Patience of Elisha

Chapter 3

When Elisha arrived at home, Nia was ready with cakes that Elisha would bring to sell around. Elisha changed his clothes and ate, Nia seemed busy arranging her cakes while counting them without even noticing Elisha eating.

Elisha ate only with a potluck side dish, a dry fish side dish was enough to prop up his stomach. Elisha never stroked and protested if eating always with the same side dish.

"Fast eat, you have to sell quickly!" said Nia with a sour face.

"Yes ma'am." Elisha answered while enjoying his meal, Elisha hurriedly finished his rice.

After eating, Elisha brought a cake to sell around. As usual, Elisha carried a basin filled with cookies and he put it on his head while walking around.

Elisha roamed through the village, one by one people buying his cake. Elisha was very excited when many sales bought.

Today the sun was scorching, This little girl continued to step into hawking her snacks. Sometimes I walk while singing. Elisha looked happy today, his sales were running out. In her heart she said, her mother would be glad that Elisha sold out his services.

He stopped when he saw the ice cream vendor, many children ran over to the ice cream and they looked happy. Elisha looked at them. Elisha tasted a drink he never tasted. Moreover, the weather was very hot, his throat felt like enjoying the freshness of the ice cream.

"Emmm!" Elisha gulped when he saw children his age holding ice cream.

"It tastes like eating that ice cream!" Elisha was silent looking at them, his saliva seemed to want to come out.

As soon as he regained consciousness, it was useless to think of the impossible. His mother could not buy him, let alone his father's salary was just enough to eat at home. Elisha two brothers, Elisha almost never given pocket money. Her brother always got the pocket money. His mother treated Elisha very differently from her sister Siska.

Elisha left the crowd of children who were buying ice cream and enjoying it. Elisha knew he could never buy and feel it. Better he go home than he's getting spit.

Elisha walked home, on the road he jumped and jumped while singing. He was glad to have sold out for a while. So he can rest at home. Such was Elisha the little girl who never felt disappointed with her condition. An innocent girl who was always patient and positive about her mother.

Kreeeeekkkkkk (Elisa opens the door)

"Assalamualaikum" Elisha opened the door with a feeling of pleasure.

"Tumben's coming home fast." His mother stared hard while shaking her waist.

"It's over, ma'am." Elisha handed his money to his mother with a happy face.

"Where to eat and then wash the dishes, cape's mom wants to sleep!" Nia took the empty basin and the money in Elisha's hands and left Elisha for the room.

Elisha said nothing, obeying his mother. He also went to the kitchen to eat. After eating, he quickly washed the dishes. Because he really wants to take a nap.

Praaaakkkkkkkk

Elisha accidentally broke a glass.

Elisha looked frightened, trying to hide the broken glass. But her mother had heard.

"What broke that?" His mother screamed from the room.

"C.ii..ii." Elisha answered with a stammering voice. Elisha seemed to tremble in fear.

"Huh, you're a fucking ya." Nia was before Elisha and drew Elisha's ear.

"Ohhhh...!" Elisha grimaced in pain.

Siska could only look at her sister with a kasian taste without being able to do anything about it. Siska understands her mother very well when she is angry.

"Tonight you slept in the barn, okay!" Nia snapped at Elisha.

"Mom, Elisha was afraid of cockroaches." Elisha trembled as he pleaded, his tears dripping down his cheeks.

"No mercy to a brat like you, understand!" hardik Nia with a glaring look.

"Done that glass!" nia orders by pointing the rest of the shards below.

Elisha also cleared the broken glass, his tears continued to flow. His body was trembling, his chest was hurting.

"Mother sorry Elisa ma'am!" Elisha kept begging.

But his mother ignored him and turned away from Elisha. Nia was very angry with Elisha, Nia had hated Elisha no matter what little mistake Elisha made. Nia will vent her anger, because in Nia's heart there is already hatred with her adopted child.

"Review you Siska if you see me helping your sister, you also sleep in the barn!" Nia threatened siska

Siska can't do anything. She then went to help her mother cook. Siska's feelings hurt when she saw her sister always get punishment from her mother. Siska knew why her mother hated Elisha so much because he was just her mother's adopted son.

The clock was showing at 21:00 after they had eaten. Nia did not abandon her intention to have Elisha sleep in the barn. When Elisha went to the room, Nia looked angry.

"Elisa, where are you going? you dare to fight." Nia pulled Elisha's hand violently.

"Mom too!" Elisha was crying his body was trembling.

"Enter this punishment to a child who likes to fight!" Nia pushed Elisha's body and locked the warehouse from the outside.

"hiks hyks hyx!" Siska was just crying seeing her sister being treated like that.

"Father please Elisha sir, Elisha is not naughty sir!" Elisha called his father. But tonight Iwan doesn't come home. He had to look after his jury's paddy warehouse.

"By...!" Elisha looked frightened. Inside the warehouse was very dark and dirty. Elisha had to sleep with a pile of unused used items and many cobwebs. Elisha sat in the corner holding both his legs, his chin resting on his knees.

"Yyyyyy....!" Elisha was surprised from his seat. At his feet was a cockroach. His body was trembling more and more, his tears were rushing down his cheeks.

His sleepiness was gone and turned into fear. He was very afraid of cockroaches. Even closing your eyes cannot. Until the night was very late. He tried to close his eyes but was hard to shut. Cold and fear are haunting.

Last night Elisha could not sleep, he just sat trembling and continued to cry.

The next day, Nia opened a warehouse. Elisha was still asleep. Nia woke Elisha, but Elisha did not wake up. Then Nia approached Elisha, holding Elisha. Turns out her body is hot, Nia panics she is afraid of her husband her behavior will be discovered. He took Elisha to his room. Nia was forced to make traditional medicine for Elisha.

Elisha woke up, his head was heavy. Today Elisha was forced not to go to school because of illness. Elisha had a fever, his head was very painful and his body was very hot.

Nia panicked not because of the kasian in her foster child. But, she was afraid that her husband would scold her when he found out about punishing Elisha sleeping in the barn. Nia knew her husband loved the foster child whom she hated so much that she did not expect his existence.
