The Child Ignored

Reunite

Bu Isti went into the house, and passed by Riko who was ready to go to work, while Andi he was helping Pak Umar enter animal feed because the other workers were home.

" assalamualaikum Riko, you want to go now son? "

" waalaikumsalam, ah yes buk, Riko pamit huh? Assalamualaikum "

" waalaikumsalam, be careful on the road.do not speed, the parents wait at home "

Riko, who was currently wearing a helmet, answered the advice from Bu Isti with a smile while nodding her head to look at the figure of a middle-aged woman who was worried about her safety.

There is a sense of arousing that is difficult to express whenever anyone notices it or worries about him. Maybe because it has not been getting more attention since his grandmother died, and just get again from the figure of Bu Isti mother of Andi college friends.

Along with the late Pak Danu and the late Bu Nana, Riko is also quite close, only there is a sense of pride stored in Riko to get attention from them. All the kindness given to Riko was enough for her, Riko felt too greedy if she wanted to get excessive attention from them. Though Mr. Danu and Bu Nana used to love Riko very much. But Riko always tried to deny the feeling in his heart that feels cool every time he gets attention from Bu Nana and Pak Danu.

Riko always instills in his heart to be self-conscious, do not be too greedy and talk.not to be lulled by his kindness and even do miseweng to not know thank you. Maybe that's why, Riko felt her own coolness when together with Bu Isti. The figure of the grandmother seemed to come back through the figure of Bu Isti.

Riko has arrived at his place of work, as a waitress who is ready to serve customers with all her heart. There was a customer who had just arrived at the corner table near the window, Riko rushed over to ask for the customer's order. It was alleged that the customer was her stepmother along with a teenage boy and daughter who Riko believed were her two younger siblings. But I don't know, Riko doesn't really know what his three younger siblings look like at this time, it's just that Riko still remembers that the customer who is now in front of him is the figure of his stepmother who never wanted to accept himself well.

The first thing Riko felt was surprised, not wanting to serve but her feet had already stepped and were in front of her stepmother.

Nothing happened, it seemed like her stepmother had forgotten about her. Evidently he did not recognize Riko who was clearly standing straight in front of him. Riko was quite grateful for that.

After noting what was in the message, Riko immediately resigned. But the shocking thing happened when Riko just swung her legs about to step, her stepmother again said "oh yes, you are Riko right? "

the question was difficult for Riko to answer, wanting to nod but it felt difficult. Though Riko already thought that her stepmother had forgotten her and did not remember her again, but wrong. What he was thinking was so wrong, Bu Rima really still remembered it.

Because I never got an answer from Riko, Bu Rima again said "be surprised if I still remember you? obviously I remember you, because I will always remember your face, because what? because you are a thorn that must be removed and must not be close to my family. Never try to see your father again. Remember that ". Without answering the booming remark from Bu Rima, Riko rushed back to the back and asked her friend to take her place to deliver her stepmother's order. Riko no longer wanted to hear a dagger-like speech.

During work Riko becomes less focused due to the raging mood. So many mistakes and get a reprimand from the manager.

Riko rode her iron horse with raging feelings, between sad, angry, hate mixed into one. Although sometimes whiny and get swearing from some vehicles that he overtook, thankfully Riko can go home and arrive home safe.

Without saying hello, Riko went straight into his house and set foot straight into his room without caring for the astonished gaze of Pak Umar, Bu Isti and Andi.

" loh Buk, that's Riko why? " asked Mr. Umar to his wife.

" that's right, why is that. I don't know sir, I'm the mother from earlier also here with the same father Andi " replied Bu Isti

" Andi, you know that Riko why? " ask Mr. Umar to Andi

" Andi also does not know sir, maybe there are more problems at work "

" ah yes, that was Riko's son to go to work huh, eh how now already home? shouldn't it still be later, right? " and Mr. Umar and Andi nodded together confirming what Bu Isti said. Because all they know is that Riko works back home is still about two hours away.

Feeling that something was wrong, Bu Isti stood up to follow Riko to his room. While Mr. Umar and Andi just silently looked at Bu Isti who had started to step towards Riko's room. But when it reached the door of Riko's room, Bu Isti turned around and asked Andi to go inside. Because according to Bu Isti it would be better if Andi who went inside, because Andi is a good friend of Riko. Andi agreed with her mother's opinion. Without the ba-bi-bu Andi rushed up from where he was sitting and walked to Riko's room.

" Riko, Rik, you're inside right? " there is no word from the inside, Andi again said "I went in yes Rik" and still no speech at all, andi finally decides to enter Riko's room which happens to be unlocked.

The first thing that Andi saw when he was in Riko's room was the fragile figure of a Riko who slept on her back with a blank look staring at the ceiling of the room, and his eyes shed tears, but no sobs came out of his mouth, even shoes were still attached to his feet.
