Retaliation for the Mother
terror

Three weeks after Angga's death.

"Mbak, mbak" call Anto.

"Yes, wait a moment" Wati ran a little towards the exit of the house.

"What's the matter?" Ask Wati.

"I'm here to pick up the bike" Anto pointed at the motorbike standing inside Wati's house.

"Why?" Tanya Wati was confused.

"What's the reason? The bike is clearly mine now. You will know that my husband bought the bike using my half money. So yes now the bike is legitimate to be mine" explained Anto at length.

"But the word is Angga, the bike has Alfi rights there" replied Wati.

"That was mbak. When my husband was alive. All this time I did not protest when the bike was only controlled by my husband. Yes, now he is dead. So the bike is completely mine" Anto protested.

Wati was stunned to hear the words of her sister-in-law. As long as the late Angga was still alive, Anto never said rudely to him.

"Mbak will give up the bike nto. But there is no demand a little, if you Sudi to fulfill it" pinta Wati.

"Say!. Don't waste my time. I'm busy" Anto turned his gaze aside.

"Bak please if Alfi school later. He was allowed to use the motorbike for school. After school the bike will come back to you. That's all" Wati pleaded.

"Okay my request will be granted. But I also have a condition to mbak" Anto smiled cynically.

"Say what's the condition?" Wati.

"Every time Alfie uses my bike. Then I have to give you 20 bucks a day." Anto said without feeling.

"20 grand? Is that not worth nto? You know since your death it's been hard to get money. Boro-boro wants to eat well. Eating only rice we rarely nto. Just eating boiled cassava to prop up the stomach" Wati looked at Anto with sadness. There was sadness in his eyes.

"That's a big deal. If you don't want to already. That means our deal is off. But if I can't, I'll let Alfi take her." Anto left Wati on Angga's motorcycle.

"Mak. How'd you get your bike with uncle?" Little Alfie asked.

"That's not the pit bike. All this time I was just minjam with your uncle. So because you have no father, then your uncle took it back. You do not need to be sad, later if we have the sustenance of the mother to buy another new one" Wati persuaded and calmed the heart of Alfi.

Little Alfie just smiled happily at the mother's words.

(Flashon)

"Whya's mac?" Ask Alfie who went into the house.

"There is no pit. It's my mom's eyes flickering" Wati told a lie.

"mom don't be sad anymore. And don't lie to me, Mommy. I'm not a child anymore" alfi protested.

Wati smiled bitterly to see her son so hard to face the bitterness of life they were feeling.

Alfie left his mother. Alfime chose to take a short nap to neutralize the growing hunger.

Alfi's stomach rang indicating to be filled immediately. But Alfi was still reluctant, blood mixed with maggots was still in the shadows in Alfi's mind.

"Kecebong wicker tu si Lia. Because of him I can't eat. Where the stomach is hungry again" Alfi grumbled.

Without Alfi knowing Lia was already hanging in the corner of his room. Lia felt sorry for Alfi's life.

"How lucky I am to have been born into a family that is capable. When compared to Alfi, my life is more decent and more luxurious. Sorry, Lia's mom. Lia can't make mom happy. Even Lia has made mother embarrassed" Lia said in a sad tone.

"Ngapain you wail in that corner. Lu guess I can't hear you say" said Alfi who noticed Lia's presence.

"Al, you don't want to help me anymore. You know the locker where I used to store things at school. Open the locker and take the pencil box inside" said Lia.

"For what?" Alfi raised his eyebrows upwards.

"Take it first, later you will know what it is" Pinta Lia.

Alfi nodded in agreement to Lia's request. And Lia published a sweet smile from her lips.

"When are we going to get revenge?" Ask Lia. Alfie spontaneously gripped at hearing the question.

"Al, you're not lying?. You promised to help me get revenge" Lia recalled Alfi.

"Yes Lia. I always remember. When do you want to? I will follow him" said Alfi steady.

"Friday night Kliwon, about 3 days away. I will confirm our first target" Lia said as she disappeared.

Next day.

Alba went to school as usual. And when he arrived at school, Alfi remembered about Lia's speech yesterday afternoon to Alfi.

Moreover, the locker can not be opened at all, even though the key hangs there.

Alfi held the key hanging in Lia's locker. By saying Bismillah Alfi turned the key.

"Czech check" key successfully opened.

Alfi looked for the pencil box inside the locker. And it turns out to be true said Lia. Alfi immediately grabbed the pencil case and closed the locker again. Luckily, Alvin opened it in the morning. Where all the students have not been many who arrived, so that Alfi did not become the center of attention of other students.

Alfi brought Lia's pencil case into the classroom. There was no intention of Alfie to open it. Alfie kept the box in his bag.

"Why is Al saved?" Ask Lia who came suddenly.

"Astagfirullah, Lia. Habit deh lu kayak gini" protested Alfi who almost fell out of his chair.

"Hihihi, why don't you take a peek at the contents?" Ask Lia.

"This is not my right. So why do I peek at everything?" Alfie Cibir.

"Everything inside is for you Al" said Lia smiling.

"I mean-you?" Tanya Alfi really did not understand.

"Do I have to repeat the same word a second time?" Ejek Lia's.

"That's it, don't repeat it anymore" Alfi pretended not to care.

With lightning fast Lia disappeared leaving Alfi. Shortly thereafter, Alfi's classmates began to arrive.

This morning there was someone who caught the attention of Alfie. The man who since Lia's death no longer saw the trunk of his nose. This morning he came back to school.

'tumben once Fii was present, where was he all this time?' inner Alfie.

When the lesson hours began, did the teacher ask about Fii's whereabouts during this time?

"Fiii? Where have you been during your disappearance?" Ask buk wasila. No answer came out of Fii's mouth.

"Maybe he's mourning buk. For the departure of the beloved lover" said Iqbal who got a sharp gaze from Fii.

"Is that true?" Ask buk wasila again.

"Yep, it could be buk." Answer Fii while looking down.

Alfi just silently stared at Fii. As much as possible Alfi find out what is really happening behind the movements of Fii.

While Lia with a cunning smile, hung over the closet with a small laugh.

"You will get a reply to her yank" said Lia, who was able to make Fii raise his head.

'does he also hear the words of the inner lia' Alfi.

"What's Fii?" Ask buk wasila. Because Fii's attitude suddenly changed and looked confused.

"There is no buk. Let's go to the toilet for a second, okay?" Permission Fii.

"Newly also entered already want permission once" protest buk wasila.

"I'm kebelet buk. Really" Fii raised his index and middle fingers on his right hand.

Eventually Bun wasila allowed Fii to come out.

"Fun 5 minutes. If in 5 minutes we do not return, I make sure you will be expelled from this school" threatened buk wasila. Fii nodded in agreement.

Fii ran for the toilet. After entering the toilet, suddenly the toilet door that Fii occupied could not be opened.

"Hihihi" Lia laughed as she sat on top of the bathtub. His legs dangled down with a very scary face.

"Astagfirullah, forgive Lia, geez" Fii bowed while holding his head. Hope Lia's ghost leaves soon.

"How are you today, must be very happy, no" Lia said in a shrill voice. Fii turned to cover his ears so as not to hurt too much.

"Tok, tock, tock" as the knock on Lia's door disappeared as fast as lightning.

Fii got up and banged on the door from the inside.

"Woy. Please cave, cave in key" cried Fii.

Rinal who was about to throw hajad immediately pushed the bathroom door occupied by Fii.

"Well, not in the key really" said rinal confused.

"The oath was there that lock the cave from the outside. Hiiiiii was horrified cuy" said Fii with a face that had turned deathly pale.

With a quick step Fii reentered the classroom. Fii immediately sat down in his chair without much more drama. And Fii followed the lesson to the end.
