Lantern Behind The Bars
Draw up a plan
*****
"Aunt Isma? What's Auntie doing here?" my many.
Aunt Isma just pointed down the ravine laughing, I was surprised to see that on the edge of the ravine there was a Taxi car that my mother and I were riding in.
"Tante, what does Aunt mean to show you that car?"
"I will kill you, I will kill Rahma, I will destroy your family hahaha"
Aunt Isma laughed horribly, taking out a knife from her pants pocket, then pointed it at the mother who was standing next to me.
Then Aunt Isma stabbed the knife into the mother's stomach, I shouted hysterically (Tidaaaak ... Toloooong ... Ocity ..) However, suddenly Aunt Isma staggered and her body collapsed.
Apparently, there was someone who first threw a knife from the back right in the heart of Aunt Isma, before the tip of the knife belonged
Aunt Isma was stabbing into your stomach. After I saw it it turned out that person was Zen and my father.
I woke up from my dream, because I heard Zen's voice calling my name, all over my body flooded with cold sweat.
"Sher ... Sherin .. Sherin, wake up Sher, why are you? Hey Wake up Sher.." Zen woke me up, patting my face gently
I finally woke up.
"Zen .." said I.
My breath was still hunting, as if the dream felt so real. I looked at every corner of the room to make sure that what happened was just a dream.
"Hey, why are you Sher? You're dreaming huh?" zen asked, with a look on the face of a panicked person.
"Thank God it was just a dream" I said. As I rubbed my chest.
"What dream did you have, Sher? How do you scream for help?" Ask Zen.
It seems like Zena was curious about what I was dreaming about.
"Eh no Zen, it's okay .." I said. "Maybe I'm just a saucer, so delirious,"
"What's up Sher? That was you screaming like that" Zena asked, apparently Zena was worried about me.
"Yes Zen, I just had a nightmare" I finally admitted.
"What dream is Sher?" Zena asked back with a curious look.
Then I told Zena what I had just dreamed of.
*****
3 Days passed.
It did not feel that time passed so quickly, finally my mother and I were allowed to return home by the Doctor.
I have been able to walk back as before and the condition of the mother and her fetus is also healthy.
Me, Mom and Zen rushed home.
I was finally able to breathe some fresh air again, after a few nights in the hospital, making me feel bored and bored.
Arriving at home, Zena told me that there would be police coming to the house to meet me and my mother. I was a little surprised to hear the police say.
Then Zena told that the family of the taxi driver was investigating the accident yesterday and now the police are investigating the case.
Actually Zena herself became an eyewitness of the incident at that time, she saw clearly how the chronology of events.
Zena said that time suddenly there was a bright red Agya car with a license plate number 38 Leter B, Zena forgot to remember with the license plate number of the car, but he clearly remembered that his tip was 38.
My heart paled when I remembered that Aunt Isma also had a red agya car. I'd love to show the CCTV footage of Aunt Isma's house to Zena.
In the footage, it is clearly visible that the car is parked right in the yard of his house.
But there's a mother who's been with me for a few days, I can't tell you about that.
During the day, sure enough what Zen said, the police came to interrogate, asking about the chronology of the incident at that time.
Me and Mom just told me what it was. But Zena just kept quiet not talking a word, maybe Zena explained everything first to the police.
After the interrogation, the police left.
In the afternoon, mang Nanang and mang Barus as well as other employees came crowded into the house to visit the mother.
While dad hasn't come home at all, even as long as my mom and I are in the hospital.
After visiting the mother, they soon returned home as well as Zena. I ended up just living alone with my mom.
****
The next morning, it turned out that my friends and some representatives from my teachers also came to the house to visit.
The atmosphere of the house became so crowded, coupled with the neighbors, they also came to visit.
Shortly after some time they left, Dad turned out to be home.
As usual, my father only asked me and my mother, I did not want to talk too much with my father, I stayed in the room more while contemplating what had happened.
At around 19:30, I intend to approach my father and mother who are busy watching TV and chatting in the family room.
But my steps came to a halt when I heard something from their chatter, and then I listened behind the wall before my feet stepped in.
"Bun, Mommy has the USG yet?" Ask dad.
"Well, why?" Ask mom, it sounds relaxing.
"So our son is a boy or a girl?"
"Dad curious huh? Guess what?"
"Aren't the boys Bun?" I seem to want to have a boy.
I still stood behind the wall listening to their conversation, even though my feet were itching to get to my father and mother inside.
"Emm ... What kind of woman is a woman?"
"Dad wants his man Bun!"
"Well, are women the same?"
"Dad said, the father did not want to have a daughter, but it turns out that the first child born was a girl, the father was disappointed!"
I reflexively covered my own mouth with both of my hands when I heard father's words that made me suddenly feel weak.
"Well, is that Dad? But I see for myself Sherin's son is good, diligent, gentle, and also pinter. Graduation time yesterday, Sherin became the 1st general champion, Yah! Tuh I see for myself the cup as the prize, continue ... Sherin also received a scholarship to attend college. If Dad is like that, mother who is disappointed with Dad, mother who was born in our first child, Dad must appreciate the feeling of mother dong." Mother sounds a little angry at father.
"Any father never wanted to have a daughter. The father wants his son Bun, so that if the father of the business is there to help! Don't talk about it, make it dizzy." I also sounded a little snapping at my mother.
My knees are getting limp hearing what Dad said.
Father's words are like a dagger that slashes my heart, it feels so painful.
Now that I understood the reason for all of my father's attitude towards me, it turned out that father never expected my presence in my father's life, father did not accept me as his daughter, I'm just a kid who was never expected to live in this world.
I immediately rushed back to my room, with a feeling I could not explain with just words.
Then I locked myself in my room, I don't want to be bothered by anyone right now.
I could only cry as I could, lying on my head with a pillow.
I swear I will prove to my father that this child he never expected, will one day be the pride of all these people and never-expected children, one day it will be the son I expect most in my life.
I cried for hours. Without me knowing it turns out the time has shown at 00:00 midnight.
Not when her mother knew the secret, I was afraid it would adversely affect the condition of the mother's pregnancy.
But suddenly I thought of something in my mind, tomorrow I will restart my mission to protect you.
I've decided to tell Zena about the hidden CCTV, but excluding the surveillance cameras in the dark house, let it be my secret.
When the time has shown at 02.00 in the morning, my eyes have begun to be attacked by fatigue and drowsiness after crying and thinking about the problem so complicated that I finally fell asleep.
****
In the morning, after the house business was over I immediately contacted Zena.
[Hello, Zen?]
[Hello Sherin .. Good morning Sher?]
[For Zen, too,]
[Tumben this early in the morning already cheating me? You are the same good mother, right?]
[Yes sorry Zen if I disturb you early in the morning, me and my mother are fine, you are also good news, right?]
[No, since when did I bother you? I'm even glad I got an incoming call from you, I'm good news Sher ..]
[Emm what is it? Thank goodness if you are good news .. oh yes Zen, today you are not busy? Or is there an event?]
[Why Sher? Is it the same with me?]
[Uh basic, pede really you! I just want to see you if you're not busy,]
[Isn't that true ... You really miss me? Is that proof of meeting? Hiya,]
[Thou ..]
[Sher joking mulu! You are getting serious early in the morning! Emm .. Can Sher, where you want to meet? I also joined him at home,]
[Well, if you're not busy, we'll see you at school? How's it?]
[Don't dong! Let me pick you up, will I?]
[Emm .. okay if so!]
[It's been 15 minutes I'll pick you up, see you,]
[Okay, be careful on the road yes Zen, bye ..]
[Any boss Qiu hihi, bye ..] I can only shake my head at Zena's words.
Finally Zena and I agreed to meet, after I prepared myself, I asked my mother for permission to go out with Zena, mother also gave permission by giving a message so that I was more careful.
Because there's a dad at home so I can be a little more calm leaving mommy.
Soon Zena came to pick me up and we hurried off.
I asked Zena to take me to a quiet place, but instead Zena took me to the playground and took me on the cable car, I could only follow her.
Just the first time I felt the moment of being in a train that hung high, and it turned out to be quite calm and comfortable, especially for lovers who are dating.
Unfortunately, Zena and I are not a couple who are mingling, Zena and I are just friends no more.
In the train, Zena and I began to talk at length while occasionally enjoying the beautiful scenery that looks wide from up there.
"Sher, what's the matter you're taking me to see? Looks like there's something you want to say, huh?" Zena asked, breaking the silence.
I immediately turned to look at Zena.
"Oh yes Zen, I want to tell you something" I said, no further ado.
"Sher's story, I'd like to share with you my story, what's the story about?" Ask Zena back.
For a moment, I set my heart on telling you a problem that shouldn't be.
"Emm ... about what we were talking about on the hill!" my answer.
"Where? Is there any new news?" Zena asked, looking enthusiastic listening to my answer.
"Sorry Zen, at that time I couldn't tell you everything was the same. Here, I'll take a look," as I show you the footage of Aunt Isma's crimes. "Actually from the beginning I have installed CCTV cameras in my house and also the house of Aunt Isma, so I can know everything Zen," I finally told Zena the secret that I had been telling myself all along.
I really hope Zena is a trustworthy person right now. Because Zena's the only friend who's always been there
at the right time.
"So you were undercover at the time and there was a similar connection to this, Sher?"
"Yes Zen, I.." (disconnected because Zen chimed in my words.)
"Sher is being honest with me, everyone, don't cover anything else, I promise you I'll help you, okay?" Zena said, clasping tightly onto my hand.
"Emm .. okay! So at first I disguised myself not to spy on Aunt Isma, but to find out about my father Zen,"
"Your father?" Zena frowned, looking at me with an astonished look.
"Yes, after I found out that my father was in a relationship with Aunt Isma," I continued my words.
"What's? It's really-gener ... Hmm, continues?"
"Yes Zen, I know all the crimes of Aunt Isma but until now it is still a secret, you do not know I put CCTV at home, because if you know for sure all of it will be revealed, you do not know, while you're pregnant young and Zen's health condition is vulnerable, I don't want anything to happen to my mother and my sister-to-be,"
"So, that's your excuse, why are you so hard on the story all the same to me?"
I just nodded.
"Oh my Sher, it turns out that you've been keeping such a big problem a secret all along? That big of a problem should be you're not the one who's alone Sher?"
"I'm confused Zen, what steps should I take, I'm actually waiting for my sister to be born again everything will be revealed, but my mother's safety is threatened if I continue to delay. Let's see Zen, what car was dragging me to the same abyss that was here?"
I showed CCTV footage showing Aunty Isma's red agya car on Zen.
Zena immediately looked at it carefully. "Oh my god .. right Sher, I'm sure it's the same car, yes it's 2738" Zena said, pointing to the screen. "So you know now? All those events and terror were Aunty Isma Zen!" my speech.
"This can not be in Sher, if not immediately overcome I am worried about bad things happening to your family, especially you Sher, I do not want you to be harmed," said Zena, said, shaking his head.
"What do you think I should do with Zen?" I asked Zena, hoping that Zena would have an opinion or advice on the matter.
"I have an idea Sher, how about taking your mother for a vacation? Right now we're free time again before going to college, so your mother can be safe for a while and here we can destroy Aunt Isma as much, how do Sher think you?"
I thought for a moment too. "But it can eat a lot of Zen costs, and again .. not necessarily my father gave permission and also will you not be suspicious?"
"The cost you don't have to think about Sher. But ... If I have permission, I can't help you, Sher sorry,"
"I don't feel good about you Zen then, I'll trouble you,"
"Sherin please is also for your safety as mother, I never felt the slightest bit difficult because of you. As a friend, I can't see you like Sher's gini,"
"Zen ... Thanks a lot huh? I don't know how I can repay all your kindness. Meanwhile, I .. "I was pensive because of Zen's words.
"Sher, you don't have to think about that? Later you try to invite your mother first vacation, yes .. at least 1-2 weeks or if it could be better you are the same mother transfer, so that the mother can be safe,"
"Yes Zen, thanks again? I'll try to talk to you later, hopefully you agree,"
"Well .. That's dong!" zen. While smiling at me. "Tell me later, let me prepare everything? Anyway, you'll just be ready, okay?"
I just nodded in shame. But, right now it is only Zena that I can rely on.
Finally I felt relieved after telling everything to Zena, the burdens that propagate in my head the end can be reduced by sharing the story with Zena.
