Eagle With Broken Wings

Chapter 2

When the sun has shown its throne, the Eagle is still at home in the basecamp. 

"Lang, don't you go home?" ask Kevin.

"In a minute" said the Eagle.

He stared blankly ahead, even though there were only views of the rice fields and mountains. Eagle heart sometimes feels peaceful when enjoying the expanse of the universe in the morning, especially when remembering the saturation at home when seeing the mother who is always busy this and that.

"Elang," called Falisha in a soft voice, making her friends who heard seem to want to vomit.

The eagle glanced at Falisha at a glance, then looked back ahead.

"Attempt me home, yes!" pinta Falisha, she's already spoiled on the Eagle's arm. Of course, Falisha's gait made the young man angry, he brushed it off violently.

"People here aren't just me, Falisha. There's Kevin, Raka, Daffa and Reno" said the Eagle, naming all his friends.

"But I want to be with you" whined Falisha.

"Gue can't," the Eagle refused as he stood leaving Falisha and turned on his motor.

Meanwhile, the Eagle companions laughed at Falisha who was again and again rejected. They are also on the bike.

"Lo's not self-conscious, Fal. Eagle risi sama lo. You're rich in glue, stick to him, and you can go home with bestie lo," points Kevin towards Falisha's friends. After saying that, Kevin drove his bike away from the place and was followed by another.

Falisha stomped her feet to the ground, she was very upset at her companions Eagle. He was determined that if he became the Eagle's lover, he would do what he wanted.

"Report, guys," Falisha told her two friends.

Eagle itself does not go where the direction and destination, as long as you do not go home first.

The Aiyla apartment

Aiyla had just finished cooking, she was staring at the dinner menu which she thought was too much. Aiyla took the initiative to share it with her front room neighbors, as well as for people passing by on the highway. At the moment Aiyla distributed the food, just then also the Eagle flashed before her. The man almost hit Aiyla and a scavenger who was receiving food from Aiyla.

"God ...  God," cried Aiyla.

"It's okay, Non?" ask the scavenger's mother.

"It's okay, ma'am," said Aiyla, lucky that no food was spilled.

"The young man was, Non. He likes speeding on the road with four friends," said the scavenger's mother.

"But to be honest, they're good, you know, Non. Like to share food and others," he continued.

Aiyla only smiled faintly over the information of the young man that Aiyla believed was a member of a motorcycle gang.

"Yes, already. Then excuse me first," said Aiyla, answered a nod by the scavenger's mother.

[Where are you, Eagle?]

Notifications entered his cell phone, Eagle casually stuffed food into his mouth while glancing at the contents of the message from his mother. 

"Why bother taking care of me?" grunts Eagles.

Yurika, the Eagle's mother, was pacing back and forth at home in anxiety. Because the eagle does not usually come home late at night like this. Usually when he came home, the Eagle was already asleep. Yurika continued to make phone calls to the child, even though she knew the results would not be answered. He kept trying to contact the Eagle. Many times the call has not come to fruition. In the end, Yurika gave up, she sighed softly, then looked at her phone, read the call letter from the campus. Regarding the delay of the Eagle and his jail attitude towards his classmates.

***

The next day, Yurika deliberately set out in the afternoon just to meet the Eagle. However, when Yurika gave the summons from the campus, the Eagle only gave a glance. And chose to continue his breakfast nonchalantly without looking at the mother.

"What is this, Eagle?" ask Yurika.

"You can read, right? Then read it yourself. It doesn't have to be explained" said the eagle.

Yurika exhaled with all her chest, she looked at her only child. Failing to educate the child, she has been busy developing her beauty and boutique business for the future of Eagle.

"Please Eagle, be a good boy!"

"Indeed all this time, I was a bad boy? You never know anything about me. So, never mind my business, just take care of your business!" snapped the Eagle while putting the spoon and fork roughly, making Yurika's heart ache. Exceeding his pain when he found out the father of his son was cheating.

"Elang," said Yurika, looking at the child's back. If not for the bitch, he and his father Eagle would have educated the child well.

"Sorry ...," said Yurika lirih. Although slowly, his words could still be heard by the Eagle.

"Rice."

The eagle left the dining room, Yurika just stared at her son's nano. Their relationship became more distant, year after year. Even until the Eagle was about to graduate college, he and the Eagle were like strangers. It was only a miracle that Yurika was waiting for, for the Eagle to be kind to her. At the sound of the motor, Yurika stared from behind the window. The eagle is an adult, there are many things that he passes about the growth and development of the child.

"Patience, Madam. One day, Den Elang will appreciate Madam more," said the maid named Anisa, she has been with Yurika since Eagle was a baby. He also takes care of the Eagle while he is at work.

"In addition to failing in the household, I also failed in educating the child, Bi," said Yurika with teary eyes.

"Mrs ...." Nisa, her familiar greeting, could only hug the master and stroke his back. 

This lady of his must need a backrest. He also learns of the rottenness of his former master, the father of the Eagle. Nisa hopes Yurika and Eagle can make up. Nisa was also the one who knew best how Yurika and the Eagle were, since they had been living together for a long time. 

"Be patient, ma'am," said Nisa.

"Thank you, Nis. You have always been there for me" isak Yurika. Anisa just nodded and continued to hug the master. At least, he could ease the burden of the madam's grief.
