Metamorphoses
What's Happening to Dad?

With a heavy sigh Tasya tried to strengthen himself, even though he knew later the father would be furious with him. The wall clock shows that at 23:00 his father has not yet returned. Tasya left the food on the dining table as Tasya looked towards the door, hoping her father would come soon. 

Tasya was tired of waiting for his father to come home. Unlike usual his father came home late at night even his father did not give it up at all. At times Tasya walked towards the window and stared outside. Tasya repeatedly tried to telephone the father's number but it was always out of reach. 

The rain began to rain on Tasya's house and it was getting late at night. Tasya was worried about her father's situation. 

"Dad hurry home"

Tasya murmured was granted by the Creator. A motorbike was heard in Tasya's yard and Tasya opened the door for the father. 

"Assynogaic"

"Girishal"

"How come you haven't slept?"

"Dad himself why did you just come home?"

"Father was raining, have you eaten?"

"Not yet, Tasya waiting for father because Tasya wants to tell father as well"

"I'm sorry dad tasya actually dad also had the tomb earlier"

"Yeah.. Tasya wants to tell me the same story"

"Yes, you bikini daddy warm tea ya put it on the dinner table. I'm gonna take a shower first"

"Yes, you want to take a hot bath? "

"Not necessary"

While waiting for the father to finish bathing Tasyapun preparing arguments as thoroughly as possible so that his father is not angry with him. Tasya searched for the right word to talk to her father.

"Where's the tea"

"It's yeah"

"You want a good story? I think it's serious"

Sometimes the father drank the warm tea that had been made by his son. 

"So Tasya at school there's a problem well"

Tasya said nervously and trembling. The father put his warm cup of tea back on the table. 

"What's wrong? You got a red score? Or are you confused to find a sponsor for a school event?"

"Not yeah"

"Continue?"

"Tasiah.. Tasya was suspended by the school well"

"What??"

Said Tasya's father in wrath. The look on his face changed once. 

"Sorry Tasya yah"

"Tasha! Do you know how hard it is for me to make money for your school fees?"

"Sorry Tasya.. "

Plakkk (Voice of a very loud slap) 

Tasya strengthened herself. His left cheek turned a very red color. Tasya did not want to cry in front of his father because of his treatment. 

"As far as you! I'm tired of you! "

"Yeah.. Tasya's permission to explain everything"

"No favor! You're a child who doesn't know it! "

"Well.. "

"Have gone from home I don't want to see your face again!"

"Dad… "

"Dad ask you to leave the house immediately!"

Tasya's father left Tasya and Tasyapun went into his room complaining of pain at his father's treatment. 

"Mother.. Bad dad same Tasya"

Whine Tasya while rubbing elus red cheeks. Tasyapun took some of his clothes and removed his phone that was on the cargher. Tasya asked for help from his friends who want to accommodate Tasya tonight. 

"Bad Tasya doesn't like daddy like that! "

As Tasya was waiting for a reply from his friends Tasya wrote a story in his diary. 

For dad.. Sorry Tasya for being wrong. Sorry Tasya for disappointing me. Fathering.. Tasya's lips have not had time to say what the reason Tasya in the father's suspension has cut Tasya's conversation with words said the father high-pitched. Tasya disappointed with dad. But Tasya doesn't hate the father because Tasya knows he hasn't heard Tasya's explanation. 

Tasya grabbed her phone and saw Tasya's classmates who were still active in empathizing with Tasya's condition including Raka. 

Cring… 

The sound of Tasya's phone reads Raka's name on the screen. 

"Hallo Kaa"

"Sya cave pick you up now huh"

"No need for the cave to walk"

"Here it's 2 p.m., where are you going? You're not scared in the begal"

"Kayak you don't know the cave"

Ujaar Tasya held back his cries. 

"So you can stay in the cave house"

"Isn't Desi's house far from your house? "

"With papa ka, you can pesen grabcar"

"No! You wait there cave to your house now"

"Yes already"

"Lo get out now! The cave is in front of your house"

"That's a big shot"

"Udah here"

Tasya grabbed tasya and also some books that Tasya had put in his small suitcase. Without saying goodbye Tasya came out of his house. Close the door of his house - meeting. Hope the father can stop his steps. But all of that has no result. 

Tasya got into Raka's car which was already in front of the house. Raka helps Tasya put her suitcase in the trunk of her car. 

"So where are you going? "

"Entah Ka, the cave has tried to contact bi Desi but there is no answer maybe already sleeping"

"Yes, go to the cave house!"

"But ka??"

"The cave was the same permission to bring you here, gua already tells the story of lo same mamah and papah cave because it makes us finish dinner so they know what reason cave hold hp keep papah tell cave pick you because pity"

"Yes.. You do not need to be afraid of the same mamah and papah cave they are good people, mamah cave must have met you because mamah cave does not have a meeting at home"

"Ka why are you so good at the same cave anyway? "

"Community is empathy for you"

"Make what?"

"Lo shadowin deh Sya people as good as you can be treated badly by the teacher, temen and this your own father"

"Grotto dads may be another ka's tiredness"

"Sya if you want to cry, cry aja gua tau from earlier lo nahan crying"

"Lo is good Sya, temen lo there are stricken by calamity lo immediately fundraiser. Lo often gives food to street children even though your life is pasan"

"That's the cave's duty"

"Yes, the cave is sure that your father must be nyesel giniin lo"

"Ka, the cave has never seen a father this angry. Even until I dare slap the cheek of the cave"

"Oh my God, I thought it was a blush because it was so red"

"No, this is done in dad's slap"

"Sorry cave yes Sya, because - because cave ngebantah you also get suspended even hit by a slap from your own father"

"Gua just don't end up thinking the same father cave ka. The cave has often praised him but why he behaved roughly the same cave. Cave does not know why you can be so angry, even dad did not give a little gap for the cave explain everything to your father"

"I can do it anyway"

"Gua do not know ka, the cave also holds the cry of the cave in front of the cave father, but I instead like it to the cave"

"Lo is patient, yes"

On a long journey, Tasya fell asleep in Raka's car. Sometimes Raka looks at Tasya's face and feels pity. 

"Sya lo that pretty cave don't have the heart to see you get hurt"

Arriving at the rumaah Raka carried Tasya to the guest room. 

Raka knew that Tasya was exhausted from draining his energy all day. Both of Raka's parents who were waiting in the living room saw Tasya being carried by Raka feeling that Tasya was suffering a very severe blow. 

The two old men also entered the guest room. And saw Raka tidying up Tasya's bed. 

"Raka…"

"Eh mama"

"Beautiful yes"

"It's really pretty"

"That's a really red cheek like it runs out in a slap anyway? Or is that her wearing a blush? "

"Yes, he was slapped by his father even expelled from his house mah"

"Where's the mother?"

"His mother had been dead since she was 8 years old"

"Let mamah compress later use cold water cheek"

"Yes, make hot milk too"

"She's calm, you rest there"

"Raka, papa is amazed by you"

"Oh, papah is ordinary"

Raka leaves Tasya in her room and her parents leave Tasya's room. Mamah Raka prepared compresses and warm milk for the sleeping Tasya. 

"What a pity to you, you are beautiful and sweet. Aunty likes you especially Raka"

"It's not appropriate that you get a slap like this, son"

"Honestly aunty can immediately love you, you quickly recover, son"

Mamah Raka let Tasya fall asleep and out of Tasya's room. It was early morning Raka was still not asleep because she was thinking too much about Tasya.

Family is a place to exchange love. But sometimes the ego makes it unbreakable
