Vica
That time...



Doctor Lina's memory drifted to three years ago, when her sister-in-law, Vika's mother-in-law, told her of all the events, just as she herself was there.


that morning behind Vika's house, he kept shooting the ball into his little sister's goal and all the shots came in. He was seen muttering in annoyance as he kept shooting the ball again, again and again until he felt his ankle hurt, hurt a lot, but he never stopped the shot. He continued to do so until noon, his right foot shot still entered into the small goal.


“Sial, shit, shit!” He muttered annoyed, but still picked up the ball and kicked it back into the small net.


He looked increasingly upset and continued kicking the ball until his legs really reached the limit, he was in a lot of pain but he still did not want to stop kicking. While limping he picked up the ball and kicked it again and again until he kicked with the rest of his strength but missed the wall of his house then bounced off the other direction. He was very tired, suddenly...


“Ka, ka I, Ica.” There was a sound of his only puppet sister who could only speak stammering ran towards him, but Kian who saw the ball immediately ran towards the ball that had bounced to the wall wanted to catch him.


“Do Not Kiaan..” Vika ran towards, he did not want Kian to catch the ball he kicked with all his might because the ball rotation became faster and stronger.


“Kian,” heard his mother Vika worried and came running towards Kian.


But Vika and his mother were late, the ball had hit Kian's chest until he was dragged and splashed into the pool. Vika immediately jumped into the pool to help Kian, but...


“Kian,” Vika checked Kian's condition, but Kian was unconscious, Vika sure he immediately lifted it earlier, lest he check Kian's stomach.


“Mother, let's take her to the mother's hospital!” Vika said and soon they took Kian to the hospital.


“What do you do?” His grandmother looked surprised to see Kian lying unconscious.


“Grandma." Vika was shocked by her grandmother's high tone, all this time her grandmother had never used a high tone when talking to her.


“Go,” Say Grandma while pushing Vika who will bring Kian until Vika fell between the garden pebbles that made her hand hurt.


“Come on, grandma will take you to the hospital!” His grandmother then took Kian and took him to the hospital. But when Vika was going to follow her grandmother strictly forbid it.


"If anything happens to my grandson, look at it later. You fucking carrier." Grandma said in anger.


"Am I really the unlucky carrier?" Ask herself because she remembers Lisa's words.


"Darling, your grandmother is panicking right now, don't think about what your grandmother said just now. Now stay home, I'll let you know." Say mother and go after grandma.

“When I came, the condition was critical and my mother continued to blame Vika, especially considering the incident that befell her son Varado - Father Vika-, the mother grew increasingly upset and asked Vika to leave.’’ Lina could not speak anymore, imagining how Vika felt at that moment she could not.


“Please Lin, it's all already happened and not your fault.’’ Anna calms Lina down.


“But An, just imagine, a 12-year-old boy is expelled from his school, blamed for his own comatose best friend, blamed for accidentally injuring his own sister, and blamed for the death of his father. I can't imagine how broken he was then. Then even worse, Vika only carries a backpack also 2 pairs of clothes and money that does not know how much he has. He did not even carry the piggy bank he collected for the last 3 years.’’ Lina could not hold back her tears.


Hearing the story Anna could not speak anymore, she was confused how to respond. The story is like the story in a soap opera on TV, a child who left home because he was blamed for a mere misunderstanding.


"Is that the reason Vika is being cold like now?" Ask Anna. He really wants to help Vika, however, Vika is a smart child and will shine more if he can face his problems.


"Eitherway. I need to know first, how's life been for the last 2 years." Lina replied, she felt she had to know that and what Vika was thinking.
