The Struggle of a Child
My fear
" Who is silent!" Answer me with a ketus.
" That's proof, you're silent! Look out." Said my brother while opening the umpteenth snack in front of him.
Looking at my annoying sister I pulled my lips in a frown. I who survived my pain tonight made my sister more satisfied with my torment. My sister with her behavior that sometimes makes emotions ignited so upset with her selfish will.
" Sister, Mother is not to return before Father. It'll be a stormy sis." Said my sister with a toilet looking at me who was sitting weakly in my father's dining chair. " Mom's sister, why do you like it outside?" My sister kept raving about our extended mother while opening her many snacks.
I just kept quiet hearing my sister make a sound. Right now I don't really care what my sister says. I only care about myself. Till when? I look weak like this feeling of pain that makes me have to crouch inside the house. It's been a month. My days are now accompanied only by my illness.
My sister's my friend tonight. Suddenly shut up and looked at me tightly.
" Sister, brother why? Brother daydreaming, huh?" Ask my sister who now shifts her seat a little near me.
I was the one who was silent. "Yes." Looking at my sister whose face is full of question marks. " Sister wants to go to school." With a sad face I looked at my sister.
My sister is now nodding her head slowly by pursing her little lips slightly forward with her sad face.
" Sister, then school sister tomorrow!" Said my sister who gave me spirit. " Tomorrow we go together, brother, to school." My sister thinks I'm okay.
Heard my ambiguous sister. I just smiled faintly in my heart. My sister who thought everything was flat looked so calm with her attitude that did not care about anyone. His days were only engraved with a smile though, he was scolded for his actions that often wandered around not knowing the time.
I kept seeing my sister who was so cheerful and there was no visible burden from her innocent face. My sister who often plays and often quarrels with our surrogate mother. But my sister remains straightforward towards mother continued us. My sister never bothered about everything big.
The night that gripped my father had not yet returned from his studies. My father went to school for two hours and has not returned. The two of us are currently filling each other's silence. Our regular mom came out not too long. Makes me and my sister wonder! What happened or what is he doing?
My mind did not stop remembering our mother who was outside the house until now.
I walked out of my father's dining chair and stood at the door looking down the dim road. The picture of my father going home gives no sign. So, also with our mother. There was not a hint of anything that made us not worry about them.
" Sister, why is brother standing at the door?" Ask my sister in protest.
"Seeing Mom and Dad." I said flatly and kept staring straight at the dim road.
"Must be brother standing in front of the door! Look forward, if Dad comes home, we'll know." My sister firmly sat behind me.
My sister tonight is so chatty she always babbles at things that make me have to follow her will. He was never satisfied to see me calm down.
" Sister, I'm the same mother who's grown up. So, no need to worry. It should be what you are worried about, brother! Not that guy." Said my sister with a toilet.
I was also embarrassed to hear my sister. A step of my feet retreated in an orderly manner after hearing what my sister had said.
My eyes could not even look at my sister who thought I was paying attention to someone older than myself.
" That man is already big, brother! Do you know what it is?! And do what?!" My sister coldly spoke.
Hearing my brother I retreated as I walked slowly back to sit in my father's chair.
The night seems to be getting late. The sound of footsteps came closer to our house. I spontaneously opened my eyes wide. Stare hard at the wide open door. I kept staring until my footsteps stopped right in front of the door.
My sister accompanied me. Staring at me with an inquisitive face and full of question marks. Both of my sister's pupils looked so enlarged.
" Brother! That who?" Ask my sister to know.
The two of us now met a look with a flat face.
"Sister, let me see." My sister walked near the door.
My sister's getting close to the door. Suddenly, a voice came through the door of our house.
"Assalamualaik."
My sister stopped and was shocked. The pale look on his face described him as shocked.
"Dad!" My sister said in shock. "Wa'alaikumussalam." Answer us both.
My father stepped in past my brother who was standing near the door. My surprised sister is now silent while rearranging her breath that is almost gone.
I saw my sister stammering with my father's arrival. Take a step back and stand near my father who let go of his joints. " Dad, Where's Dad from? Why did the clock just come home?" Ask my sister to know.
My father looked at my sister. " So the study began a little while ago." Turn away and look back at the sandals she had removed. "You're scared at home, aren't you?" Ask my dad who put a package down.
"Yes, Dad! We're just the two of us at home." My sister said softly.
My father stopped immediately. " You two at home?" Asked my father in surprise while looking at my sister and me sharply.
"Emmm!" My sister nodded her head slowly with her face bent.
With my father's glaring eyes it looked so furious. " Where's your mother?" Ask my dad to see me and my brother. " Is he not home yet?" Ask my father in an investigation.
I just keep quiet. While my sister was so jutek she just showed her face in a hearty manner.
"Liyan!" Shouted my father a little look at me who was sitting dumbstruck.
My father kept looking at me sharply. " When did he start?" Ask my dad back with a little bit of emotion.
" Before you leave!" Said my brother innocently who was still standing still staring.
" Are Liyan?!" Ask my father with great emphasis.
I who was nervous about facing my father and sister replied with a hint of hesitation. " Him, Dad." I was still looking down right in front of my hanging feet.
" Not him, just him! Absolutely not!" Snapped my father to me a little irritatedly.
I who was confused and frightened shut my mouth firmly. My sister sees me so pitying.
" Don't be angry with us." My sister's protesting is upset to see my father." Daddy's funny! Our angry times are the same. Same with la, yeah!" Grumbled my sister slowly.
My father grunted angrily leaving me and my sister in his room.
My sister also now looks so annoyed with her face reddened by being bullied by my father. My sister walked with her feet firmly towards the room.
" Sister, brother is not sleeping?! Let's get some sleep! I'll be scolded again. Because of that woman." With a snort of annoyance my sister threw a gaze filled with blazing fire.
