The Struggle of a Child
Amazement

I immediately stopped waiting for them and they immediately ran after me. "Sister, why did you come home alone?" ask sister.

"Sister always comes home alone" I replied as I waited for my sister to walk along.

"But Sister, all this time I saw, Brother never went home alone," said Andrini.

"Usually, Brother always comes home right, same with Sister Widia," continued my sister.

"Yes. But 'right, not every day, sister." I immediately swung my leg to step.

"Ah, my sister?!" My sister looked at me with suspicion.

"M." Mmm." I immediately turned my eyes away from him so that he did not look more and more at the two balls of my eyes that hold a million secrets.

From the tail of my eye. I still see that my sister doesn't believe what I told her. She still had doubts about what she heard today while Andrini already considered me as her brother. "Sister! Widia, it turns out to be evil too, yes," he said instantly.

I was immediately surprised to hear it. "Evil how, Sister?" I looked at him with both wide eyes.

"She had the heart to leave, My brother," my sister replied directly cutting off the conversation.

"No! He's not bad, brother. He also did not leave Brother," I said as I walked on.

My sister and Andrini, they were both very worried about me going home from school alone. I'm not too worried actually, going home from school alone at the moment. In the midst of my solitude I tried to fill it by memorizing some lessons that will be tested later and I also while remembering verse by verse the poetry that I wrote first.

It was that beautiful poem that accompanied my footsteps even though Widia followed me walking behind quite a distance and I accidentally saw it from the tail of my eyes.

Highlight the eyes that accidentally saw her reflection at a glance also felt happy because Widia was actually unable to leave me home from school alone. In her hatred she still held compassion for me.

I also did not turn my body directly to look back because I was afraid that Widia would find out she would really leave me. Then what about my fate when that freak confronted me in the middle of the road?

That freak was so scary and made me unable to escape. He was very strong and seemed to be about to surround himself with that huge body. Suddenly on a different street no matter how long my sister and Andrini saw and called out to me.

"Sister Liyaaan !!!" they screamed they called.

They also ran very fast. "Oh, yes Brother! Andrini wants to ask." Andrini looked at me with a million secrets.

"What do you want to ask, my brother?" my sister asked who often watched my movements.

"Mmh! Brother, you want to not accompany me at home later?" ask Andrini hoping.

"Sister, not my sister ma... ." My sister did not continue and immediately turned her head towards me.

"eeee! Later, Dik. Brother look at Father Brother first," I replied cutting off my sister's conversation.

"Why should you see Dad?" asked my sister in surprise while walking fast.

"Sir, I'm afraid, if I scold you later" I said, looking at the strange man's house.

The house of the strange man was so quiet. No noise was heard from all around. The large, sturdy house standing on the ground looks silent and gripping it so it makes my hair goosebumps. This house made of solid concrete seemed to want to catch me and lock me up. It was as if he was running after me.

That's how terrible my fear is right now. There is not a single taste that can be soothing. In this day filled with lies it stoned itself even more without the slightest mercy.

Haha ! Haha !

Suddenly I heard the gripping sound of laughter that made this feather stand up. My sister and Andrini, the two of them were looking at each other as if they were throwing questions at each other. I saw him feeling more panicked so that this shaky weak leg was so difficult to move.

"Sir Andrini, whose laughing voice is that ?" ask my sister a little scared. "Ha, Brother? Does brother know ?" ask my scared sister.

"Haha!" Andrini also laughed heartily at the behavior of me and my sister. "Not to be afraid!" it's a little ticklish. "That's the laughiest girl who often sits here." Andrini then looked towards me.

"Sister, you're right, there's a little girl here" my sister said annoyedly.

"Yes Andrini, as long as you go home from school. Brother has never seen a girl here" I replied.

"Yeah, Liyan! You're too stupid" Widia said a little harshly. "Don't you know who that girl is?" Suddenly Widia approached and looked at me with a mocking face.

"No Widia. I only often see weird people who like to play spit here" I said with a lowered head. "What's gonna catch me." I said it back.

"Well, that's the girl, brother," Andrini said.

My reflexes were immediately silent, embarrassed. For a moment the face of that strange person danced on my pale face. My mind also remembered him who had once stood before me while playing his saliva.

"Issshhhh! Very dirty," I murmured slowly.

I looked down at the shadow that kept following this journey in the middle of the scorching day. The shadow that looks calm without the burden of chasing after wants to get home first. Widia's moving shadow now looks as if chasing my shadow.

My thin pale lips instantly knotted sweetly unnoticed by Widia. "I'm sure that Widia still wants to be friends with me" I whispered slowly to myself. "If he doesn't want to be friends with me, where possible, he'll laugh with my brother." I turned a little bit back looking at them.

'But, Widia why was it, like that to me?' At first glance I remember back. I who walked in front of them quite smiling sweetly and happy to see Widia still want to joke with my sister.

"Haha !" Andrini's laughter was seen from afar.

The three of them are now like friends. I was so happy when I saw him. To me, no matter what my best friend's attitude towards me, I never put it in my heart. Plus, when I saw the truth that Widia still wanted to be friends with my sister.

The journey to each other's residence has arrived and stopped. The laughter that was just now still burst forth so that it made up in a sad heart.

"Sister, Brother is very good at joking," cried my sister to see Widia who had switched steps.

"Who used to dong, Brother." Widia smiled happily while praising herself.

"Haha hihihi!" Andrini is getting tickled at him. "Sister, tomorrow's another story, yes," Andrini pinta.

"Yes, brother, tomorrow's the story again" welcome my sister as well.

"If Big Brother remembers, yes," Widia replied as she turned her head looking at the straight path towards her residence.

"Ana, don't play anymore. We're going home now, let's go !" take me.

"Sister, in a minute, yeah!" My sister again showed her merciful face and asked for mercy. "Sister, don't go straight home." My sister seduced me.

"Ana, it's a hot day! Later Dad will be angry, if we are hot," I said gently persuading my sister.

"Sister, we're playing at home, really." Andrini defended my sister.

"Whose house ?" my many.

"In my house, sister," replied Andrini.

"Yes. Yes Brother. This once!" persuade my sister .

"I'm not afraid, if you'll scold us both." I stared at my brother's pleading eyeball.

"Yes Ana. Your father, isn't he, fierce" said Andrini, walking.

"If I don't, brother," said my sister.

The steps continued to advance through the road that lay before us. I who hoped to get home first even got an obstacle from my sister.

The longer the whining for the sake of whining was heard from my sister who insisted on playing. "Yes, little brother. I beg Brother. Dad won't be mad 'cause we're, like, playing it in the house." My brother is working hard to melt my heart.

The problem is not outside or inside the house. Now that backfired is the time used to play is not right. This will only further add to my father's soaring anger. She never allowed her two daughters to stop at someone else's house when she came home from school. Even if his daughter wants to play, go home first after it is just playing if the time is right.

However, my sister still hasn't thought of it until then. So, I had to twist my words and thoughts in order for my sister to cancel her wish.

"Yeah, Andrini. 'Can still play later in the afternoon, '" I said. "Why now?" I looked at Andrini. "Sister and Ana have not yet reached home" I said, standing up straight in a soft tone of voice.

At all times I am always faced with problems and problems that make me bored. I once complained because this problem did not stay away from me who was a child.

After trouble at home with my sister. I also had a severe ordeal, that is, the disease I suffered never healed. The school where we learn and play with friends carves laughter has now become a black shadow that always corners ourselves.

My two feet that were still standing in the heat were getting weaker and weaker awaiting the decision of my sister. "Ana, let's go home first huh, sister." I glanced at the walls of our house that had been seen. "We'll definitely play, how about it?! Just chill! I'll definitely allow us to play" I said.

The steps are getting slower too. My sister and Andrini. "Sister, if you can now, why later?" Andrini asked a little protest.

"Yes, Brother. Brother will not be given to Dad to play," continued my sister with a soft heart. "Because Brother is sick." My sister's face immediately paled. "That's what I'm going to say, Dad," my sister whispered.

"Ana, the house has arrived" Andrini said. "Then how?" Andrini asked to make sure.

My silent sister looks confused. He looked at me and also looked at Andrini. "Sister, next time. I'm sorry to see my brother." My sister looks at me. "Later my father will definitely scold him for me, Brother?! We'll play tomorrow, yeah!" My sister immediately turned her body leaving Andrini.

"Yes, it's okay!" sahut Andrini's. "Tomorrow can be." Andrini accepted it with pleasure.

"Then we go home first, Brother," said my sister as she waved her hand. "Dadahhhhh!"

My sister and I went back home. Andrini has disappeared. Today I smiled in amazement at my sister who would rather give in to following my advice than her wishes.

It was time for us to arrive at our residence. The door of the house is not what it used to be. Closed when I got home from school. It was already wide open welcoming the little princess.

The silence that greeted me first when I entered. It's not anymore. A loving welcome greeted us from the doorstep even though it was just the aroma of my father's cooking.

"Sister, I'm hungry" said my sister as she held onto her stomach.

"Yes, Brother, same brother." I widened my eyes as if looking for food.
