“Good day kids!” greet the teacher to his students.
“Good day, Bu.” Answer the students simultaneously.
“Well please sit down, children.this time I want to tell you, that soon the headmaster will hold a class hike.”
“As in previous years, this year's class upgrade event, will reward the students with top rank.”
“And not only that of course, after the awards session, you can enjoy a variety of foods and play at will.”
“For that mom will share her invitations one by one with you. And remember, the invitation has to get to your parents, okay?”
“Yes, Bu.”
The teacher began to call one by one his students to take the invitation.
“What's wrong with you Zihan?” asked Altan who saw the gloomy face of Zihan.
“No papa, I'm just a little bored,” reply Zihan.
“You're not happy, huh?”
“No, I'm quite happy, I just feel bored, Altan.”
“Oh, so.” Altan immediately returned to his seat.
When the called Zihan turned forward, the boy immediately got up and went to the teacher's table.
“Mu teacher, may I not if I request two invitations?” asked Zihan hesitated.
The middle-aged woman also smiled, “Yes, of course, this take.”
“Thank you, Mom,” reply Zihan while welcoming the two envelopes from the arms of the teacher's mother.
...****************...
After school, Zihan went straight to Shazia's restaurant. He unhesitatingly changes his uniform and helps Shazia work.
But this time before helping Shazia, Zihan first called his father. While the phone was still ringing, he was so impatient waiting for his reply, his eyes could not help but stare at the two invitations in his hand.
“Hello, papa, it's me. Papa the day after tomorrow there will be a class increase, said the mother teacher of the parents must attend. Papa will come?”
“Sorry Zihan, I can't attend, there's an important meeting I have to do the day after tomorrow. You can understand Dad, right?”
Zihan was silent, his eyes twinkled, he just turned off the phone. Zihan placed one of the invitations in his bag, and started to step away to the bottom floor.
As long as Shazia helped work, her expression was always gloomy, there was no pleasure on her face, even until the restaurant closed that day.
Shazia, who saw him, came over to Zihan who was cleaning the table.
“Zihan what's wrong with you, baby? Aunty look since you came, your face is moody, why?” ask Shazia.
“Auntie, if I tell you that, will you help me?”
“Depending on the problem, if it is not too difficult maybe aunty can help.”
“Auntie, can not aunt come to the class increase event held at my school the day after?”
“Why did you take aunt? Didn't you come with your father?”
“Papa's busy, Aunty. Please, can you come, Aunty?” pinta Zihan's.
Shazia sighed, “I'm sorry auntie, Zihan. Aunty can't come, you know for yourself how the restaurant is, forgive aunt, yes Zihan.” Reply to Shazia while holding onto Zihan's shoulder.
Zihan immediately brushed off Shazia's arm, “Aibi is just like papa, always busy, I think Aunty can understand me but in fact!” Zihan turned around, and ran upstairs.
Before Shazia caught up with him upstairs, Zihan had already gone down with his bag.
“Zihan where do you want to go, honey?” Shazia immediately followed in Zihan's footsteps who went outside the restaurant.
“Zihan, sorry auntie dear!”
At the same time that Zihan's pickup car arrived in front of the restaurant, Zihan immediately entered his car without saying goodbye, and Shazia also did not have time to follow the child's steps.
In front of the tightly shut car door, Shazia returns to make her apology, but Zihan still doesn't listen.
“Zihan forgive aunty, aunty really can't come,” Shazia said as he tapped on the car glass.
The driver, who saw the incident, immediately apologized to Shazia.
"Sorry, Miss. If the young master is being rude to you, sometimes his attitude is too difficult to understand,” said the driver.
Shazia, who was standing at the door of the car, nodded slowly with guilt.
"Yes, not papa uncle."
"Zihan, forgive aunty, yes.”
There was no answer from inside. The car started walking away after the driver said hello and said goodbye.
Shazia let out a long sigh, after Zihan's death he felt empty, his body felt heavy to go back into the restaurant.
Why is your attitude different this time? Shazia
...****************...
Later that night, Zihan is having dinner with his grandparents. Because of the events of this afternoon, the boy looked gloomy.
“Zihan, my grandson, what happened? Why does your face look moody?” ask Derya.
“Grandfather, will you be able to come to my school's class?” asked Zihan with a face full of hope.
Derya and Defne looked at each other, both of whom also had business that could not be left that day. The association of the elderly parents they attended had a party, and both had to be present there.
“Yes, my granddaughter, Grandpa and grandma, unfortunately, you can't come, on the same day, the group that your grandfather and grandmother joined is having a party, and we have to go to the party they're having,” reply grandfather with guilty face.
“Zihan, grandma hope you can understand, if the event is not held at the same time, then your grandmother and grandfather will be very happy to attend your class increase, my granddaughter,” says Defne explains.
Zihan was silent, his feelings began to rage between anger and sadness, he realized what was the reason for his position in the house? Everyone refused to get close to him.
“What because I'm an illegitimate child*am you never want to deal with me, what's that why?” Zihan wiped his tears and left the dining table.
“Zihan where did you learn such words? We love you very much. Why can you say that!” screamed Defne who started to stand up from his chair.
“Calm, Defne. Don't yell like that at a time like this we can't talk to him, he won't listen to us. Let him calm his feelings,” said Derya calms the wife and told her to sit back.
“Derya, until when does this situation keep going? Until when is the relationship in this house always tenuous?”
“I don't seem to know them, who is Taran and who is Zihan? The more I try to understand about them, the more I get away from them, Derya,” complained the wife.
“Already Defne, one day everything will definitely change,” reply Derya while hugging Defne.
In his room, Zihan sat behind the door, crying, how much everyone cared so much about him.
“What is my request quite difficult? I only asked for your care and presence for a moment, is it so difficult?”
“Busy, busy, and must understand. Why do I always have to understand the busyness of those who at all times?”
