I Can Without You

2. Bullying

This afternoon after returning from the office Shofi was a little surprised. Because Shofi did not find Keinan waiting for himself on the porch of the house as usual.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Shofi said as he entered the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh, brother has come home," Hamzah replied as well as greeting after he lifted his face from his laptop screen and saw his brother enter the house.

"Udah Deck. Oh yeah, which one? Tumben not waiting in front?" ask Shofi.

"In the room, brother. Don't know why. From after the salary was directly in the room and did not come out again" replied Hamzah.

"Oh, okay. If that's the big brother enter first yes, Dek," said Shofi.

"Yes, sister," replied Hamzah who then returned to his laptop screen again.

Shofi then continued his steps. Greeting the mother who as usual was in the kitchen then walked towards her room.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Shofi, opening the door to his room.

Shofi could see Keinan who was sitting on his back by putting his head on his study table.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Keinan replied after raising his head and turning towards the door of the room.

Keinan then got down from his chair and ran over to Shofi.

"Mother," called Keinan as he entered Shofi's crouched arms, stretching out his arms.

"Unfortunately Mother why? How moody is gini?" shofi asked with a gentle swab of Keinan's head.

Keinan shook his head a few times. Rising from the Mother's embrace, Keinan then showed her sweet smile.

"Mother take a bath first yes, let seger," said Keinan with a smile, reassuring the Mother.

Shofi scrunched his forehead. But he tries to understand his son who is still reluctant to tell him.

"Yes, if so Mother took a bath first, yes," said Shofi.

Keinan nodded his head a few times, still with his sweet smile. Shofi kissed the top of his son's head. Put the bag on the table and then take the towel from the closet. After that, Shofi rushed into the bathroom in his room.

Currently Shofi was sitting on the bed while rubbing the head of Keinan who was lying on his lap.

"Mother, tomorrow Kei won't leave again" Keinan said suddenly.

"Well, why baby? Why don't you go back out again?" ask Shofi wonder.

Keinan. It seems hard to tell something.

"Keinan does not want to be ridiculed the same anymore, Bun," said Keinan in the end.

Deg.

Shofi's heart melted at once upon hearing his son's words. Again, for the same problem. Yes, Keinan is often used as a mockery by his other playmates because he does not have a father.

"They always mengeledekin Keinan because Keinan does not have a father while they have," continued Keinan sounding nasal.

It must be that the two little boy's eyes are already glazed over now. The same thing that is also experienced by Shofi at this time.

"Why do you have to go, Bun? Keinan will also want to have a father like other Keinan friends," said Keinan again.

Shofi wiped away a drop of tears that flowed without permission on his cheek. Breathe deeply to strengthen his own heart. Shofi then grabbed his son's face to face him. Shofi's soft smile showed it to his beloved son.

"Dear, although Keinan does not have a father, Keinan has a Mother, has a grandmother, has Om Hamzah. And we all loved Keinan very much" Shofi said.

"Dad left because I had to go, baby. Dad has his own happiness, even if it's not with us. But even without a father, has not Keinan and Mommy been able to live happily together with grandmother and also Om Hamzah? So Keinan should be grateful for it all, yes baby, yes" Shofi continued.

The tears are flowing. Shofi wiped away the tears on his son's cheeks and raised Keinan's small body and embraced her affectionately.

"God Subhanahu wata'ala must have a beautiful plan for Keinan and also Mother. We just have to be patient in living out all the plans of this God Subhanahu wata'ala, dear. Continue to pray and ask Allah Subhanahu wata'ala, so that Keinan is given a spacious heart, dear, yes."

"If Keinan prayed with God and asked to be given a new father, can't you, Bun?" keinan plain asked as he lifted his head from the deck of his mother.

Shofi laughed at his son's question.

"Will Keinan have a new father?"

"You, Bun. If his new father loves Keinan and Mommy, Keinan will," Keinan replied excitedly.

Shofi's laughter is getting louder. He broke his son's hair.

"Based on you, there's nothing."

Keinan pursed his lips making Shofi even more anxious.

"Mother's serious win," lamented Keinan.

"Dear, yes" said Shofi in his laughter. "But Keinan must always remember the message of Mother, should not reply mocking Keinan's friends, okay? Keinan just had to be careless and not have to pay attention to all their words," Shofi's message suddenly became serious fashion.

"Yes Mother, Keinan knows. If Keinan retaliates, it means Keinan is just like them."

"Well, pinter her son Mother," praised Shofi as he hugged Keinan again.
