Space And Time

Space And Time
Full-fledged


I was so jealous of the full moon in its darkness and its solitude, it was able to emit a bright light without expecting anything in return from the universe. The full moon seemed so happy to share its light with those who longed for love.


 


The silence of the starless night and only the full moon that adorned the sky of the world, was being stared at by a pair of beautiful eyes in silence. His gaze was so deep as if it was conveying hope to the moon to be conveyed to God.


"Lord... My love is still the same, please give me happiness." He said without taking his eyes off the full moon.


He turned from the spot where he was looking at the moon to a bed on which he had seen a middle-aged woman sleeping.


He looked at the middle-aged woman for quite a while, it was very obvious that she had such a deep sadness on her face, she said, he tried to hold back the tears that almost fell even though there was no one around him because he did not want to look weak that night.


He brought his face closer to the sleeping middle-aged woman then gently rubbed his hair before saying, "Ma, quickly recover and come back like I missed you so much." He said with a slightly trembling tone.


A moment later a faint smile graced his face, "I go home first, tomorrow I'll be here again huh, Ma." He said he kissed the middle-aged woman slowly and carefully so that she would not wake up from her sleep.


Then he walked out of the room and closed the door carefully to minimize the sound of the room door.


When he turned around he was immediately startled by a middle-aged man despite his age was no longer young but the man's body was still fresh and sturdy, it turned out that the man had been watching him while still in the room where the door was still open so that the man was very able to pay attention from outside the room.


"Eee I-I just want to see Mama." Answer with a little fear.


"I've told you so many times right, don't meet your Mama while she's still in that state!!!" This time the voice of the middle-aged man was slightly higher than before.


As strong as she was, she was just an ordinary girl who was weak and could not be snapped at at all, let alone that snapped at her were her own biological parents.


"But Pa, I saw Mama when Mama was asleep so Mama didn't see me." He tried to defend himself with honesty.


"Dare to fight me you, huh?!" The middle-aged man's hand was already floating in the air preparing to land on the girl's cheek.


The girl tried to protect her face with both hands, but what she was afraid of never happened, she slowly glanced towards the middle-aged man's hand and the one she saw, the man's hand just hung in the air.


The girl was so frightened, even to breathe she was so careful, she was eager to leave from before the middle-aged man, yet her legs felt extremely limp not being able to move in the slightest. The result was that he could only wait for the middle-aged man to leave. This is the life he lived almost every day, without a smile without laughter and without happiness, which there was only misery as he lived in the hell of his own home. What power, he wanted to escape just that his courage was unable to take him away.


"Go! This time I'll forgive you, if I see you're still trying to see him again, I won't hesitate to take your freedom." Said the middle-aged man then after a silence was created between the two.


The girl did not reply, she just nodded her head slowly then went towards her room. There was a cry that he hid behind his silence that he hated himself so much, because he judged that he was the reason behind the destruction of this family.
