Breaking the Boundaries of Love

A Heavy Choice

Plaaaakk....

Mom's hard slap landed on Rara's face. Mother was so angry to hear the news that Rara auditioned for talent at the sub-district office.

Rara held her cheek. Ex-Red slap Mom just now imprinted on her cheek. He tried not to cry. This is not the first time his mother treated him like this, if he made even a small mistake Mother did not hesitate to hit him.

"Mom..."

"I don't want to hear your excuses!"

"Give Rara a logical reason, Mak. Why, Mom"

"It's pretty clear. Once Mom said no, NO!!!"

"Mother, always forbid me to hang out with people. Limiting Rara's friendship. Limiting Rara's favorite, Mak. Actually why? What's wrong Rara wants to go forward, Mak?!"

Mother had raised a rattan in her hand, about to hit Rara.

"Hit, Mom. Hit Rara until Mom is satisfied. Or if you have to kill Rara. Than Emak Pasung Rara like this. From childhood Rara had no friends other than, Janna. My mom forbids Rara from playing. Mother also forbids Rara to sing, even though Mother knows Rara likes to sing. Why, Mom. Why is Rara locked up like this?"

"You've dared to fight back, Mom now?!"

"Rara wants justice, Mommy. Do not because of the past of the mother then Rara who has to bear the consequences. This isn't fair, Mom"

Mom threw the rattan at Rara. Right about his forehead. Her clenched hands held back her anger, Rara now could no longer be restrained. He just didn't want his son to suffer like what he was going through.

"Well if that's what you want, get the hell out of here. And from now on you're not my son anymore. You and your father I'd consider dead"

Mom threw all Rara's clothes and books. Then shut the door.

"Maaackk... Mak's... "

Rara banged on the door. But there was no response from inside the house. Rara just kept quiet about her stuff.

Rara walks gontai down the village road. He doesn't know where else to go. Want to go to the house oom Benny, of course very far especially on foot. He has no food or money.

"Come with me", the young man dragged and forced Rara into the car.

Rara was clashing, she was screaming.

"Shut up!! I'm not gonna hurt you. I'll take you somewhere safe. So shut up and come with me!", the young man ordered.

Rara began to try to calm herself down. Observing every road through it. The dark of the night made it difficult to remember the direction of the road.

Three hours later they stopped at a house. A simple house in a housing complex on the city border. It only takes half an hour to get to the city.

The young man helped Rara down and brought her things. Put it in the guest room. The house is only 78 square meters, with a room, bathroom and kitchen and a minimalist living room. After that he handed the house keys to Rara.

"You can stay here as you please and you can use the facilities here as well as you like. It's the house key. And don't forget to lock all the doors and windows"

"But ... What does all this mean? I don't get it? And... You who?"

"Tomorrow I'll take care of your school move to a school closer here. So you don't have to go back to that village"

"What's? Waita minute. Explain to me slowly what does all this mean?"

The young man was sitting on the sofa, Rara followed him. He sat in front of the young man

"You who?"

"I was ordered by my Master to bring you here. Here you can learn and practice vocal calmly. All your living and school expenses have been borne by you. So I hope you can be wise in your actions"

"Who is that Master you mean?"

"I'm sorry I have to get back to you, sir. Excuse me"

Without answering Rara's question, the young man went up to his car. And then disappeared into the dark of the night.
