Kadarsih (Lintric Pity Pellet )
Episode 25: The Sound of Footsteps

The rose found its way out of the forest. Not wanting to stay longer in the forest, he immediately left on his motorbike.

Along the way he was speeding. He wants to get home fast. And lock the door tight.

Roses launched their bikes at high speed splitting the desolate and pitch-black streets. He doesn't care about the surrounding. He just wanted to get home quickly.

Arriving home, Rose immediately put his motorbike in. And locked the door of his house. The rose goes into the blanket, and hides there.

Gts ... Gts ... Tok

The front door was knocked very hard. The rose was terrified, she was still hiding behind the blanket.

"Who is that?" fear of Roses.

Gts ... Gts ... Tok

The knocking sounded back. Roses are too afraid to open. He prefers to curl up under the blanket.

The sound of knocking was no longer heard, changing with the sound of footsteps being dragged. It seemed like the sound of the footsteps, walking around the house. The rose ensures all doors are locked tightly. Then he went back to the room. However, she went into her children's room. Lock the room tightly.

The rose sat on the bed of the children, she was awake because of overwhelming fear. Until 3 am, then he can close his eyes even for a moment.

Rose had four children from a previous marriage. Her first husband is dead. And left 3 grocery stores for the wife of his children.

Five years of widowhood is not an easy thing for him. Moreover, left the husband with four children who are still small. Not only his son who needs a father figure, he also needs a man who can be a backup of life and friends when difficult and sad.

Not just a life support. Roses also need a man who can warm his body at night. Five years widowed, his biological needs are not channeled. He had to play with his own hands.

Wiranto came as a shop employee from the village. Meeting them every day, makes the Rose fall in love. They also have an affair, which is unknown to their employees.

Over time the relationship until the public kissed. Moreover, many people who often see Wiranto out of the widow's house with four children, became the fruit of warm lips talked about.

The slanted gossip that was being warmly discussed reached the ears of the Rose. Mawar asks Wiranto to marry her. Be them husband and wife until now.

The rose opened its eyes when the smallest of the children named Andre shook his body to wake up.

"Mother, Wake! Andre's hungry, he's having breakfast!" abugn. The boy continued to shake his body to wake up.

"What time is it?" ask Roses.

"Hour 6, ma'am," said Rini, the first child.

"Hour 6," astonished the Roses. The rose came out of his bed. He rushed to the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth. After washing his face, he rushed to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Veal-eye eggs and sausage fried rice are served at the dinner table for breakfast. The four children had breakfast very well. They also wear school uniforms.

"Let's eat!" mawar.

"Ashik" said Andre and Amin. Amen is the second child of the rose.

"You guys are so smart. It's been bathing and tidy, "praise the rose.

"So you slept in our room?" ask Rini.

Suddenly, Rose remembered the incident last night. He moved from his seat. Opening the door to his room, wanting to make sure of something.

"Mas Wiranto?" Rose was very surprised to find her husband sleeping on his bed. Cold sweat is pouring.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Rini. Her first child was astonished, as the mother stood in the doorway looking at her fast-asleep stepfather with a frightened face.

"Mom!" call Rini. Making the Rose reverie.

"Eh, there's nothing" he replied. Slowly the rose closed the door of her room.

"When's Dad coming home?" ask the Rose to Rini.

"Rini doesn't know, Mom," replied Rini, "Where are you going?" Tini asked back.

Weirdo? That's what's now raging in the Rose's mind. Obviously, all the doors he's locked. Where her husband came from. He returned to the dining table to enjoy the fried rice.

"Who opens the door when Dad gets home?" ask the rose to her children.

"Andre no, ma'am," said Andre.

"Amin is not, either" he said.

"It's not, Mom, either" she said.

"Then who?" inner Rose.

"What the hell is it, Mom?" ask Rini curiously.

"It's okay. Yes there is nothing. Don't you worry!" said the stammering rose.

"Rini can't know. If he had known, he would have been terrified, "inner Rose.

"Mom, we go to school first!" pay them all off after getting pocket money.

"Alright, be careful, honey. Remember, go straight home!" rose.

"Okay, ma'am," they answered simultaneously. They also went to school. Their school is not too far away. By walking for about 10 minutes, they reached school.

The rose wanted to go inside, but she was afraid of meeting her husband. Especially considering last night's events. Finally, he decided to go straight to the grocery store and take a shower there.
