LET ME PAINT THE WIND

#3.EMPATHETICALLY

Nisa blinked her eyes, woke up when the dawn adhan really reverberated from the mosque not far from her house.nisa immediately tidied up her bed which was just a relaxing mattress, thin pillows, and, and a blanket that is not thick of course.then he went to the kitchen tidying up a dirty kitchen tool before later he will take it to the well for washing. it was still dark did not make Nisa want to lazily.what she could do at this time would soon be done. her stomach was suddenly hungry but she did not dare to eat anything before mother gave her, although at this time on the table there is a piece of sponge leftover snack father last night.nisa gulped his saliva.well he will drink more to prop his stomach.

"be careful to bring the dishes yes nis. "said mother soft".. later when it is finished washing the dishes, eat sponge for breakfast ya. later mother taro in nisa's room.. " said mom half-whispering probably scared of waking up dad.

Hearing that nisa was quite excited, nisa nodded her head before she finally brought a dirty plate that before she had put into a small bucket to the well. Daddy's snoring still sounded loud, nisa hopes that until later she goes to the rice field to herd the ducks father should not first wake up or he will listen to the cruel sentences father like the days before.

Smp 037 wono village.

10:30 , hour of rest.

a boy, medium-statured in general 7th-graders, was walking slowly towards the library.His hands seemed to carry provisions, he said,.. after arriving at the library the boy went to the reading bookshelf before then he chose a chair that was in the corner of the room.he would read the book while enjoying his provisions.

the boy opened his provisions there appeared to be some fried bananas and fried yams, then he began to read.

"s...!! an exclamation made the child called andi turn to the origin of the voice.Andi felt a little disturbed, but he immediately covered up by immediately putting on a smile .. and greeting the child who reprimanded him. "what is her??.

heri immediately sat next to andi".tumben rest you to the library. not playing ball? ablaze

"i want to read another book. hot once today her. anyways you don't see any children playing ball too right?

heri smiled at the horse because no child was seen playing ball today, not because it is now the second break, but because today it is again very hot.

"after school yuk fishing?!

" pretty you mah. "heri was like sorry to have invited me.

" i don't reject you, just can't today.. "

comforting him.before how long the class entrance bell rang andi immediately packed his bag of supplies that he had brought, then put the borrowed book before it was raked perbus, and then put the book, before then andi stepped into the classroom with heri.

"Assalamu'alaikum." andi said his greetings as he was about to enter the house, after school.

"waalaikumsalam." sahut andi's mother from within.

"what's mom cooking today??

" mother does not cook a lot of children, there is a vegetable lodeh salted fish just as sambel terasi." said the mother slowly.

" it's already delicious loh ma'am.. "said andi.toh andi still remember once when the father had not got a definite job almost every day they ate with oil of jelly. sometimes even with fried salt first mixed with garlic and it goes for almost two months, lucky also though the side dish is sad they can still eat rice. unlike some of their neighbors when in trouble there are those who can't even eat rice. replaced with a process made from cassava ingredients that have been soaked with water for three days after that in a rough mash before then steamed a few minutes. people here call the food with the name iyek. sort of rice tiwullah. but fortunately andi's father immediately got a job as a teacher when it was then from there the economy of the family andi gradually improved until now. it is a thing to be grateful if at this time they can eat rice using vegetable lodeh, salted fish, and sambal terasi.anything if we live it with gratitude will be easy to enjoy it.

After changing his clothes, andi immediately sat at the dinner table preparing for lunch . andi opened the food hood, on the dining table was seen the menu mentioned by the mother.vegetable lodeh, salted fish, and, and sambal terasi.but there is one that is not mentioned by the mother just now, there is a bowl of medium size fried chicken heart sambal mixed with petai, favorite menu andi.

"mother cook this ampella fried sambal??

" it's a suprise from mom. heheheh"mom chuckled at andi. ".. there was a chickenman through the mother just buy his offal. "clear mom to andi.

andi nods her head in a nod to her understanding.Stop little smile at the end of her lips. "thank you ma'am." she said later, "more and more affectionate with mom... " continued andi while chuckling.

"although it is good to cook like this every day is definitely bored son. " said mother. "especially your sister does not like the same spicy spicy." said the mother continued.

"oh yeah.. Where's thalia ma'am..?? ask andi

" again mother told nganterin rice to the nisa. kasian she had breakfast earlier mother asked cma eat a piece of sponge. the same water.

"mother met on the street..? andy asked

" yes. if it continues so can be sick that child as strong as he is. indeed he brought provisions but for the afternoon.if that provision he automatic lunch he did not eat.. "

said mother concerned

andi let out a long sigh.if you've talked about nisa anyone will be concerned to hear it, but they can what are they only neighbor status. if a wife alone can not prevent the bad attitude of her husband especially as a neighbor, can you??

Once upon a time, the mother intended to adopt nisa as a child. but father forbid because he was afraid to embarrass the family of sirrisna sir who felt did not even care about it.and indeed his wife also refused because after all he did not want to lose his pride if until nisa adopted by mother andi. but wouldn't it be better for nisa if she could be with people who would accept her as a family with sincerity and compassion, than to stay with people who are called her family, she said, as the father of his mother instead can not position nisa as his son.can not even position someone they call a child as a human.. but all those desires must be based on consensus between two families, right? and the nisa family, especially the nisa mother, can not agree on it. finally only the best prayer for nisa that can be lafadz by the mother every day.

Not only felt by his mother, all the anxiety about nisa.all the villagers seemed like that.but again they could not do much, he said, they will only always wait while continuing to watch if it is really outrageous attitude sir sutrisna to new nisa they will take into account according to their way.. and will not care about the limits anymore.Sometimes you think whether mr. Sutrisna shameless or really do not know that he has been gossiped by the villagers, he said, even small children know about it, but sir sutrisna seems to be just indifferent. as if his attitude towards nisa is a natural thing that a father would normally do to his child, even though the child is a woman. he did not think about the question of why his rude attitude only went to nisa. not to his other three children.even yuli was his biggest child even there was never an excessive burden on him. if the logic in use should be yuli who does the work done nisa. but in fact even done by eight-year-old girls. nisa. very unfortunate your fate. "murm lirih andi.

it seems that sir sutrisna kept something in his life.is there an incident that makes a nisa must be responsible.is there something that makes Pak sutrisna so hate nisa. but still what he has done is inappropriate, too cruel if it should be given an excuse as the education of a father to his daughter. there is no pity from a sutrisna sir who is given a little for nisa. even a neighbor can feel it. yes one taste for nisa as a fellow human being is EMPATHY. doesn't sutrisna have it? or does sutrisna already have no reason for something to be said to be human?? not only does it feel not to have EMPATHY even sir sutrisna does not seem to know very well what EMPATHY is.

mother.. even though it is not who will always shed tears if you talk about nisa.andi feel so, or the villagers too?although currently the social law applies, with very rarely who want to greet sir sutrisna if passing in the street. and rarely want to just joke if you meet somewhere like in a place of celebration or any event, but anyway sir sutrisna not really care about it. he felt ordinary without anything that he felt strange, and his attitude towards nisa did not change.
