The wheel has turned

“This is your home?” mahendra asked when he arrived at the gate of Niken's house.

“Iya, Brother,” replied Niken who already understands the situation.

“Kok seems really quiet?”

“Because there is no one at home yet, Brother,” replied Niken.

“Your parents work?” asked Mahendra who was taken by Niken as an answer.

“So, now you are alone?” ask Mahendra again.

“Iya, Brother. If Mami usually just go home, while Papi is a bit maleman go home,” explained Niken.

“Ooooo, yaudah get in there, it's almost maghrib too,” tell Mahendra.

“Iya, Brother. Thank you so much for coming home. Sorry also for being pregnant sister,” said Niken.

“Udah, relax. My home is also the same direction as your home.”

“Then I come in, brother? Once again thanks for the ride,” said Niken again thank you. However, just now Niken wanted to get out of the car, again Mahendra again held back Niken's arm.

“What else is it, Brother?” ask Niken again astonished. Niken to think that Mahendra has a habit of holding people's arms suddenly.

“Outside it is still raining, you use my umbrella first,” Mahendra said as he took the umbrella located in the back seat and gave it to Niken.

“No need, Brother. Do you think you should wear an umbrella? Run for a while also directly nyampe,” replied Niken refused the offer.

“Udah, don't be stubborn! Do not need to be complicated, just take and use, simple.” Mahendra gave his black umbrella to Niken.

“But, Brother..”

“Udah, take aja. Tomorrow you still have orientation and punishment to do. So, if you get sick tomorrow how would you like to do all that?” Mahendra finally pulled Niken's hand and gave her umbrella with a little force.

“Udah, don't think much. Now you wear it, tomorrow morning back at school,” continued Mahendra did not give the opportunity to Niken again refused.

“Oh, Brother. If so I borrow first the umbrella,” said Niken is not happy.

“Iya. Yaudah there go in,” tell Mahendra.

“Iya, Brother. Thank you very much again,” said Niken Back to thank when he got out of the car.

“Iya, relax. Then I'll go home?” pamit Mahendra while starting his car engine.

“Iya, Brother. Be careful on the road,” said Niken. After that, Mahendra went home and Niken entered his house when he did not see Mahendra's car.

“Assalamualaikum,” greetings Niken when entering into the house.

“Waalaikumussalam,” replied someone who made Niken shocked. The man stood close to the entrance with his hands closed.

“Eh, Mami. when to go home from work, Mi?” asked Niken who was aware of his shock. Tumben once an hour this time his mama is already at home. Usually the mother just returned home finished maghrib.

“Where are you from?” ask mom. Instead of answering Niken's questions, her mom asked her questions as well.

“New home from school, Mi.” Niken answered a little hesitating because he saw the face of his mother who now looks angry. Niken put his shoes that had been removed on the shoe rack near the door.

“Back school, home school! Keep lying to me!” snapped his mama which made Niken back shocked.

“That's right, don't lie to you anymore!! I was clear earlier Mami saw you go home the same guy!” snatch her mom again.

“That's Niken's upperclassman, Mi. We met on the road, because it was raining so his brother offered a ride,” said Niken was still trying to defend himself.

“Reason for you! Just tell me you're the same guy!” mama's allegations.

“Yes Allah, Mi! Niken speaking the truth, Niken did not lie!” said Niken, who began to raise his octave of voice, did not accept the unfounded accusations of the mother. Niken's eyes have also begun to glaze over.

“Alah! Keep giving me reasons! Why would you if you are just as insignificant as a guy!”

“Mami! Why does Mami always accuse Niken of doing something that Niken does not do at all? I'm Niken said that it was Niken's upperclassman at school.” Niken is now talking with tears that have flowed, can not stand the accusations given by her mother.

Always like this, her mother often accused her of doing things she never did, in fact, baseless accusations. Her mother also likes to draw conclusions from what she believes without wanting to know the truth.

“If he's your upperclassman why would you give me a ride home? Though you guys must have just met this morning right?” Her mother was still firm with her opinion.

“Because his older brother is looking at Niken coming home on foot, Mi. Especially outside again rain,” said Niken back to defend himself.

“You are saying continue!”

”Niken is not arguing with Mami. Niken is only clear on the truth so that Mami is not always prejudiced to Niken.” Niken's tears don't stop flowing. He kept trying to wipe away his tears.

“Kan actually like that! You are if there is already a guy really small.”

“Yes Allah, Mi! When does Niken fall apart with guys? While Niken has always been at home since Mami same Papi did not permit Niken out. Because of that Niken even got no temen.” Niken finally let out his heart that he had been so long pendam.

“Now Niken has SMA, Mi. Niken also wants to have a theme so that they can play together, nugas together, and stories together. If not now, when will Niken kayak anti-social children continue, Mi?” Niken took a deep breath. Her tears continued to flow without a sound.

“Niken kepengen normal life like another child, Mi. Niken tired of being restrained, forced to do things that Niken does not like. Niken also kepengen at times ngelakuin the thing that Niken wants. Is not enough restraint that Mami same Papi love to Niken all this time?”

“What's not enough, Mi?!” ask Niken again. Finally his defense collapsed, sobs began to sound from his lips.

“Niken tired, Mi. Niken tired! Niken's a human, Mi, not a doll. Niken also wanted to do something freely without having to be regulated every movement,”, said Niken in his tears.

He was sitting on the floor, unable to stand. His strength had already been used up to bring out all the emotions he had been harboring all this time. While her mom is now just speechless to see her state that looks sliced.

“Udah finished you talk?” ask her mother when she's been quiet for a while.

“Udah ready to talk?!!” ask her mother again, now in a voice raised by an octave.

“U-already, Mi,” replied Niken who had been as excited.

“You said we're keeping you? Make you feel like a puppet? If you don't like it, don't stay in this house, it's simple. You go there, find your own place to live!”

After making this up, her mother left Niken and went into her room. While Niken is now increasingly sobbing due to the words of the mother. His heart was so hurt hearing those words.

“Hiks, hiks.” Niken kept sobbing.

After a while, his cries began to subside. Niken finally chose to go into her room. He walked with a shaky, unpowered step.

After getting into his room, Niken immediately put his bag originally. He laid his body on his back on the bed. She was still very sad about her mother's words.

“Mami is so cruel anyway?” ask Niken to himself. Her tears flowed back, but she quickly wiped them away.

“Hopefully today's incident is just a dream,” please Niken.

Shortly after, he finally fell asleep. It seemed like he was very exhausted and his strength was already pretty much drained today. Moreover, just now he had let out so many emotions that were truly draining.

For now let him rest in peace and comfort. Let him rest his body and mind which are already very tired. That way, hopefully tomorrow the situation will be much better. Hope so.
