From ignorance Ardella has started to see his house, in the yard of the house that has a flower garden, then there is an old bamboo chair, and, where his father was sitting and using a canoe while busy doodling on a book, Ardella began to move closer and stand beside, but there was no response at all from his father
Approaching her father, Ardella wants to say something. " Dad, Ardella wants to go to school in town." Ardella said by holding her license, although hesitant she still wants to express her wishes.
His father put down his pen and began to look at Ardella, as he began to talk, the sound of footsteps began to approach them, carrying a cup of black coffee.
Arella's stepmother came with a cup of coffee. "Sir, here's the coffee." Ardella's stepmother who looks meek in all her words.
After a few minutes continued with the arrival of Leli from the road in front of the house. Leli ran in front of Ardella's father and immediately embraced her hand.
"Leli wants to go to college, Dad." Spoiled talk sits in the middle between Ardella's father and Ardella's stepmother.
Leli's words were the same as Ardella said, making her think again.
"Daughter, for what high school will also be a housewife." Ardella's father doesn't like them very much.
Village people who are still old-minded problems are not the importance of school one of which is Pak Parsagiani Ardella's own father.
With a whine Leli pulled Ardella's father's arm while saying. "All of Leli's friends continued to study in the city, Leli's time was accommodated continuously." Said Leli in a sad tone.
Ardella fell silent and saw Leli's behavior that spoiled his father, once again he said that he also wanted to continue his school.
"I also want to continue my school." Ardella said back.
His father looked at him with Leli. "This year's harvest failed plus the sinking of the fairy ship made it even harder to sell crops, for capital and wages of the workers must be taken into account, too, not to mention your little sister who's coming to school soon." Ardella's father explained her distress.
The explanation of Pak Parsagian is so long as to make them understand the financial situation of their family. Sherlin Parsaulian's wife stroked her husband's shoulder and said a soft word.
"Pak how about this year we send Leli to college first, if our finances will be stable, Ardella can also go to college next year." Persuade Sherlin.
Hearing the words of his wife Pak Parsagian immediately decided that Leli who was going to college for this year, heard that stepmother and stepbrother Ardella smiled while glancing at Ardella's face that almost shed tears.
Holding back her tears, Ardella said a word to her father, "I'm a father's son, why I'm not the one who used to go to college, why I've always been more concerned with Leli than Ardella." Ardella's voice trembled withstanding the sorrow in her heart.
Continuing a further two words said that Sherlin and Leli were strangers in her family. "They're both nobody, but I love them so much, they're street people that I'm covering. " Said Ardella who was beginning to feel upset.
Prak,, Ardella's father heard the words angry and hit the table while pointing a finger at Ardella's face. "She is now your mother." His father said as he pulled Sherlin in front of Ardella.
Ardella replied that her mother was dead. "My mother is dead, she will never take the place of my mother." Ardella.
Sherlin hears Ardella's words, if it wasn't for Ardella's father still at home, it would have been Sherlin would have done something bad to Ardella. Leli also looked at Ardella with an annoyed face, it felt like Leli could not wait to hit Ardella.
"Hiks,, hysterics, hysterics." Sherlin covered her face as if she was crying at Ardella's words.
"Mother." Leli said to calm her mother.
Seeing the play of her stepmother made Ardella could not stand it and left them, then slammed the door of her room until it sounded out.
Their conversation continues outside.
"When I've been nice to Ardella, but why does she still not admit to me." While looking at the face of his stepfather who was still angry. "Daddy also thinks Leli is not a father's son." Leli put on a sad face.
Seeing his wife sad and Leli his stepson, Ardella's father calms them down. "Have you not cried again, one day Ardella will surely see your sincerity and kindness and acknowledge you as her mother." He told Sherlin. "You're a father's son now, so don't think no." Said Ardella's father looking at Leli and stroking Leli's head gently.
After the debate Pak Parsagian also cleaned up his belongings and went to the house.
While Sherlin and Leli chuckled to see Ardella being yelled at by her father, the more Ardella did not recognize her as her Mother, the quarrel between Ardella and her Father deepened, the distance between her Father and Ardella further and further, Ardella said, as for stepmother Ardella increasingly looks good in the eyes of Pak Parsaglion, while Ardella looks like a dissident child.
Recalling his childhood memories with his mother. "If I were here, I would listen to Ardella." Ardella muttered remembering her mother and made Ardella cry and then fall asleep.
Nightfall.
Ardella's father, who happens to be on night watch in the village, had to sleep in the post.
Brak,, door dings.
"What are you doing in my room." Ardella.
"How dare you humiliate me, it seems like you should be taught a lesson to understand." Said his stepmother.
Her stepmother grabs Ardella's hair followed by Leli tying Ardella's hands.
"Sick, let me go." Shouting Ardella.
"Sit's a fucking kid." Sherlin covered Ardella's mouth with a cloth.
The rebellious Ardella could no longer speak.
"Mom's gonna be in anything after this." Ask Leli.
"Slow backroom."
"Okay Ma'am."
With passion they dragged Ardella to the barn. Arriving at the warehouse Ardella's body was thrown inside and locked Ardella outside.
"Haha. rasain." Leli.
"Let him sleep with the rats in the barn." Sherlin was happy.
Ardella who was in the warehouse feeling trembling, the darkness of the warehouse made Ardella more afraid, the sound of rats in the warehouse was also heard by Ardella. His mouth and hands were still tied making Ardella could not make a sound for help.
Tired of slamming the door, Ardella gave up and sat down near the door. While crying Ardella still trying to untie the rope in his hand.
"Hiks. it's always been like this, when are you aware of their behavior." Thought Ardella spoke inwardly.
Coldness enveloped Ardella's body, sangkin resisted the coldness of Ardella fell asleep in a sitting position leaning against the door.
Inside the house Sherlin and Leli seemed happy to include Ardella in the warehouse.
"Once the sentence has to be even more severe, ma'am." Advise his mother. " Why the gk whipped aja ma'am, if only locked in the warehouse at most tomorrow he came out too." Leli said back.
"Mom can't handle Ardella, you'll get caught by your father." Sherlin.
"Oh. Yes, ma'am, if you just locked up in the storehouse you'll never know." Leli.
Hitting Ardella will leave a mark on Ardella's body, so Sherlin always chooses to torture Ardella by locking her up in a barn and not feeding her all day.
