My Stepfather

Met

// a human being must have felt how exhausting life is with various kinds of tests that come and go, and sometimes beyond our reasoning. Happy, sad has become daily food, and to stay alive the key is only one patient and sincere //

Jesica the young girl walked staggered down the aisle of Pasupati Bandung bridge. His hand held his head which was aching from the impact with the wall yesterday. Sometimes her tiny lips move.

He was confused how to go home, while the distance to the house was many kilos of meters, it was impossible for his legs to be strong for such a distance. Want to take a taxi is also impossible, he did not bring any money to pay the fare. Jesica's clucking pissed, poor at his fate.

The sound of car horns blasting his daydream. As soon as possible he pulled his body against the wall. He was hoping why the car wouldn't hit him. The white car stopped after it almost hit Jesica.

" Pa who is rich knows" asked Aldi while opening the car window and his head looked out. He examined the appearance of Jesica who was standing on her back against the wall with both hands holding her head.

" ah may be the tramp "said Arman indifferently, he also briefly glanced at Jesica who was mistaken for a tramp because of his appearance is very dirty and messy.

"But pa" said Melinda who from earlier also silently observed Jesica . Somehow because of the push what hand Melinda moves pull the car door handle and down.

" Where's Mell going?" Arman was surprised

" I want to see the girl" Melinda replied, closing the car door. Arman just grunted annoyedly, the time could be up if only take care of the bum. He eventually followed Melinda.

Melinda swung her footsteps slowly approaching Jesica.

" Your deck's okay?" melinda asked softly while patting Jesica on the shoulder

Jesica jumped in shock, as soon as the feather stood up. He did not dare to look back and chose to close his eyes. He continued to read the prayer of the savior.

Melinda saw the body flinch, but then there was no reaction.

"Is she deaf huh" Melinda asked inwardly

"your grandfather is brother, right?" this time Melinda slightly raised her intonation.

"that voice, I'm kind of familiar with that voice, but who?" the Jesica guman. He really forgot.

"Sir" the voice again greeted his ears.

" Mell's probably deaf, we should continue our search!" ultimatum Arman upset. He was really surprised, had time Melinda approached the homeless.

" ah that I know that voice, yes that's papa's voice" hiss Jesica was surprised mixed with pleasure.

Jesica opened her eyes and turned her body. In front of her Melinda was standing with a disgusted expression.

" sister Melll. papa.." cried Jesica hysterically.

Melinda made almost vomit seeing Jesica's extremely disgusting appearance.

" how many days has the child not showered, so dirty, duh nyesel me, know kek gini I ogah nyamperin elo" Melinda scolded while throwing her face, she almost vomited.

Uh but wait a minute, how does he call my name equally papa?" guman Melinda is curious,.

He took a tissue in his bag and covered his nose with the tissue he had taken. Melinda turned her back to face the girl standing in front of her with a sad face.

Jesica approached Melinda wanted to scatter in her brother's arms, but had not had time to touch her brother's body, Melinda had already brushed back with a face of shock and disgust for sure.

Jesica smiled wryly as Melinda did not welcome herself instead brushed aside and looked at herself with a look of disdain. He looked at his own body that was already dirty by the ground, a former fainting last night.

" this sister is Jesica" said Jesica shrieked

"It's not that you're not a cyka, elo just ngaku ngaku to be able to live a good life" Melinda replied in a fierce tone. This time Melinda will not be fooled by this mode, there are many victims.

"But this is me sister Jesica adek brother" said Jesica held back tears

"i could have sworn that I really was Jesica" Jesica said

" hah elo I think I believe in the elo talk, do not expect, Jesica is not this disgusting, she is beautiful, neat white and fragrant. Lah elo stink, messy, sick skin, so do not dream that I will believe the same elo. His face was a little different from Jesica's face of Elo's disgusting scabs" Melinda sneered

Jesica was stunned, his heart was like being hit by the words of his brother. His brother insulted him with his appearance that would not be recognized by anyone, it was very disgusting, even if told to choose he also did not want to suffer this fate. It was only fitting that his biological brother would not admit it with this kind of appearance.

"but brother..!"

"ga doesn't exist.! sorry I nyasel nyamperin elo, I think cyka was a bum who ngaku ngaku as my sister," Melinda cut stepped leaving Jesica who was still standing sculpting.

"sister wait" cried Jesica chasing after Melinda who was almost in the car with a limp step. Melinda undoes her intention to get into the car. Melinda glanced at her already visibly annoyed papa.

" sister please hear my explanation first" pinta Jesica insisted.

Melinda rolled her eyes in annoyance. Pardon dech nyesel put me, this boy emang ga have no shame yes, already caught boong his still insistent ,huh basic .. but well I dengerin first he mo say what" melinda got upset and closed the car door again.

"yes mo say what, quickly I don't have much time I'm busy" said Melinda.

Jesica smiled expectantly hopefully her brother believed after hearing her story. While Arman wondered why Melinda did not enter and sat with the homeless on the side of the road.

Aldi who had been silent since then decided to go out to find out what exactly happened.

" what's wrong?" ask Aldi confused

"iya Mell what's wrong, we've lost a lot of time because of that bum" Arman scolded while glancing hatefully at Jesica. He was nauseous to see Jesica's face full of bandages partially exposed revealing a scab that was still half wet.

"quickly tell me what you want to say!" nagging Melinda is upset

Jesica nodded and began to tell her everything she had gone through with nothing to cover, except the rape. While the three listeners were surprised to hear Jesica's story.

" so elo??" melinda asked in disbelief at Jesica's nod

Arman and Aldi were standing not far from the scene, just keeping their mouths shut. They can't believe hearing the bum's confession is none other than cyka.

They hesitantly approached and confirmed that it was indeed the person they were looking for.

Jesica's appearance is impressive, plus the white bandage attached to his head has undergone a color transformation into a dirty brown color.

Melinda hugged Jesica tightly, she was already indifferent to the current state of Jesica which made her stomach nauseous. To him finding Jesica back was a gift. Melinda kissed Jesica's cheeks gently. Her tears were united with Jesica's tears, they were crying in one embrace.

" I'm sorry big brother, I've been rude to you" Melinda said as she loosened her arms and wiped away tears.

" Don't you brother I understand" Jesica replied with a bitter smile.

Arman and Aldi smile happily finally Jesica found, although they still doubt it

"kangen mama" said spoiled Jesica

Arman Melinda and Aldi suddenly laughed simultaneously, like a choir group with a discordant tone, why? yes because their sound is able to make the eardrum rupture, so ugly the sound of chickens laying eggs is more melodious than their discordant sound.

Jesica covered her ears, her face pouting at the three strange creatures in front of her who were laughing at her.

"The vow of mending heard the sound of a cat playing rather than the sound of this strange creature, making my ears damaged"

Jesica took a deep breath and got up and stepped towards the car. The three strange creatures stopped their laughter and got into the car. It did not take long the car was sliding across the road that had begun to be quiet but rame, the point is not really rame but also not deserted very. Time showed at half-twelve o'clock at night, the car continued to comb the road to Bekasi.
