The Myriad of Angga

Nisa hasn't been home for a week. Regarding the affairs of the office he had already assigned some staff to replace him as long as he was not in place. So that it can still be overcome.

Meanwhile, the state of the house without his presence really feels gloomy. Though Nisa has often left them for work. However, it was still different from the disappearance this time

"Yes, obviously, Pa. If he left because of work, Nisa has asked permission, knowing where and when he came home. Lha, this? Everything's dark!" lontar Santika grimly. A look of tired and sad face is clearly drawn in his old face.

Although Angga had prevented it, Santika remained reckless to take care of El and Nina when the clock came home from school. He always accompanied them until twenty p.m., after which Cakra would take him home to rest.

As the oma of El and Nina, Santika's heart was shocked when she saw Nina screaming asking for her mother's departure on the first day Nisa disappeared. Although now no longer crying, but the brilliance of Nina like has disappeared. No more laughter and spoiled babbling came out of her tiny lips. The little girl became more shy.

No less Santika and Angga did various ways to seize his heart, both through food and toys, but the smile was too expensive to be redeemed by an inanimate object. Nina needs Nisa's presence, not an oma and an expensive toy.

Not much different from Nina, El also increasingly rarely spoke, especially to Nisa's parents. If he can still stay away, he will stay away from him, but if he can not avoid his oma again El will do the movement of silence. Likewise with what Santika treats them, as much as possible El will brush it off.

"Sister, how come you don't want to eat soto madura Oma? Though delicious," said Nina while giving a thumbs up.

Last afternoon El only ate instant noodles and eggs.

"Biarin, I prefer to eat noodles," she said without taking her eyes off the screen. Busy doing schoolwork or something.

"Lies, usually Brother doyan soto. Is it because Oma's cooking?"

"Brew!"

"Oh, sister, why the hell, don't you like Oma? He's good, likes our masakin, Nina nemenin naps. Anyway Oma is better than Big Brother."

"Based on the baby, sleep is still under control. You know why I don't want to be near Oma?" El deliberately paused his question, he wanted to see Nina's reaction. And Nina shook her head.

"Because she's mom's parents."

The disappearance of Nisa makes El feel even further away from her. He considers the sadness of Angga and Nina pure fault of the mother.

If only mom didn't need to work, didn't need to go abroad, more accompany Nina and papa none of this would have happened.

Why is it that only his family is such a mess? While the Hengki family remained harmonious even though his mother also worked. Hengki classmate El is still often picked up by his mother. Every time there is a school drama club, Hengki's mother and father are always present both provide support to the child who is part of the role in the performance.

Why can't their families, and this family can't? Where is the error? If you see papa who is always patient every time you face problems, it seems that is not the cause. But not with mom. Mama is always in a hurry to respond to something and likes to be angry when something is not as she wants. If it's like this, papa will come forward to defend us, if the trigger anger mama is her children. But instead of the atmosphere being calm, papa and mama even fought over. Makes the atmosphere hotter.

While Angga began to feel overwhelmed taking care of his own family. His mind branched, unable to focus on one thing. Especially lately, her in-laws have started to rarely visit. Actually Angga was very helped by the presence of Santika, at least the in-laws could accompany Nina chat and maintain the nutrition of the girl. However, because he was no longer young, Angga felt sorry if his body was exhausted plus the attitude of El who was less friendly with Santika.

"Not prohibit, Pa. I only watched my mom, afraid she would fall ill from exhaustion. What should I say to Nisa, if mama is sick for taking care of our son. Come if indeed mom wants to come, either because of longing or just there is time. Don't come because you feel obligated, you have to take care of Nina and El" Angga said gently with caution to Cakra.

Fortunately the father-in-law understood the good intentions of his son-in-law. Therefore, Santika's visit began to decrease, only occasionally coming to visit his two grandchildren.

However, Angga accompanied his two children, but the disappearance of Nisa from them still incised an inner wound on El and Nina. Especially for Nina, every day she often asked for mama, so often carried away in dreams. On the fifteenth day of her disappearance, Nina fell ill. The fever is high and should be treated in a hospital.

When the lab results came out, the doctor said Nina had typhus. How devastated Angga saw the condition of Nina, not infrequently her tears shed while waiting for Nina alone. However, all of that remained in his own hands, to whom else would he have to share?

At a time like this Angga began to realize the importance of the presence of Nisa. If only Nisa existed, maybe she wouldn't be this busy. In the morning Angga had to leave Nina, leave her to the hospital nurse because she had to rush to take El to school. Both Nina and El seemed to be doing a silent rebellion if not Angga who went down directly to take care of them. There are-there are both.

After seeing El enter the school gate, then Angga went home again to bathe and change clothes, then returned to the hospital to accompany Nina.

All of that has to be done alone, if you don't want to get a call from El's school. The school recently sent the letter to Angga, let alone the problem if not for El skipping school for three consecutive days without notice. Every morning the boy would leave for school with a driver, but no one knew El had never crossed the fence. As soon as he got out of the car and the driver left the place, El turned the other way.

"Where have you been during school, hha?!" ask Angga riled. Just this time he showed his emotions in front of El, making the boy shocked.

"To the Internet, Pa." El's voice squeaked in fear.

"What Warnet? Not satisfied all day online at home to have to sacrifice school time!"

"El bored school, Pa."

"Bored you say? What do you want if you don't go to school?"

There ain't! School is boring. Different from playing games and chatting with friends from cyberspace, all exciting. Nobody cares about anyone else's business, unless they want to. There are no rules to this, it must be. Likes, if you do not accept with the type of thumb, please block! No one forbids, let alone anger.

I wanted El to say that, but her guts shrunk. Let alone reciting all that, lifting his face, felt so heavy.

"Well, if you don't answer. From tomorrow, I'll take you to school, just like I used to. If you don't want to change, don't blame me for unplugging from your home's internet service!"

"But, Pa, it__"

"There's no buts! If your grade is destroyed, the computer in the room will also be confiscated!"

El clenched his hands tightly, wanting to protest but not daring. Papa's face has changed color many times, indicating his emotions have reached the crown. For that El immediately stomped his body and turned around, hurriedly leaving the living room.

Angga doesn't care, the boy deserves the law. But after that, he sat limp on the sofa, there was a sense of regret after scolding him. Didn't the boy love him so much?
