Love 2 DOA
Ch 03: The Past
Stars & Moon decorate the night sky of Jakarta. The journey of a girl's life fighting for an uncertain future.
Dark and cold nights, not an obstacle to the hustle and bustle in Jakarta. Especially suburban and densely populated areas. Faintly heard from outside, the voice of the young men who were busy chatting and joking while plucking the guitar strings gently.
Maria couldn't sleep at all. He just sat down and fell in the room. The wall clock shows at 11 p.m. He opened the door and walked to the mirror in the living room. Bounced on a sad and empty face from the mirror, like a human who has no soul.
Slowly, Mary headed for the kitchen. He took the kitchen knife off the shelf and walked to the bathroom. The sound of water and water filled the silence. Slowly he sat on the floor and cried without making a sound.
Tears that came down hinted at the heart of Mary. The pain and sadness that was invisible and soaked all this time, he let out. Slowly, he slashed his left arm. Blood came out of Mary's delicate skin. Beautiful skin that holds many wounds and secrets.
2 Small incisions were given to his left arm once again. The third, fourth and fifth incisions he gave to both arms. For a moment, Mary stared blankly ahead. Blood kept coming out from both arms of his hands.The tears came down more and more rushing flooding Maria's cheeks, he shouted very loudly without making a sound. Only the sound of tap water continued to fill.
15 Minutes Maria spent in the bathroom. And for 15 minutes he hurt himself. Slowly he came out of the bathroom limp and staggered. His arm he covered with a towel to avoid blood dripping onto the living room floor. He immediately went to the bedroom and closed it tightly.
Time ticks and shows at 12 p.m. Grandma immediately woke up and took ablution water, then spread out the prayer rug and performed tahajud prayers. In his room he prayed to Allah SWT, so that his grandson would be given health and safety. Grandma's tears came down, remembering how painful and painful the road Mary was on. Grandma is not Mary's grandmother. But he already regarded Mary as his own granddaughter.
10 Years Ago.
Blitar, East Java
"You are, so the child is useful little, already 8 years old is still troublesome. Just die there" a mother slapped her daughter.
"Mary is wrong what ma?. Maafin.. Maafin Maria. "the cry of little Mary while prostrating her holding the feet of her mother.
"Maria is ready to be punished if wrong. Please forgive Maria. Mary does not want to go to hell.
"That's why you say you eat 1 meal a day 1 time. Kowe thinks we have a lot of money. Eat 2 times. The tired is mama. Find the hard money" slapped his mother once more to little Maria.
"Your father has gone to another woman. Cheated him. Sense.. Mama's life is hard, plus take care of you again. Burden tau. "said his mother once again and now dragging Mary's ear to the point of bleeding.
"Ma is sick. Mom's sick. Forgive.. Maafin Maria. Maria promised to eat 1 time. Maria will also try to beg" Maria cried while enduring the pain.
"It's good, it's been told from the first cave, only now it's conscious. Sana goes begging on the highway and the money goes straight to Mama."
Mama took off her window and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Little Maria then ran to the bathroom to clean up the blood and wounds in her ears. Without long, he walked out of the house and started begging on the street.
As the day wore on, Mary saw a Father, Mother and child buying toys and snacks across the street. For a moment Maria's chest hurt. He only held his chest that hurt once. Little Maria had no idea what this pain was. Then it appeared in his mind, whether he could get such a beautiful life.
It was getting darker, little Maria came home with a total of 100 thousand rupiah. The mother was waiting at home and smiled widely to see Mary carrying a lot of money. Taken all the money and without further ado, he went out of the house somewhere.
Maria, tired, spread her legs and body on the floor, and soon washed herself in the bathroom and walked into the living room, kneeling and folding her hands.
"God thank you for today. Maria saw my mother happy, Maria was very happy.
Lord, Mary does not want to be a bad boy and a bad boy. Sorry Mary for Mary's many sins. Thanks to all.. In Your name, Lord, Mary prays and gives thanks. Aminn" little Mary's prayer and thanksgiving.
Mary begs sometimes, but she never forgets to go to school. The fee waivers given by the school and the help of the teachers greatly helped Maria to continue her education. . Maria was a very successful student. But unfortunately there are no parents or families who support and support him from behind. Mary simply walked and fought on her own for the rest of her life.
2 Years later, Maria is 10 years old. A young age for children in general. But not for Maria. He began to learn the truth and the real face of this world. He began to realize that his mother had never been there for him. But he was trying hard and strong.
The morning before the start of the activity, Mary knelt down and prayed
"Lord.. What are the sins of Mary?. Do you hate me that much?. I want Papa to see me grow and develop. I want to be Papa's little girl. I also want what it feels like to be loved by Mama". Mary's crying in the room.
Suddenly the mother opened the door and pulled Mary out. The house looks so messy. Maria didn't realize that Mama had unpacked all her clothes and valuable papers.
"Hey son of a bitch, let's just change your clothes and pack your belongings . We're leaving now" Mama told me, putting on all the clothes.
"What's the matter ma? " ask Mary in confusion.
"Udah bacot aja lu. Soby..!! " yelled Mama while pushing Maria.
After the preparations were completed, they both took a bus to Bandung City. During the trip, Maria did not say a word and only fell silent. He was afraid, if he asked too many questions to Mama.
Arriving in Bandung, the two of them went to one address and arrived in front of a simple house and looked worn out. Upon entering inside, a middle-aged man of about 48 years old greeted the two of them. Mary was a little worried if she had to live in the house of an unknown person. But of course he had no choice, because the man would be his stepfather.
How and when her mother met her stepfather, Mary did not know at all.
3 Years passed, Maria began to enter the Junior High. But Junior High was not what Mary expected. But hell is ready to devour it. Bully and torture even abuse must be experienced Maria. And at the same time, the true nature of his stepfather began to be seen.
