Girl On Garden Bench
1. Her name is Dana
His name is Danadyaksa, born by male decree 16 years ago. The second child, but not the middle child because it does not have a sister. Dana has no financial difficulties, even being filled with the affection of her parents and older brother. It's just that Dana lives in a Small Town, very small in fact. So little, everyone knows who Dana is. “Where is the smart kid?”, “Why is the handsome, high is blaster?”, “Romantic funds?”,”Where is the motor boy?”,”Where is playing guitar?”, “His ex-dana is A, B, C to Z?”. Yup, Dana is not known by her parents name. Makes him sick of this small town.
Until the end of the last trimester of Junior High, Dana asked her parents to move. Of course Dana is not allowed. Dana's the only kid in the house right now. His brother worked in Kota Besar as the vice principal of a renowned High School there. So that his parents feel lonely if Dana left.
“Dad, if I rank one UN level city, I'm SMA in town sister, may, Yah?” ask Dana.
“Easy for you to get that rating, no exclamation dong.” Answer Dana's Dad.
“Then how can I persuade Dad, so I can stay with brother?” ask Dana back.
“What do you mean stay with me? Don't have much to do, you're still a kid. I'm too busy to take care of you.” Said Afsheen, Dana's sister.
Dana's sister is the only woman in town. At the age of 4 years, he enrolled himself to enter SD, because often laughed at as a child by neighborhood children who had entered SD first. Graduating from elementary school at the age of 10, Afsheen enrolled herself in a prestigious Junior High School in the Big City, fed up with the lessons in her city. Graduated from college at the age of 19, making Afsheen the youngest teacher in the school where he teaches now. He has served for two years as vice principal and co-founded the mathematics Olympiad. Many ask, why the reckless child, who dared to live in the big city alone at a very young age, choose a profession as a teacher. Not the professor or the company leader.
“Just say, brother is busy rapping about spending Dad's money. Dating back and forth.” Dana Ledek. “Dad, I'll take care of brother there. Make sure you eat on time, take care of your health, and keep it away from the wild men in town. I beg Father.” Pinta Dana's.
“Dana, you don't love your mother anymore. I'll be lonely if you leave. You know, how stressful mom was when your sister was desperate to travel for 8 hours to the city alone. Losing time with your sister for 10 years is enough for me. Please don't make Mom lose time with you too.” Pinta Dana's.
“Bu, I'm still alive, again eating Mother Lo's cooking, I'm here. How can you say I'm dead?” answer Afsheen.
Dana's mother is a person who can't be left alone, she's also a person who can't leave others behind. Unlike Dana's free-spirited father. But since meeting with Mother Dana, Dana's father has always been with Mother, never leaving her alone to accompany Mother Dana in the guarantee as Husband. It was the nature of Dan's father that declined to Afsheen and Dana. However, Dana is not as strict as Afsheen. The last thing Dana ever did was to go to the mountain without her parents' permission, because she knew she wouldn't be allowed, given her age of 14.
“Oke Dad allow!”
“AYAH!!” hendik Afsheen and Mother together.
“Truly Dad?” ask Dana.
“Beneficial, but those terms have their terms.”
“Kok, like school rules, use terms?” dana Confused.
“OK, if you don't want yaudah, there is no harm to Daddy.” Reply Dad.
“Eh, Dad. Don't get dong, like I'm often mambeckan.”
“OK, the condition is that you must get at least the top five during the High School entrance test exam where your sister works. And from today until the day you wait, your night time becomes 6 pm, every day to school always I take you, home school your mother who picked up. Not motor anymore. Eat 3 times a day at home with your mother.” Say Father
Dana accepted her father's request. He didn't want to argue, afraid that his father would change his mind. Dana returned to her room leaving both her parents and her brother.
“Daddy, why do you agree with Dana?” ask Afsheen.
“Dad, Daddy could see Mom alone at home?” say Mother.
“Mother, Mother will not be alone, there is Father. It is precisely the time both of us become more as well. And also Afsheen, from childhood until now you have never been watched. Even your sister never felt what it was like to have a sister. It's enough time for you to be alone from the family.”
“Daddy, I'm almost 25 years old. I was at an age where I could have a family of my own. No adult woman supervised her younger brother who was not even 15 years old.” Afsheen.
“You are right, but no 10-year-old has enrolled himself in a school 8 hours away from his home. It has become a part of you. Let's just say this is the way you love your only sister.”
