Like the previous nights tonight Via can only go home at 10 pm and arrive home at 11. After a day of activity Via never feel tired and complain. Because Via thinks there's no point in him complaining it won't change his life. Who to whom Via could complain. While all this time Via has no friends to occupy to share the story.
That night when Via arrived at his parents' house. Via finds the house still bright.
Usually when home from work his parents are dark in because the occupants of the house have fallen asleep. Why is her parents' house still bright tonight? Are his parents not asleep? But why haven't they fallen asleep while the night is late? Are Via's parents waiting for Via's return? But where could they have waited for Via's arrival. It felt impossible because Via knew his parents did not care about him.
If it is true they are waiting for the arrival of Via how happy Via to know that his parents really care about him. That means they still love Via.
Thinking about it made Via feel very happy he even smiled even though it was still his assumption.
And sure enough when Via entered the house Via found the mother was still awake. But there is something different from the mother's gaze when looking at Via. He stared hard at Via. Via who was given such a sharp gaze found it hard to move. Let alone moving breathing it feels so difficult.
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense. Though at that time there were only Via and his mother but Via felt being looked at by a thousand people. The atmosphere became more tense as the mother began the conversation.
"Just come home???" ask mom briefly.
"iii-yaaa ma'am" replied Via stammering.
"You tired?" Ask mother.
Getting such a question, Via again thought, did his mother start to care about him again?
"Mom asks are you tired?" Ask Ms. Hani to repeat her question.
"Tii..ti..dakk ma'am!!!". Answer Via
"Come!!!" Call mom to tell Via to sit next to her.
"Ti.ti. I'm not really tired!" Reject Via.
"Ba.ba.ik ma'am" replied Via fear.
I don't want to get my mother's anger back. Via immediately sat down beside the mother with his head bowed.
"Facing to the side!!!" Mother's orders.
"Hah" answered Via confusion.
"Mother said face the side!"
Without answering his mother's orders Via then turned his body in front of the mother.
"Not in front of Mom. In that direction!" said Hani's mother while pointing at the direction in front of her.
Via then turned back in the direction indicated by the mother. A moment after that Via felt that someone was massaging his shoulder. Via who was confused by what happened tried to stop what was being done by the mother because Via felt strange with the behavior of the mother.
"Muu. Via is okay, ma'am. Via is not tired. Mending mom now just rest this late at night mom." Say it with fear.
"Shut up!!!" Answer Hani's mother with great emphasis.
The frightened Via fell silent again. Over time the massage turns painful. I don't know what his mother was doing with Via's body. Until without realizing it, Via returned to shed tears. Via was completely confused by the attitude of the mother. Via feels today did nothing wrong but why did the mother hurt him again.
"Sickness Buu. hiks...hikss" said Via while enduring pain.
