I'm the Unacknowledged

Go home

Miki continued walking towards the classroom. Not wanting to serve the insults of the ignorant children, Miki was forced not to complete the punishment from his teacher. Arriving in class, the lesson schedule has changed with sports subjects. Not intending to take classes, Miki finally asked permission to go home.

"You sick?" ask the picket teacher when Miki asks for permission to go home.

Miki just nodded her head.

"If you are sick, you should not force yourself to go to school. Just rest at home. After all, the school will not demand sick children to go to school," picket teacher cerocos while writing a home permit for Miki.

Quiescent. Miki was silent again. A few minutes later, Miki's return permit was completed.

"This is a home permit for today. Ask your parents to take you to the doctor, so that your pain does not get worse," said the picket teacher.

"Thank you, ma'am," Miki replied, taking the letter.

After all the procedures were done, Miki stepped outside the school gate.

Surya Aki returned to the room. Her chest ached when she accidentally heard the behavior of her only grandchild. Aki Surya did not really understand anything about the life of the grandson. However, hearing the sorrowful tone from his son-in-law's words, Aki Surya could draw a conclusion if his granddaughter had made a fatal mistake.

Astaghfirullah Adi .. Why are you like that, son? Had your mother been alive, she would have been disappointed to see your behavior, inner Aki Surya, holding her chest that was getting sicker.

Aki Surya grabbed a picture of his late daughter on the nightstand. Looked at him full of longing. Until unknowingly, the tears began to fall down his two wrinkled cheeks.

In the dining room.

"Already, Jay. Don't think too much either. What happened, let it happen. Live this life like flowing water. Follow the current, but do not get carried away by the current. Your son is already big. Let him choose his own life, son. Don't be too restrained, because he's not a kid anymore. One thing you should remember, son. That life experience is the best teacher." Enin Ifah gave his advice to the son-in-law.

"Yes, Mom. I'm right" said Mr. Jaya.

"Yes, let's eat. Later it will be cold," Enin Ifah invited while patting the shoulders of his mant.

"Mommy hasn't eaten, Mom?" ask Mr. Jaya.

"So I've prepared chicken porridge in his room" replied Enin Ifah. "You eat first, let me call Munir" he continued.

"Yes, ma'am." replied Mr. Jaya.

Enin Ifah left Tuan Jaya in the dining room. He walked outside to call Munir who was washing the car in the backyard.

"Stop it off, Nir. You accompany Jaya to breakfast, gih!" enin Ifah's orders to his son-in-law's driver.

"Eh, yes Ma'am. This is a little more, really," said Mr. Munir.

Nin Ifah smiled. "Yes already, when you're done, quickly accompany your master to breakfast. I want to go to the stall first" continued Enin Ifah.

The Amijaya residence.

Madam Rosm snorted in annoyance. For two days, her husband went to see his ex-laws. However, until this moment there is not the slightest news from Mr. Jaya.

"Mom, wonder. Why the hell, your papa is very comfortable living in the house of his former in-laws. Though only ex, but your papa's attitude to them, does not describe the word ex at all," complained Mrs Rosmah in front of Nadhifa.

"Ish, patient dong Ma. Anyway, papa went there, 'couldn't visit Surya's grandfather who is sick again," Nadhifa said.

"But not all this time, Fa," replied Mrs Rosmah.

"Old of where the hell, Ma? It's only been two days, too" replied Nadhifa.

"Ish, tell me you never touched Mama's heart" grumbled Miss Rosmah. "Udah ah, Mama wants to go to the room first," he added as he moved from his seat.

Nadhifa only shook her head at the attitude of her mother.

After almost a week at the house of in-laws, today Mr. Jaya decided to return to Jakarta. Two days ago, his phone kept ringing because of his wife. Almost every hour, Mrs Rosmah called just to ask for her return.

"Really?" mrs Rosmah asked with emphasis.

"Yes, really," replied Mr. Jaya.

"Surely, Papa likes to lie constantly with Mama," said Mrs Rosmah.

"Papa didn't lie, Ma. Yesterday Papa was planning to go home. However, his illness recurred. Papa is unlikely to leave him in such a state of pain, Ma," said Mr Jaya, trying to give an explanation to his wife.

"Huh, why the hell is Papa still taking care of them? Papa has no obligation to take care of them anymore. Your bond no longer exists. The only one who still has a bond with them, is simply Argha. It should be, Argha dong, who took care of them," said Mrs Rosmah on the other end of the phone.

"Hallo, Ma! Mama! Hello-hallo! Sorry, Ma. Looks like the network here is ugly. Papa hang up the phone first. Assalamu'alaikum!"

Without waiting for a reply from his wife, Mr. Jaya hung up his phone unilaterally. He reluctantly had to hear bad words from his wife's lips.

Oh my God .. I don't know what I was thinking until I married the woman, the inner Mr. Jaya who began to complain about the attitude of the wife.

Tuan Jaya set foot into her in-laws room. When he was about to knock on the door of his in-laws room, suddenly the door opened and Enin Ifah came out.

"Well, Jaya boy? Why stand outside? Come inside!" reprimand Enin Ifah who saw his daughter-in-law fixated in front of the room.

"Actually, Jaya just wanted to knock on the room door, Mom. But the door was open" replied Mr. Jaya.

Enin ifah smiled. "Yes, let's go in. Please accompany me first, I'm going to the kitchen."

"Yes, Mom. This Jaya also wants to say goodbye to Mr" replied Mr. Jaya.

"Pamples?" Enin Ifah repeated Tuan Jaya's words while linking her eyebrows together. "Where are you going, Jay?" ask Enin Ifah.

"Today Jaya wants to go home, Mom. There's a lot of work Jaya has to complete" replied Tuan Jaya.

"Oh, so yeah. Hmm, I understand your busyness, son. Yes, come in, son. I'll go to the kitchen first" Enin Ifah repeated

Tuan Jaya stepped foot into her in-laws room. He approached Aki Surya who was standing in front of the window, breathing fresh air in the morning.

"Assalamu'alaikum, sir," said Mr. Jaya.

Surya Aki turned her head, frowning slightly when she saw that her daughter-in-law had been dressed neatly.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Aki Surya, "kok is neat, Jay. Are you going to the tomb of the Goddess again today?" continued Aki Surya.

"The plan is so, sir. Jaya wants to stop by the tomb of Dewi before returning home, " replied Tuan Jaya.

Aki Surya sighed when he heard the word go home. His house must have felt lonely again after his daughter-in-law came home.

_So, you want to go home today, son?" lirih Aki Surya.

"Yes, Sir. Jaya's work has piled up. Adi and Bram can not rely on Jaya, because they also have their respective jobs. Pity also if besan Jaya must handle all office affairs alone," said Tuan Jaya, giving a reasonable reason. Mr. Jaya would not offend his father-in-law.

"Sir, Son. Speaking of Adi .. tell her to take her time. I really miss that kid. Ask him to visit us, son. No one knows the age. You are afraid if you go without seeing your only grandson first," said Aki Surya with a sad face.

"Ish, Sir. It's not good to talk like that. Jaya is sure, you will be cured soon. Adi's business, later Jaya ordered Adi to visit Mr. Or ... what if the same father comes to Jaya? We live together in Jakarta. Adi must be very happy," bargained Tuan Jaya.

Aki Surya only smiled faintly at the offer of his son-in-law. After all, staying home with her son-in-law was not a good idea, given the habits of the wife of her daughter-in-law.

"Thank you for your offer, son. But your soul is never fit to wander. It's hard to leave the village, son. Moreover, the big family of the Father is here everything," subtly rejected Aki Surya who hides the real reason.

Surya Aki reluctantly lives one roof with Rosmah. There are many things from the nature of Rosmah that are inversely proportional to the deceased child. What's more, the pain when Rosmah said to his wife, has not disappeared from the heart of Aki Surya.

"Jaya understands, sir. Insha Allah, Jaya will often take the time to visit the Father and mother" said Tuan Jaya.

Aki Surya just smiled in response to Mr. Jaya's words.

"Thank you, son."
