The Forgotten Sins
Gathering, then ...
At about 01:33 a.m., a middle-aged woman in a neat shirt opened the door of their room and smiled to see that her two children had fallen asleep . He went in, fixed the blanket and turned off the lights and then went out to carefully close the door.
Rabka woke up, stretched his body and glanced at the clock that showed at 04.57 am. With heavy eyes he dragged a step down the stairs that led to the dining room. This morning he found an awkwardness on a table full of food. In fact, usually the two of them have to cook together or wait for orders ordered by the mother from the office. Understandably, the mother rarely cooks because she leaves very early and comes home very late, not even infrequently she is not at home. He was a secretary of a major electronics company. So, indeed the schedule is very solid, where the boss goes as soon as he goes. While Dad was a soldier. The army in Medianpolis is very important. They are forged continuously, every month there is some training that must be followed either anywhere, whether in the city, outside the city or even abroad .
Rabka kept walking checking the entire house, looking for who was the one who cooked this much food.
“maybe it's Mom, but.mom is out of town right now. There's no way he's coming home, just yesterday he left.” Her thought.
He opened his mother and father's room. There are different there usually this room is always neat but, this time there are some sheets of paper and pen scattered on the table.
“Mother..”call her, because there is no answer she turned around.
There was a door that opened, and it went straight to him. Inside was a woman who was tidying up her clothes.
“Mother!!”he cried because his guess was right.
“eh..., Rabka is awake?” Ask the woman.
“mom is already home, isn't mom having a meeting?” Ask Rabka without heeding Mother's question.
“iya..., the mother did not leave.., when the plane arrived at the destination airport, there was a message from the opposite party that the meeting was postponed suddenly, and the mother immediately returned here this morning” replied Mother.
“oh..., so it is..”kata Rabka nodded.
“Nothing –what is it?” Ask mother.
“Obviously dong..” replied Rabka tickled with her mother's laughter.
“Come to eat!”take mother.
"Come...!" answered Rabka excitedly.
When Rabka dipped the rice on her plate, Arna came down the stairs with her eyes slightly closed. He smiled cutely at the behavior of his sister who was half asleep.
“Have you brushed your teeth?” Ask Rabka.
Arna simply replied with a nod.
“kok still sleepy?” Ask mom wonder.
“No sleepiness ko bu.., just want to sleep” replied Arna ngasal.
"ah.., Arna!" said Rabka.
“Oh yes! When did you get into school?” Ask mom while they're eating the dishes.
"after the holidays....!" arna replied with seductive intent.
“date 7 november” rebuttal Rabka.
“means the day after, right?” Ask mother.
“yupz...” reply Arna.
I just nodded my head to finish the topic.
“nah..., want to join mom shopping?” Ask Mom
with a big smile.
“mau...!!” they both answered excitedly.
“now, shower.” said mother is no less excited.
Mom took the car contact hanging in the closet. The car is parked in front of the gate. My mother allowed her two favorite children to enter the car. The trip was very pleasant because it was constantly peppered with the jest and laughter they shared. Arriving there, when the mother opened the car door, without warning they jumped into the yard of a supermarket filled with cars. Mothers rarely shop at the market, after all the traditional market in the city there is only one with a completely incomplete selection of goods. It is now in the renovation phase.
“ayo in!” take the mother while holding her two children's hands across the car park which is quite spacious.
On the doorstep of the supermarket there was a familiar voice greeting their arrival, namely the sound of two robot guards at the entrance. The robots stand showing off the sophistication of today's technology to everyone. Mom opened the shopping note from her bag. While Arna and Rabka have been separated from the gang and engrossed in playing seluncurran on the slippery floor of the mall. Before long, mother waved her hand to bring them closer.
“Ekscalator?” rabka was not happy to see the escalator in front of them.
Arna giggled at the face of her brother
turn sour that. As if he had a very unpleasant memory with the word excalator. But it was a fact.
Once upon a time, when Rabka was a child. Father and mother once took him up the excalator to the top level of the supermarket at that time he was very excited.but, when they arrived, he was late to step his feet, so his favorite sandals were stuck in the excavator. It was sad that his heart knew that the sandal had been broken. Although the father and mother had bought him new sandals, but the word escalator still leaves bad memories. His daydreams were scrapped when mom called him to ride the excalator.
“why should an escalator?” Ask Rabka.
“ya..., it must ride the escalator. What else would you like to go up?” mother asked back.
“but right, there's a ladder!” his elbow.
“enak ride Escalator lah..got need to be tired bring barang” replied steady mother.
They went upstairs to the escalator. While on top of the escalator, Arna looks different from Rabka who looks wary and alert. They had finished shopping, they had returned home.
“what's bu?” Ask Arna.
"uh.. no, that's dad coming home tomorrow...!" Mom answered while hanging up the phone still with a joyful expression.
“yesh..” Excite Rabka.
“Hore..., meaning we can walk around the city!” arna was no less happy.
“iya dong...!!” answer mother.
“eh, it's already eating and fast sleeping! Tomorrow we welcome father.” Said mom.
They rushed to the dining table.
Morning –morning blind heard the sound of the gate of the house opened. Arna jumped from her bed, then ran to Rabka's room and shook her brother's body until he woke up. But not long after he closed his eyes again.
“kak…!! SIS!!! AWAKE UP! DAD COME” said arna sebal.
Rabka opened his eyes and came down from the bed with heavy eyes. Without caring for her brother anymore, Arna ran with her brother's hand down the stairs. Rabka could only follow Arna in a staggering step due to drowsiness. Below, they saw a man dressed in a full army uniform who was facing his mother. Arna just jumped on the man, he immediately turned to catch his son's body and raised Arna's body high. Rabka approached them with a smile. Dad stroked his head gently.
“Dad when to come?” Ask Rabka.
“Barusan. You guys get up anyway!” answer Daddy
“Not me.., but that you know.. Arna” goda Rabka.
“Woy…!why me??” exciting Arna.
“Arnawa...,Arnawa..!”.his father said, They all laughed.
Arna and Rabka really enjoy the rare days. Because their families rarely get together, they often run a fairly solid routine.
the next day, the school started again. Arna sits on the bench of her class, Class 4D which happens to be still quiet due to the break hours. Somehow today feels awkward, even though the whole family is gathering. He should be happy and excited. However, it felt strange to him. He could only daydream about what was happening.
“DOR....!!!!” Surprise someone from behind. Arna turned her body.
Tenyata, it was Gio's close friend.
“Gio...shock me!!!” exciting Arna.
“ya sorry, out... you daydreaming anyway!!!” answer Gio.
“i also don't know why. But, I think something's not right.” Answer Arna.
“What happened?” Ask Gio.
Arna just shrugged her shoulders. Silent.
In one house, a woman and a man were cooking together.The phone on the table rang loudly. The man walked over to receive the phone then nodded seriously. The woman approached
“ada what?” Ask the woman curious.
“emm..., sorry but there seems to be a sudden order.” Answer the reluctant man.
“hah, what?! You just got home!” the woman was not happy.
“ya..., how else? Devotion must not be half-half!” replied the man while wearing a full army uniform.
"huh.." the woman took a deep breath.
“hmh, I'm sorry, it seems like now is not the right time to gather. But next time when I come home, the four of us will be on vacation together.” Entertain the man who feels somewhat guilty.
“appointment?” Ask the woman whose face is back radiant as if getting a glimmer of hope back.
“ya.” Answer the man.
"we will go to a place that is jauuhhh.so that we can enjoy the tranquility together again!" pinta the woman seemed to give the requirements.
“I promise” he answered while removing a hair that fell on his woman's face and then took a backpack lying on the table and stepped gallantly to get out of the house.
The woman followed behind him quite heavily. A wave was directed at him by the man who was already in the doorway of the car and immediately he responded with a wave and a rather forced smile. But it seemed that the man did not respond and directly entered the car, driving the steel horse down the paved road. The woman turned her face away from the car that almost disappeared in the densely populated house, staring at the flowers in disappointment.
Before long he was fixated there, the sound of horns spread his wailing. He replied with a quick look at the car that apparently was not the car that just left. His heart wavy back. A man in a green uniform came down to say hello and asked
“The father is bu?”
“oh, just now he went.” Answer the woman.
“meaning my arrival here is to inform you that you will be given a few days leave after regular training.” Said the man in uniform directly at his destination.
“eh..., But obviously my husband left because there was a call.” Answer the confused woman.
“try the phone first Mom I will ask for clarity!” the man said astonished but quickly.
“oo.iya I try.” The woman replied confused.
