Father's marriage

I'm ready to go to Dad's wedding. And I already said that I asked permission directly with the homeroom teacher. I was just there for a while, I remember today I had an appointment with my sisters. Dad deliberately told the driver to pick me up. I should have brought a car.

I could only stare at the road that showed trees moving further and further away. It brings all the hurt and disappointment. Having two fathers and mothers at once, funny huh. In fact, having one father and one mother I have never had the affection of a child. And now it's growing, things are even staying the same. And they're getting busy taking care of their new home. Moreover, mother, she very much looks happier. I have seen his posts on his social media accounts many times. Photos of them vacationing with her husband and stepson. I should have been in that position, I swear I never felt it.

"Miss has arrived." I've been daydreaming, I've arrived and I don't know. The driver opened the door for me, I came down with my usual appearance. I had planned, what would father's reaction be.

"Welcome, miss." They looked polite, the servants at my father's house. Not just one two people, but up to dozens with their various parts each. You can imagine how big my father's house is and how rich my father is.

"Which father?" I asked as I walked in.

"Master is inside miss. Let me take you." I nodded again, there should be no need. I'm his son, why like a stranger who must be in between facing his host.

"Sir, there's Miss Nara coming." He lowered his body politely.

"Go." Dad asked the waiter to leave with his hands. How to gently repel.

"Nara?" I'm sitting down now. On my dad's couch.

"You didn't bring a change of clothes?" I looked at my current appearance and smiled inwardly.

"Why is it, huh?" I pretend I don't know. Because I came in wearing only jeans and a white T-shirt. Don't forget the little sling bag I brought.

"You want to embarrass Dad? Soon Auntie's family will be coming."

"Why indeed?" I asked again. Dad's red face held back emotions. I hope he gets angry and drives me out now. So that I don't take the trouble to watch the trinkets.

"Servant!" Dad shouted. Someone comes straight in.

"Please prepare appropriate clothes for my daughter." He nodded and left. I waited for my father's next reaction.

"You really want to humiliate dad with this kind of appearance? Nara, you have to accept it too. Your mother was married. And you have to do that too, so that someone takes care of you!"

"Why should? Aren't the servants enough to take care of dad!" Dad immediately stood up from his seat, pointing at my face with one of his fingers.

"You don't understand Kinara!" Dad raised his voice. I stood up too, facing him.

"Dad! I'm an adult now. Stop assuming I don't know anything. Stop thinking of me as a stupid little boy! And stop thinking of me who doesn't know this! I know, yeah, I know! That's not my goal to get married. But because I was ashamed of my mother, she was already married while I was not. What exactly is it that got you married? Ha's? What's yah? And finally have a child, which is me well!"

I pointed at myself, tears were already flowing profusely without giving Jeddah to stop. My breath was congested, I had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Their marriage, that's all. Why can it happen.

"Because I know, you never loved each other! As long as you know, I regret being born into this world. Regret having parents like you." I glanced towards the corner of the room, where there was a servant who brought clothes for me. He even kept his head down, not daring to look at me.

"I don't want to wear any other clothes. This is a form of living alone. Only accompanied by money that you always give. Dead things that can only move buy something. Not the happiness of a child. Excuse me, honorable lord Husein!" I hit Dad on the shoulder and walked out. Whatever? They always say that too. I smiled at the waiter at my dad's house. Though tears still remain in my eyes.

"Miss, sorry you're not allowed to go home." Two well-built people wearing compact black clothes. Holding both arms, I would be kidnapped if treated like this outside the house. What the fuck!

"Done or I'll scream." They look at each other and smile. I forgot, I wanted to scream how no one would listen. To enter the father's house even though riding a vehicle, if walking will faint because of the distance.

I'm sure it's Dad's man! That man, same with mom. You know, they'll stay the same forever. Never thought of my wishes.

"Is it hard to change clothes?" I don't want to look, I know who's talking.

"Take him off." Both of my hands instantly slipped off upon hearing their master's voice.

"On one condition!" I have to do this again.

"Say." He replied, we talked to each other without a look. I'm in my standing position, and so is dad.

"Tell one of my father's drivers to get my car. Because I don't want to go home in between. I also have a need after this." Okay, so dad answered. And I heard him call the driver to take my car.

If he's a good parent, be attentive with his child. I'm sure you'll ask where I'm going? Go with who? But not right? Even though I'd say he'd go to a club later, maybe he wouldn't ban it either. The important thing for him is that his trinkets can run smoothly and there are no obstacles, that's all. I'm sure you forced me to stay here because I wanted to find a good name. First with a business colleague and second with the family of his future wife, and the third. Dad would show off with mom if on his wedding day he could persuade me to come here. While mom can't invite me to attend on her wedding day. Why would I make such an option? Because I already know and understand the nature of my parents. Although we were not close, but from seeing them every emotion. Everyone has a desire that must be fulfilled.

I've changed clothes, and put on makeup which was polished by one of my maids at my father's house. Her hands have art, so it makes me look really pretty today. Okay, because the conditions have been fulfilled by my father I will obey him even if only for the next few hours.

I walked towards the altar in my father's backyard. Honestly, I just looked at this in amazement. Father's marriage is not like the second, but even like a young man who is having a marriage. I have goosebumps and amused, not imagining that right now I should get married. Those who were already present all looked at me who was walking and slightly slashed the white dress that was wrapped right in my body.

"Is she his bride-to-be? Very young, lucky that Hussein got it."

"It's so pretty." I clearly heard them talking. But when I hear the sound of footsteps coming from behind me, it is not just me who is looking. But everyone present also stared at them.

The two brides who were about to get married walked while holding hands. Smile here and there. The bride's face was covered with a thin net, but it remained visible all over her face. I paused for a moment, swept away to look at my parents at this moment. The dashing and handsome looking father wore a white suit, and there was a small ribbon in the middle. They just passed me by, didn't he even greet me? Is it true that he didn't see me standing this big.

I can only follow in his footsteps, somewhere I will be. Most importantly, I was present.

The promise of marriage began to say, I sat among the people. More precisely my father's family. My om he always wanted to see me, it's just that the different state of the house the city made us unable to see each other. In fact, I really wanted to be close to him as a substitute for a father. His kids are good with me too.

I only have one brother and one sister. However, they lived each different city. There was no time for me to complain to them. For me, my journey. Even they do not know that at this time I actually live not at home father or mother.

They are legal to be a husband and wife, when the father kissed his new wife's forehead I immediately turned my face. I swear, I don't want to see it.

"Nara, she's your new mother. Think of her as your own mother." Om stroked the top of my head. I just smiled wryly. If I have to treat like a mother, and that's my own mother. Yeah, well, I have to be non-concerned with her. Because that's what I always do with my mom.

"He's my son, Kinara Adnan Husein. Come on, come here." I round my eyes, and then look at me. He nodded, which meant I had to stand near Dad right now. Dad what the hell. Why invite me to come with him. I'm also a fool, why not listen to what you're talking about! I kept grumbling until I got right in front of my dad.

"We're taking pictures, son." I smiled at a glance. A big round of applause, but no show.

"It turns out it was Husein's son. It's just beautiful."

"Yes-yes. I couldn't even recognize his face that looked so much like his father."

The grumbling was still heard, they pointed at me who was standing in the claw by these two brides. I let my eyes out. I'm looking, where's Aunt Intan's son? Do they not want to be here either? Ah but it's nicer, so I don't have to adjust when there are them.

"Once again." I put a fake smile on here, even if it's only a few seconds and it will last for decades. Even if it is put on display, my smile will not disappear. It stuck in every eye of the person who saw it. Printed as a neatly arranged photo later.

"You want to go?" I'm nodding. Dad gave me permission. He was satisfied, I took a picture with him. After all, there were already many reporters coming. They will also be busy.

"North." I turned to hear a soft voice that did not come from my father. My face is expressionless.

"Thank you already present. Play at your father's house often." I didn't answer, just shut up and left. Hey you stranger, why would you set me up?

I walked in a hurry, looking for my car in my father's yard. This hot afternoon was very hot, making me also not want to linger outside the car. I immediately gasped and honked the horn many times to get the gate open. Those who greeted me politely and said carefully. I just nodded and smiled.

The first place where pizza is sold. Geez, I hope my sisters don't wait for me too long.

I went inside to order. But all the eyes were on me. They whispered and laughed at me. Why anyway? Likewise with the cashier, when I pay at once order. He smiled as if he was holding back a laugh.

"Sister, what's running away from marriage?" Ha's? I immediately stared at my current appearance, it's true that I haven't changed clothes yet! Oh my God, why can I forget that.

"Hehe, no mbak. I was at my father's wedding." Oops, I shut up, dad? Why do I call it, makes me even more embarrassed. Moreover, I say it like there is a pride of its own, but it is not that. I just saved myself from embarrassment.

I sat back in the waiting chair after the cashier said wait 15 minutes. I can just go down and play the phone.

All right, I gotta stay calm. Trying to calm down, even though everyone is looking at me. Until my name was called, I breathed a sigh of relief. I immediately left with 5 boxes of pizza and drinks.

I got to the alley, deserted. It seems like they are really waiting for me and not doing any activities. I smiled when I found them sitting under a tree with sweat pouring out. They're done what? When I honked the car horn they also did not welcome me as enthusiastically as usual. Closer to the car and wait to open the door. They just sit with their faces slashed.

"Hey, brother's coming. Look, what's that brother carrying." They smiled wryly, their faces pale. They why? Didn't I give them money to eat last night?

"You're not happy brother's coming?" One of them stood up, then pulled my hand to sit down immediately.

"We're sure big brother will come. Come by keeping the promise. But we haven't eaten because the money you gave last night was taken by a bad boy." Whahuh? I also sat down, hugging them. I rubbed his head.

"How can you?" Lirihku asked.

"Last night someone came by while we were sleeping. Maybe they saw money lying next to us. Then I took it, I got up. But they even threatened to kill if we dared to rebel. My eyes heat up instantly, my tears fall. I immediately deleted it, I swear my body was squeezed. They haven't eaten since morning.

And they also listened to my words last night, which asked them not to make money for a day, busking and such.

"Yes, you guys eat this yeah." I opened the pizza box. They scramble to take, I smile. I want to know about this pizza. I remember the old days.

"She, can you take this pizza out of my hand?" My body that was taller than her made it difficult for her to take.

Iam kept chasing me. He didn't make it and fell down. I panicked, looking at her bleeding lips.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to"

"Yes, I can." He even jumped up in excitement without caring for his bloody lips. I took a slice of pizza out of my hand. Who bought me intentionally because they were coming.

"Paam! You cheated!" He ran and I chased him. But when the voice called out his name, we immediately stopped. His parents said they would be home soon. The thing I hate so much, I feel lonely again. I could only stand looking at his car that was getting away from my yard. Since then, I have never seen him again. Never once was.

I asked my mom and dad, but they only answered that their family had moved out of town. Because of his family business there.

"The pizza sack is delicious." I turned to him, throwing away all the daydreams about my childhood.

"You like it?" They nodded enthusiastically. Geez seeing them smile alone can make me touched and happy. Just give me a small part of what I have.

Seeing the clock running, I decided to go home. I think my body is already sultry. And don't forget to leave money for them. But tell me how to keep it. To no longer be taken by others.

When I got out of the alley. I entered the highway, my car was smelly. So I went downstairs to see the state of my car tires. And it turns out, deflated. Geez, where I can't change a car tire. I looked at the clock in my hand. It's 4 in the afternoon. Where I am I should prepare to go later tonight.

I can only scratch my head, I have to contact who now. Did I just leave the car and go back to the apartment?

"Nara, what are you doing?" I immediately searched for the source of the sound. There was a car approaching me. I walked to see, it was Adam. Geez, I immediately gave thanks. There will finally be reinforcements. If this is the case, I won't call my friends. I don't want to trouble them either. But if this is not intentionally met.

"Hey, Dam. My car's leaking tires like it." Adam opened the door and got off.

"Contact the mechanic. I have the number, you can come home with me. Later when it's done can also ask those who deliver."

"Yes already." Adam called someone, I waited for him to sit in his car. Even though it is late afternoon the sun still gives its best light.

"Have Dam?" He nodded and got into the car.

"Where are you from?" I asked, then my eyes caught a piece of paper, I picked it up. Reading the contents of the letter, such fad has no job.

"Who's check-up letter?" Adam turned his head and suddenly braked his car suddenly.

"This is my mother's." He took it from my hand. And coming to read it, I just nodded and did not want to ask again.

When we arrived, I asked Adam to go straight home. And remind you not to forget the event later tonight. As soon as I got inside, the stuff I was looking for was in the closet. Lighters and cigarettes.

I've undressed, and only used hotpants and tangtops. As usual, sit by the window. There is already a special sofa that I myself shifted it here. Raise one leg, and continue to emit smoke from cigarettes. Uh, I've also tried using vape before. But I coughed, which meant I couldn't. In fact, if I wanted to. I can buy one dozen at a time. Haha, I am arrogant huh, whereas it is also money from dad.

One cigarette was gone, I switched to the wardrobe. To find out which clothes I'll wear tonight. I've all worn it when I entered the club'. There was only one outfit hanging. Black color that opens on the neck. Fits my body, I pick it up and put it on the bed.

Looking again, there is still time. The atmosphere is still bright outside. So, I took one cigarette back and took another.

Just wait for the time I'll take a shower, and get ready to go. Because I'm the one who's gonna be bidding for the place we're gonna be tonight. Not once or twice I do this, even often. I'm not afraid until mom or dad knows. Yes, I'm not afraid. Wh why? They won't care either.

One night I met my dad's friend, he didn't recognize me. But I recognized him. And foolishly he seduced me. I feel disgusted and want to vomit, men do not know the age. It scared me more that I would get married. What if all men were the same? Until I said I was Hussein's son. He threatened to complain to my father. But the proof is, until now I still feel safe.

If it's true that he's been complaining, it means that you don't care about my life or death. Even if I asked Dad not to bother me, he would. But the thing is, I still need a lot of money. That's why I haven't worked and will continue my studies. There's no way I have the money to keep up with the demands of life. Not to mention my sisters on the streets. I still want to be with them.

Hah, the grafting is easy I sit down. Not felt, it was getting dark. I rushed straight into the bathroom. I also finished a few cigarettes. I just left his puntun and his ashes. Don't ask me again how my apartment is. It's as if it doesn't have inhabitants.

Seriate...
