Not long after Kelvin returned, the new semester began.
What was asked by Barsha, after a month suddenly came his own answer.
On that day, Kelvin was very different from usual, seemed very excited and also nervous, sometimes will also laugh alone for no reason.
"You're why,"Ask Barsha confusedly.
Kelvin shook his head while drawing something on the paper aimlessly, he said, "Ndut, can you play tonight at my house?"
"What's wrong?" Barsha said curiously.
"You're coming, 10 minutes is okay, okay?" Kelvin said with passion.
Barsha nodded, "Come, after I eat ya."
At night, Barsha goes to Kelvin's house as promised. Ms. Nina opened the door for him and said with a smile, "Barsha, Kelvin is again waiting for you in his room."
Barsha opened Kelvin's room door and said hello, "Kelvin, I'm in." He leaned to the side and stuck his head into Kelvin's room.
It seemed that in a rather even room, someone was standing in front of a table.
Barsha knows it's Kelvin, he's very familiar with his figure. It just feels strange, Kelvin who currently looks a little different from the usual.
He went into the room, stood in front of Kelvin, the boy looked nervous, there was a tiny sweaty grain on his forehead.
Barsha only realized what a difference Kelvin is currently with usually, under his shoulders looks a pair of hands intact.
Kelvin deliberately wore a long-sleeved shirt and stood upright in front of Barsha. Barsha knows the shirt, where the sleeves of his shirt always look empty when worn kelvin long ago. Now, he looks no different from the other kids at school, has intact and healthy hands, even more handsome and fresh than other children.
Kelvin looked at Barsha who was again confused by her clear eyes, after a while later, he looked back down at her pair of hard and stiff hands while explaining," This is a fake hand made in Jakarta during the holiday. My dad said, next year I'm going to Junior High, so he wants me to go to school wearing these fake hands, look better."
Barsha tries to touch Kelvin's fake hand, which she feels is not a smooth skin but a hard object without temperature.
Then Barsha tried to hold his hand, Kelvin remained motionless. The fingers and palms that Barsha felt remained hard and cold, that unpleasant feeling made her think of the scarecrow in the mall.
"Kelvin, can this hand be worn?" Barsha asked after a long time of standing.
"......" Kelvin paused for a moment and said, "It doesn't look like it can."
"Can't use it to eat, write, grab stuff, then what's the point?" Barsha was a bit disappointed.
Hearing Barsha's words, Kelvin's eyes dimmed, but he tried to smile with a slightly trembling tone he asked, "Ndut, am I like this nice no?"
"Not good!" Barsha retracted her hand as she said with a sneer, "What a good thing, fake hands are useless! That's so ugly!"
Before Kelvin said, Barsha had run away.
After that, Barsha no longer saw Kelvin using the fake hand, she had not even had time to look at the object carefully, did not know how it could be connected to Kelvin's arm. He only knew, after Kelvin heard his words, he first refused the request of Mr. Andy, firmly will not use fake hands to school.
Of course Mr. Andy was very angry, first slapped Kelvin hard.
How could Andy not be angry. At first he had chosen a private school that excelled for Kelvin through the help of his friend. The headmaster was willing to accept Kelvin as long as Kelvin used a fake hand to school. That way, at least the child can look normal and not too scary when in and out of school or activities in class.
But now, everything is so messed up because Kelvin doesn't want to wear fake hands.
Mr. Andy looked at Kelvin with a cold gaze, he said, "You know not if you don't want to accept papa's help, which Junior High School will you enter? Junior High 7! Children who study in school are rarely able to enter a good High School. Kelvin, hopefully you won't regret what you did today and in the future don't expect papa to help you anything else."
Kelvin turned his head and said obstinately, "Papa never cared for me either, after my hand was gone, papa never came to school at a parent's meeting."
Mr. Andy was more angry after listening to his son's words, he immediately slapped Kelvin. The slapped Kelvin directly hit the wall behind him because he could not control the balance.
Kelvin felt dizzy and in pain, while Nina tried to block Andy. Just at home and in front of his wife and son, Andy has only ever acted like this. He pointed a finger at Kelvin with a trembling voice, he shouted, "What, what are you saying!"
Kelvin finally managed to stand up, he lowered his head, rubbed his left cheek against his shoulder, his cheek ached, he whispered," Papa, I am willing to go to Junior High Country 7, I am, I promise you that I will graduate and get a good High School! Even with Barsha too."
He kept his head down and never looked in the direction of Andy. Finally in a smaller tone he said, "Papa, I won't embarrass you."
A year later, Kelvin and Barsha graduated from SD Harapan and managed to enter Junior High School 7 which is 3 kilometers from their home.
Due to the recommendation of the Elementary School teacher, Kelvin and Barsha were once again placed in the same class. Their class teacher agreed they would be my friends after learning of Kelvin's situation.
Mr. Bambang also again to the school to measure the size of the table in the new school and once again asked the carpenter to make a new table specifically for Kelvin. Other things their two children also cleaned up by him with Nina, while Andy sir did not help anything. Mr. Andy always went and came home from work with a cold face, if passing Kelvin's side never even stared at his son occasionally.
But Kelvin still calls him papa, sometimes if there are difficulties in life, he will also go to seek help, Mr. Andy. For example, ask him to help open a hard bottle cap or take something that is placed in a high place, even asking his father to help take off his pants and wipe his ass after BAB.
At that time, Mr. Andy would help out secretly and then leave without a word after finishing the job.
He knew he was outrageous, as a middle-aged man, why he could be hostile to his own son constantly. But, every day faced with Kelvin, the heart of Mr. Andy was always depressed by something, he was afraid after talking to his son, he could not hold back his emotions. Even though Kelvin did nothing wrong, but Andy still did not want to meet him, did not want to see his appearance, did not want to see him live on his feet, let alone his attitude when facing him always with respect, polite, but estranged.
The situation lasted a month, one day, Kelvin and Bu Nina were sitting together eating watermelon. Watermelon that has been cut and placed on the table, Kelvin lowered his head and gnawed at the watermelon without a handle. After having her face littered with watermelon juice, Ms. Nina will help clean it with a towel.
Suddenly Kelvin said calmly," Mama, mama's 39, so it's good to have mom and dad give birth to another child."
That night, Ms. Nina closed the door and communicated with Mr. Andy seriously with tears in her eyes. The atmosphere was indeed a little heavy when they talked about this topic again after so many years. They are no longer young!
Finally they agreed that they would not use contraception in the future and let things run as they should.
