The Expelled From Home

"Being a good person is easy, the hard thing is to stay good despite being mistreated by others."

Rendy wanted to talk but her mouth seemed to be locked so she was difficult to speak.

"Rendy Martin, if Daddy is asking you, you should answer Daddy's statement." Daddy clucked his waist as he stared intently at Rendy.

"Who would Dad ask me?" Rendy talks with a stutter to Daddy.

"Have you changed your religion?"

"Outside."

"Then from this moment on you're no longer my son and you have to get out of this house right now." Daddy who heard the confession from Rendy was so angry that He kicked Rendy out of the house.

"Daddy don't throw me out of the house." Rendy stood up from where she used to be and knelt before Daddy pleading.

"If you don't want to be kicked out of this house then you better move to our religion again."

"No, my decision is already unanimous to become a Muslim." Rendy stood up now that she was standing in front of her Daady. Rendy's decision to become a Muslim cannot be challenged by anything.

"Then now you leave this house without my gift."

"All right, Daady." Rendy only carries a favorite guitar, clothes on the body with a wallet containing makeshift cash.

"Don't call me Daddy because from this moment on we have nothing to do.

"I'm leaving." Rendy walked with her favorite guitar.

Rendy who had just stepped down from the stairs of the house met with aunt.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go. My aunt's sorry if there's a wrong bibik." Rendy slapped the back of a bibik's hand.

"Young master there's nothing wrong with Bik, young master where are you going?"

"I don't know bik, which is clear now I have to get away from this."

Rendy walked while carrying her beloved guitar on her back. Rendy was in front of her yard and she looked at the window. Daddy stood in front of Rendy's window while looking at Rendy who was below.

Daady is sure you'll be back in this house soon. By whining like a child, anyways what you can do just by bringing money as deep as Daddy.

While Rendy who was still standing in the courtyard of the house while staring at the window of her room.

Goodbye my family, I'm sorry I couldn't be the proud son of Daddy and Mommy. I'm sure by now you'll all hate me for my decision to convert. But this has been my decision, whatever the risk of my decision then I will bear all of it. Even though I had to be kicked out of this family, I accepted everything. I love you all so much that you can all be happy without me here in Rendy's mind.

Tonight Rendy walked without direction and purpose, he just kept walking down the street in the housing complex. Rendy was already on the side of the highway but she had no direction and no purpose. Rendy's mind is still adrift because she does not know where to go after being kicked out by Daddy.

Rendy is also unlikely to have to remain in town B. Rendy is sure that if he is still in town B he will not be able to work because Daddy will certainly do various ways so that Rendy can not work. So that Rendy will live to suffer if Rendy is not able to survive to suffer then she will come to beg Daddy.

Rendy decides to leave town B. Suddenly an inter-provincial bus stops in front of Rendy. A man opened the bus door and got off the bus.

"Would you like to ride?"

"Is there an empty bench?"

"So, so how do you want to ride?"

"Yes I'm up."Rendy got into the bus. Rendy sits on an empty bus seat.

" Where are you going?"

"Not yet."

Rendy looked at the window of the bus car, Rendy who did not have a destination just resigned. Rendy's gonna live a new start where this bus stopped last time.

Rendy had been two days and two nights on the bus, for two days and two nights Rendy did not bathe in the bus. Rendy just washed her face, prayed and ate when she was hungry.

"Where have we gotten?" Rendy who saw the kernet walked past him so she asked.

"City J."

"Where is this J town?"

"Sumatera Island."

"So I have left the island of Java deserve I feel this journey is so far because it has been 2 days 2 nights I was on the bus.

"Where are you actually going down?"

"When did this bus last get off where?"

"Little town D."

"I'm going down in small town D."

"Then your journey is still 1 day 1 night."

"No problem."

The next morning the bus that Rendy was riding had stopped at the bus terminal in the city of P. Rendy got off the bus. When Rendy was already at the bus terminal in search of the toilet because she was urinating.

Rendy came out of the toilet with a wet face as she wet her face. Rendy only bought a packet of bread and a bottle of mineral water. Rendy deliberately only bought a pack of bread and a bottle of mineral water to save money.

"To all our passengers will depart for the city of D."

"Come on the bus." Kernet shouted to get all the passengers on board the bus.

One by one the passengers got on the bus. Rendy walks into the bus, and Rendy sits back in her place.

"Can I sit here?" A man stands next to a bench with Rendy's guitar.

"May sir." Rendy picked up the guitar on the bench.

"Thank you." The man sat on the bench.

The bus they were riding in was already moving away from the bus terminal.

"Whose name are you?"

"Rendy sir." Rendy reached out her hand towards the sir.

"Faisal Please." Faisal shook Rendy's hand after which Faisal released Rendy's hand.

"Is Mr. Faisal an ustadz?" Rendy looked at Faisal's clothes which were like a pack of Ustadz.

"Where is Rendy going?"

"I don't have a purpose Mr. Ustadz."

"What if you come with me?"
