THE TIRED EYES

Episode 4

Rafa drove me home. He didn't stop by the house because he had a sudden interest, his father just called him to come home. I also went straight into the house. The first person I meet at home is my mom. I hugged her because I missed her. I can't be away from my mother let alone 1 month, 1 day not see her I've missed her maybe because my childhood was always spoiled by her.

“How? Dad's son graduated right?” Ask my father who suddenly came down the stairs.

“Abira passed dad” my smile to Dad, I approached Dad and hugged him.

“ Son Great Dad!” Dad rubbed my hair.

“ Great! people all pass 100%”, said Jaka who from earlier sat on the sofa with mom and casually read the newspaper.

I looked at him with a cynical look, He could never see me happy.

“Kak, was the champion sister of 1 loh” Jafa said which revealed my anger at Jaka.

“Really? My sister's waah is indeed very great” said me while approaching her and hugging her.

     All my family is gathered here, because I immediately talked to them about my decision to go to college and major in Language. Hopefully allowed. But before I started the conversation, Dad started it first

“ Abirah later you continue in Singapore Department of Technology “

I was immediately shocked not only to leave my hobby in the field of Language, I also had to leave home. How'this?..

“ Father Abirah please, please Daddy. I know Abirah can't be far from Mom. And again Abirah was not used to being alone, Abirah did not want to leave Mother, Oma, Opa.. Ayah” beg me while crying. I can't think of what it's like to live away from all the precious people.

“ Honey, your father did it for your good” My mother's heart hugged me to calm me down.

“ Abirah feel good to be able to study here, why Abirah had to go all the way just to get better? Even this is my bad luck”

“ What did you say?” dad's voice rang out throughout the room, Dad started to get angry again.

“ Dad has canceled your departure in Singapore, but you have to major in IT here” said Mother

I'm so happy, I know Dad must still love me. Although I didn't major in important languages, I wasn't far from family.

“Mother, where's Dad? I want to thank him”

“Let's go, your dad again controls his emotions”

“Was Mom the one who persuaded Dad?”

I saw Mom just nodding and smiling at me. I also hugged him right away

“I miss Mom"

    The next day as promised, Rafa and I met at the usual place. Rafa is standing by the river and he looks nothing like he used to. He looks moody. I looked at him He mostly sighed. I'd like to make him happy by saying that He won the bet and I'll be in class with him because I majored in IT the same as him, I'm sure He'll be happy.

“Rafa you win the bet. I'm not majoring in Languages and most fun again we will one class because I will also major in IT” Sahutku while smiling at him, He smiled but only for a moment and he rubbed my head and said

“Learn the diligent and take good care of yourself”

“What do you mean?”

“ I have to go to Singapore to continue studying, My father told me and it was my dream but I thought of you” Sahut. I don't know what I'm feeling right now between sad and happy because I'm one of the reasons for him.

“ It's okay I can also take care of myself, after all you must be home on vacation right and we can meet and spend time at that.” My heart to calm him. He was lying on my thigh at that moment and I felt all my blood flow rise to my head. I need to calm down. Calm down…. Actually, if I accept Dad's offer, maybe I can go with him to college in Singapore, but with my family more importantly. We also enjoyed the bright morning atmosphere and the air was so soothing.
