Alia (Are you okay?)

A nightmare that keeps repeating

In a living room without lighting from the lights, a little girl curled up received a punishment from her parents. The sound of a lash coming from the belt rang out loud as it landed on the little girl's back.

"Mama told you not to let your sister get hurt, but why is it that when you come home your sister is still injured? didn't you hear what mom said?" tiara yelled at her youngest child for letting her older brother Allea Akifa Gavaputri, called Lea, fall and cause her knees to blister.

Alia Shakeela Zanitha just silently bit her lips, trying to endure the pain that hit her skin as much as possible. The 10-year-old girl did not even dare to make the slightest sound or Tiara would grow angry and scold her.

"Ma.af ma.." only that word managed to escape from the little lips of the girl while trying to endure the pain all over her back.

"How dare you make a sound... Mama's gonna add to your punishment. You useless son!" tiara shouted as she continued to beat the little boy's back.

Hhhhhhhhh

Alia woke up with sweat that had poured soaked her nightgown. In his eyes around trying to find the whereabouts of his mother and it turned out it was all just a dream. Alia flicked her hair back using her hands while starting to catch her breath gasping for breath.

The incident was even years ago, but it still stuck in his mind like a bad memory that kept repeating itself when he closed his eyes. Maybe this is what underlies Alia reluctant to sleep because right after she closed her eyes then the nightmare will reoccur even though Alie does not want it.

Alia glanced at the wall clock and was seen at 6 am there. With a slow step Alia then began to get up and down the bed leading to the bathroom to clean clean before going to her flower shop.

Dining table

Alia is now busy preparing several sandwiches containing tuna fish meat with sausage and mayonnaise that become the right complement really looks extraordinary. After everything was done, Alia started to step her feet towards the room near the dining table and then tapped on it slowly.

"Silver breakfast is ready." he cried while knocking on his brother's room door.

Alia sharpened her hearing trying to hear whether her brother was awake or not, because there was no answer whatsoever Alia began to open the door of her brother's room to check what her brother was doing, just when the door opened a shout and also throw an object then he got without Alia guessing before.

"Aaaaaaa my suddah bil.ang ja..don't mas..uk.if bel.um I tell.. pelgi! pelgi!" the older brother shouted Allea when he saw Alia enter his room without permission.

Alia who realized he was wrong again, then hurriedly took a step back and got out of there.

"Yes Al is wrong, Al is sorry, brother." he said then out of there.

Yes this is the daily life of Alia, the 22-year-old girl only lives alone with her sister who suffers from autism, making Alia have to be extra patient when facing the temperament of the brother who is always changing it. Both of Alia's parents died in an accident 5 years ago. No valuable assets left behind or abundant inheritance. Only a restaurant that became the only legacy of both parents.

If you ask where Alia and Allea's parents are, the answer is that Alia does not know about it because Alia's parents are immigrants in Jakarta, neither her mother nor her father Alia had ever been in contact or communication with their relatives.

After Alia got a rejection from her brother she stepped her feet towards the dining table and took a seat there. He looked at the sandwich that began to look cold with a sad look.

"Would mom and dad still be alive all be different? I'd rather be beaten up every day than carry the burden of living alone like this." Alia told herself as she stared blankly at the sandwich neatly arranged at the dinner table.

Cclek

The sound of an open door ripped Alia from her daydream, slowly Allea appears out of the room with dress dress patterned flowers flowers but hair in irregular loop and lipstick that is almost full of his chin.

"Am I pretty what's pretty?" said Allea while turning round as if showing her dress that can expand when she spins.

Getting the question Alia then approached towards Allea, with Alia slowly starting to wipe the lipstick on Allea's cheek.

"Don't touch my face! do not touch.." shouted Allea arrived while pushing Alia's body to make her retreat a few steps from her position.

"Alia only helps to tidy her sister, so that sister becomes more beautiful, here let Al help" said Alia trying to persuade the sister to follow her advice.

"I told you I didn't want to! don't want to. don't want to." said Allea repeatedly while attacking Alia and hitting her hard repeatedly.

Alia was surprised when she got a surprise attack from her brother, as much as possible Alia tried to avoid while continuing to reach the hand of the brother who quickly continued to beat her. It took a lot of effort for Alia to reach her brother's hand, until then she succeeded and immediately hugged him.

"All right Al salah Al apologise, brother." said Alia then while stroking the brother's back slowly.

After she felt Allea had calmed down, Alia began to let go of her embrace and led Allea to the dining table for breakfast.

"Well if you want a makeup like that, Al will not force again as long as you eat breakfast okay." said Alia by trying to smile as much as possible.

Allea smiled and picked up a piece of sandwich on her plate and ate it voraciously, just like a child enjoying a happy meal.

This is the daily life of Alia who must demand her to have an excess of patience in the face of the temperament of the sister. Alia grimaced a little when her back felt a little pain there, it's just that then Alia then ignored the pain because what she received at this time was much better than what she had received when both parents were still alive.
