Reaping

Reaping
A decision



Rosie [5]


All the feelings I felt were raging in my heart. Exists


anger at Sinta because she had behaved as sadistic as it was my oadaku. However


on the other hand, I also feel bad because it must be an incident that I experienced


in elementary school it will be repeated. The name of an illegitimate child will always


attached to me. Besides that I was very sad because the gift doll from Erik had really been destroyed.


"I don't know what will happen to me after


to day. I'm sure the views of the students here will change for me when


they knew my true identity" I told Linda


when I decided that heart wouldn't go to class.


Linda was worried and sorry to see me


after falling apart, he decided not to go to class. He prefers


to accompany me in the garden.


"I don't know myself. But most importantly I will


always there for. I don't care what status you're attached to. That I


care about just one, I want you not to keep falling apart because


that incident," said Linda while embracing me and she tried to


consoling me.


The afternoon when the teaching and learning activities are completed. Linda


invite me to go into the room, at least I better rest in


bed than a whole day sitting in the garden.


When Linda and I entered the room, we saw Sinta


be in the room. I don't know where my strength and courage came from


that's me coming straight to him. There was a fight between Sundanese


with me and Linda. The incident caught the attention of all residents


dormitories. I have no regrets about breaking one of Sinta's teeth. That's even


not yet comparable to the treatment he has done for me.


As a result of the fight, Linda and I were punished for cleaning up


toilet for a week. Sinta was given the penalty of cleaning the toilet


for three weeks. One week as punishment because he had been fighting, he,


and one more week of punishment because he had done something


lancang broke my doll and took my birth certificate and attached it to


mading school.


The punishment received by Sinta was finally over.


But the impact of his actions continued I experienced during school there.


Even when I went up to eighth grade there were no students who wanted one room


with me. Good thing I have a friend like Linda. It doesn't matter if you have to


room with me again. Being Sinta since the class increase I never


meet him again. According to the notice from the teacher, the person turned out to be


escape from the dorm. Even Sinta's parents don't know where


her whereabouts. I never really cared about what happened


to him. I will forever hold a grudge against that man. Indeed I am


to know that forgiveness is a noble act. But I can't


lying to myself, that I will never be able to forget every


it hurt when the students started to stay away because they knew I was a child


haram.

Ramah [6]


A religious leader has finished leading a prayer together


with all the residents and officers of the orphanage. I hope for a sincere prayer


of all things can make Wanda who is now in another dimension


feel peaceful and calm.


Some of the people and my family were busy taking


food that has been provided. But Bakrie decided to accompany me


at the same time let go of the longing between two friends who have not been ten years


meet.


"Until now I regretted in the past once


do evil to you" said Bakrie, who was sitting next to me.


"I've forgotten everything" I said


I stammer my lips. "So you don't feel guilty anymore


to me."


"I used to be arrogant with you. I'm proud


I feel better than you because I am destined to have no people


anak anak. But apparently all my children no one has invited me to stay


with them. You who have no chance of having a child


bosom. In the end in the old age you are blessed by God because of the child


your stepfather was willing to take care of and experience living with his little family."


"I don't want you to continue to regret your fate."


"If I understand the meaning of an emotional bond with


a child is very important. When I was a father


young, I will take the time to spend with my children.


At that time I was too busy with the ambition of pursuing a career, to the point that I


I don't have time with my kids. My son eventually treated me


like I treated them. They are more concerned with careers as if


they don't have time to just chat with me. Even them


with the help of sending me to this nursing home."

others. The man must be taught a lesson so that he does not


the crime again.


A big decision I've made despite a little


doubt when making that decision. I had to do that when


the person I care about went to another realm because he was trying to save


my life. I lost Mr. Burhan forever. I've never been before


experienced something similar like this in the past. Both my parents


died saving me in a fire that broke out at home


our. Since then I have been an orphan.


Actions done by Wijoyo who is a husband


Wanda has gone beyond the limit. He has been the cause of Mr. Burhan's death.


During this time it turns out that he often does KDRT (Home Violence


Stairs) on Wanda. I actually often feel astonished by the bruises on


the woman's hand area. I often even saw a kebab wound on his forehead.


I asked him why he had the injury, he was always smiling


while saying that he is often careless while at home. Wanda often


he said that the wounds were caused by the fall of a thing or he who


accidentally slipped while in the toilet.


I actually had a little disbelief in what he was


say that. But I don't think there's any right to ask her that much.


Until one night a tragedy happened that made me unable to stay


silence knows that every wound that is often experienced by Wanda is because


wijoyo.


"You have to dare to report to the police about everything


the crime your husband has committed all this time" I told Wanda


he was taken to a clinic near Rumahnua assisted by Mr. RT.


"I'm afraid I'll get the nickname as a bad wife


for imprisoning my own husband."


"Wanda, just because you reported Wijoyo to the police


because all this time it's been torturing you. That doesn't mean you belong to your wife


seditious. Reporting to the police is a form of self-defense


what your husband's been doing all this time. She doesn't even


treating you as his wife, even you are already like a slave to him.


I'll force you to report it to the police. Yet I


will keep reporting it because he killed Om Burhan" I said


at length trying to convince Wanda so that he dared to take a stance so that


not constantly trampled on his pride.


"Did I not hear wrong? Mr. Burhan


died?" Wanda was so surprised to hear my words.


"Yes, he died trying to save me


when Wijoyo will hit me."


"I didn't expect Mr. Burhan to leave so soon


that's." Wanda's face turned sad from hearing the news


the death of the man who once saved his life.


***


At first Wanda was reluctant to give a report on what was


all this time I was done by my husband. But when he heard that there were good people


the innocent became the victim of Wijoyo's bad habits. Wanda finally wants to


reported all the crimes and misdeeds Wijoyo had done to her during this time.


Since the night of the bloody tragedy, Wijoyo had escaped


myself for two days. Yet. In the end, the bad guy finally succeeded


police snatched.


Sometimes many people think that people


that woman is a weak creature. But it turned out to be a big mistake.


In fact, all this time Wanda chose to be silent every time she got bad treatment


from her husband because she still has hope that Wijoyo will change.


It seems like people like Wijoyo are indeed ingrained to have habits


bad like that. Wanda did not report all of Wijoyo's crimes, but rather


she then sued her husband for divorce.


"I think I've had enough of a dutiful wife


to him. The reality is that Wijoyo does not deserve love and loyalty


from me," that remark that came out of Wanda's mouth when she was


officially divorced from Wijoyo.


Wanda chose to go to her hometown together


with Erik. Remember Erik has no one else in this world because


his father died in prison a few months after his divorce from Wanda.


According to the news that I know the man died from a fight


with other prisoners. Wijoyo's house and boarding house were confiscated by loan sharks


because it turns out that depraved humans are in debt because they often lose when


gambled.


I decided to rent a house on the riverbank


it was once occupied by Mr. Burhan. I don't know what to do myself


I do remember the person who had stolen my heart decided to come back


to his hometown.
