The Thorn in the Family

Morning Drama

“Papa thought after what happened to our family, Tari still want to come back and stay with me?”

Hem.

Randi's eyes closed for a moment, his hands clinging to the bedsheet that wrapped around Mama's mattress. It was like he was looking for a source of strength there. While Mr. Nario, looking pity on his son and wife. He was confused as to what way to heal Ms. Srining.

Sometimes in the mind is tempted to just let go of him. But again, he remembered the actions that Mrs Srining had done to his son-in-law. It seems that God is testing his wife. He won't call Ms. Srining before apologizing to Tari.

“Ran” again Mr. Nario called him, with a beautiful face and a very soft voice.

“I'm thinking Pa. I don't know if I can meet up with Dance again. I'm afraid Pa, I'm really afraid that my encounter with Tari will get him back hurt, or even vice versa. I'm the one who's gonna get hurt to see her been with someone else”

“Lantas how about your Mama?”

“Only you are our only son Ran, only you we can count on in every way. If not you, then who will Papa depend on to find Tari?”

Silent.

The atmosphere of Ms. screening's room was quiet again that night.

“Ta....The dance....Dance...ma..ma..ma..af” Bu Srining opened her eyes. He was still in a supine position, but his eyes were open. It seems he heard everything his son and wife said that night. With his mouth slightly tilted to the right, and his limitations to processing words, he attempted to speak.

“Mama want what? Drinkies? Randi get ya” Randi rushed to the nightstand on the left side of the bed. He had to turn around to get water. While Mr. Nario, he swiftly helped his wife to sit down.

“Mama, eat first ya” said Randi, he half ran carrying a bowl of porridge and a glass of water. It's been since this morning Ms. Srining didn't open her eyes. This is his chance to be able to feed the mother and drink medicine for her.

“Mother, come! How long have you been getting ready? Will I be in a hurry late?” Shouted Risma who was wearing socks at the help of Miss Marni, she had been waiting for Dance since ten minutes ago on the terrace of their house.

“Before dear. Mommy is still preparing provisions for you” Shouting Dance that is in the house. He was arranging some food for Risma's lunch. Today at Risma school there is additional tutoring. Regular tutoring is done twice a week. Every student who follows the guidance is required to bring food supplies from home. To avoid hunger and snacking just any place.

That morning, Risma asked to bring a burger bun with fries. He is reluctant to bring rice because it will be difficult when eating it. Understandably Bu Marni is used to bribe him when eating. He was not used to eating alone. Especially if the food is with a side dish that has a lot of bones. Risma will have trouble eating it.

“Tara is ready” Dance out with two supplies in accordance with the request of the princess. Konan will be shared with his friend who does not bring supplies later.

“Four slices of burger bread with French fries, complete with sausage” All meals are put in two separate containers.

“Trankou Bunda” face immediately emanated perfectly in the look of Risma's face, his lips formed an upward curve. With enough enthusiasm he began to put the provisions into his bag.

“Lest go Our Lady depart” Bu Marni, start to pair the helmet on the head of Risma, as a protector when on the way. Likewise with Dance who has prepared with clothes and helmets on her head. Like bias he will go straight to the store after driving Risma to school.

The two began walking towards the garage on the right side of their house. The dance that carries the key of the motor runs first in front of her child.

“Gosh!”

“Gosh!”

“How is this?” Dance glanced at the wrist, looking at the clock that was coiling in her hand.

“Hah, where less than fifteen minutes again” his face suddenly panicked, understandably at the residence of Tari, there is no transportation that passes there. To go to the base ojek is also a long walk.

“Why Mother?” Risma looked up at the Mother, who suddenly broke out that morning.

“Mother forgets, Mother's motor will strike last night dear. Now the bike is still in store”Ucap Tari, with a grinning smile on his son.

Risma fell silent, she lowered her face down. His fingers squeezed each other. A moment later her tears just dripped in her eye pelupuk. While dancing, he was still confused as to what to do. Repeatedly opening the bag grabs the phone and tries to contact someone.

“Loh, why baby?” tanya Tari, she crouched down to grab the child's face. Raising his chin up.

“Kok cry?”

Risma quickly wiped her tears immediately to hide her cries. He did not want to make his mother sad with his attitude. Risma, to be honest, thought of her father. Back then when he was still in Surabaya he would go to school with Randi and Tari. The three left together by car. Randi will deliver Risa first to school, then deliver Tari to her shop. Then the man will go to work. The little girl longed for the moment of togetherness that she only enjoyed for some time at that time.

Risma chose to shake her head.

“Why nak?” Bu Marni asked, his head looking up towards the right side of the house where the garage. He walked slowly to get there.

“I forgot that the motor broke down and is still in store”

“Grandma, did Risma just skip today?” The two sat on one of the chairs in front of the entrance gate. Risma's feet hung up and waited for the restless Mother.

“Don't kid, babe if truant. Bentar ya nak” Mata Bu Marni, staring at the right and left ends, still hoping there are people passing by to ask for help.

“Mas...mas...” shouted Bu Marni at the rider passing in front of her.

Wus....

The motorcycle drove so fast without caring for the call of Bu Marni. Understand that it is still morning, all will be busy with their respective activities.

“Mbak Lela..” Bu Marni's hand again waved to call Mbak Lela, another alley neighbor from her home. They were friends when in the assembly.

“What's up Miss Marni” replied Mbak Lela, she started to reduce the speed of her bike without stopping.

“Mbak where are you going? I want to ask for help”

“Halah Mbak sorry, next time you ask for help, I again rush to the market. At home there is an event, your son received a proposal” he replied later without stopping his bike.

“Tomorrow Yes Mba, ask for help”

“Haduh, people need now” Bu Marni shook her head with fret. “mana it's noon home”

“Grandma” pouty face tends to resist the crying started to be drawn on Risma's face.

“Tar, how?”

“Benatar Mom. Unreply. Just a little more, son. Mommy is still trying” yells that are still standing in front of the entrance of her house.

Tin.tin....

The sound of a horn rang, a young man opened his car glass. He rode slowly and greeted the middle-aged woman beside the road.

“Excuse Bu” he smiles, a very shady and soothing smile. His head slightly nodded slowly as a form of respect.

“Nak... wait son..” shouted Bu Marni calling. He walked over to the car the man was driving.

“Iya Bu?” realizing that Miss Marni was approaching, she chose to stop her car pulled over on the side of the road.

“Nak Rama where to go?”

“I want to go to Bu” hospital

“Hospital Pelita Bangsa?”

He nodded and smiled “right Bu”

“It's a coincidence then. Rama's son, I want to ask for help. Mother Nebeng for Risma and her mother. The Dance Motor broke down last night. This kasian is noon. I'm worried that Risma will be late later”

“Good Ma'am please. Risma come dear” with pleasure Doctor Rama received the ride.

“Come dear ride” Rama get off his car he immediately walked to open his car.

“Risma behind nak” said Miss Marni when she found out Rama opened the front door for her granddaughter.

“Yeye fun to ride in the car” babble the little girl cheerfully.

“Tar, let's hurry here. Buruan depart later late”

Half-dance runs towards the front yard. In his mind the mother had found a motorcycle taxi driver.

“Buruan naik” said Bu Marni by pushing Tari's body into Rama's car.

“But Bu” Dance with her Mother's attitude.

“Have not been much but, the hunt entered later your son was late” Bu Marni forcibly closed the car door, he immediately waved his hands at the ana and grandchild who were in the car.

Tin....

Rama smiled and said goodbye.

“Perfect” said Miss Marni with satisfaction, she smiled without moving from her place before the car was lost in time and the road.
