Being Struggled Due to Debt
CHAPTER IV
Gabriel was surprised because, now his daughter had dared to refute the words of the parents. Tears dripped from his cheeks, his heart scratched a bloodless wound, but left a deep mark.
“Dad why? How come there are tears on her cheeks?” Ask Ayunda.
“Daddy is okay, it's just sore. See father's eyes reddened” Gabriel replied to a question from Ayunda, while showing both eyeballs.
“ayo, let's water these flowers, let her keep looking healthy and beautiful” Gabriel invites.
Hearing the invitation from the father, Ayunda then went to take the kingpin who was next to the donkey, Moonligh type and then he filled it with water to the brim. When he was full he brought and gave to his father.
“Nih daddy”
“Saying to help dad. Why should I give that kingpin, to dad”
“ehhh I forgot” said Ayunda with a face that looks shy.
“hahahaha..” Gabriel chuckles at his cute child's behavior. Ayunda then water the flowers one by one both neatly arranged on the terrace, as well as hanging. While watering he also counted the number of each flower turned out to be fifty flowers with different types. After everything was finished being watered, he again put the gagging in its original place. “Father all have been watered” reported Ayunda.
“Then, let's sit down with dad” bargain Gabriel. Ayunda finally accepted his father's offer. He sat down next to his father while telling him about all the things he went through last night. When he had not finished telling the story, his father immediately cut in and asked.
“So, you met that guy in the field?”
“He father, back then, when I was with friends was playing there” Ayunda replied.
“Ohh means om it's dad's friend. He is new from his village, he also does not know the mother, so he does not want to meet with the mother” continued Gabriel, this time, he tried to clear his daughter's mind.
“Like that?” Ayunda rolled her eyes.
Ayunda was not convinced by the statement made by her father just now, because she had never heard that her father had a friend in the village. After all, when there are guests who come, be it the first new or have repeatedly come, to meet with his father. Of course, his father is home. Even if she wasn't around, she would call mom to tell her but this time it was different.
“Definitely dad cheated me, but yes already”.
“You why Ayu, how come Gabriel hit his daughter's shoulder, with the aim of letting her realize.
“I believe, you taught me not to lie. So, I'm sure what dad says is true.”
“then let's help dad, get into”
Ayunda who heard her father asking for help, she immediately rushed over. His style as usual, he carried his father, while the next hand of the father tried to hold on to every wall, so as to ease his body so that Ayunda did not feel too heavy. As the two of them limped, reaching into the room, when they were in the room, Gabriel took the bag and the brown jacket he was wearing. Seeing his father who is neat, Ayunda then asked “dad want to go where?”
“Dad to go to work” replied Gabriel. When he heard the answer from his father, his father immediately tried to restrain his father from going to work.
“father don't force yourself, that's your feet haven't healed”
“It's a pity I know, but I work by hand so, it's okay. The wound is also small”
“No dad, basically dad can't work today! Father's feet haven't healed point!” said Ayunda firmly. He hurried to pull the door. His hand held the door handle firmly and pulled it. “Braak” she locked her dad. Ayunda left her father inside. He was already outside the room.
“Ayu open! Door” shouted Gabriel tight
“No father, I will not open” Ayunda replied to her father's pinta in such a loud voice and high tone. To the extent that the neighbors who were around asked one another. One of them was Mrte Mona mother of Ayunda's girlfriend named Ellis who was buying vegetables, from a vegetable trader that morning, had to approach their house, to ascertain exactly what is going on. “Hana, Hana” shouted Mona while knocking on their door. However, Mona's aunt called repeatedly but no one replied. But he heard a voice from inside the house, a voice with an unusual tone. Finally he decided to go inside, Aunt Mona walked on her tiptoes and slowly went inside, shrouded in fear, because if anything happened she would be the one to witness. But aunt Mona walked in a different direction, should be to the left but, aunt Mona chose to the right. Just how many steps, he was surprised by the sound of shouting from Gabriel “yu you do not volunteer! This is dad's order, quickly open the door!” pinta Gabriel's. Now it's not unusual, because Gabriel was banging the door so strongly from the inside. He then turned towards the source of the voice he had just heard. Upon arriving at the source of the voice, he found Ayunda sitting on the ground, legs slumped, while his head lowered and his hands were rubbing his eyes. It indicates that Ayunda is crying. While his father inside was talking scolding him.
Aunt Mona who saw Ayunda like that, immediately quickly approached her and hugged her. Hugging her, Aunt Mona asked Ayunda. “You why Ayu”
“Ayu afraid aunt, from earlier, the father made a big sound” said Ayunda meweek. Aunt Mona again asked “What is the reason why your father could be like this?” hearing the question, Ayunda then cleared her tears and told her chronology. “It was originally, dad wanted to go to work, but I didn't allow him to go.”
“Loh, why? Your father wants to work, make money for you.”
“Ia my aunt knows, but dad is sick again. He has a wound on his knee that hasn't healed yet. Walking, still need help, he wants to go to work. He fears why in Jalan” explained Ayunda.
His father inside still told him to open the door. “Ayu, open the door, let aunty talk to your father” bargain aunt Mona. From Aunt Mona's offer at last, Ayunda opened the door to the room. “Why just open the door now, dad is too late.” Firmly father. Ayunda answered nothing.
Aunt Mona and Ayunda went inside, and sat by the bed, while Gabriel, being angry because, his son had long to open the door. Gabriel scolded his only child. This time, Gabriel looked different. Aunt Mona then tries to provoke Gabriel's conversation by asking, “You why?”
