MENTALLY

ONCE MORE

"Pa...all is not mama's fault, why papa always cornered mama anyway," shouted mama no less loudly, these two parents are feuding in the family room. Such a scene has often occurred since Almira entered the hospital. Both blame each other in the care of their three children, especially Almira.

"It's clear he calls you on.., '" papa is no less angry. It feels like he who has a shady face and always pampering his three children has exhausted his patience, there is guilt and disappointment in the situation of his daughter now.

He often left his family to Kalimantan to make a living, so that the needs of his family are fulfilled, but even the situation is like this. Money is a lot, psychic troubled kid. The thought of work cannot focus, it must be on Almira.

"Enough!" sentak Radit who just arrived after meeting Pak Sultan a few minutes ago. "Don't blame each other, it's too late. If papa and mama kayak gini, not only Madam Almira who is crazy but me and Bima," said Radit by holding back his annoyance at mama and his papa who are still selfish and blame each other.

"Why are mom and dad? son success? great kid? or all of his mentally ill children!" Radit inflamed, he did not hesitate to look at both his parents sharply. Manners he duakan number, he was fed up with the condition of the family like this.

"Let's give us the right example. The child will model the behavior of both parents, our first school is both our parents, not the other. So please.ayo we heal Mbak Al equally."

Both parents were silent, if it was the child who spoke and it was true, mama and papa realized his mistake, as if his regret arose if there was Radit or saw Almira.

"Mama...now Radit asked, mama want Mbak Al healed?" ask Radit seriously.

"Not to be asked, as a mother obviously wants her children healthy wal afiat."

"Okay..khen give Mbak Al freedom to live life as he wants."

Mama was surprised, giving freedom to Almira? thinking about it never, for mama only she can make Almira successful and become a woman of dreams. "meaning? you can't educate Almira that way?"

Radit shook his head, "Mama and papa still have an obligation to educate us, but we also have the right to live with our wishes as long as they do not violate religious and social norms."

"Can you make it clear, what desire do you mean?" it seems that mama disagrees with Radit's idea, she still continues to dictate children in parenting patterns.

"Mama has set us up in everything, from small to now. But Radit asked Mama for a chance to make us choose our own talents and interests."

"Are you sure you can succeed according to your talents and interests?" challenge mom with ketus.

"Related."

"Why can you be sure when you have no advantages whatsoever," ketus mama without shady aling-aling, not even thinking about Radit's feelings.

"Mama is a great mom, right, very attentive with all the children, but why don't you know the advantages of Radit?" satirize Radit with a mocking smile. Sometimes stubborn parents need to be straightened so that the child does not become a victim.

Feeling the emotional tension of his wife and son is rising, Mr. Muhtar prefers to hear Radit's advice. Free to serve the request of the wife who seemed to dominate without giving a solution. "Then what do you want?" ask Mr. Muhtar to Radit.

"Let Mbak Al quit the medical-major"

"Ma..listen first to Radit's reason," pinta Pak Muhtar upset.

"Papa don't follow him, it has nothing to do with Almira's illness with the medical department. You don't make it up, Dit."

Radit just smiled cynically, "Radit has just met someone who has been the place to confide in Mbak Al all this time."

Mrs Anggraini and Mr. Muhtar fell silent for a moment.

"Even Radit to his surprise, we who claim to be family, claim the most affectionate with Mbak Al, even claimed to care the most with Mbak Al never once invited to vent. Papa and mama's daughter is very good at displaying her happy face so that the inner pressure she experiences is not sniffed at all."

"Who is that guy?" asked Mr. Muhtar, he would ask the person to be close to Almira so that the princess felt safe and could share her grievances.

"Radit does not want to call it first, Radit just wants papa and mama know the complaints of Mbak Al so far. Mbak Al already feels the inner pressure may be said to step on the High School period. The rhythm of his learning is more crazy, there are no friends, no girlfriend and get demands from mama again," Radit began to expose a series of complaints Almira that he read from Pak Sultan's phone earlier.

"Even Ma'am Al could cry for hours with the man, just to take off his wedge. She was tired of my mother's orders, studies, lessons, and doctrines to be the woman of her dreams. The highlight when mama was arguing with Miss Endah."

Radit deliberately stopped for a while, seeing the look of the mother who had been caught was very shocked when she mentioned one of the names of BK teachers at her school. Mr. Muhtar was curious, he turned his head and gave a piercing look at his wife.

"What did you really argue about until Madam Al felt so embarrassed?"

"What a debate, mama doesn't argue anything with that teacher!"

"Write, Ma. In order for this problem to immediately find a solution, once my mother does not uphold my ego so that the harmony of our family is maintained" Radit pinta to lower his voice.

"Ck..kamu it really ngeyel, Dit. I told you mom didn't argue with that BK teacher."

"Well, tomorrow Radit's gonna find out for himself."

"You live the chronological story how complicated it is, or maybe you do not want to be opened so that your cruel behavior to Almira is not known," began deh, the atmosphere of mutual blame appeared.

"Papa don't accuse me recklessly. Mama never did anything cruel to Almira. Mama tells Almira to perform so that Almira becomes a smart and dream woman. So mom told her to teach lessons, swim and piano so she could become a quality woman. Mama also told him to get into medicine because he thought he was just a doctor, that guy was said to be successful."

Radit and papa compactly shook their heads, "Mama looks like a short!" papa's teasing that immediately went up, Almira's discussion with his wife always led to a difference of opinion. It feels like Mr. Muhtar really wants to stick the head of the wife to realize your ego is destroying your child.

"We're talking in papa's study, Dit. We can find a solution without your mama," added Mr. Muhtar in an insinuated tone. Without saying goodbye Radit left the mother who was once again ignored by her husband and son.

"Keep your mama not considered," mama jolted full of emotion.
