Selling Children for Treasure



On arrival Michi at his home, who had been picked up by Mr. Andika from Mr. Suryo's house. Michi looks confused. Michi who wants to find a confiding friend who turns out Siska herself is not at home.


Mr. Andika who saw Michi finished calling Siska, thought that Michi was calling Adrian. Instantly Andika took the phone that was held by Michi's hand.


"Who did you just call, must be that poor guy, right?" While taking the phone from Michi's grasp.


"Not Pa, just now Michi called Siska, meeting Michi's campus." His law was defending himself, because it was Siska whom he called.


But Andika does not believe Michi's explanation, because the emotions that have mastered her.


"Michi, how many times has Papa told you. Papa has chosen a suitable reciter for you. But why are you still looking for that useless man." Seemed annoyed with the extremely stubborn Michi.


"What the hell, Pa! Insist on wanting to match me up, don't want to see Michi happy. What abundant wealth makes Papa happier, than seeing the happiness of his baby living with a man of his own choice." Cerocos Michi with her cries.


"SILENCE!!"


"PLAQUE!!"


The Papa who did not receive all the Michi babbles that he thought were completely useless. Not even reluctant to slap Michi. The mother who saw it was only able to cry.


"You think we can live just by eating words of affection. You can eat love. You can't see clearly. We are different from that poor man's family. Papa decides who the man deserves for you." Said Andika who was mounting her anger.


Feeling that all his words were no longer ignored by his father, Michi ran to his room to lock himself up. The mother could not say anything, seeing her daughter running crying.


"Michie!! Papa hasn't finished talking." Call him while looking at his son with his face that looks very angry.


"See Ma! It was the result of Mama's upbringing. You've dared to fight Papa now. Anyway Papa doesn't want to know. Tomorrow the match-making must continue." Said Andika who rushed to leave her own wife in the family room.


Seeing her husband go out of the house, Bu Ayu herself did not know where her husband was going.


Sitting on the sofa in the living room alone, with a messy mind and heart is not careless. Thinking about the situation of her son who is now devastated by the selfishness of her husband.


"Now what should I do? I don't want this match to happen. Either way, I should be able to stop Papa. But how? I'd better talk to Michi now." Bu Ayu monologues with himself.


Bu Ayu got up from her seat, and rushed to Michi's room. In hopes that Michi would talk to him.


An opportunity that was not wasted by Bu Ayu, by climbing a few stairs, because it happened that Michi went to the room that used to be used by Michi to calm down, for the sake of removing his fatigue when many activities are on campus.


In front of Michi's room door, there was a slight doubt with Bu Ayu. But in order to appease his daughter, Bu Ayu continued to knock on his door while calling his daughter.


"Mich... Dear Michi, this is Mama Nak. Mama can come in." Said Bu Ayu who was still standing in front of the door.


"Michi.." once again Bu Ayu called him.


The door opened, Michi hugged the mother who was still standing in front of the door. With a sobbing cry, Michi said that she disagreed with the match.


They took off his arms, Bu Ayu invited Michi to go into the room to calm him down. The door was closed and they both sat on the bed.


"Michi, Mama's sorry, son, Mama can't do anything now. Everything is controlled by your father. Mama's also confused, what makes your father so eager about this matchmaking." Said Ms. Ayu.


"Mama is not wrong, Michi is not out of thought with Papa. Tega is eager to match Michi with a man whom Michi does not like at all, not even know. Michi better get out of this house Ma. Rather than having to follow Papa's wishes." Michi responded to Mama's words.


"Why are you crying?" ask Michi.


"It's okay Michi, Mama just sad can't do anything to look after Mama's only child." Answer Ms. Ayu.


For a moment Michi fell silent, as did Bu Ayu. I don't know what the two are thinking. There was no sound from either of them.


Silenced by the atmosphere in the room, Michi suddenly said, "Ma, how about Michi just leave the house!"


Sontak Bu Ayu who heard it was surprised by what his daughter said. But in her heart she said, "Maybe leaving home is the first solution, but not demanding it is likely to cause a bigger problem."


"No! If Michi leaves, your father will be even more angry. Both of us are no longer allowed to go out." Legally.


"Then what should Michi do now Ma! Should Michi just take this matchmaking for granted?"


"No!"


"Until any time Michi will never agree to this matchmaking Ma!" With all her sadness Michi left her room.


"Mich... Where are you going, son!" A little yelling called out to Michi who was already walking down the stairs.


Michi kept running away from the mother who stood in front of the door and kept calling her. Not to be ignored by Michi.


But unfortunately, when Michi opens the door to his house. In front of the door of his house was already standing upright the Papa. Michi was surprised.


"Pa-Papa," he said stammered as he looked at the person at the door.


Quickly Mr. Andika held onto Michi's arm so as not to go out of the house.


"Where are you going! Don't try to escape from this house. Or you'll be sorry." Said Mr. Andika while pulling his daughter's arm back into the house.


"Lepasin Pa, Michi's hand hurts." His whine hopes the Papa will release the grip of his hand that continues to pull him up to the living room.


Michi's body was knocked to the floor and almost her head hit the corner of the chair in the living room, as a result of encouragement by the Papa while removing his grip.


Fortunately, the mother quickly came to protect her daughter by installing the body of the mother.


"You've already begun to dare to rebel now!" She held her index finger in front of Michi's face.


"Father! That's enough, Pa! What's not satisfied after all what Papa took from Mama." Said the Mama who made Michi think about the words of the Mama.


"This house is Papa in power. Including your lives." Sahut the Papa.


The mother simply bowed in tears, hearing her husband's words. Husband who used to be kind and sweet, now turned rude and did not care about his family.


"Bad papa! Tega sells children for treasure." Michi said as she continued to cry.


Not accepting the words of his daughter, Mr. Andika again pulled Michi's hand and dragged her into the warehouse. Michi continues to rebel, but because the power of the Papa is stronger. Michi was successfully put into the warehouse and locked it from the outside.
