I could only lie down for almost a month. I didn't expect that my body would feel as good and as stiff as this. Taking a long rest is really terrible.
I tried to get up and sit by my bed, and my mother told me that I had recovered today. Soon I heard someone knocking on my door.
“Come in, the door is not locked”, I said.
Suddenly I saw my mother and a beautiful woman at the door of my room. Her hair is blue and covered. Like I know him? Who's he. I looked carefully as it turned out Sitha. It is fitting that I did not recognize her a little, now she looks more beautiful and feminine than ever before.
“Hah Sitha, it has been a long time since we met”, AKu said as he pointed at her.
Why does Sitha look weird? His face suddenly turned red and then turned his body.
Suddenly mother entered quickly and closed the door of my room leaving Sitha standing in front of my room door. Then she walked quickly and grabbed my head.
Bukkkkp…
“What are you doing stupid?”, Mom screams.
“Aduh... Why ma'am, what's wrong with me?”
“Wear your shirt, aren't you ashamed of being seen by Sitha?”
“Eeehhh”, I feel shocked because I didn't realize it.
“Darling I'm sorry, I don't know why he's so stupid. Whereas when she was a child she was very intelligent”, Mother spoke to the sky while holding her hands together like an apologist.
“Dad forgive me, now I'm stupid for being hit by mom” often, I follow the movements of mom.
“What did you say?”, Mom looked upset and looked at me like she wanted to kill me.
“Hahaha. No ma'am, I'm sorry”
“Quick-wear your clothes”
“Iya bu”, Then I put on my shirt and pants.
“Sitha, enter”, Mother said, then I saw Sitha open the door and enter my room.
“Sitha how is grandpa doing?” I asked Sitha.
“Baik”, Sitha replied.
Suddenly, my mother came back to claw my head.
“Aduh. Why do you keep beating me. I just recovered from illness instead of being dearest even beaten”
“Had, baby why are you so stupid, why don't you ask Sitha first”, I look sulky
“Bu without asking I already know he's okay”,
Suddenly, my mother came back to pin my head
“Aduh”
“Do not dispute parents”
Sitha could only laugh at the behavior of the two of us. Honestly, she looks more beautiful when she laughs. Then I saw mom whispering into Sitha's ear. I don't know what they're talking about, yet he smiled shyly while slightly nodding his head. After that, my mother left us both.
“A long time ago yes we did not meet, more than 7 years”, I said to Sitha
“Hm”, Sitha just nodded.
“By the way what did mom just say?”
“Tante says that now you no longer smell, hahaha”
Sitha laughed so much that her eyes seemed to be smiling. Ah.. cute.
“Hah, did mom tell you if I came home full of shit?”
“No. I saw it for myself, even I healed your wounds”
“Thank you, Sitha”
“Sama-sama”
Suddenly the atmosphere was silent for a moment. I don't know what happened to us? Is this because we have never met in a long time. I saw him just looking down and playing his hand on his thighs.
“Why you? Does your shame grow as you age, hahaha”
She pouted as usual, her cheeks bulging with her hands folded in front of her chest and she looked away. It seems like it hasn't changed, thank God. Maybe we just haven't gotten used to each other.
I tried to get up to stand up, but I almost fell down because I lost my balance. Suddenly Sitha supported my body with her body. My position was like being hugged by Sitha, very tight, to the point that I could smell her body. Then our eyes met each other. We were only stunned for a long time, but regained our senses when we realized that there were footsteps approaching my room.
Reflexively I sat in my original position, as well as Sitha. The atmosphere feels very clumsy.
“Hmmm”, Mother said while looking at us with a gaze between suspicious and happy. What's wrong with her?
I felt wrong with my mother's murmur. I saw Sitha's face flushed red, fortunately the sky was a little dark so the hue of her face did not look so clear.
“Mom just wanted to tell you that now is the time for breakfast, hihi”, Mother said with an end to insinuating laughter
“Each bu”, I answer mother's questions like a soldier. Damn, I was totally misbehaved because of mom's behavior.
This morning mom really sucks to make me scream because of the wrong behavior.
“Oh yes aunt, Sitha said back at first”, Sitha said as she got up from her seat and slightly bent her body and went towards the exit of my room.
“Where do you love, let's have breakfast with”, Mother said by holding Sitha's hand so she doesn't leave my room.
“Oh no, thank you aunt. Sitha was already cooking, pity if grandfather had to eat by himself”
“Ya has been waiting for a while”, mom said then left for a while then returned with a food box and handed it to Sitha. “Bawk son, eat with grandpa at home”
“Sorry aunt has been a hassle. Sitha accept. Sitha left now yes, thanks for her food”, Sitha received mother's gifts with pleasure.
“Iya equally”
Sitha left our house.
*****
We had breakfast as usual, as if nothing had happened. There is just a little different, mother's cooking looks very luxurious and delicious. I don't know where you get this much money.
“Mother, this is for ibu”
I gave him a bag of money that I set aside for 7 years. But before that I took a small part of it to buy tin as a material to make my bullets. Fortunately the price of tin is really cheap, because it is the lowest quality metal.
“What is this son?”, Mother asked me
“My hard work for 7 years”, I think there's nothing I should cover up right now. I must have known all the truth from Mr. Einhard.
“Are you right for 7 years going to Schmiede village alone?”, Ask mom.
“Iya bu”, I replied.
Bukk…
Suddenly a story leads to my head.
“Aduh... Pardon Andra, bu”, I can only bow down lethargic regret all my actions.
Then I saw my mother crying. I knew that this would happen before. Whatever my reasons, I know that I'm the one at fault.
“Why are you hiding everything from mom?”
“Because I know mom will definitely not allow it”, I said while staring down because I did not dare to look at mom's face.
“Then why you still do it”
“I no longer have bu” time
“Why are you in a hurry, you are still 14 years old. You can still wait a few more years, your future is still long”
“No ma'am, if I don't do it now, it won't be useful again”
“Why?”
“Because it's bu”
I took out my handgun and the bullet.
“I asked dad to make it 20 and now it's two. Honestly, ma'am, it's not enough. If you'd known it a long time ago, I'd be sure that you would have let me go to Thompson's grandfather's house to study. But on the other hand I still want to stay with my mother, because I don't know how much longer we can stay together. Again forgive Andra, bu”
Then I approached my mother and hugged her.
“Iya son, I'm sorry. But don't you repeat” again, Mother said then kissed my head.
“Iya ma'am, yesterday happened to be the last day I studied there”
“Thank God nak”.
The conversation closed our breakfast that morning.
