PROMISES

Aji's father was named Aldi. Aldi is known as the figure of a husband and a dream father in the eyes of his neighbors. But Aldi has begun to change in recent years. He became a rude and arrogant husband and father. Aldi rarely comes home. Every time he came home, he just took his clothes into a bag and then left again. I've asked her many times, but she's kept quiet.

There was a fight in Aji's family.

''Where are you going? just until home already want to go again yes already, do not remember Aji and Wulan, they have been waiting from yesterday pah eh you go home just to take clothes'' said Aji's mother.

''Plakkk!! a hard slap was obtained by Aji's mother.

""WHISPER!! CAN YOU SHUT UP OR NOT?" snapped Aji's dad.

"Why can you slap mama?" ask Aji.

"Aji, coming in is none of your business, it's papah and mamah" his father said.

"Obviously this is Aji's business, papah has hurt mamah, why can papah slap mamah?" ask her father.

Plakkk!! a loud slap was given to Aji.

''Papah, why is papah so rude to Aji?" ask wife.

''Just let him be a child, but already meddling with his parents' problems, who told him to get involved?'' snapped dad.

''Aji, go first into your room yes son, later mamah treat your cheeks'' said his mother.

"Yes" Aji said as she sobbed in tears.

''Papah, you don't understand why papah changed like this, is there another woman out there? until papah changed like this" said his wife.

''No need to interfere with my problem, now you get out of the way, I want to go, '' said her husband encouraged his wife and immediately left her.

''But papah'' said his wife.

Fitri awakens and goes to look for Aji.

''Aji, where's your sister Wulan?'' ask mother.

''In his room'' said Aji.

''After, please get me the medicine first'' said his mother went to take something to treat Aji's cheek.

"Yes mah" said Aji.

''Akh is sick mah'' Aji moans in pain as her mother treats the wound on her cheek.

''Hold dear'' said his mother.

''Why is papah like us? papah doesn't love us anymore huh?'' ask Aji.

''It's okay dear papa still loves us, maybe papah is still dizzy with work so papah like that'' said his mother smilingly stroking Aji's hair.

''But mah'' said Aji.

''I'm sorry not to think about it again, now you better rest, mamah want to shop at the market first, lock the door baby, mama bring the spare key really" said his mother.

''Yes mah'' said Aji.

“Wulan, open the door” said Aji in front of her sister's room door, Wulan.

''Come in, the door is not locked'' Wulan said as he pleased.

''Why are you crying?'' ask Aji.

"Mas, why is Papah being so rude? does Papah not love us anymore?" asked Wulan who immediately hugged Aji.

''The words were mamah, papah just dizzy with his cooperation anyway, do not cry anymore dear'' said Aji wipe away Wulan's tears.

''But Papah still loves us, right?'' ask Wulan.

''Yes, baby, cupp.. cupp.. cup, don't cry again ya deck'' said Aji patting Wulan's shoulder.

''Yes, my cheek still hurts?'' tanya Wulan pointed at Aji's injured cheek.

''No really, mamah has treated it just now' said Aji smiling.

''Mas, where is mama?'' ask Wulan.

''Mama is shopping at the market, you just rest, do not think about it again deck'' said Aji smiling down his sister's body.

''Yes mas'' said Wulan.

Aji left Wulan's room.

''Aji, Wulan, let's eat first son, this is mamah buy your favorite meatball chicken noodles" said his mother.

"Yes" replied Aji.

''Where's your sister Wulan?" ask mother.

''Maybe he was sleeping in his room, Aji will look into his room for a while, '' said Aji going to his sister's room.

''Yes dear'' said her mother nodding a smile.

''Oh, Wulan is sleeping again" said Aji peeking in front of Wulan's room door.

"Wah, Wulan is sleeping" said Aji.

''Wake up son, tell him to eat first, he has not eaten will be sick again'' said his mother.

''Iya mah" said Aji.

"Wulan, get up, eat first, mama buy chicken meatball noodles tuh, later stretch the noodles are not good if stretched, deck wake up''' said Aji patted Wulan's shoulder.

''Eat first, the noodles do not taste good later" said Aji patting Wulan's shoulder.

''Yes, Wulan wants to go to the bathroom first to wash your face, you are just as good, eat first, '' said Wulan.

''OK, don't be long'' said Aji.

''Yes, bring it" said Wulan left her.

''Where's your brother dear?'' ask mother.

''Wulan wants to wash his face first he said, that's the person, here, sit'' said Aji to his mother when he saw the arrival of Wulan.

''This was eaten first, son, mamah to the room first yes dear" said his mother moved to go into his room.

''Yes mah'' said Nawang and Aji kompak

When she wants to put dirty dishes into the kitchen, Aji feels her head is very sick and intends to look for a cure for dizziness.

''Why wear dizziness all the time? where else is the headache medicine? I know what the dizzy medicine is, call Shivanya aja, why it is turned off still crab definitely nih son, call again akh, Shivanya lift dong, why turn off again, why, try again if once again not lifted I gedor-gedor door of his house, well finally lifted too" said Aji when the phone call was connected.

''Assalamualaikum Denya'' said Aji.

''Wa'alaikumsalam'' said Shivanya jutek.

''A very rough answer, like a tiger who wants to pounce on its prey" said Aji.

''Why are you so annoying?, why are you calling? is there anything very important? until you call me" Shivanya said

''It's okay, I just want to talk, can't it?'' ask Aji.

''No, you're so annoying, I don't want to talk to you" Shivanya said.

''Hm okay, I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry, beautiful Shivanya Nerissa" Aji smiled.

Hm.

''This is wrong again?, so what should I do?'' ask Aji.

''Salto from the top of the Eiffel Tower'' said Aji.

''This is a real person yes, who is dead if I do that stupid thing'' said Aji.

Ahaha!!

''Are you very happy when I die?" tanya Aji smiled with tears in her eyes.

''Aji istighfar'' Shivanya said.

''Why?'' ask Aji.

''Why do you say it like that? remember, SPEECH IS PRAYER" Shivanya said.

''What if I die? you're lonely without me? Ahahaha!!" aji laughed at Shivanya.

''Usually, even good, there is no one as annoying as you" said Shivanya.

''That's what Astagfirullahaladzim is? sure any?" ask Aji.

''No, don't go, you have promised me to never leave me, why do you want to leave me now?" ask Shivanya.

''I already know you can't live without me'' said Aji.

''What the hell Aji, I can't live without oxygen, not without you, who are you? we're not halal yet so why can't I live without you?'' shivanya said.

''You want halal?'' ask Aji.

''What the heck Aji, we are still small, have discussed it aja'' said Shivanya.

''Hehehe I asked, if I want to later I paused if it is big but haha'' said Aji laughing.

Shivanya who heard a happy voice but she did not want Aji to realize it.

'What is Aji?, don't talk anymore" said Shivanya.

''Does that mean you want it?'' ask Aji.

''What are you saying? I didn't hear it" Shivanya said evasively.

''That'' said Aji.

''What?, I want to take a shower, goodbye'' Shivanya said.

'Ciee must be gerogi again, must be red cheeks, ngaku aja" said Aji meledeknya.

''No, my cheeks are normal, no flushing" Shivanya said frantically.

''Think?'' ask Aji.

''Yes, I'm going to take a shower, see you, '' Shivanya said.

"Assalamualaikum" said Shivanya.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Aji.

''Why is he so great? he could restore my foggy mood to a bright one again, I don't know why, but whenever he gets angry, I'm actually very happy to see his behavior like that, what is this called love? do I love her? love can make small things big, love can make someone happy and I admit if I am happy to be next to her, should I express my feelings to her? whenever I discuss the issue of love, he is always the main topic, maybe at this time he still doubts me, maybe for now he still can not love me, but I will keep trying, maybe for now he still can not love me, but I will keep trying, so that he could love me, if not now, I'm sure someday we'll be together forever, living on the same roof, I promise, we'll never be apart, we'll never be apart, even when we grow up, I promise to still choose you, no matter how beautiful the new woman who comes into my life, I am willing to accept all your shortcomings so that we can be together forever, she said, I promise you Shivanya Nerissa" said Aji staring at the ceiling of her house as she shed tears and smiled.

Elsewhere, Shivanya was also thinking about Aji.

''Could I love him? she's a bitch but why is it that a day without her I always miss her? is this what is called love? can I love him? her annoying behavior makes me feel good, I want us to be together, but is that possible? you promised me you would never leave me, will you keep your promise until we grow up? you are very handsome, when we grow up, surely you will be a handsome man who is desired by many women, surely many women will approach you when we grow up, is it possible, is it possible, will you still choose me? although I will not be as beautiful as the woman who approaches you, are you as good as Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. who can accept all the shortcomings of Siti Aisyah? can I trust your words? I love you even though you may not love me, I will always love you until we grow up even though later my love claps one hand, if you only know, if I really can't live without you, speech is prayer, right? right now I can only say something good so that later it can lead us to a good path anyway, why do I think of you? I better sleep" said Shivanya who immediately closed her eyes.
