Episode 13 Disappointment



Renata compresses her Mama's forehead with warm rice wrapped in cloth, giving a mouthwash to clean her Mama's mouth full of blood.


Mr. Sao decided to leave the House at that time, carrying some of his clothes, leaving without a word, disappearing along with the sound of his motorbike.


Richo was still sitting quietly in his place, bowed down, crying silently, his tears falling, Richo regretted his actions, in his mind if Renata did not reach him then bad things would happen.


Rosita's mother grimaces the pain of the mouthwash.


" That's why Mama shouldn't get angry early in the morning " said Renata sobbing


" I'm sorry Mama." Mother Rosita


" You did a great thing earlier, son." His words rubbed Renata's head gently


" You're all crazy people" Renata said


" How about we go to the market, we buy your new hairpin ?" ask Rosita's mother


" No want to !... Mama said Mama didn't have any money earlier "She still sobbed


" It's a lie, just so your father can hear it" explained his mother


Renata sighed in disbelief at her mother's words


" Mommy if you want to be angry with you, same Father, do not take us !" clearly Re


" Where dare Mama if only two, Mama thought if there were you she would not be rude " Mother Rosita said with a frown


Renata again did not believe what he heard, it turns out they were only a shield for his mother, but this shield was useless.


" Where are you going ?" Renata asked Rich who was walking away from them.


" Want to keep the axe and go to the toilet" Rich said, taking the axe with him.


"Mama don't ever try to act again like this "Renata said to Mama, stopping for a moment from compressing her Mama's forehead


" Never try to use us again as a shield, it doesn't work, it just adds to the list of beaten mama" Re said


" And what if I didn't reach Abang ?" ask Re


" Huh... What if I can't pull it down ?" tanya Re broke out in her tears imagining bad things happening


" But you succeeded ! " Say Mama


" Ohhhh...." Jerit Renata came back crying louder and louder


" You did it right, nothing happens now "Light Mother Rosita calms Renata.


" We live three lives how? " ask Renata in her despair


" Mama just divorced the Father, we went to leave the Father" Pinta Re with meta memelas on Mama


" You want to live without a father ?" ask Mama


" It's better than this" Re said


" Out there people who don't have a Father are seen as despicable "Obviously Ms. Rosita


" When do you want this to go on ?" Ask Re


" Calm down, your father will definitely return to us" said Ms. Rosita


" But while He will be, Rude, bouncer, the language is poignant, but you will come back as you used to be" he said


Renata was silent, not knowing where her mother came from, the lump on her head was still red and the wound on her gums was still bleeding but she was sure the man who did so would improve and return to being her husband.


Thus Renata Sunday, filled with tears, even the Happy Sunday from Pitra is no longer a remedy for him. His head hurt from crying too much, Renata did not worship and decided to go back to sleep.

    Since that incident Rosita's mother never again nagged long in the morning, as well as Mr. Sao, Pak Sao also no longer returned home at midnight, Mr. Sao faster than usual.


But the state of the house is getting more awkward than usual. They will never be in the same room, If Mr. Sao watches TV they will go away looking for their respective places, Mama to the stall, Rich and Renata to his room, thus by eating or else, they avoid one room with Mr. Sao. Renata joked a lot with Rich and his mom.


One night in May, Mr. Sao came home early, hearing the sound of Pak Sao's motorbike automatically they again split up, Renata to the room, Rich too, so did, only Rosita's mother stays silent watching TV.


" r.... Rich...out of your room" cried Mr. Sao.


" Tomorrow if you're conscious" said Rosita's mother


" Consider you, for you are all" he told his wife.


Mr. Sao walked straight into his children's room, knocking violently.


" Get out.. get out ..." Said Mr. Sao


Richo came out first, following Renata, Renata stood behind his brother, walking up to their Father whose face and eyes were so red from drunkenness.


" You guys don't have the genteel I see, your dad's coming home, you're running into the room not welcoming his dad." Said Mr. Sao staggering with a Drunkenness


" Huh.... Mama you guys, who do you think this is? " ask Mr. Sao


" Huh... This is my house.. Sao. "


" You guys are hitchhiking here, if I want to get rid of you all, so you're a badass hah MAU ?" Prattling


" It's been... you've been drunk .." said Rosita's mother.


" You shut up. It's because of all of you...See. hah .. see... My own son is afraid of me... My own son... " Said Mr. Sao with a smack on his chest


Renata and Rich are still keeping a safe distance, Renata hiding behind his brother.


" Re... Here son here same Mr ... " His voice extended its hand to his Son


" You used to always sit on the lap of the Father, still the carrying Father until Junior High, why are you afraid of the Father now Son... Hah.. It's still your Father son..." His words hit his chest


Renata cried again to hear this, Renata squeezed tight his brother's clothes, considering it is true that Re was still spoiled to his Father even though he was Junior High, but he was still very young,


" My own son was afraid of me " said Mr. Sao bowed, tears dripping from his eyes, but soon Mr. Sao wiped them off.


" You know your mother..." Said Mr. Sao bowed, pointing at his wife


" Make Him never enough money, want whatever my salary every month, I love all the same Mama you guys, but continue never enough" said Mr. Sao


" I've always been said to be cheating on me. I've always been accused of cheating" he added.


" Anything happens, cheated on me." he said.


" Where... ? To know you're sick.." Her screams on Rosita's face


" I asked for money to hold on the road, Your mother is angry, meaning I don't have money" he said


" But now I am a Bad Husband, a Bad Father, ask your Mama is not really a wife" said Mr. Sao


" What should happen between us, you two don't need to know. " Obviously Mr. Sao


" Now you're taking sides...You also have a difficult position" explained Mr. Sao


" You don't have to interfere with what happened between this Father and your Mother"


" You're still small yet to understand "he said back


Mr. Sao looks so disappointed from the eyes, indeed children should not have to see how parents fight. The child will only judge what is visible, in favor of what they believe to be true.


Even if abusive actions are not the right thing, but there is a cause and effect for why someone changes, Renata's parents must also experience a thumping love story when they are young.


But that changed when they no longer understood each other, the feelings of love and affection were still there, but is it true that feelings between their parents can still be a strong foundation in the Renata family.
