In Re's mind he wanted his brother to come see him soon, he wanted to tell him how their Father's attitude changed. But this week Richo has no news, Richo no longer has a mobile phone, Rich sold it on the grounds to connect his life.
Father and mother this week did not talk to each other, silent and unlike people who know each other, Mr. Sao went to work quietly and came home in the middle of the night also with silence.
A month passed and things were still the same. Renata returns home from school in the dark because there are additional lessons for the preparation of the National Junior High, Renata meets his house is dark, the stall does not break, and the,
Renata tries to get into the house, it turns out the door is not locked, Renata continues her footsteps, down every room of the house, turn on the house lights one by one, towards her room, change clothes, towards the kitchen, towards the kitchen, but still did not find his mother.
Renata stepped into his parents' room, still in the dark as well, Renata could see many of his mother who were sitting limp befriended by the dark and quiet, sobbing.
" Ma.." he said, stepping in
" yes" said Mama with a hoarse and soft voice symbolizing her sadness
" Why lock up in room ?" his tanya approached Mama sitting next to her Mama
Rosita's mother, whose eyes are swollen, her nose watering, looks at her daughter with grief, in Mother Rosita's mind that she does not want to show this unhappy side of being her Mama, Rosita's mother wanted to show only the happy side of marriage so that her young daughter did not have fear in the future of marriage.
" Why did your father change like that ?" Mother Rosita asked tightly in her tears,
She did not want to ask that, but the pain of her heart did not fade, her husband who came home at midnight was always drunk, angry with unclear reasons, always rude, always rude, when her son left for school, they always quarreled, Mother Rosita suspected that Mr. Sao had another woman in this city.
" I don't know.., maybe she had a bad day outside of "Re said in response to her Mama.
" Your father no longer gives his salary to Mama" continued Ms. Rosita,
" If she's just playing girls, Mama might be able to forget her, considering this isn't the first time your father cheated on you "His Mama's dream is getting broken
" His father cheating ?" Ask Renata
" Yes... do you think your Father is a good man ?" despite Rosita's anger, Rosita's mother does not realize that the statement undermines the trust of a girl who thinks her Father is a Hero in her Life
" Your father was from the moment you boys love to cheat, play girls there, play girls here" added Ms. Rosita back
" Your father was always angry, torturing Mama every night" Rosita said
Renata's tears flooded his face, Destroyed not only the fact that his Father loved to cheat but also the fact that his Father was always rude to his Mother.
But it is not the time to focus on what his Father has done, but to hear all the complaints of his mother, he said,
" But now that your father is a bouncer, drinking, cheating, I'm no longer strong, " said Ms. Rosita with her face back flooded with tears,
Renata does not know what to behave like, Renata is confused whether by patting her Mama's back will be influential, Renata cries not knowing what to do, Renata and Mama cry together to spend the twilight with tears.

Finally Richo came to visit Renata school, they had lunch together again, by not taking Yuni together.
" Why ?" Ask Rich back
" Go home and help my mom at the shop! so a gas or water gallon interloper is possible" Re explained back
" Why are you ? usually also buyers pick up themselves "said Rich back
" Pity Mama alone" Re said, looking down, while in her eyes had blocked the tears
" Why ?" ask Rich back
" Now the Evil Father, you like to hit, come home also in a state of drunkenness, I was afraid "re said akhinya crying, clearly visible lips and chin trembling because it held back his emotions
Rich just silently looked at his sister crying, gave her a tissue and let her cry.
Because Rich decided to stay at home and help his mother, this has been a year since He and his Father quarreled, maybe the problem of school is no longer a problem at Home. Knowing Rich back at Home, Mr. Sao did not give any Response, Mr. Sao remained cold and did not heed anything that happened at Home, Mr. Sao had his own world, like his own world, or Mr. Sao plays like a boarding boy at Home,
If you say the child should also be friendly to his parents, but how the child will be friendly to his parents if the parents do not give a good reply, Renata tries to greet his Father but can only nod and cool.
