Shackles of Suffering

Waiting

Days change days, months change does not feel like 3 months but when there is no news at all, do not go home once a month like his promise, give him no news.

I've asked the same father but his father said it's used to being cooked like that.

" Later also home neng, never one year no news, mh father is not strange again" said mr. dimas

" Yes sir thank you, later if you have news please tell me yes sir" I said sadly

" Yes, neng rosita do not worry later also home the child mah" said the father dimas calmed me

" Yes sir I said go home first, assalamu'alaikum" I said back home

" Wa'alaikumsalam" Mr. dimas answered my greetings with a concerned look.

I also stepped away, I decided not to go home first, I want to remember my thoughts are again muddled.

I finally got to my usual place to hang out.

I sat down daydreaming, where are you no news at all dimas bhatinku, arrived2 someone patted my shoulder from behind.

I was surprised because again daydreaming, I looked back turned out yuli my best friend who was smirking

" Aduuuh yuli you are ngaggetin me doang, my heart is rich to be dislodged know" Shouted I was upset

" Hahaha, you end it is gawking, until I go through you gawgiat, hadehhhh trance what sampe so ros" said yuli while laughing

" I'm upset again yul, dimas already want 3 months no news "I said sad

" Huh basic tuh guys make frustrated children aja people" said yuli

" Before she leaves to say anything you're ros" asked Yuli

" Hadeeehh is an outrageous basis, you are patient ros, maybe there is one thing that makes you can not go home" replied Yuli comforted me, I just swiped my shoulder a sign of ignorance.

" Yuk mending just go home ros, you rest at home" Invite yuli, I nod my head approving yuli's advice.

Finally I came home in between yuli, when I arrived at home I went straight to the room to break down my body that felt tired.

I tried to sleep to forget for a moment the worry of my heart that is not because, after hard work I finally could also sleep.

" Tea woke up at 4 pm now, still not praying ashar will be late" Sounded my sister mella's voice, I squirm with eyes still drowsiness.

" What time is it mel" I asked

" At 4pm tea" replied Mella quickly

" I have not yet prayed ashar" I cried, rushing me to the bathroom for a bath and ablution.

In my prayers I pray that soon I will get news of how he is now, I really worry and question mark what happened to him.

After I finished praying my heart was a little quiet, I gave everything to the almighty.

It's been almost half a year but dimas still no news.

I also busied myself with various activities with my best friend Yuli, just to escape from my anxiety due to the thought of dimas.

The longing I felt was increasingly tormenting me, my body getting thinner because of the thought of dimas who never came home.

My life feels empty, my mind is in a mess either until when I am like this, waiting for the return of the dimas who are not where they are now
