The Struggle of a Child
To Dad's worries

"If only, you weren't late for home. Perhaps, there is no such thing as this?!" my sister insinuated that I was back. "The incident where, I was scolded when I came home from school," stared at me with sorrow.

I immediately turned my face to look at my sister. "Dec, Brother, I'm sorry. Actually, Brother was at school, there was indeed an extra hour of reading poetry and when Widia returned home, also to hausan," Staring at the empty air with a memory of the incident.

"Emang, read the poem for what, brother?" ask my sister to know.

"Not for nothing. Just practice! Get on the list of values," I replied.

"Then, why did it come home so long?" ask my sister back.

"So, Miss Dona's in the office. So, she's a little late for class, "I replied back.

"Pantesan. There were all the students outside. We, too, had played it long enough," he replied.

Stand with a weak body. "When you get home from school. Is Dad home yet?" my many.

"Yes. I'm just confused, brother. Why are you coming home so soon?" he complained curiously. Squeezing lips.

Hearing my sister's complaint. I shut up and nodded slowly.

"Then. Was Mom upset by Dad, too?" manyaku.

"Yes. He too, was also angered by Father, Brother," replied my sister.

"Dad is outrageous, Dek," I said.

"What's going on, brother?" Turning my head to look at me. "Father it's not outrageous, brother. He loves Brother. Hence, he was always worried about Brother. To the point of having to scold anyone." she groaned softly.

"If you love your sister. She can't possibly scold you?!" My move is upset. "To the extent that, Brother coming home from school should get a tantrum from you two."

"Sister, then how do I know?! Why didn't you just ask Dad?" my sister's proposal. "As long as you're here!" Staring at me fixedly.

I was a little flabbergasted, hearing the proposal from my spoiled sister.

"You're right, Deck. Why didn't you just ask Dad?" Look at the kitchen door where my dad came out.

"Yes," replied my sister nodding confirming.

Instantly, my sister was silent and looked at me with a defiant face. Am I brave or not? He continued to stare straight while nodding slowly.

I was so puffed up and upset. Seeing him challenge me gently.

"Where? Big brother dare, ask Daddy?!" challenge my sister to raise an eyebrow. Sweet knot.

"Will you try?!" Looking at his challenging face.

"Hm! I'll see, if Brother dares," Smiled sweetly. Throwing a glance with a face of muddled laughter. "I'll see. Do you dare..." Suppressing. "...or Big Brother will be silent.., like a shy princess," Shake slowly while crossing both hands back with a face of a challenging smile. Raise eyebrows.

My breathing was so rough, seeing my defiant sister with a sweet threat. Wanting it to feel, I squeezed everything into ashes, so that no one else would sneak in to enter.

"Why? You seem to be smiling . As if you knew what was going to happen?!" Looking at my sister at a glance.

"No Brother. I don't know. What's gonna happen? Because I'm not a witch," she said with a face holding back laughter mocking me. "But, Dad why is it so long, huh? Hm!" Thinking while putting an index finger on his lips full of question marks.

Reflexes, I throw the face carelessly, removing the vexation that befell.

Meanwhile, my brother who was standing was more and more satisfied to see me who was restless and agitated. His face grew, increasingly blushing to see me who was upset.

"If you arrive. What would you like your brother to say? Come on, set it up now, brother! Don't let Brother think in front of Dad," he said.

"You don't mock Brother, yes" I said in frustration.

"Medek a little, right, nothing, sister?! To test Big Brother's guts. Dare or not?!" said my sister by pulling sweet knotted lips.

"Later, will you think. You go, "I insist a little annoyed. Pushing my sister's body.

"Yes, already! Then, I take my toys first!" Staring with a laughing face. "Daaa, Brother! Happy fighting!" Turn around while waving your hands.

Instantly I was getting annoyed with her pain. Even a rough breath, comes out spontaneously. Seeing my sister so happy, dancing above my creak.

My sister then walked straight up to the wardrobe standing right next to my father's dining table, right in our small living room. He was seen picking up some neatly arranged toys in the small box of our wardrobe.

"Dec, are you serious?" my many. Gawking.

"Seriously what, brother?" ask with confusion.

"Wanna play?" my continue.

"Yes, yes, Brother! I wanna play. I'm bored here" whined my sister.

"What do you want to play? That's what you brought toys with you, what? Inside the plastic?!" Looked at my sister with a look.

"Images, Brother!" cetus my brother with great emphasis. Walked.

"So, if you ask me about you later, how?" I asked with panic.

"So, I'm playing" he suggested casually.

"If you're angry, how?" I shouted out loud.

"I'll talk to Dad later! Take it easy!" screams from far away. Disappeared from behind the door.

My weak body, too, went back limp. Who doesn't know who and for what? Throwing my two eyeballs still fixed on the road that passed by my sister earlier, with careless I had to face my sister's behavior again.

Even a small cough, I heard a clear slur in my ear.

"Dad," I murmured slowly. Stand up anxiously.

Even a slightly hard footstep, was heard stepping on the kitchen floor. Enough effort makes me jerk and stare with a wave.

"Liyan! Why are you standing there?!" asked my father in a cold voice. Highlight his sharp eyes staring without blinking an inch.

I was so shocked, hearing his thunderous call filled half the room. He was so enthusiastic looking at me with a million regrets.

"Liyan!" Call my father with sharp eyes. Waiting for my answer.

"Ti-nothing, Dad!" answer me a little. Squeezing the fingers with trembling.

"Then, why are you standing there?!" ask my father inquiring.

Spontaneously I lowered my head and unintentionally, I retreated backwards a little to avoid my father's echoing screeches.

Glancing at him from the tail of his eyes so sharply swerved.

"Take Dad's medicine" I replied briefly.

"Drinking medicine?!" Staring at me with question marks. "So, you just took your medicine!" snapped my dad. "Huh! Liyan. Why are you so stupid?" he continued with annoyance. "From this hour, you've just taken your medicine! Are you healing or not?!" screech with a little height.

My father, who was still standing, was biting his molars even more strongly. Time and time again he exhaled holding all the anger.

"Now, I'm asking, why are you taking your medicine so late?!" Staring at me sharply. Repeating the question.

The trembling me was getting cornered frozen all by myself.

"Liyan, just finished eating, Dad!" I answered a little nervously.

"Just finished eating?! Why so long ago, did you just eat? Didn't anyone get your rice?" scream my father up a little.

"A-There's Dad," Nervously.

"Then! Why are you so late to eat?!" ask my father who pretends not to know.

"Ha! Why are you quiet?" Staring at me who was silent. Answer my question!" his yell.

I was nervous and suddenly floundered, hearing a slight cooling flush from a direction I did not know, when I was in a downcast state. He came, like a savior angel to me.

"You're! Your son just came home from school, you're already angry without going into the clear," my mother said.

"How many times have I said. Never interfere, if I scold my son!" snarl my father with annoyance.

"I didn't interfere. I just feel sorry to see your son. Just got home from school. You've scolded him, "Stare at me with a faint smile to see my father's reaction to me for being late for school.

Poor me, I can only be quiet and moan quietly in my heart. Putting it all together into a pain that slices nicely. Arrange everything skillfully for a sweet smile to happen at the end, as an entertainer myself.

The spicy words further squeezed my heart gently. He so peacefully entered without the slightest gap of flaws.

Dancing happily with tears in the eyes. Spend the remaining time with all the insignificant fists.

Staring at the self that is helpless. Being in the middle of a mute ambiguity. Filling tired that increasingly mountainous hoarding. Blinded the way out of the clutches that so rolled my mind, with the rhythms of roaring screeches that tore apart all compassion.

The snort of annoyance was heard, like an explosive bang that filled the clouds with darkness.

Meanwhile, my contact mother still wants to play around with her puas, while smiling smrik from a distance looking at me. He looks like the guy who got the new toy.

"I can't just see it. He's so tired of coming home, walking in the heat of the day. Don't you feel sorry for him?" Looking at my father for a glimpse. "I feel sorry for him" he continued. "What if your son gets sicker?" Stared at.

My father just silently heard it while looking at me fixedly. Walk a step closer to the door of his room.

"Is that right, you just got home from school?" ask my dad to investigate.

My father's question was like lightning striking me in broad daylight. Closing all thoughts with his deadly swoop and opening his mouth said honestly.

"L-yes, Father," I answered with all my fear.

My father, too, abandoned his intention to rest. Instantly, he dragged his feet walking on a chair. Meanwhile, my mother-in-law looks a little happy to see me nervous.

I was so surrounded by the waves that would roll me away. Only a nervous weak body would be the strongest backing for me at the moment.

My father was staring at me more and more. He kept looking at me with a tight frown.

"Liyan! Dad wanted to ask. Why are you late to come home? I want to hear an explanation from your own mouth!" pinta my father clearly.

"So, we're in class for an extra hour, Dad," I replied with complete honesty.

"Really?" ask my father briefly. Looking at me suspiciously.

"Yes, Dad" I replied.

While my mother was silent and listened to everything. Sometimes he sneered, like giving half the truth so that it disturbed my father and turned towards him.

"Liyan! If only an extra hour makes you late to go home. Why are you taking medicine now?" ask my dad to cover what he knows.

The deg! Instantly I gulped to the panikan.

Twisting both eyeballs, as if my mind was saying, that my father had asked him to go to school. My pale lips immediately shook.

"Easy! Don't keep interrogating your daughter! I'm afraid that she'll cry" cut my mother.

"Dad, come to your school! You said you've been home a long time. Before you get home. I've arrived at your school!" Staring at me with question marks.

"Dad sorry. Earlier, Liyan, accompanied Widia to buy a drink," I replied. Dropped.

"Ooh! So, you're more important to accompany your friend! Than to worry your father!" my father heard my answer. Gawking.

I who met the sight of my father was increasingly confused, to the point of causing trembling in my weak body.

"It's not so Dad!" To defend myself. Stand like a statue.

"Then, what if it wasn't?" ask my father to know again . "Do you have another reason, again?" Staring at me sharply.

"No Dad" I replied bitterly.

I was getting depressed, even mute, occasionally becoming my running mate. At least, I slightly avoided my father's rampage.

"Liyan! Look Dad!" Sighs. "Then! What excuses? How many times have I told you, son! After school, go straight home! What, if there's a bad guy out there who wants to kidnap you!" peekik. "Where are you going to find you?!" Staring at me with sadness. "There's a lot of bad guys out there, kid! Kidnap Kids are running around everywhere! Every father's outside. I always hear the prodigal son." continued my father. "Dad was so worried about you. Dad thought! The missing child is you, son!" my father's groan was a little deep.

"Easy! Don't be so possessive of your son" my mother told me. Interrupting my father's conversation with me.

Suddenly, my father turned his head to look at him and widened both sharp eyeballs.

"I told you how many times. Don't ever interfere with me with my son!" snapped my dad. "It's my business with my son. How many times have I warned you. Let me educate my son in my own way. Don't you ever interfere! I know about my Son and how is my Son?! Do you listen and follow what I tell you?!" attack my father's getting louder.

"Huh! You always make a fuss, when it comes to your one son, it's!" gerutu mommy chauffeured me. Grunts annoyed.

"If you don't like it. Please get out of there! No one told you to linger, stand there!" peekik.

Huh! My mother hooked me up, snorted and went away instantly. Turning around while looking at me with annoyance.

Slowly my father turned his head back to look at me.

"Who told you to stop for a drink?" ask my father non-stop.

"Widia, Daddy's thirst, in the middle of the road" I replied with honesty.

Instantly my father panted and sighed deeply. He who was worried about his son's safety out there, was getting more and more agitated. While his son, completely ignored him.

"Liyan, how else do I remind you, son?" Massaging forehead. "Dad is getting confused to see you," he moaned. "The more Father forbids you, the more you act. If this is how you are. From tomorrow on, you don't have to go to school !" cetus. Turning the eyes out.

I was surprised to raise my head. Squeezing my fingers while twisting my pale lips.

"Father, forgive Liyan," I said pleading softly.

My father just kept quiet while thinking about hearing it. He kept staring with a look like he was thinking of something.

"Dad! Liyan promised. Liyan won't throw any more tantrums," Staring at my father who turned his face away from me.

Now I, too, am increasingly worried about my father's way of thinking. He loved to say, those words that forced me to digress him myself.
