Shackled Two Flavors

Tidings

"Ekhmmm...dad what is it?, why is it so quiet, it feels like something is hidden from me" I said with a probing look and wrinkled both eyebrows.

Mother and father looked at each other and then they continued to eat food without answering my words, I was more curious plus annoyed because as if my words were not touched by both of them, so bad I stopped eating and just left from before them, but I had not gone far father had called me, made my step stop and turned to look at him.

"Talita returns to the dining table" said the father in a firm tone of voice,

I came back feeling very upset and I tried to ask them again what they were hiding from me.

" Father ap.." I said stifled,

I haven't had time to finish what I said Dad just cut.

"Silent Talita quickly finished your breakfast after that and then I will tell you an important news" said the father gave the order,

because the one who spoke was Dad, I could not protest and do anything else but obey his words, I chewed back the food I had wanted to leave, with an unbecoming feeling I forced to eat food without saying much more.

After a while after I finished eating, my father looked at me fixedly, a gaze I had never seen before.

"What is it dad's look?, why is he looking at me that sharp, did I make a mistake, that made Dad upset with me?" I said spontaneously,

I don't know where the courage came from that I could speak out without hesitation in front of my parents, maybe because I was so curious, that it just came out of my mouth.

I looked at my mother for a moment and then looked back at me.

"Talita listen well to your father's words and don't protest before you finish the conversation, do you understand?" said Dad with a serious look at me.

My heart became more and more unsettled after Dad started talking like that, this is not the father I used to know, I really felt anxious about the news you were going to talk about, plus arrived mother looked down like she was storing sadness, her face that looks fierce earlier when waking me up asleep has now changed with a pseudo face that holds sadness, that morning I was really made scared.

"Talita dad will send you to your mother's hometown" said the father seriously while holding my right hand.

I pensively percolated for a moment the words my father meant.

"Dad are you kidding me?, how could I go to school there, have not grandma and grandpa left us for a long time?, we have not been there for a long time, either, there is no one Lita knows there, let alone no brother friend no father" I said in disbelief.

At that time I was still thinking maybe my father just scared my son so I wanted to follow his desire to continue his education in one of the private schools that my father remondasikan last time, but it turns out I was wrong, I was wrong, my face became more serious and my mother held my hand with her face.

"Mother is indeed heavy for Lita, but Lita also does not want to be a burden for father and mother, if it is the best choice, Lita is sincere and will follow the wishes of father and mother" I said with the pain.

Although sick and still feeling unexpected but I keep trying sincerely in front of my parents, I was confused on the other hand I didn't want to disappoint or hurt them but I also couldn't do or decide on things I didn't want like this, how else now I can only accept that there is no other choice, after all I have agreed to all that to my parents, after hearing my answer both my parents smiled and my mother hugged me while gently stroking my head.

"Thank you Lita, I love you so much, and I'm sorry for not being able to follow what you want" she said, rubbing my head gently.

"What's wrong mom, Lita doesn't matter, then when are we going to move to the village?" I'm curious, though,

"we plan to take you to the village later in the afternoon, because tomorrow is the time for your school registration" said the mother with an enthusiastic face,

"mom isn't that sudden, and why are you just telling me this time?" I said that I didn't feel ready,

"Lita if it's not today, then when will you start tomorrow, you'll have to work again, because you're not working, and you'll have to go back to school, right?" mother explained.

I looked down at the sign of resignation with everyone and then I went to the room without a word, I sat by the bed that I had used as a bed for many years, now I have to go to a place far from home, a place that I haven't even been to for a long time, no family, relatives or people I know there, I lay down my body and looked at the sky of the room with a blank look, all I had to do was undergo, I could not make a revolt in this kind of situation, she said, I also can't blame the fate of everything already outlined, I can only surrender.

Tired of thinking about what would happen to me there later, I fell asleep until my mother woke me up and told me to take a bath, I followed her and immediately prepared for the departure to the village, at first glance I can still see the face of the mother who seems to hold the sadness, whether it is sad because it will be pidah or other things I do not know.

When everything was ready to arrive, I just thought about why there was only one suitcase of mine in front of the terrace of the house that was ready to be put in a taxi.

"Mother's dad, why are there only my suitcases, suitcases and your belongings where?" I said astonished,

"The girl who wants to move is you're not a father or a mother, so of course there's only your suitcase" said the father, holding my shoulder.

"Dad did you guys deliberately send me to the village because I made a mistake, did you punish me?" ask me to investigate,

"no one punishes you Talita, I didn't explain it to you this morning, there's no other reason than that" said the father with a serious face,

"so am I going to be alone in a village that doesn't exist?, enrolling in my own school, living alone, like that?" I said withholding the cry.

"iya Talita I'm sorry for not being able to take you there, I have to find another job so you don't stay there for long, your mother also has a job interview so can't take you" said father with a gloomy face.

Again I could only take a deep breath and throw it away slowly, holding back the emotions whether I should be angry or sad at the moment, before I thought they were just joking, he said, I thought we were going to go together so we didn't take me either.
