ALL ABOUT REVENGE

Goodbye, Tama

When Tama woke up from her sleep, Tama was like a possessed boy. He screams for help. His eyes could see nothing as the whole room was dark. He forgot that the lights of his house went out.

He tried to walk up, looking for something to hold. Before long, he found a broomstick, then he used it for a guide.

" dad.. Mother.. Turn lights. Dad. mother.." said Tama.

Actually, he knows that his mom and dad are gone. But to calm his heart he tried to call his parents. He hopes his efforts will bring help.

But many times he called his parents, no one answered. The lights in his house never lived.

Tama began to feel terrified, her body trembling. The lamp in his secret house was the only one that illuminated his house. He didn't know who to ask for help. He walked slowly. Trying to remember where the exit is. After he tried, he grabbed the doorknob and pulled it.

" Ah.dark already. Outside the house looks brighter than inside. Should I sleep outside?" tama Gumam.

He sat at the door of his house, armed with a small pillow that he used while sleeping.

But the longer he was outside, the more mosquitoes approached him. His body that was not wearing any clothes became itchy.

Many times he was preoccupied with the actions of mosquitoes who continued to bite him. He tried to hit the mosquitoes with his pillow. But repeatedly he hit, the mosquitoes like not deterred. They continued to approach and ganged on Tama's body which did not wear any cloth.

For several hours outside, Tama is tired of taking care of the endless mosquitoes. Sometimes he laughed, sometimes he cried to feel his own fate.

In the end, he gave up being outside. His body grew increasingly limp because he did not eat from the morning. Only one small mango to prop up his stomach, unable to meet his energy. Tama tried to stand up and open the door. Then he came in and sat on the couch. He felt more comfortable inside the house. His body became warm, but the itching that perched all over his body was still felt.

While lying down, Tama occasionally scratched her body. Soon she fell asleep even though her stomach was empty. The exhaustion he felt was able to defeat the overwhelming hunger.

...----------------...

In a dream, Tama meets her family. All his family gathered in a beautiful place. They all greeted Tama.

" Tama..how are you?" greet the Moon with a sweet smile.

" Tama..are you okay, there? Forgive us, we all left you alone. Although this is not our will, but we feel very happy, here is a place that makes us very comfortable" Tanu said while hugging Rani.

" Tama.. Me and Raka, we're happy here, too. This place is so beautiful. More beautiful as when we visited together to the top of the Hill. Unfortunately, it is incomplete without you. We miss you so much, Tama." said Riko.

" Tama.. You're fine there, yeah. We will always be waiting for you. Waiting for us to gather like we used to. Take good care of yourself. If you're having trouble in your life, don't forget to pray to God. He must have heard your prayer." said Rani while holding Rama.

" Dad, Mother, Sister.. Rama.I also miss meeting you. I have no one but you. I'm lonely." lamented Tama.

" Tama, you're my only son we can be proud of. Struggle, Son.. We will always support you. Grow up to be a good boy. Don't give up on your current situation. I'm sure you can get through this. I'm sure you're a smart, smart kid. You will always be able to overcome your difficulties. Train your mind, so that you always find ease in every step of your way." Tanu said in a soft tone.

" Hear Dad.. You're the son of the chosen father. You'll be a great person some time. You inherited a great science from your grandfather. Later you will realize that in you there is something that can make you great.

Use your prowess to quell evil in this land."

" Good, Dad.I understand. I will live to avenge the criminals who hurt you, to make me live alone."

" Tama.. Don't take revenge on your heart. It will even make you weak. You're easy to drop. Eliminate anger. Throw it away and never let him stay in your life.

If you cannot get rid of it, you must be able to control yourself so that you do not get eaten by your revenge, which will actually harm you.

Be a patient child, my dear. I don't like you being a vengeful child. Let them throw us out of the world. Besides, this is where we should be. In our new world, it is a quiet place. Later you will definitely like this place." said Rani with a smile.

" Mother.. I miss you so much. Do you know, I've been sick and hospitalized. I haven't eaten either, my stomach is hungry. I don't have any clothes either, Mom. All my clothes, my toys and photos, as well as the pictures I painted of our family are on fire. I don't have anything Mother. Can I go to your place?" said Tama while crying.

" yes.. I know how you are, Tama. I understand the pain you're going through. But Mom, everything here can't do anything. You are patient, my son. I am sure you will be able to get out of your suffering. I believe you." Rani again advised Tama who still looked glum.

" good, Mother. Promise to try. Forgive the crybaby Tama." said Tama while wiping her tears.

" We're all saying goodbye. Take good care of yourself. Remember the word, do not live with vengeance. Be a good child, a good one for all. Don't forget about what you taught me every day. I'm sure you're a good reminder. Yes, we have not much time. When you wake up, smile. And look at the morning sun with joy. Find out what's around you. I'm sure you'll find something valuable for your life" Rani said at the end.

Then everyone waved to Tama.

" Goodbye, Tama" said Tanu, Rani, Riko and Raka, Moon and did not forget Rama who was still with his cute face waving both hands towards Tama.

Soon their figure in Tama's dream disappears. Tama called out to him repeatedly, but they did not show their faces again. Tama panicked until she tried to run after him. Eventually, he fell off the sofa where he slept.

" Brukk.." Tama fell.

" Ohhhh." lamented Tama then tried to get up and grabbed the sofa and tried to sit down.

" Am I dreaming? Father, Mother, Brother, Rama, I'm glad to see you. You guys are treating my longing. Mother.. Dad, I remember your message. I'll try to be what you're asking. Wait for me, Dad.. Mother. I will definitely follow you to the place you told me to." Tama said then got off the sofa and walked towards the exit.

It turns out it's morning. Sunlight penetrated the sidelines of the trees around the Hill. Not to forget, the sound of beautiful birds coloring the beauty of the atmosphere in the morning.

" Mom, look.I fulfilled my advice to smile this morning. Thank you for encouraging me." said Tama then he ran around the front of his secret house while laughing cheerfully himself.
