Against the Young Director

Uncle

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bi, where is Uncle?," said Aina entering the living room. Her aunt sat in front of the TV.

"Basic Stupid kid. What did you do to your Uncle that I got hit too. You useless woman, a cheap woman like your mother," said her aunt filled with annoyance.

Aina did not flinch. He held back his anger that was ready to burst. He took a handkerchief in the bag he was carrying. And then he handed it to his aunt.

" What, you mean?," asked Farah infuriated.

Aina dropped the handkerchief in front of her aunt.

"To close.." Aina did not continue speaking She instead pointed at her mouth.

"For Auntie not to say useless dirty words," Aina continued as she stepped onto the stairs. Honestly, Aina actually wanted to curse her Aunt. Had he been insulted He might have been able to hold back his anger but this was his mother, his heart ached hearing it all. Fortunately, Aina was still aware that it was all useless and would only waste time and dirty her mouth so she just decided to mock her Aunt.

"What do you say, you fucking kid, you don't know what's lucky, you really don't have any manners to your parents." Farah stood up while shaking her waist.

"Wasn't it, Auntie, who had been teaching me not to have any manners towards Auntie," Aina replied by trying to master her anger while looking at her glance and then continued her steps up the stairs. He's tired already. He did not want to serve his aunt any further. He heard his aunt nagging downstairs. Actually Aina was saddened by all this, she should have been polite with the older one like her grandfather's message.

"Al adabu faukol 'ilmi" adab it is higher than science. His grandfather's message first.

But her aunt always insulted her mother. He is not able to remain silent. Suppose he is insulted and not his mother maybe Aina can still be polite.

Aina has arrived at her Uncle's door. He felt a little hesitant to knock it because he remembered his aunt's words earlier.

Looking at the message that his Uncle sent to Aina earlier, it did seem that the mistake was on his side. This is a first for him. Suddenly there was a fear of slipping in his heart.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Uncle," said Aina slightly stammered.

"Lake in." His uncle's voice sounded from within. There was no reply as usual. Cold and no softness.

Aina held onto the doorknob and opened it quietly, then She closed it back down.

He saw his uncle sitting behind him.

He then moved his feet to get closer.

"What's the matter, Uncle?," asked Aina carefully.

His uncle rolled his chair then stared fixedly at Aina's face. Aina subconsciously rewinded her steps. His uncle was aware with Aina's reaction, He immediately changed his facial expression.

"Uncle, ask ma'af, Na. Maybe Uncle can't take care of you anymore" said Uncle Aina. His face turned soft as usual.

"Why, Uncle talk like that, forgive Aina, Uncle. Aina knew all along that Aina had always been troublesome for Uncle," Aina replied guiltily.

"No, so, Na. Uncle will be the slave of Lord Refan Aditya Pratama to make up for Uncle's debt as well as to make amends Uncle who did not tell you not to come today, in Uncle's office," said Uncle Aina with a tone full of regret.

Hearing her Uncle Aina's explanation turned her eyes.

"I mean, Uncle. The monster threatened Uncle?," asked Aina seriously.

"Sit down first, Uncle will tell you everything," replied his Uncle as he pointed to the chair in front of him giving Aina the code to sit in the chair.

Aina moved her legs closer to the chair then sat down with a slight hesitation.

"Please tell me all Uncle, there's nothing to hide" Aina pleaded.

Sony breathed slowly.

"Uncle Company is having problems. Corporate finance is falling drastically. And now the company Uncle is under the control of the company Pratama Pilar owned by Mr. Refan Aditya Pratama. Mr. Refan threatened Uncle to follow all his will because of your piercing to him. But it's okay, Na. Uncle won't let you take responsibility for this matter."

"What can I do to help Uncle," Aina said expectantly. He really did not expect that Refan would do all this to his Uncle.

"Don't think much, Na. You've suffered a lot so let Uncle finish everything," his Uncle replied filled with affirmation.

"No, Uncle. I beg. Tell me what I should do," Aina said as she approached with her head bowed. Eyes glazed. He felt that all this time had been a burden on his Uncle. He did not want to add to this incident anymore.

"Alright, Na. Uncle will think about what we will do in the future. Now you rest first. Uncle will involve you later," said Uncle Aina while standing closer by rubbing Aina's head which was still wrapped in hijab.

"Thank you, Uncle," Aina replied and stood up from her seat.

Aina saw her Uncle nod his head.

"Aina, Pamit first."

"Yes, Na," replied his Uncle with a smile.

There was relief in Aina's heart. He turned around leaving his uncle's room.

Sony watched Aina's back until it disappeared behind the door.

What has Refan planned? Why would her secretary forbid me to scold Aina. There's something behind this all I have to be more careful about.

----

Aina slapped her body on the bed. All of his body felt aching, his mind was like it was being drained.

He saw the clock in his left hand. Time shows 15.00 WIB.

Soon 'Ashar.

He immediately got up and took his bag that was crashing with his body earlier. Then put it in front of the table.

He saw a picture of the Man He posted one year ago, which He got from snatching a magazine belonging to his friend. The photographed face was filled with small holes and scribbles.

Yes, he often floated needles and pen ink when he heard the news of the Man's arrogance.

He did not know her at all but his dislike just appeared. So that He can vent his emotions He uses the photo of the Man to be his target.

"I didn't expect that I would meet you in this condition at all. Actually I have no regrets against you. But I regret why it was my Uncle who was the target of your arrogant nature," Aina muttered while stabbing the man in the face with the needle that became the hook in the veil.

"You know, if suicide was innocent in my religion maybe now I've ended my life" he said. This time his tears flowed in his cheeks until he dripped in front of him.

"Dad, my mother left me when I needed love again, and then my grandmother followed after. I'm just living with my grandfather, you know that, it's all very hard for me. When all my friends were picked up by his mother and father. When my friends were waiting for his mother's father at graduation. I just look at their scenes with a taste of poignancy. I have always been the subject of ridicule from my friends. And when I started living happily with grandfather, grandfather left me too." Aina wiped her tears. His heart ached remembering all of that. Only He and His Lord know that He weeps in silence.

"And now you are here to take my Uncle. He is currently the only one who loves me. You have everything but why are you still greedy to snatch my Uncle's precious things."

Aina wiped her tears back. He took the pen in his bag. Then move the pen next to the man's picture.

I hate you.

It was written next to the man's photo.

After He felt his burden had decreased He went into the bathroom. He took ablution water then prayed 'Ashar. At the end of his prayer he multiplied the reading of Istighfar. He was ashamed of what he had done just now, He realized that He still had a God close to him as written in the Qur'an Surah Albaqarah verse 186, which means:

And when My servants ask you about Me, then (answer), that I am near. I grant the supplication of the one who prays when he asks Me, so that they may fulfill (all My commandments) and let them believe in Me, that they may always be in the truth.
