Shizuka Steady Chick

Maaf

Naoki sat waiting for his departure to Naose. Her mother and father had reached their home about fifteen minutes ago. Naoki who seemed busy with his affairs as the village chief made him have to spend time in his office. While Shizuka and Zeexsa help Pertiwi cook in the kitchen.

"Shizuka can you help Auntie?"

"By tan. What can I help Auntie?"

"Please buy cooking oil in the front stall of our house," said Pertiwi chopping onions.

"Yes tan."

"You just use Naoki's bike. He put it in the room."

"But Tan I don't dare go into Naoki's room."

"It's okay Shizuka. Naoki's room was not a mess and there was nothing to value there," Pertiwi said, putting the chopped onion into a small bowl.

Shizuka nodded in agreement.

"Tan this vegetable is ripe Tan."

"Matiin just the stove," said Pertiwi while tasting the taste of vegetables.

"The bike is clean. Sweetheart to wear. But Aunt asked me to wear it so I could get to the stall quickly.

"Zeexsa Aunt forgot to tell Shizuka. Please tell Shizuka to buy 1 kg potatoes huh."

"All right tan."

Shizuka took out her bike.

"Sister said Auntie sister also had to buy 1 kg of potatoes."

"Yes Zeexsa."

"How's Naoki's room? Does the room smell like the person?"

"You check it yourself" Shizuka replied.

"Basic brother. Naoki is also handsome. His looks are more than Alfie. He's white, tall, his eyes are round and narrow, his dimples are there, his body is stocky, his nose is sharp, his smile must be beautiful, too" Zeexsa said, imagining Naoki smiling at him.

"It's weird that Zeexsa muji guy overdone. The smell of perfume she remembered. Basic Zeexsa. Naoki is a cute guy. How could Zeexsa talk about it?"

Arriving at the front stall of his hallway, Shizuka heard the sound of a plane. He looked at the horizon. It was suspected that Naoki had departed on the plane. He stared at the plane until it looked like a dot.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Naoki."

The mother smiled and said, "You bought Naoki?" Ask the mother while laughing.

"Naoki's. Uh I mean Naoki's gone, ma'am."

"Yes I know."

"Where do you know? Did you see it from here that Naoki was on that plane?"

"My eyes aren't that sharp, son. Just putting the thread in the pinhole I couldn't" said the mother shaking her head with a smile.

"Yes yes too" Shizuka said shyly.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Fried oil a quarter and potatoes a kg."

"Well, why Cika?"

"Yes, I'm reporting to Ms. Herlina."

"Why did you report it? Were you brothers with Shizuka until you dared to report Herlina. What's your relationship with Shizuka. You've gone too far, Cika."

"Don't scold Cika. He's my grandson. Please don't yell at Usman."

"I did it because Shizuka is a close friend of mine sir."

"Until you dare to fight Herlina? Are you not afraid of the risks? If you want revenge because of your friend, that's not how Cika."

"He didn't take Usman's revenge. You know Shizuka is a good boy. Cika herself knew him for quite a long time. They are as familiar as fellow brothers."

"I know it's grandma. But what Cika did was wrong."

"But now Cika has retracted the report. Herlina was also released."

"Yes I know. But why did you suddenly retract your report?"

"That's because" said Cika frightened and did not continue his words.

"Because of Shizuka?" Guess Usman from Cika's words that have not been resolved.

"Usman you have to hold back, son. Shizuka is very good. Although everyone thought him wrong and humiliated him so cruelly that he was kicked out of his house, he still defended Herlina. That's what sincerity is, son."

"Silent how does grandma mean?"

" He was willing to come all the way to see Cika just to say free Herlina."

"He knows where Herlina is in prison. Didn't he leave far from this village or maybe he's in your house."

"No son. He no longer lives in this village. He found out Herlina was in prison from Alfie. Alfi said it to Shizuka."

"Yes Usman. We also know this when Shizuka, Zeexsa, Pertiwi, Alfi and who Cika names the village chief Momoki?"

"Sir Naoto grandma!"

"So Shizuka lives in Mr. Kades' house from Momoko village."

"Thank God the two children were still alive. They survived because of the kindness of the two noble men."

"Shizuka doesn't hate Ms. Herlina sir. Who asked me to retract the report."

"You should apologize to Shizuka. It's not even bad to think like this," said her grandmother Cika walked slowly to her home.

"I'm sorry sir."

"You're not wrong. I'm the one who should be apologizing for not giving you the chance to talk."

"It's okay sir. I understand your feelings."

"Why did Alfie come here?"

"Oh that, he invited me to help him clean up Shizuka's shop because it would be Alfi's place of business."

"Although he looked lazy. But this time he can act like a businessman," he smiled.

"Where is Shizuka now?"

"He lives with Mr. Kades from Momoki's village sir."

"Well Alhamdulillah! May Shizuka and Zeexsa be happy there. Oh yes if you meet with Shizuka and Zeexsa, please convey my apology yes. Shizuka and Zeexsa don't have cell phones" he said with regret over his treatment.

"Good sir."

"I'll excuse you, Cika. Assalamu'alaikum!"

"Glamma!" Answer Cika.

"Why is your face so pale Haikal?"

Haikal looked at the mother with pity and emotion.

"You sick? Let's go to the hospital now" said Herlina pulling her child's hand gently.

"Stop Ma'am. Don't be pretentious to care about me. Mother is evil" said Haikal, pulling his hand swiftly.

"Why are you yelling at mom? What did you just say, son? Why the bad mother?"

"Mom made dad leave the house. It's all because of mom."

"Why are you saying about your father? Do you see it or do you like this because you want to vent your emotions. You're angry that mom has made Shizuka leave this village?"

"Yes I was angry with my mother. But this isn't because of Shizuka."

"You don't lie to me. You're like this because you can't see Shizuka, right? Shizuka has been living part with your father."

"Silence Mom!" Haikal snapped with his face flushed like fire.

"What is this storm?" Ask Debi.

"You dare yell at Haikal's mother. You've made mom mad so much."

"I'm more angry than Mom."

"Why Mom?" Debi asked her to approach her mother.

"Mother has made me and Debi separated from father. It's because of mom."

Herlina slaps Haikal.

"Did you know? Dad was avoiding me. And now, my mother hates me too."

"What bang? You met dad?"

Herlina's right hand trembled as it slapped Haikal's right cheek. She was shocked to hear Haikal say he met her husband. The husband she missed. He tried to question Haikal about his meeting with his father. But Haikal only looked at him with tears of disappointment.

"I'm sorry, son. Khilaf. I'm sorry for slapping you."

"I'm sorry mom bang," said Debi who also pity to look at her mother.

"Mom knows, I was after Dad until I left my business. I'm willing to be absent to find Mom's father. But what do I get? Dad kept running away from me. I don't know why you're like that, Mom."

Herlina hugged Haikal. They both cried together. Debi also embraced her mother and brother. Herlina was unable to hold back her crying. He tried to calm himself down and went into his room.

In his room he bowed to think of Haikal's words. He felt very guilty because he was the cause of Haikal's father avoiding Haikal. Even until now there was no news of the man he loved. He also regretted his actions that slapped his son.

"Did you see me with Shizuka, Zeexsa and her mother?"

"No. Dad seems to be living alone because he looks so unkempt."

"So you lied, you mean?"

Haikal looked at Debi and nodded as a gesture confirming Debi's guess.
