Suppose that... (Turnable Time)
Not lucky since the old days

At night, when both Princess Yumna had fallen asleep and Galang who still had not returned from work, Yumna sat in silence while contemplating her own fate.

Since childhood, since the death of his parents. Yumna began to feel that no one else was paying attention and caring about her.

Yumna remembered well even when her mother left there was no hug or kiss goodbye.

" Where is your mom going?" Yumna asked as she watched her mother pack her clothes and put them in a large backpack.

" Mommy wants to work you stay here with your sister."

Yumna was about 10, and Yumna's sister was about a few months old.

" Who would my mom work with?" Ask Yumna.

" Stt, you've been staying here with your grandparents. Take good care of your sister."

" but...."

" Hope, don't be chatty."

" All right." Yumna said as she lowered her head, holding back her tears from falling down.

Mother then immediately went outside the house carrying a large backpack because she had been waiting for her friend.

Yumna could only stare at her mother's departure from the window. Then after the mother completely disappeared from eye reach, Yumna immediately went back into the room.

" Where are you going, son?" Ask Grandma who was holding Yumna's sister.

" Want to close the window I forgot to close it." Yumna told a lie.

" Yes already, then quickly close and then we will eat after that come with grandma to say goodbye to grandma's employer."

Yumna simply replied to grandma with a nod. Then Yumna immediately went into the room and closed the door and locked it.

Yumna began to close the window of the room, grain after grain of tears dripping down her cheeks. Yumna was so sad. Either she was sad because of the mother's departure, or because of something else. But clearly, at that time Yumna was unable to hold back.

" Mama.., hiks.."

Yumna's cry grew even more so when she finished closing the window and found her mother's clothes on the bed.

" Hiks hyks..."

Yumna immediately hugged her mother's clothes and cried. Yumna did not understand why the mother also left after her father left with the woman who she said was the second mother of Yumna who already had a son.

" I have no one else. Who do I live with?" Lirih Yumna's.

Tok

Tok

Tok

Chequek.

" Yumna.."

The grandmother who entered the room was very surprised when she found Yumna crying while hugging her mother's clothes.

Grandma hugged Yumna.

" It's okay you still have grandma and grandpa. Don't cry anymore." Said the grandmother trying to calm Yumna.

" Hiks hyks hyks.."

" Sttt, let's eat and grandma will take a walk to the town square will you?" Persuade Grandma.

With weight Yumna finally nodded. Grandma smiled then immediately took Yumna to the dining table.

After finishing eating. Grandma and Grandpa invited Yumna to go to the grandmother's master's house.

Yes, previously grandmother worked as a maid in one of the Chinese houses.

After saying the reason why the grandmother stopped working as a maid in the house.

Grandma immediately took Yumna to the town square and bought her the toy that Yumna wanted.

Days change, years change. Yumna lives a life without the affection of her parents. Yumna's grandfather and grandmother were busy making cakes and taking care of Yumna's sister.

" Look, that's my shirt."

" Well, I just bought a bike with my dad."

" Well cool."

Yumna could only look and listen to her playmates talk to each other about the new stuff they got.

Yumna was never lucky in anything, be it friends or in the game.

If playing, Yumna is always the cat made by her friends.

At school, Yumna was quieter than playing with her friends. Because his friends always show off new things and take him to school. As for Yumna?, let alone for new things. Supplies to school or pocket money for snacks Yumna never brought it.

It did not feel her tears flowing as she recalled the events of her childhood.

" It's just right I always wanted to play games when I drove the kids to the playground. Maybe because I didn't feel the golden days of being a kid." Lirih Yumna's.

Yumna then kissed her two daughters who were sound asleep. Hope they will not feel the pain that Yumna used to experience.

Yumna is willing to survive this marriage for the happiness of her two daughters. I hope that what happened to Yumna will not happen again to her children.

Where Yumna became a broken home child. Life without the affection of both parents, and the loss of a period of being a child that should be filled with happiness.

" Where are you going?" Ask Ilmi who saw Galang had gone home to work, even though it was still day.

" I want to teach, I want to teach. Who's going to stop?" Ask Ilmi with a sad face.

" It's Sunday now, and his salary's still off. Tomorrow we're in."

" Oh. Yes, I went fishing there. Got a big fish yeah, if you don't get fish don't go home." Celeste Ilmi.

" Yes." Yeah."

After getting fishing gear and other items. We'll be back out soon.

Yumna simply fell silent and did not respond or speak to Galang because Yumna was sleeping with Akifa.

Yumna chose to sleep instead of thinking about Galang.

After going to bed, Yumna immediately did routine household chores every afternoon.

Starting at night, Galang came home but did not bring anything.

" How come you don't get fish?" Ilmi asked when she found out that the bucket carried by Galang remained empty.

" Yes, my fish love Om Upin."

" Well, I'd love to."

" Father's little fish can't get big fish so I just give it to my dad's friend."

" Yes already."

Yumna who was doing the dishes in the back, just turned her head and listened to the conversation between father and son.

Either Galang really fishing or not. But every time Galang bamitan fishing, when he came home he never brought fish.

Evening arrived, if usually after dinner Galang will rest for a while and then return to work.

But it's been 3 days every night Galang never left for work again. Yumna also lazily asked the reason why Galang did not work. Although Yumna actually wanted to know what the cause of Galang who did not go to work at night, and just relax while playing mobile phones and watching TV.

" Where?" Mama Elsa asked when Yumna was accompanying Akifa who was eating a snack on the terrace of Yumna's room.

" Inside." Yumna said in a soft voice.

" Not work?" Mama Elsa also with a soft voice.

Yumna.

" Yes that means a lot of money stock."

" Ck, if it's a lot of money, I won't be confused for shopping." Lirih Yumna for fear that Galang heard it.

" It's the same as my man. From yesterday he said he was tired and wouldn't work for a few days."

" Hmm, yesterday I knew someone was here to offer Galang a job. When I asked him why his job was not taken, Galang said if the job is heavy and takes a long time."

" How come the old or fast work should be done or taken into account for additional money to buy rice right?"

" I don't know what to say anymore."

" Try you're angry that he doesn't work. I'm the same husband, at home I'm the most chatty. All that I just do to keep my finances running smoothly." Mama Elsa's.

" Yes you're delicious. If I'm that, it could break out into a world war."

The next day....

Yumna cooks as is adjusting the expenses with the money left in her wallet. Yumna was a little sad because of the soap and also the needs of akifa began to run out.

There was no other option for Yumna other than to reuse the money she had collected to pay the registration fee of Ilmi's school which was only a few months away.

"Hmm, the money is only 2 pieces of blue. If I take 1 then there's only one sheet." Yumna said when she found the money for Ilmi's school only 2 pieces remained.

Yumna was confused as to how, because she had repeatedly taken money from Ilmi's savings.

" Yes already while I use it first, hopefully before registration I can feel the income from me writing so I can pay the registration fee of Ilmi school." Lirih Yumna's.

Yumna then invited Akifa and Ilmi to shop for their needs at the store opposite the boarding house.

Her afternoon....

around 4am central Indonesia time. Galang came home and seemed to be in a hurry to pick up something and said to Yumna who had just woken up.

" Ilmi will deliver njai. I want a bird race first."

Yumna just fell silent and stared at the departure of Galang who had been waiting for his friend.

" Sheep.."

Yumna yelled and cursed at Galang. He has money for the bird race but no money if Yumna asks him to shop.

" Oh my God, I'm so tired. May I give up now, but I have nowhere to lean so where should I go home and lean?. On the other hand I also do not want my children to suffer the fate like me, divorce parents are very negative for children. I don't want my children to suffer the fate of being lost to a golden age in childhood. But I also cannot continue to survive in this situation. I should how?"

Yumna wiped away the tears that came from the corner of her eyes, there was nothing Yumna could do. Talking to Galang is also useless. Heart-to-heart talk also quarrels. Direct quarrel will also make Yumna more hurt. But if Galang continues to be left then he will remain that way.

Yumna could really do nothing.

Sometimes he regretted that he did not have the courage to oppose Galang just for fear of losing both of his children.
