Oh Arunika
Arunika Teen

Author

It was late at night and a while ago Arunika and her mother had already finished dinner. Mom's already in room–middle room, their rented house. While Arunika chose to stay in the front room, he said he wanted to watch because he was not sleepy.

Though not so. His mind was disturbed by all the mother's stories. The reason the father has not liked him and often does rough just because he was born a woman?

Arunika does not think, the father who has felt life in the era of globalization now still has a colot thought, saying that having a daughter will ultimately only take care of the house?

Is not the gift of a boy or a girl the most beautiful gift from God? Hasn't women's emancipation been around for a long time in this country? And, has not the father lived from the results of the slamming of the bones of women, namely himself and mother? So why is the father until the end of his life still able to think that the woman is useless? Arunika smiled miris.

It flashed back in Arunika's memory every time she got paid. The factory where he works pays his employees with cash. You are definitely waiting at the caskrong coffee shop and will block Aru road to ask for money. Men are shameless. If it is not given in accordance with the required nominal, it is certain that Arunika will not bring any money to the house.

There are many ways Aru does so that his father does not find his money, including also leave it to friends or save in the bank. But his father also did not run out of sense in order to get money.

If his wish is not fulfilled, the man will tear apart the contents of the house to find money or valuables and sell them. A smartphone that has only been purchased a few days Arunika is also one of the victims. His father also will not hesitate to borrow money on loan sharks that make Aru and his mistress mother to pay him. Indeed, the man called Arunika the father does not deserve to be a role model.

It is not counted how much Arunika and mother have to bear the consequences of the actions of the father. It has not been counted how many times Arunika and mother have to thicken their faces on everyone will behave father.

Now Arunika can breathe a sigh of relief. Himself and also the mother will live well and quietly without the shadow of the father again. But that does not mean Aru is happy with the departure of the father in a sad way like a police story when the day. Not at all.

“You're not sleepy?” Mom's sudden presence and questions startle Aru. The girl hastily wiped away the tears of vain*lan who had somehow dared to pool in her net.

“Iya, Mom. Aru is sleeping soon,” he replied. “Mother why wake up?” Arunika avoided the gaze of the mother who was trying to scrutinize her face. His hand was still busy wiping away the puddles of tears that he felt were still there.

Mom grabbed Aru's chin so she could see his daughter's face freely. “You're crying?” Aru shook his head with a twitching eyeball, trying to hold back the tears that were urging to come out. “You can't lie, Son.”

I can feel how sad Arunika, the only child of the puppet. Who does not grieve if the biological father does not want his own child. “It is natural that you cry after hearing the painful story of Mother earlier.” He also wiped away the traces of his daughter's tears that were slowly beginning to shed. “Cry, let your heart be relieved.”

At that very moment Arunika spilled the pain in her heart by crying. Hope by crying the pain is also wasted.

“One I regret. Mother did not manage to restore the nature of your father as before until death picked him up. If only your father was not affected by the environment and association, you would not feel this kind of pain, Aru.” Mother's voice shakes with crying.

Yes, mother was right. If only father like father in general, of course Arunika will agree with the phrase, ‘ayah is the first love of her daughter’.

Arunika tightened her embrace on Mom. The tears of the two women were racing out. Let this be the last cry about you. Because tomorrow and beyond there's no reason for them to cry. She will live happily with my mother.

Arunika, a teenager wearing a blue white uniform, was walking in a hurry, even occasionally running small. The sun is moving west. Today he had to come home late from school because there was a group study. The group's study was held so suddenly, that he didn't tell Mom this morning. Aru is afraid that her mother is worried about her. And Aru also worried about Mom because this morning before leaving school her parents were bickering.

Telling the mother with a communication device is impossible. Aru doesn't have a device. Miris. In this day and age, communication has become the primary need of everyone.

But it's okay. Arunika did not demand that the mother buy herself the device. If purchased, it will certainly not last long. There are fathers who can take it anytime.

Arunika accelerated her footsteps. Soon he would get home, then eat, then go to the mother's employer's house to help the work of the woman he loved so dearly.

“Wait!” The hand-check on Aru's arm made him take a few steps back. Aru turned, “Bapak?”said surprised. “Detach, sir, pain.” Aru tried to take his hand off the grip of the father who hurt him enough.

“You Father called not heard. Are you deaf?!” The impact completely blinded Aru's ears, until it buzzed in his drum. The glint of anger that was clearly visible in the eyes of the father made Aru even more afraid.

“No, Sir, no. Aru did not hear the Father calling,” replied Aru timidly. The truth is so. In Aru's mind at this time is to quickly get home to know the state of Mother.

“Much talk!” He pulled Arunika's hand by force. Aru with a drawn hand was forced to follow. Sometimes trying to release the hand from the grip, but Arunika who is still a teenager is not that strong to fight the power of the Father.

“Where are we going, Sir?” ask Aru wonder. Because the road they are going through right now is not the road to their rented house.

“Silence and come with me. Don't talk much!” Again, he confirmed his words.

Finally they arrived in front of a large house. Aru rubbed his arm from the grip of the father who had just been released.

“You're serious about what you say, Herman.”

But his father did not allow Aru to hide longer behind his back. The man placed his palm on Aru's back and invited him to approach the terrace of the house. Teenage girl who does not know what exactly the purpose of the father invited her to the house was frowned upon even though reluctant.

There were three men sitting in a chair. One of them is well known by Aru. Not because middle-aged men are special in their neighborhood, but because they are famous for their divorce.

Arunika saw the chessboard and its pawns on the table. There's also money there. From seeing that alone, it is certain that the fathers are not enviable individuals, just like their fathers.

“Come, here, here, here,” invite the man who has the distended stomach while standing from his chair. Ask Aru and Father to come sit with them.

Arunika did not want to move from where he stood even though the father had given an ultimatum through the look of his eyes, so that he would obey to sit. But seeing the eyes and the disgusting smiles of the three men who were no longer young made him start to fear.

Arunika turned around and was about to leave from there. But the Father swiftly grabbed his arm back tightly. “Where are you going?!” hardik the Father with a deadly look.

“Aru wants to go home, Sir.” The girl tried to take his hand off her arm. But what power, his smaller hand than the Father of course will not be able to do that. Arunika is better to be scolded or beaten by the Father than to be here. His heart said he would not be okay if he stayed there any longer.

“Cannot!” Back Father pulled Aru to approach the three disgusting men. “Come, don't fight!”

You even dragged Aru who at that time chose to sit on the floor, hoping by behaving so, you will pity him and not force him again. But, Father is still Father. What is desired must be realized. Even Tears Aru who has now scattered not immediately make the Father to stop the action.

“Beauty, why are you crying? Your father just wants you to massage my legs. That's it.” The Stomach of the Big Pot aka The Married man approached and tried to touch Aru to calm the girl down. But this even makes Arunika teenagers increasingly hysterical.

“Aru won't, Sir. Aru don't want to!” The poor girl brushed off the disgusting hand of the Bigot that was about to touch her shoulder. Arunika roar to invite neighbors to see what happened.

So that those who see not more, the Father asked Si Buncit to bring Aru into the house only. Of course, the man who had not been widowed how many times was happy to agree.

“Bapakk!!”The resolute voice of a woman stopped their steps that almost reached the door leaf. Upon seeing who came, Arunika revolted from the hands of the despicable humans. The distro took it off, but not with Father.

Mom ran with the energy she still had.

“Mother...” Arunika was crying softly.

“Let go of my son!” Mother threw out my hand so strongly that the man's grip was released. The frightened Arunika immediately hid in Mom's arms. “Come, Son, we go home.” My voice has now turned soft.

“He can't leave here!”

Mother kept leading Aru to walk. Ignoring the orders of her husband who had turned like that monster.

“I said he can't go!” The voice of the Father is rising. But Mother remained indifferent. Teen Arunika still crying.

“Alright, take him away. But don't blame me if tomorrow I'll sell it.”

“Crazy! You're crazy!” Mother turned around because she did not expect what the Father had just said. You are a person who doesn't just talk in the mouth. He will really do what he says. She pushed him until the man backed off. Arunika was crying bitterly.

“Yes, I'm crazy! I'm going crazy because this girl is a girl!” The father again grabbed Arunika's arm until the girl complained. “Why don't you just die when you were born first!” The hateful eyes of the Father pierced Arunika.

Arunika suddenly saw the hand of the other Father holding a knife that was ready to be thrown at him.

“Ibuuu!!”

Arunika sat down from her sleep. His breathing was roaring and his forehead was sweating until it dripped down from beside his jawbone. Aru turned to the side and saw Mom sleeping. It spreads the view. It turns out he was in the room.

Aru stood up leaving Mom to go to the bathroom. He took one dipper of water and washed his face several times. There's a little glass hanging in there. For a moment he looked in the mirror at his pale-looking face.

“Even dead, Father did not let me live quietly.” Arunika smiled bitterly, her tears came out without asking for permission.

The incident that Arunika dreamed of had indeed happened when she was a teenager. Not with a man holding a knife.
