A Week Later..........
At midnight, Aska awoke from her sleep. Aska looked at the clock on the wall of her room. The clock struck at 00:30 Wib Aska and then moved from his bed.
Aska walked towards the door. Aska walked through the family room. Aska saw the TV still on. Aska saw the mother who fell asleep with a mat in front of the TV.
Aska takes the remote that TV is next to Mom and then presses the off button. Aska put the TV remote back next to Mom. Aska bowed her body towards Mom.
" mother ..... Mum....." Said Aska.
" Mom's awake" said Aska.
" Yes Aska" Mother opened her eyes in a row - land.
" Mom should move to her bedroom" Aska said.
" Mom is still waiting for Daddy who hasn't come home" Mother who wakes up from her sleep and sits down.
" Let me wait for Dad, Mom just sleep in the room" Aska said.
" But tomorrow Aska school will wake up to the bad luck" said Mother.
" No, Aska is used to waking up in the morning" Aska said.
" Why is Aska waking up this still night?" Ask Mom.
" Aska wants to pray tahjud and after that study Mother" replied Aska.
" Why did Aska learn it late at night?" Ask Mom.
" Ask is faster to learn a lesson if you learn Mother's night" said Aska.
" Aska must be diligent in learning to make Mom and Dad proud" said Mother.
" Mom slept in the room just let Aska who was waiting for Dad come home" said Aska.
" Mom slept in the room first" Mother stood up and walked into the room.
Aska stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Arriving in the Aska bathroom. Ask to urinate in the closet. After that Aska took ablution water in the bath using a dipper.
Arriving in the room Aska took the sarong, peci and sajad. Aska wears a sarong and a peci on her fist. Aska performing tahjud prayer.
When Aska again performs tahjud prayer. The door of Aska's house was on the knock and a drunk man was out there screaming to open the door.
Totoks......Totoks.....
" Woi opens the door......" Said the person while pushing the door of the Aska house.
" Entake the door"
" Entake it open or I'll break the door"
The mother in the room heard the sound of someone shouting outside the house. Then she woke up from her sleep.
Mother listened to the voice of one who shouted outside the house. Mom immediately stood up from the bed and opened the door to her room.
Arriving at the door Mother turned the key to the house. Then Mom opened the door. I was standing at the door with a horrible face.
" Basic useless wife, just sleep work. Husband came home not in the door" said Dad.
" I'm sorry Brother" said Mother.
" Be careful you step aside I want to go in" Dad pushed Mom's body back.
" Where did you come home at this hour? Ask Mom.
" It's none of your business" Dad walked towards the kitchen.
" You can't be quiet" Dad, who reached the kitchen and walked over to the hood that was on the table.
" Every day you're always cooking tempeh" Dad, who opens the hood. Dad saw sambel tempeh and tofu on the table.
" Sister never gave me the shopping money" Mother who stood beside Dad.
" You have the courage to answer my words" The father who threw the hood of saji on the floor.
"During this, my salary money is always used to pay for rent, shopping for daily necessities and Aska school" said Mother.
" You start counting - my ama count. That's why I hate it when women work. Feel himself the greatest and want to step on the self-esteem of men" said Dad.
" Sibang should be the head of the family who meets all the needs of the family. This I have to bone down to meet the needs of the family" said Mother.
" You're just working as a babu at Sutejo's house, you're getting cocky. You have dared to humble me" Father who stood before Mother with an angry face.
" I don't demean Brother. Ever since I became Babu Abang never gave me a living in money" said Mother.
" So you want money. Take this money" Dad took the money out of his blue wallet with a few pieces of money. Then I threw the money in front of Mom.
" Where's this money coming from?" The money you threw fell to the floor.
"So you want money. I'm giving you money You ask again. Where do I get money from" said Dad.
" Is this your gambling money?" Ask Mom.
" Well, that's the gambling money I won. Take tomorrow You can cook good for me" said Father.
" I don't want to eat the ill-gotten money from Brother" Mother said.
Plaque.......Plaque......
" Don't be so pretentious - you hypocritical pretender. Want to be haram or halal that matters is money" said Father.
" Hyx.... Brother is right it is money but Brother is wrong to get it by playing gambling. So the money became haram" Mother who held the right cheek that felt hot and painful because of Dad's slap.
" Don't talk much about you. Feel this" Dad raised his hand.
"It's enough Dad hurt Mom" Aska held Dad's hand . So that Dad's hand can hit Mom's face.
" You don't know in profit either. Dare - dare You interfere in this matter" Father who let go of his hand from Aska's hand.
" Because I'm sick of seeing Dad. That always hurt Mom both physically and mentally" Aska said.
" You've always stood up for your mother. You I'm willing to be smart. But you were smart against Me as Your Father" Father raised his hand and struck Aska's left arm.
" Ouch.......Dad" Aska grimaced in pain. His father actually hit Aska's arm strongly.
" I beg you, Brother, don't hurt Aska" Mother who had kneeled in front of Father. So that Dad does not hit and beat Aska.
" Wake up, Mother. I don't want to see Mom kneeling in front of Dad" Aska, who was holding back the pain of having her arm hit by Dad. Aska reached out to Mom to stand up.
" Let Mother be like Aska. I don't want you to torture Aska. Aska's the only treasure you've got" Mother who's still kneeling before Dad.
" For you have knelt before me. I'm not going to torture him. A useless child like him. He shouldn't have gone to school but worked to earn a lot of money for me.
Seriate.........
