The Choice of a Little Girl Papa

The Oath to be Wrought

Lying as if lifeless man on a bed being heated by the sun. called out one name from the early morning.His hands and feet trembled in rhythm with each and every beat of his voice.

Little Zan, who had been sitting next to his bed, occasionally glanced at the unopened curtains.

"why are you here?" one voice made him turn his face away.

"command lord Kino" stared flatly.

"where's mama?" with great difficulty he stood up.

Zan was silent, unwilling and not knowing what to answer.

"where's papa?" changing the question is hoping to get an answer.

"have departed since early in the morning" was answered.

"we're friends, aren't we?"

the one asked was silent, he was never asked to be his friend.he only received the command "never die" can it already be called a friend?.

"are you mad because I didn't give you a toy?" look at the face exposed to sunlight.

"no" in short.

"then why did you hold me back when I wanted to chase after my mom yesterday?" staring cynically.

"that's Mr. Kino's order" he replied returning a sharp look with a flat look.

"i've always asked you to play, but why have you never heard my orders?" face fierce and talk fast.

though to his interlocutor now, that fierce face looked fierce at all.

"what are your orders?" answer no less quickly with a real fierce face.

rangga who was shocked for a moment because he got such an expression that he had only seen for the first time.

"i don't want to ask you to play with swords anymore" threw his gaze afraid to look at a face like that.

"spend your breakfast, your teacher is waiting downstairs" pointed to a tray placed on the nightstand.

rangga kicked his thick blanket with his short legs while staring at the door that was almost shut tightly.

time had already shown the lunch hour.it was time to eat the food the waiter had prepared.but this boy was watching his teacher who was putting the books he was also a runner into his bag.

"what's wrong, mr rangga? is there anything you don't understand?" he stopped his hand when he saw the little boy standing in front of him.

"there's no way your material I don't understand easily" he said.

"then what is it young master?" lowered view.

"i want to ask you something" folded his hands in front of his chest.

"please" smile thinly.

"what is divorce?" his innocent eyes were incompatible with his question.

the teacher was instantly speechless.how could the boy he taught everyday, who was more chatty than him, who was very different from children his age. such a question came out of his mouth?.

"i told you to answer instead of daydreaming" Masi folded his arms arrogantly.

"divorce is a separation that occurs when a married couple is no longer in love with each other" after looking for easy-to-understand words he finally replied.

"yes" hesitantly she opened her voice.

"mom and papa don't love each other anymore?" his face and voice are very harmonious.

again and again the teacher was silent. silence was the best choice for now right?.

"thank you for today's lesson" suddenly zan entered and immediately bowed to the teacher.

like getting his life saver, he smiled with relief and immediately took his bag.

after the departure of the teacher, there was silence for a while. zan who was busy cleaning the study table rangga. and rangga who was thinking about the words of the teacher earlier.

"zan, mama and papa don't love each other anymore" her voice was so fragile.

although actually he does not really understand what love is, but by hearing it he can guess, right?.

Zan just listened, choosing to keep cleaning the study table.

"i'm talking to you" pulled up Zan's shirt.

"why talk to me?" turned body.

"who else is here?" half shouting.

back to the learning table.

"mama's gone, is papa going?" I wish someone would answer, but he asked the wall.

"mr Kino couldn't have done that" was immediately answered as it turned out.

both are silent and silence is re-created.

"you were given extra material, right? read the book after lunch" turned over and looked at the man who was lying relaxed.

"even I was given homework" the little voice was heard complaining.

"work soon, the next teacher will come soon" approached a hue that seemed reluctant to stand.

"help me do it" finally sat down with legs that floated not to touch the floor.

"don't you understand everything?" frowned.

"i can't focus" he said slowly.

"pak tan has prepared your lunch" walked away from the rangga.

"hey wait, promise you'll help me" chased after with his short legs.

finally zan accompanied rangga from him to do all his homework, so that zan had to accompany rangga also when the teacher had arrived.not without reason he did it, but he did it, after he saw a man like a daze for half an hour the next teacher started the lesson.as if he wanted to get out of the head of the rangga. his science like lost just like that, this is chaotic.

"mother what should I do?" staring at the face of a sleeping rangga with his hands as a cushion.

actually, Zan already knows everything, the kino master himself who has given his name, but he must close his mouth for the oath he has said and the oath of both parents that he must carry out. for the sake of his young master who was in a haughty style outside of his thoughts.

he carefully closed the books that were scattered on the new study table a moment ago he cleaned. The tired face of the sleeping child was like melting his heart. like not being ready for the next thing that will happen to the boy that he must take care of on an order that he has received.
