Risda stopped in front of his house whose door was closed, Risda looked at the yard around his house that looked barren without any plants growing there.
What used to be a house full of comfort, laughter, even the main reason to go home. Now, being a quiet, lonely house, even Risda did not want to go home at all.
If he doesn't go home, where will he go? It was the only house that belonged to both parents, when the two had separated then the house no one occupied. Beautiful with her in-laws did not get along, so she was forced to occupy the house until now.
It has been 4 years Indah occupied the house, to make Risda has no rights to the house, and he is like a person who lives without having rights to the house.
As soon as Risda's tears trickled down while remembering his time, he stepped his feet to enter the house and looked around the house that was like a prison for him. Photos of their happiness was clearly displayed on the wall of the house, even when the family was still gathered into one happy family.
Risda's father was a merchant of aci meatballs, their family was initially fine, they were, however, after his father moved to work as a traveling bank, his family split because his father was tempted by a woman who he pulled the installment.
"Huffd... If my family were okay, maybe I wouldn't have fared like this" Risda said with a soft sigh.
Risda immediately wiped the dripping tears, she saw the smiling face of her mother in the photo. As long as that face was still smiling, that was the pent-up strength that Risda had right now, she tried to hold on for the sake of that Mother who had given birth to her.
Risda went straight into her room, after which she immediately took a bath and cleaned her body after training. After that, he laid his body on his bed.
Risda also looked at the sky of his room that looks worn because it was never cleaned, if only his mother was home, would every day look clean and comfortable to live in. Risda also remembered about the memories of her past gauze, until it made her cry.
*Flash back on*
The afternoon had arrived, where a woman was busy cooking in the kitchen which was still walled with wood. A 6-year-old boy was playing with plastic cups filled with water.
"Da, please buy some salt" said a woman who was none other than the Goddess.
"Garam has Mommy is still a lot," said Risda little who looked at a jar containing salt.
"Make a sale, son. If it's not enough to sell,"
"Where's the money?" Risda raised her hand to the woman.
The woman also gave two pieces of ten thousand to Risda, Risda immediately took it for granted. Because he was a child, so he counted the amount of money with his fingers.
"Later buy salt, tofu, pepper powder, same chicken broth."
"It's still left over, isn't it, Bun?" Ask Risda.
"Still, there's two thousand left, for you."
"Asheikhkk...."
Risda immediately ran out of the house, if not for the reward, he would not want to leave. Shortly afterwards, Risda came with a bag of plastic in her right hand, and she gave it to her mother.
"Bun, the money is not leftover, even less," said Risda lethargic while giving the shopping.
"Tog much less?" Ask his mother strangely.
His mother immediately dismantled the bag of plastic, she was surprised by what was purchased by Risda. Inside there are some ingredients that have not been purchased by Risda, but many food ingredients are not asked to buy but purchased by Risda.
"Risda, Mommy told Risda what to buy?" Ask Goddess.
"Mother ask to buy salt, chili, sugar, soy sauce, same flour." Risda also remembered the groceries he bought.
"But Mother Nyuru just bought salt, tofu, pepper powder, the same chicken broth. Where are the others going?"
"Mother did not say, Risda only remembered that. How about dong, Bun?"
"Yes have to come back again, this is not what Mother said just now,"
"No want ah, Risda is tired of having to go back and forth. Where the road is hot again, far too" complained Risda.
The roulette tolet
Suddenly a trader was passing through the street in front of Risda's house, hearing it immediately made Risda with his spirit to ask for money to his mother.
"Bun wants to buy that, Bun!" Shouted Risda with his spirit.
"Behold, Mother take the money first," his mother rushed to go towards her room.
"Bun hurry! The hunt is gone later," Risda who was not patience was afraid if the merchant went from that place before he came.
His mother gave a piece of money five thousand to Risda, and Risda immediately ran to get out of the house to buy the food. It was a traveling salesman, when Risda was on the street, he saw that the merchant had rushed away.
"Sir buying!" Shouted Risda while running after the merchant.
The merchant stopped at the end of the alley leading to the house of Risda, which is more precisely about 1 hecto meter from his house. He arrived in front of the seller with a breath of everything and immediately gave the money to the seller.
"Pak buy melon as papaya as well as watermelon as pineapple," said Risda while regulating his breath.
But the remark was not heard by the seller, because the seller was serving other buyers but Risda's property was given to him.
After the seller looked lonely, he also served Risda, but said the seller that Risda was not enough to buy the four pieces. He could only buy three pieces, but at that time the fruit was still five hundred.
"Not enough, Dek. Money is less," said the seller.
"But Mother gave me five thousand, sir. It is still enough to buy four," said Risda confused.
"But your money is only two thousand, and the price of all the thousands. So you can only get three,"
"No, I saw it five thousand, too, sir. Mommy said that it was also five thousand," Risda remained tight on his words.
Before running, he did look at the money, and there was indeed a 5 in the money. Risda remembered very well the previous incident, before he gave the money to the fruit seller.
"No, it's not my money, sir. My money was that color,"
"But Adek gave me this money,"
"No sir, I remember."
"Yes, I asked your mother,"
The seller was still chuckling with his words, he immediately put the watermelon, melon, papaya into a plastic bag. He immediately gave the fruit to Risda without change, Risda also stood beside his entourage to wait for change.
"Return, sir?" Ask Risda who seems to be ignored by the person.
"That's enough money, no more change."
"But my money is five thousand, sir. Usually you can also buy 10 pieces of everything,"
"Mending you asked your mother first, just given how much money he was,"
"But you wait here yes, I asked Mommy first,"
"Yes,"
Risda also stepped back towards his house, occasionally he could go back to make sure the merchant was still there. A few steps he did, one step at a time he kept looking back for fear that the merchant would leave without returning the change.
When Risda turned towards his house, the merchant immediately rushed to leave from there. Seeing that instantly made Risda cry, the merchant seemed as if he would not hear her cry because the distance was quite far away.
"Mother, Hua....." Risda cried while running into her house.
Hearing the screams of his son, immediately made the Goddess rush to meet him for fear of his son why. Risda was crying as much as she wanted to see the Goddess, while Dewi was confused as to why her son was crying.
"What's wrong?" Ask the Goddess afraid her son has fallen or how.
"So how much did you give me?" Risda asked with a sigh and wiped away those tears.
"Five thousand, son. Why why?"
"Say the fruit seller, Risda's money is less, ma'am. He said Risda's money was only two thousand, and then only got this doant, Bun. hikss... Then he told Risda to go home to ask Mother, she said she wanted to wait for Risda but instead she left,"
Risda also said everything to his mother, he felt hurt when lied to just by the fruit trader he bought earlier. He said he wanted to wait for Risda to ask his mother, but instead he just left Risda.
"Not crying, maybe not our sustenance, Ris. Later Bunda replace deh, from Risda ngak cry again," Persuade Dewi.
"No, Bun. She's wrong why did Mother change?"
"How serious? If chased is gone, Ris. Does Risda know where he went?"
Risda shook her head quickly, because she herself did not know where the fruit seller had gone. It could have been far away also go, while his mother could not ride a motorcycle, chasing him on foot was not possible to be overtaken.
"Just eat the fruit, later if Dad comes home we buy a big one,"
"What, Bun?" Risda asked with her eyes round.
"Yes, it's been eaten it's purchased fruit,"
Risda immediately ate it voraciously, he also enjoyed it even though his feelings were still hurt by being left behind by the fruit trader.
...*Flash back off*...
Risda smiled at herself when she remembered that, when she cried her mother would persuade her to keep smiling. However, if he was crying right now, then his own heart would try to calm him down instead of others.
If he cannot calm his heart, then by hurting himself is the best solution for him. With the pain in her limbs, it would make Risda able to forget the pain in her heart.
Maybe no one knows, that Risda often hurt himself when he was down. Even the wall in his room was the target to vent his emotions, to make the back of his hand hurt.
"Well... It was all just a mass that would never be able to return, even if it was blood-crying, then it had already left and would not be able to be played back. If my family were okay, maybe everything would be fine and I wouldn't be this bad every day,"
After saying that, Risda's tears flowed at the end of her eyes, a sense of tightness also burst into her heart. Everything was over but the pain was still clear, even the pain almost made him commit suicide.
A family divorce is a disaster for his children, without realizing that behind it all, that his child is the most injured. It hurts when betrayed by a partner, but it hurts more if he becomes his son who must see both parents separated.
Without them realizing that family divorce has an effect on the mental health of a child, when the question 'between joining Mom or Dad' is spoken, then at that time the heart of a child will be destroyed as broken as it is not even able to be repaired again.
Children will feel guilty, children's minds are often immature, so when parents decide to divorce they will feel that this happens because of it. They will feel very guilty, especially if the child is under 12 years old. They are very fragile in the face of this. Children will feel if their world becomes a mess after both parents divorce.
Children become paranoid, when parents decide to divorce, then the child will risk losing confidence, inner calm, and loss of ideals. They no longer have the spirit to live life. As a result, they will develop into paranoid individuals. This nature will make him withdraw from the association in society and he will choose to hide in solitude or even become a rude person.
Being Bad, children of divorce victims usually tend to feel they have no direction in life and have no support in their lives. They will be out of control and more aggressive. They also tend to be more easily involved in the use of alcohol and illegal drugs.
Not Wanting to Get Married is a sense of trauma that occurs due to divorce will make children avoid marriage as he grows up. He will feel reluctant to hold a marriage for fear of experiencing the same things as their parents. Worse yet, they are even reluctant to establish relationships due to deep trauma.
Low Quality of Life. Children whose parents are divorced usually experience a decrease in quality of life. This is because their pocket money is reduced, because their parents are reluctant to communicate to keep meeting the needs of the child's life.
Academic Decline. According to some studies, children of divorce victims will experience behavioral problems. Their learning activities tend to no longer have any control, thus impacting their academic ability.
Loneliness is one of the psychic effects that must occur in the child of a divorce victim. This loneliness will be very striking, because they will feel the loss of one of their parents.
If divorce is the only path that must be taken by parents, make sure the affection and attention for children are not reduced so that the effects of divorce for children are not a problem that needs special handling.
"Mother! Daddy's! You are so hearty with Risda, Risda also wants to be like the others, can smile with her parents. Mother, Risda is very envious of friends, can you not give Risda a day to be happy with you? You're evil!"
