlight slipped into Ratih's room. Ratih blinked his eyes. His eyes looked swollen.
Well, all night she cried and went berserk. His room was also a mess. His pillows were scattered on the floor, his clothes in the closet he was ruffled, his makeup mirror was smashed into pieces. The room was like a broken ship.
Patih pulled out her blanket and went to the bathroom.
He grabbed a towel and headed straight for the bathroom. After finishing the bath, Ratih Pun came out of his room.
When he arrived at the living room, Ratih saw the figure of Darma who was talking to Bu Lisna in the living room. He smiled at Ratih. Ratih also replied with shame.
"See him. What kind of girl just woke up at this hour! not like other kids. Wake up early and help Mama in the kitchen." Said Bu Lisna mocking Ratih in front of Darma.
Miss Lisna is like that. If you speak slack-ceplos, and his mouth can not be kept from words that make the interlocutor hurt.
"Huh..." Ratih snorted in annoyance and walked away from them towards the kitchen.
"Here you go, her name is ABG. ABG now must be hard to set up." Darma said while smiling himself and shaking his head.
"Let's have a drink for coffee." Miss Lisna ordered Darma to drink the coffee that she had been serving.
Not long after, Mr. Rudy entered his house. He finds Darma visiting at his house.
Mr. Rudy approached. Darma who saw the arrival of Mr. Rudy, immediately stood up from his seat and kissed the back of Mr. Rudy's hand.
"Eh son Darma, let's sit down." Mr. Rudy let Darma sit back.
Darma sits. Then Rudy sat down next to Darma.
"Son Darma. What do you think of my son? do you like it? "Bu Lisna opened her voice.
Darma who was drinking coffee choked. uhuk...
"Eh, Darma boy is okay?" ask Miss Lisna worried.
"It's okay, ma'am."Darma replied as he placed his coffee back on the table.
"What do you mean by mom?" Darma doesn't understand.
"I mean, according to Nak Darma, how is my son? is Darma interested?
if so, I would be very happy, if Nak Darma was willing to be my daughter-in-law." Miss Lisna explained.
Darma was stunned to hear Bu Lisna's words.
What does this mean. So Miss Lisna told me to come here, would you mate me with her child?
"If I think, Ratih is a pretty, quiet girl, and I like a calm girl. Not most styles, like today's ABG." Said Darma later.
"Yes...! Then apply to my son." Miss Lisna said enthusiastically.
"Ma..." Mr. Rudy looked at his wife
intensely.
"Have Pa, Papa be quiet! This is Mama's business, too, Nak Darma." Pinta Bu Lisna's.
What the fuck. Is this a sane person, right? I have not even known two months already playing all.
"Oh Ma'am, isn't that all too rushed? after all, I've only known him for two months.
He's still in school too. I guess, wait for him to graduate first. At least he graduated from High School. It's good, if we get to know each other first." Said Darma.
"Well.elater Nak Darma. If Nak Darma is not ready for all that, yes. I'm gonna pick another candidate for my son." Said Miss Lisna who made Mr. Rudy and Darma surprised.
What else is this. This guy's crazy. Little childhood is ready to be in a mate. Want to know a guy. Everywhere well parents support their children successfully, newly married. It's Still Second-class High School. I'm looking for a mate, what kind of parent is he !
"Ma.." said Mr. Rudy, who again got a plot from his wife.
"Papa don't interfere! this is Mama's business!" Shouted Miss Lisna.
Mr. Rudy could only shut up. Not brave to fight his wife.
"Well, I'll think about Mom. But please give me a chance to get to know Ratih further." Darma looked towards Ratih, who was standing there staring at the three people who were talking in the middle room.
"But what's my son?" Ask Miss Lisna.
"What does Ratih want? I don't want Ratih to feel compelled." Darma said. Darma looked back at Ratih who was still standing.
"yeah. He's gonna want to. He also likes you very much Nak Darma, since the first time he met Nak Darma, Ratih has fallen in love. Didn't Ratih?" Miss Lisna said knowing.
"By the way, Nak Darma is handsome. If I were young, I wouldn't be able to refuse either. Didn't Ratih? here to sit." Ms. Lisna's orders while smiling.
Darma was amused by Miss Lisna's words. It's auntie-tante, flirtatious too yeah.
Mr. Rudy was still tight-lipped.
Shame on my wife.
Just train to be quiet. He then passed away to his room, without looking at the three people.

At school, Ratih looked gloomy. He walked towards his class with shaky steps. Rani and Yuli approach him.
"Train you why?" ask Yuli
"I'm okay." Answer Ratih lethargic.
"Tell us, who knows we can help all your problems." Added Rani.
Ratihpun finally ventured to tell his two best friends.
"Gee.in the end our best friend has a girlfriend too." Yuli said while hugging Ratih.
"Hush.boyfriend," hissed Rani.
Yuli laughed a little.
"How do you feel?" ask Rani.
"I don't know. We never talk together, except by phone and chat."
"Oh..." Rani and Yuli were bearded by the words of Ratih.
"But I think he is a handsome, caring, humorous and romantic man. And I like it.
Even though he never spoke in person. Because I'm embarrassed to talk to him." Said Ratih blushing. Face blushing.
"How old is he now?" ask Yuli to know.
"27 years. Ten years different from me. " Reply Ratih.
"Wow.he.." said Yuli chuckling.
"If you like it, what makes you moody?" ask Rani.
"Mama. He wants to persuade Mas Darma to speed up our marriage?.
I don't know what Mas Darma is saying to me? and I also still doubt my guess."
"what...!" yuli.
Rani and Yuli looked at each other.
"When do you want to get married? after graduating from school?" yuli asked curiously while frowning both of her eyebrows.
Ratih shrugged his shoulders.
"Kok that anyway. Don't you want to experience it first? Tied up life is not good. We live as we are now. No one can control us. JOMBLO ETERNAL HA..ha...." Rani laughed loosely, as her hand traced the contents of her bag. He pulled out his book.
"Eh ah ah. Don't talk about this anymore. Will be in soon." Pinta Ratih's.
The bell sounds. All students enter their classes to receive lessons.
