serapah

Sunday morning I was ready to go for a jog as usual. This morning my lips did not stop smiling. I don't know why all the burdens on my head just disappear.

Tok tok tok tok

The door of the house on tap someone, I don't know who came this early. I lazily opened the door and was surprised when I opened the door. Mom and Sasha were standing there.

"I.mom.." said I stammered.

Without asking them to come in just like that left me a little surprised.

"Slightly your contract, your mother will not feel at home"

"Sasha laper Mom.."

"You're saying you're still standing there, not very polite" my mother said.

I approached my mother and Sasha tried to neutralize a heart that was still beating fast.

"Tumben mom's here.." I said with a smile.

"Why do you not like it?"

"No ma'am..Sarah was just shocked"

"Many ask this brother.I laper tau"repet Sasha.

I went to the kitchen and cooked some water to make tea and two instant noodles. The smile that was on my lips was gone somewhere. What did they do so suddenly just come here.

"Mother here wants to take you home"

"What's wrong, ma'am."tanyaku.

"Mother has received the application for Hajj zaenal, I hope you according to the wishes of the mother"

I glared in disbelief at what Mom said. There was no wind there was no sudden rain mother asked me to marry the man who should be my father or grandfather. I shuddered at him.

Mom slammed the spoon she was holding. The look on his face changed unlike when he first came.

"Who do you think you can refute my words.I gave birth to you, I bet your life for you.However you hurt my heart"

"Mother.try mommy love just one reason what makes you want to marry Sarah to her.."my word is soft.

"Because I'm tired of living hard, I'm tired of living poor." she said in tears.

"Mom...Sarah is working, Sasha is graduating soon. We'll both help the family's economy "my words are hopeful.

"Don't take me with you, you still want to go to college. Not being babu or lackey like sister "sasha said chiming.

My blood was boiling hearing Sasha's words. Why doesn't she defend me at all even she seems to agree with what mom did to me.

"You think your salary is enough for the lives of the three of us..? Instead of you tired of work better you marry Sarah "

"No ma'am..Sarah's sorry, Sarah's totally against "

Plakkkkkk

A loud slap landed on my cheek.The feeling of shock and pain mixed into one. I did not expect that lady to me, to satisfy her own lust, she was willing to hurt my heart.

"Children don't know themselves.I shouldn't have given birth to you, you should have died with your father"

I could only be silent at mother's oath. It hurts so much but it hurts I can't describe it.

"I swear as long as I'm alive, you won't be happy"

Mom stood up and walked out of the house following Sasha behind her. Before coming out of the fence, she turned her body and stared intently at me screaming.

"You ungodly child, you will live alone without anyone beside you"

Sasha spit and took my mother's hand to leave the house. My heart was throbbing pain, tears were flowing more and more. Until I didn't realize someone was stepping into the house.
