Wasted Child
The Wasted Child

"Rena! " Get out of this house and never come back! " His father kicked Rena out for the umpteenth time.

"Dad, what's wrong Rena? " Please explain dad? " Rena looked at her father without crying as she had.

"Because you made your brother cry and his beloved clothes you took". Go now, I'm the same mother won't see your face in this house again! " Suddenly her father took a plastic chair and threw it at Rena and luckily Rena was able to dodge so that the plastic stool did not hit her.

Rena ran out of the house only using the clothes she currently wears, but only 3 hours ago came home from school and wanted to eat but as usual, she said, Rena had to ask mom and dad if she could eat. If the father and mother are silent, then Rena is not allowed to eat. And just now when his father kicked Rena out, he was helping his father make 5 big ice candles and had to do it himself

Rena and her sister are 8 years old, while her sister is 6 years old. But never once did Rena get the affection and attention of both parents like her brother and sister.

"Lord, Rena is hungry", Rena's mind with a shunt walk and down. He just followed where his feet went.

" Nov, that's Rena, isn't it?" Dian pulled Novi who was waiting for an invitation after tutoring.

Dian and Novi are friends of Rena from Kindergarten and currently they are still in the same Junior High School.

"Rena, Renaul!" shouted Novi and Dian simultaneously and approached Rena.

Dian and Novi, why are they here? Have I walked away from home. Rena looked towards the voice of Novi and Dian who called out to her while running.

"Ren, where are you going?" Dian saw Rena's pale face and still wearing a school skirt while the uniform had changed shirts and did not wear sandals.

"The answer will be, Ren, eat yuk while waiting for my driver to pick me up". Novi immediately invited Rena to eat and pulled the hand of Rena and Dian.

" What do you want to eat, Ren?" Novi and Dian asked simultaneously.

"As far as you guys are, I'm full already, I've eaten".

" Ren, we both know for a fact that you haven't eaten. We are friends of Kindergarten, and already know what your family treats you like. I ordered it and you ate it. After that we drive home".

"Yes Nov, thank you".

After eating, Novi's driver picked up.

" Come on Ren, let's go home, let's take it to your house". Novi.

"Sorry, I can't go home. I was expelled with my father. You guys just go home, I'll let you walk again".

Novi and Dian are shocked, because Rena is again expelled by her parents. And always Rena who was made a scapegoat. Rena rarely eats because it is never allowed to eat, if Rena eats it because her brother or sister eat is not exhausted and collected by her mother in a special zinc plate for Rena to eat.

"Udah, you just come to my house and stay in my house until your father will look for you".

" No need Nov, I don't want to bother you guys all the time".

"Look, Novi immediately grabbed Rena's hand and invited her into the car.

Along the way, the three of them did not chat just silently.

" En in yuk Ren, it has arrived" Novi said as he opened the car door.

Rena follows her two best friends into Novi's house.

"Mama, are you home?" Novi was shocked because suddenly his mother opened the door.

" I'm sorry Ma, later Novi explained, Novi changed clothes first Ma. Yuk Dian and Rena to my room".

"Excuse me Auntie, go inside first well said Dian and Rena berbarenga.

"Have eaten yet" cried Mama.

"Already Ma, we've eaten".

"Nov, I want to go well". said Ren

"Please tell me why the hell, I changed clothes first and I kept telling Mama".

Dian nodded her head in agreement with Novi.

The three of them came out of the room and approached Mama Novi who was sitting in her study.

Mama Novi is a doctor in one of the famous hospitals in Jakarta.

"Ma, I'd like to talk to your mom for permission. Rena stayed here for a few days. Can Ma?"

Mama Novi looked at her son and Novi's two friends in surprise

"Isn't tomorrow still school? How do you want to catch? Did Rena bring a change of clothes and school clothes for tomorrow?"

"Sorry Aunt, Rena is troublesome, Rena says go well Auntie".

"What's this about? Mama Silvani stared at Novi asking to be explained.

"Gini Ma, Rena was cast out with her father. 2 Weeks ago Rena was also kicked out with her father and hit with a wooden spoon to cook it until the bruise of her face. Then called her parents Rena, finally Rena can go home. But apparently his sister does not like Rena. Her sister wants Rena kicked out of the house and doesn't have to go back".

"Mama knows how Rena is from childhood. Try Mama lift her clothes Rena, it's a blue bruise on her body and back Rena because she was beaten by her father". Novi said while holding back his tears so as not to spill remembering the events that happened to his best friend from childhood.

Mama approached Rena and lifted Rena's shirt, how surprised Mama Silvani to see her bruised body. Then immediately went to take the ointment to reduce the pain in Rena's body.

"Here's my dear Rena, aunty ointment so you don't have fever and pain".

" From today, Rena lives with Aunt and Novi also Om".

" Now Rena rest well, later at 7 pm we have dinner".

'Novi, take Rena to the guest room, let Rena sleep there"

"Dian, you're getting home with the driver. Aunty called your mom and told me that you were out playing lessons at Novi's house. Be careful, baby, greetings to your family".

" Good aunt, thank you. Dian pamit go home. Bye Novi, Rena, until tomorrow at school well".

"Yuk Rena, go to your room, so you can rest".Novi took Rena to the guest room.

After Novi came out of the guest room, Rena laid herself down on the bed. The mattress is different from the mattress I have. I'm just given a thin bed. Rena cried considering today's events, Rena never allowed to enter the room of her brother and sister, how could the clothes of sister torn as I. While my room is next to the same kitchen and the room of brother and sister next to the room of father and mother in the middle room. I'm actually the biological son of a mother's father or not? That question has always been on Rena's mind from childhood. Tired, Rena finally fell asleep.

When Rena fell asleep Novi and his mother talked about the condition of Rena. And finally Mama agreed that Rena stay with them and stay in school. All Rena's school fees will be paid by Mama Silvani.
