The Dilemma of a Mak



"Ra, here's your phone, again sorry," Rocky put Ara's phone on his desk.


Ara was a little surprised by Rocky's sudden presence, even since the incident Ara did not think about the phone anymore.


He took the phone and moved it to a drawer where he used to keep books and questioners, until now there was no intention to talk, he let Rocky with his guilt.


"Ra,, talk, say what I should do, don't let me with this guilt ra!" Finally the sentence came out too, and stopped Ara's activities that turned back the sheets of the year's edition of the magazine unpleasant.


This time Ara raised her head, her eyes glazed back but could not look at Rocky.


"Get out....." His index finger pointed at the door with a suppressed voice and heard a growl, his patience with the disgruntled Rocky disturbed him.


Rocky did not expect Ara could throw him away, even to look at him reluctantly, only this time he was treated by a woman like this, even he was willing to beg for forgiveness.


"Well Ra, if my mistake can't be forgiven anymore I'm willing to stay away from you, and never see you again, I'm sorry once again, if you want to forget about me, please, I'm going Ra,!" This time Rocky is mortally wounded, powerless, holding back the tears.


While Ara buried her face in both hands, crying over her own attitude, it was so hard for her to reconcile with a piece of Rocky's apology, even coming to terms with herself, it felt that she still couldn't accept it.


Rocky passes away leaving Ara, they are both injured, but there is no room for them to accept each other's treatment, it may take time alone, but until when? Ara who does not want to talk and Rocky who wants to improve his relationship is not even able to do much because of the violence of Ara's heart that can not be ignored, increasingly making Rocky more stressful.


With a lackluster move Rocky decided to return to the city today too, maybe better as it is, the script is not kelar-title until now made his priority, time focus to be completed.


****


Already three days Ara every afternoon shivering cold, since the change of the dry season to the rainy season the last three days, every day there is no day without rain, no rain, the atmosphere of the district where Ara lived was very cold plus the rainy season as it is now clearly getting colder.


Luckily Ara keep the morning, so that every afternoon can be as clean as the room when the cold and shivering comes, unmitigated if shivering will be heard the sound of strong teeth grinding, he said, while her body temperature was very normal, and Ara was also confused just this time feeling this way.


It was three weeks after the incident, three weeks also Ara did not meet Rocky or just see him, even when the schedule washing him in the place of Aunt Hana never once met again with Rocky, even when the schedule wash him in the place of aunt Hana, maybe Rocky did not come home because during church worship alone never met or saw, but maybe also because Ara often sat in the back (but that's just a guess Ara only), and it's been three weeks that Ara has never been to a group of young men, either, and amazingly it has been three weeks also his cellphone left in the drawer of his work desk until the phone is really dead no battery, and Arapun has gradually forgotten the incident, and the, all activities returned as usual.


But Ara felt a little strange with herself, since Ara started to feel frequent chills in the afternoon, she also had a cold, but it would happen every night, her appetite was also reduced, she also had a cold, even this morning when the mak cook instant noodles because the kitchen ingredients are empty due to the rain since last afternoon made mak can not shop fish, Ara like not to smell the aroma of the spice, Ara, finally Ara just forced herself to eat rice alone, fearing her stomach is problematic if often not filled.


"The pill is often night loh mak, if it's bad luck even not a cold" said Ara a little laugh.


"Loh, don't you eat ra's noodles?" Mak was a little surprised by his daughter who really likes noodles even this time did not touch her boiled noodles.


"Ara is afraid Ara maag sick mak, some days late to eat, so let Ara eat rice!" Not good to taste the same mak if he says nausea smelled the aroma of instant noodle seasoning.


"Emang can eat without any side dishes Ra?"


"It could be mak," Ara's smile reassured mak.


Ara finished her meal, but by forcing herself, almost got expelled again, but Ara tried to hold her back in fear of getting worried.


"Oh yes mak, last month ko mak do not want to receive money from Ara?" The girl looked towards the mak who was filling the water flask.


"Ra, Ara's money save it yourself, son, make it later Ara manor can go to college in the next year, surely Ara is proud Ara can enter college with her own savings, after all, Ka Riska also can already pay her salary to be sent to the mak, Ara knows ka Riska already got a good job at the mining company in the city of M, so Ara has to go to college, son, at least your education will be useful for yourself or for your children in the future, do not like your mother, your oppung not so care what education is, education, your mother is just a graduate of Elementary School, see what our lives are like."


"Yes mak, Ara must be a lecture mak, promise, so I can bring mak holiday to the Netherlands see the windmill."


Mak smiled at the spirit and willingness of his daughter to go to school again, mak slightly regretted his mediocre life, so Ara had to be willing to budge not directly continue, so he did not continue, the thing that Mak fears is that when Ara so enjoys having income will forget her intention to continue to college, what a dilemma for mak, mak, he also fears that Ara's life will not be as far as what he has experienced until now.


"Yes mom, it's almost seven, Ara left first!"


Pamitan of Ara disperse the reverie of the mother, a little smile for her daughter who worked hard, even her brother Riska never experienced what Ara experienced and lived today, Ara, although it must be ironing and really must be economical, but Riska has completed her Stara 1, even if Riska teaches private, it is only for pocket money only, the tuition fees are still mak who bear.


"Udah, don't try so much to see Ara, all children have their own fortune, Ara is a diligent child, a great child, a strong child, a good child, a patient child, mak, his son is also smart, do not show too much your kasian taste as Ara mak, he does not like,!"


The father turned out to have heard and noticed the chatter of his wife and daughter, seen mak rubbed his tears with his sleeves, the father rubbed the back of the mother to calm the heart of the mother a little.


Mak just nods and smiles towards the husband of almost twenty-seven years living with him with five beautiful and handsome children, mak continued his work after giving his father coffee that was forgotten.
