The Unmissed Family
A Play
A middle-aged woman was preparing breakfast at the dinner table.
"Wake up, baby?" He asked while looking at her because he heard footsteps.
"Hmmm.." The young man answered while rubbing both eyes with both hands.
"Ma, Papa didn't come back today?" The young man asked after sitting at the dinner table preparing to eat the bread he had just taken.
Anika quickly hit the young man's hand using the spoon he was holding.
"Emperor! The habit of eating is to wash your hands first!" Anika spoke while glaring towards the young man.
"Ouch! Mama nih hit it like I'm again taking Tupperware pride Mama aja, sick tau!" The Emperor protested by wiping his hand.
When Anika was about to lecture the Emperor again, there was the sound of a car entering the parking lot, after which there was a middle-aged man entering the house with a paper bag containing groceries.
"Gee... What's the matter? Looks like Papa missed something." Asked the middle-aged man while putting a paper bag on the dining table and then kissed the lips of Anika, his wife.
The Emperor looked at the incident with no care. It was as if it had become a habit that his parents had done when they met.
"Gee.. Papa's gone home. But the tumben back in the morning, usually the afternoon just come home." Anika asked with a warm smile, it felt like they just got married yesterday.
"Look Kai, women are always like that when men come home late he protests, when men come home early he protests again." Rendra replied by pointing at the woman in front of him while looking at the child.
The Emperor laughed at his father's words "Is there not a parable that men are always wrong in the eyes of women and women are always right in many ways?"
"Is there really such a parable? Ah.. Kai, you need to be more careful with a woman's name. If not, we're done." The three laughed at Rendra's words
After finishing breakfast, the Emperor went to his room.
"Why come home early? Did something happen?" Anika asked Rendra while turning to the Emperor's room, making sure the young man had actually entered the room.
Rendra who was eating also stopped her hand movements while glancing towards Anika who was sitting beside her.
"Can't I go back to this house?" Answer with a question.
"It's not like that... It's just that you're not usually like this. So I thought if there was a problem maybe I could help." Anika replied while throwing her face the other way. It was as if he was holding something back.
Rendra lost her appetite she then got up from her seat and stepped away. But only three steps did he start suddenly he turned around again and said,
"Stop as if you care about me! You may have forgotten that all this happened because of you!" He said in a slightly high tone then he walked back without waiting for an answer from Anika.
Hearing the words from her husband, Anika was only able to exhale violently she was trying to strengthen herself. Without him noticing, the tears that he had been holding back had finally escaped just like that.
"I'm also tired of this and I'm trying to fix everything, but you never gave me that chance."
