Nightmares (1)
It felt like all his energy was drained to the point that there was not a single percent left. Arin immediately threw his body onto the bed with a gaze full of reluctance to survive. A strange feeling continued to murmur in his chest that felt tight. Even his breathing body was lazy. He only works 4 hours a day, but why does it feel like working for 20 hours. Trying to close your eyes and go to sleep, but the voices of the mind that continue to speak in his brain today are like being in a supermarket that is holding a festival, very noisy.
It felt hungry, thirsty and sleepy, but Arin felt he could not fulfill all three things. Makes him very angry. The feeling of sadness that suddenly appeared like a child being left in the rain without a single person helping him, was quiet as if the earth had lost civilization.
Continued to be sucked into the nightmare hole in the past that suddenly appeared in his brain. Why did he become a child so weak that letting people like him make you worthless. A little boy who wants to have friends, afraid of being abandoned, trying to be a friend even though only as a messenger and always in receiving a hard pinch if he does not want to give him his snacks. Until the poor girl cried she did not want to go to school because she was afraid of the boy who bullied her.
But why did his mother act even more cruel than the children. The poor boy cried, begging not to go to school, but his mother who did not understand him just pulled him while angry like he was pulling a puppy caught stealing food. The poor boy continued to refuse to step on his feet but his mother kept pulling him without trying to understand him first and judged his son who looked only to not want to go to school because he was lazy.
What's wrong with that poor kid to get treated like that. He was just a scared, lonely little boy and just wanted to have friends. But why do they think of him as a child of attention-seekers. Even his body was too small to be pulled in front of the many looking eyes.
The suffering didn't even stop there. From that moment on, the lonely poor boy never had a friend who was truly willing to accept him. Growing up to be a child full of fear left behind by everyone.
The poor boy grew into a more physically mature figure but not with what was inside him — was far confined in a dark cell filled with monsters. Stepping far into the world he thought was so vast, according to what he had imagined. However, he was again dropped by reality. The world of adults is more cruel than a bunch of children who are fighting for a swing on the playground.
“Kak …! Brother Arin ..!!”
A sudden voice woke up the daydream of Arin who was still in the same position — heard the sound of his room door opening.
“Sister! Ooh! Hurry home? I'm hungry, would you like to eat noodles?” ask Anna.
Moving from a lying position. “Mau. Fried noodles use chili and chili powder, I want to eat a spicy-pedes.” said Arin.
“Sister face why already? Pain?” anna asked him to realize something was strange about his sister.
“No, just sleepy but can not sleep.” replied Arin.
“Yes already, I made it. Shower there!! Let's take a minute!!” said Anna, who then closed the door to Arin's room, who returned daydreaming with a blank look.

Arin looks breathless with a face that has been filled with sweat water while eating noodles made by his sister. Several times he gulped down the milk to neutralize the spicy taste that was currently burning his mouth.
“Haff ... haff .. spicy .. haff ... anjir!! It's really bad ...!!” youh Arin who is drunk can not resist the spicy taste in his mouth. Arin kept ruffling and grabbing her hair. Both of his eyes looked red and tears kept flowing.
“Kakak who asked so, I made it according to the request yesa ..” said Anna.
Anna just shook her head in surprise to see her brother.
Moving out of its place. “Kak, later please all clean up yes, I want to take a shower,” said Anna then walked away leaving Arin who was still fighting with her food.
About 20 minutes and Anna again walked to the living room finished bathing. But eyes were silent as he stood in front of the door of his room — saw a table that was still a mess but he did not see the whereabouts of his brother. “Pas she's running away again!! The name has not been given again, he is a habit!!” namel Anna who was upset with her brother who seemed to go without cleaning up food, but she had told him to be cleaned up.
Anna walked closer. Surprisingly he saw a leg lying on the floor, he thought his brother fell asleep without cleaning the table. But as her steps drew closer and tried to wake her brother up, Anna panicked even more as Arin did not respond at all. He even saw noodles spilled on the floor.
“Kak Arin!! Brother Arin!! Wake up!! Is it okay, brother Arin fainted?!” asked Anna, who without thinking, immediately contacted the ambulance because it seemed to be a precarious situation, because her brother still did not respond.

Hara ran as fast as she could after getting word Arin fainted. Running towards the ER room with a face full of worry. But finally he saw the figure of Anna who looked on one of the patient's beds.
“Where is it?” asked Haru with a gasping breath.
“Kak-in-law!!” suddenly Anna was surprised by the arrival of her brother-in-law who looked like a man who had been chased so worried about her brother. “He is not strong eat spicy, late fainting. The doctor said it was severe, but still had to monitor,” Anna said.
“He eats spicy?” ask Haru.
“Tadi indeed we again eat malem, brother Arin asked to make a noodle that is very spicy, at first it is okay, just as I stay in the shower, keep behind kaka Arin was not aware.” says Anna.
Haru could only remain silent unable to comment anymore on Anna's explanation. Staring lovingly at his wife who was lying weakly.
“You go home, this is also malem. Want sister interracial?” ask Haru.
“Neventless. I went home alone. Later if you have woken up I am yes brother,” said Anna.
“Iya. You are carefully on the road yes ..” said Hara.
“Iya ..” Anna said as she walked away leaving her two brothers.
After Anna left, Haru sat up and looked at Arin, thinking about what Arin was thinking and making himself like this. Is there anyone waiting for his mind until he vents that feeling to the food and does not care about his own body, Haru thought as he clasped Arin's hand tightly.
