Pursuing Love in the Past

Awal

The morning sun shines on the earth, warming the day in the chirping of greeting birds. Leading a cute girl who was still wearing red white clothes sang cheerfully to the fringes of the rice field with a happy heart.

She is Ayunda, the girl who is always friendly and polite to everyone who is more mature than her. Born from a simple family that always filled with happiness. His father and his mother always gave him and his sister full affection.

Their happiness is always emanated from every laughter that is heard from their home. Almost unheard of quarrel between father and mother Ayunda. But there are always those who try to slander the Ayunda family. I don't know why the sirik neighbors really like to harass the Ayunda family. On that they never once offended even insulted even the restless neighbors.

"Dad... Mother.." call her cheerfully running on the edge of the rice field.

"Yunda, be careful, do not run around the slippery ground. You will fall, son." said the father.

My father just reminded him.

Aaa. shouted Ayunda as she slipped down into the rice field.

"Yund!" the father shouted as he ran towards him. He reached for Ayunda's hand pulling her out of the mud. "Your clothes are dirty" said the father.

"Dad was just worried about Yunda's shirt", said her tiny lips while scowling.

"Yes, sorry. You okay, son?"

"Well, it's fine, yeah."

"Thank God, but your shirt" worried the father.

"Quiet, yeah. I haven't worn a uniform yet." Ayunda smiled as she showed me a pocket of crackers filled with her school clothes.

"Oo.. Let's change! By the way why are you here, son?" ask her when she walks together.

"I brought Dad's favorite godoks, but it's dirty. Tomorrow I'll do it again, yeah, Dad", he promised his dad.

"No need! You study hard, that's enough."

"Well Dad" he said cheerfully, then he walked into a stream of water to clean himself, then changed his clothes in a cottage where his parents were sheltering.

"It looks like you've prepared everything" said the father.

Ayunda only retorted with a horse's grin displaying her small white teeth. Then he said goodbye to his father and his mother.

"Yunda leaves, Father, Mother" he said, kissing the backs of his parents' hands and walking away from them.

"Yes, be careful, do not fall again" said the mother.

"Yes, Bun" he said, waving his hand.

"Our little daughter is very beautiful, Bun" said the father, staring at Ayunda, who kept walking until she was out of sight. "I can't wait to see him grow up" the father continued. The mother simply replied with a nod and smiled widely.

***

"I want a divorce!" emphatically.

"Dad, don't be like that. We can talk well, think also of our children, Well" said the wife sobbing.

Ayunda did not come home from school for long. He said hello, then approached the Mother.

"Mother.." called her and hugged her tightly. "Mother crying?" ask her in wonder.

"Ah, no! It's the mother's eye for dust, son", it's beautiful.

"Oo.." said Ayunda.

Little Ayunda then ran to the father. "Dad, Yunda got good grades at school, take a look" he asked the father.

The father only saw it, then returned it to the princess. He did not want his daughter to see the sadness on his face. Not long after that, my sister also came home from school. He said his greetings and kissed the backs of his parents' hands with a frowning face.

"Force us, son, father and mother again there is a sudden need" said the mother.

"Is there anything more important than a Father and Mother's child?" ask her sadly.

The father and mother bowed lethargic, they could not speak in self-defense. Their oldest child with a sad face. If you knew, son, your parents would soon be divorced. How will you respond? the mother's mind.

Adrian runs out of the house upset with his parents. This is the first time that both of his parents have broken their promise. Ayunda caught up with her brother trying to persuade her.

"Don't follow me!" exclaim the brother who does not want to pity Ayunda.

In a stall stood a boy with a shabby quarrel. "Mom, may I ask for a little food, I haven't eaten for days, ma'am" said a boy with a lethargic face to the shop owner.

"Do you think this is a social parlor, go there!" said the shop owner indifferently.

The boy swallowed his saliva when another little boy bought a snack and immediately devoured it on the spot. "Mama. shouted the child as he continued to be looked at by the boy.

"Go there!" throw it at the boy. "You scared the buyer" he shouted, pushing the child. He fell right in front of the shop owner.

"Hey stand up and get out of here! insist the shop owner.

The boy stood up, and then he swallowed his saliva again, looking at the bread wrapped and placed in the cart rack of the shop owner. He slowly took two loaves of bread. Run without paying for it.

"Maling.. maling." shouted the owner of the stall.

"Sister, there seems to be a burrow" said Ayunda.

"Shut up!" adrian who was still upset.

A boy of Adrian's age was galloping towards them. Hiding behind a bush, he asks Adrian and Ayunda not to tell him where he is. "Please don't tell me I'm here" she asked, clenching her palms together.

Adrian understood what the boy meant, he saw people running to look for him. Then he shifted his body slightly trying to cover the boy so as not to be seen by them.

"Son, did you see a boy your age running this way?" ask one of them.

"There" said Ayunda seriously.

"Where did he go?" ask them seriously.

"I don't know, Sir, Mom!" the sahut casually makes the people who pursue more emotional. "I just saw her running in front of us towards that direction", Ayunda continued her words while pointing with her tiny finger.

"Thank you", they said, then ran towards the direction that Ayunda pointed.

"Why are you lying" the older brother said as the men ran away.

"I'm not lying, brother", he said. "He did run that way, I just didn't say where he was going" he said seriously.

"You're smart, Dek", he praised as he ruffled the adek's hair.

"Aaa.. My hair is falling apart", she was upset.

The boy came out of hiding, when it felt safe.

"Thank you" he said with a breath of chunks.

"What's your name? ask Adrian.

"Alfian", said.

"I'm Adrian, and this is my sister Ayunda. Where do you live?" tanyanya back.
