The Fight For Honor

Portrait of a Happy Family

Back home Gungun had intended to continue bathing, but suddenly today the water in the tub felt too cold. Then do not take a bath and only take ablution water to pray magrib. However, it is difficult to simply strip the shirt from the body. Both hands hurt when pointed backwards. Suddenly Gungun felt all over his body in pain. However, he had to change clothes that had been soaked by his own sweat. Finally with great difficulty he can change copy and wear cocoa clothes and wear gloves and pray.

After the prayer, he wore a clean t-shirt from the closet and wore training trousers. The scarf and scabbard he just put on the side of the bed and he did not fold. His head feels heavy and there is a feeling of nausea but not vomiting?

It looks like I caught a cold, Gungun thought. At that moment, Mama came to her room.

"De, your brother said there was a fight in front of the Istiqomah mosque?" ask Mamah.

"Tau ah, Dila the gossip.." said Gungun.

"Eh, who is polite dong, call Teteh, do not name doang. He's your brother, " said Mama.

"Mighty caring!" Sahut Gungun.

At that moment there was a voice coming from behind the door, "it's clear who's fighting you, still saying gossip!"

"ah! oh, go there! dizzy to know!" Hardik Gungun to his older sister.

"Mistake yourself look for disease" said Dila who was still behind the door. Of course Gungun inflamed made it.

Ghh...! Gutu Gungun while flapping his legs to the floor. Meanwhile, Mama signals her daughter to be quiet.

"You have only two children, you should get along!" reproof Mama.

"Abis tuh the nosy witch is just the same for other people ..." Gungun protest.

"Did, short wick!" Dila Sahut. The contact of the ledge ignited his sister's emotions.

Buk up! Now it's the closet's turn to be kicked by Gungun who vents his anger. Mama was made by the behavior of her children.

Finally Mama also calmed Gungun. "Yes, I ate there first ..."

"I'm dizzy, Ma" said Gungun. "Mom goes there, I want to sleep ..."

Gungun kicked Mama out

while breaking the body. Mama understood and then went to close the door.

But at that time there was still a giggling sound being held. "Thank God, being angry is fine."

"Father diem!" Bentak Gungun increasingly irritated to hear the voice of his Papa followed by commenting. But then there was no sound of anything else then Gungun dropped his head on the pillow and briefly slept. []

　

The sun was already rising high when Gungun just woke up. It was because she was awakened by her mother.

"It's 7 o'clock, you don't pray dawn, huh?" said Mama. "Yesterday Isya wasn't it?"

Gungun remained silent and still sat on the edge of the bed lazily. While Mama is already wearing a hijab and a state teacher batik uniform.

"You sick?" ask Mama, "go to the puskesmas delivered by Mama huh?"

Gungun shook his head. "No, it's better" said Gungun. "Bath a shower soon."

"Yes, Mama's leaving now," said Mama while thrusting her hand, "assalamu'

alekum."

"Wa'alaikum greetings," replied Gungun as he kissed Mama's hand.

"It still hurts not to go to school first .." said Mama while going outside. Not long after, there was a double standard sound of a bicycle in fold and then pedaled.

Slowly Gungun wake up and direct the kitchen he was referring to. In a skillet placed on the stove there is a sauteed eggplant his favorite and still in a warm state. Since yesterday magrib he went straight to sleep, now his stomach has been starving.

His mother was a MAN teacher [1] so that after dawn prayers directly cooking for Papa supplies to go to work and for Dila who has had a job as well.

Gungun took the plate and spoon on the shelf to take the rice on the bench. After scooping a few times, then he took a few pieces of omelette. Then also scoop his favorite stir-fry.

On the sink are piled dirty containers old Mama cooked this morning. Usually when there is a mood again, he washed the dirty containers. But this time he refused to do it.

Before he left the kitchen, he first took a cup with his name written. Then with his right hand holding the plate and his left hand holding the cup, he went to the living room. While he placed the plates and cups on the table and turned on the radio, he searched for a suitable frequency. When finally

heard the intro song A View To A Kill from the band Duran Duran, he stepped back and ate while sitting and put his feet on the sofa. Gungun eat while jerking the body enjoying the song.

....

Dance into the fire,

That fatal kiss is all

we need's.

Dance into the fire

The fatal sounds of

broken dreams's.

Dance into the fire

....

After Gungun finished eating, he brought the plate back to the kitchen and placed it on the sink. Then he ignited the flame igniter from the stove and burned the wick. While waiting for the flame to be large and evenly distributed around the axis of the stove, he took out a large pot and picked up water in the tub. Today he wants to take a warm bath, the water in the tub is still too cold for him. But when scooping the water in the dipper, his hands are no longer sick when giving energy.

Once full, the pot is placed on the stove and the panc is closed. Then while waiting for the water to get hot, he went to fall on the sofa in the living room and sat down daydreaming. Long enough to wait finally heard the sound of water in the pot has been turbulent. Then he went to get a towel that was placed on a plastic rope in front of the bathroom and then he went to take a shower.

Today he decided not to go to school. Although now it's meningan, but to go to school the body feels not strong. Then finished bathing and changing with clean clothes, he fell asleep again until he actually slept lulled songs from the radio. []

Gungun woke up when he heard a sound from the kitchen, someone was washing dirty containers. Apparently Mama's gone home and usually it's one in the afternoon. The radio was no longer heard. Slowly he woke up and went to the kitchen and sure enough his mother who was there. To see her son coming, Mama put off the laundry and wiped her hands with a dry cloth. Then the back of Mama's hand was placed on Gungun's forehead.

"Now it's not hot," said Mama. Then Mama continued her work. While Gungun took a seat by the window.

"Well, make a sick letter tomorrow" said Gungun while glancing out the window."

"Yes Mama made it." said Mama invited Gungun to tell her because yesterday was not on time. "Yesterday why? Don't fight the streets anymore. Learn to give up ..."

"That's not the story!" Gungun.

"Whatever the problem is, you're getting bigger. So the consequences of fighting his affairs can be

so bigger ..."

"Mama don't know!"

"Yes try the story. What's the problem, let Mama know?" Ask Mama.

"Do not know!"

"Do you not know?"

"Yes, I don't know. If you don't know, don't know!" said Gungun with a high tone. Mama relented and invited Gungun to be more open to her.

"Yes tell me dong let Mama understand."

"Gun doesn't know either. It's because of Rudi!"

"Rudi?" mama said, "dede still likes to play with the boy?"

"Never .. has not seen Rudi for a long time. But it's like he got a grudge because yesterday the Samson suddenly showed up!"

"Samson... Who is he?" Ask Mama. Then began to tell Gungun the incident yesterday afternoon

that's.

"I think the Rudi took a grudge against me and then told Samson ..."

"Yes, calm down if you have no fault and trust God, there will be an answer someday. Avoid bad kids. Better to focus on karate and if you can achieve it better ..."

Mama knows even from childhood her son often fights, but there is always a reason. If not defending himself, usually defending his brother.

"Children like Rudi should be there to help and provide a better future" Mama said. "When Rudi Elementary 4th grade had studied at the madrasah but only a few months because his parents moved rented. Though his son is quite diligent and has memorized many letters."

Gungun had heard the story from Mama who was now repeated again. But he did not remember seeing Rudi in the madrassa because he was too small to remember.

"The child deserves to be pitied, because his parents are too poor but his children are so much that they are not taken care of all well," said Mama, "they lack food, lack education. And because he inherited his parents' upbringing, his pattern of poverty repeats itself because of his parents' habits."

"Rudi's father was a washerman of angkot-angkot," said Gungun, "gun, often seen on the pangumbahan [2] which is in the basin. [3]"

"Yes, therefore, Dede succumbed to Rudi who should have pitied his life like that. A free life is just for fun without thinking about how his own future would be like that?"

"It's still mending" said Mama, "who's worried about being a thief, a drunk, a drug user, because many say his life is like that. Astagfirullah ..The children of mama mah by Allah are kept away from such things."

"No Ma" said Gungun, "gun, also know which good is not good ..."

"Makanya dede diligent school and resonate with good people to always be a good person in your future. Your children's lives must be better than their parents."

Gungun was silent but pondered Mama's advice.

By then Mama was done with her laundry and had all been wiped with dry cloth and placed on the shelves one by one.

"Mama wants to rest first," said Mama after finishing her laundry. "You want to eat again, stir-fry the same rice already mama angelin. Have you prayed Zduhur yet? If Mama is ..." Then Mama went to the room and broke down. While Gungun reluctantly went to fetch the ablution water.

After the prayer dzuhur Gungun instead went back to sleep in his own room. He still feels tired and does not feel well.

But long enough sleep does not go to sleep and even feel bored in the room only. Then he got up and went outside the room and continued walking to the front door. While passing through Mama's room, she was quiet.

"Ma, I went outside first yes," said Gungun.

"Hm ...." Just a murmur sounded authentic from Mama.

Outside Gungun feel better. Apparently he needed some fresh air outside and sat on the porch.

The road in front of the house is only as wide as can be traversed by two motorcycles in the opposite direction but luckily this house still has a yard, so if the neighboring houses, the, the front door is directly on the side of the road, then the house of Gungun Parents there is still a place to garden, there is even a starfruit tree that makes this place shady compared to the neighbors. This afternoon there are not too many people passing by because the day is still very hot to be outside. []

Now he feels his body is a bit good and not like yesterday that feels pain just to move a little, so he means just a walk. But just walked not far from home feeling lazy came back then he just went home and immediately entered the room to lie back. And just for a moment

I slept again.

When she was at home feeling alone.

"May?" gungun. But there is no lawfulness. Then he went outside the room and looked to the front room, it turned out that Mama was praying ashar, finally he sat on the sofa and looked out the window.

Not long after that, my mom went outside.

"Mama to the madrasah first yes," said Mama while touching Gungun's head to measure the temperature

child's forehead. But Gungun was silent.

Every afternoon after Ashar Mama went to teach naji to the children in this neighborhood and returned before the magrib.

In the time leading up to the magrib all residents of the house are already at home. Usually Dila who came home from work came first and really seemed to come down from the beca. Like Mama, Dila was always wearing a hijab.

At that moment, my mother came. Dila kissed Mama's hand and together went into the house. When Dila saw her sister sitting daydreaming her prank for flirting.

"Eh, dede again why daydream?" said Dila, "again think of a girlfriend?"

"Your eyes!" sahut Gungun fierce.

At that time I heard the sound of adzan magrib and at the same time outside also heard the sound of a 125 px vespa motorbike engine indicating Papa had returned home.

Papa parked the bike in the yard and locked the handlebar and rushed in." Assalamu'aikum ..."

"Wa'alikum salam," the whole house answered. Then Papa went straight into the room. Not long after that he came out again wearing a peci, a cocoa shirt and a sarong.

"Hayu, go to the mosque together .." take Papa to the champion. But Gungun shook his head. Seeing his son was still ogah-ogahan Papa did not force and then rushed to go outside.

After Mama and Dila prayed, then Mama reminded Gungun. "Let's pray soon, de ..."

Finally, Gungun wants to go to get water. Mom rushed to the kitchen. Some time later at night this entire occupants were already fully gathered at home.

"Feel it ready!" mama gave an announcement to the two men in the house. Rushing Gungun overtake Papa who has gone first to the kitchen. While at the same time Dila had already taken the plate that had been filled.

"Reluctant, fellow biscuits are forbidden to precede each other," joked Papa to Dila.

"Who is quick, he can .." said Dila triumphantly. Then Dila went to the living room followed by Mama who was also carrying a plate that had been filled as well.

As Papa was about to pick up vegetables in the frying pan, Gungun intended to overtake. But Papa stood up

blocking way. Of course, the ruler in this house did not want to lose, then removed Papa from his presence by being pushed by his shoulder. Eventually the coup was won by Gungun. Papa just went to the waist while breathing heavily watching his son scooping vegetables to the plate more

back then.

"Sori, first," said Gungun while going to the living room as well. Actually in the kitchen there is a dining table but regular events every night always occur in the room that has a TV. And on television is airing a teen drama show.

Finish eating everyone washes dishes and other eating utensils by each. Carpet in the middle

the living room has been cleaned using a broomstick to be used on a pedestal or lying down while watching the show on TV. Another case with Mama who took an ironing shirt and held a base to iron the clothes on the floor.

After plugging the cable into the terminal, Mama took a basket containing dry clothes that had been dried earlier this afternoon in the laundry room in front of the bathroom.

Meanwhile Dila sat on the sofa while reading a magazine. When in the house clothes worn Dila just relax wearing t-shirts and hotpain like now. And Mama herself had her hair left open. T-shirts and trousers worn by Mama made of cotton.

At that time Papa was sitting on the carpet leaning against the wall and his legs were spread while watching TV with Gungun who collapsed. Coincidentally the show is themed teenagers who are being struck by romance so that Papa there is material to talk to Gungun who has long wanted to ask his son.

"She said you have a boyfriend?" Ask Papa. Gungun smiled widely while changing his sleeping position.

"No.." - Gungun denied.

"Ah, Papa knows too. What's the name of the girlfriend?" ask Papa again. While Gungun increasingly blushed but still silent.

"Yes, Pah .. She already has a boyfriend." said Dila. Sontak Gungun stood up to hear his brother divulge his secret.

"The thief heard, the pretentious .." said Gungun increasingly blushed but covered it by pretending to be angry.

"Sit down when the parents talk again!" tegur Dila saw his brother in front of him.

"So the Dila Tea is so good to know!" sahut Gungun while lying down again. "About no girlfriend!" Gungun Ejek.

"What a courtship!" Dila reproaches. "You've been dating!"

"Do you have a boyfriend?" ask Papa who keeps teasing his youngest child. Gungun remained silent and gave no answer.

"The name is Melani, Pah .." said Dila again. This time Gungun matikutu and can not deny anymore.

"Do you know?" asked Papa while holding back laughter for the sake of now seeing that his son was not as brave as before to his brother.

"Kan Anisa, Aisyah's sister in High School 4 as well."

"Oh yes" said Papa. "Aisha hasn't been here in a long time? When you were in college you used to play together ...."

"Aisha has worked too." said Dila.

By the time Mama interrupts, ". attracted to the opposite sex is natural, but there must be a limit. Dede herself knew .." said Mama while rubbing her clothes. Gungun just smiles at the dikulum hearing advice from his mother because she can no longer hide it.

"By the way Melani is pretty, Gun?" ask Papa. But the one asked remained silent and seriously glared at the glass screen. And the one who answered was Dila. "Jelek Pah" said Dila. "Udah item, pugnya pussy again!"

Sontak Gungun stood up again. "Sokay know!" gungun Disputation. "Lani is beautiful like Tio Beng!"

"That's right now. Pah," said Dila triumphantly because he managed to uncover his sister's confession. When Gungun realized he had to be bullied, he immediately went into the room because he was embarrassed.

But Papa was not content to tease his son. "Tio Beng in To Liong To, huh?" ask Papa. "It's a pretty dong, it matches Tony Leung's handsome rich co-star Papa ..."

Hearing that, Gungun back out again, then said, "idih ge er, far dong ... Papa is old! I'm still young, handsome again!"

But Papa did not want to lose, "Yes, it is natural that the fruit falls not far from the tree..."

"Old man, read it!" tease Gungun while replying to mark Papa. The tip of his finger was about to touch Papa's skin. But swiftly the middle-aged man caught his son's finger. But of course Gungun more swiftly pulled back his hand quickly so that Papa's catch touched the empty place, and this makes Gungun girang managed to outwit Papa. "Need to! Ha ... Ha... Ha ..." Gungun. But how surprised when he got the right foot Papa had touched his feet without guessing.

"Eit, cheat!" shouted Gungun protest and then launched another style. But Papa did not stay still, then fended off and followed by a foot swipe back in a state of still sitting. But this time Gungun had anticipated, then twitched while fending off his Papa attack.

All is done just playfully but Gungun screams as if facing a real fight ...

"Eit, it's not right!" exclaiming Gungun, "watch for attack, ciaaat!"

"Hey, hey ...! These nights are screaming," Mama scolded, "bikin' noisy to the neighbors!"

At once Papa stopped his behavior and turned around and turned his attention to the spectacle on TV, while Gungun was still curious because he had not succeeded in retaliating on the fraudulent actions of his father. []
