TRUTH #1

            How long have I lived my new life now

I get bored of what I have. I live my life with rotation

that's so-so. The teacher, to the cafe, and back to my house, so on.

I was bored with my life. And today I'd better go to Mom's, please,

maybe by meeting him I can get the color of my life back.

It's Sunday too, I thought.

            Before I decided to go to Mom's house, I

decided to call him first. I took my phone then

call Mom, and of course connect.

“Assalamualaikum Bu.”

“Waalaikum greetings, what's up

kid?” ask Mother.

“I'm bored, I want to

meeting Mom at home. Mom's not going anywhere kan”

“Mother at home, really,

comeoverhere. And bring Zulfa here.”

            I was amazed, I always wanted to meet

that woman, this Sunday anyway, she must have gone with her lover.

So where might she want to come with me to see Mom.

“Nugy” call Mom again.

“I-iya bu.”

“Why are you silent.”

“Ti-it's okay bu.”

“Why? You don't want to

bring him here?”

            I can't possibly tell Mom that she's already

having a lover, you can feel sad later. But I don't know what to either

how in this situation.

“He must be busy with

mom's family, or maybe she wants a wife in her house. So I can't bear it

bothering him.”

“Try making sure first,

who knows if he wants to,” tell Mom to me.

            Mom always forced me, and I couldn't possibly

rejecting my mother.

“Ya I've contacted him

used to.”

“Iyaa, stay here

if he can't come.”

“Iya buk, Assalamualaikum.”

“waalaikumsalam.”

            Then I turned off my phone.

            I'm still holding my phone, I'm very hesitant to

call Zulfa. But it's impossible to lie to Mom if I don't go there

take Zulfa because he can't come. Mommy must have found out about me so easily

who is lying, and of course he will be angry with me again. Want to not want me

I even asked myself to call Zulfa. And it seems to be directly connected.

“Hallo,” said

just there.

Why

he always just quickly picked up my phone, I said in my heart.

“Hallo Nugy what is it?”

call again.

“O-oh no, no Nothing,”

answer me

“Then why are you

my menlefon?”

            God, I've always been wrong with this woman.

I inhaled my breath deeply and then I exhaled.

“You're busy day

this?” much

“No, I'm home”

the answer.

“Do you want to come

with me?” ask again.

“You want to take me

whither? The reply.

            Oh, my God, I was wrong again.

“Look, I want to

to my mother's house, but she wants me to take you there.”

“Ohh if I can't

how?”

“Ga-nothing, maybe

next time just.”

“OK thanks Zulfa,”

connect me and turn off my phone.

            I became so embarrassed, my instincts already said

that she's definitely not going to go with me, she's at home probably

waiting for her boyfriend to come to her house.

            But yes, the important thing is that I brought him in,

and he couldn't, so I didn't have to lie to my mom.

            I was wearing my shirt, I took a shower this morning

after I had breakfast, and it's still 9 in the morning, I'd better hurry

to go, so as not to return home.

“I went to Mom's house first

mbok,” said permission to the Mbok who was washing.

“Iya den Careful,”

his reply.

            I walked out of the house to my car.

“Kang dayat,” call me

to my home security.

“Iya den.”

“Udah is not hot yet,”

I said while pointing at my car.

“Udah kok den.”

“Okay thanks yak.”

“sama-sama den.”

Then

I got into my car when I started my car. My phone boerdering like

whatsapp messages are coming in. I looked at my phone and there was a message coming in from Zulfa.

            come get me home, I'll come along

            I'm glad I didn't read this message, I was straight away

just move to pick him up.

Uh but where's the address?

I said in my heart.

            I opened my phone again, and saw the message, it turned out

he also sent me a share location. I opened it and looked at the location

his house was not far from my home. There's still one vision.

I deserve to meet

with him at halte that time, I said in my heart.

            Come on, I'm driving my car straight to

his home with a happy feeling.

…

This is his home, this is his,

I say to myself

            I pressed the doorbell in front of me

this, a big house is like my house. I rang the doorbell suddenly

a security man came out from behind the fence.

“Ada mas?” tannya

at me.

“Not a location

address?” I asked to hand my phone to him.

            He also looked at it carefully. Then look at me.

“Who is this?” Ask

any more.

“I'm Zulfa's friend, he

who sent this address,” I replied casually.

“ooh you Nugy huh?”

“I-iya.”

“Please enter, already

awaited inside.”

“O-oh okay thanks Sir,”

my reply.

then

go inside this house. Who's waiting for me? my wonder.

I

seeing the door of the house open, but I was very reluctant if I had to go straight

step inside.

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam,” reply

the inhabitants of the house from inside.

            Then one of the women came out of the house, I didn't

knew him.

“Sorry, who are you?”

ask her while smiling at me.

“I'm Nugy, the menu is Zulfa,”

politely replied.

“Who?” ask someone

who followed the woman from behind.

            I see it as normal, I don't feel scared at all.

I believe this man is Zulfa's father and this woman before me is

Her mother's.

“This!!! he said he

your son,” the woman replied to her husband.

“What's looking for my son?”

tanyanya firmly.

            I was surprised, not that he told me to come

to pick him up, now I even like being bullied like this, I asked

in heart.

“I want to go to my mother's house,

and I want to take Om's son along. That's why I'm here,” answer me

“How dare you

taking my son, you forced my son on the grounds of meeting your mother,” he said

like trying to scare me.

            I really feel a little offended

he said, I never humbled myself to force any woman to

coming with me.

“I didn't force it, I

just offer him, and he's willing to come along, and then tell me to

pick her up at home.”.

“But it looks like om

objection.and I'm a little offended to hear the word Om. I never force

women to come with me..”.

“Then I bergitu

excuse me, Auntie. Sorry to interrupt,” I said casually then left

them.

“Hey wait,” call

that man was to me.

            I just looked towards them.

“Come in,” invite him.

            With a feeling of wonder I also obeyed him to enter.

I followed the two of them from the back to the ararh shirt eating this house. And

this makes me even more surprised.

“Sit down,” tell him.

            I touched the hands of the two men and sat down

before them.

“Why are you new

slammed me?” tanyanya firmly.

“I only greet people

who did not put bad feelings towards me,” I replied flatly.

“Although older

from you?”

            I just nodded and didn't answer.

“Call Zulfa here,”

he said to his wife.

            Then his wife went to call Zulfa, and before long

he was with his son to come towards us. He sat next to me.

So our position is now right in front of these two parents. I saw Zulfa

she was wearing neat clothes, but I watched her eyes as if they were gone

crying out. I'm starting to understand a little bit about what's going on right now.

Looks like they want to

scold us, I said in my heart.

“True. Is this your friend?”

Ask the man to Zulfa.

“I-iya Pa” Zulfa replied.

“SINCE WHEN YOU DARE

TELL MEN TO COME TO THIS HOUSE?” tanyanya snapped at Zulfa.

            Suddenly I was shocked to hear it, I saw Zulfa

the one next to me, he was so scared. I really can't bear to see it

snatched like that.

“Sorry Pa,” answer

ogre.

            He seems to want to cry. But I didn't know I had to

how does. I'm not able to understand any of this either. If this Papa is not

allow men to come here. Then why did he tell me to come? then

how'd she go with her lover all this time? does the father not know that

she dating? I'm going crazy thinking about all this.

“I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN

SORRY YOU, TELL ME YOUR REASON,” he snapped again to his own son.

            I was still silent and looked at Zulfa who was just looking down

terrified. Why does my heart hurt when I see him treated

like this, even though he's the Papa, but he shouldn't be treating

a woman like this, what else is this her own child. I'm starting to not stand looking

this, but I'm still trying to keep myself calm.

“I'm bored at home, I

want to go play with him,” said Zulfa slowly.

“BOSAN?”

“BRAVE YOU SAID

THAT IN FRONT OF ME?”

“THEN RAISE YOUR FEET

MU FROM THIS HOUSE,” he said snapping at his son Bertubi-tubi.

            I became more and more unable to bear to see this. My emotions began to peak.

“Already Pa, you're too

exaggerated she is our only child,” said the woman calmed her husband.

“I DON'T CARE!!”

“I DON'T NEED A CHILD

LIKE THIS.”

“BASIC CHILDREN LESS AJ—”

            Her words were cut off as I held her hand

about to slap zulfa. I really can't bear to see him scolded

like these.

“It's overrated,”

I said slowly while looking at this man sharply.

“TURN? YOU WANT TO

KICK ME?” tanyanya.

“I have no reason

to beat you up,” I replied firmly.

“THEN WHY YOU

HOLDING ME?”

“I can't stand to see

women are treated like this in front of me.”

“WHAT'S YOUR BUSINESS? HE'S MY SON.”

“I don't care if

it's none of my business.”

“YOU WHO DARE

FORBID ME TO BEAT HIM.”

“last? I must be

who's for her, so you don't do that to her,” I said starting to get emotional.

“I'm His Papa, at the moment

she's not married, so no one can forbid me

this is against her unless she already has a Husband, then her Husband is allowed

banned me.”

            I just kept quiet hearing his words. I don't know Zulfa

like it or not, but I don't care, I just want to save him from

this heartless man, I don't care about his girlfriend, I will

marry her if it saves her.

“YOU KNOW?” tannya

by starting to yell at me again.

“IF THAT IS WHAT

CAN MAKE HIM FREE FROM YOUR AMARH. THEN I'LL MARRY HER. NOW ALSO.”

my reply was firm with my tone that had started to grow bigger and my eyes were staring intently

to this man.

            My heart is really hot, I can teach a man

this is if it continues like this.

            I don't care what I do, I just

wanted to save him from his father's anger. I still look at him, I

looking at his eyes that seemed unexpected for what I said, so

also wife.

            Well I'm so aware, it's only natural that they're shocked, I've

saying something in front of them. But I never flinch

with my words.

            A little while we were silent, they looked at me in wonder,

then I became a little doubtful of what I said. Suddenly the man earlier

Bursting with anger, he laughed.

“hahahahah

HAHAHAHHA.HAHHAA.”

            I could only be confused to see him laughing

alone, and not just me, but his son and wife are like that too.

“Why? What

actually happened?” I asked the man in wonder.

“Hahahaha it is not

whatt. Go take my son,” he replied instead of telling my son to go over

her child.

“HAH?!” me and Zulfa

shocked and astonished.

“This time you really

exaggerated acting Mas,” said his wife.

“HAHAHAHA, this guy

very interesting, so I deliberately overdo it a little,” replied.

“Whatever Pa, I'm Bener-Bener

don't know if Papa's acting anymore. I swear I'm so scared Pa,” whine Zulfa

while hitting his papa's arm.

            I'm still trying to digest all this inside

my brains. I'm still confused by what happened just now, she's just acting,

and what the purpose is I don't know. Not even Zulfa knew. Ahh

I became more and more unable to think. I got pissed. Myself like

being played by this family.

“So go, you

want to take my son to your mother's house, right?” ask the man.

            I just nodded not answering.

“Go later you guys

kemalaman,” tell him.

“Ya we've left first

Pa, Ma,” said Zulfa while greeting his parents.

“Ayo,” invite Zulfa

to me.

“i—ya.”

            I also went without saying goodbye to her parents,

I was still very confused, we both got in the car, then left

that house.
