ARETTAS

GUESTS ARE NOT INVITED

Aretta's crying is still breaking with the pillow. Until his mind finally remembered the contents of the letter he had just read.

Paper by paper he had torn. Trying to write the right words to reply to a letter from Nino. His mind is still raging, between yes or no with the answer he will give.

"If I say yes, I don't know him well. After all, we are still the same snot children who do not understand about love ? If not, . ." Are muttered as he continued to rack his brain looking for the answer he would write through a letter.

Finally, after a long thought, Aretta wrote steadily the letter she was about to write. Word by word strung together as decently as possible so as not to disappoint the reader.

After she finished writing, Aretta immediately folded the piece of paper, and put it in the bag she always took to school. Aretta tried to close her eyes, because it was night time. Until the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of the house thwarted his efforts.

Aretta put up her ear, trying to hear the sound outside.

"Aretta !" A man's voice was heard from outside the house.

Aretta brought herself closer to the front door, and hoped the voice would call her name back.

"Aretta !" The man outside the house called back.

Soon Aretta opened the door and was surprised to find the man standing in front of her.

"Dad. . .!" Aretta shouted and immediately hugged her father tightly.

The crying broke again in his father's arms, he could no longer hold it. This time he really let out his stifled emotions.

Meanwhile, the father could only watch his son cry. Father deliberately let his son vent all the frustration that was on him. After all, this was all his fault that had to be tempted to seduce other women.

While the mother who heard Aretta's cry, immediately came out of her room. Trying to find out what makes her child cry.

But the step of the mother stopped when she found out her son who was crying in his father's arms.

"Have wept ! I brought you Are's favorite grilled chicken, here's my bribe." Father persuaded.

Meanwhile, his son only replied with a headband.

Dad could only resignedly realize he was so tightly hugged Aretta, as if he did not want to take off for a moment.

"Are, that's tired dad. Have a seat, baby !" Mother said softly, trying as if nothing had happened between them.

Aretta complies and pulls dad's arm to sit in the chair . Meanwhile, mom sat a little far away from dad's place.

Aretta glanced at father and mother in turn, still with her teary eyes.

"Are eat first yuk, daddy's bribe !" Father broke the silence.

"It's not hungry, dad." Aretta.

"From after school don't want to eat that. Go home and go to his room and don't want to go out." Said mom complaining to dad.

"What's that, Are ?" Ask dad.

Aretta was silent.

"Why don't you want to eat ?" Ask father gently.

"Are don't want to eat, Are you want me !" Aretta cried again.

Deg !

Mom's heart is beating hard. His brain started thinking about Aretta.

"Don't know all this time Aretta has known about everything." Mother said in heart.

He felt that his daughter knew everything. About his quarrel, even about the plans of his parents who will soon be separated.

"Kan, I'm here." Father softly said.

"But I'm not here every day." Aretta said still with tears.

"Muuuhh." Dad took a deep breath.

"Anyway, I want you here !" Aretta's still sulking.

While mothers who sit far apart can only glance occasionally at Aretta. He could not bear to see the pain of his son.

"Dengerin daddy ! Right now, I can't stay here. Now, mom and dad can't be together anymore. Later if Are already big, would understand !" He tried to explain very gently.

"You don't want to know, I have to be here !" Aretta said her tears again.

Meanwhile, the father had run out of words to explain to his daughter. He knew very well that his daughter was very stubborn from a small.

Dad grabbed Aretta's shoulder, and let her son's head sink into her chest.

While the mother also occasionally wiped her cheeks that were no longer able to stem her tears.

"Some time's come father Ajakin Are deh maen to dad's new home." Said dad trying to melt the atmosphere.

Hearing that, Aretta immediately got up from her seat.

"It's not going anywhere, Dad too ! Our home is here, and everything will never change !" Said Aretta running and slamming the door of her room.

Dad just sighed.

"It turns out this hard to explain to Aretta huh, ma'am ?" Ask dad shortly after the two without a chat.

"This is what I'm most afraid of !" Said mother lirih.

"For now, I can't continue our divorce proceedings ma'am ! The reason, of course because of Aretta." Father explained.

"What do you mean ?" Ask the curious mother.

"Dad will remain mother's husband, for Aretta's sake. But I also stayed at Rani's house. Because after all, Rani is already father's wife now." Father say.

"You mean, you want to meet me so ?" Mom's question started to rise.

"So much as you think. The most important thing now is Aretta !"

"If you think the more important thing is Aretta, then why are you also concerned about your mistress ?" Said the mother who could not control her emotions.

"Dad go first, ma'am. Please take care of Aretta. I'll be here a lot to visit Aretta." Father's words soon passed leaving the mother who was still sitting.

"May he say that ! He thought, only he's a man in this world ?" Benak mom.

"Aretta, open the door baby !" Mom said in front of Aretta's room door.

There's no answer

"Aretta, . . " Mom still persuades Aretta.

"Aaaaaarrgggh, go ! They don't want any more explanation. Go !" Aretta said from her room.

While the woman in front of her son's room, can only sit down in front of the door of his son's room.

"Aretta, sorry mom, naaaak ! Wrong mother, can't keep our household intact." Said the mother who could no longer hold back crying even in front of her child.

Aretta just cried hearing my mother's words.

"What's the way I apologize, can I get you back here again ?" Aretta said still with her cry.

"Please Aretta, open the door ! I want to hug you, baby !" Said the mother who was still crying.

Hearing her mother's words, Aretta felt pity. Then he opened the door of his room.

How surprised Aretta who found her mother sitting down in front of the door of her room.

Aretta then sat down with her mother and hugged her mother tightly, as if she did not want to lose. They also dissolve in a deep novelty.
