Stain (Mirror Cracked)
Kuper Girl
In a school, in one of the sizable cities in Indonesia.
The students were sitting under a tree during the break.
“You're coming with Jihan tonight to Yuni's birthday party?” ask Rani a close friend of Jihan.
“I'm still confused Ran,” replied Jihan still looks doubtful.
“What are you confused about Jihan?” ask Rani again.
“I'm not sure if allowed with my mother because the show was night,” explained Jihan.
“Indeed why if the show was night.”
“My mom won't let me out tonight.”
“But we will go with another friend.”
“You don't know how my mom is. Everywhere I'm always watched and always banned, let alone go party nights like this.”
Rani thought for a moment. “Atau gini aja Jihan. What if you lie to your mother,” said Rani.
“What do you mean Rani, I don't understand.”
“You said that you were staying at my house. Because my parents are out of town.”
“I dare not lie Rani, later kualat loh..”
“You are too honest. Sometimes lying is okay for good,” said Rani trying to influence Jihan.
Jihan who is afraid of sin can only be silent to think about the words of Rani close friends. Actually she really wanted to go to Yuni's birthday party but she was afraid to tell her mother because she wasn't sure if her mother would allow it.
“Ya this is it Jihan. Tomorrow after school I come to your house let me excuse your mother to take you to sleep in my house.”
“True to your idea, Rani. If you're the one who invited me to stay at your house, maybe my mother agrees.”
Jihan who is the daughter of Mr. Fitra is a very innocent and famous-alim girl at his school. Every time her friends go for a walk or hang out, Jihan never wants to come along with the reason she has to go home on time.
If it was a little late, her mother would be angry. Even everywhere Jihan is always monitored by her mother and father.
This sometimes made Jihan feel upset herself. He felt treated like a child. Her mother's concern is that Jihan's older sister Santi has passed away while in the second grade of High School.
Santi is a cheerful girl who often goes out with her friends. Ms. Rita who is Jihan's mother always gives freedom to Santi wherever Santi goes. Until one day Santi left the house and would go to his friend's house and Rita's mother allowed him. But until the night Santi did not go home to make Miss Rita and Mr. Bambang feel very worried. Then Mr. Bambang reported this to the police so that all residents sought the whereabouts of Santi.
When the next day Santi was found dead in the bushes near his house. After investigation it turns out Santi when returning home from his friend was raped by street men and then killed.
Since then, Miss Rita and Mr. Bambang have always been watching Jihan's whereabouts. Even if Jihan - back from school - is late then Miss Rita and Mr. Bambang feel very worried. This is why Miss Rita always forbids Jihan from going anywhere. Even go and go home from college Jihan is always escorted and picked up by Rita's own mother. The worry of Rita and Bambang is caused by the death of his daughter named Santi.
***
Once home from college in accordance with Rani and Jihan's plan that Rani come to Jihan's house to ask her mother's permission to sleep in her house. Although Jihan was hesitant about this plan, Jihan could not refuse Rani's advice.
As soon as the front of Jihan's house, looks like Rita's mom is watering flowers.
“Assalamualaikum Ma...” greet Jihan and Rani.
“Waalaikumsalam..” reply bu Rita friendly.
Then Jihan and Rani sat in Rita's bed.
“Come please enter Rani,” said bu Rita friendly.
“Sorry Mom, Rani wants to hurry..”.
“Why in a hurry. Sit down to chat here,” invite bu Rita.
Rani immediately smiled in response to the words of her mother Jihan.
“Rani want to ask permission from mom..” said Rani cut off.
Rani hesitates to continue her words because in her little heart she feels sinful for lying to her mother Jihan.
“Request permission what it means..” asked bu Rita a little confused while paying attention to the look on Rani's face.
“Begini mom. Rani wants to invite Jihan to stay at Rani's house because Rani's parents are going out of town,” explained Rani.
“Oh... Who is Rani at home with?” ask Rita ma'am.
“Rani alone at home Bu.”
“Indeed Rani has no siblings?”
Rani shook her head.
“Means Rani single child?” ask Rita again.
“Iya Bu, Rani is an only child so that papa and mama go usually Rani with bi Sumi. But currently bi Sumi is returning home because her grandson is sick,” explained Rani.
Hearing Rani's words, Rita finally can not refuse because she feels sorry for Rani who lives in her own home.
“Yes if it's like that it's okay. But one night, right?” ask Rita again.
“Iya Bu one night only because tomorrow papa and mama are home.”
Finally after getting permission from Rita's mother, Rani and Jihan went straight to Rani's house.
Along the way to Rani's house, Jihan and Rani just keep quiet. Both of them feel sorry for lying to Rita to come to Yuni's birthday party.
‘Pardon Jihan ma'am if you have to lie to mom because Jihan is eager to come to Yuni's birthday party. During this time the mother never gave freedom to Jihan to gather with friends Jihan,’ inner Jihan.
Although Jihan has received permission from her mother but in her small heart still feel guilty for lying to her mother. But if he didn't lie like this for sure he would never be able to attend his friend's birthday party.
Actually, Jihan felt inferior when gathering with her classmates because all her classmates already knew that Jihan was a girl who was less sociable and also famous for making male friends did not dare to approached him.
In fact, not infrequently his friends who always insinuate him if they plan to hang out together. As Dwi said at the time. [If Jihan does not need to be invited because until the apocalypse she will not want to. But if for a new study he wants to come along.]
That's what her classmate Dwi once said when they planned to hang out for a new year's event.
So that in associating Jihan including the person I worked because I never wanted to join. If you join only for group discussion in learning.
