Athena came early in the morning. Every now and then, his mouth opened until the corner of his eye let out water. This morning, he was very lazy to meet Feby and Nasha. For that reason, he left for school early in the morning.
In fact, he was elected to the Olympics, and it could have made him angry again because of the accusations at that time. Sucks.
Athena put down her bag and intended to walk around for a while. Athena passed class 12 IPA 5, class Abel and Liam. Athena peeked into the classroom, who knew Liam or Abel were already in school.
And apparently, the assumption is right. Although there was only Abel there. At least he had a chatter friend.
However, Abel appears to be contacting someone. Athena didn't come in. and eavesdropped. Not polite:v
"Hello mah."
"....."
Athena could not hear the voice of someone talking to Abel because of the distance. In fact, Athena hid behind the wall to avoid being discovered.
"Abel want to ask for a little time, can you?"
"....."
"It's still 25 minutes, isn't it, mah? I want to tell you a little story."
"....."
"Tap-"
"....."
"Tung-"
Tut
Abel kept his phone away from the ear limply. The girl bowed her head and cried silently.
Athena approached Abel who seemed to need a backrest (?)
Abel raised his head and looked at Athena in shock. He quickly wiped away the tears and smiled.
"I'm sorry, I was flickering. Why, Na?"
Athena sat down next to Abel and immediately hugged the girl. Abel fell silent.
"Not with a story and cry can reduce all your burdens? You can tell me your problem, and I will try to be a good listener. You can make me a backup when you are sad. Don't be alone, sick."
Abel hugged Athena back, and came back crying.
"Na, don't I deserve affection? Why is my mom always busy with her job? What's more important money than me, his son?" The thing that had always been he pendam began to overflow, and ready to explode.
"Gue can't be selfish. But I also want to have love. I know I'm selfish when they're looking for money for me."
Athena stroked that fragile shoulder and smiled faintly. She was happy, finally Abel told her and did not keep her alone anymore.
"Look, yeah. You are not selfish. A child deserves love."
Abel took off his embrace and looked at Athena with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"How can I get love?"
Athena smiled.
°•°•°•°•
Abel stared at the door of his house and hoped the two people he was waiting for would come soon. Abel gave false news to his parents through Bi Lilis. Although Abel knew he was very selfish, but he also did not want to always succumb to the papers that in fact only the inanimate object.
The door opened, and he saw the two men waiting very much. The two people looked at Abel in shock.
"Abel, not..."
Abel stood up and smiled welcoming the two people.
"Sorry mah, pah, Abel lied."
Naura-sang mother looked at her daughter in disbelief. In fact, her husband was just as surprised as his wife.
"Why are you lying? You know, mommy is just as busy. The news about you being sick is quite severe it makes mamah not calm."
Abel squeezed his shorts while looking down.
"Mahs. Abel is not a physical pain, but a mind." Abel said slowly. However, in this quiet room his voice must have been heard clearly until the ears of his parents.
"Just get to the point, Abel." Hendrik - Sang Papah.
Tears that had been trying to hold him finally shed. Abel lowered his head deeper and closed his eyes tightly. He could not see the expressions of his parents. He will follow the advice of Athena.
Led to your feelings.
"Mah! Uh!"
The two men were shocked when Abel suddenly shouted.
"A-is the work of mamah and papah more important than Abel? Abel sad mah, pah. Mama Samah always wanted a job from Abel. Abel also wants to be a priority. Abel also wants other children who can tell about his daily life to his parents. Abel needs the same love papah."
Abel smiled faintly. "It's like begging, huh, mah, Pah?"
"Well, ma'am want no belhenticejja. Uh, anjir, pickled."
Abel regained his senses and looked at his parents in shame. In such a serious situation, the talk is even grubby. Abel cursed himself which destroyed the atmosphere. Maybe his tongue slipped.
Naura suddenly laughed softly. Abel looked at his annoyed mother who even laughed. Come on, she's so embarrassed, plus she's crying in front of them. He didn't want to say crybaby!
"Moment." Abel Whine.
Naura approached and hugged Abel. Abel fell silent. There was a slight feeling of relief in his heart.
"Mamah will talk to you about this. Sorry, my mom is always busy. Thank you for realizing that you are the same papah."
Abel looked at the smiling papah looking at them. Abel smiled and returned the warm embrace.
"Thank you, Pah. Abel happy. But if you can't stop working, at least spare time for Abel. Can you?"
Naura smiled sweetly and nodded. "Yes. Mama will try."
"Thank you!"
"Thank you too, Athena."
