Shizuka Steady Chick

Continued Research

On the balcony of the room someone was pensive. He imagined all the events that had happened to him. There is no justice that goes with it. I don't know how long he's been there. Judging from his clothes, it was a shirt he wore when he was expelled from the Unicorn village. He also looks shabby due to sitting and sometimes dragged on the ground. There was also a scratch on his wrist. He never stopped crying considering that he and his family were humiliated. The fear made him not dare to mingle with people, rarely smile, no spirit to live life, and even more sad sometimes he wanted to scream suddenly.

A person who had watched her from the first meeting until now made her anxious. He wants to motivate her. But he is prestigious because he is not used to talking to women he just knew. So he decided to watch her from a distance.

"Naoki! How's things going? Does he want to talk?"

"I don't know Mom! I didn't notice it."

"But you were in his room. Didn't you see it?"

Naoki did not answer.

"Naoki never changed. Always be tired of the situation."

"Aunty, does Brother Shizuka want to talk?"

"Eh Zeexsa's. I don't know. Let's go near him."

They went into Shizuka's room. As Zeexsa approached her sister, she screamed and tried to stay away from Zeexsa. This made Zeexsa even more sad. He tried to calm his brother. But Shizuka kept screaming not to be disturbed.

"Go!" Don't bother me! I'm not taking or seizing your men. Seriously am. I also kept on embroidering. It was all about my own effort and hard work. Please don't hurt me" Shizuka said in a hysterical cry.

Zeexsa was silent and did not know what to do. The incident made her brother change 360 degrees. Even her brother did not recognize her as his sister. He kept seeing his brother out of control. He invited his brother to talk. But Shizuka kept saying things that made Zeexsa even more worried. Her brother's talk continues about the problems in Unicorn village. The matter had filled his brother's mind. Unable to see her, Zeexsa left her brother while holding back her tears.

Naoki's mother followed Zeexsa.

"Your son is patient. Who would treat you like this? Until Shizuka becomes traumatized. Maybe Aunt can help."

"I'm afraid to say it, aunt. The problem will get bigger."

"Don't be afraid. Just tell me son. If you don't tell it, it will be a burden to you and your brother."

"But I'm scared!"

"Auntie will protect you. Naoki's father was the village chief. He is known to be honest, trustworthy, assertive, and fair, son. His father was so kind that there was no difference between people who needed help. We'll guarantee your safety."

Zeexsa also ventured to tell her the problem.

"It's all because of Herlina's mother. He chided my sister and complained to everyone that I and my brother were illegitimate children" Zeexsa said, unable to speak.

"Astaghfirullah why is he like that, son? If you can't talk, you can talk about it when you're ready, son."

"She also accused my mother of seizing her husband and said my sister was a call girl."

His mother Naoki embraced Zeexsa tightly because her cries were so heartbreaking.

"They judge us Aunty. We were scolded, chased out, beaten, humiliated without compassion" Zeexsa sobbed.

"O Allah, how deep are the wounds you receive!" Said Naoki's mother who was also crying.

In other villages there are also those who think of Shizuka and Zeexsa. He was the same as Shizuka at the moment. It's not just his mind that's falling apart. But his appearance was also very chaotic. The breakfast was never touched. He only smoked all day. Spent dozens of packs of cigarettes to refresh his smoky brain as a result of losing Shizuka.

"What about our son's fate? He acts like he used to. Did we take him to a psychiatrist, did we?"

"Alfi is not crazy ma. He's just stressed."

"But it's the same as pa. Mama's taking him to a psychiatrist."

"Assalamu'alaikum sir Kades!"

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Yoman running to the main door.

"You are Naoto" said Yoman, hugging him.

"You're getting handsome!"

"You're so smart to praise."

"That's honest!"

"Alhamdulillah! Let's go in Naoto. Mama Pak Naoto's coming. Please make me drink ma!"

"Wah Mr Naoto! Has not visited in a long time. How's it going sir?" Tanya Mina smiled.

"Alhamdulillah good. Mom, how are you?"

"Thank God as you see I am still given the same health of God."

Yoman and Naoto smiled.

"I went to the kitchen first Mr. Naoto. I made a drink. Must be drinking tea, right? Just one spoon."

"Great your wife Yoman she still remembers my taste," he laughed.

"How not to remember. You are his best friend."

"It's been almost a year that I haven't been here. You guys still stay friendly to me."

"Of course we will not forget you. You are the most popular Village Chief in the entire city and as long as Kades has previously led you are the one who cares about the people. That's why you're so busy. Rarely play here or gather with us."

"Alhamdulillah Yoman. It was God's blessing that gave me a blessing. Oh yes Yoman where is your son? Where's alfi?"

"In the room."

"He's not bored in the room? Is Alfie okay?"

"He even felt in the room. He's upset with Naoto."

"Second love?"

"No," Mina replied carrying two glasses of tea on the tray.

"Why is he upset?"

"He was so frustrated."

"Why frustration?"

"He can't help his friend who's been bullied by locals."

"Bullying? Is there still bullying here Yoman? You let bullying happen without acting?"

"That's Naoto! People here are very selfish. They're discriminating against a woman who doesn't have both parents anymore."

"How did that happen?"

"In Naoto's length, the story" said Yoman did not want to discuss the issue again.

"Where does the woman go now?"

"Eitherway. Last time we parted with him at the train station" Mina replied.

"What a pity that woman. What's name?"

"Shizuka's. He went with his sister Zeexsa."

"May they be okay! Although I think this will be a wound that will continue to imprint in his memory," Naoto said while drinking his tea.

"Haikal. Where are you going?" Ian asked who saw him just out of Faiz's room.

"I'm not allowed to go to Ian's job. Waita! What happened?"

"Nothing's."

"Are you okay?"

"Hey Ian please design the best possible presentation for today. Si Alda has finished the material," said Rona gave a flash.

"Aren't you at Haikal's work?" Tanya Kartika who brings some latest fashion.

"No!" answer Haikal ketus.

"Why?" Ask Kartika again.

"What's wrong with her?" Ian asked Kartika and Rona.

"I had to hire a lawyer to get mom out of jail. But what's the problem so you can go to jail?" Haikal muttered feeling strange.

"It's a wonder since Alfi left here, he has no news. Actually, he's home hasn't he?"

"Dante you still think of that obscure child. Why do you care so much about him?"

"Hello Virgo! You realize you are envious. Alfi is the head of our gang."

"Iri is jealous. But envy I reasoned."

"Yes you want him not to go back to our gang. Aye?"

"Dante don't serve him. You just finish your office job there!

"Oh yes thanks Albar. I almost forgot there was work to be done today."

"I'm so impressed with Dante. Here to be a thug, outside to be an authoritative office worker."

"Amused to be. Just don't have a crush."

"Crazy you Virgo. What do you think I'm gay? Still normal!" Jerky Albar.

In front of Usman's house there were about five mothers gathered. As usual they complain about life getting bitter. There were also some who complained about Shizuka and Zeexsa, and some were sympathetic with Herlina. They gossip seriously. No one saw two policemen heading to Usman's house. The two policemen passed through the mothers. They said their greetings and knocked on Usman's door. Usman answered their greetings.

"Police? Why are the cops here?" Usman.

"We want to meet with Usman. Does he exist?"

"I am Usman."

"Please come to the police station tomorrow. We'd like to request information about the incidents that happened to Shizuka, Zeexsa and Herlina."

"Oh yes sir!" Answer agrees.

"Wait first! Tomorrow my husband can't go to the police station, sir."

"Bundo's? The ndak buli manga? siko ambo hoot!" Usman whispered to his wife.

"Apo munak lupo? Bisuk kito harvest. Atik also want to open the business of dakek kabun tu juo."

"Astaghfirullah ambo lupo."

Usman approached the two policemen.

"How about Mr. Usman? Can you come tomorrow to the police station?"

"Sorry sir. I can't do it tomorrow. How about today, sir?"

"How's Rashid?"

"We agree sir!" Rashid.

The two policemen left with Usman. All the mothers who gossiped just now realized the arrival of the two policemen. They looked curiously. One of them made a new topic. He said Usman would go to jail for helping Herlina. His speech was then interrupted again by mothers dressed in yellow batik. He argued that Usman would lie to save his brother even he would also make the two brothers more lost self-esteem.

"Eh Aliya?" The words of mothers who wear sakura motif negligence give the code to mothers dressed in yellow batik by moving their shoulders on the shoulders of the mothers.

"Isn't that what I said?"

"You better not jump on. Just take away the sins!"

"When were you there, Aliya?"

"Job gossip only. So don't know that I've been here long."

"Sorry to Aliya" said Fadilah.

"I am too" said Wiwit.

"Why are you silent, Serli? You are Nauli too. It's not that your good doain is adding to the story."

"Sorry Aliya's. I just took it."

"Yes the same. I'm also nebak like Serli."

"Whatever. Get out there. I want to sweep the yard of this house," Aliya said up to the cottage and began sweeping.

Everyone rushed off with a embarrassed face.

"Sir, can I meet my mother?"

"Who do you want to meet?"

"Mother Herlina sir!" Haikal answered and saw Usman who had just arrived at the police station.

"Yes, you can meet him. Please follow the mother who is behind you."

Haikal nodded and thanked the policeman. Then he followed the policewoman who had a height comparable to him. Haikal walked while thinking about his uncle who was in the police station.

"That's your mother. You have 15 minutes."

"Good Mom. Thank you." Thank you."

"Haikal? You came here by yourself? I don't see a lawyer" said Herlina glancing around Haikal.

"I'm myself Mom. I'll see the lawyer later, ma'am. God willing, tomorrow I'll be here again with my lawyer."

"Please release mommy, son. I don't want to be in jail."

"Definitely Ma. I'm gonna get Mom out of here. How's mom doing? Don't be afraid, Mom. Food for mom will be delivered by Debi. I was in a hurry here, Mom. I forgot to bring my mother food."

"Mom doesn't need food. I'm getting out of here."

"Mom be patient!"

"Is it better to ask mom now why you're in jail? I'll answer because it can also help me" Haikal muttered, staring at his mother in the bars.

"Mom! I'd like to ask mom. Why did the police catch Mom? They arrested Mom on what charges?"

"O Allah, I just remembered that Haikal knew nothing. Either way he should know because he's gonna hire a lawyer for me."

"Please answer Mom!"

"Police arrested the mother because they thought she was the cause of Shizuka's expulsion from the village."

"What Mom? Shizuka expelled? What happened, Mom? Why was Shizuka expelled?"

"That's because she has desecrated our village by working as a night woman."

"Astaghfirullah can't be Ma'am. Shizuka he's innocent and holy."

"That's the fact. All the villagers also looked with their own eyes. They saw a rich man approaching him by bidding him a price."

"Everyone knows that, ma'am? Why didn't you tell me, Mom? So what does Debi mean at home about dad, what is Mom?"

"Usman honestly answered my question!" said the police in black jackets.

"Good sir!"

"Is Herlina your brother?"

"Yes sir."

"Is it true when in your garden Herlina and Zeexsa argue?"

"Really sir!"

"Why did Zeexsa get there?"

"He rebuked Herlina because her sister was sad because Herlina mocked her brother sir. Zeexsa was upset and kept warning Herlina not to hurt her sister again. Herlina couldn't accept that. He was emotional and told everyone his big secret."

"So he said it because of emotion? How does everyone respond?"

"They were silent first. Then believe Herlina's words. After that they mocked Zeexsa."

"To your answer we have noted."

"Did my answer help sir?"

"Yes. Thanks for the information."

"Sama-sama sir! Is Herlina here too sir?"

"Yes. He's already been arrested."

"Oh Allah why sir? He's not wrong sir. He was just emotional because of his personal problems. That's it, sir."

"Please get out. We'll contact you again when Herlina's trial is scheduled."

"Please release my brother sir. Poor him. He's a victim too sir. She's emotional because her husband cheated on her with her mother Shizuka sir" Usman said.

"Yet my mother didn't answer my question" Haikal said, holding his forehead.

"Yes sir. But you have to find evidence that Ms. Herlina is innocent."

"Proof what else sir. She was just venting her frustration sir because she felt betrayed by her husband."

"Uncle is still there. What are they talking about?"

"His husband had left her for years. He kept thinking about his past when he saw Shizuka sir. Shizuka's mother took her husband with her at that time?"

"Is that really uncle?" Haikal asked doubtfully.

"Grammy?"

"Please get your uncle out of here. He could have us forcibly evicted if we had resisted."

Usman avoided Haikal by walking hurriedly away from him.

"Uncle tell me that what uncle said was a lie."

"Uncle doesn't talk about anything. You heard wrong" said Usman who continued to walk quickly.

"Uncle stops!" Haikal stood before him.

"Uncle can't tell you this. Please don't force uncle."

"I should know uncle too. It concerns my life as well" Haikal said with both hands clasping his uncle's hands.

"But you promise me don't tell your mother that Pan told you about this."

"Good uncle. I pledge. Please explain about uncle's words."

"Your father doesn't love your mother anymore, son. He loves another woman. That's why up until now your father never came back and there's no news."

"I can't believe this. Why did you change uncle? Didn't you love your father very much and pay close attention to him?"

"That's because of another woman, son. He was present between your father and mother. He also has a son with your father."

"Who is uncle? Where are they now? Is my father with them?" Haikal asked with a trembling voice.

"The woman is Shizuka and Zeexsa's mother. They are your father's children" said Usman piba.

"Oh Allah, so I've been around the wrong people all this time. I think mom hates them. I kept this secret to keep me happy. He doesn't want to hurt my feelings."

"Yes son. You stay patient. You also don't tell your mother that uncle has told you all this."

"Uncle where is Shizuka's mother now? Is he having fun with their father and son now?"

"They must be living a quiet life now son of having been together forever."

Haikal's eyes are already glazed. Her tears slowly washed her face. Both of his hands he was clenched as if he was about to punch. He couldn't hold back his burning emotions. He ran to his car with a fiery face. His uncle looked at him confusedly for saying everything to Haikal. But one lie he added to his story.

"I'm sorry uncle Haikal. Uncle lied to you by saying Shizuka was happy to be with her parents. Uncle said that so that you don't side with Shizuka anymore" Usman muttered seeing Haikal's car speeding by.
