FREY

" then. .what happened back then, Sani? where'd mom go? "

" they visited me several times in the first year and never came back to this day "

" why is your story so sad .I think life without parents from childhood is miserable but I think there are many things I don't know .. "

" yes lady .. that's it. life is very hard "

I'm not so sleepy . and busy thinking all this time I , even though I don't have parents .. I don't feel their affection but at least I have a grandfather who always gives me whatever I want and I have Arthur who always takes care of me. I feel so shallow. My life is too good . and I'm not grateful for what I've received

" continue your story. Sani .. I want to know what happened to that boy .. what's his name? "

" the boy never came back. I always waited for him under that tree . brought his shoes that I cleaned and cared for every day "

" well ... Where is the child? or is he coming from the city ? so never come back? "

" i .. meet her again miss .. after a long time has passed "

" oh yeah ? how is the story .. "

Sani was silent for a while as I looked up at her who was leaning on my bed .her hand was playing the blanket ..

" if you don't want to tell a story papa kok Sani . "I said gently looking at the sky of my room . I don't want Sani to feel uncomfortable after all

" that day .. I ran away from my adoptive parents' house .. " .. sani stopped telling stories .. Her eyes were blank and strange. . I could not help but listen carefully waiting patiently for the continuation of the story about her

" it rained very hard . I didn't bring anything .. just clothes stuck to the body .. ran and kept running .. I felt tired and cold . running deep into the forest "

" what happened .why did you do that .. ''

" my adoptive parents treated me like their pet at home. I could not continue my education after graduating Junior High because SMu had to spend a lot of money plus the school building is very far away ." he said again

" then? I wonder if Sani .. how bad are they? "

" tell me all about Sani . Let's just say you're my first patient I have to treat "

sani smiled slightly and continued her story

" they .. enslaved me .. I had to make money and deposit it on them. I worked on harvesting rubber, so labor hoardings . whatever I did

. . Until home I have to work as a maid .. cooking, cleaning the house, washing and many other things ."

I reflexively held Sani's hand .. strengthened her to return to the story

" i am still strong enough to withstand all that .. blows for no reason. thrown objects for no reason just to make them happy . I can withstand all that , because it still holds hope that mom and sister will pick me up "

sani stopped telling stories ..

" what made you finally leave? "

long I waited for Sani's answer . My brain was busy speculating whether I was wrong to ask. I felt very guilty

" that man" said Sani.

" who is that guy? "

" adoptive father and adoptive mother tried to sell me to a prostitution place .in the lure of the lure of big pay and monthly fees for them "

" godacha .. "I got up and sat down next to Sani

" i knew from the letter I found while some were in their room . I was not suspicious at first until I heard myself when my mother called .without a second thought I opened the piggy bank under the old wood on the cotton mattress full of lice that I used to sleep with . I went "

" where did you go after that ? "

" without purpose .. kept running until I found a small surau on the edge of the rubber forest . I asked the surau keeper for help . told me everything . and he "

I leaned on Sani's shoulder next to mine .my brain was busy digesting the word Sani .
