Princess Reunion Cost
Trauma of the past

There were sobs coming from inside the room, cries that sounded so bitter in Butet's ears. Little Butet walked up to the door of the room to his parents, then slowly opened the door. The host is seen sitting on the floor by drowning his face on the mattress that is on the cot. Clearly visible in both of Butet's eyes, the host's body trembled withstanding his bitter taste.

Butet rushed in and approached the host. The woman who had given birth to herself 10 years ago was shocked when Butet touched her shoulder. Then the host turned his head and looked closely at Butet. Not only the host, Butet was surprised when he saw the face of the mother. There are clearly many blue marks around her cheeks and under her eyelids. There were also traces of blood around her lips.

"What's this?" Asked Butet innocently.

"Not what." The host tried to hide the bruises on his face.

Butet continued to stare at the host who looked wrong. Then the host tried to smile and move from his seat.

"Now you're sleeping, yes" said the host, trying to lead Butet back to the room. Butet refused to return. He tried to touch her face very carefully.

"Is that sick?" Ask Butet.

The host was silent for a while, before his cries broke and hugged Butet tightly.

Not only did he get there, the next night there was a noise in his parents' second room. Butet ran to his parents' room and tried to peek out of the gaping door.

"Quite I you betrayed bang! But don't hurt my face! Our son is looking!"

"Babami!"

Plakkkk!

Brukk..!

Prasgg...!

Butet closed both of his eyes, as he looked at such a heartbreaking sight. His mother became the monthly month of the father who was drunk. The father's burly hand, which he called 'Amang', continued to land on his mother's thin body.

"But! If you want to pigi with the Dosma, digi bang. But don't you go on a gini bang! Dead I'm beautiful, no one's guarding our son!" The host continued to cry as he said those words. It was enough to make Butet shed tears and feel emotions that he had never felt before against his father.

Brakkk...!

The host's body slammed into the corner of the room. It makes Butet ventured to interfere with the problems of his parents.

"What is this amang!" Butet snapped, running to his mother.

"Dental to You Butet! Don't you be here. Nantik you're the target of your attack!" Shake the host, while pushing Butet's small body.

"I'm interfering with you!" Quickly, a punch landed on Butet's body. Butet's chest felt tight when enduring the pain that spread throughout his body.

"A-amang," Butet looked at his demon-possessed father. As if not knowing which one was the son and which one was the wife, all were as if enemies in his father's eyes.

"Don't interfere! I made you die!" Say amang, while again landing a hard blow on Butet's head.

Butet fell and was unconscious.

.

Butet opened both eyes, when he heard the roar of grief, and his name was constantly called by the host. At that time, the Butet family economy was still in a state of chaos. That is why, the host prefers to wait for Butet to wake up at home, rather than taking him to the hospital.

Butet looked around him, at once he looked frightened when he saw the father sitting in the corner of the room. Quickly, the host hugged Butet and tried to appease his eldest daughter. The father looked at himself without any expression.

"Tet.. calm down, here there is a host," said the mother, while continuing to wipe Butet's back.

Butet's cry exploded, he looked so frightened that his body trembled violently.

"You saw this! Just like your son you can go gini! Why don't you just kill us!" Challenge the mother. While looking at the incident, the little brother, can only cry as if he understands the real situation.

"Only for the sake of the Dosma, can you hurt your own biological child! Do you think that Dosma's piker wants to take care of you in old age? Cut me off, if he's gonna dump you nantik! You're gonna crawl in here, beg your son and son's forgiveness!" Speak with emotion.

Amang got up from his seat, then he walked towards the front door of the house.

"I prefer the Dosma. You take care of your kids!" Amang said, while leaving the house that is not worth it, in which there are three biological children who still desperately need him.

From then on, Butet became angry. He is like a grudge with infidelity and also the attitude of his father to himself and also his mother. Even at school, Butet felt he had to be able to take care of himself. He does not want to be oppressed, even in trivial matters. Not infrequently Butet always play hands and also say rude to his friends who dare to disturb him.

Protecting yourself, that's what Butet often does. He felt that no one was able to protect him when he was not near his mother. It became the formation of character in Butet. Butet grows up to be a rough, emotional woman and also feels compelled to protect herself from feelings that upset her.

But the thing that makes Butet even more disappointed is, when one day the father came to their house. At that time Butet, who had been in junior high school, had just come home and found the father who was sitting in the living room of his house. Butet could not believe what he saw. The mother seemed so familiar with her father, after three years the father abandoned her, mother and her two younger siblings. Butet also had to accept the bitter pill, when the mother said that her father would return to live with them.

Maybe for the mother, getting back together is the way out of all problems. The children again have a full family, he is also not underestimated by the environment just because he lives without a husband. Without the mother thinking, the traces of violence are imprinted in the child's memory.

At first Butet could not accept his father. It took Butet a long time to get back in touch with his father. Until one night, his mother came to him and spoke to him with four eyes.

"Tet,"

Butet who was studying, also turned his head and looked at the mother carefully.

"Yes nang,"

"Someone wants the host to talk to you first."

"What nang?"

"Your problem,"

Butet fell silent, and he put down his pen and sat down beside his mother, who was sitting on Butet's couch.

"Why apparently?" Ask Butet who now looks uncomfortable.

"Tet, why can't you accept your amang? He has changed Tet" said the mother, continuing to look closely at Butet.

Butet returned the mother's gaze, then he was only able to sigh deeply, without saying a word.

"Look at you now, he's willing to make a living, even if he's just a fisherman. He also rarely goes out at night and gets drunk. He plays with your brothers more often."

"That's according to the host. If for me, amang same as the old cake."

"Tet, after all, he's your badass. The rhino we can do, other than apologize to your amang. Give him a chance, if he goes back crazy, you're free to throw him out of this house" said the mother, leaving Butet stunned and looking carefully at his mother.

"Why did the host sincerely accept the amang, after he beat the host and cheated on the host?" Ask Butet.

The host let out a long breath. Then he rubbed Butet's cheeks gently.

"My son, we can't get divorced unless we die. God gives us a chance. If he wants to change, why can't we imitate God's love? Host please, give your amang a chance. Love God in our lives. If he cannot change, let God punish him. The hand of God is more worthy to teach a lesson."

Butet's breath felt tight, when he saw the nature of love in the mother. Slowly Butet nodded, even with a bitter cry.

"Respect him as your amang. Look at his good attitude at the moment. He will try for all of us. That's why the host wants to go back to your amang. He has shown that he really wants to change. You see, right now, we've got a television, we've got a motorcycle. Amang mu also began to build a room for your sisters who are now starting to grow teenagers. Your charity is also now always giving the host some shopping money."

"My son. Your change of heart is not just because he regrets what he did. But it is God who moves his heart and leads him back home to us." Connect host.

Butet looked at his mother's eyes with tears in his eyes. Without a word, he hugged his mother tightly while crying bitterly.

from then on, Butet began to communicate with his father. Although their family returned cheerful and seemed happy, but the trauma was inherent in Butet.

Yes, domestic violence. Infidelity, the father who left the mother only for the sake of another woman. Physical violence against children and difficult economic conditions that make the mother forced to work hard for the sake of her children. Maybe for some men it is unnecessary to think about, after he got an apology from his wife. But what's up with the kid who's been through it all?

Trauma, of course.
