When Love Passes Home
Part VII
The sky was already dark when Magnolia coughed
I don't know how many times. His head is dizzy and
mind's tangled. But his feelings at the moment
the most chaotic. I don't know what time it is
at present. All he knows is that Azan Isya is done
he has been talking since and he still is
sit on the edge of the mosque with a view
blank. His body shivered, his legs
naked, but strangely he did not feel hungry
he hasn't eaten since
morn.
Paracetamol can be called a food,
maybe he could admit he had eaten.
However, he did not remember swallowing anything other than
that thing. Since Dimas hit him and
he fled the house, the rain has
come down very hard. He who doesn't know
the destination was at last noon
I chose to sit in the mosque and cry
the full time of prayer.
Magnolia was not in pain at first
as he now feels. Possibly
the reason for that was because he was too sad and disappointed
as a result of Dimas's treatment that he never had
thought she was so obsessed with forcing him
he graduated from school and had to go to that school
same with himself. Not one or
twice Magnolia asserted that the body
and his brain is no longer able to absorb
the lesson well. He has to stay
sell to continue living. But, uh,
Dimas doesn't seem to understand.
Now, after she was tired of crying and water
his eyes could no longer compromise
again, he just let the circles go on
he came down without being able to stop it again. She's already
too tired to ask for her tears
not keep coming down anymore. His chest even felt
tightness and pain. But like her crying, though,
let the pain come.
He hadn't cried for a long time
tears at a time like this
like venting all the sadness since
left papa.
“Papa, Adek sad.” Magnolia lip bite.
He's not going back to that house. Mama
and Kezia even laughed at Dimas
beat him. If Malik doesn't hold back
dimas' body, he's probably dead.
I don't know, he's not sure Dimas can
doing so. But, the incident this afternoon was already
opened his eyes wide that yet
of course Dimas will protect him until he
mature later. Right now he is capable
forcing Magnolia to comply
if he refuses, he will be tortured.
Magnolia hugged her body firmly. Eve
cold rain began to seep into the bones
callosity. The jacket he wears is not
able to resist the wind that brings
water dots. He did not want to sit back
in mosque. In addition to the time of prayer
after all, he did not want to dirty this holy place
with his dirty body.
Magnolia leaned its head on one
the pillar of the mosque and its tears fell again when
he subconsciously called his body
sordid. Is the fate of another bastard the same
like her? Not wanted by anyone
too? So where are the kids
save themselves? Is there a family that
guarding him? Or they should
to be able to stay alive tomorrow
the day?
“Rome.”
A voice, deep and shady, yet profound
the Familiar has succeeded in making the Magnolia
lifting head. Her tears are still
puddle in the eye and so
looking at the figure that was currently sticking out
umbrella over his head, he quickly
removing her wet eyes with
back hand.
“Ngapain lo here?”
Magnolia pulled her jacket tighter and tighter. Him
I can't believe it, after it works
hiding for hours,
the boy before him knew his current position.
“Dimas like crazy nyariin lo from earlier.”
Magnolia lip bite. If it wasn't for
Dimas, he wouldn't want to come to the place
here and tell him to go home. Try it Dimas
choosing to sleep at home, of course he did not
it'll be caught sitting here like
orphans waiting for donations from
the pilgrims passing by.
“Let her know me. Also, why not
follow nyari.”
He should be happy because Malik is with him
volunteered to follow him to this place.
Because he heard with
his own ears that he could not bear
seeing her best friend so hurt, she
I had to go look for Magnolia.
“Lo back there. Susuin my brother. I don't
need him, don't need your mercy
all.”
The fucking tears are melting again.
All this time he felt strong and clingy
from anyone he could accept. Even so, though,
when I saw the young man who had been almost
never spoke to him, he stood up
weaving it under the roof of the mosque,
make it not strong anymore. Magnolia even
knees and trying to hold back the sobs
from then on, refusing to stop.
“Dimas panic. He should have gone home sooner
it was because our teacher was in a meeting at school. But, uh,
he chose to wait for you. So she
go straight to SMP and tell me to go back
first.”
Malik's voice sounded very soft. Voices
this is what he always heard when he was a young man
it taught Kezia. He thought, he wouldn't
I've heard Malik talk like this
to him at any time.
“But said friends lo, you are not in.”
Malik still stood up while paddling
Magnolia while the girl is still
looking down at my face as if unable
hearing words coming out of the lips
Malik. He was waiting for the moment
the handsome young man spoke. But no
like this, not the moment you have in mind
Malik is Dimas, a friend
he is most dear.
Like Dimas, Malik will
think it's wrong too. The most
the important thing for his brother is that he can
equal his brain, get into SMANSA, and
no need to embarrass the family. How
he can't be ashamed while he is
to be born into the world is the result of action
an embarrassment? My mom said many times that
he is an illegitimate child and Kezia is supportive
mother's greeting. Now he must return to
that place after Dimas didn't
consider him again a younger brother
according him?
“Gue no longer wants to go to school.” Magnolias
back up the head and current Malik
already crouching before him, still
holding an umbrella to protect
magnolia head and own head.
“He thinks school is easy? My brain is no longer
just like you guys. I think more about how
how to eat, how to get out of
the house, so that I am not considered
numpang live.”
Magnolia took a breath before she returned
talk, “Gue must act in front of all
people if I'm strong.”.
Magnolia again hides the face, the,
“He knows how I feel waking up
midnight, abdominal pain during mens and
I wish my mom would hug me once. I
I try not to let you know if I am not
his son, but he can't. My whole life, my,
I just know that she's my mother.”
His chest is sore and tight when he talks and
Magnolia doesn't know who's moving
his heart to speak like that in front of Malik
all this time they hardly
ever talk. Always him and
Malik will be deaf.
Magnolia tried to smile then
laughing at himself has
doing stupid things. Malik would
waiting for him to return and not
bothered to hear that stupid talk.
“Use this.”
Again Malik's voice made it
raised his head and somehow the boy
it was his black jacket
to Magnolia.
“Wear, keep us home. I told you already
Dimas if you can still follow UN
next week. He is waiting for you now
with dismay.”
Malik even took off his sandals
to wear Magnolia until the girl must
slap her own cheek and convince
if all this is not a dream.
“Abang, you're still sane, right?”
Malik did not answer. He prefers
stand up and wait for the Magnolia to wear
sandals and jackets. Because of that too, Magnolia
the nervous one then hurriedly put on
malik's jacket and sandals to the point of neglect
a few minutes ago, he felt
how languishing.
“Hold yourself umbrella lo. Buruan roads. I
it's not good to see two-duaing in a kayak mosque
gini.”
The conscious magnolia then turned to
he looked around and he was embarrassed too
to himself at this moment. Because of that, too, he
immediately received the umbrella given by Malik
then running around for chasing and
he was the step of Malik who had walked
earlier.
He thought it was over today. But
Malik found her, the neighbor boy
the front of the house that made it
hold out until this moment. The same boy
the one that was carrying a jacket, sandals, and
an umbrella for her even let herself
barefooted down the road
wet and cold tonight. He is currently
must have been dreaming, thought Magnolia. But, uh,
I don't know why, even though he knows Malik did
all this for Dimas' sake, he couldn't pull over
a feeling of pleasure in his heart.
That alone is enough to make it
happy back.
