Shanum walked leisurely towards his house. The Earth dropped him off in front of an alley, so Shanum walked alone towards the house. When we arrived at the front of the house, it was already very crowded with people. Shanum rushed into the courtyard and entered the house through a side door.
"Where have you been? You can play games but remember the time!" ami's eyes when Shanum put his shoes on the shoe rack.
Degs...
"Sorry, Ma'am. Shanum played to the house of a friend of Junior High, long time no see so talk long," replied Shanum with a heart pounding for fear.
"Other times when you play at a friend's house look at the time!"
"Yes, Mommy."
"Duhh, almost got my heart out!" inner Shanum while rubbing his chest.
Shanum went straight into the room to store his bag, then brought a change of clothes to the bathroom. After bathing Shanum approached the father who was lying in the living room. Mr. Yanto was deliberately placed there, so it was easy to see if taken care of homework.
Mr. Yanto had a stroke and became paralyzed. Only his right hand can be moved. Even to speak, his voice was unclear. Everything was done by Mr. Yanto on the bed. If you want to sit, you can help because you cannot be alone.
"Sir, I'm sorry Sha came home late" Shanum said, kissing the back of his father's hand.
Mr. Yanto replied with a blink of an eye. Not long ago, Mr. Yanto suddenly cried, so Shanum also cried because he did not know what the father wanted to say.
"Mother why? Where's that sick?" shanum asked with tears.
Mr. Yanto who saw his favorite little girl crying, immediately rubbed the child's head gently. Seen very affection of a father to his favorite daughter.
"Mbaakkkk.." cried Shanum calling his brothers who were behind.
Ma'am Ami is cooking for their dinner later. Mutia was washing dirty clothes that had piled up for several days.
Ma'am Ami rushed to run to Shanum and Mr. Yanto, leaving his cooking.
"What's wrong?" ask Mbak Ami so near Shanum and Pak Yanto.
"Brother why are you crying? What are you saying?" cerca Shanum with tears on her cheeks.
"Oh, you're missing Ragil, sir?" said Mbak Ami addressed to Pak Yanto. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Yanto nodded with water dripping from his eyes.
Shanum was moved and felt guilty to the father so that his tears increasingly flowed down his cheeks. Shanum hugged the father to treat the longing.
"Sha also misses the Father" Shanum said in between his sobs.
Ami went back to the kitchen to continue his cooking. Leaving the son and father who missed.

"Bak heard you were dating. Is that really so?" mbak Mut asked with a serious face and a sharp look.
Shanum was silent with his head bowed in guilt, having broken family rules.
"You're still a little Sha! If you have worked and can be independent it does not matter. Take care of yourself you can not, already dare to date. I'm disappointed in you Sha. Very disappointed!" The face of disappointment is clearly visible. Even the tired murat was imprinted very clearly.
The tired and disappointed face became one, thus making Shanum feel even more guilty. Mutia works hard for their future, even sacrificing her youth for the sake of the family. However, Shanum could not keep his mandate. That is, not dating while still in school.
"Sorry..." Only that word could be said from Shanum's lips with his head bowed.
"Everybody loves Shanum! Because it's too bad for us, we don't want to see you get hurt in the least. Whether it is a physical or an internal wound. A relationship that will one day give a wound, sooner or later. If when you are a teenager you have hurt your mind, how will you be mentally after adulthood?"
"We're just afraid you're hurt, then choose the wrong path to heal that wound. It is not easy to treat the wounds. Moreover, you have a history of physical illness that easily relapses just because of the mind. A cancer patient with heart complications must be completely taken care of physically and thoughtfully."
"We forbid you to date right now, not because we don't love you. Because of our affection, we don't want you to get hurt. Now Ma'am asks you, he already knows yet what hurts you?"
Shanum shook his head because he never told anyone what his illness was. This is because Shanum does not know what he is really sick.
"Shanum didn't know what pain was, so Shanum never answered anyone's questions either. Actually Shanum wanted to ask, Shanum is sick. But Shanum did not dare to ask," said Shanum lirih while looking down.
Mbak Mutia stood beside Shanum, rubbing Shanum's hair affectionately. Then tuck Shanum's hair behind his ear.
"Shanum has to promise! If you know what the pain is, Shanum will follow whatever the words of Mbak Mut. If you can't promise, Mut won't tell Shanum what's sick."
"Yes, Shanum promised!" shanum answered with all his heart.
"The good cells in Shanum's body are currently attacking each other, thus affecting the body's immune system. Good cells should replace damaged cells. The damaged cells are not replaced causing the glandular tissue not to function properly."
"Shanum is affected by glandular cancer, and currently it has affected the performance of the heart. Shanum still remembers Dr Ricko's words, right? Then do what he tells you," explained Mbak Mut with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"A lot of food you can't eat. Do not eat anything other than the food that Mbak Mut or Mbak Ami serve! At first it feels foreign to the tongue. If you eat like that every day, your tongue will get used to it."
"In addition to food, you should also focus on treatment and learning. You will also not be attending school more often. So please, please very much. Don't date anymore! Our family does not want to see you hurt by love" Mbak Mutia asked with a serious face.
"I-iya, Ma'am," Shanum replied.
When he finished, Shanum went into the room. While Mutia sat near Pak Yanto. Mutia took out her laptop and started working. Mutia was working on a report that had not been done in the office because she had to pick up Mr. Yanto from the hospital.
Mutia returned to work at PT MM, still with her old position. Mutia was forced to return to the company because of her large salary. If Mutia works, it is Ami who looks after Mr. Yanto.
Shanum pondered in his room. Think of every word that the brother said. He was confused on how to break with the Earth. Whether his heart would be fine or hurt, Shanum could not imagine it.
