PRETTY TEACHER WHO JUTEK
Dad Disappointed By Asti's Decision
At that time the Father still seemed to think so hard, like trying to absorb what Asti said to him. After a moment of silence turned out to be the result of his thoughts were still like that, the wound in the heart of the Father still felt sore because of disappointment.
"But I still can't understand why it's so easy to decide such a big problem, without thinking. You should know this decision concerns your future Asti. Your father and mother are old, we are not young anymore!'' the Father spoke with his lips that trembled as if they were harboring deep pain and sorrow.
The atmosphere that was hot seemed to be cold, when Asti heard the phrase from the Father. Asti is confused and guilt arises in him. But the decision he has taken is a decision that can no longer be challenged.
“Iya I know very well Father, with the conditions that exist. But I am confident and believe my sustenance for Father and Mother is not just in that company. There are still many jobs that can be a place for me to make a living for myself, for Father and Mother. But no longer in that company Dad! I don't want to be in that neighborhood anymore.
“To be frank this decision has already entered my life principle, Well. I can no longer accept it. My eyes and heart can no longer deal with it!'' answer Asti.
“So what's the problem exactly? What made you make this decision, son! Give me the answers I can receive! Since then there has been no reasonable reason for Ayah” said The Father again.
“Iya Nak. What exactly was the problem that befell you at that company until you made this decision? continued The Mother. “Which we see now, that you have taken a hasty decision and without careful consideration first! Not even talking about it with us!”
Asti realized the truth said by her parents and nodded her head.
''I was wrong, not willing to tell Father and Mother the truth!'' sahut. “That's because I feel sick of talking about it. Because by telling it, what I don't want to remember it haunts me back to my mind. So I beg Father and Mother to be able to accept my decision this”
“Why don't you want to tell the truth clearly, son? What happened already?” said Mother again.
“Iya Ma'am, I will definitely pass it on to Mom and Dad. But for now give me time, until I'm really ready” Asti approached her Mom and Dad, directly hug them “Asti dear Mom and Dad, forgive Asti who until this moment still makes Mom and Dad worried."
Mother and Father who could not speak anymore, just stroking the head of the only girl puppet.
Asti had no intention of making her Mom and Dad worried. Asti, who has been thinking at length about this issue, is looking for ways to convey it to his parents.
Their concerns would be much greater if Asti told the true events compared to his resignation decision.
Abuse by his leadership that made Asti strong resigned and grateful his crown was saved.
The trial was completed between the three children that day. Asti who went back into his room to take a bath and rest calmed himself and his mind. So also with Father and Mother who after the incident that afternoon did not talk much with each other.
The father, who was still glum when morning came, sat on the porch seat alone. While looking at the street with such a beautiful look. Two slices of his favorite bread are placed on a white plate and accompanied by a glass of his favorite bitter coffee on the table. Two slices of bread and one glass of bitter coffee that looks still full in a special cup of his favorite. As if it hasn't tasted at all. It's like he's got a lot of thoughts!
Beautiful flowers bloomed in front of him as if not seen by the gaze of his two eyes. Unlike Dad who is always cheerful and excited, let alone in the morning, when the sun starts to set even his spirit is still burning. Totally different 180˚ from the previous days.
As day by day passed, a girl in the house did not go anywhere else, because she was now unemployed.
Asti, who spends more time in the room, always looks busy by sitting in front of a laptop or opening his cellphone. I don't know what he saw! I don't know what's in his mind on those two things! The mother often patrolled into her room, to see if her daughter was okay. After opening the door Mother always shook her head while looking at Asti.
Asti who returned his mother's gaze just by smiling without her teeth visible.
When Asti is hungry he will make sure the conditions outside his room are safe, then he walks to the kitchen to pick up heavy meals or snacks in his refrigerator. His behavior was like a rat stealing his master's food. He deliberately came out of his room when his Father and Mother had eaten or when his Father and Mother were resting day or night. He did so as not to meet face to face with his parents.
Until the fourth night Asti quit work, the three of them finally had dinner together. It was also because of the compulsion of the Mother who picked her up and pulled her out of the room to sit at the dining table and eat together. Though the lunch hour or the night before Asti is always called by her Mother, but Asti always avoids and always answers with various reasons not to eat with Mother and especially the Father.
With a heavy feeling, Asti finally followed his mother to the dining table, seen the father who had been sitting in one of the chairs that Dad used to sit in.
There is a feeling of longing for the father of his daughter, because even though they are one house but some days the father and Asti avoid each other.
Asti avoids feeling guilty for both parents, while the father avoids because he feels sad because Asti does not have a job anymore.
It is undeniable that Asti misses her father's warm and affectionate attitude.
So does the father who misses the joy of his only daughter.
Seeing Asti who came to eat, the father just kept quiet, there was no greeting from the father for Asti, as well as Asti who did not dare to reprimand his father for seeing the face of the father who was still upset.
Seriate…
