Uta & Alber [EN]
72. A Story Place

POV Author

Alber pulled the black guy over in the park area a little away from the heavy traffic. He thought Uta needed a calm atmosphere at this time. The girl just silently looked out the car glass. Not a word was said from his lips. So did tears, not a single drop flowed down her cheeks.

Although the girl was silent, but Alber was sure her heart was raging violently. The absence of crying Uta made Alber suspect that such a thing had often happened, until realized or not, the girl's feelings slowly became immune or even numb. But that made Alber even more worried.

"Mu ..." Call Alber gently to Uta who was sitting still, staring blankly ahead. The girl looked towards the caller.

"I'm okay. I'm okay." Her speech with a flat face and dim eyes, as if holding back tears, was inversely proportional to what she had just said.

"It's okay to cry Ta." Alber sincerely said. Trying to understand, if indeed Uta wanted to express what feelings are in her heart now.

"No, I don't want to ..." Undone Uta said what she wanted to say, Alber had already hunted her into his arms.

"Alber let me go." Uta, who was shocked when suddenly Alber hugged her, had revolted to escape from Alber's embrace. But what power, the sturdy arms did not even shift in the slightest. The man was too strong to lock Uta in his arms. Because of that, Uta slowly no longer resisted. For a moment they were silent without anyone talking.

"You can cry if you want to cry." Alber spoke softly to the girl in his arms. He could feel Uta's body tremble even though it was not so obvious, a sign of the girl shedding tears.

"But I don't cry, I'm ashamed to cry gini." He spoke with a voice holding back tears, but unfortunately the fact that he was crying, could not be hidden from Alber's hearing capture.

"Eat him Let's stay like this first. If you stay hidden in my arms, right, you can cry without shame. I can't see you crying either. So you can cry as much." Said Alber who kept hugging Uta. While the girl was silent with tears streaming down from her two eyes.

What Alber said was true, in Alber's embrace at least, no one could see his tears that he didn't want to stop flowing, including Alber himself. At the very least, Uta could cry as much as Alber had said.

Before long, Uta started crying. Let the tears that he had been holding back all this time, came out without restrained, flowing down the cheeks as much as possible. Sadness over the father's treatment, coupled with shame. Shame that Alber had witnessed all of that, making his feelings extremely painful, more than ever before. The heart that had been forced to hold everything in silence, this time broke out was like a time bomb.

The half-dead sobbing sound he held so as not to be heard by Alber, slowly more clearly echoed. That very sad sounding cry, slowly rubbed off on the person who was hugging her now. For some reason, Alber felt that the sound of crying was so heartbreaking.

"Aren't you ashamed anymore?" Tanya Alber who was still hugging Uta tightly. Uta answered with a nod, as if Alber could see her as she nodded just now. Alber did not see it, but fortunately he felt the movement of Uta's head like a nod.

"Has your Papah always been so to you?" Uta was silent, her breathing was choked. He is also surprised why Alber can sniff out the bitter feelings, which he wants to hide inside, without anyone knowing. On the other hand for Alber, with the silence of Uta, had indirectly answered what he asked.

A sense of pain attacks Alber's feelings. He could not imagine, how the pain Uta felt, must have been many times more than he felt.

"Do you share your grief with others?" Uta also fell silent unable to answer.

"Uta Arabella Lavanya ... Dengerin, I want to say two things to you."

"First, starting today you have a story place to share sad, his name is Alber Syargan Farabaks. The Alber will hear whatever you want to tell. You are free to tell any story, free to cry or not, and free to tell what time it is. Alber promises he won't be angry. He also promised not to buckets, even to his Annem Babam." Said Alber softly while patting gently on Uta's back. Although Uta did not answer and was silent, Alber could feel the girl crying again through her trembling back.

"Secondly, you must know that all children are precious, just as all parents are precious in the eyes of their children. Let the world say you are Alber, if you are Uta and not Alber, then you will still be Uta and will never be Alber. Want one world to say you are worthless, including your own Papah saying things like that, it does not necessarily make you a useless human being. Whether or not man is worth what he does, not what people say to him. And remember one thing, we are all God's creation. God never created anything in vain. We as creation must believe and believe in it." Alber said sincerely from the heart, still patting gently on the back of the girl in his arms.

"Alber you don't pat me on the back, I'm so much more crying when it's over." The girl's protest, then followed by a breakaway action, from the clutches of her classmates. He sat right back in his chair. Do not forget the rest of the tears with the back of the hand.

"He . he. he.. If you can protest, it means it's better." Seeing that Alber chuckled softly. Tissu was taken from the dashboard, for him to hand over to the tie girl. Uta grabbed the tissue Alber gave her. He also directly applied the easy-to-absorb object, to wipe some pooling points on the area of his face.

"Alber, I'd be honest but you don't get mad at me." Say Uta with a slow but serious intonation.

"Honestly what?" Answer Alber really put up good hearing device, if if Uta wants a story.
