Karan's father and mother. “ME AND MY LIFE'S STRUGGLE” “I HAVE NO CHOICE” "Around,,,around'''around,,," The sound of a telephone call from someone woke me up from sleep. I woke up and took my cell phone from the small table next to my bed. I glanced at the time and who was calling me. GOSH,,, aaaaa'''I'm late"I shouted after my eyes looked at the time on my small cell phone and it was already 8:30, I screamed as I got up and ran towards the bathroom, I didn't even have time to see the name of the caller. I get ready to go to work on my beat-up motorbike that has been used by my family for generations. I was in a rush because the clock worked every day at 8:00. ~~~~~ I am Kiran, an 18 year old girl who is obliged and forced by fate to work at my age when I should still be enjoying the time when I had to study at high school. I was trapped in a situation without a choice, I couldn't cultivate my selfishness between my desires and my family's happiness, I chose not to continue my education after I graduated from junior high school in order to work for my family. I was born into a small, beautiful family, I have 1 younger sister named Karan, my mother has a history of heart disease and my father is paralyzed, my younger sister is 5 years old. We live in a small town (West Java). Because of this situation, I couldn't learn to cultivate that selfishness. "BACK TO THE PAST" "Honey", it's time to go to school. Mom's soft voice woke me up from sleep and landed a sweet kiss on my forehead. Mom woke me up and prepared everything I needed, after which we went down the stairs because my room was on the second floor. It turned out that my brother and father were already waiting for us at the dining table for breakfast. Mom always made special fried rice with love and smiles for us. My father worked in a small company in the small town we lived in, (Cirebon), while my mother worked in a laundry not too far from our house, so my mother always brought my younger sister. Actually, my father had forbidden my mother to work because my father's salary was enough to support our needs, but that's how a mother is, she has a big soul to help her husband. ~~~~ After finishing breakfast, my father and I said goodbye to my mother and sister to leave. My father always took me to school and always kissed my forehead while saying, "You study hard, so you can be a successful person in the future." before he rode his motorcycle to the office.
Oh yes, I am currently in the 2nd grade of junior high school, so I am just one step away from continuing to a higher level. I have a lot of hopes that I want to achieve. I hope to become a doctor and have my own hospital so that if one day my father, mother, or sister, or even my grandmother, grandfather, and other family members are sick, I can treat them with love, I also hope to become a successful entrepreneur or businessman so that I can buy a big house for my father, mother, and sister, I can also hire people to do all the housework, so that my mother doesn't get tired of doing it, I also hope to be able to take my little family traveling, taking my father to Brazil because it's a country my father wants to visit, taking my mother to Turkey because my mother really wants to see Turkey, and my younger sister who I really love flowers and I want to take her to the Netherlands. It sounds absurd, but that's what I hope I can do for their happiness. ~~~~~~ Our life was very happy with the same activities, but one day my mother got a call from the hospital, saying that my maternal grandparents had died in a train accident, (grandparents from Surabaya). I had forgotten that there were only my maternal grandparents, while both of my father's parents had died when my father was 13 years old, and my father lived with his aunt who was now gone. "Go back to my mom" my mom cried while hugging my younger sister. My father and I were shocked after seeing my mother and sister crying loudly, my father asked my mother "Buk, what's wrong, why are you crying like this? But my mother couldn't answer my father, my mother seemed to be drowning in a sea that had no end. My mother lost half of her soul. ~~~~~ After a few minutes and everything calmed down, my mom told me her story and at that moment, my dad called his boss to borrow the company car and yes, my dad got permission. Around 6pm, my dad drove the car to the city. After 2 hours and 25 minutes of traveling, we finally arrived at the hospital there. We saw my grandparents wrapped in white clothes on the hospital bed. I saw my mother with teary eyes, I saw her eyes empty but her tears flowed as if she didn't want to stop, my mother cried while hugging the bodies of my grandparents. Our tears seemed to be unbearable after my mother said such piercing words, my mother cried while saying "MA, PAH" ,,,,, You know how much I need you in my life, my family and I really need you, part of our spirit is below and sleeps eternally with you, I love you, we love you, but fate does not support "That, fate took all that, and the universe supported it as if it did not understand part of our spirit. My love for you is the same as your love for me when I first came into your lives.". I wouldn't be surprised if my mom did that because she was the only child of my grandparents. At around 5am we brought the body back to the house, and in the afternoon at around 3pm my grandparents were buried. ~~~~~ Something had changed in my mother's face, as if her spirit was gone, but she continued to do activities for her small family. For a few weeks my mother was overwhelmed with grief.
My mother fell ill after the incident, our activities were running smoothly as usual but bad news hit our lives again. My father had an accident, my father was hospitalized for about a week, but fate seemed to be trying my life or fate might want to take away all the happiness in my life. My father was paralyzed and the doctors said that the chances of him walking again were very slim. Suddenly our hope was gone, I saw my mother seemingly losing her way in life. ~~~~~~` These incidents made me stop after I graduated from middle school. ~~~~~~~~~~` "KIRANA" I woke up from my long daydream after hearing someone calling me. " Rina "!!! I said. "Why are you daydreaming? You've got a lot on your mind, huh?"you didn't answer the phone either"Rina asked in a tone of wanting to know, and a bit annoyed. "No, Rin, just a little tired." I answered slowly. (It turns out it was Rina who called me earlier because I'm not usually late). Rina is my friend, my only friend at my workplace. "ME AND MY NIGHT" I clean myself after coming home from work, I go downstairs and clean the house,cook and take care of my family. I don't have time to complain about what is happening in my life, I don't have time to show my tiredness to my family, I know that I can face all this, I believe in my strength and my God. After giving my father and mother medicine, I took my sister to her room to sleep, and my mother pushed my father's wheelchair into the room. I helped my mother to put my father to bed after leaving my sister's room. Before I said goodbye to rest, mother took my hand and took me to the living room. "Mom and dad are sorry dear, You and your sister should not deserve to experience this bitter life." said the mother while crying. I hugged my mother and said "Mother" don't apologize to Kirana. Kirana is happy to do all this for father, mother and sister, you are my happiness." I said it while hugging my mother and dropping silent tears.
Mother took me to my room to rest."Good night darling" Mom loves you, while a kiss landed on my forehead, I responded by saying,"Good night mother, I love you too." After my mother came out of my room, I sat and cried about our life.. I seemed to be drowning in an ocean that couldn't be divided, I talked to myself and convinced myself that I was strong and I could get through all of this. For me, night is not the time for me to rest, but night is the time for me to reflect on my life and make changes for me and my family. I ponder while crying until I fall asleep. ~~~~~~~ I wake up about 20 minutes after 6am, I rush downstairs to clean the house and make breakfast and lunch for my family because I always get off work at 6pm, if I'm not working overtime. By around 7am all my work is done, and it's time for me to shower and leave for the office before 8am. Arriving at the office I work as usual but this time no one bothers me so I can't forget my problem, who else if not Rina, today she called me, she said she was absent today and all for no reason, yes that's her bad habit even though I warned her, very annoying. "ME AND THE DESTRUCTION OF MY LIFE" I hate the day when my life is completely swept away by the waves, where it feels like it's just me and my tears, I can't figure out the path of my life, I don't know what I've done or what my father did. and mother did that so fate was so cruel to me. That night I worked overtime until 1 pm, rain, wind and lightning struck as if to swallow, if anyone dared to come out, so that no one could reach their lives. The only way was for me to spend the night in my office, but the anxiety that hit me seemed to tell me to go home immediately, as if something had happened to my family, but what should I do, I could only convince myself that my family was fine. I was more worried after I called but no one answered. I thought maybe it was because the rain was too heavy, so the sound of the phone call couldn't be heard. So I decided to pray and sleep. The next morning I went home around 5 am. After almost arriving at my house, I heard a lot of people's voices and I felt like I couldn't breathe after seeing the condition of my house, and there were also police there. I ran inside and looked for my family, but my house looked like a house that hadn't been lived in for a long time. I looked and screamed until the police calmed me down and said, “Your father, mother and sister have been evacuated, but they are still dead.” ~BRUK~ As if lightning had struck me, I fell and became unconscious. I woke up in a hospital bed, I immediately rushed to look for my family, and found them lying covered with a white sheet. My life was completely destroyed, my hopes were lost, all my dreams were buried in eternity, I was completely destroyed and destroyed. I blamed fate, so the world and fate worked together to destroy me ~~~~~`
That night before the rain, wind, thunder and lightning occurred, everyone had fled except my family, because my mother had a heart attack after hearing the thunder and lightning. Her heart was weak but my mother tried to lift my father and carry my sister, but all her efforts were in vain. My mother's heart grew weaker and she fell. My father tried to carry my sister and tried to wake my mother, but in vain my sister was struck by lightning and my father fell and suddenly everyone lost consciousness. I regret that day, where I harbored my fear more than the lives of my family. That night if I had gone home maybe I wouldn't have experienced all this. I blame myself for everything that happened, I hate myself, really hate it. ~~~~~~ “I'M TRAPPED IN THE PAST” Losing my family is like, I lost half of my life. I wander in my mind that seems to drift in my silence every day. I am really stuck in the silence of my life right now. In my silence, I always hear the voices of my mother, my father and my sister who seem to be calling me. I miss the warmth that used to be in my life. I'm lost, I've really lost the direction of my life, I seem to have no hope and passion to live, all my dreams that I once had are lost in memories that I may never reach again. "AAARRRGGHH" My screams and cries broke the silence of my night "What's wrong with you Kir" please love yourself for your family, you have to be strong to live this life God is with you, He knows you are great, He knows you are capable Kir" Someone hugged me and said that, who else if not my best friend Rani. "I hugged him and cried uncontrollably." How grateful I am to have Rina in my life, she always makes me forget all the problems I'm experiencing, she's always there if I need support for my head, she's always there to hear my complaints about my destiny in life. He is the only friend who regenerates the spirit within. "Thank you for coming in and feeling the bitterness of the problems in my life" (I said while hugging him and crying). "ME AND MY LIFE CHANGES" A year has passed and I am now a truly strong person at my young age, I accept and accept everything that happens in my life. I got out of the deep abyss that tried to trap me in my life. I am free again and living my life. All the dreams that I had forgotten came back to my mind to keep going and not give up. I thought that my family would always be with me, so I decided to run after the dream that I had forgotten. "Perhaps history needs to be recorded in gold ink, so that everything that happens in this life will be stored and included in a page called memories." THE END
