The Injured
Iyan's Subtraction

After the events at Tere's house, Echa believes little about the invisible. Tere was like a madman that night. Eventually, Tere was taken out of the country by his papa to seek treatment there.

For the past three nights, Echa had always seen Aleesa waving at the mango tree from behind the glass door. Aleesa laughed to himself sometimes as well. Curiosity approached Echa.

"Sa's brother," call Echa.

Aleesa immediately turned to look at Echa and smiled. Echa approached him and squatted down before Aleesa.

"Let's see what?" Just a smile Aleesa gave.

"Is there a Devandra there?" Again, only a smile is the answer to Echa's question.

"He won't answer, Brother." Iyan also spoke.

Then, Echa approached her younger brother. Sitting next to Iyan who was still focused with the gadget in her hand.

"Aleesa is saying hello to who?" echa asked with a glance at Aleesa who continued to wave her hand.

"That's Om Uwo mango tree waiter. He was very happy to invite Aleesa to play and joke," Iyan replied without letting go of his gaze on the gadget.

"Om Uwo what's a creature?" Just this time Echa was curious about invisible creatures.

"Kayak king Khong, brother. Hairy black bushy face serem." Echa's feathers begin to bristle. There was fear surrounding him now.

"Don't be afraid, Om Uwo knows the limits. Iyan's friends will never enter the house unless Mother allows it" he explained.

Mom, Radit once talked about mom. Who did Iyan call that mother?

"If you can tell, who is that mother? Brother once said that to Brother," he said.

Iyan put down her gadget, she stared at Echa's bead eyes lovingly.

"A gentle figure like a big brother" he said with a smile.

"meaning?"

"Mother is the guardian of the big tree in our old house. Iyan knows Jojo's mother."

"Jojo's? Who else?" Echa was really made dizzy by Iyan.

"Jojo is Iyan's friend. He always goes with Iyan wherever Iyan goes. He will also protect Iyan if there are bad people. He was also the one who saved Iyan when Iyan was hot high up in the stuffy warehouse" he explained.

"From Jojo it was Iyan who knew mother. A very gentle figure who always gives sincere affection to Iyan even though Iyan does not get affection from Iyan's biological mother. Mother always hummed and gently rubbed Iyan's hair like her son before going to bed. I was always there when Iyan was lonely. Accompanying Iyan to play and also learn," he said.

Echa's heart ached hearing the speech of his youngest sister. The lack of affection from her biological mother makes Iyan have to experience something like this.

"Did Iyan move here?" Iyan shook his head. "Mother only came here when Iyan called out to her. I'm still in the old place because I also have a lot of friends there. I don't want to move out of my old house."

Echa gently rubbed Iyan's head with a very sick heart.

"Cattle Sister is just like the soft caress of mother's hand. Mother's soft voice was able to make Iyan calm down."

It was sad that Echa heard it. He hugged Iyan's body very tightly.

"Sister don't cry. Iyan is okay," said Iyan, gently rubbing Echa's tears.

"Mother is next to Brother." Echa's eyes widened to hear the words of Iyan.

"The smell of jasmine signifies the mother coming. I came to thank you to my sister." Iyan extended her hand to Echa. A small nod signifies that Echa must welcome a helping hand. When Echa's hand was tied to Iyan's, Echa's eyes glazed over to see the figure beside her.

That figure is not creepy. She was wearing a clean white shirt, her hair was beautifully stroked with shaded eyes. A smile that continued to be etched beautifully on her beautiful face.

"Thank you for taking care of Iyan" said Echa, who had no power to restrain her.

"Iyan is a special child. I'll keep looking after Iyan until he can really take care of himself. Iyan still needs me. You don't mind if I take care of her and your beautiful daughter?" The soft voice made anyone who heard it feel calm.

"I don't care if it's important you don't hurt my daughter." The woman laughed.

"I could never hurt your daughter. However, your daughter could harm a creature like us. Hence, all the creatures in this house are afraid of your daughter. They chose to leave rather than have to deal with your daughter" he explained.

Echa smiled at the woman and thanked her a lot. Iyan's hand he released because his energy was almost exhausted. He leaned his body on the head of the sofa.

"Mother's beautiful, yeah." Iyan just nodded.

After meeting her mother, Echa begins to believe in the invisible figure who protects Iyan. Plus the three children seemed comfortable spending their day under the mango tree. Aleesa was happy there. Laugh and run alone. Aleena and Aleeya were engrossed in cooking toys.

"Emang not tired yet?" The three of them answered not in unison.

Echa looked up at the tree. The tree is said to be home to Iyan's companions.

Is it true that there are residents here?

A white rose fell in front of Echa. Surprised for sure. He was under a mango tree not in front of a flower garden.

"Nga li Dev" said Aleesa.

(Flower from Dev)

"Devs?" Aleesa nodded slowly.

"Men tata Sa" Aleesa added

(Color Sa's Team)

"Did Brother Na and Dedek Ya see Dev?" Aleesa.

"What's a naughty Dev?" Aleesa nodded again.

"Aik, Dev aik ya, Dev," Aleesa said, looking to her right where there was no one.

From today on, Echa should be able to understand Aleesa's privileges. He will also ask the husband to direct the privileges of his second daughter. After they got tired of playing, they took Echa inside. Not forgetting Aleesa waved at the mango tree as if bidding farewell.

As usual they will put their dirty toys outside. While they wait in line to wash their hands and feet in the water tap that is next to the yard.

"Mom, wear out," said Aleeya.

The three Echa children are in the sleeping position indicating they want to take a nap. A bottle of milk was already in their hands. My eyes they're already visible. Without waiting for long, their eyes closed. Echa kissed her three children's eyebrows alternately. His heart was at peace when he saw his children like this. Echa is a very lucky mother who has given birth to a child who will be a protector for her small family. Aleesa Addhitama, the second daughter of Echa who has the privilege.

At night, when Echa's children are asleep and Radit is still struggling in his study, Echa enters Iyan's room. His sister was working on PR.

"What is Brother bothering?" Iyan turned towards the older brother with a happy smile.

"No, really. Iyan did PR first, brother." Echa gently rubbed the head of her beloved sister.

If, Echa saw Iyan there would be tears dripping down her cheeks. The child who witnessed the passing of the mother with his own eyes. The invisible child cries when the mother leaves. Rian Dwi Putra Juanda.

"What's up, brother?" Iyan's voice made Echa immediately remove the end of her already watery eyes.

"Can't you do something?"

"About mom?" sergeant Iyan. Echa shaking.

"Iyan never met Mother. Iyan also did not know where Mother was. Said Mother, who knows the existence of Mother only Devandra."

"Have you asked Dev that?" Iyan nodded. "Dev will never answer. If, that question Iyan throws Dev will disappear."

Echa's forehead shrunk to hear the words of Iyan. "Is Dev angry?"

"Said Om Uwo, if Dev is sad Dev will go to his father's house. Will cry together there." Echa's heart is like a sharp dagger. Pain in hearing Iyan's words.

"I don't know, if Dev is sad his face will change like he died." Echa's eyes are patterned on hearing Iyan's explanation.

"Eat him, he didn't want to scare Aleesa. He wanted to look handsome in front of Aleesa" Iyan explained.

Echa did not see clearly how Dev's condition when he died. However, he hears from Radit that part of Dev's body was destroyed. Naturally until now Satria is still sad about the departure of Devandra.

"Iyan, said Bang Radit there were two small children guarding Aleesa. Is true?" Iyan nodded.

"Who's the kid?"

"Iyan doesn't know. We could not see the faces of the children. His face was only a bright white light with a very clean white robe. They had always been beside Aleesa being Aleesa's protector. Mother said Aleesa's guard was Ambar's son."

"Any child?" reset Echa.

"Yes, the child who miscarried was called Ambar's child. Ambar's son guarantees heaven. He said Ambar's son could also help his parents in the afterlife. Did you ever miscarry?" Echa nodded.

"But .. his brother the triplets are just one," explained Echa.

Iyan smiled then, gently rubbing the brother's hand. However, there was a shadow that showed his brother being surrounded by people dressed in green and everyone outside looking angry. Iyan immediately let go of his grasp and kept it a secret.

I hope it's not a bad sign.

"What's wrong with you, Yan?" Iyan smiled and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, if you ask a lot of questions" said Echa.

"It's okay, Brother. Iyan was even happy because it was not only Brother who believed in Iyan's advantages."

Echa hugged the body of her sister tightly. Gently rubbed Iyan's back and promised in her heart to love Iyan like her own child.

After Echa came out of Iyan's room. Jojo sat next to Iyan with his warm smile.

"Your brother is good," he said.

"I know."

Iyan paused for a moment, then stared intently at Jojo.

"Jo, when I held onto Brother Echa's hand. It looks like Echa is surrounded by doctors. My other family looks very angry. That what does that mean, Jo? My brother wouldn't do anything, would he?" Jojo smiled without giving an answer.

"Jo, answer my question?" Iyan Palsa.

"You're a special kid. There's a lot you have other than being able to see creatures like me" Jojo said.

"meaning?"

"Later you'll understand for yourself what I mean." Jojo disappeared making Iyan snort annoyed.

Iyan was still sitting by the bed. He looked towards the nightstand. Where there are photos of the four families. Minus the first brother.

"Iyan wants to meet Mommy" he explained.

Iyan hugged the photo, not feeling a clear circle dripping just so wet his face.

However Amanda's treatment of Iyan was, it was unable to make Iyan hate the woman who had given birth to her into the world. He still remembers his very simple desire, which is to want to be embraced by the mother. What a pity Iyan's fate. Not yet feeling it, the mother has gone for ever.

Are you not sad?

The question of all the people to him, when the mother was filled with land.

"It's not that Iyan's not sad. Iyan just didn't want to see Father and Sister Ri getting sadder," he murmured.

Iyan got up from his seat and put his butt in the study desk chair. A blank piece of paper and a pen were already in front of Iyan.

Mother ...

Can't Mommy show Mother's spirit in front of Iyan? Iyan wants to see Mommy. Iyan miss Mother.

*When Iyan can see invisible creatures. Why can't Iyan see and see Mommy? Why is it that only Dev can see Mother? Why Mother?

Iyan has been a submissive child, never out of the house. Iyan never denied the words of Brother and Father, but why did Mother not come too? Does Mommy still hate Iyan? What is wrong Iyan Bunda*?

When Iyan misses mother, Iyan can only look at the photos of the four of us. That's all Iyan has. Iyan does not have many memories with Mother. Mother always spent time with Sister Ri. While with Iyan ... ?

Mother always said, Iyan boy. Iyan can't be spoiled. Must be able to be independent do not crybaby. Iyan has done that Mother, Iyan please tolonv show the spirit of Mother ...

(Tear drops wet the paper)

Iyan was always envious when Mommy was present in Kak Ri's dream. Why are Mothers still choosing love? Iyan is also the daughter of Mother. Iyan dear Mother. Iyan never hates Mother even though Mother always discriminates Iyan.

The little hand could no longer write. She cried while bowing her head on the table. His tears washed the paper.

"Iyan kangen Mommy," he said.

There was a time when Iyan would be fragile like this. However, Iyan's fragility is unknown to his family. Only Jojo and Mom know. They'll let Iyan like this. Crying until she sleeps. When Iyan cries, Dev disappears. It was marked Dev also felt the same way as what Iyan felt.

Echa and Radit who were sleeping were shocked by the throwing of jasmine flowers on their bodies. The smell of jasmine deeply pierced the noses of the two of them. The feathers begin to bristle and Echa grasps Radit's hand firmly.

"Mother? Why are you bothering us?" Radit said slowly.

Suddenly Radit's room door opens on its own making Echa even more frightened. On the floor scattered jasmine flowers like a trace. Radit invites Echa to get out of bed and out of the room. Sure enough, jasmine was like the path that the two of them had to follow. The jasmine stopped in front of Iyan's room. Radit looked towards Echa and answered a nod by her.

The two of them did not see Iyan on the bed. However, their eyes widened when they saw Iyan was asleep in a sitting state with a desk bearing study. Echa who wants to wake Iyan is forbidden by Radit. Radit moved Iyan's body very carefully onto the bed.

The fall of the pen place on the study table made Echa a little surprised. He tried to tidy up and he saw a wet paper with handwriting that Echa recognized.

Word by word Echa read. Her chest is so tight. Her tears were unstoppable. The outpouring of the heart of his beloved sister that no one knows. Radit who returned to Echa was shocked to see his wife crying.

"Why?" Echa showed Radit a paper. Not being able to speak was what Radit felt.

A book falls out of place and displays the writing TASK.

Tell me about your mother.

Mother is an amazing woman. It has given birth to me in this world. He took care of me with great affection. Although I did not feel the warm caress of his hand, but I knew Mother also loved me. Now, mommy's not with me anymore. Mother was already in heaven there with my sister. I love mom. Wait for me in heaven Mother.

The book slipped out of Echa's hand because she couldn't read it. He spilled his sorrow in Radit's arms. Radit stared softly at the sleeping Iyan with a trace of tears still visible.

"I didn't know Iyan was this bad" said Echa.
