The Stupid Shaft

THE NEGLECTED HATRED

"So with brother Ricky is not brother Angga?" asked Dito enthusiastically.

After saying that Ricky was going to propose to her, Deta asked for an opinion from her family.

"Yes, Dek," Deta replied uninspiredly.

"Why isn't Big Brother excited like that? You don't like Ricky's brother? If you don't like to refuse, brother." Dito lightly gave advice.

If you knew, Dek. I also want to reject it if Mr. Ricky has not planted seeds here.

Deta sat there while rubbing her stomach.

His innocence makes Deta easy to lie to. He really thought that Ricky had touched him that night.

"Sister!!!" Dito put his hand down in front of Deta's face.

"Eh, yes, Deck." Deta blinked her eyes.

"Sister didn't do anything wrong, did he?" ask Danang carefully.

He caught something strange happening with this sudden proposal.

"Ti-" Didn't get a chance to answer. Sarah interrupted.

"You think he's like you? Deta is my daughter! He won't do anything as lowly as you."

"Mrs ...." Deta held his mother's hand.

His gaze immediately turned to Dania who was still sitting sweetly beside Dito.

"Dania to the room first! It's late tomorrow, Dania has to go to school, right?" Deta smiled at Dania who retorted a small nod.

The girl immediately got down from the chair and walked towards her bedroom.

After making sure Dania had entered his room and would not hear their conversation. Deta tried to talk to both of her parents.

"Ma, it's been three years and Mama still hasn't forgotten everything. Please don't talk about it in front of Dania! Poor Dania, Ma. He was very small and did not understand anything. And Deta will never get tired of asking Mama to love Dania."

"It's precisely because she Mama can't forget everything. I couldn't love her even though she tried it. Her face always reminds Mama of your Papa's betrayal." Tears were pouring down Sarah's face.

Dito, who could never accept Dania, hated the little girl because she had made her mother tormented every day.

He clenched his hand holding back the emotions that were ready to explode.

"I'm sorry, Papa. All this is Papa's fault." said Mr. Danang lirih.

"Sorry..sorry...sorry!!! Papa can only do that! Why is Papa still here? Papa should've gone and let us be happy." Dito could no longer contain his anger.

"Dito!!! Talk good with papa." Deta snapped at her sister who was already standing up as if challenging her father.

"Stop playing, brother. I know Brother is also tormented and hates that unlucky child. But Big Brother always ignored her and let the hatred eat away at Brother's heart." Dito spoke with fury.

"I don't hate Dania!!!" deny Deta more to herself.

"Snob hate it! Just look at Brother always calling her by name instead of sister." Dito grinned.

"I love him. Dania's my sister." Deta insisted.

"That's not a feeling of affection, brother. I just feel like I owe him my life. And it's been paid off for three years."

Deta covered her ears. He doesn't want to hear anything anymore.

Behind the door of her room, Dania could hear the debates of her two brothers very clearly.

"So no one loves me?" Dania sobbed while smothering her mouth.

***

Last night Deta couldn't sleep and kept thinking about Dito's words about him not loving Dania sincerely.

I hated him when he first came into my life. But slowly as time goes on. Dania has become a part of my life. He's my reason for keeping this family together. I want her to have a happy family. I think Mama and Dito would feel the same way. But the more they hate Dania. Is it a mistake to keep this family together?

Guilt began to overtake Deta. Because of his selfishness during this time, he forced his mother to survive with a thousand wounds that never healed.

Unknowingly, he had ignored the pain experienced by his mother. He forgot all the pain that the woman who loved him the most in the world had felt.

"Mrs ...." One tear escaped from his eye patch and followed by a stream of tears flowing from his round eyes.

I forgot my mother's pain just so I could have a full family. I don't think of Dito's disappointment in papa that made him move away from papa. And Denmark ...

Deta sobbed harder and harder. He immediately buried his face in the pillow so that no one would hear his cries.

And that night, Deta went through with tears of regret that she had endured for three years.

***

The commotion that occurred the previous night had opened up a new fact in Deta's life.

He wants to fix everything. All these problems are caused by him. The destruction that was supposed to happen could not be avoided. But by delaying it all this time only causes even greater destruction.

Early in the morning Deta had packed his things. He decided to take Dania away from his family.

"If only I felt I owed my life to Dania. Then, I have to pay for it with my life!" deta muttered.

Deta rushed out of her room. But he did not find any members of his family.

He walked to Dania's room. And saw that Dania was preparing to go to school.

"Good morning, Dania. You are so beautiful. Here Brother trim your hair!" Deta took a comb and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Dania approached but she only took a comb in Deta's hand.

"No need.I can do it myself!" ketus Dania's.

Deta gasped to find Dania acting like that to him.

"Well, Dania's a big girl now." Deta kept trying to calm down.

He saw the reflection of Dania's pouting face in the mirror.

"Sister wants to take Dania to grandma's house. Dania wants to, right?"

Dania just stood still and looked at the mirror that showed the face of Deta sitting behind her.

Suddenly Dania turned around and asked softly.

"Son't you want to dump me?"

***

Dania's words made Deta very surprised. How could a girl as small as Dania think like that.

"I want to throw it away?" Deta snorted and shook her head.

Unknowingly his footsteps stopped in front of the Sanjaya family home.

He soon enters and finds the Sanjaya family members enjoying their breakfast without Ricky.

Where's Mr Ricky?

Deta's gaze swept across the room looking for the figure she expected.

"Good morning everyone." Deta looked down politely and greeted everyone.

"Oowww, Dad. Why are you here? Aren't we going to propose to her later in the day, Ma?" Refita is surprised to see Deta who has not done the preparation for her proposal with Ricky.

Just like Refita, the whole family was also amazed by the presence of Deta.

"About the proposal ...," Deta's words hang.

He plays with the strap of the bag he uses because he is nervous and does not know what to say.

"Why, Ta? You want something?" Bu Rika looked at Deta who seemed hesitant to speak.

Deta sighed and gathered her courage.

"Can I refuse his proposal?"

"CAN'T!!!"

Suddenly Ricky came with a face full of anger.
