Eps. 4. Priorities



Brill stared sadly and angrily at the people who were reloading his musical equipment into a pick up car. It just finished being set in the big room on the left wing of this house. Mami's arrival followed by papi in this house immediately ordered some people to return all the musical instruments to the Hall, where Brill took them last afternoon.


Who can go against the orders of his mother and father? Two important officials in this area, mami the regional head and papi the chairman of the provincial council.


Brill broke through the inner room door, not caring for a sespri who was guarding there.


"Mom..it's all mine..."


"You put your mother to shame.Where is your mind, if you do not act immediately tomorrow can news of your behavior appear! It could be viral that the South Minahasa regent's children do not appreciate parents, there could be other news about the regent's mother who is unable to educate her child... Take care of your attitude Brill..there do not disturb mami, your behavior makes mami difficult..."


The voice of the mami was sharp with the look of an angry eye, but it was still in the elegance of a respectable woman.


"But mammy didn't ask me where it could be..."


"That's all mom's money!"


Mami's hand was raised in the air, for Brill it was the most painful action, he felt expelled from the room. Brill can only throw a hateful spotlight at the mother who does not confirm anything to her or give her the opportunity to express her wishes.


Brill walked out of the room with a flushed face. Brill snatches the car keys from Markus' hands and by running he gets into the big black car he uses every day, running that expensive vehicle and directly darting out of the large courtyard of this house, it ran over some flower plants in the courtyard and paid no heed to the cries of the people behind it. Om Markus did not catch up.


"Oma.. nak Brill left, apparently angry..he speeded oma, I was afraid of anything, he had not been smoothly bring the car..."


Om Markus went into the house and was only able to report to Susan.


"Fast follow Markus. use a motorbike or car oma..."


Markus hastily left the Susan. Her heart was beating fast, she was worried about her foster child. Since childhood he has been controlling everywhere, so a kind of personal assistant of the child for about ten years. In fact, Brill can be said to be closer to him than to his own parents.


The panicked oma mixed furiously rushed towards the inner room, a space that her youngest child would often use if coming here.


In the room, the regent's mother was reading an important file assisted by her husband, while a sespri and a policewoman who became the guardian of the regent's mother were standing guard at the door. The same thing in another corner, his daughter-in-law is on the phone of course for his political affairs, there is a guy who is busy with his laptop.


Susan stood there angry...


"Inggrid!"


An irritated and sharp voice of Susan, equipped with a reddened face, stopped the activities of the regent mother and the sespri, the chairman of the council unperturbed. With the movement of the regent's mother's hand to ask her husband to leave the room, the councilman also left the room.


"Here you choose to work rather than pay attention to your own children..."


"Ma. my business is many and important, because the boy I postponed some important meetings..."


Inggrid's mother just looked at her mother and continued reading the important file in her hand. Her legs she lifted up gracefully sat beautifully on the white-skinned sofa.


"Is Brill no longer important to you? The inggrid? James?"


Susan's voice was sharp and made Mr. James Ratulangi finally close the call. He's approaching Susan's.


"Mama pampered Brill too much, see the result now he became a dissident, his actions this time can not be allowed..."


"Oh? So you're blaming mama now? Calling a teenage boy who keeps his own as a dissident? That so?"


"That's not what James Ma meant..."


The man with his fists was nearing perfect, looking very handsome at his age, grabbing the hand of his mother-in-law. An enraged Oma Susan brushed off her daughter-in-law's hand. Mother Inggrid finally put down the work in her hands, feeling her mother's anger in her voice and expression.


"But every time he makes a mistake, he comes to you, because he knows you must defend him, and it makes him act more..."


"Him? That's your own son James. Why is it like talking about someone else? Brill your flesh and blood, should your life priority be your child...Your child is only one...Brill only? One of you is not good at taking care of it. You think of the life of the people of one province, one district. but in your home there is only one child... and you do not care about him!"


Oma Susan was still fiery issuing her anger at her two children.


"Ma.. Our priority remains Brill. but our responsibility is both great ma, but I want to be as busy as I am, James too. We can still communicate and see him..."


Ms. Inggrid now interrupts.


"Yes yes. your typical language style formalities are too stale, in public you can be rhetorical but that does not apply to mama. If your communication is good with Brill, you know his feelings, his wants, his needs... Where did you hear Brill's complaint? What's in your brain is that Brill has to obey all your rules? Briil is just one of your positive images in public..."


"Ma. that is not true, when there are parents who do not care about their children. I ask not to spoil him, do not follow his will, do not defend his mistake and if he comes here please ask him to come home again... and I beg you please don't intervene the way we educate Brill..."


"James?? Oh... You were the only one who said something like that to my mom... Listen.. mama has three children.do mama need to say one-on-one..maybe you forget because your business is many and important.one son mama Rector of State University entered two periods, you can, one more treasurer of the largest political party in the country, and don't forget, this honorable lady regent in this area whom you married was the result of my upbringing!!"


"Ma.. Never mind..."


Inggrid's mother stood up and embraced Susan.


"I mean James well. let us educate our son..."


"No. You heard what I said to Inggrid... Brill will stay here.You can't give Brill what he needs: understanding and parental affection! You always hurt him. Brill will stay with me here!"


Susan closed the debate, leaving two important people in the room with authority that could not be resisted.


Oma Susan just reached the door, a sespri mother regent entered...


"Mom... Brill crash..he hit the dike on the Boulevard..."


"Oh my God.. How's Brill?"


Oma Susan immediately limp and immediately detained sespri bu regent.


"Still on site, I've called the hospital..."


"Please get the oma there..."


Two sespri bu regents pushed Susan's oma out of the room.


"If anything happens to my grandchildren, it's your fault..."


Oma Susan left her two children crying.


.


The greatest happiness, the deepest contentment, the greatest passion, and the deepest inner calm all come from loving families. Brill was poor at all of those things.


Her parents became great people in the hearts of the people of this district, her mother was so appreciated and recognized great leading this area, her papi so prominent in the world of politics, so, but they are not great parents in the hearts of their children.
