Two weeks already Laras was at his parents' house, for two weeks no one greeted Laras except Lestari. Baras also not allowed to come out, even one step out of the door, then Rahman will not hesitate to hit him until the body of Laras full of bruises here and there. Every night, Laras would cry, complain of pain, because the pain that was suddenly not healed, but added again with a new pain. Even two days ago, Laras was not fed, because he was caught contacting Ariel, and finally Rahman took the phone and slammed it on the floor until the phone could no longer be turned on because the screen broke.
Laras could only cry roaring, because from that phone he could contact Ariel and tell her the current state of being tormented by his own father, who was in torment, even the mother was reluctant to help him and only saw him at a glance and went to his room or went out to work.
Lestari also could not help much, because if he helped Laras, then Rahman did not hesitate to hit him as well and it made Lestari afraid to help Laras. Lestari can only help bring food and snacks for Laras, however, currently, Laras is pregnant and if Laras starves, can make the fetus in the womb get affected.
Every day, Laras could only cry, enduring the pain both physically and mentally. Physical pain because in the torment of his father, inner pain because until this moment Ariel seemed to not care about him, even his number was also blocked, until his phone was slammed, even, Laras has not been able to contact Ariel at all. He once used Lestari's phone, but a few seconds later, Lestari's number was blocked.
"Mbak, eat first yes," said Lestari, he felt sorry for his brother, just two weeks stay in this house, but Laras had lost his weight, even Laras looks Skinny, maybe because he often cried during the night, crying for Ariel who no longer cared for him, crying for his fate, his future, and also crying for his physical pain all over the body, especially the back. Even Laras can not sleep on his back, must sleep on his side because if sleeping on his back will be painful and sore.
Lestari every day, several times compress the bruise to quickly disappear and the wound, on the love of red medicine, let it dry quickly and heal. Laras did not reject Lestari's kindness, because he needed Lestari's attention to help him overcome the pain and arrows all over his body. Fortunately until this moment, the content is fine, because Laras always protects his stomach so that it does not get raged Rahman-Bapaknya.
"Thank you, yeah." Laras takes rice from Lestari, only rice, without side dishes. Because Rahman did not allow Laras to eat with side dishes. Actually Lestari pity, but how else. He once stole some side dishes, uh caught and finally Lestari was in full swing even he also got a hard slap from Rahman. Even the mother only smiled cynically when she saw Lestari hit. Lestari never thought, that his parents could play rough like this only because Laras had maluknakn them.
Indeed what was done by Laras was wrong, but it could not be if they did not torture Laras to this extent. Lestari himself could not even bear, if he had the courage and had a lot of money, he would have taken Laras away from his house that was like hell.
Barrel eating voraciously, even though only rice, can at least eliminate the pain and the fetus that he carries well, however the fetus is very important for him to ensnare Ariel. He has gone far like this, willing to betray his best friend, give his desire that he has kept so far only for Ariel, humiliated in the real world and cyberspace, he said, getting insults and insults from many people, willing to get a blow from Rahman and also willing to suffer like this, day and night. Then he had to stop in the middle of the road after what happened. No, he will not give up, he feels guilty to Luna, but the rice has become porridge. After all, Luna would not be able to return to Ariel, so surely Ariel would be hers, completely. He is willing to sacrifice anything, as long as he can get what he wants.
"Slowly, Ma'am. Later choking," said Lestari reminded. He also took two glasses of water so that Laras could be full.
"No papa, I have no intention to hit Mbak Laras. Dad was like that because he was depressed just like Mom. Out there, many residents, neighbors who continue to insult Father and Mother, let alone them, I also get hit. And his words are very painful and make the heart hot. Even in cyberspace, also still mama posts Mbak Laras and Mas Ariel. Father and Mother were really very depressed, I had seen Father and Mother crying after the evening prayer, I also joined in crying to hear their conversation. I don't know who to defend, I'm angry and also disappointed with Mbak Laras, because of Mbak Laras, my life and our parents so can not be peaceful as before, I didn't even dare to go to school because my friends kept insulting me, so I skipped a few times to choose not to enter at all. I can't stand it if I keep hearing insults from them all day, even my guy friends say I want to pay me so I want to sleep with them. Though I don't know anything, but I've been affected. That's why I want to quit school, I want to go after package C, anyway. I just feel unable, especially the same Father Mother. If not for having to work, maybe they also chose to stay quiet at home so as not to hear insults from all of them. But seeing Mbak Laras hit until bruised gini, I also do not have the heart. I want to feel like I brought Mbak Laras to run away from this house so as not to be beaten again, but what I can do. Really, I am a pomegranate too, everyone is feeling the pain now. If time can be replayed, I will definitely prevent Mbak Laras from going to Jakarta, or let me go to Jakarta to make money," said Lestari shed tears.
Hearing this, Laras felt guilty.
"I'm sorry, because I was bullied at school" Laras said apologizing.
"No papa, it may have been my destiny like this," Lestari replied while wiping away her tears.
"But are you sure you want to quit school, just a few months away from graduating."
"I'm sure, rather than stressing out and crazy facing them. Mending I just stop and go with package C."
They continued to fester with each other, Laras feeling guilty for what befell his sister and parents, but again, Laras could not back down from what was his goal. Still hoping to change the course of his life, he wants to unite with Ariel, the first man who has taken his honor and the first man Laras loves.
He will fight until the last blood, he is sure as long as he wants to try and pray, he can get Ariel and after that they will live happily with their children.
