Part 27 (Lika Liku Luka Hati) (seasion 2)
The next morning saw Lusi who was busy giving fertilizer to plants in his yard. And in that activity he daydreamed while thinking about the events of yesterday. The man he saw was Rian.
Then suddenly Dad came out and sat in front reading the newspaper while drinking his coffee. I didn't really notice that there was Lucia there. Then Lusi approached his father.
"Dad.. There is something I want to ask" said Lusi.
But Dad was silent and focused only on his coffee and the newspaper he read.
"Surely Dad reported the incident to the police station or not. Because yesterday I met Rian on the street" said Lusi.
"Son... I didn't report it to the police station" Dad said.
Lusi's tears fell and was shocked by his father's confession.
"But why yeah" said Luci
Then his father looked towards Susi with a sharp look. Then get up from his chair. And looked at Lusi again with an unusual look.
"You never realized! you are just a bitch in this family. You've ruined your own family's good name. And that's all because you can't keep the honor of yourself Lusi!", said Dad loudly.
Susi was shocked by her father's confession. His heart was broken to pieces. She was crying too. Now he knew that his father was silent for that reason.
"Sorry Dad. I'm sorry" said Lusi in tears.
Then I left Susi. Lusi was just crying. Lusi hated himself at that moment.
Mom was shocked to see her daughter crying.
"You why Lusi?" mother said
"Lusi hates herself Lusi ma'am.. Lusi hates" said Lusi while crying.
Then she took Lusi to her room.
"Try telling. You why?" ask Mother.
But Lucia just kept silent not answering.
His noon...
he tried to calm his heart not to be sad. Many times he remembered the words of his father. Many times he cried. He tried to forget what his father said. But everything feels difficult. He did not want to leave his room at that time. He just sat there looking up at the ceiling in the room.
Suddenly the phone rang. Phone from an unknown number. Then Lusi answered the phone.
"Asalamallaikum" said a woman's voice from the phone call.
"Walaikumsallam" replied Lusi.
"What's right with Lusi" he asked
"Yes right"
"I'm Elfa, Juna's sister. I'd like to meet you maybe tonight at 07:00, would you?"
Susie was shocked.
"It seems like tonight I can't. In the afternoon I can. Around 04.00 pm if you want" said Lusi
"Yaudah at 04:00 in the afternoon. But you don't tell Juna that we want to meet. There are important things I want to say "he said.
"i.. Yes" said Lusi.
Lusi was also very curious in his heart. I don't know if her sister Juna called her. He was also invited to meet with an appointment at a restaurant in Bandung.
Then at 04:00 pm, Lusi arrived at the promised place. But it does not look like her brother Juna is coming. Until 05.00 pm awaited but has not come as well. Then he ordered a drink to eliminate his saturation waiting. The day began to feel dark, did not feel the time was at 06.00 pm. Three iced teas in Lusi's drink. But it hasn't come yet either. Then Lusi sent a short message to Brother Elfa. Sister Elfa only answered that Lusi was told to wait for her. Until finally adzan maghrib reverberated. Lusi also decided to pray Maghrib first. Finish the prayer Maghrib Lusi was back sitting in the resto earlier. Where is the promised place. Exactly at 07:00 pm, Susi was still waiting for the arrival of Elfa's sister. When Lusi decided to go home. Suddenly, Lusi saw a woman coming and sat down in front of him. With a face that looked so cold while looking at Susi. The woman looks to be over 35 years old.
Maybe this is the person, is it true that the woman in front of me is Juna's sister. Lucid Benak
"I'm Elfa, Juna's sister" he said.
Ah sure enough, in the heart of Susi.
Then immediately Lusi looked at her with a bit of tension.
"Is it true that you are called Luci"
"I-iya brother"
"From her beautiful appearance. And I want to know how old you are?" asked Elfa looked at Lusi while folding her hands.
"24 years" replied Lucia
"Lecture or work" he asked again.
"Oh so it looks" said Brother Elfa
Then Elfa took a deep breath.
"There's something I need to tell you. Since Juna knows you. He did not stop asking to be married to a woman named Lusi", he said again.
Susi was shocked to hear what Elfa said.
"Lusi. I ask for your understanding. You do not rush to be married by Juna. You should understand that. Juna should be focusing on college. Not the focus of wanting to get married."
Susi was even more surprised by what Elfa said.
"But I never asked to be married by Juna sis"
"Lusts.. You don't have to give up. I know you are old. Where might Juna ask to rush to get married. If you don't ask him first. I don't want you to disturb Juna's college"
"it seems there is a misunderstanding brother" said Luci
"I don't care. I warned again. You should never bother Juna again. And let him focus on college" Elfa said.
"Good brother. I won't bother Juna anymore" said Luci
Then suddenly, Lusi's tears fell. He rubbed it and immediately left. He tried to stay strong and did not want to cry. The more he cried the more his heart was broken. Then Susi immediately blocked Juna's number on her phone.
When I got home there were no taxis. He decided to go home by riding an ojek. But in the middle of the road, it rained heavily. He also took a moment. I don't feel like the clock is showing at 21:00 p.m. The rain has not stopped either. Lucia forced herself. To get through the rain even if it has to be soaked.
Arriving home at 22:30 p.m. It looks like I've been waiting in front of the living room. Dad looked at me with a sharp look. Lusi just looked down and was afraid to see his father.
"Where have you been. Go home malem is still usual" said Father angry
"There is a need well" said Lusi slowly.
"There is no time but night. Why go home malem. What about people again?"
He was shocked when I spoke like that.
"Ma.sorry father"
"Your passions should be thinking about your future. Don't keep creeping. Now any man would want to marry a woman like you. Never stained people and never mental disorders anyway. Any guy who wants a 'former' woman like you Luci"
Then Lusi's tears broke as the father said so. Bak was struck by lightning hearing his father's words that so cut his heart.
"You're just embarrassing the Lusi family. I'm disappointed in you. Because you've failed to keep your own honor Lusi"
"Dad sorryin Lusi. I'm sorry. I don't know how else to apologize to Dad", said Lusi immediately kneeled before his father in tears.
But his father was silent. Throwing his face away.
Susi was just crying a bit.
Suddenly I came and was shocked to see the sight. Then she approached Lusi and told him to stand up.
"Had Lusi. You go in the room, your shirt is wet. Later in the wind" said Mother brought Lusi to stand and enter his room.
"But ma'am. I am angry with Lusi", said Lusi while crying.
"It's been.. It's been.. Come on" said Mother again.
Then Susi went into her room with Mother. He also changed his wet clothes.
In the room he was crying. Because he didn't think his father would say that. His heart was broken and very disappointed. And from a distance Lusi heard again that Mom was angry at Dad.
"Dad has to apologize to Lusi. I'm talking to her until she cries"
"Mom, Lusi is the first child. He should be an example to Lisa. But why could he be so wayward" said Dad.
"Know that Susi's mother was a good child"
"Mom, just look at it from yesterday that Lusi was crawling and I kept paying attention. College fails and marriage fails what the child wants. From childhood Dad was always hard on him. Make an effort to learn with good grades. Let Lisa follow him. Where did it go, ma'am.. A child like this we can't expect" said Dad annoyed
"Dad can't say that. Dad has hurt his feelings directly Lusi" said Mother.
When I heard the commotion, Mom and Dad. Lusi's heart was getting broken. Her tears did not stop falling. Feelings of sadness, disappointment and anger towards him. Continues to cover in his heart.
Then Lisa woke up hearing the noise of Father and Mother. He also heard the conversation between Mom and Dad. Lisa was shocked when she heard everything her father had said. And Lisa just found out that all this time it turns out her brother was always the best because there was coercion from Dad. To be an example for him. Lisa felt guilty too. Because he had previously been envious of his brother who always ranked in school. All this was done just to set an example for him.
Then Lisa went into Lusi's room. And saw her brother full of tears. Lisa hugged her sister and strengthened her.
"Sister.. The patient brother. Brother must be strong. Lisa did not think that the life of her sister was heavier than what Lisa thought. Sorry, Lisa had misinterpreted all this time" Lisa said.
"Yes Lisa", said Lucia.
And after that incident. Lusi all night didn't stop crying about feeling sorry for herself. The words of the father continued to ring in the heart. Especially when Dad says that I'm just an 'ex-woman'. Am I that cool??? When you remember it all, it feels like Lusi wants to end his own life immediately.
