The Struggle of a Child
Concomitantly

"Eem! I like Liyan," Widia said sweetly. Walking in a hurry following my steps.

Then I put a happy smile on Widia. Walk up the busy road, which is passed by the riders.

With a weak body. I rushed to get home quickly.

"Widia, what are you doing?" I asked Widia who was left behind.

"I'm walking again, Liyan," Widia replied. "You walked too fast, to the point that my legs were tired and my throat was thirsty" he said softly.

I was suddenly shocked and stopped. "What?!" Turning around looked at Widia. "You're thirsty. But, Widia here no one is selling," stood staring at Widia.

Widia is so lethargic. He then, dropped his body half in the air. "Liyan, what? You don't want to help me," Widia looked up at me with her pleading face.

Staring at Widia who was half her life was like disappearing. Makes me feel like a confused person. Then, I looked around, which was none other than the house of a freak, it was. People who often block my steps when I go home from school.

Instantly, my heartbeat stopped and my finger, feeling cold and trembling. Resisting the fear that haunted me, every time I crossed this path.

"Widia, we'll just move on. Maybe, there are people selling," I gently asked Widia.

"You sure, Liyan?!" saith. Walked.

"Yes, I'm sure. Come on quick," I asked as I glanced at the strange man's house.

"Yes wait! But you correct it," cried Widia walking briskly towards me, who stopped quite far away from her.

Hm! I shook my head to answer Widia.

Widia finally, came up to me and we walked back, looking for a place to sell drinks and avoiding the strange man's house.

"Widia, we're not good long standing in the middle of the road" said my father. Walk as fast as possible, down the ramp adjacent to the strange man's house. My father said, "Many kidnappers. Anytime they can kidnap us," stared at Widia at the glance who was walking in my footsteps.

"You're right, Liyan. My father too, so. If I went outside to play, he would have reminded me to be careful. He said, "Later kidnap Anak," walking seriously up the edge of the scorching road.

Widia and I kept going. Looking for a place for drinking sales.

"Widia, what if the seller doesn't exist?" I slowly looked at Widia. "You drink at home, yes," I suggested. Look around what I'm passing.

"Don't Liyan" Widia said suddenly. Swinging your hands into the air, as a rejection signal.

"Why?" I was full of wonder. "Is there no drinking water in your house?" askaku. Looking at Widia, why? He said so.

"I'll forget" he said.

Ha! I was surprised. Instantly I turned my head in a different direction while laughing, hahaha ! "You're a freak. Just drinking time you can forget," I joked.

"Yes Liyan. Since I got home, I went straight to work," he replied in a bitter voice. Down, like a shy person.

Instantly I shut up and looked at Widia who was walking with me. My pale face was so stunned looking at him, that it was so strong facing all.

"Widia, we're the same. Equally under pressure, when I get home," I replied with a groan.

Widia who kept walking, just silently heard what I said. He sighed as a gesture, that he and I were different.

He lowered his head, neutralizing the pain of the heart, which he felt. "Liyan, we're not the same. Your father still loves you. Although, you're not in love out. Like, as I know and I see, your father wants to do all the housework, as long as you don't wander," he said, holding back the bit of grief that filled the deep recesses of his heart.

"It's not so Widia," my timpal. Walk and try to calm Widia's heart. "My father didn't want to, told us to work because he said, not clean and still smelly," I said cutting off Widia's conversation. I really want to joke. However, I had to undo it, seeing Widia who was so heartbreaking.

"That means your father, dear dong to you," he confirmed. Walk while looking at the drink seller.

"Darling!" whispered slowly. "If my father was dear, he wouldn't have locked me in the house and he would have given me permission to play. However, this is not. My father only knew that if I go home from school I have to get home, before him" Staring straight at the blazing sun.

"Why did you say that, Liyan? That's obvious. I see your father is so dear to you," he added. Stared at.

"Come Widia. I don't know the truth. That's obvious. My father never gave me permission to leave the house, even if only for a moment" I explained. Walking almost near the shady path.

"I don't understand you, Liyan. Wh why? Your father didn't give you permission, even if it's only for a moment, what's the cause?" ask Widia clearly. "Have you done anything wrong before?" looking at me for the truth.

For a moment, I felt amazed by my friend Widia, who was so happy to put her heart and attention into listening to the outpouring of my heart.However, I remained sad, she was more depressed than I was.

I'm still a long way from him, if I go home from school. I've never worked anything, like Widia. Sometimes life is something we have, but no one else has. And vice versa, there is something that others have, but we do not have.

So unfortunate is my fate, but even more unfortunate is the fate of my friend Widia.

"Widia, but you're strong too, aren't you?" I said, asking Widia. "You never get sick."

"What?!" Widia looked at me strangely, as if she was thinking, that I was sniffing at her directly. "Liyan, this you," he shouted. "Do you think I've never been sick?!" grunts with annoyance.

"sorry. Just guess what," me. Staring Widia. Continue walking.

I stared at Widia. He was so sad today to see me.

My gonta step, immediately want to stop and fall into the road. I had to invite this weak body to stay strong. So I look fine. Especially for Widia, I don't want Widia to think and worry about me. Meanwhile, he alone seemed to carry a heavy burden. His cheerful face now looked lethargic and moody, like one with a thousand problems.

"Widia, you don't feel sad. Later I will be, sad to see you," Swinging her arms around Widia gave a spirited support.

"Liyan, thanks. You are my best friend," Widia smiled.

"Widia, we should have loved each other dear friends" I said. Expanding both cheeks and pulling my lips until curved.

Widia, just concluded a sweet smile returned to me. Stare at me happily today, until she forgets my illness.

"Liyan, how sick are you? What's makin..." Widia was speechless, she seemed as if she did not dare to continue to her worries.

"My pain is okay, Widia. Don't you panic. I'm still strong, really" I said calmly. "If I don't train him, I'll be home. I must have been angered by my father," looked down and was sad.

"Why are you sad, Liyan?" widia asked curiously. Staring at me who was down.

"You know. If I get sick. My father must be angry and won't let me go to school anymore" I said in pent-up disappointment.

"Liyans. Did your father really say, like that?" ask Widia. Looked seriously.

"Yes," nodded while twitching both eyes. Staring at the sky.

"It's a pity for you, Liyan," Widia said softly.

I only put on a thin smile, looking at Widia, as my empathy because Widia had been willing to listen to my complaints.

"But Liyan. Are you telling me you don't want to defend you?" widia asked inquire. Walk straight to the drink vendor.

I just thinly knotted hearing it. "My father doesn't like it, if anyone intervenes. Especially my contact mother. My father never allowed him to defend us" I said. Looking down at my weak footsteps.

"Why Liyan?" ask Widia. "He's your mother too" Widia confirmed.

"Because I'm his son" I replied. "I don't know about that Widia," I complained. "I am, confused. We better not talk about it" I said with complete rejection. Walked.

"Yes already. If you don't want to. But, I want to know the truth, Liyan," Stop.

After a long time, we walked over and told him about our complaint. Finally, we arrived at the shop we were heading to.

"Widia, that's the drink!" I pointed at a drinking bottle. Stand up.

"No need for Widia. Just you. 'And thou thirsty, '" I said with gentle rejection.

"Why is that, Liyan? I know, you're thirsty, too, right?" widia said, knowing what I feel right now.

"No Widia. Just drink. I'm not thirsty" I refused back, turning my face to look at the others.

"Yes, if you don't want to" Widia said indifferently. Staring at the bottle of drink that swung in the air . "Liyan! I want to know. Did your father also forbid you to accept gifts from others," looked at me fixedly full of question marks.

I was surprised to hear it. "M.." thought, what am I going to say. "...No Widia," I replied lowered my head in a voice-over tone.

Widia who sat down, immediately looked at me with half confidence. "You're lying, Liyan. I know, if you're lying, you're definitely down" she replied.

Instantly, I interrupted the conversation. "Widia, you better sit down, if you drink," I suggested. Pulling Widia down on the bench. "Mom, we can sit here, right?" ask me for permission.

"Can, Son! Just sit down, if you want," she replied smiling.

Widia is so noisy today. Huh! Snorted. Makes me unable to do anything to think, for a moment.

"Widia, drink it a little fast. Your mother will be angry" I said, reminding. Sitting staring at Widia with a sigh.

"Yes! Liyan, we've been here for a long time" Widia said hurriedly to her feet. "This, Ma. The payment," handed over the money.

"We need to get home fast, Widia. I'm afraid, if we get upset, by your mom and my dad," I said, staring at Widia. "You know, right, if my dad's mad like, what?" keluhku.

"Yes Liyan. Our parents are the same. Both like to be angry," he continued. Grunting releases into the heartbreak.

"Yes" I replied firmly. Surrender to let go of all the mountainous thoughts.

Widia too, rushed over and I immediately fixed the bag I was holding properly. So I'm not overwhelmed bringing him home. I stood up from the bench we were sitting on. Clean the uniform from dirt that sticks.

"Liyan, you look so neat. Though 'we want to go home," said Widia at a glance.

"Yes. Later if my clothes are too dirty. My father's tired of washing it," I said. Staring at Widia while watching around my clothes.

"Yes already. Come here, let me help you," Widia said.

"Alright, if you don't go to Beratan," I continued to approach Widia.

Widia walked around my body. Cleaning clothes that are exposed to dirt.

"Liyan! Your father was good too, yeah. Never give you a job at home" Widia said. Cleaning the school skirt.

"It's not so Widia. My father said it was his duty. So, every task should not be given to anyone" I replied. Cleaning the front skirt.

"Tasks?" widia asked curiously. "What does that mean?" he returned with confusion that filled his mind.

"Home duty" I replied.

"What tasks, home duties?" while thinking. "Haha ! It's like school" Widia said.

Widia continued to laugh, while I was still focused on paying attention to my school clothes and not responding to her response in the slightest. Sometimes I see Widia coming back who is still babbling with her own opinion.

Just a smile I gave in response. She was seen spinning around me seriously, looking for stains that stuck to my clothes and skirt.

"Liyan. It's clean. I'm sure your father won't be angry with you anymore" he said with a smile, as if laughing at my restless self.

"You laugh at me, yes," I said. Glancing at Widia. "You don't know, Widia." stared nanar while tidying up her uniform again.

"Who knows? I know, really. You're scared of your father, Hahaha!" ledek Widia with crisp joke laughter.

"Widia, I'm still sick. Don't make fun of me just," I said with a small whimper. Staring at Widia with a frown.

"Yes Liyan, sorry. I forgot that you were sick" said Widia, feeling guilty. Put both hands in the air.

His soft face, immediately looked at me so that I was so sorry for him.

"Don't cry Widia. We'll see people later" I said. Staring at Widia and lowering both her hands. "Let's go home," asked me to pull Widia's arm.

Ahaha! Instantly the naughty laughter of his jokes came out breaking my eardrum.

"Widia!" yells slowly.

He laughed so much that he was satisfied. Swinging walking legs. Left the drinks dealer's place.

With a quick step. Widia rushed as fast as she could swing her legs tightly. "Liyan, come!" he shouted, while swinging his hands lightly into the air. Turning his head towards me.

"You go first Widia" I replied with a slight shout. Remembering the shoelaces firmly.

Widia looks so tight. He stepped up, as if abandoned by public transport. Without regard to left and right.

I was so smiling looking at him. He who is accompanied by fear walks, like a man who is being pursued.

I swung back my weak legs. Forcing this tiny body to stay friendly even if, just for a little while.

I walked alone, watching my faithful shadow accompany me. The poor shadow. He was so pity-looking, always accompanying his master tirelessly and endlessly. Whether in a state of restraint or not.

I looked back at my weak body which felt, growing more and more. I want to rest anywhere. As long as I can neutralize my stamina.

Around the road I noticed without getting tired by looking seriously at the shady place to take shelter. From right to left. I kept turning my head, looking enthusiastically, a tree or a small pike that could to let go of a moment of fatigue.

I'm worried about the disease coming back into this body. Makes me undo the intention to take shelter. With all the worry that hit. I straightened out the steps to get home.
