ANELIC

Chapter 32

SMP Bench Anelis

Anelis returned to her home after being tired of walking from school. He and his friends talk about a lot of things. Ranging from boring lessons to favorite TV shows.

Home to Anelis is a storytelling place too. His family used to discuss exciting things when gathering. At that time it was not usually a quiet house. Mr. Anelis is still working outside, his mother seems to have gone home. Anelis put her bag in the room.

"Open, Buk." Anelis is looking for her mother in the kitchen.

No response from his mother even though the house is not locked here and there. Anelis looks for her mother in the room who knows sleep. He stepped foot into the room, a new building room resulting from the partition of the TV room and dining room. Her mother wasn't there. Only his mother's cell phone was left behind.

"Magos ..." Anelis was shocked by the sound of the phone.

In her heart, Anelis wanted to be indifferent, no matter the sound of the phone ringing did not stop. From the beginning his mother's phone was a personal item at home. He did not dare to borrow for a moment. Anelis came out of that room. He turned to his own room again.

"Magos ..." This time it rings more often.

Curiosity led him back to his mother's room. Who knows the phone is important for work. Anelis raised it.

[Hello What is it that my message is not answered?] The heavy voice of a man was heard in Anelis' ear.

[Hello. May help?] Anelis tried to make a familiar greeting.

[Hello? Mom is out. It's Anelis.] Although Anelis knew there was no response. He kept saying his own name.

Tut... The connection was cut off after a few seconds of no sound. Bizarrely. Anelis put the phone back, just that a message from the same sender's name made him curious. Anelis opened a mailbox.

Honey, don't forget to see you tomorrow.

Anelis quivered reading her mother's message. The darling? Who calls my darling to my mother. As far as he is concerned, Father never called him dear. Surprisingly, the name of the sender of the message is a female name. His mother clearly named him Airin. Could it be that Airin is a man?

Anelis was filled with many questions in her head. Without thinking again he read one message after another with the same name. Instantly Anelis made nauseous. He really wanted to vomit. All contain seduction is also typical death fighting young people. Anelis's hand shook. His age had to accept the fact that there were other people who called his mother friendly besides Father. Every day my mom and dad are romantic. Even their relationship is often a role model for other couples in large families. But what is all this? A betrayal? Infidelity. Anelis is getting nauseous.

Suddenly the shadow of his own family's destruction came. He put down the phone earlier, opened the bathroom door located inside the room as well. Anelis salivates her.

After the nausea went Anelis back to listen to the messages earlier. This time he switched to longer messages. There are even some messages that do not go in the inbox but are hidden. Anelis kept looking, the more she knew the more her heart turned. Now he feels betrayed by these messages. For her, she had been looking for another life besides Father, he and Andara.

Anelis draws her own conclusions. Airin is not a woman. Not just your friend or friend. Five new messages he had read were deleted. Also a history of incoming and missed calls on behalf of Airin. Anelis put her mother's phone back on. He kept the secret in his memory forever.

Anelis High School Bench.

By then, Maghrib, Anelis' mother had not returned. An office event that requires him to go out of town for three days. Father, Anelis also Andara assented while telling the woman to take care of herself. Anelis deliberately kept all the secret messages and inbox stories. Although every afternoon he saw the mother who had not yet had a big hijab writhing spoiled on the arm of the Father. Every day he had to watch them love each other so much without knowing the real secret. Anelis hoped the story would not be revealed at any time. He did not want his parents involved in other bickering besides the matter of Mbah Putri.

"Mother's not here yet, what time do you want to pick up?" Mr. Arkain asked Anelis who was busy playing HP.

"Not Sir."

"It's been half seven unfinished times as well. Try calling Ne."

"One doesn't have a pulse." Anelis cuek only. It's been a lot of time when his mother's outside service came home late at night.

"You like not to care about your mother." Mr. Arkain moved from the TV room, he chose to observe the front room window that was still open.

Indeed, since Anelis read the messages, Anelis kept a little distance. More precisely, Anelis was less comfortable when he had to ask his mother about work problems. Anelis's mind was filled with prejudices that only tormented her. He was afraid that the truth of the messages was real. Anelis is back playing her phone. A message rattled that phone.

[Fetch Mom in 10 minutes on the regular sidewalk.]

During this time Anelis was often pick up his mother. But it's never this late. Usually if it's a business and must be until night, his mother will immediately call you. But today it's not. Without thinking, Anelis shouted.

"Sir, I'm asking you to pick me up on the regular sidewalk."

"Now?" ask the Father from the living room.

"Yes sir."

Anelis forgot to read the details of her mother's message. Ten minutes is not now. Anelis resumed his activities. This time he put a headset in his ear.

***

Mr. Arkain was so eager to pick up his wife. Going home until half-time was too late for him. He also cut his duck motorbike and drove up the sidewalk of the district road. His wife was discharged from outside service in the district which required a stay of up to three days. For Mr. Arkain it is only natural, training to improve the professionality for his wife's career.

Mr. Arkain arrived at the area near the sidewalk. Now he slowed down his vehicle while looking at the bus that arrived. Who knows the bus that stopped taking his wife. Right behind Pak Arkain like seeing the figure of his wife just that he did not get off the bus but from a private car.

Deg. Arkain's heart stopped. He would never have expected a wife he trusted so much that it was double. His wife kissed the back of the man's hand and then let the man who drove him away with his car. Mr. Arkain went back into hiding, afraid the car had turned around. Apparently not.

Anelis' mother walked straight and then turned right onto the sidewalk where Anelis was picked up. He walked around as if nothing was wrong. Mr. Arkain re-sliced his duck bike. He actually picked up his wife on the sidewalk. Without a word also opening greeting he asked his wife to go up and as soon as possible bring his motorbike back home. Heart rumbles. He obviously can't talk about it tonight. The Princess is at home. Tomorrow is a good time to vent his emotions.

***

Mornings that are usually warm become cold. An atmosphere of anger had enveloped Anelis' house. After Mbah Putri left for her stall at the market, the discussion about her mother's affair was inevitable. He brought the celurit that he should have used to find grass. But he put it on the pot and the frying pan owned by his wife.

Mother Anelis who despite trying to defend herself clearly has missteps. Moreover, Anelis had also found these messages before. Anelis did not speak up even a little he was silent and tried to cover the ears of Andara who was younger. Anelis tried hard in her room.

"How dare you betray me! I don't have a car you're pretending to be with that guy. Who's he!"

Mr. Arkain brandished the celurit right in his wife's face.

"Listen to me first, it's not what you heard."

Indeed, all this time rumors about Mother Anelis who cheated have often been heard but Mr. Arkain always ignored. Unfortunately, Anelis' mother did not know if her husband had seen her on the sidewalk yesterday.

"I saw it. I'm watching you two. Never mind Anelis's been conspiring with you because she's always picking you up."

"It's true when you talk. Don't take Anelis." Mother Anelis no less snapping.

Anelis from the room heard his father's words. He felt himself to be blamed and was wrong. Anelis shed tears. The messages that made him nauseous first, as if re-read.

"I can't believe you and Anelis anymore. You guys are the same, let's be disappointed." Mr. Arkain swung his sting. Almost up to his wife's face but he turned and targeted the frying pan as well as the pot. He let the cooking utensils cook the formless peyot.

In the heart of Anelis' mother held back angrily. All this time he was just silent because he still wanted to defend. Yes, she used to be in a relationship with a man at that time, initially only to find pleasure when her husband was always rude at home. The man was just a vent for him. But seeing her husband increasingly become-so when angry, makes her want to get away and free from the snares of men who managed to make her have two children. He's getting sicker.

"alright. Just divorce me. I've obviously betrayed you and ruined our family. If you need to kill me with your celurit. All this time you've killed my feelings with your attitude!" Anelis' mother shrieked in tears.

Mr. Arkain who witnessed his wife getting weaker just felt even more angry. He not only targeted the pan but also the pan but the glass and plate. All he broke. The sound of shards was clearly heard in Anelis' ear. His heart is getting cut. Satisfied with the house stuff, Arkain sir darted away. No matter what the neighbors hear in the morning.

Since then, the Anelis family has not been the same. Even though they made peace through Mr. De, they were still injured each other. His father and mother only wear masks for the good name of their family and children.

Once cracked will still crack. It's hard to make it whole and back up straight. Evidently they re-repeated the same checks with different problems.

Until one day one of them prefers to end the fabric of love that no longer cools the heart.

***

Anelis blinked her eyes. I don't know why the pieces say hello again. Her mother's motions have now changed, she has veiled and dressed more shari'i, although all is clear and there is clarification, her heart is still wounded. Yes, the divorce of his parents carried over until he married. Because he witnessed firsthand the warmth and destruction of the family. He knows all the roots of the problem.

"Are you okay, Ne?" Mother rubbed the arm of Anelis who was still bowed in.

Angelis raised her head. He will ask for the last time.

"Nlt ... Is it possible that Ibuk was looking for another stopover because you were so stubborn? Buk, do you think Ibuk mas Rajasa will do the same?"

The question of Anelis poured into the heart of the veiled woman. He knew he was full of sin and self-righteousness. It's not all his fault.

"Yes. Sometimes our hearts are tired of facing people who do not want to change. That's an old story, I hope you've completely forgotten it." Anelis' mother got off the dinner table. He went to the guest room at Anelis' apartment.

Andara who no longer understand the story, can only look at her brother and mother alternately.

Anelis thought back to Rajasa's email. Love never ends in sorrow. Anelis is ready to change her life before what happened to her Mother. He does not want his heart to suffer the same fate.
