The Struggle of a Child
Whimpers
"Ana slowly - slowly take it. It will fall all!" reprimand my father to see my reckless sister.
"Where's Dad?" My sister asked me to look at the plate.
"You guys eat first. I'm gonna take a shower first." My father immediately walked with soap and towels.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" ask mom and we saw my dad walking out.
"You're bathing. What time is it? I haven't prayed" my father said as he walked.
My mother immediately saw the clock. "It's still 12. 10 WIB" he said.
"That's it, soon azhan," said my father from afar.
After my father disappeared, I sat down where I used to eat. Immediately I put a plate that has been filled with rice and side dishes that are ready to eat.
"Sister, take 'why is it Ana's rice?!" my sister's whinek is holding jajan.
"Later on after Brother finished eating," I replied as I looked at my sister and bribed the rice.
"That's what it is." My sister pouted while sulking.
"Here let me get you," cried the caller from the kitchen.
My sister kept whining. He didn't bully our mother at all. "It wants to be the same brother," my sister lamented with a sigh.
"Ana, moreover, let's get here quickly! While Mom's here. Then there will be no taking your rice. Your father's still a long time away. Your brother is eating" he said, standing by to see my sister.
"Engga! Ana's not hungry anymore" my sister said.
The rice that I chewed immediately stopped because I was surprised to hear my sister refused our mother who wanted to take her rice. "Ana, I'm gonna go get your rice. Why don't you want to?" my many.
"Soak." Brother grumbling. "I just want to be taken with Brother or Dad," he continued hoping that what he wanted was immediately granted.
It's as usual, if my sister never wants to accept everything from mother continued us. For that, no matter how hard I force him he'll never want to. Basically, my sister never accepted another woman as a substitute for our dead mother.
Therefore, my sister has a thousand reasons not to get sympathy from my father's new wife. Even so, our continued mother kept trying to do something to take my brother's hard heart so that my sister would one day accept him as a mother for her.
Our mother kept us still standing waiting for my sister. The empty plate he still held until this moment. "Ana, did you or didn't, eat it?" ask mommy to keep us putting the plates back.
"Engga," my sister replied briefly as she chewed on snacks.
In fact, my heart is so sad to see the evil between them has not been intertwined until now. Meanwhile, my father's marriage to that woman had happened and would never end just because of my ambiguous sister.
For that, inevitably I have to behave as a child more than other children that is, must be able to be a grown child. Acting like adults, adult children in general even though I am still classified as a child.
In other words, I was required at all times to walk as a shadow behind my sister. Leading my sister when the road is wrong. Reminds him when he fails in action.
"Sir, if I want to get your rice. Don't you refuse him!" I said to advise my sister. "That's no good."
"Therefore I refused him," my brother's pretext was self-defense. "Today I'm going to get it to Brother, that's all. 'And Brother has never taken Nasiki, '" my brother grunted me by pleading that I should not scold him.
"Wait for Daddy. Brother didn't take the side dish," tolskku said.
" 'There's a bench. Usually if we don't get to take something, just climb Kak use the bench." My sister saw a bench sitting by the window.
Both my eyes reflexively followed my sister looking at the bench. At first glance I took a deep breath after hearing my sister's request that shocked my tribe instantly.
"After Brother finished eating, yes," I said to my sister who wanted to move as soon as possible I took the bench.
"Don't eat for a long time, brother" said my sister.
"Ana, what did you say to your sister?" ask my dad to hear it."Why don't you ban your brother from eating, son?" My father walked into the room and once again saw us both.
My sister fell silent. His face was so panicked and afraid to be angry when he saw my father. "Father misheard," said my sister in a soft tone of voice while hiding her fear.
I was still sitting facing my food just listening to my father's repetition on my little naughty sister.
"Don't go anywhere, wait for Dad to finish praying first." My father continued his prayers and forbade my sister.
While our aunt who was sitting enjoying her food in the kitchen accidentally heard my sister's babble.
"Dad is now more defensive of Brother than I am," my sister's moaning was dull. "I'm the youngest child." He stared at the shadow on the floor.
"Your father is not like that. He loves you more as you've seen, "my mother's dream passed by from near my sister.
"Yes Ana." I instantly remembered my childhood and my sister how unfortunately my father was to both of us so that no one could hurt us his children. Moreover, making us cry even bitten by mosquitoes alone we should not.
My father immediately panicked and got angry when he saw a mosquito on our skin. He rushed to protect us and repel the mosquitoes.
"You don't tell me that your father loves your brother only" said my mother and we saw my sister.
My sister is not so happy to hear it. He tried hard to avoid it repeatedly, he showed a slightly sour facial expression.
I already know the attitude of my brother who is tight facing me. "Let's just Liyan get Ana's rice," I said, heading straight to the kitchen on our resume.
"Have you finished eating?" ask mommy to keep us turning our bodies to see me.
"Don't!" said my dad put soap. "Let me take it." My father walked straight into the kitchen.
"Dad don't be spicy, yes," my sister yelled happily. "Don't use vegetables, Dad!" My sister screamed as she arranged her unfinished snacks.
My father also took dishes and rice and side dishes for my sister. The plate he had in his hand had now been filled full of rice and side dishes when I placed the dirty dishes.
My father so lovingly took my sister's rice. At least his face did not look tight even he looked so relaxed without any burden at all.
As a parent, my father was so sincere in doing everything for his son. He never complained as much as the weight on his shoulders. His smiling face hid the burden he was facing.
As much as possible my father kept us his children from losing his affection. My father was well aware that we never felt a mother's affection.
After my dad finished taking my sister's rice. He also left the kitchen. "Want Dad a bribe?" asked my father to sit handing the plate to my sister who sulked because she was not in perioritaskan today first.
"Ana is big. So, Ana ate by herself." My sister pulled the plate.
My mom and I joined us who were right to join them feeling happy. My sister's upset face was now gone away from her.
"Finally, Father's Son is not hungry anymore right," said my father stroked my sister's hair that snagged.
"Later Dad does not give pocket money to Ana, if Ana continues to sulk," my sister said frankly insinuating my father.
"Haha !" My father laughed when he heard my brother.
