POV The Actor
‘’OK, I will never forget, Mi. With what my mother did to me. From this moment on you are no longer my parents!’’
I wiped the tears violently, staring at the house I once occupied. There are so many sweet memories here. I used to play with papi and mami with laughter. Running here and there, everyone remembered me.
But now I am no longer considered to be his son. Is that how my mom is? He'd rather be a fucking citizen than his real son? Then what about papi, are eleven twelve equal to this woman?
‘’We'll see later. Until when can Mami be like me.’’
I took the suitcase and held it. Slowly I stepped up, it turned out that the citizens were still watching me. They make me a fun spectacle again for free. Fuck up! If the poor man has no job. Yeah, this is how it works. To go with other people's business. Pleased above the suffering of people. I looked towards them and stared hard.
‘’Rasain. So don't be arrogant. Money alone still raises hands to parents.’’
‘’Later so new bums know taste.’’
My ears are hot hearing all sorts of words that can stab my heart.
‘’Awas aja yau!’’ threaten me while pointing towards the citizens with my left index finger.
Not wanting to waste any more time with them, I immediately stepped in with shaky steps. This time my lower stomach hurt.
‘’Honey, you should be able to survive in your stomach yes. You must be strong.’’
I stroked the stomach. I don't know which way to put my foot in. But obviously, I need to get away from here.
Vehicles greet each other. People also passed by on foot on the highway, making his eyes stare strangely at me. I reply with a cynical look. Breathing feels dull. I don't know why I feel tired so easily. Or because of this baby branch in my stomach? I guess sweat is pouring.
‘’Kalo like this, my beauty will soon be lost made. Where is hot again!’’
I flicked my hands, feeling this body heat. Because I was not strong, I decided to rest first on the side of the road where there was a stool there. I'm shaking ass.
I suddenly remembered something.
‘’Did I call Fani just once?’’ I rushed through his pockets and pressed his contact number.
Rang..
‘’Ha—hallo, Fan. Can you help me?’’ I said with a cry that started to break.
‘’Why are you, Chik? What would you like to ask for?’’
‘’I want to stay temporarily in your home. Can't i? You see I was cast out with Mami.’’
‘’Ya Allah! How can you be expelled? What's up, Chik?’’
‘’The story is long. Now I'm on the road, on foot. Can I hitchhike in your house for a while?’’
‘’Bby bang, Chika. You've helped me too. Send me your address yes. I'll pick you up by taxi, okay?’’
Makes me smile cynically,’’Thank you, Fan. Yes I will send you.’’
I hurried to turn off the phone, then share the location I am currently occupying. Not long after, it appears that the message I sent has ticked two blue colors. The sign of my message has been read by the woman.
‘’I am on the road now yes. You don't go anywhere, Chik.’’
‘’OK, I'm not going anywhere. Don't be long, Fan. I'm so tired of this.’’
A few minutes later, I was swaying in a daydream. That woman's call made me wake up from the daydream. Then look towards him.
‘’Ya Allah, Chik. You why mess like gini?’’
He looked surprised looking at my hair that might be disheveled, let alone the sweat that was pouring out in the face. Of course make-up so faded. The insolent! It's because of the fucking people. Watch it!
‘’A—aku..’’ My tears just spilled.
‘’Ma’af, Chik. If you can't tell me now, that's okay. We just go straight home to my house. You definitely need a break right?’’ He grabbed me for a moment and let go of his embrace again. Just a nod in response.

Not long ago, the taxi arrived in front of the house colored green paint. Me and Fani are coming down. I looked at the house far from my taste. Not as luxurious as the house I occupied. Makes me sigh.
‘’Ah, Chika. The important thing is that you have a place to stay for a while.’’
I reminded myself. Oh yes, I forgot. The fees have not been paid. The Fani even silent a thousand languages, I'm sure he's no money. It's okay, these counts are my way of making Fani believe that I'm a good woman. Rushing kurogoh the bag I was holding. Fortunately, there was money left over yesterday.
‘’Nih, fare.’’ I thrust at the taxi driver who was pensive from earlier.
‘’Still, Mba.’’ Fani represents with a small nod that she gives.
‘’Yuk, Chika.’’ I nodded and hurried to follow Fani's steps. My eyes wiggled at the surrounding housing.
‘’Why, Chik?’’ He stopped his steps and looked at me.
‘’Hem, no, Fan.’’ I shook my head quickly and resumed my steps.

‘’This is your room yes,’’ he said as he pointed at the room door.
I nodded weakly. It's been reflected in my mind, how the contents of the room. I'm sure it's not as luxurious and not as beautiful as my room. Ah, why is my misery.
‘’It's all because of that damn citizen! I'll reply to everything!’’ I growled in my heart.
‘’Chik? You're okay, right?’’ The woman's words were able to resuscitate my daydream.
‘’Ah Yes. I'm fine.’’ I put my face as sweet as possible.
‘’Ya, rest. I'm sure you must be tired. About my parents, let me talk later. You do not hesitate,’’ he said as he patted my arm slowly, then his legs stepped. However, it stopped immediately.
‘’Quiet aja. You no longer need to clean the room. Because the room I cleaned yesterday,’’ said the woman with the shoulder. I just nodded and smiled thinly.
‘’Tuh right. Bener what I said.’’
My eyes were greeted by a scene that made me complain. How not, the room is inversely proportional to my room at home. I closed the door again and put down the suitcase and branded bag that I had been staring at. But, at least it can be a temporary resting place by me. Than I was a bum out there.
‘’Ihh! Amit-amit deh,’’ my shivering murmured in horror at something that made me ilfeel.
I put my ass in the bed. Then I rubbed the foaming thing. It's not like my bed. I took a long breath. Suddenly the lower abdomen was back in pain. I rubbed it slowly.
‘’Ah Yes. Mama just remembered your Papa. The patient yes. Mama will find a way so that we can stay with Papa you,’’ I said softly while rubbing the stomach.
I don't know why I haven't even thought about Deno. Maybe it was so sad about what happened. I'm more concerned with myself. I never thought about how and where my husband was. It's a good thing he's still in the hospital, so I don't bother looking for a place to stay for him.
Moreover, the facilities of the mother have been taken back. Ah, I just can't afford me to take care of it. Especially taking care of Deno.
But now I want to rest. Fortunately, this room was clean and tidy. Yes, even though the shape makes my mood so messy. At least I can stretch the body first. I tried to smell his bedsheet. Mana knows there's a pungent smell tucked in there.
‘’hem! Pretty damn.’’ I hurried to lay down because I felt safe to sleep.

I squirmed and yawned many times. I opened my eyes forcibly. Suddenly my stomach rang and it was painful. Ever since I was pregnant, the inn wants to eat every time.
‘’Usually I messen through gofood. Did I miss a single time?’’ I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
I put my wallet in my beloved bag. Makes me take a long breath. There are only six hundred bills. Enough for my daily needs. I put the wallet back in the bag. Ah yes, I just ask the same Fani times huh? I opened the door of the room.
‘’Ta—Tante?’’ Makes me gasp at the woman standing in front of the room I'm occupying right now.
‘’Bikin shocked by parents.’’
I changed my face, which was shocked. Now smiling sweetly looked at the large-coupled woman. I immediately regretted it.
‘’A—aku Chika, temen—‘’
‘’Tante already know kok,’’ cut it that makes me round my eyes.
There was another aura in this woman. He also acted as queen pretender in my opinion. Ah, my parents' wealth is ten times yours, aunt.
‘’Tante is happy you are staying here. But, you don't mind helping Auntie here?’’ Makes my eyes round.
‘’Bright bad people. He wants to make me his maid? Ogah!’’
‘’A—what?’’ I could no longer bear my patience until I snapped at the woman.
The chika! Relax, let's just say it's some kind of exercise for you. You don't want to live on the streets? I shook my head immediately.
‘’Ma’af, Aunt. I mean—‘’
‘’Ma? The right mom. Yesterday told Chika to help with homework. How is this Mama?’’ The woman with the hair came up to us. His face looks upset.
‘’Emang Mama is wrong? Consider it a form of exercise for Chika. Get used to it later when you are married. Chika did not mind anyway,’’ he said lightly while folding his hands on the chest and then turning to look at me.
The huft! Want me to poke the mouth of this big-coupled woman. Deno I never helped me with my homework. Even he himself took off the house to clean the toilet.
‘’Mama you're right, Fan. A—I don't mind. Let me help you clean up your house.’’ Holy hooch! This mouth cannot be compromised. Why are these words coming out of my mouth?
‘’Tuh right. The big-tipped lady smiled.’’
‘’You sure, Chik?’’ I nodded quickly.
‘’As my thanks form. Because you guys already let me stay here.’’ I looked at the shoulder-haired woman and then turned to look at her mother.
‘’Fan, you rest yes, son. Must be tired because last night did not sleep,’’ said the woman to her son.
‘’Hem, yes, Ma.’’ Fani turned to look at me.
‘’Chik. If you want to eat, take it alone. Consider this your home. Don't hesitate,’’ said Fani with a smile.
‘’I want to rest first. So tired of me, Chik.’’
Not yet finished I said, the shoulder-haired lady hurried to leave me. My stomach sings softly. Duh! I rubbed my stomach. I hope the aunt doesn't hear my stomach singing.
‘’You must be a laper, right? Hayo ngaku.’’
Making me gasp, I was forced to nod weakly. How know this woman is heartened to give me good food.
‘’Come join Aunt,’’ her word that makes me smile, then follow her steps.
‘’Lah, this is not to the dining room. What do you want a big woman?’’
Holy hooch! I was taken to the sink. Did he tell me to wash his dirty dishes? He made me his assistant? Makes me shudder in horror.
‘’You wash all dishes first. After that, you can eat as much.’’ He lightly spoke like that while pointing at the piled up dirty dishes.
‘’Crazy really big bun woman. My smooth hand is damaged by touching that dirty plate.’’
Can't he give up a little of his good food for my stomach, let alone me being two-bodied. My stomach sang back.
‘’Tuh right. You must be a really laper. Wash the dishes, Chika.’’
‘’In this world anything should be put to work. So you want to eat yes you have to try also dong. Trying to help Aunt wash dishes for example,’’ he said that made my eardrum hurt.
I lazily approached the sink. I stared at the disgusting dirty dishes. Makes my stomach feel stirred. I closed my mouth with my palm.
‘’Remember, in this world there is nothing free,’’ whispered in my ear that made me aghast.
Seriate.
