Panic of Ranum

"I'm willing to do anything aunty, if aunty gives me a loan." Ranum is still waiting even though he has been sent off several times by Angel.

Unexpectedly Angel even grabbed Ranum's hair. "Why don't you just sell this worthless body of yours? That way you'll make money without coming to ask for mercy from me!" ketus Angel is getting harder to grab Ranum's hair. "You never hope!" he yelled at Ranum again.

While Ranum who was in the jambak did not fight, he just kept quiet even though Angel jubilant felt very pain in his head. "Tante, help me … ." Ranum's tears had dripped down his cheeks.

An angry Angel slapped Ranum's cheek, and with a quick movement dragging Ranum's skinny body into the yard did not reach there he then took water using a bucket and without warning flushed Ranum's body. Until the sound of Ranum's crying sounds very poignant the universe was a silent witness to how his stepmother was so cruel to him.

After dousing Ranum, Angel threatens Inem. "Don't let Rudy know, if auntie opens her mouth, leave the house!" angel said threatening Inem made Inem's guts shrink instantly. "Hurry and let your child j*l*ng here!" he told Inem to go inside the house.

Inem who had no other choice obeyed Angel's orders even though he felt sorry for Ranum.

Not long after Inem left, Ranum stood up with his clothes already soaked. He also saw Angel leaving from there and heard Angel's voice closing the main door very rudely.

"O Allah, I can no longer swim in the cruelty of the currents of this world" he murmured.

Drizzle began to wet the earth as if to be sad, nature all too describe the sadness of Ranum, he then with a giant step out of the yard so wide.

"My feet no longer seem to be able to walk in the depths of this life Ya Allh." Ranum nodded as he continued walking.

All eyes were on Ranum who might look like a lunatic his clothes were tattered and also drenched. However, it was all he ignored and he still walked against the dinginya of the night. The drizzle that had just suddenly turned into heavy rain plus a flash of lightning struck, making anyone must be afraid to walk under the rain like today but not with Ranum who seems to ignore it all.

"Where else should I look for money? To bring Mom to the hospital," said Ranum Lirih, he really really needed money.

A few hours passed finally Ranum reached his reot hut, he saw the mother was still asleep but there was something strange Ranum saw his mother's face turning pale.

Ranum who felt something was wrong, tried to shake Rita's hand while calling her mother with a trembling voice. "Mother, Mother .. Ma'am," she called me softly. But Rita did not respond at all, causing her to panic.

Without thinking long with a quick movement he came out running to ask for help to his neighbor who had always helped him, so far, his currently wet clothes were not ignored anymore the most important thing for him was how to bring his mother to the hospital even though he did not have any money.

Coincidentally his house is very close to his neighbor therefore, Ranum does not take a long time to be able to quickly reach the neighboring house. He immediately felt a little relieved when he saw the neighboring lights were still on, it indicates the owner of the house had not slept with a shivering body he knocked on the door.

"Bi Ijah, isn't aunt sleeping?" ranum asked as he continued to knock on the door. "Auntie, this is Ranum," he said in a voice that shook as it held back a cry.

Not long ago Ijah opened the door after knowing who came to his house at two in the morning. "Ranum, why are your clothes soaking wet like this, son?" ask Ijah. Who saw Ranum shiver.

"Bu Rita why Ranum, what's the obvious?" Ijah also immediately looked panicked when he saw Ranum shed tears. In that instant he also took an umbrella and rushed to Rita's house but before that he had time to give Ranum a towel.

Ijah is a spinster who never got married, all this time only he was a person who cared about Ranum's family because he felt very sorry to see Rita who was sickly and had to be the backbone for his two daughters, because he felt very sorry to see Rita who was sickly and had to be the backbone for both daughters, because Ranum's father prefers to leave his family for a woman who has everything.

At 22:41 Ramun kept pacing back and forth in front of the mother's hospital room while holding her fussy sister.

While inside Ratih is struggling between death and life. "Oh my God, what should I do?" Ranum's thoughts at this time were no longer strange. He then sat pensively ignoring his sister who continued to cry in her cradle. While remembering the words of his friend named Vira at school a few days ago.

🍃….

Ranum who was sitting alone in the classroom was suddenly approached by his friend named Vira.

"Lu daydreams, Num," said Vira greeting Ranum while sitting next to him.

"Eh Vira, aren't you going to the cafeteria?" ranum asked politely when he saw Vira also sitting down.

"So, it's just back to class and it's for you." Vira gives Ranum two packs of bread, he apparently deliberately bought the bread for Ranum.

Ranum who was actually hungry but embarrassed to take the bread shook his head. "No Vir, you eat by chance I'm full." He refused in a soft voice because he was afraid that Vira would fall away when he would not take the bread.

"Nih take, I know who you are, Num so do not refuse anything that I give including bread that is only two packs of this," said Vira who increasingly offered the two loaves.

As Raum continued to refuse suddenly his stomach rang making Vira immediately smile.

"No, your stomach can't lie," continued Vira so that makes Ranum can not dodge anymore.

Actually, things like this are accustomed to natural Ranum where he often sits alone in class when the break time arrives, he also often held back the pain in his stomach when hunger began to attack.

"Eating gih, do not look at the continued pity of worms in your stomach ask in the contents." Again Vira told Ranum to eat the bread.

Ranum timidly took the bread and said, "Can you help me, Vir?"
