Being Struggled Due to Debt
CHAPTER V
Gabriel did not reply to a question from Aunt Mona, he instead sat down on a bench located not far from the bed, while looking at his daughter who was sitting by the bedside. His eyes were reddened, and still sobbing his prey. Aunt Mona who felt herself ignored by Gabriel, she no longer asked, she chose silence while rubbing Ayunda's long, unraveling hair. While Gabriel who is still dissolved in his emotions is shocked by the sound of ringing from his mobile phone. Gabriel reached his hand into his bag, pulled out his cell phone, his eyes looked at the phone, Peter's name. She was the secretary at the shop where Gabriel worked. Gabriel then pressed the green button on the right side of the phone.
-- Phone calls connected.
Gabriel fearfully scolded for not coming in, instantly giving an excuse to the secretary sir
“Halo sir good afternoon, sorry I can't go to work today Because my leg is sick, I beg you permission yes pak”
“He sir, but I don't mean it” said the secretary across there.
“Continue what does sir?” mean Ask Gabriel curiously.
“I'm sorry, well pak” said the secretary who made Gabriel even more curious.
“Why plead sir, I never had a problem with me”
“Pardon me, the decision of the boss, the father should be fired, because currently the income in the store is very small while the expenditure is large. So, sorry once again well pak” explained Peter the secretary.
“Pak whether, can not be considered again. I'm right, never alpa work, even this is the first time” bargained Gabriel.
“Can't sir, it's been a very unanimous decision from some of the considerations I did with the boss. The one who was fired was also not his own father, but there were about six people who were also in-PHK” Peter replied. “Later father's salary, along with a thank you sign I will process, and send it as soon as” continued Peter, and immediately decided to call.
Upon hearing the news, Gabriel's body instantly lost power, he threw his phone on the bed, followed by his body falling flat and stiff, his body so limp.
“Dad.. dad why?” Ayunda shook her father's body.
“Daddy is okay baby, please get me a glass of warm water for daddy”
Aunt Mona rushes to the kitchen, she picks up a white glass decorated with a golden flower that reads Papa on the table, Aunt Mona filled it to hear the hot water half a glass also added cold water half a glass. Then bring it back to Gabriel.
“Let's wake up, here's the water” pinta aunt Mona. Gabriel got up and drank the water. Gabriel seemed to have calmed down a bit, after he finished drinking, he gave Ayunda an empty glass, and placed it on the bedside table of his father and mother.
When Aunt Mona, seeing Gabriel had calmed down, she asked permission to return home. “Ayunda, aunty came home first well, want to cook because. See this vegetable aunt seems to have withered”
“He aunt. Thank you” said Ayunda while spreading her sweet smile. When Aunt Mona had left them Ayunda asked her father why she was like that."
“Daddy heard the bad news”
“What news?” Ayunda continued to ask.
“father was fired from the place where dad worked” heard the answer from his father, Ayunda immediately respect his right hand hit his forehead and said. “Oh My God's. How, dad can pay debts”
“Honey.. How many times have you said, if your father has no debts” snapped his father.
“Sorry my father, I forgot”
“He, I'm sorry. Dad also apologized well, because it snapped you earlier”
“Tadi, you cried?” Ask father.
“No dad, I don't cry” Ayunda replied lying. But Gabriel felt that his only child had been crying ever since. Because, the feeling of a father, to his son is never wrong, let alone a daughter. There are many people who say that if a daughter is very close to her father and vice versa, if there is a daughter in a family, then the love of a father will be greater to the daughter.
“Dad knows, you cried” Gabriel said as he approached his son. His hands were wide open and wrapped Ayunda in affectionate arms. Ayunda who felt a warm embrace from her father, she hugged her father again.
Through various kinds of drama that they both experienced, even to the extent of adding a new character in the drama, they both realized that the time outside was already very bright, the wall clock was pointing at Nine in the morning.
“Let's go shower” his father's orders.
“Ok my father took a shower, yah” Ayunda used to leave his own father in his room. He rushed to the bathroom.
In his solitude in the room, Gabriel regretted his actions earlier. Because all this time, he was always able to maintain and control emotions, but this time the emotions that control him up, he applies inappropriate to his son. Moreover, his child is still small, his age still requires full affection from both parents. While what Gabriel did was, yell at his son.
“hahhh, I'm a bad father” Gabriel said as he lowered his head he covered his face with two hands. He still felt sleepy, his eyes still looked like panda eyes. He finally went back to sleep. His sleep was also not long, just a few minutes, he was disturbed by Ayunda who invited him to play cooking. “Dad, let's play” shouted Ayunda. The scream was not heard by his father. Because, the father was asleep.
“Dad let's play” shouted Ayunda once again. As usual his father did not hear, he finally went to the room to approach his father. “Ya erahh, even sleep” he said softly. Forced Ayunda to return and play alone, but the length of play he felt bored. “Do I have to build father” he said inwardly. He then took a small pink box decorated with various types of flowers. The box was a gift from her mother when she won the class last week. Inside the box contained ten small rolled pieces of paper, at the top of the cover it said ‘The Luck’ Box is very neat. This box is used almost similar to the repeal of lotto. How to use it should be with a blindfold, then choose a roll of paper, if get the paper with the inscription ‘yes’ then he can wake his father, if he can wake his father, then he can, but if he gets a paper with the words ‘no’ means it should not.
Ayunda did his ritual. He opened the lid of the box, then put it on the table and then closed his eyes tightly and chose the rolled paper. When he had chosen the paper and opened it, it turned out that it read ‘yes’ which means he can build his father.
