SPIRIT AND DEATH

MOTHER STRENGTH

We went home at 17:00 pm, Mr. Antok was immediately allowed to go home and I went straight into my room and cleaned myself up.

Clean and tidy, I sat on my bed. It was still hard to accept everything but I kept thinking about what my dream meant, my heart whispered I should know.

Suddenly I heard voices calling my name. "Saraahh Saraaah

saraaaahhh .. saaaraaaaaaah ...."

I hadn't heard such voices for a long time, it was just that they were so different, this time they were crunchy and bitter. "Why ?" I said very slowly, my mind also seemed to cry.

I stood up and looked around me. "Si Mbok .. What is Mbok? " i said in tears, there was a very deep longing for the sound, which I could catch.

I came out of my room, mother seemed to be waiting for me at the dinner table. I sat facing my mother. "Where have you been Sarah?" ask mother.

"I went to look at something, ma'am, not anywhere." I didn't finish answering, Mom immediately denounced my words "be a good son Sarah!". I'm looking at Mother who's a little different, Mom's way of talking, Mom's eyes, it's cold.

"Yes ma'am, sorry." Not wanting to fight Mom. "I'm just bored at home, I don't have any friends and activities like Uncle and Bibik."

Mom got out of her chair and stood behind me, whispering to me, "Sometimes there is a great curiosity in us, but sometimes we have to forget, let go, and let Sarah go. "

Mom walked over and sat back in her chair. "Let history remain history, let secrets remain secrets, let's just say it's the best" Mother said in an unusual tone.

Mom's words seemed to tell me that Mom knew something about what I was doing for some time, and I didn't seem to like it. I just ducked, there was fear in my heart when I heard Mom's words.

Mom went to the kitchen, left me alone at my dining table. I thought. .. Maybe I was wrong then I stepped into the kitchen to apologize to my mother once again. "Mother, forgive me. "I said as I bowed.

"Easy .... " By sharpening his favorite meat-cutting knife.

I was standing right next to my mom. "Mother .. forgive me. " But Mom just kept quiet while sharpening her knife.

I knew she was angry, so I decided to leave her alone in the kitchen. I stepped into my room, there was no dinner now, my taste was gone.

I put my body in bed. I thought that after wearing this necklace given by Mbah Anwar, there was no more disturbance that greeted me I should be able to sleep well but in fact I still did not calm down and felt uneasy.

I threw myself down and looked at the ceiling. It was getting late and I was getting sleepy, I closed my eyes and wanted to really sleep tonight.

But. Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok

tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok. I heard the sound of my bedroom door being knocked very loud and fast. It made me wake up in shock, at 11:00 wib.

My heart is not beating because, what is this? ...

I approached the door of my room, but his voice suddenly disappeared.

I leaned against my frightened body on the wall next to my bedroom door.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok

tok tok tok tok tok. The voice appeared again and I lowered my head wanting to peek out of the hole under my bedroom door.

That's someone who wants to get into my room. I'm sure it's a human being not the other one. I can't see his legs clearly but the shadow I can see.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok.

I held the door with my body "Mother, Mother .. Where is Mom?" Then his voice was back to disappear.

For about half an hour I was silent behind my door. I don't hear that loud knock anymore. "Norris ... Sarah ...." I listened well. It was my mother's voice and then I opened my door and hugged Mom, I cried loudly.

"What's up, son?" ask Mom in a worried voice

"I want to be with Mom .... " Then I saw my mother smiling knot.

"Yes dear .." said the mother. Mom took me to the TV room, Mom also got me a glass of water. "Drink Sarah!"

"Thank you, Mom." Mom's face began to calm down and was no longer like that. It seems that Mother is no longer angry with me, I said in my heart.

Mother said things I did not understand, Mother told me about the beautiful flowers, the paper boat, and also the red kite that adorned the sky, I just listened to Mother's babbling.

Mom seemed to enjoy being with me tonight. Wonderful, but I feel all right. But on the other hand, my heart is not calm.

Taaaar

It seems that the vase in the living room fell and broke, Mother came out and took care of it. I saw Mom, Mother often glanced at me and looked at me, the view made me uncomfortable. There was a great sense of discomfort but I don't know why.

I cleaned up the broken flower vase and threw it in the kitchen. From the kitchen I heard my mother yelling." No. .. no.. do not. jangaaaaaaaaan .... "

Quickly, I approached my mother. "Mom, what's wrong, ma'am?" I said to hold back Mom's anxiety and fear.

"That's there Sarah. " Mother's fingers point towards the door to the old barn. I looked in the direction you were pointing at but I didn't see anything.

"There's nothing there, ma'am. " I see Mom's necklace still neatly attached. How could you possibly be disturbed? I murmured in my heart.

I grabbed Mom's body and took her to her room to rest. Mom held me tight. Upon arrival in the room I wanted to leave Mom to finish and clean up the broken vase. But Mom held me, "No need ... stay here with Mom son!" I also accepted my mother's request.

Mother spread her body and lay on her back to me, mother's clothes were slightly revealed, it invited me to see the birthmark on Mom's waist.

My fingers are slightly up my shirt but, "Sarah, get me a blanket for mom!" my mother seemed to know what I wanted to do.

"Yes, Mom ...." I undo my intentions and take the blanket and close it to the limit of Mom's neck.

Mother turned her body looking at me with a smile. "Thank you Sarah ...

Lie down and sleep by my mother's side." And I also obey Mother's words.

At 00.15 wib. Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok

saraah saraahh ...." It was Dad's voice, it seemed Dad was very angry.

"That's your father Sarah, seems very angry" said Mother.

"Yes ma'am, let me open the door." But Mom's face looked tense and it seemed like Mom was very scared.

"Don't kid .. Don't .... "

"Why Ma'am?" I wonder

"Your father looks angry, and he should be home tomorrow, right, son?"

"Yes, yes Ma'am .... "

"There must have been something until he got home early in a state of anger. Maybe the project failed Sarah." Then suddenly Mom cried and her body trembled.

"Why are you crying ?" many confused.

"Mother is afraid, your father will be angry and berserk, son .... "

"I don't understand Mom. "

"You stay here Sarah, lock the door tight. Whatever you hear, whatever happens, don't get out of the room unless you ask, okay?"

"yes .... "

Mother went out of the room, I immediately locked the door of the mother's room according to mother's request. Then I brought my ear closer and put it on the door, just wanting to hear what was going on.

"Dad's gone home ?" ask Mother.

"You .... Where's Sarah ?" said dad stiff.

"There's in our room" replied Mom briefly.

There were footsteps, seemingly heading to the room where I was standing. Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok. "Norris ... Sarah...." Dad's voice was very strong and loud with a strong knock on the door.

"What's up, huh? don't bother Sarah." said Mother in a slow voice.

"Take me off, let go! " Daddy's voice snapped at Mom.

"Sarah .. open the door, son!" said Father.

tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok.

"It's already, it's already .... " Mom is like throwing out my hand.

"Silence ... silence you ... !"

Braaa

I was like hearing the sound of a heavy item or something falling, then the sound of Mom crying quite loudly like her Dad had pushed Mom so hard that Mom fell on the floor.

"Norris ... Sarah ... Sarah... open the door, son!" dad said but I held the door with my body. I could listen to what was going on outside and understand a little about the situation. Dad kept scolding Mom, Dad like everyone else, like a person in shock or depression.

It wasn't enough to get there, I listened like a slap. Mother was crying louder, "It is well ... no more .... " said Mother with a loud voice.

Get out of here, it's none of your business! ... Dad looks so cruel. Moments later, Dad's voice disappeared, but Mom's voice and the sound of punch after punch I could hear.

What happened to dad? I immediately imagined Dad's attitude that looked fickle as well as the sedatives I found in the bag, in the room, and in the workroom.

Maybe you're suffering from severe depression, but what do you want me to do? It seems like dad really wants to meet me and do something about me. I felt my tears not only because of my fear but also because of my father's attitude. Do you want to hurt me? My inner.

Tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok tok

"Norris ... Sarah ... This is Mother son .. open the door Sarah. "

It was Mom's voice, I opened the door and I was very surprised to see a mother full of wounds and blood on her face and arms.

"I - Mom, ibuuuuu. " said I look while hugging Mom. Then swiftly, Mother immediately locked the door of her room.

"Yes son .. calm down. " said Mother, holding me tight, Mom and I cried and hugged each other.

I don't hear Dad's voice outside, I don't know where you are. "Sarah.. mom pushed dad to fall in the kitchen, it's time we get out of here .. Come on Sarah! "

I cried in fear and constantly looked at my mother's scarred face. "Come Sarah .. before it's too late! "

We came out of the room and ran towards the exit, but it turned out that Dad was waiting for us at the exit. Mother pulled back my hand and we ran towards the kitchen towards the old barn. "Norris ... Sarah.... " My voice calls me boisterously.

We peeked at Dad's footsteps, I was trembling ... Dad brought a long iron and searched for us. Mom says I'm staying here (behind the well), "Don't come out, son." said Mom.

Mother moved towards Father, from the shadow recorded on the wall, I saw Mother trying to take the long iron from Father's hand.

Many times I hit but Mom kept getting up and fighting Dad. Mom's occasional punch of Dad. I couldn't bear to look at it and I closed my eyes, unable to see the quarrel between the two, my dear old man.
