Dark Child

The hand caress made Raina lulled. He got into the arms of a man he did not know or meet before. It was warm and calmed his heart.

The smell of the perfume he used was so soothing that he entered into the hot activities they did not think how his fate would be forward because of a sense of demanding him for this crazy activity. This feeling drives him to do things far away. His mind refused but his body wanted him badly.

The woman had touched the tattoo with a feather that extends from under her armpit to her right abdomen. Very unique according to him.

Raina looked at Jamrud's bead of eyes before the unification made him grimace from illness.

"Damn! Turns out you're still a girl" the man was upset. He then self-same and made a safety rubber. He didn't want to waste an opportunity he hadn't gotten all this time.

"If you feel pain you can hold my arm tightly" the man said, looking into the woman's eyes. The atmosphere of the room was so dim that the man could not see the woman's face clearly plus the alcohol he had consumed left his mind unfocused. But he could see the black mark on the woman's back at a glance.

Ten years later.

"I told you that the kid was just fucking for you!" ina, Raina's older sister.

"Sister, that's enough! You don't have to say that anymore!" raina did not accept. "If you don't want to help just tell me there's no need to insult my son!"

Raina's cries began to sound.

"Why don't you want to hear this reality! He came into this world and ruined your future. You're gonna have to quit college for a year because you're pregnant and you're giving birth to this kid. Neighbors and brothers blaspheme us because you have a child without a husband. Dad was sickly and eventually died from holding back his feelings. I'm finally struggling to raise your son so you can continue your education and go to work. When you were just working your son started getting sick and it took so much money that the family's assets ran out to finance his treatment."

"Mother just died and you came to borrow a large sum of money for your son's treatment. Where can you pay your debt? While the assets of the house you have mortgaged. Why don't you just let your son die, so you can get married again and find a companion who can sustain your living expenses in the future. Don't let you and your son get out of that inheritance house and become a kingpin!"

"Sister! You are outrageous. I've been quiet enough to face all the insults and insults from you. But not anymore! Until I die I will never ask you for help." pointed out Anjani. He was about to turn around when Ina replied to his words.

"Open your eyes, Raina. That kid always makes you hard. If you can find this father and ask him for help so that the boy can have a kidney transplant. However, unfortunately, you yourself do not know what the man's face looks like. It's sad" Ina sneered. The woman is upset that she did not get anything from the death of her parents as everything runs out for the treatment of Leon, Raina's son.

Raina herself wiped her tears as she left the mansion that belonged to her sister Ina. His sister was lucky to get the husband of a travel businessman. He also has healthy children. In addition, he still works at a private bank with a large salary. Something Raina had dreamed of all this time. But his dream was lost when the office fired him after he did not go to work for several days because he had to take care of his mother's funeral and took Leon to the hospital.

With Raina's grubby steps out of her brother's house, the only brother she has. He approached his motorbike and rode home. Her net captured the shadow of Leon sitting on the porch of the house while holding his textbook.

He stopped his vehicle at the garage door. He pushed the matic motorcycle inside and closed it. After that he approached Leon who was waiting for him. A smile was always seen from his pale face.

"I was waiting for Mom to come home" Leon closed the book and stood up. Raina then hugged her son's shoulder and they entered the house.

"Have you eaten?" ask Raina.

"No, it's not good to eat alone, Mom. Usually there is a grandmother who accompanies meals if the mother is not there but has now returned to the Power." There was the sound of breath from Leon. He was still devastated by the death of his grandmother. Their relationship is very close because only Raina's mother accompanies Leon every day if he is going to work.

They then headed to the dining table. Raina herself went to her room first to change her clothes.

A while later they had been at the dinner table and were enjoying a simple meal. Just some spinach and fried eggs for Leon and some tempeh.

"How's Bude Ina doing, ma'am?" ask Leon.

Raina pulled her two corners by force.

"Bude and Pakde are in good health. They send greetings to you," he said. Leon smiled wryly. Even though he was a child he could feel the dislike gaze of his mother's family when he was gathered. He asked his mother about this. However, Raina only answered that maybe Bude and Pakde were tired so behave like that.

Leon could only shut up. One day he also heard from his Budenya when grandfather died if he caused this family problem. At that time Leon was only five years old but the memory was still clearly imprinted in his mind.

About Dad, Leon did not want to ask again because it would only make his mother cry at night. Although he was the subject of ridicule from his friends at school who said he was an illegitimate child, he would keep his mouth shut. He did not want to make the woman who had fought for his life look sad. She wanted to see her mother laughing out loud like no other mother.

Leon is still a child but he has experienced many trials of life to make him have to think mature before his time. His childhood was filled with studying at home. He did not want to go out because he would only get scorn from neighbors or hear mothers gossiping or insinuating his mother.

"Eating Leon's eggs is good for your body" Raina said.

"I'm tired of eating eggs and meat, that's for Mom, that's it" Leon told a lie. His mother and grandmother always put the food menu first but they eat vegetables.

"You know if Mom doesn't like eggs. Instead of later I throw away it would be nice if you eat," persuaded Raina to give the eggs to Leon's plate. Leon then obeyed his mother even though he knew his mother was lying to say if he did not like being late.

''Ma'am, are we going to wash our blood tomorrow?" Leon sees Raina's facial features change drastically looking sad.

"If you don't have any money, we'll just put it off, ma'am" Leon said. Raina wanted to cry hearing Leon's words. Delaying it would only worsen Leon's disease. He could have been Anfal if it had been them.

"Mom already got the money from Bude Ina," Raina told a lie. The money in his pocket was only ten thousand. Where did he get his addition again.
