The Struggle of the Sick Wife
Life Being a Stepchild
***
At this time Ayu has moved to one of the villages, more precisely the village where the husband mama Ayu is located. yes. currently Ayu in boyong the mama to join the move house, following where the husband lived.Ayu's grandmother only chose not to participate, Ayu's grandmother preferred to follow the grandchild of her first child.
If anyone says that a father is good, it is true, and if anyone says that a father is evil, it is true. the point is to depend on the person himself.His self wants good or wants evil in the presence of the child.
Ayu continued to work as a garden farmer, just like the work that had been done by mama Ayu.it was only the difference, if mama Ayu had to be a laborer in someone else's garden. this does not apply to the father continued Ayu, because indeed he has his own plantation.
Ayu's continued father is a good father for Ayu, he also loves Ayu. He also has several times bought a suit for Ayu, only from his treatment, he also has, it caused jealousy in his children and grandchildren.
" Ma .. try to see Ayu bought clothes with grandfather, I even engaged in marriage." said one of the granddaughters of him, whose age is identical with Ayu.
" Yes ., right, Ayu is your grandfather's favorite child, so don't be surprised if you've been interested in what love - what's the same with your grandfather." said one of his daughters, the automatic self is Ayu's half-sister.
It was a word of satire and jealousy that Ayu often heard directly, because if they talk they are always done when in front of Ayu. similarly, when the children of the father continued Ayu gathered, they always talked about Ayu's mother, who was the real mother they continued.
There is heartache when they often ugly - mama in front of Ayu, but what Ayu can do. her self can only be silent, but, as if they had never heard their words. Ayu also never once complained about what Ayu heard to the mother because Ayu understood how hurt her mother if she heard the talk that her stepson had been doing.
Ayu also had to share the pocket money with the granddaughter of the father continued Ayu. As long as Ayu's mother remarried, Ayu was very rarely given pocket money, maybe only once a week Ayu received pocket money from the mother when harvesting the garden.
" Yu .. This is no pocket money for Ayu, it can be used Ayu two days. in irit kalo jajan, the school is close to home.so, so, Ayu if you want to go home just eat. At home there is always rice." said mama Ayu said to Ayu.
" Yes ma .." and again - again Ayu always agree what the mother said to her.
Though snacking and eating is a different thing, there is envy in Ayu's heart when he saw his friends running towards the merchants for snacks when the break time arrived. but not for himself, Ayu had to go home just to prop up her stomach with rice and side dishes as it were. so that she did not want snacks too much like her other friends.
In addition, every pocket money that Ayu got from her mother, Ayu still had to share it with her nephew. Because if not, if not, his nephew will be angry and often issued words - words of insinuation for Ayu.
" Yu .. Today you brought some pocket money, right ? if you bring it, buy it in I jajan donk." Ayu's nephew began to whine at Ayu, when he found out that Ayu got the allotment of pocket money.
" Yes, we divide the two yes .." said Ayu by taking the money in his possession.
" Yes." after receiving the money given by Ayu, her self immediately passed away from Ayu's presence just like that.
Again Ayu can only be silent, with the circumstances that faced her at that time.A little girl aged eight years, had to face the test of life is so heavy, so, without knowing who to complain to.
There was once an event that might even be imprinted in Ayu's memories until he grew up one morning, where one morning, he was born, as usual after the morning prayers mom and dad continued Ayu had to go to the garden to work, and stay Ayu at home with the grandchildren of the father continued Ayu.
It was a school holiday morning and currently the eldest granddaughter of Ayu's father was cooking in the kitchen. Ayu also went to the kitchen, when she felt hungry and intended to eat.
" What do you want ? if you want to eat, do not eat my side dishes, cook it yourself. watch out if you eat ... !" his words in a slightly threatening tone to Ayu and passed away just like that from the kitchen.
Hearing that, Ayu was only able to be silent.His self was only confused at that time, with the condition of a very hungry stomach.because Ayu had not eaten anything since morning. and I don't know why that morning mama Ayu did not cook, maybe the mama misfortune to not have time to cook.
In his look at the clock on the wall that shows at 10:00 pm, and if waiting for the mama himself had to wait for three more hours to eat, finally Ayu went to the kitchen to find what she could eat.
With reckless capital, Ayu started the fire on the wood stove that had just been used, and placed the frying pan on the stove. Ayu was forced to scavenge the rest - the remaining egg mucus that had been broken, right, to be cooked back as a side dish to eat himself.
It was really the lowest point of an Ayu, because when mama Ayu was not remarried. Ayu was never forbidden to eat anything she wanted, even to school Ayu always get a snack every day.
But when the mother remarried, Ayu had to pretend deaf even though both ears heard, her self also had to pretend blind even though both eyes saw. Ayu must be deaf to the innuendos and words of the judges of her half-brothers and nieces, her self must also be blind, blind to the behavior she gets from those around her.
Yes, the little girl who must muffle the feeling of sadness, sadness, and disappointment.whether to whom the feeling must be self-directed.what to her parents.
