Although sometimes considered non-existent, stay


being with my mom is enough


fun for Magnolia. He's not finished


thought, with her peerless beauty,


it was impossible for my mom not to


make a man bend his knees to him. But, uh,


mom still chooses to be loyal to papa and


flinch every one who offers themselves


to be his replacement.


It was also what made Magnolia determined


will be a faithful woman like a mother


stay strong even though her husband is double. Although she


it is the result of the actions of the father with


women other than mama, Magnolia never


I am sorry that he was born that way. He is currently


thinks he doesn't understand papa's reasons, yet,


but later, he'll find out at least


about the origins of her mother's family.


Papa is an only child. Grandpa and grandma


coming home at a very young age, dying


together while performing worship on the ground


the saint left a boy


then forging himself was unusually hard


until he became a state servant. They


also have another grandmother, a grandmother's brother


they are at the moment. Magnolia is not


know them. That family anyway


living in a remote area in West Java, Indonesia,


near the hills that Magnolia doesn't remember.


Every time he asked his mother,


the woman always avoided him.


But, this morning, Magnolia met mama


before the beautiful woman leaves


working as a staff in one of the buildings in


SCBDS. The morning was as usual


just a review of the powder and thin lipstick on the face,


but, it made Magnolia smile and


imagine his own appearance when


got makeup like that.


"Well you see me?" ask mama ketus.


Magnolia just came out of the bathroom


behind the house and about to dry


his clothes were washed. He's not finished yet


squeeze his shirt when mom passes by and


the sparks wet the trousers


black from my mother that morning


I'm drying the towel."Wet all my pants. You have eyes


no, anyway?"


Mama pushed the body of the Magnolia the moment


he did not see his presence. Day indeed


it was still dark, only five o'clock past thirty


and it's not usually mom comes out when she


it's in the back yard.


"Sorry, Ma. Where is wet? Yaya help lap."


Magnolia just picked up a clean towel


which he hung on the clothesline for


cleaning water splashes in mama's pants


when a woman is forty years old


Magnolia slumped to the side.


"Guardo lo's hands. It's good I stay


it's here."


Magnolia's trying to help


mom can only look at the kids


stairs to the back door of the house


be silent. He nodded slowly as his mother


without closing the door again


a rough slam that made it


closed eyes.


"No Mama, no brother, everything is sensi


lookatme. I need plastic surgery


Beyonce and Megan Fox are so dear


they?"


Magnolia hasn't even gotten out of place


he fell over and just sat down


the ground while stroking his calf


kicked with a black mom's leather boot


he guessed it was expensive.


"Blue stuff, it's like." Magnolias


sigh, "shouldn't


kicked. Slowly speaking, I am definitely


sliding. I didn't see my mom coming."


Magnolia rubs her eyelids


many times, try to stay strong but in fact


his eyes are getting hotter and stinging.


"What is it, anyway, dear Mama Blama? I


very envious see Mamas same Keke hugged every


evening, invited to pray together. Where my mother went,


Oh God?"Magnolia tried to smile


blurred vision. She should


start the day with a cheerful face but


mama's actions just hurt me


her heart. My mother did not torture


physically like a stepmother in a soap opera, but


sometimes, the silence of the woman hurts


he is deep.


Being abandoned, abandoned, is torture


the heaviest he's ever received and regained


three money, he likes Malik who has a nature


almost the same as his stepmother. Magnolias


until I don't think about the contents of his brain


by oneself.


Awake, Yes. Day is about noon. Lo still


must go to the place of rice Mak Karim. Today


there's a thirty-pack board to take


to school, Magnolia cheers her up.


He had to change his clothes and leave


as soon as possible. Today is Friday.


School came home early and after


there, he will go straight to the market proceed


sell laps as usual. Thereafter,


Magnolia will head to the terminal to sell coffee. He barely has time


to sad. Her tears should be immediately


remove it and more importantly of it all


is paying off the last installment.
