The Thorny Journey

The Thorny Journey
my decision


Riki called out to yana who was in the house, yana house looks deserted from outside, the stall has been closed since the departure of Riki looking for azham earlier, but, yana who was still sobbing immediately answered the call from Riki earlier.


yana runs towards the entrance looking for the source of Riki's voice.


Riki who was intercepted in front of the door looked at the face of his cousin without expression, Riki had tried to find azham where, but did not meet.


" how did ki? have you met Azham? is azham okay?" the question came out of Yana's mouth.


azham who was already sitting on the bench on the terrace looked tired.


" tanya nya satu-satu kak?" mulas riki dengan wajah kelelahan.


yana who joined sit with riki on the terrace, her heart can not be asked again, the mind of a mother will definitely think that is not good to happen to her child.


" azham where's Riki? you asked azham's friends!" yana the longer the other man thought.


" sister Yana can be quiet first? wait for me to rest for a while, sister yana!" Riki who was still sitting weakly exhausted from soy sauce looking for azham earlier.


" yes.iya.kak yana is silent!" I said gently look at the situation of the soy sauce riki.


yana was rushing into the house, the children were still late in the dream, probably due to fatigue playing water, making them fall asleep soundly.


Riki who has been silent since returning home earlier told Azham that he had picked up his father since school, his teacher said Azham's father picked up Azham when the children came home. yana had calmed down a bit after hearing Riki's story earlier, Riki also gave permission to go home.


mm-brummm....


sayup-sayup heard a familiar motor sound in yana's ear, yana who was still sitting leaning against the wall of the living room sharpened the earlobe again.


" yes, that's the sound of the faizal bang motor!" whispered to myself, my tired body waiting for them to come home I take walking to the front door of the house, the door I have locked from earlier.


before yana opens the door, yana tries to peek out from behind the window that is beside the door yana open, is it true that they are coming home.


the motor is already on the porch of the house, the door is locked earlier yana mutekan his contacts in order to be open to welcome the return of azham, which makes yana more worried, azham must go to school tomorrow, how could his father take him away too long, Azham out this morning to school, it's too late just come home.


klekkkkkp..


the sound of the door yana opened greedily, growling yana saw her husband's behavior that no guilt to yana.


" how long has Azham been home?" tanya yana on azham with clothes no longer neat, very different from the one in wear in the morning, clothes where, pants where.


" we took Azham to the house of his friend Umi, now azham sleep first huh? tired out!" azham's face did look exhausted, since the morning came out, this night just returned home, all the energy in his small body was drained without rest.


azham passed by in front of the yana, her still small body bobbing in front of the yana.


" how could the bang faizal bring a child to go home? bang faizal know he's tired of school, please pity the little boy?" yana at faizal


her husband, who had been sitting down, leaned back in the living room, his finger playing with the cigarette in his hand.


the night passed by with a quiet atmosphere, the sound of frogs rumbling outside the house, soon the rain will fall, yana can not sleep tonight, her heart fidgeting erratically, no doubt, yana glanced at her husband Faizal who was already asleep beside yana.


klekkkk....


the door of the room was wide open, her body was brought into the children's room, they slept very well, yana approached their bed and sat beside her, sometimes yana hits mosquitoes that bite them.


Paps... Pap.yana hit the mosquitoes that perched on the body of his child many times, so that they died one by one hit by a deadly blow yana.


" it's good to eat my children's blood, I'm hard-earned to feed them, it's good that you want to suck their blood." Bebel yana herself with mosquitoes.


the sound that tried to slow yana can not make her child sleep well, it turns out that yana voice was disturbing the child yana sleep, finally the eldest woke up from his sleep.


" umi still hasn't slept yet?" azham asked who was surprised to see me sitting next to his bed.


"eh...azham is awake? I'm sorry umi bothered, there were a lot of mosquitoes, so umi came here!" I said to hide my fret in my heart.


azham tried to wake up from his sleep earlier, yana who was still sitting leaning next to the bed helped azham sit.


"umi! can Azham say something to umi, but umi promise umi promise not to tell dad huh?" say seriously oil.


yana considers the cuek aja his son's speech earlier, for yana azham only still fantasized in the dream world, yana did not take it seriously too.


" yes, what's up, son? what do we want to tell you, just hear me?" sahut yana was calm, as calm as the water in the well.


azham's narrow room makes the air less comfortable, especially azham room has no windows, making the room atmosphere worse, the air is not comfortable, the unpleasant smell comes from the drooling water his booby sister adds more discomfort azham room.


" ummi! dad actually went to his friend who gambled, Azham had prevented me from playing, but I didn't hear my words." azham's voice was already wet hoarse indicating he was crying again.


" umi don't take it anymore, okay? azham is better off eating rice without side dishes than eating money that is clearly his origin!" once the words came out of his little mouth, Azham had to learn to be mature before his time.


gaping my mouth as if you do not believe what you hear from the mouth of his own son, his age is still not able to judge people, but very different from the figure of azham which makes yana happier to have a child like him.


" already....now it's late at night, azham sleep again huh?" yana said seriously while continuing to issue words of encouragement to her children.


this time yana has to take steps and decisions that are her kindness. yana household and also the future of her children, her front steps need not be rash, she said, yana has to think of a way out for her problems this time, the problem is too heavy to have to bring the child to the gambling field without thinking about the fate of her own biological child if something happens.
