Replying to Mother's Heartache

Part 2 Against Dad

"Mom!" called someone and then we both turned to the door.

"Astaghfirulloh Bayu, what happened to your face?" asked Mother running up to my sister named Bayu.

"It's okay, ma'am, it's just juvenile delinquency who rebelled his father. It was only Sinta who was hurt to see Mother treated like that, I as a boy felt like a failure because I did not fight earlier." Answer Dimas who will enter SMK this year.

"Oh my God, you shouldn't have done this. Your face must hurt, here I treat but next time you don't be like this anymore Bayu." Mother advised Bayu while treating a face that is quite a lot of wounds.

"Isshhh.." ringis Bayu when Mom pressed the wet cloth on the wound on her face, it must have hurt. Poor Brother.

"Mom, Sinta wants to ask something to Mom. Why does Dad's family hate Mom so much and Dad doesn't even stand up for Mom?." I finally ventured to ask Mom, even though I had guessed with Mom's answer. But I want to hear it straight from Mom's mouth.

Mom looked me in the eye, like there was a doubt in my heart to tell a story.

"That's because Mom's not from the family. She is also an orphan and comes from the village. That's why your dad's family doesn't like you."

"But why don't you stand up for me seeing you treated like that. As a husband, you have to protect your wife. But Dad?.... Why would you be a husband if you can't protect your wife." I refute in a tinge of emotion. My emotions now seemed to explode as I remembered all their bad treatment of Mom. I was a kid and couldn't fight back, but now I won't stay silent.

"Let's know when your father loved you so much. Even your father was willing to defy his mother to stay married to Mom. But your father has changed since Om Zainal married Aunt Adel. Since then your father's been tempering me for whatever reason, I don't know." Answer Mother.

Brakkk....

"You don't try to brainwash my children by deliberately instilling hatred in me. What kind of mother are you Saripah?." Suddenly the door was kicked hard by Dad.

When I saw Dad's face was so battered, even his eyes were flushed red like they were hit.

What's Dad's face?.

"Mom didn't insult me at all to hate Dad. Dad's behavior that made me and Bayu hate Dad all this time. You think you've set a good example for me and Bayu?." Hardikku to Dad, maybe my neck veins seem to be coming out if you talk to Dad.

"So your tone Sinta. I'm your Dad. So you have to respect me." Father Sergey who was preparing to raise his hand towards me.

"Do you want to slap me?, please slap me!, but if you touch my cheek. I'll make sure you get old and start getting sick. I'll let you die lonely in old age." I threatened you. Hearing that, Dad lowered his hand.

"It's great that you educate your daughter to be a hotshot and your son to be a bouncer. And worse still, your son hit his own father. I'm sorry that I married you, it's true what my mother said, that marrying an uneducated countrywoman would be a disaster." Dad said at length insulting Mom.

"Don't talk to my mom like that!. It may be in the deepest of hearts that the mother who regrets having married a brengs*k man like Dad. A husband who can't protect and take care of his own family." Bayu timpal, even the wound on his face didn't make him in pain when talking half-screaming like that.

Me, Mom and Bayu looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

"Mom, we better get out of here. I think to stay in this house let alone close to Grandma, it's not a good choice, our lives will definitely never calm down." I'm trying to propose to Mom to leave this house and better live a contract together.

"There's one big thing I have to keep, I have to be patient in a minute, all we have to think about now is how we can survive in this house without any gift from your father." My mother answered me with a hearty desire to continue living in this house. I was confused by Mother's words like there was one thing that Mother hid from me and Bayu as well.

"I don't want to stay here if you're still silent about your father and his family. I'd rather stay under the bridge than see Mom being bullied and hurt." I refused the Mothers, let alone me and Bayu having to go to school. So I can't monitor Mom 24 hours full.

"Mom promised for you. Mom will fight Dad and his family. But you promised Mom too. If you have to go to the right school, don't get it because of this problem you are not the focus of the school." said Mother promised us.

"I promise, if I see the progress of Mother bravely against Father and his family, then me and Bayu will be the spirit of school and the spirit of pursuing ideals." I said. Finally the three of us embraced, more precisely me and Bayu who hugged Mom.

"Oh Iyah Bu, Sinta has savings, not much anyway. But like it is enough to be made business capital." said I told Mother.

"Wood also have savings kok Bu to add-on, but what business is it?" asked Bayu to us.

"Geez that's your savings, you better keep it. I also have a little savings from the rest of the money your father gave me." refused Mom refused the money we gave.

"Let's not much too, I don't refuse ya!. This is as proof of our devotion to Mother." My law convinced Mom and in the end, even though there was a little debate, she agreed and used our savings.

Next, Bayu and I went to their respective rooms to take the piggy bank. Then we went back to the middle of the house to see Mom.

"Let's Bayu we break it together to be fun." Bayu agreed and broke the piggy bank together.

Pyarrrrrs
