Shizuka Steady Chick

Drizzling

"Mom hates her so much. Even if I said all the positive sides or advantages, it was still impossible for my mother to be nice to her. She is a simple woman and does not talk much. I also saw that she was a woman with principles. That's why I chose him to be a co-worker. As long as I think about him I don't see a hint of a vile gap in him. Different from my mother. It was as if the kindness to Shizuka was invisible. More dominant in its ugliness. Why are my mother and I different? Why can you judge Shizuka in such a hurry? I should approach and be gentle when I want to see Shizuka so that the mood of the mother who does not like it can be controlled. What do I do to get Shizuka to be my friend?" Haikal.

"What do you think, son? You seem to think long. Are you thinking about Shizuka?" Ask his mother who was tidying up the books on Haikal's bed.

"Oh mother! No Ma'am. Let me tidy up the books, ma'am. I still need the book. I'll make it up for myself, ma'am."

"If you think about it, then you still want to meet him huh?" his mother said to sit in bed.

"I'm sorry Mom! Shizuka's a good person, ma'am. But why don't you like it?"

"Your son don't think about it anymore. Especially having a relationship with him. Yes, I want to prepare breakfast first. Come down for breakfast."

Haikal. He cannot eliminate his confusion. I don't know what's the first problem he has to solve. His entire head about that complicated matter made him nauseous.

"Excuse me bang! I accidentally heard Brother's chat with mom earlier. Is it true that you care about Shizuka?"

"Why are you calling her name? He is a year older than you. Call him brother."

"Well right! My brother cares about him. All this time I thought Brother was good to him because of a humanitarian attitude. There was another feeling. Come on bang! Brother likes her?"

"Don't talk too much. You better get out there help mommy get ready for breakfast. Don't be pussy about brother's business."

"Yes. But my advice was bang" Debi said, stalled because Haikal pushed him out of the room.

"Sorry! Brother wants to do office duties first," said Haikal guilty.

"This is definitely true. My brother likes Shizuka. That village woman. I'm not sitting close to my brother" said Debi exasperated.

...****************...

Everyone just kept judging as they pleased. No matter the feelings or self-esteem of the person they scorn. As long as the hate speech has been issued, then they are more happy. Sometimes even by saying harsh words and despicable does not necessarily make them satisfied. They also try to make the people they scorn become lips in their environment. So that no one will be familiar with it in socializing. That's what Shizuka is going through. The endless conflict ravaged his body. Because of the many tests of life, he is increasingly agile in finding the rupiah coffers. Not wanting to run away from conflict, not also resigned to the circumstances, nor because of fear. He did it because he thought increasingly arguing with people would make him enter a world full of ego or revenge. So he decided to seek the truth, fight, and prove himself to be able to rise up without having to despair. As a result of his decision, Zeexsa further motivated his brother. He also made his brother as an inspiration to be able to develop in the same career as his brother.

"I'm proud of my sister. You can get through everything patiently and try. I promise you, I'll find out who spread this hoax information."

"Haikal's mother cursed Zee's sister yesterday. He said the same as Kartika said."

"God is so outrageous. Must be a silent brother? I'm sure you didn't fight because you didn't like to argue or fight. Especially the same old man."

"Yes Zee. But I am also sad in my heart. Why do they humiliate me?"

"I'll come to Debi's house" murmured Zee as she calmed her brother.

The next day, Zeexsa crashes her mother Haikal and Debi. He met her in Usman's garden. Neighbor near Herlina's house. There Herlina was watering and cleaning tomatoes and corn that had been bearing fruit. Without thinking for a long time, Zeexsa spoke to the ceplas-ceplos. Some people near them stared in wonder. Zeexsa paid no heed to the situation back then because her goal was just to convey her anger.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am! Why did you humiliate my sister in her shop?"

"You're here to return my words to your brother? You are the same," said Herlina, pulling out the decaying leaves.

"What is this Herlina? You're fighting with Zeexsa?" Tanya Gudila brought a bushel.

"I didn't just warn my mom. Please remember my brother is a good person. Don't bother her anymore or hurt her feelings" Zeexsa said.

"Easy! You talk too much. Your brother deserves to be treated that way. She's too flirtatious with my son and smart-ass."

"Astaghfirullah was ashamed to know Herlina. You fight the same kids. Try to think! The people across there (pointing to the hut) and it was Usman also staring at you guys from earlier. Although Usman is your brother, but he is also ashamed of your attitude."

Herlina paid no heed to Gudila's words.

"You must remember my words. Listen carefully and say this to your sister!"

"What did mom say? There is no right mother's word. It's all just mother's stuff. Aye right? Please act like a mother's age and act like a human being who has a humanitarian attitude" Zeexsa said.

"You all listen! Zeexsa and Shizuka are illegitimate children. Neither of them was recognized by his father. You don't know who their father is? Why is his mother in prison? You don't know what his son Shizuka did outside the house? All our daughters work at home and the rich girls work in the city. What about them?" said Herlina sneering at Zeexsa.

Zeexsa ran after Herlina who went to the cottage and said, "You made up the story again? How much conflict will you spread in ruining our good name? By saying those trashy words I will cry? nay! I was moved because you were desperately defaming us. Everyone knows we are from a good family. My father and mother are also very beautiful."

"Stop Herlina! You've gone too far!" Usman approached him.

"I'm telling you honestly."

"Eh Zeexsa! I know your family's origins. I was your mother's best friend. But since the rot spread, I can no longer join your mother. Herlina was honest. Just try you didn't come so haughtily here, definitely not like this. Your actions do not reflect you are a good person either. You're still a snot kid. You little rancid boy," said Tifa.

"Yes, I know your mother. He is very good. But he came to this village only with the two of you without a man or a companion" said Wulansih.

"Don't survive, her mother also likes to be familiar with married men" said Melva.

"Remember me, she used to date her mother. I love to seduce rich men" said Herlina.

"Shut up all of you! You all lied. My mother is not like that" cried Zeexsa in tears.

"Does he still deny you? If this is a lie, where is your father? Where's dad? Tell your father to come see you. Hurry up and call your father! Shouted Herlina with a fiery face.

"You'd better go home Zeexsa!" Pinta Usman gently.

"You're patient, son!" Madam's words took her away from Herlina.

"Based on the village boy, shameless, how dare you come here huh!" Herlina throws corn at Zeexsa.

Herlina's throw is too short. Zeexsa's gone a long way with Gudila. While Herlina was still nagging incessantly. Usman asked him to calm down and go home. But Herlina still grumbled. Other mothers also spoke ill of Zeexsa and her family.

The drizzle began to approach. Everyone who swarmed Herlina ran for shelter. Herlina was still burning with anger. She hated Shizuka and her family. Even his mother's shadow can't be forgotten. He did not realize that everyone in the garden had gone home. For hours he stood by the garden. He didn't come home either. His whole body was soaked. The ground was also very muddy due to the heavy rain which was almost four hours.

"Shizuka and Zeexsa! I'll embarrass you guys. You will be so ashamed that you do not dare to show your face to everyone" he said by gripping each of his palms.
