The Ruler And The Upik Abu

Part 8 Who is Melati Bag. 2

My lunch is over, my hunger and my thirst are healed. The Mbok went inside to continue his other work, a large bottle of mineral water and a plate of snacks left for me in the chair just under the mango tree, I am grateful that there are still people who want to pay attention to me in this foreign place.

I began to rise to continue my work, I was afraid it would not be finished. Because the land I have to work on is very large. It's just Mr. Rey's subterfuge to punish me, because all this time I've been resting too long in my cubicle. Surely he wants me to suffer, my mind is no-no. Hopefully it's just my mind, hopefully what I don't want doesn't happen to me today.

I started to re-create the bedeng to plant Mr. Rey's roses, my hand was not strong enough to hoe. I think both my palms were sore and when I saw them both bleeding, then the pain was begging for forgiveness. The problem again for me this time, how can I do all this work if the condition of both palms of my hands has been bleeding and blisters like this. The more I forced the more pain I felt, my tears began to fall withstanding the pain in both my palms. I sat back in the chair, cooling my body. The heat was so hot, my hands hurt so much.

Just a few minutes I rested, I was already shocked by someone's raising.

" Hey boy, I told you to work. Not to sit there!!! "

I was surprised, because the one who shouted it was Mr. Rey.

" I'm sorry, sir, I'm just resting for a while. I will continue my work."

" No words later, I want it now, not later. Do your job now, quickly do basic slackers!!!"

Gruffly Mr. Rey pulled my hand and pushed me to the ground, not satisfied with just that Mr. Rey slapped me on the cheek.

I fell to the ground while enduring the pain in my cheek.

Not satisfied with just slapping, he kicked his leg and said:

" I will make you suffer even more, don't expect you to be happy here. Because I will make you cry and suffer, feel even more pain every day. I will never make you happy!"

I just asked him:

" My fault what, sir?? What have I done that Master hates me so much??" ask her.

With an angry and scary face, Mr. Rey pulled up her shirt and brought her face closer to mine and answered my question.

" Your fault is to have a face similar to the person I hate the most and it makes me sick every time I see you.

What I have in mind is how I can make you suffer, just as he has done for me!"

" But sir, I'm not that guy. We're different, I don't even know who you mean. Forgive me Sir! " melasku to him.

But what I asked for was never heard by him, and he rudely pushed me again.

" Do what I ask, or you'll suffer far more!"

Alright, I should be able to fight my pain, I got up and left to continue my work again. Honestly, the pain of the punches and kicks I still feel, not to mention the pain of the words coming out of Mr. Rey's mouth. Who is he referring to that he could do this to me. Why did he hate that person so much that he hated him so much???

I just wish he could accept me and not comfort me with that person. Because we are different people.

Lord, help your servant, I am not able to accept this reality. Let the servant out of this place, so that the servant may live like everyone else out there. Hambah longs for school, I long for teachers and friends, O Allah. I miss the home and all those who love me there. Let the servants return to their confinement, and gather with them, O Allah.

Hear this servant's plea, only to You where he asks and pleads.

Only prayer can I offer, by praying my heart is a little calm. I could see the radiance of Mr. Rey's face and the look in the eyes of anger at me, so much as he hated me. He seemed to want to swallow me alive. I was really scared to see him.

I walked towards the bedeng I had not finished working on earlier, with great difficulty I began to lift the hoe and hoe the ground again. My palms began to pull sarah back out, with tears running down my cheeks I tried to endure my pain and hoe the ground with all my might. I wish there was such a miracle in the movies, but it's just a movie. I live in the real world, it's not a miracle for me.

Even if my cries get stronger, Mr. Rey won't give me any leeway.

I realized when a woman's voice called me.

" Dek, you're okay, you're okay??" the panic made me realize, it turned out that Madam Dian and Mbak Rini came to me. The two of them immediately embraced me, sobbing they both examined my entire body while throwing up the question of hearing the worry.

" Which one hurts Dek, whichever one hurts, let me see and treat."

The questions kept coming out of the mouths of the two people, glaring at the faces of both of them the very worries of the two of them. I just smiled watching that, my pain and my sadness was treated for a moment because of the presence of the two people. They were right2 worried about me as it turned out, I was so grateful that they accepted and loved me.

" I'm fine, ma'am, don't worry. I can definitely get through it, because you guys accompanied me. If you weren't around, maybe I wouldn't be able to deal with this myself. Honestly I was afraid to see Master Rey's anger, seeing her hate-filled eyes staring at me earlier." I said to both of them.

I saw tears on both of their cheeks.

" We'll always be there for you Deck, let's sit down and rest for a while. Your hands are bleeding, you better stop hoeing. Rest, you'll talk to Mr. Rey later, let your work continue when you're healed". Said Rini while stroking my hair.

I just nodded at him.

I saw Madam Dian go inside, I don't know what she did. Not long ago he came back and his P3K box, took out its contents and began to choose what he needed to treat both palms of my hands.

"Here's your hand Dek, mbak clean the wound first. "asked me.

" Hold on Deck, it'll hurt, let's get infected with your hand".

" Yes mbak"

Ma'am Dian also began to clean my hands, removing the grains of sand and soil that entered his wounds. Yes, but I tried to hold it, even though I finally cried out in pain.

I saw the faces of the two of them looking panicked and paused for a moment to pour water on both of my hands, allowing me to calm down for a while.

" Are you okay Dek??? But your hands still have to clean, hold it for a while, baby. Just a moment, mbak will quickly clean it, so Adek hold a little more yes. It's almost clean, hold it for a minute baby".

I nodded slowly, as it was all for the good as well.

" Yes Ma'am!You can continue to clean up." I told them both.

Quickly they continued to clean both palms of my hands back.

After cleaning they applied betadine and gave the ointment, then wrapped my hands together. Not finished dressing my hand was done, the sound of footsteps slightly running towards the three of us.

I saw the look on her panicked face and the fear of her wrinkled face.

Yes, Si Mbok half-run towards us in a panic he rained on me with questions, until I couldn't hear and understand what he was asking because there were too many and fast questions he was asking.

"Mbok, calm Mbok. Adek nothing said Mbak Rini."

I just smiled, my gratitude increased. Because they really love me and pay attention to me.

" What does Mr Rey really want, so he could do this to a little boy like you?? What did he have in mind that he could torture you like this?? "

The look on the face of Si Mbok's worries is clear, it seems that he is afraid of bad things happening to me because of the actions of Mr. Rey.

" Mister Rey hates me because I look like the person he hates Mbok so much, do you know the person he means??? " i asked Mbok who made Mbok's eyes wide, not just Mbok who looked shocked. Mbak Rini and Mbak Dian were also aghast and furniture both their eyes. Their mouths were locked for a while, not a single word came out from the mouths of the three of them. As if their mouths were locked, their tongues were stiff so they could not speak.

I am still waiting for an answer from Mbok and an answer from the shock of the three of them.

Mbok quickly pulled me in his arms and hugged me tightly while crying.

"You don't look like that guy on deck, you and him are different. You're not the same, you're different."Shouted Mbok in his tears!

I do not understand what Mbok said, who is the person that was meant by Mr. Rey and Mbok with his sobs said if we are different.

" Who is Mr Rey maxdu Mbok?? Who is that guy?? I asked once again to Mbok.

" Listen Mbok, you're not that guy. You're different, Mbok will tell. But not now, all you have to do is recover your wounds. Mbok will tell you what you want to know, but later. After you rest and your wounds heal. Yes Ndok huh?? "

I just nodded in agreement to his request.

All right, now let's go inside and rest inside. Let Mbok talk to Mr. Rey about your situation. "

" Dian, take ice and compress the adek cheeks and adek legs. Let not be swollen and sick, if allowed to swelling will get worse. "

" Yes Mbok."

"Let's go inside." mbok orders on Mbak Rini and Mbak Dian.

They swiftly carried my body and brought me into the house, they laid me into Si Mbok's room.

" Mr Dian went to take ice to compress the bruises on my cheeks and legs, while Mbak Rini accompanied me in the room. She looked so scared to see how I was, I didn't know how she felt. But clearly, deep worry was implied on his face. She clasped my bandaged hand, kissed it and tried to calm me down as much as possible.

Madam Dian came with her compress kit, and carefully she started compressing bruises on my cheeks and legs.

" Thank you Sister Dian, thank you, Sister Rini, you guys are so good to me." I was grateful to the two people in front of me

It was clear that a clear liquid was flowing from both cheeks they both had, lovingly they were hugging me.

" Rest Deck, don't think too much. We will both accompany you here." said Rini slowly.

Sister Sian also gave me some medicine for me to drink. After I took the medicine I was given, I started to get sleepy. The voice of Ma'am Dian and Mbak Rini the further I heard, my eyes began to be heavy to open fully.

I fell asleep and for a moment I forgot what had happened to me earlier I went into a dreamland, where there was only laughter and happiness. All felt so beautiful and pleasant, without any cries, tears, wounds and cries for golong and abilities. Life feels free, full of joy and can be reunited with my loved ones. It felt like life was so happy, peaceful and filled with an atmosphere full of love.
