My Idamannical Boss

My Idamannical Boss
Siddharth The Fragile



For two weeks, Sid locked himself in his room. Every night, I cry incessantly.


Deva's father always brought her dinner every time dinner arrived, but in the morning when the waiter took her always intact.


Let alone Sid eating it, not even touching it at all.


"Sid, please eat a little." Deva's father scoops food, and tries to feed Sid.


But Sid brushed it off, making Deva's father even sadder. Since Kiran's departure, Sid has never spoken.


"Sid, for father's sake speak! Eat even if only a little. I'm begging you, otherwise I'll just end my life!" Deva's father said as he scooped up some more food, and thrust it at Sid.


"No, I'll eat later." Sid talks, but Deva's father keeps crying.


"How many days have you not eaten? Just ask me this time, you should eat!" The crying began to break, Deva's father had already begun to resign with this son.


"All right." Deva's father immediately feeds Sid food, although it is clear that Sid is like an undead.


His gaze was blank, as if it had lost its way of life. Even chewing food seems like a long time.


Even so, Deva's father will continue to try to make his son back to how he was.


This time, Deva's father is happy because Sid wants to eat even if only a few spoons. It was also fed by him, it makes Deva's father like having a child back.


"Dad." Someone enters Sid's room, calling Deva.


"Lakshmi, please save this to the kitchen. I'll keep him company." His orders to Lakshmi while giving the plate containing food.


Lakshmi said, and immediately put the plate into the kitchen. Soon he returned to Sid's room. Lakshmi approaches Sid, and sits down next to her brother.


Slowly, he rested his head in Sid's hands. Lakshmi's tears fell, sobbing sounded from her lips.


"Sister, I miss you. I miss joking with you." Lirih Lakshmi, who made Sid's tears come down. "Didn't my sister miss me? I miss everything so much, jokes and laughter with you. Don't you miss my stupid behavior? Sis, I miss judging you like I used to. I beg you to talk to me, anger me when I manage to prank you until you get upset and irritated at me!" Connect Lakshmi with increasingly loud stuffing.


"Sid, did you hear? You hear your sister's word?" Deva's father asked as he framed his son's pale-looking face.


"Sid, tomorrow's your mother's death! Are you going to be like this on his memorial day? Don't you remember your mother's message? Smile, on the day he will be commemorated!" Not giving up so easily, Deva and Lakshmi's father continue to persuade Sid to return to talk and move as usual.


"Sister, I know after Kiran's departure you're very sad. But, don't be a fragile Sid like this! It made us tormented, deeply tormented!" Sid remained silent, only tears managed to slide on his face that had been overgrown with mustaches and beards due to not taking care of himself.


Deva and Lakshmi's father again sobbed, the various ways they did to get Sid back to normal. But, it felt like it was only in vain that they got. Sid remains like an undead. Breathing but not moving.


...----------------...


Already very far away, Kiran and Rhea's mother walked peddling their wares. But, only three packs of fish that they managed to sell. Even so, the two did not give up. Although sweat had soaked their bodies due to the scorching sun that stung the bodies of both.


"Mom, we'll stop for a second. I'm tired!" Kiran exclaimed as she pointed at the shady tree with its leaves.


"Come, you must be tired." Rhea's mother took the bag of crackles that Kiran had brought, and walked towards the tree.


Kiran and Rhea's mother sat under the tree. Kiran stroked her already enlarged stomach, lovingly.


"Kiran, are you hungry? Or thirsty?" Kiran.


"Mom, I'm neither hungry nor thirsty." Kiran smiled.


"No, ma. Our trade has not been sold much, we sell again until it runs out, we just go home." Kiran nodded in disapproval.


"But what about you? Or let you go home, I'll keep selling these things." Rhea's mother's proposal.


Kiran nodded again.


"Kiran, please don't be stubborn. If we meet Sid later and see you like that, what should I tell him?" Rhea's mother weld. His words comfort Kiran a little, but make Kiran so miss the father of the baby.


"Mother, just tell her that I want to sell these fish!" Kiran replied followed by a crisp laugh.


Rhea's mother was moved, even under these circumstances Kiran could still joke around.


Andra, please take a look! Your daughter is just like you, she can still joke and laugh even though her life is shattering like this. Thank you, you have given me a very strong daughter. This time, I ask you to ask God to end my daughter's suffering, please take Sid to Kiran.


"Mom, why are you crying?" Kiran wiped away Rhea's tears, and hugged her.


"Mother misses your father." Answer Rhea's mother.


"Mom, I'm happy there." Kiran pointed at the sky.


"No, she must be crying looking at our current condition." Kiran.


"Mom, I'm happy."


"Why is that?" Asked Rhea's mother with a astonished face.


"Because we choose to endure and work hard, rather than begging under these circumstances." Kiran answered so wisely, Rhea's mother was more moved and proud of Kiran.


"Mother is lucky, to have a daughter like you. May happiness come soon, and there will be no more intruders in your household and Sid." Kiran nodded, then hugged her mother very tightly.


"Mom, let's sell these fish again." Rhea's mother nodded quickly, then stood up and brought two bags of crackles containing various kinds of fish that she would sell from the results of her father Narja's fishing.


They again peddled merchandise by walking around a remote village near the beach.


In the afternoon, Kiran and Rhea's mother come home. Their trade stayed a little, so Kiran and Rhea's mother went home with a happy heart.


"Mom, sir, we're home." Rhea's mother exclaimed at Narja's grandfather and Anjum's grandmother.


"Gee, my daughter and granddaughter are home. Grandma and grandpa were so worried, afraid nothing would happen to you." Greet Anjum's grandmother.


"Kiran is stubborn, ma'am. I took her home, but she wanted to continue selling." Adu Rhea's mother to Anjum's grandmother.


"Kiran, tomorrow you can't sell! It's punishment because you're stubborn." Kiran pouted at the words of Anjum's grandmother.


Since the presence of Kiran and Rhea's mother, Anjum's grandmother and Narja's grandfather become very happy. The reason, their house became warm with jokes from Kiran.


In fact, the villagers there who only amounted to a little love Kiran. They consider Kiran and Rhea's mother like her own. Moreover, there is a young woman who is also pregnant for four months often visit Kiran. Don't forget to also give Kiran baby clothes and supplies.


Seriate...


Hm... The author is sad to see that Sid is rich, but happy because Kiran is strong and tough despite having to live a difficult life in the middle of a remote village on a beach.
