EXILED IN THE FAMILY

EXILED IN THE FAMILY
Debates


Since the events of that time, Dinda never again visited the house of the mother, and vice versa, her mother also never once met her. It's nothing, Dinda doesn't feel at all vengeful about her mom and sister. But he just wanted to keep his heart alone, so as not to hurt anymore. By moving away, maybe everything will be better.


There was a tightness that Dinda felt in her chest when she remembered how the mother treated her, and the tightness she still felt every day, she continued, considering her relationship with her family is not okay.


Rumors about Naira's wedding day have been heard around Dinda's house. Many of Dinda's neighbors have gotten Naira's wedding invitations. But not with Dinda.


Even often if Dinda again shopping for basic necessities to make ketoprak and shopping for staples to eat everyday at the stall, many mothers ask her about Naira's wedding, Dinda answered with a yes, yes, only. Because he doesn't know what to answer.


He felt so foreign to his own family. Unconsidered and unsearchable, due to different economic circumstances. Indeed many are like this, because of the state of the economy is destitute, so close relations are cut off because of it. And vice versa, because of the economic conditions are many and already excessive, people whose relationships are far away even closer, because most people are competing to approach the Rich, and the Poor are always ignored.

In the morning around nine in the morning when Bima had left around the village to sell her armpits, suddenly Siska, her brother Dinda visited her house.


Dinda who again swept the courtyard of the house that was not too wide felt shocked to see the presence of the brother.


Dinda kindly allowed Siska to enter the house, but Siska refused, saying she was more comfortable sitting on a wooden chair on the porch.


''What do you want to drink?'' dinda asked the woman whose appearance is typical like a socialite woman. A small bag seemed to be wriggling on his arm, in addition to his cellphone behind which there is a picture of an apple in the bite is also the middle he held tightly. Her long nails look beautiful with pink color attached.


''Emang in your house has any drinks?'' siska asked smiling mockingly. Hearing the sister's question made Dinda a little misbehaved. But he quickly became ordinary. Because the one who came first to his house was his brother, and it was definitely his brother who needed him.


''There is water, coffee, tea and milk, '' said Dinda.


''Mama, ''' Suddenly the flower came out of the house, and the flower sat on the lap of the mother. Siska did not greet her nephew at all, she was ignorant.


''Heh, I don't want to drink anything. Fear is not hygienic, Siska said again with a sentence that certainly denigrates Dinda. Dinda did not feel surprised anymore, because the nature of her Mama and her two brothers is the same, there is no difference.


''It's good that Brother doesn't want to drink anything, so I don't bother making it.'' Reply Dinda again. Dinda did call Siska Big Brother, even though they lived in the village. Siska asks Naira and Dinda to call her Big Brother. Let it be more slang he said. Siska does not want to be called as Ma'am, according to him the call is really colossal and tacky. Unlike Dinda, Naira calls Dinda Mbak, and Dinda is pleased with the call, which is important to be polite.


''You turned out to be a dagger now, yes. It turned out that what Mama said was true, Siska said cynically.


''I learned to be a belittle like you,''


''What do you want to do here?'' ask Dinda to the point.


''T-sook Naira will get married and have a big party, Mama asked that you go to Mama's house to help clean up. Wash tools and other,''


''I don't want to!'' Dinda said steady. There was no sound of fear from his tone.


''Heh, you must not be an ungodly child, Dinda! The mother no longer has money to pay for the services of a cleaner, so she asked that you help. So the family is useful a little.'' This time Siska spoke as her index finger pointed at Dinda.


''If Mama has no money to pay for cleaning services, let me pay. You guys just find the janitor. Um oh, yeah, do you still think of me as your family? How I feel all this time you guys only think of me as a maid only. As long as Papa is alive, only Papa cares for me. While you? Ah ... Nevermind.'' Dinda said as she smiled bitterly.


''It's so bad for you now, yeah. So I want to pay for cleaning services. Eat it hard!''


''Do you know where to eat we are hard? Has it been me and Mas Bima ever asked to eat to Big Brother? Ever minjam money to Brother? No, right?! Our house can be ugly like this, brother. But for stomach affairs we never beg anyone.'' Dinda took out all her junk that she had been craving all this time. Really, he felt this time it was his chance.


''Just look at you, I'm throwing it at your Mama. Let me know the taste!'' Siska stood up from her seat with a dead red face. After that he left Dinda's house with wide footsteps.


After the return of her sister, Dinda was only able to stroke her chest.


Flowers that do not understand anything are just silent, Flowers are engrossed with a new toy purchased by the father yesterday. Barbie doll toys are so beautiful equipped with her dressing clothes.

Upon arriving at the mother's house, Siska immediately pitted all the conversations between her and Dinda earlier.


Hearing that, the mother was furious.


''Udah, give a lesson to the man like Madam Dinda, Ma.'' Naira instigates the mother.


Seriate.
