The Best Shera's
CHAPTER 2 If Uncle Knows
If only tears could bring back all that is mine then I would cry at any moment for all to come back.
Today uncle will return to this house, uncle who is the younger brother of my late father, who works as a naval soldier he comes home every 6 months. Whatever happened in this house, my uncle never knew that Aunt and her three children were very kind to me, but in reality it was not like that.
My aunt and her three children never treated me like a niece and their cousins always treated me badly. Every day I have to get up at 4 am to wash up, cooking and cleaning the house before going to school plus breakfast I never get because I only allowed to eat at dinner. Snack money? I was only given a pocket money of 5 thousand rupiah every day but if I make a mistake then be prepared will not get pocket money. I really didn't, but Hadi was the one who strengthened me.
"Shera......Shere......Shera.." that loud voice I was very familiar with, I rushed towards the living room. My guess in my heart is right
" Uncle, how's uncle doing?" I'm really glad uncle came home at least they weren't so rude to me. I kissed uncle's hand
"You're healthy, son, you're okay, right?" uncle's smile remembers me with the deceased.
"Alhamdulillah uncle Shera is healthy and fine "honestly I am not good but it is
"Dad we'll buy some clothes! my clothes are ugly, huh.." anggi hugged his father spoiled.
Anggi was the son of his first uncle
"Issssss's sister's tired of being asked for anything2" Della pulled her brother from the arms of the father.
Della's second daughter Pamah has a mature mind and Rendy's youngest is the same age as me. Rendy doesn't care about anything she knows playing games that bosen will lure Auntie to scold me.
Every time uncle comes home wanting me to tell him how incapable I am with the stiffness of Aunt and her son but I can't help it I don't want uncle to fight with Auntie. I'm sure it's just a matter of time and circumstance.

Dear Uncle
I'm grateful for the generosity of my uncle and Aunt to be able to accept me here, but there are many things that uncle doesn't know about. Every day Aunt would find my fault so that I did not feel at home in this house not to mention I have to accept the rough treatment of Aunt and uncle's children I kept quiet because I knew I was just hitchhiking here. Uncle knows not? I miss my family very much, if my family were alive I wouldn't be here but God says my father and mother died in a traffic accident while going to see my brother's body in the Army hospital Landline. On that day 3 people I love left me for eternity and until I am here I am even a maid in my own uncle's house? No, this honest uncle is not uncle's fault, it's just that I'm complaining too much about my situation. Thank you my uncle, Aunt and my three cousins, that my bitter days may soon pass.

I looked at the family photo of uncle is very happy they are just like me, Aunt wearing her Persit clothes while her three children wear army clothes, Uncle! of course he was wearing his clothes. It was as if my mind floated back to recall the memories I had with my family. My father is an army soldier, more precisely he is KOPASUS, my brother he is also an army soldier, yes the best graduate from AKMIL and my mother is a super kindhearted kindergarten teacher. I'm very happy that even though my father often goes to the border or goes on special missions, he will still come home for me and my mother. Unfortunately, at that time my brother had just graduated from AKMIL, he was assigned to the border which was currently turbulent and he died in his duty. Hearing the news from him suddenly made my father and mother go to an army hospital not far from my house and God said another father and mother died because of a traffic accident. At that time I was in the 3rd grade of Junior High which made me despair.
Suddenly I came back to my real world.
"eh...uncle what's the matter uncle?" I replied with surprise
"yes uncle, what are you looking at this uncle's nephew?" with a very gentle tone and a smiling face comforted me.
" When you look at the picture well uncle is like having a shera" either understand or not my words to uncle.
" Let's just forget about that photo! Oh yeah Shera how's Hadi your best friend?"
"Okay uncle, why uncle many circumstances" I asked to read the look on uncle's face.
"Since the departure of your parents and brother uncle pay attention to only Hadi who entertains you at all times? Are you comfortable with all the treatment he's had on you?" I understand what Uncle said.
"Uncle shera is very comfortable towards her! He's everything to Shera but just as a friend and GK's family there are more uncles!" uncle breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shera after you finish high school you want to go to college or work"
"Shera wants to go with Hadi uncle!" I answered innocently
" What does shera mean????" uncle's tone also rose.
"I mean Shera, Shera wants to be a soldier! is uncle allowing?" that's not what I want to achieve, actually, I want to study in psychology major I want to help people whose souls are disturbed not in the sense of being insane but someone who needs a container to express his heart with the right person.
" Uncle is very supportive of you being a soldier, hopefully you succeed yes son" uncle sumringah's face
" Uncle shera went into the room huh? want to do the job'"
"yes son"
I hurried to leave the uncle who was still sitting in the living room staring intently at their photo. May this day pass quickly in my life, I stir between desire and friend . And for Dad, Mom and Brother, may you calm down over there I'm fine here as long as Hadi is by my side. Hadi is also part of the shera life, without Hadi maybe I will not arrive today, may you live a long life yes Hadi in order to keep me until I find the man of my dreams.
