Lacara
Section 19
The motor enters the home. Opened full face heml and saw a house right in front of his house. The house he used to visit when bored at home because the Papa did not want to invite him to play, while the mother who was too busy gossiping with a friend Arisan. In that simple house of his, Zul could feel the warmth. He could eat with a family so warm, play horses with a Father who is far 180° from his Papa, told before going to bed by a Mother with a soft voice different from his Mother, Mama, also a middle friend who always invited him to play marbles rather than gadgets, and a younger sister who he had been waiting for his presence. Zul still remembers how he and Randy always talk to a fetus in Nani's stomach. A sister who is very much awaited by both boys less than 2 years old. Although Zul knew it was not his younger brother, he felt that he was one of those simple little families.
About 2 months ago, he was back in the house he had long left. Come quietly at night so that no one knows. However, something made him feel sad. After 1 week back at his old house, Zul feels that the family he once thought his family changed. Seeing the family made Zul feel guilty. If he had opened his mouth 6 years ago, he might have seen the family as he had seen it.
"Have you come home?"
The question from his father who had just got out of the car broke his daydream. He just muttered and walked into the house. "Papa has told you to come back here. But if you tell Amel about it. Papa will take you abroad," said Budi trailing his only son from behind.
"Zul won't go abroad, Pa. Anyway, without Zul saying, the truth will also be revealed in a moment," said Zul quickly up the stairs to his room.
"What did you say?"
Her father screamed. Since long ago, Zul was always afraid if he had to meet the Papa who never showed a loving aura. The life of the Papa cannot be out of business, business, and business. To the extent, Zul is bored if constantly at home. Especially when Papa and Mama quarrel because of money problems. Win it long ago, it does not feel at home.
Just as he was about to close the curtains of his house, his eyes saw a girl who was in his heart was coming down from the verza motor belonging to the man he hated so much. Especially when you see them both laughing and looking very close. Upset, Zul closed the curtain hard.
"Amel's just got me!"

"Gue was sure, Ka, if not girls would know," said Cara who just got off the Raca motorbike.
"Udah, Ra. There's still plenty of time and remember I'll help you."
Smiling ways. Understandably he behaved like that, because he just wanted to quickly solve the problem that caused his mother to change. But, Raca's words have a point as well. It's not good to be too hasty. Even if you fear, the results will disappoint. The randomness of Raca's hair made the boy freeze for a moment. "Seneng deh has kayak lo chairmate. Always there when I need to."
"Raca will always be there for Cara. I don't know if it's the other way around" Raca said, raising her eyebrows with a seductive look. How to laugh and cover Raca's face with her palms, after which fold her hands in front of her chest. "The way will always be there for Raca."
3 Seconds later, the two shuddered amusedly and laughed. To the extent that Raca hit her thighs with her gel. "Guy me. Don't imagine how people are dating?"
"Don't shadow. Ntar lo can cry in the corner of the room because it can not fathom the same kegelian girlfriend." Raca mangosteen. Cara hasn't just said that she's been thinking no-no. "Gue in, yeah, Ka. You go home, it's late."
The guy turned on his bike. Smiled at Cara and pinched the girl's cheek before finally darting away to avoid a counterattack. "Basic! The rotten pickle emang ngeselin."
~•~
Entering the house, Cara was surprised to see her sister crying on the sofa in front of the television. He immediately ran and hugged his sister. In his arms, Hafidz was still crying to the point. "Daddy, why?" tanya How to lift the face of the sister and wipe the tears that come down.
Not yet his sister replied, the sound of Mom's snapping from the room startled Cara. So this is why her sister is crying. I don't know how many times his parents fought. You can be sure the problem is still not far from your mistakes.
He took his sister to get into the room. Hugged the sister tightly. "Why are you mom, sister?" asked the 5-year-old in Cara's arms.
"Mothers try acting again. So Hafidz does not need to cry," answered Cara who always lied to her sister. This is also the way his mother used to make him and Randy believed.
"But Hafidz did not want to hear Mom get angry at you."
"If so, Hafidz cover your ears with your hands, let's not hear." His sister was always submissive and did what he just said.
"Still listen, Brother."
"The meeting."
Maybe that way is quite powerful because eventually Hafidz began to stop crying. Now it's Cara's turn to shed tears. He did not want his family to break up. Yang Cara wants her family back to what it used to be. There are always things his father did to change the atmosphere of the house and also his mother who always makes snacks to eat together while watching television.
Before, when his father was arrested. How to always pray that his family will return to what it used to be. But what happened was the opposite. The arrival of the Father even made his mother change.
Now Cara's cornering on her bed. Hugging the bolster and closing the eyes. Shouts as an expression of protest from the mother were heard all the way to the room.
"I'm disappointed in you, Mom. For 6 years I prayed that the charges would be wrong. But in fact, none of the truths appear."
"I'm tired of it. Every time I come home from the stall and meet the Mothers of the complex. They always said my husband was a prisoner. Hot ears. But I can't hide because it's a fact."
"I lived 6 years without a husband. To live 2 children is difficult, especially plus Hafidz. You know, mas. Because of you, Mothers of the complex always say that Hafidz is an illegitimate child."
~•~
Today, Nani invites her two children to meet the Father who has been 3 months away from them. Since Heri's departure, the family has changed. Not using a taxi is just a crowded public transportation. "Amel Seneng wants to see him. Take a picture of Amel, Mom. Let Amel show off to the Amelites if you are now a policeman" said the 9-year-old boy sitting on his lap. Nani just silently heard her daughter's words. His daughter believed too much in his lies. I don't know what he will say when his daughter sees the father not wearing police clothes.
While the 11-year-old boy who continued to hold his mother's hand was silent. At that age, he understood what the mother said 3 months ago was just a trick. But he did not want his brother to know the truth.
Arriving at the prison, the boy and girl hugged the Father who was wearing clothes bearing the prisoner. Nani just sat down and put a bushel containing the food he brought. Heri sat down holding the princess. His son was sitting next to his father.
"Mom, take pictures of Amel with the Father" said the 9-year-old boy.
"Randy is coming, too, ma'am."
With his phone camera, he captured the moment. Then he told his two sons to sit on the bench there. Randy the understanding brother also took his sister away.
"I brought food to make, mas," said Nani pushing a bushel in front of her husband. Heri's face looks happy to see the mixed rice in front of her eyes. He had not eaten the wife's cooking for a long time.
"Mas, I just wanted to say that Randy and Amel would have a sister." Nani's words succeeded in making Heri stop his activities.
"You pregnant?"
"Yes. One week after that, I got pregnant."
Heri smiled and approached the Wife, hugging, and kissing. The stomach of the wife. "I can't wait to see your son."
"Mas. Every night I pray to God for the truth to be revealed. I'm sure you're not wrong" said Nani who finally can't resist the sadness.
"The truth will be revealed soon. Be patient and take care of the children. Especially this child," said Heri stroked the wife's stomach, "be the mother who loves them. Be the mother they always knew."
Heri told her two children to come closer. The head of the son, "Randy, you have to be a substitute for the father when the father is not home. You can't be whiny, you have to be the strongest."
"Ready, sir," said Randy, respectfully.
"If Amel?"
"So this guardian of your sister-to-be" replied Heri, pointing at the wife's stomach.
"Ready, sir," said Amel while respectfully.
After 30 minutes to return the miss. Nani took her son home. Even though the princess continued to hug her father and said if her father had to come home. "Amel wants you home. Who will Amel play the same horses?"
"And there's Randy's sister. Amel's share is big."
"But I promise I'll be home, right?" amel asked, holding out a little finger. Heri tied her pinky promise to the princess' finger. "promises. But I want the name Amel changed. So Cara."
