when my patience makes me successful
part 4- an insult

POV author

After the incident that night, the next day my father really took me away to move from my mother's house. Even my own father helped me to clean all my clothes.

When we want to leave, my mother did not prevent. I could see the look on my mother's face smiling sinisterly towards me.

Suddenly there was a sense of joy in my heart. You defended me, and took me away from this house of torture.

"Sir, where do you want to take your brother?". I asked when we were on the way.

"Son't live with Mila, huh? Kan ma Mila already has no husband anymore, so it is not a big brother to hesitate because there is a man in his house. Would you like to, brother? Just for a while." Answer

I smile. "Dad sir, brother wants. No papa if brother is there sir ? Did Uda say the same to Mila? I'm afraid you'll be there so make it hard for Mila." My toot.

Madam Mila is her father's sister. She was in her husband's house just died. About 4 months, because there is a disease.

"Udah, calm down. Mila's own mother who told father to make Bawak brother stay in his house. So you don't have to worry." Say to convince me.

I also nodded. A sign that I understand what you will discuss next. I understand very well what you feel. Not that I chose love. Nah! You are just confused as to which to defend. On one side was his wife and on one side was his son.

You must be confused. If you defend his wife, his son will be disappointed. And if the father defended his son, his wife would also be disappointed. So this father is like a simalakama fruit. Confused about which one to choose. Because both of them mean the same in your life. But in the end, my father had made his choice by taking me away from that house.

Arriving at his father's sister's house, I was welcomed by the owner of the house.

"Hopefully stay at home mom. Yes this is mother's house, as it is." Said ma'am Mila.

" Yes ma'am, no papa. Gini Kila is also already seneng ." Answer me.

After taking care of all my clothes, my father said goodbye, because he also had to go to work.

I've been living in Mila's mom's house for 3 months. There is no more torture I think. There is no maki caci as well which I have to hear every day, because Mila's mom doesn't scold me.

Until at the end, there is a male friend who intends to stop by the house. Before he came, I asked Mila first, if my boyfriend could come, and Mila allowed him.

"That's who you were?" Ask Miss Mila, when my boyfriend has come home.

"Temen kok ma'am." Answer me.

"Ou yes." Say ma'am Mila .

******

I haven't seen him for 3 months and this time I see him again there is fear in my heart.

At first everything was fine, until at the end of his father wanted to go home, and suddenly my stepmother approached me.

"You bring men to this house. Uda is great are you huh! I'm not ashamed if you're the same as you're limping. Do you think anyone wants to be the same, huh. Think about you first. Miss Mila you're a widow, keep suddenly no men come to the house, what people will think." Said my stepmother.

"It is not Wak. People know for sure. Yes, when the young people jumpain me, yes certainly jumpain Kila is. The soul mate is the rhino who knows Wak. Could have been his friend Kila was apparently his soul mate." Madam Mila said to my stepmother gently.

I could only quietly listen to what they were talking about in front of me. There is no intention to defend 'cause certainly in the eyes of my stepmother I am the one who is always wrong.

Is it wrong there are male friends who intend to stop by the house? Can't I be friends with men? Is that as bad as my illness ? Is it true that my stepmother said, that there will be no men who intend to marry me? . My God, I'm all handing it to you.

***********

The next day, just as I was about to step into the kitchen, I heard whispering. But strangely, the sound of whispers was as if it sounded clear in my ear.

I also approached the sound of the whisper. Apparently the direction is in the backyard of Miss Mila's house. I hid near the kitchen door that connects with the outside.

"Yesterday sopo to ,wong Lanang who stopped by neng omah you mil?"

(Today who the hell, the guy who stopped by your house miles?)

" Ouh iku, you know Kila Wak."

(Ouh that's , his friend Kila Wak).

"Oh, I thought sopo. Temen opo men'e. Yes if the guy'e, kok Yo Eneng ya the rumble de'ene. Wes limps in a jit."

(Oh, I thought hello. Temen what a guy. Yes if the guy , why would anyone want to be with him. Uda limps it up).

"Yo I ra tau Wak."

(I don't know Wak).

Tess! Instantly my heart was like a burning ember. Heat, pain that's how I feel. Why is everyone thinking it's always like that. Do I not deserve to be happy? I have no right to have a relationship with a man. Doesn't every creature have a partner ?
