The Shela Story


Time showed at 20:15, and Parto asked permission for Shela's mother to return home immediately. She does not want to be Shela and her mother to be the talk of neighbors for too long to receive male guests in their home.


Thank goodness the rain has also stopped. There was no longer any reason for Parto to continue lingering in the Shela family residence.


"Mas.you be careful on the road, it's malem. Don't speed it up" Shela's mother said as Parto kissed her hand to say goodbye. Unlike her caring mother, Shela is even engrossed in her phone in the room. She's meeting with Parto again. Her tiny heart always said that Parto was not a good person to avoid.


"God Budhe.matursuwun sanget, has been allowed to take shelter here, even to bother to eat as well.. And this is going to go home still brought by-by, I'm not so good this Budhe,"


Shela's mother gave her a brownie baking dish. Parto who constantly refused him made her mother put the brownies on the Parto motorbike.


"Udah Mas. nothing, from that I said ewah-ewuh wae (but not only), this Shela even not nganterin Masnya go home how to, how to, kui kok saiki boy added ndableg (the boy is now more and more recalcitrant). La.. Nduk iki Masmu ameh bali kok kowe ndekem wae nek room, metuo La! (La.. Nduk this Masmu want to go home kok you mager aja in the room, out La!)"


Hearing her mother scream like that, Shela did not have the heart to remain silent in the room. He finally came out of his room and headed to the front of the house, where there was already a smiling Parto welcoming his presence.


What the heck is that person, smiling mutely. Want to show if he's great can take mom's heart? Don't dream I want to be your girlfriend. I don't like you!


Shela is not self-aware that she is more like dedemit less sajen when compared to Parto who from the beginning patiently ngadepin him. Why to Shela kok se anti that with the existence of Parto. The cake is wrong mulu, helped wrong not helped more wrong again..


Shela used to be a jolly and cute little girl. She is very affectionate with her parents, especially her father. He was so close to his father that he thought he was a real-life hero. Living a simple life in a small village, does not dampen the happiness of the Shela family. Every day laughter colors their family home.


Until one day, the desire of Shela's father to go to the city. He intends to change his family's economy, wants to increase income. Salary as a building porters in his village felt very less to meet the needs of his family in the village. Because building porters are needed when residents around want to build a house only. And not every day there will also be residents who intend to build or renovate his house, so at that time Shela's father was more unemployed than his work.


In the first year everything went well. The father was always diligent in giving news and sending some of his payday money from working in the city as a private driver in elite housing. But, in the second year after the departure of Shela's father to the city all turned out to be not okay. His father rarely gave news, the monthly money that was usually sent to Shela and his mother never arrived again. There are just reasons that he said every time asked for a monthly allowance.


Feeling something was wrong, Shela's mother was determined to investigate her husband in the city. Shela was only seven years old when she was invited by her mother to go see her father in the city. Because Shela's mother did not have the heart if she had to leave Shela to her neighbors or parents in the village when she left. Shela's mother did not want her family problems to be a material hibahan in the village if until she left for her own city and left Shela with relatives, neighbors or parents. Especially if the parents of Shela's mother knew at that time her child's marriage was in trouble. It will definitely add to the burden on the parents mind.


In short, having actually reached the city and found the address of her working husband, Shela's mother is struck by the fact that there her husband, the father of Shela.. the man she once loved so much and was proud to be the only priest in her family turned out to be married to PRT who worked one-stop with her husband in the city. Her heart was completely broken, let alone seeing the crying little Shela wanting her father to come home with them to the village but not be informed by her husband.


Shela's cry at that time made her mother very sorry, why she invited Shela to come with her to the city to find her husband's whereabouts. In the bus that drove them back to the village, the occasional sobs of Shela were still heard. This made Shela's mother more devastated, she did not expect the marriage that lasted nine years could run aground due to the temptation of other women in the city. Whether the husband is seduced or does like to flirt, in fact, the shadow of a happy little family until they age together and smile to see grandchildren grow up, he said, although later one of them called the Creator has now disappeared. It left a scar even though the story had been very long.


Added to the ridicule and boasting of the neighbors because they thought Shela's father went to the city and turned his heart there because of the demands of Shela's mother who wanted to live with the wealth. Those who know nothing but feel like gods who know everything. Judgment without knowing the facts.


Year after year Shela went through with the ridicule of neighbors, often she fought or fought when the pain in the heart was unstoppable. But after hearing her mother's advice, Shela became a little controlling.


"Sir.we have only two hands, which says we are a simple person.Of these hands we use to cover their mouths one by one, better use it to cover our ears. Learn stupid times with their talk, we eat our own sweat, right? we never ask for it with them. Cry today but before your tears are dry, you should be able to smile again.. You mother's child, you mother's spirit, don't make the mother's spirit destroyed because you see you grieve because of their words yes.."


Always crying after her mother gave her motivational sentences like that. Yes, shela is indeed a jutek girl, nyebelin, chatty, and difficult to approach and it's all because of the ringing of the mouths of neighbors that make it what it is today.


Then why is he also anti-Parto, Parto is not one of the neighbors who bless him and judge his mother? Because according to him, Parto is just imaging, good only made up. It could be that every time he was hit by a disaster there was always a Parto there as a hero of misfortune. He was sure Parto was not a good person, it was according to him himself. Because he often met people like that. Well in front of her, but behind Shela they follow her gossiping whatever Shela and her mother do.


"Go back!" Said Shela who saw Parto smiling towards her.


"Huussis.. You're not very polite, by the way,"


Shela pouts when she scolds her mother.


"I'll go home first to Budhe, Dek.. Assalamualaikum," Again Parto kissed the hand of Shela's mother. As a form of respect to older people. Shela's mother smiled at the manners that Parto showed.


"Waalaikumsalam warahmatulli wabarrakatuh" said Shela's mother.


"Nduk... You do not salim with Masmu?"


Shela glared at her mother's words. And once again Parto smiled happily, like she had won the Olympics alone.


Here Dek. salim same Mamas.
