My Father Misses
Be suspicious
"Children please collect your duties." orders Miss Siska our Biology teacher.
"Good Mom," we answered compactly.
"Where is your job? Ask Vita.
I unpacked the contents of my bag, looking for a Biology assignment book.
"Where is it? I was invisible, but I had kept it in my bag."
"Quickly Lila you will be in the law of Miss Siska loh," continued Vita.
Siska's mother is famous as the most kiler teacher. He will not forgive students who are wayward or who do not do their duty.
"Where is my job? My job's gone!" I unpacked all the contents in the bag.
"Meet!" My exclaims and I finally took a deep breath of the grand mark.
"Thank God I'm not in the law" I continued.
"Crazy...Lila.., your habit has never gone away, Vita has been touching my ears.
Indeed, from the beginning my worst habit was to like to forget something that I keep myself one of them as it is today, I forgot where I keep my Biology taskbook.
I laughed in embarrassment, and hurried to deliver my Biology assignment.
"Safe!" I elated my chest
And Vitapun smiled at my behavior.
When the hour came, the six of us gathered in the corner of the canteen to discuss everything, whether it was duty, heartbreak or plans that we discussed as we now.
Vita opens the conversation.
"Aby, Margot in the afternoon we go to Lila's house, yeah, we make pudding.
"Just y'all keep me and Neno?" ask Atan.
"You too, I say."
"What time is it?" Ask Margot excitedly.
" It's 04:00, yes" I replied briefly.
"Remember don't like ngaret, yes" continued Vita.
"Aman boss, we won't be late Neno said.
The entrance bell rang, the six of us returned to their respective classes to follow all the learning process.
Soon the long bell rang the whole class became boisterous.
"Hore..pulaaanggg," we cried.
"Tumben came home early today" asked Vita.
I just shrugged my shoulders at the mark of not knowing.
"Teachers - teachers have meetings, so we go home quickly. Our class leader.
After school I and Vita shopped for our activities, making our pudding.
The ringing tone of my phone rang, I rushed to get it from my bag. It says on my screen "Dad calls"
"Hello Yah.., sorry Lila today came home late because Lila same Vita is still shopping well." I made it clear before Dad asked.
"Ohhhh, I'd like to say that you're with your mother to go out for a while." Connect Dad.
"Where's Dad?" Ask me.
"There's a little business dear" continued Dad.
"Kok Daddy's with the last mother - late this often comes out, there is always business," I said.
I heard my laughter from across.
"Oh yeah baby, Dad and Mom go first. Pamit Daddy's.
"Bah Daddy! Be careful on the road," I've gotten into my conversation with Dad.
"Lila, Dad and Mom you're leaving again, aren't you?" ask Vita.
"Yes Vit" I replied briefly.
"Where?" Vita continued to ask.
And I just shrug my head.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Crazy...Lila," call Neno and Atan.
"Neno, Atan please come in," I invite Neno and Atan.
"Where are the others?" Ask Atan.
"Maybe it's just 15:30" I replied.
"What do you both want to drink?" Ask me again.
"Anything, the important thing is not to be poisoned." Sahut Neno teased me.
"Hmmm," I flicked my lips.
"Tumben today you want to make us a drink, again a good dream yes last night," continued Atan who did not want to lose to Neno.
They are both the same - just as ugly.
"Where are your mom and dad? How is it not visible?" Ask Neno.
"My father and mother have some business, and they'll be back soon." Answer me.
"Crazy...Lila!" Call Vita, Margot and Aby.
"Hey, come on in. Neno and Atan were waiting for you from half an hour ago, I said, letting my three best friends in.
Vita took out the ingredients to make the pudding, both of our groceries earlier.
Margot and Aby take the place to store the materials, while Atan and Neno are busy mingling PS in the TV room.
"Lila where are your parents?" Ask Margot.
"Yes, your father and mother were invisible?" Connect Aby while stirring the pudding dough.
"I don't know where my mom and dad went. Just so my dad called, said their dad came out for a little bit of business."
"Owww.answer them compact."
"Lila where's the pudding print?"
Aby asked like a great chef.
"It!" I gave Aby a mold of kittie's hello-shaped pudding.
"Leave a wait for how many minutes and the pudding is ready to eat" continued Aby.
Twenty minutes later Vita took out the pudding from the refrigerator.
"Tara.. pudding is ready," said vita. We were all so fascinated by our work.
"It turns out you guys are good at cooking too huh," Atan teased.
"I guess the four of you can only dress up, crybaby, baffle and fussy;" continued Neno.
Atan and Nenopun laughed amusedly at our expressions after hearing their words.
"Good day everyone," she said.
"Good day ma'am,"
"Tanta's afternoon!" Answer us.
"It's nice to see you all here, let Lila not be lonely because om and tanta are not home."Mother continued.
My best friend replied to my mother with a smile.
"Tanta please try our pudding" Margot said as she offered the mother a piece of pudding.
Mom took a piece of pudding and tasted it.
"Mother, where is Dad? How is it not visible?" my many.
"Oh...Your father's out of town again, baby." replied the mother briefly.
"Didn't you go with mom?" Ask me.
"Yes; dad and mom went out together but, there was a call from my dad's office, and I got a job out of town, she said.
"Owwww when did you come home mom?" Ask me again.
"Dear one" replied the mother.
"Tomorrow? Why not come home tomorrow?" Ask me again.
"Honey, there are some things that you have to finish so the day after tomorrow you can go back. And anyway dad left because of the office business instead of a picnic" said the mother.
"Tonight you can be alone?" Ask Mom.
"Where are you going?" My toot.
"Mom wants to stay at Oma's house, Oma is sick again" replied the mother.
"I'm coming, Mom?" "Don't worry, we still have to go to school tomorrow.
"Everything is Tanta staying, yes" continued Mother.
"Ok Auntie!" Answer them.
Vita, Aby, Margot, you three are with me tonight, right?" My love.
"Sorry Lila, I can't keep you company because tonight there's a family event at my house, I'm sorry;" Margot said.
"I'm also Lila, sorry yes;" said Vita.
"It's okay - is there Aby, or are you having an event tonight?" My toot.
"If I did, no show would be free.
And I can accompany you tonight.
I called my father first yes; to ask permission to stay at your house" Aby said.
"Okok!" I said.
"Lila it's dark, we go home first.
"Our aunt came home. " Yes, hearts are on the way" my mother said.
Aby and I drove our best friends to the front of the house and we entered soon because the day was getting darker.
"Lila, aby, let's help mom" she said. "Yes ma'am, yes tanta," replied me and Aby almost simultaneously.
"Aby please get me that tanta bag over that closet yeah, and you Lila please put that yellow map in my clothes bag.
"Mom go to the kitchen first."Mom left us and headed for the kitchen.
"Hmmm, what map is this?" I asked in my heart.
I opened the map and I looked at the contents of the map, and suddenly my mother came and took the map from my hand.
"Honey, it's not good to unpack the contents of this map," said Mother.
"Lila didn't break it down, Lila just saw it" I replied.
I feel like something's wrong, I don't usually act like that.
"Mom...kok in the map there is a copy of the health card and ID card belonging to the father?" Ask again.
"Hmmm...That, that's for daddy's office.
I told mom to send it tomorrow;" said Mom.
"Mom didn't lie?" Askes investigate.
"No dear" answered my mother. "There's nothing I'm hiding from Lilaan?" Ask again.
"No dear" answered my mother.
"Yes yes.., Mother left first, fear no more ojek, ohya you do not forget to eat and do not remember to chat because tomorrow you have to wake up early.Mother has prepared food." Said mom diverting the conversation.
"Well ma'am, both tanta, answered me and aby.
"Heart on the way mom, greetings to oma." My next.
My heart is still unsatisfied, there is still suspicion. "Surprisingly, why does the office ask for a photo copy of the ID card and father's health card," I murmured.
"Lila what's wrong? Don't tell me you're possessed?" Ask aby.
"Just kid! come eat," take me.
"From now on you've been kamat - kamit is not clear anyway," continued Aby.
"Hmmm, it's delicious, it's eating. I put a spoon full of rice and side dishes into Aby's mouth to stop Aby talking.
"Hahaha" I laughed amusedly at the face of Aby who became red like a boiled shrimp, and her cheeks like a bakpao.
"Evil you Lila, watch out for my vengeance" Aby said.
I stuck out my wound mocking Aby and didn't respond to what she said. I think of the words - they are like passing winds.
"Tumben father didn't tell me" I said in my heart.
Aby I called my dad first yeah," I said.
"It's only been a day to call, what else your father went one week, could die standing you, Aby said.
"It's not so By, my dad's not usually like this. If you leave or have arrived somewhere you will tell me."
"Maybe your father is still busy" Aby continued.
"Maybe, but how did I feel so bad?" My next.
"Lila.just teach you that because your father hasn't informed you yet" Aby won me over.
"Kok is not lifted," I grumbled.
"Sabar Lila maybe your father is still busy, just for a moment, and then you call your father again" Aby said.
"All right," I said, taking a deep breath.
My feelings are getting louder. I paced back and forth in the living room looking at the clock and I couldn't wait to call Dad.
"Lila let's sit here" Aby asked.
" Yes," I answered," but my heart was still gone.
After a few minutes my phone rang, I rushed to open my phone.
"Hore you sent me a message."
While Aby could only shake her head - shake her head at my attitude.
"I'm sorry son, I can't take your call because I have to finish the office. Again sorry, dear."
My heart was a little soft after reading my father's message.
"I told you, your father must have been so busy that he couldn't reach you yet" Aby said.
I was embarrassed to hear Aby's words."
Yuk istrahat! It's ten o'clock, can we both wake up bad luck." I said.
"Yes, yes" replied Aby.
"Actually who is it that keeps us awake until this hour, grumbled Aby."
I smiled and said, "Dear baby don't get angry dong will get old."
Aby and I went to the room and rested so we could wake up tomorrow morning.
"Dad, don't leave Lila."
My tears are pouring down my cheeks.
"Crazy...Lila," Aby called me while shaking my body.
"Lila, let's get up! You why?" ask Aby.
"Ak..I'm a nightmare By, how many times have I always dreamed the same thing. I dreamt that my father died."
"That's because before you go to sleep you forget to pray, so you dream of bad things." Aby said while wiping away the tears on my cheek.
