The Thorny Journey
azham deman

morning showed the light, the house that was so lively before with the boisterous sound of my children today all changed, azham seemed not to talk since yesterday, yesterday, I don't know why Azham broke down.

tok...

" azham open the door, son?" yana's voice broke the quiet silence inside the house, faizal still no signs of waking up from his sleep.

tok...tok.tok..the front door of azham's room yana knocked repeatedly, but there was still no sound to say azham from inside.

" Azham! are you going to school today?" seeing that there was also an answer from azham yana trying to knock her son's room repeatedly.

yana feeling so bad, what exactly happened to her child, ggas yana open the door that yana check was not in the key, yana, before yana opens her yana tries to take a deep breath and throw it the same way.

huuuffff...

ready for what is going on inside, whether Azham is still asleep or awake.

klekkkkkp...

azham's room door was wide open, from the direction of the door you could see azham still lying in a thick blanket, before ni azham so hate blankets, so much so, even during the rainy season he rarely wears blankets, azham's body is always hot.

yana's feet quickly walked towards the figure of azham lying on his bed. Azham's body was tightly covered with a blanket, nothing was visible except his head alone.

" ish...you have azham fever, why not tell me you have a fever?" azham apparently had woken up from earlier, only his weak body made him unable to move.

" a little bit aja umi, soon azham healed really, azham nothing?" azham's voice was so weak.

azham's room is somewhat cramped because of lack of air, the door curtain that closes the door azham room yana tie it up, so that air can enter through the door.

" azham wait a minute, huh? umi wants to find Riki first, help buy fever medicine for you!" I said as I continued walking towards the door of the room.

yana had not yet exited her room, suddenly the voice of azham stopped the steps of yana from walking.

" don't buy umi medicine, azham just got well again!" azham probably knew she didn't have the money to buy her medicine.

azham's body heat has not yet come down, which makes yana rise in blood, from earlier yana voiced loudly but could not make bang faizal wake up from his deep sleep, he said, as if nothing happened at home.

" what does it mean to have a father if my sick son takes it upon himself?" sayat yana himself while continuing to check the body of azham which is still not down.

able to forget all the actions of her husband faizal ngak menafkahi yana and her children just for the sake of the children need the figure of a father, if this situation there is a place for us to depend, if this situation, he's not the one who depends on us.

azham's body which was originally hot is now lightened, making yana a little relieved, azham was able to wake up, but not yet strong to walk. the shadow outside the house is already a bit tilted, a little, signifying a moment will enter the prayer time ashar, faizal is still at home sleeping in the room, the longer the attitude even worse, yana do not know what makes her husband faizal back home.

" why are you selling today?" ask Azham when I see my stall is still closed even though it is late afternoon.

thinking about the state of azham aja yana already dizzy, how to open a stall, in addition to his sisters again, the habit of the heck if we again hard-hearted children must also feel.

" azhman has gone home from school? who did you go to school with?" bang faizal with his calm face reprimanding azham who sits casually on the porch of the house with his om Riki.

azham did not answer, azham cum eyes turned to his father with a blank look, from afar only notice the attitude of azham who is indifferent to his father, very different from his sister, who is not, azham did not like his father, it still crossed his mind when his father came home after a long time disappeared, there was no aura of happiness from the look on his face, as if the presence of his father azham accepted by force.

magrib came with a fierce red face, all the front of the house went inside as a tribute to the entry of his magrib time, Riki returned to his house, azham went inside to perform the magrib prayer, and, his father went to musalla, which made yana salut equally bang faizal, although as bad as he was, about the prayer he never left.

the dinner menu is ready on the floor of the living room with plastic mats, the menu is so simple, only two eggs I fried omelet yana cut into six parts, according to the number of them at home, the ration of the younger brother wants two pieces, the others can only be a piece.

" wouldn't you make a cake today?" azham asked while we were still sitting on the floor putting food in our mouths.

eat with family even if you are not happy.

" the plan is to make brownies today, but brownies in cups but economical aja azham, which can be sold thousand!" clearly yana again on azham about the plan yana make new snacks.

yana's spirit is increasingly blazing considering there is a need to fill, her father does not even care what we eat, has eaten or not, his father does not want to know.

the kecik from earlier was fussy not knowing what reason, suddenly crying scream inside the house, yelling, yana who was still wrestling with the ingredients in the kitchen called her husband who was engrossed sleeping from night to night again.

" the Faizal bang! take the child for a moment from crying?" yana's loud voice made the faizal bang crumpled on her bed.

" you can't you slow down that voice of yours, it's still a good thing I haven't died hanging you know?" His impact made the little guy named hafiz suddenly quiet in place.

yana even laughed out loud to see the behavior of the little one who suddenly remained silent, from earlier yana pejuk ngak want to be silent, once heard the voice of his father immediately silent.

" why is it so noisy?" azham was suddenly nongol in the narrow kitchen of yana.

pantasan his sister from earlier crying, it turns out azham and his sister number two named rasya has fallen asleep in the room, hafiz in living alone in the living room, children's base.

" umi why don't you just leave dad, it's good for our lives before you come back here."
