The Struggle of a Child
Play marbles

"So, you said I was sick to stay in school." My sister sat looking at me. "So, how will I pass out?" Said my sister back with a wist.

Hearing my sister for a moment I silently looked straight ahead while thinking.

"Sir, I'm gonna want to go back to school soon." Keep looking at my sister.

Ha! My sister was surprised to stare at me dumbly.

"Haha! Brother wants to go to school? Ahaha!" My sister chimps with a laugh. "Silver's not going to school, sister's path is not right still staggering like this..." My sister's ejek looks at me while demonstrating with smrik.

My pale face was immediately saddened to see and hear her. My mischievous sister kept mocking me until she was satisfied. Her naughty eyes made me feel cornered.

The room was mute as if mocking me too. I was speechless and ashamed of myself being too confident to attend school right away.

"Why? Ask brother. "Sad brother yes." Staring at me fixedly.

My sister's face bowed in shame as soon as I saw myself who was silent a thousand languages with a face of guilt. He walked into the room without saying goodbye to me.

Looking at my sister, I then leaned my body against the wall standing upright staring down. My sad face changed instantly from seeing my sister leave feeling guilty as a result, I wallowed myself in silence. Every now and then I bite my little lips by throwing blank glances in all directions. My weak legs were trembling.

"Liyan!" Call my dad. "What about your medicine, have you been drinking?" Ask my dad to know. Stand staring.

My father went out with dirty clothes to wash without me noticing he was standing between us.

"Dad, this is what Liyan wants to drink." Answer me slowly. Taking medicine.

"Quickly take your medicine, let you get well soon and get back to school." Reveal my father while taking his clothes hangers.

"It's Dad." I said.Rushing.

My leg immediately stepped up to grab the medicine located on the table.

"Sister, we're playing yuk!" Take my brother, stand beside me.

My weak hand that grabbed the medicine instantly stopped rolling my body looking at my sister who was standing behind me. My pale face saw him listlessly signalling that I did not want to play.

The medicine that I wanted to achieve consequently was forgotten for a moment because it looked at my brother who was so enthusiastic to play together.

My heart was troubled at once when I remembered my father who was so strict in guarding me that he would not allow me to leave the house.

"Sister, we're playing ya." Bring my sister back gently. Just a moment, brother." He seduced me.

"Dek later Dad angry, I will not be sick again.At first brother if out of the house there must be permission from Dad." Reject me slowly.

"Son, Daddy doesn't exist." Welcome sister. Walk up to get a small box.

Seeing my sister gone, I turned my body around to get my medicine back, and stepped my weak legs back into the kitchen to get a glass of water with my mind still fixed on my sister's invitation to me.

My little hand now put the medicine in my mouth with a glass of water in my hand.

"Sister!" Call my sister, shake me and release the glass I hold. "So, we're playing brother." Please my sister.Stands upright in front of me.

I was still confused looking at him.

"What!" My mouth flat. "Dek brother dares to come play with you.You have forgotten the incident earlier.Dad was furious at you. There haven't been a few hours of Dad's anger, you're out again." My insinuation to my sister.How about if Dad gets angry again that we both can't get out." I complained back to my sister.

Turning my body back to my sister.

Hearing what I said my sister looked at me in annoyance. His eyeballs are now looking at me as if he wants to pose an unexpected threat. He also turned his body away from me.

The small clear box containing the marbles he held affectionately. His embrace was so close to seeing the little box that was in his arms. His hard-footed feet now stopped, standing still at the door. The two neutrals stared outwards.

"I want to get out of the game." Small mutter. Closing a small clear box. "Why is my brother afraid of Dad.When is Dad good." My little sister's mutter came back softly.

I spontaneously washed away the sadness of my sister who stood at the door throwing her sadness and muttering a little disappointed to see her condition today, weak helpless! Spontaneous little laugh from my bitter lips looked at my sister.

"Not to get out." Ledek me to my sister while pulling a little of my lips. "Let's be angry.So, your punishment will be heavier." Whisper me to my sister.

Spontaneous my sister twirled her body looking at me with a little annoyance. Huh! Back turning his body staring pus out.

"Revelation! Brother yes, when will you need me." Threaten my sister with annoyance.

Hearing my brother's threats I laughed and relaxed.

"What's needed? There's you deck that needs the same brother." I ejeked at my sister with confidence.

Seeing my sister today who kept quiet made me even more curious so I was forced to drag my weak feet towards my sister.

His face looked so moody because it was held inside the house that he silently stared at the small boxes that he swung into the air with the glance of his eyes as if counting the marbles one by one.

"Why are you standing there?!" Said my sister while glancing at me from the tail of her eyes.

Suddenly I was surprised to fear that my sister would rebuke me by looking at her who had a tight face, I immediately threw a smile.

"Sir, try to tell Dad that you want to play outside." My proposal slowly. Standing looking at my sister.

"Are you sure ? I'll allow it." Follow my sister with question marks.

Spontaneously I turned my head away from my sister as if I was thinking about what my sister asked me.

My weak little legs I dragged away carrying my tiny body standing in front of the kitchen door.

"Sister, what are you doing there?" Asked my sister curiously, turning her body to look at me.

"Look at Dad." Answer me firmly.

My sister walked quickly to me. "Sir sister saw Dad!" My sister's whisper stared at me sharply.

"You told me you wanted to play marbles outside." Continue with a flat face.

My sister looked at me. "Don't tell Dad now.I'm thinking about what I'm going to say to Dad." Imbuh my brother, stand straight in front of me.

Seeing my sister's panicked face I so broke my intentions and followed my sister's annoying wishes.

My weak legs were forced to stop when I heard all the rejection from my sister.

His pajama face now enveloped himself sharply.

So very scary I was stunned silent to speak a thousand languages. The grubby steps of my tired father are now seen approaching the kitchen door.

My sister and I immediately went away.

"Son, Daddy's home." My sister said with fear.Running behind the curtains of the room.

Seeing my frightened sister I was carried away by this unpleasant atmosphere. My weak little body began to sink into anxiety.

"Liyan where's your sister?" Ask my dad suddenly.

In the quiet room I saw my sister standing behind the curtain immersing herself with a panicked face.

My father's voice that made me aghast called my name yet I said.

I still saw my sister who was wrestling with panic so I approached my sister.

"Sister, quickly answer! I'm calling you." My sister said slowly. Pushing me out.

I slowly walked over to my father. "It's Dad." I replied slowly, Glancing at my room.

"Where's your sister?" Ask my dad to come back. Walk towards the room.

"In dad's room." Answer me. "Dad." Call me back to stop my father's steps. "By ngga kam..." Instantly I stopped my words seeing my sister coming.

My father immediately turned his head towards my sister with a tight face.

"Dad can't let Ana go play." Pinta my sister slowly looked at my father with a face slightly holding back the fear.

My father just quietly heard what my brother said. He turned his body and stepped.

"What do you want to play?" Ask my dad to know. He put his clothes hanging neatly.

"Play out Dad, Ana hasn't played outside in a long time." Pinta my sister slowly. Stand up.

Hearing my sister's request for a moment my father silently looked at the nanar as if my father was so sorry to hear my sister's request, visible from the veil of his face. I who stood watching them sighed as if I was afraid that my father would scold my sister with his request.

My sister just shook her head and held the small clear box she was holding. His eyes seemed to say and showed that his request would not be granted by my father.

My father repeatedly went in and out of his room without bringing a word to my sister . I who stood could only see.

"It hasn't been a long time since I scolded you, here you've asked to come out playing marbles." Whisper me to my sister. Stand beside him.

Instantly my sister looked at me with a reddened face like she wanted to let out a hot fire.

"Sister, why? If you let it." My sister said a little loudly.Stand up looking at me.

"Yes, whatever." Keep me firm.

We continued to quarrel slowly while my father who was busy with his activities was among us did not know our quarrel. We were so careful that my father didn't find out.

"Dad, let Ana play." Whine my brother, approaching my father.

"But remember not to go home for long. If you see me coming home long time don't expect me to love you again out." Scream my father with emphasis.

"It's Dad." My sister replied while pulling her lips slightly. "Dad but let brother come with me this time." Keep my sister back.

Suddenly the look in my eyes was so sharp looking at him and glaring. I can't believe my sister was so brave to ask my father to take me to play.

"Why are you taking sister." I said slowly.

"Because big brother is good at playing marbles." Smilingly. "I want to show my friend that you're very good at playing marbles." Tukas.

"But brother is sick again.If brother comes out later brother is sick again surely brother will not go to school." I continued to look at my sister.

"So I won't be sick just calm, will the day not rain.If the new rain brother said, I'll be sick." Refute brother.

"You are!" Reply me.

From the tail of my eyes I saw that my father was watching us again.

"Dad we can get out." Pinta my sister with a pleading face.

It was so hard for my father to grant my sister's request.

"Yes, but don't you guys come back for long." My father said softly and with a tight face as if my father would give us permission.

"Come brother!".Shouted my sister happily. Run out while pulling my hand.

"Today must be a happy sister, right. It's the first time you've been out after how long you've been sick." My sister said with a smile.

I was so moved to see my sister who cared about me.

"We're gonna play there brother." Show my sister with confidence.

I turned my gaze to follow my sister's fingers pointing at something in front of us.

It was as if my life was about to escape seeing the empty, hot land.

"We're going to play there?" I asked with curiosity. Walked.

"Sir, why? Brother is afraid of the heat." Said my sister flatly.

I took a deep breath to regulate my emotions. The scorching heat would touch my tiny, weak body making me want to crash to the ground. The hot empty ground will definitely burn my white skin.

For a long time I was locked up in my house and I never saw fresh air. But this time what I'm dealing with is even worse. I had to face the arid and stinging outside air.

"Why don't we go out tomorrow afternoon or play this." I said with a little annoyance. Pointing marbles.

"Today my courage overcame my fear. If tomorrow isn't necessarily Dad's gonna let me. Moreover, I have to go to school tomorrow, where maybe later in the afternoon or tomorrow at the love of the brother." Complaints my sister .

My sister is so wise in speaking always the truest words so that today her words so make me not wince, if I do not go with her, surely later, if I do not go with her, he won't be allowed by my father to play. Today my life is caught between the two of them.

Hiya! Greet my sister to the others.

"Son, wait here first ya." Brother said. Go leave me.

I who had no other choice was forced to follow what my sister had ordered. Today my sister is like a superior who carries and governs her subordinates.

In the shade just under the tree I shifted my tiny, weak body to sit down.

I saw my brother approaching the man and talking to him from a considerable distance away from me.

My two black eyeballs looked at my sister who was so serious. Not once did he turn to look at me.

Looking at my careless sister made me throw my gaze at the others. The breeze of hot daylight made my tiny body forget about the sun.

"Sister." Call my sister. Stand before me.

I was shocked and turned my head towards the voice that called out to me.

"What's wrong? I looked at my sister in wonder. "You surprised me." My pickle back.

"Let's play now." Take my sister while pulling my arm.

Ha! I was surprised to see my sister.

"don't play." Stamp me flat.

"Why brother did not want to come, when I had been begging that brother be my friend

in this marbles game." My sister said with a sad face.

"Sister,lemas deck. My brother is not healed yet." Reject me slowly.

Instantly my sister played her body with a sad face.

"Ana,ayo come! He said he wanted to play marbles." Bring another friend. I looked at my sister who was sitting next to me.

"I don't want to play. My sister said with a little annoyance.
