Wasted Child
Rena's father died

Rena broke down after cleaning her body. Her sister called but Rena didn't pick up, it was 01.30 in the morning. Many times a call from her brother, finally Rena lift up

"Hey, what does it mean on the phone not to pick up? Go home right now, dad's dead! And all your expenses are responsible. No reason, right now! Tut. tut's... Rena has not had a chance to speak, has been cut off from her brother.

"Yes, the road now". Rena immediately changed clothes and came out of the boarding house. As she was about to close the gate, Rena saw the light from the car. Rena does not know that Budi has not returned, Budi deliberately did not come home so that tomorrow morning Budi can deliver Rena work and apologize for the incident earlier.

Rena walked and ignored the lights from the car. Rena had to get out and walk up the highway in order to take a taxi. Budi immediately ran his car and approached Rena who was walking. Open the window of his car.

"Rena, where are you going? It's late at night. Come home Rena, rest and sleep".

"I have to go home, my father died Budi".

"I have to go to the ATM first to get the money because of all my father's burial fees, I have to pay for it". Rena looks confused. Before leaving, he had taken the ATM from Om Bram to be used to pay for all the burial costs of his father.

Budi got out of the car and led Rena into his car. They stopped at the ATM so Rena could take the money. Then go to his parents' house.

At his parents' house there were already several people. Rena immediately took her father to the hospital to make sure that his father was dead or could still be helped.

His sister and sister were also his mother only at home, they did not go to the hospital.

After getting reassurance from the hospital that her father was dead, Rena called her brother that his father's body would be brought home, but it turns out that her brother asked her father to be buried in the funeral home only. Finally Rena contacted several funeral homes, after getting, Rena immediately took care to bring her father's body to the funeral home. At 9 am, everything is done in the funeral home.

Her mother, sister and sister came to the funeral home and they were seen crying because of the departure of their husband and father.

Rena already called the office if she doesn't get in today. Budi saw from the beginning until his father Rena buried, no crying, Rena deftly take care of all things until the cost problem.

"Sister, I'm going home for a while well, today's dad's birthday". Can Sis?"

"Go away, you just go home, do not need to attend our father's event, and regarding the death papers of father, you also have to take care and responsibility. This is the document used to take care of the death certificate. And where's the money for a 10 million tahlilan".

"Sorry Brother, Rena's money is 4 million. Rena has no more money.

" Here, the money and the rest later when you pay! Know ye!

"Good Sister. Mother, brother and sisters, I went home well, assalamu'alaikum".

But there was no answer from them. Rena walked and next to her was Budi. Rena hasn't had time to eat and drink. Rena saw the clock, Rena can still go to college, because today the lecture entered at 6 pm

" Rena, I'll drive you home. You haven't slept since last night".

Rena nodded and suddenly Rena fainted, fortunately Budi next to Rena. Budi picked up Rena and put her in her car. Budi brought Rena to his home. Budi put Rena in the guest room and asked her maid to make food for Rena and herself. Go to her room and take a shower. After getting dressed, Budi laid down his body.

At 7 pm, the maid knocks on Budi's room and tells him that dinner is ready. Get out of the room and go to the guest room. He knocked on the door of the guest room but there was no answer. Budi asked his assistant to accompany him to enter the guest room so that when Rena woke up, Rena did not think of anything.

Budi shook his head, He tried to wake Rena up. 15 minutes later Rena woke up, and Rena felt her body hurt all and her stomach was hungry. Rena saw there Budi and old mother.

"I where? ask Rena weakly.

" You're at my house Rena, because you fainted. So I brought you into my house so I could be looked after by my maid. You take a shower and change clothes, I asked Auntie to buy clothes at once inside because from last night you have not changed clothes, have not rested and have not eaten. After that you can eat, Auntie is cooking".

"Come Non, aunty help, the clothes have been washed aunty so will not itch when later worn Non. Sorry if the shirt is too big. Aunty was buying her body size Non".

Step out of the guest room. Aunt accompanied Rena in the guest room. It turns out the clothes that Aunt bought, fit in Rena's body. Auntie and Rena went out of the room and headed for the dining table. There is Budi waiting for Rena.

"Rena, are you good? Let's eat, don't say no, you have to eat, let's not get sick".

Rena nodded and she took the food. Rena was trying to eat, so that her stomach would not hurt. After eating, Rena wanted to go home to the boarding house, but Budi did not allow it and Budi asked Bibi to accompany Rena to sleep in the guest room.

"Non, auntie temenin well, don't make Non, aunt see Non tired. Not getting a massage?"

"Ngga Bi, thank you?".

Rena looked at the ceiling of the guest room in Budi's house. Suddenly Rena cried, From starting to take care of her father's funeral, Rena did not shed tears at all. Rena cried until she made her body tremble, aunt immediately ran to call Budi because she saw Rena trembling, aunty was afraid of anything happening with Rena. Budi immediately ran to the guest room and saw Rena who won. Budi immediately hugged Rena because he saw Rena trembling. Budi tried to calm Rena, until finally Rena's body did not tremble anymore and fell asleep. Look at Rena's sleeping face. Budi shed his tears when remembering from a small thing until finally the funeral of his father Rena is completed and Rena is not allowed to join the tahlilan. Budi also felt the sadness that Rena felt and was also tired. Finally, Budi fell asleep while hugging Rena. Aunt saw her master fall asleep, slowly coming out of the room.

At 03:00, Budi woke up, still in the same position. Budi kissed Rena's head and tried to put Rena to bed slowly.

"Geez, I'm sick, don't hit Rena, instead of Rena picking up sister's clothes. Pardon me, Rena came out because Rena wants to go to the bathroom and want to drink". Budi immediately rubbed Rena's head to calm down.

" Fatty daddy, Rena just want to drink, why Rena watered hot water, dad, sick dad. Rena's body hurts dad, pardon me, don't hit me again. Rena's body is sick father, pardon father, sorry Rena father".

Budi was shocked to hear the words that Rena said while asleep.

"Mother, Rena hungry? Rena can not eat with father, mother, brother and sister, right? Rena hasn't eaten since yesterday. Dad, can Rena eat? Forgive me, do not throw the plate again, yes Rena did not ask for more food, Rena clean the broken plate first, only later Rena entered the room".

" God, Rena is hungry, Rena's stomach hurts, Rena's hands got broken by a shard and was twisted the same father kept his head kicked the same brother. God, why is Rena being punished for continuing to be the same father? Rena's really whose son? Why don't mom and dad love Rena?

Budi who still hugged Rena, cried. So suffered little Rena. Budi saw that God is Great, because it has protected Rena until now. Rena's struggle to be able to until now to be recognized by her family made Budi not stop crying. Rena, you are a strong woman, your childhood is gone as Aunt Silvani told you. Rena, I will make you happy and protect you. No one can hurt you anymore.

"Rena, wake up Rena. We pray at dawn". Budi let go of his embrace and woke Rena up.

"Yes"

Budi and Rena dawn prayers
