Lantern Behind The Bars

Bad friend mother

****

At 17:00 in the afternoon

Once in the yard, before entering I immediately put my hijab back on and I opened my sweater and I kept it in a bag with my hat and glasses, I put on the black skirt that I brought before I left, and I took off my shoes next door because my right leg was already very swollen and it hurt a lot.

Then I checked the CCTV footage from my phone screen and I saw that my mother had returned from the store, there were also Mang Nanang and Mang Barus in the living room, it looks like they are chatting while enjoying a cup of coffee.

I opened the door and said my regards.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... "

"Waalaikumsalam.. eh Neng Sherin just came home, that's his leg why is Neng so swollen?" Mang Nanang asked, apparently anxious to see that I was not wearing shoes next door and my feet were swollen to look like steamed balls.

"Mang fell earlier in school," I answered, forced to lie.

"It must be quickly sorted Neng, already swollen so, the pain will be severe if later didiemin," Mang Barus said.

"Yes Mang now began to feel pain, it was almighty. If you'll excuse me, go to the dressing room first" I told Mang Barus and Mang Nanang.

"Yes Neng, be careful of Neng's path," Mang Barus said as he looked on with pity at me.

Then slowly I walked to my room, but my mother saw me.

"Sherin your leg why, honey? Why swollen? You're falling, aren't you?" Ask her, with a panicked expression.

"Yes Mother, I accidentally fell sprained on the road," I was forced to lie to mother.

"Geez, honey, aren't you careful? Yes, call the masseuse, huh? Later Mommy asks to call Mang Barus," concluded the mother while rushing to go to the living room approaching Mang Nanang and Mang Barus.

I just walked to my room, I was tired after finishing my business, I felt like I wanted to immediately lay down my body on the bed.

When I was busy stretching my body on the mattress, there was a sound of mother's call followed by a knock on my bedroom door.

Tok tok tok tok

"Just enter Mother, not locked really," I asked mother to come in immediately.

My mother opened the door and came in to me.

"Darling, where did you end up? How come home in the afternoon, then why did you fall, son?" Ask mom, looking at my shapeless feet.

"Jalan aja Bun to the Mall is the same cement, so that was I wanted to get down from the 2nd floor through the stairs continued to slip Mother," I also tried to give a logical reason to mother..

"Why don't you take the elevator, honey, why do you have to go up the stairs?" Mother was curious.

"Full Bun, over time waiting, so it's through the stairs so be spit." I was unthinkable with my mother's question about it and I just answered her question spontaneously with what came to my head.

"Emm.. jaudah, next time you're careful, don't go berserk," Mommy doesn't seem to suspect me and just gives me advice.

"Yes Mother, next time I'll be careful. Oh yes Mother, this is your ATM card I returned, afraid to forget but sorry Mother the money kepake much, I promise someday I change deh …." While I reach for your mother's ATM card in my pocket, then immediately give it to your mother.

"Oh yeah, what did you buy, baby?" Ask mom, looking curious.

"Emm. I bought a cell phone" I replied. "Isn't it okay, Bun?"

"What's the phone for, honey? Don't you have any?" Mother looked at me with a surprised look.

"Emm it's Bun, in the old mobile phone I can not be many applications because the storage is a little, it's okay Mother I buy a new mobile phone?" I tried to convince my mother not to ask any other questions.

"Nothing dear, as long as you use the phone well, use it to learn yes son!" mother says. It turns out that mother is not angry because I just buy things.

"Thank you Mother, emm but .. Mother's money runs out a lot, Mother do not get angry?" I said, while I put a spoiled expression on mother.

"Emm.. Are you out of money how dear is the money?" Mother looked back at me with a curious look.

"20 million Bun," I said. I just said it to my mother without further ado.

Mommy just scrunched her forehead, had not had time to respond, Mang Barus knocked on the door, telling her that the masseuse had come.

Finally the mother was distracted and immediately took me out of the room to meet the masseur who was waiting in the living room.

Then my legs began to be sorted slowly, the longer my legs became more painful because the touch of the fingers of the masseur's hand pressed my feet more, I could only bite my hands to hold my groaning voice, but suddenly the 'crack crane' sound of my leg joints sounded very loud when.

When I screamed, the pain could not be expressed in words.

The mother beside me could only call me. Mang Nanang and Mang Barus looked horrified to see me.

After the massage, Mang Barus and Mang Nanang saying goodbye to go home, I immediately went back to the room.

After my feet felt lighter, I forced myself to clean up immediately, even though my legs still felt sick.

After cleaning myself, I immediately rushed to the kitchen to cook, but it turned out that my mother approached me.

"Honey, you eat first, Mommy has cooked," said Mother. Asking me to eat right away.

"Mother cook? Mommy will be tired all day in the store, Mother will have to rest a lot first Mother …." I was a little prattle on mom.

"Mother is better, besides Mother has had a lot of rest, you are also tired darling, must also Mother who does homework, you are her duty to study diligently Nak, you are her duty to study diligently, not even tired of managing the work of parents, let alone you will be a few more days want the exam and your legs are also not healed,"

"Geez Mother, by the way, I do not feel burdened at all kok Bun, I do not want Mother soybean, Mother and my sister candidates must be healthy , I also still had time to study at night, Mother does not know I really expect the presence of a sister, I just want my Mother and sister healthy, besides my legs have improved Mother …"

"Emm.. thank you very much dear, Mother is proud to have you Dear .." said mother. Then hugging me, I returned my arms. "Mother keep health, do not let mother soybean."

*****

At 19:40 pm.

While lying on the mattress, I immediately saw CCTV footage installed in several places.

I saw in the Monkey Love Gang's house that Dad went inside and then left again. 'Any' makes me even more suspicious.

Then I continued to monitor the activities around the house of Aunt Isma, it turns out that Aunt Isma has returned from nowhere.

And not to forget I also monitor the activities around my house, it turns out I saw Aunt Isma was sneaking into the yard of the house, then walking towards the side of the house while carrying something, he said, it's kind of a small sack but the top is tied with a rope.

I kept watching her closely, I saw Aunt Isma stuffing the end of the sack into the Roster window of my mother's room.

Obviously I was very curious about what he was going to do.

Then I immediately saw the CCTV in the mother's room, it turns out that what Aunt Isma took out of the sack was a snake like a Cobra.

Without thinking long I just ran to the family room to tell mom.

"Mother... Mother, there is a snake in the room, Mother do not go into the room?" my whisper in your ear. Immediately I told my mother what I saw.

I who was panicking lowered the volume of the voice like a whisper, for fear of being heard by Aunt Isma outside.

"Why do you whisper, darling?" mother looked surprised to see me panting and panicking.

"Std... Mother said slowly, anyway Mother do not enter the room yes, there is a Bun snake, in the room Mother!" ask me, while I cover my mouth with my index finger.

"Dear the hell, it's impossible in Mother's room there is a snake, you are ngawur ah!" mama concluded, not believing.

"Come, where did you end up? Didn't you go to the room?" Mother still does not believe.

I just forced my mother to believe, so that mother does not go into her room.

"Once out of the Bun, we have not locked the door, anyway Mother should not open the door to Mother's room, danger, Mother anyway wait here do not go anywhere, I want to peek at the person first there is anything, please Mother just sleep here, wait for me!" I firmly stand with mom.

I just left my mother in the family room alone. I immediately rushed to pick up the phone, then I replayed the CCTV recording data from the time of the incident, I saw that Aunt Isma had left and went straight home.

I immediately went out to seek help, there happened to be some people in Kamling Post, I immediately asked them for help to catch the snake in the mother's room. Arriving at home, they immediately caught the snake.

Before long, the snake was finally caught by the citizens.

Sure enough, it's a Cobra-type snake like the one I saw on the CCTV footage.

Mother looked surprised to see one of the residents who brought one Cobra snake from inside her room.

"Mom, this snake of his has been captured. This is how Mom, there's a snake coming into Mom's room?" Ask Mr. Rudi, one of the residents in charge of maintaining security around the complex.

"Yes, thank you sir, I also do not know how it happened, I was told to my son Sir," replied the mother. It seems that mother is still in shock with what she saw just now.

"Oh yes Ma'am, this is a danger Mom, thankfully I'm not okay" said one of the residents who I don't know her name.

"Yes sir, fortunately there is my son who tells you," explained the mother.

"This is how it goes, Neng?" Mr. Rudi immediately asked me.

I also explained to them a false story, because if I told them the truth, my mission to expose my father's actions would definitely fail.

"So gini sir, I wanted to lock the door, but accidentally saw someone in the yard, I was curious, I continued to follow slowly until the end of the wall there," while I showed him the place. "Then I peeked silently, the man brought it. like a sack, kept going into the window of Mother's room, I saw like there was a rope still hanging on the window. After I looked around it turned out to be the tail of the snake Sir, I just love Mommy, ", I said, at length.

"If that means clearly this is a crime ma'am. As soon as Mother is more alert, I am afraid that person does intend to harm Mother or Mother's family, where is the husband of Mother?" Ask one of the other residents, who I also don't know his name.

"Yes sir, I must be more careful next time, it happens that my husband is working outside the city sir, I live together with my son," said the mother.

"Oh then we say yes ma'am, if there is anything do not hesitate to tell us, tonight me and my colleagues turn to patrol, later I help watch the house Mother from the outside," Mr. Rudi finally paid off after his affairs were completed.

"Thank you a lot, Fathers, sorry I've been troublesome, what not to coffee first sir, I make coffee first," bargained mother.

"Sama-sama Ma'am, no ma'am thank you, I immediately say goodbye, afraid to disturb Mom's rest, this is her snake I just bring ya ma'am?" said Mr. Rudi. His hands clutched tightly onto the cobra's head.

"Yes sir please, take it. If so wait a minute, I bring the coffee sir, make it later, menggeronda," concluded the mother.

"It's so troublesome, thank you very much Ma'am," said Mr. Rudi.

"No sir, I am not bothered at all, it is precisely me who troubles the Fathers, then wait a moment!" Mother said. Then she rushed to the kitchen in a hurry.

I immediately helped my mother pack coffee and some food, then they left.

Mother seems to still feel shocked by the incident that just happened. Finally, Mommy started a conversation with me.

"Darling, fortunately, there are you, son, if you are alone, do not know how it happened" said the mother, while covering her face with both hands.

"Mother, there are things I want to talk to Mother, but Mother will believe not the same me?"

"What's the matter, honey? You tell the same story Mother, Mother must be horrified really," Mother seemed curious about what I would tell her.

"So I actually know who would want to do something to Mother,"

"Well, who's son?"

"Aunt Isma Bun,"

"Huh, Aunt Isma? But he's been good all along with us, right?"

"Well, that's why I asked Mommy to believe that I'm not the same?"

"The reason you see for yourself is that Aunt Isma who wants to do Mother's harm?"

"Mother, I can guarantee that the man is Aunt Isma, he's the evil Bun, this is not the first time, who yesterday swore oil on the front porch as well I'm sure it's Aunt Isma," I tried to explain to you. "when I was cooking again, I saw someone behind the house, until I peeked at the roster. That person is obviously Aunt Isma, I can't be mistaken to see that's why I nyamperin Mommy wants to tell you, but Mommy instead way out until I follow Mommy from behind and it turns out there is oil on the front porch, who tried Bun who swore oil, we're just the two of us in this house,"

After I told you, the mother seemed still confused and did not believe.

"Are you sure, honey, that's Aunt Isma? But why would he want to do Mother's harm? Is Mommy wrong with her?"

I also thought for a moment, because I do not know what exactly the motive of Aunt Isma to want to harm Mother that badly.

"I don't know Bun about it, but I can be sure and I can guarantee that it's Aunt Isma, I'm 100% sure%."

"If so we have to find evidence, dear, because this has included a crime case, but why did Aunt Isma to want to harm Mother? Mommy thinks Mother never made a mistake with her, is it because she envies Mommy because Mommy is pregnant again?"

"I will definitely get proof of Bun, maybe Bun, so yesterday I asked for help with Mang Nanang and Mang Barus to take care of Mother,"

"Why are you telling me the story now with Mommy?"

"Because I feel we are being watched on Bun, every time we are outside, I feel like there are people who have been sleeping since Mother went with Aunt Isma, she said, that's proof he can tell you that you ordered food,"

"This must be overcome, son, otherwise Mommy is worried that she is doing you too, Mommy must call father,"

"Eh don't Bun, don't tell me dad just yet,"

"Loh, why?"

"We mean to look for evidence first Bun, then there is a father even angry with Mother because it is thought Mother fabricated,"

"But we have to ask for help, who's son? If it's not the same dad,"

"Just don't tell me first with the father, sorry yes Mother is not her I'm arranging Mother, but let me later try to find evidence first, then we dismantle everything in front of the police,"

"Yes already, this time Mother follow you aja Nak, Mother believes in you, but we must report to the police if this is the way!"

"Ok Mommy, thank you Mother already believes in me,"

"Sama-sama Darling, but remember, you also have to be extra careful, out there Mommy also can not supervise you or later Mommy asks the store clerk to ngawasin you huh? Take you wherever you go,"

"Emm no need Mother, I can take care of myself, I must also be careful,"

"But Mother is worried about you, son …"

"So calm down, I'll be more careful,"

"Well, where are you going tomorrow?"

"Emm.. tomorrow I'm going to Bun school, about her there's an announcement she said,"

"Yes, now we sleep if so, fear tomorrow you have bad luck,"

"Yes Mother, Mother also sleep ...."

After chatting, my mother and I immediately rested, because it was almost late at night.
