Loving You's
Jayden who felt empty

...“The pain when dropped by another person is not comparable to the pain when dropped by the closest person, especially from the family that we should be relying on.”...

...****************...

“Ken, tomorrow you have what schedule?” ask Aril while driving.

“Not there, Brother. At most if Sunday Niken just lying in the room or read a novel anyway,” said Niken while thinking about his activities on Sunday.

“Yaudah, tomorrow at 10 am Brother pick you up at home.”

“Where are you going, Brother?” ask Niken facing Aril who is still focused on driving.

“Hmm...to where is it? Do you know??” aril teases Niken.

“Didih, covert-secrecy. Though later spelled out also without Niken must be maksa to say,” taunting Niken that makes Aril smile.

“Tau aja you,” said Aril kalem because what Niken said is true. He often can not keep something secret if it is related to Niken. Especially if Niken has seen it with clear eyes, it is certain that he will not have the heart to not tell it.

“So Sister wants to take Niken to go where?” ask Niken enthusiastically. Naturally, it had been a very long time since he was invited by someone to go play. The last time someone invited him to go play was about 3 years ago and that person was Aril.

“Udah, don't ask much. The important thing is, tomorrow when you pick up you are ready, it is beautiful, okay?”

“OK!” nike sumringah.

“But, Sister... how are Mami's permits? If Niken asks for permission, Mami will not love.” The look on Niken's face turned sad when he remembered the most important thing he had almost forgotten.

Niken has repeatedly tried to ask permission to go outside, but her mother does not allow it. He had to go back home when he got home from school. He cannot go anywhere other than school and buy his necessities.

“Only Aunt Army never gave you permission to go play, Ken?” ask Aril.

“Ngak, Sis. Mami gave Niken permission to go out just to go to school or go to buy necessities. If you want to play out must go with Mami or Papi. So yes it is...Niken at home every day,” answered Niken without a lie. He always tried to tell Aril the truth without anything to hide. However, sometimes there are things that cannot be said honestly, right?

“That's yes...Okay, later let my brother ask permission with Aunt Army,” break up Aril.

“Yey, cool!” exclaim Niken is happy because he is sure to get permission if Aril asks. Aril just smiled.

“Eh, there were 23 missed calls from Mami!” Niken panicked. He mensilent his cellphone when going to school and forgot to revive the ringtone when he came home so he did not know if the mother called if he did not see his cellphone as it is now.

“Mampus, Mami will definitely be angry nih.” Niken quickly opened her chat room with her mom. While Aril just fell silent focused on the streets, giving room for Niken.

Mom :

23 Unanswered calls

Niken! Where are you?!!

Niken!!!

Go home now!!!

What time is it?! Don't want to go home again you??!!!!

^^^Niken :^^^

^^^Yes, Mi. This is Niken again the way home

Niken exhaled her breath a little rough. She was sure that her mother was furious at this moment.

“Tante Army said what, Ken?” ask Aril.

“Turned home, Brother.”

“Say that we're home.” Aril is still focused on driving.

“Udah Niken says, Kak.” After that, there was silence between them. Niken leaned her head against the car window, thinking about how her mother would react when she got home.

*****

“Aduh...Mami has been standing in front of the gate again,” complains Niken when he saw his mom standing with a ruffled waist when he saw Aril's car stopped.

“Let Brother say the same Aunt, Ken.”

“Not working, brother! Better Brother just go home,” reject Niken fast.

“But..”.

“Ck! Yes, Brother is back!” exclaim Niken who got out of the car and closed the door with a little dings.

“Not remember your home?” The question from the mother who greeted Niken the first time he arrived at the gate. His face looks so angry.

“Sorry, Mi. Earlier Niken had a business,” suhut Niken down.

“Reason for you! Who will take you home? Guys? What girl do you want to be?!” hardik the mami. Niken lowered her head.

Aril who saw Niken like that rushed out of the car. His intention to go home he broke.

“Tante!” exclaiming Aril approaching.

“Sorry, Tan. It's one of Aril's late for Niken. If Auntie wants to be angry, get angry at Aril,” said Aril quickly, do not forget he greeted mami Niken.

The Army was a little surprised. “Eh, Aril! How can you be here?” exclaimed the Army Bu who immediately changed the look of his face to be happy.

“Aduh, you are already big it turns out.” The Army immediately hugged Aril.

“Tante kangen is very much with you. Why don't you tell me if you're back here? How are you doing?” tanyanya excited and let go of her embrace.

“O-oh, Alhamdulillah Aril well, Tan,” said Aril who suddenly felt awkward.

“Nevent gone, Tan. Aril just want to take Niken aja kok,” reject Aril. He saw Niken still down.

“So..anu, Tan. Don't be mad at Niken anymore because he's not wrong. Aril who invited Niken to the house, but he was rejected,” explained Aril.

“You're calm, Ril! If you are the same, Auntie can not be angry dong. Just next time you say, let Auntie not worry about kayaking earlier,” said Bu Army quickly.

Brakk!!!

Without warning, Niken went straight into the house and slammed the door hard until his voice echoed. Aril and the Army Mom were shocked and reflexed to see the innocent door.

The Army's smiling awkwardly. “Oh, yaudah, you don't have to think about it. The important thing is that you delivered Niken safely. Oh, how's your mom doing?” The Army immediately changed the topic.

“What? Oh, Mama is also good, Tan,” said Aril who was confused by Niken's actions.

“Ah, thank goodness. Send greetings to your Mama yes.”

“Hah? Oh, yes, Tan,” said the unfocused Aril. He tried to see Niken who was already in his room.

“It...Not pa-pa, Tan?” ask Aril to worry.

“Oh, you are calm. Niken is a habit of kayaking. He's the one who's wrong even he's angry.” The Army laughed nervously.

“Oh, okay..” said Aril who felt a little doubt.

“Just Aril is really sorry, Tan. Aril so bad, because Aril's wrong even Niken who got angry.” Aril apologized again.

“Udah! Aunty said, You are calm. Aunty's just worried because Niken didn't give any news. Moreover, it's been a very late night and He has never been kayak gini,” said Bu Army who patted Aril's shoulder slowly.

“It was also Aril's fault, Tan. Niken told me to tell Auntie, but Aril stopped. Aril said he wanted to ask for permission directly with Auntie, but even forgetfulness. Hp Niken was also in silent, so did not hear a call from Auntie,” explained Aril defending Niken.

“Iya, Aunt understands.”

“Hmm... If so Aril returns home, Tan?” asked Aril doubtfully.

“Oh, you want to go home! I can, can. Be careful on the road and do not forget to send greetings to your Mama.”

“Iya, Tan. If so Aril said yes.” Aril went back to the Army.

“Iya. Next time you come here, stop by first. Long time not here, but it came straight home.”

“Insyaallah, Tan,” says Aril smiled thinly.

“Aril home, Tan. Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumussalam.”

Aril starts the engine and starts running it. The Army's mom waved her hand until Aril's car was nowhere to be seen. He turned his face back to anger.

“NIKEN!!!” the cry shouted, calling out to Niken who was crying inside her room.

Duk! Duk! Duk!

“NIKEN!!! EXIT YOU!!” exclaims the Army Bu while banging on the locked door of Niken's room.

“NIKEN!!”

Niken did not answer. He continued to sob while burrowing his face into the pillow. He did not care about the sound of his screaming mother and the door that kept being pounded.

“NIKEN!! GET OUT OF YOU NOW!” exclaims the mad Army Bu. Niken is getting sobbing.

DUK! DUK! DUK!

“NIKEN!!! CK! KIDS DON'T KNOW THEMSELVES!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE ACTING LIKE IN FRONT OF ARIL, HUH? WANT TO EMBARRASS MOM? ANSWER!!”

DUK! DUK! DUK!

“NIKEN!!! AARGHH!! WHATEVER YOU!! ONCE AGAIN YOU ARE READY TO KAYAK SO, BE READY!!” said the Army's upset. He went from the front of Niken's room and went to his room.

“Hiks...hiks..” Niken kept crying. In fact, his school bag was thrown in every direction.

Niken sitting. He tried to wipe away his tears, but his mouth did not stop poking.

“Ma-Mami really different. Ma-tama Sis Aril is very good. Be-different sam Niken,” he said faltering. He continued to wipe away her flowing tears.

“Lu-wound last night is not comparable to moderate heart injury Niken rasain.” He held his moist arm as a result of the actions of the Mami. His memory drifted back to last night's events.

“Niken! Why is there no food at the table?! Why aren't you ready for dinner yet?!!” hardik Mami wrathful.

Niken lowered her head, not daring to look into the eyes of the mother. It was after school that Niken fell asleep due to fatigue. When he woke up, the sky was already dark. She forgot her mom's message this morning telling her to prepare dinner because her papa will be home soon tonight.

Niken got up and washed his face. Unheard of his head that felt dizzy from waking up suddenly. He rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner. However, her mammoth car was heard entering the garage when she was holding a frying pan for cooking. And finally, this is how it happened.

“If those nanya are answered!!”

“Ma-sorry, Mi. Niken was asleep,” sahut Niken plan.

“Alah, reason only you!”

After that only the sound of items being thrown. There was even a groaning sound coming out of Niken's mouth. That was the origin of the bruises on his hands and body. He tried to resist the throwing of goods from the mother which resulted in his arm pain and bruised.

“Hiks..” Niken returned unable to hold his stuff. She kept crying on her favorite pillow.

After a while, Niken finally fell asleep. He did not even pay attention to his eyes that were already very swollen due to crying too much. His strength was already pretty much drained and he needed a rest now.
