Erik [4] - Tearing Books

A security guard slowly opened the gate as

my car has arrived right in front of the gate of the nursing home.

"Finally we arrived too," said Good who since

it was always a storm in the car. "I can't stand it anymore. I'd love to

go to the toilet."

"Next time, we'll say hello to the caretaker first. Period

you know how to go into the toilet of the home," chirped Indah while

giggling to see the behavior of his twin brother.

"Good, you hold on a minute. Later after us

salaman with the caretaker. Then you can go to the toilet" said

Rosie's.

I can only smile at my family's behavior

every moment is always crowded by the Good and Beautiful behavior. While I wait

the nursing home attendant finished opening the gate, I occasionally noticed

a dinosaur-shaped toy on the dashboard of my car. Toy head

the dinosaur continued to be mangosteen because its neck was made of per.

Looking at the toy, I remember what happened in the past when I

I got a picture book from Rama's father that I was still calling at the time

Om Rama's.

***

Dinosaurs are giant creatures that live on earth

for millions of years. Since I was a child, I have admired dinosaurs.

When I was a kid I was so happy to get a dinosaur picture book. From

I got a lot of information about all kinds of dinosaurs

who have ever lived in this world. At first I knew only one dinosaur

the new T-Rex I know is Tyrannosaurus Rex.

After reading the book I just found out there are dinosaurs that belong to the type of Ankylosaurus,

Giganotosaurus Carolinii, Megalosaurus, Liopleurodon, Suchomimus, Velociraptor,

and there's so much more. I don't really know the names of dinosaurs.

I was so excited about the book that almost every

the day I looked at various dinosaur images and read information

about her. Unfortunately, my happiness did not last long. Two weeks

after I had the book, my father found out that it was a book that I often had

read turns out to be a gift from Om Rama. So did you know that mom

get a food recipe book from the same person. At that moment I

don't understand why you're so upset when someone else is being nice to you

our families?

My father was someone who had a bad temper and

often be rude to everyone. He is rarely even in

homehouse. Usually he often spends time in gambling places even often

spend the night there and do not go home for days. When I was a new adult

know that the place that seems to have become the home of both fathers is the area

a dimly lit shop that has now been evicted for a long time and switched functions into

shopping mall.

My father's temperament has been temperamental since I was a child.

His behavior has become more and more so since the mother had a miscarriage. There are

the problem in the womb, that's what makes the mother never

could be pregnant again forever.

***

I remember very clearly the events of that night.

I haven't been home for more than two weeks, as if I were more

comfortable to be in that dimly lit stall rather than spending time with

own family. That night he came home shabby and from his body

it has a very unpleasant aroma.

I even thought, "Daddy haven't been a long time

a shower?"

From his mouth was the smell of liquor. I've been craved

stranger to such smells because once one day I found some

bottles of liquor lying in the trash can in the kitchen.

That night I was laying on the couch

family while reading each page of the book accompanied by various

dinosaur images. I felt shocked when suddenly father appeared in the room

family and slowly stagger towards the sofa.

"Dad's home yet?" ask me while feeling astonished

look at the look of a father who looks shabby.

"What are you doing? The little boy should be at this hour

she's asleep!" say father with a chaotic look and a little tone of voice

snarl. Semeriwing I inhaled all the unpleasant smells coming from

his body.

"I'm not sleepy yet" I replied briefly.

I really want to close my nose because I don't

hold on to his body odor. But I must refrain from

do that thing. Maybe you'll be mad at me for being offended

with my actions.

"What books are you reading?" ask father who

I was curious about the book I was swording.

"I'm reading a dinosaur picture book. Dad knows

noot? From this book I just found out there are various kinds of dinosaurs

ever lived in the world."

"When did you have a book like that? What's your mother

who gave it?"

"Since a week ago I have had this book.

This book is not the mother who gave it but someone else."

"Other people? Who's the guy?" Dad's tone

now it's starting to rise. "Hurry and tell dad!"

"That man is Om Rama. He also gave me mother

book, but mother's book contains many pictures of good food."

At that moment I innocently answered in accordance with reality

and honestly. It turned out that from my words it became the beginning of a dispute between

father and Om Rama.

Instantly like demonic possession, both of father's eyes were direct

glared and his face flushed red.

"What did you say? The book is from the village

now live in my kosan?"

I was afraid to see my father's face filled with fire

"Yes, Father," I said with terrified words

look at dad's face. "Om Rama, that's who lives with grandfather

Burkhan."

"Delight that guy!" Dad immediately seized

my dinosaur picture book.

Suddenly his big hand tore my beloved book

that's. Each page was one by one forcibly removed by father's rough hands.

"Dad, no!!" I was directly reflexed

screaming in fear from looking at the face of the father who was filled with anger like a person

being diabolical.

I didn't seem to care about my screams. It continues to be

ripping my book as he pleases.

"WAND. Come here quickly!" After my father was satisfied

tearing up my book, he cried out in his mother's name.

My mother was not feeling well at the time because

he often rested in his room all day. He rushed outside and stepped out

his feet are going to the family room.

"Sir, have you come home yet?" ask mom

the tone of voice sounded so weak and uncharacteristic. "There is

whatisthis? Why are you guys making a fuss?"

I have been so scared since facing my father,

she ran to her mother to ask for protection.

"Don't say much to you, Wanda." Dad hurried

stepping closer to mother and her big hand immediately grabbed the mother's arm

it's so tight.

"aaa... Sick," cried the mother groaning in pain.

"Wanda, is it true that the villagers gave

you two books? I won't let go of my grip before you

answering my question," snapped the father in a tone of voice full of anger.

"aaa.. Sick," cried the mother who was in so much pain.

I think dad's clutching mom's arm is getting firmer than

preceding.

"iii.. Yes, Rama has given us both

books."

Plakkkp...

"Such as you are willing to accept the gift

someone else!" Instantly the father let go of his grip, but without

presumably as fast as lightning he instantly smashed his palm

big to mom's face.

Suddenly it made mother fall to the floor, as if

he had no power to resist the push of his father's hand so tight.

Seeing the condition of my mother in pain I tried

help him to stand up. I haven't been able to help mom, as fast as dad's lightning

pushing my little body so hard that it hit the wall. I'm sontak

immediately screamed because there was pain and pain on my back and shoulders.

"Sir, you can do anything to me. But please

you don't hurt Erik."

I could only curl up on the edge of the wall because I didn't

know what I have to do.

"What care are you with my son. Erik is not my son

your kid. Did you forget? Your son was dead before he was born. Because what?

Because you are nothing more than trash. Women who can't

giving birth means a woman who is no longer useful in the world

it's." it's."

"It's up to you to insult whatever it is about me.

I'll never care. But all I care about is Erik. Indeed I am

know he's not my real son. But I've treated him as a child

my birth "

"Fuck all that you say. You are already

no longer useful as a wife. You know why I'm more often

spending time in a dimly lit shop? Because there I can get

more enjoyment than spending time with you. As long as you

know I keep letting you stay here because so you can be

my son's nanny. You are not so different from the slave in my house."

Instantly, Dad directly hit all sorts of blows

to the mother who was on the floor. I feel sorry for the conditions

mom, but I can't do anything either.

"I have to go to the boarding house occupied by the villagers

that's. He's been very presumptuous to give you guys stuff. It's the same

he just trampled on my pride as a man."

"Don't do that. That guy wasn't wrong. Wrong

it is I who will accept the goods given by him."

"You are a woman ******! Don't you ever ban me

to finish off that guy tonight iuga."

Dad hurried to walk towards the door of the house and went straight

we went to the hotel which was a few meters from our house.

"Better mom sit first on the couch. I'll get it

drink to mom." I grabbed my mother's shoulder and invited her to immediately

sitting on the couch.

"No need, son. I'm just gonna go after your dad. Moms

worried that he would make a mess in the boarding house that Grandpa Burhan and Om occupied

Ramah."

Although the condition of the mother is not healthy plus her new self

just getting rough treatment from dad. Mother is still trying to

stand up and walk to the door of the house. Every step of his foot

looks staggering. I feel sorry for seeing mom like that.

"Mom, I better go with you there."

"No need, Erik. It's adult business. You didn't

can go there!"

"I don't want to let Mom do anything." I

still forced to accompany the mother out of the house.

It seems like she was in a lot of pain and lost a lot

the energy so that he no longer resisted as I helped to break it down

walk to kosan.
