After zuhur prayer, I arrived into the
house and put my school equipment down. Then, I aimed to the kitchen taking the
rice, a glass of water, and side dish for my having lunch. After all of my
eating activities, I had a plan to go to Play Station place. But the first, I
had to observe my father because he was so angry if I go over there. He didn’t
allow me to watch game playing especially going for playing. But, it wasn’t a
problem for me though he would be angry. I would constantly go because I
couldn’t keep my desire back. Watching and playing the game is naturalism for
children. So, I wouldn’t leave it. Then the second, if my father was nothing at
home, I would escape home quickly till I arrived to the destination.
I was so glad having fun there because I
could look the game playing satisfyingly. Even, if I have some money, I would
like to play like my friends. It was great and wonderful. I hoped it very much.
But, my parent rarely gave me more than two thousand per day and even that is
just for buying snack at school. So, I couldn’t play the game. In addition, I
was so jealous of my friends. I looked some of them played GTA Sand Andreas,
also there are most of them played football soccer, playing TAKEN, and soon. When
I looked at one by one of their playing, I tried to leave my jealousy out and
then felt so happy like nothing any problem inside, though actually I felt so attracted
and I need to play. But, I had to be constantly patient because I had no any
money for payment. Fortunately, there was my friend that gave me a favor. He
invited me to play with him together and he would pay me. It was like a very
nice season in my game life. I felt more and more happily like getting new
wonderful life.
For a while at home, my father was waiting
for me. He had already prepared his tool for hitting me. But, I didn’t know
that case because I forgot my home and just remembered the game anyway. But
suddenly my friend came to me from outside and then said;” Zal, you must go
home right now because your father has been waiting from you”. My body looked
nervous immediately and my mouth kept silent for a moment. I was thinking about
the way out from this problem. “How”, says my heart. But, I tried to feel
better constantly so that I got a braveness to go home. About ten minutes
later, I arrived in front of my home. Apparently, my father was waiting for me
there. He leaned his body on the indoor with a small straight rattan on his
hand. I looked him by acute eyes and gave a little nervous. I was thinking at
that time “will I enter my home or should I run away from home?” I was so
confused to choose either enter or run away. Immediately, I didn’t much think
about anything, I attempted to approach him bravely.
When I passed him a little, I didn’t look
at him. I turn my head down and just through him. Unfortunately, he held my
T-shirt and pushed me by great power till my body fell down. He said “where were you?” my heart beat
quickly and my breath as a tired people. I didn’t know how to solve this
problem. I was so confused how to answer the question. So, I perforce answered
it honestly that I had played the game at Game Station. Suddenly, His eyes to
be so bigger than before so that I more and more afraid. My body got great vibration
and very quick. At the moment, he put the straight rattan on my foot hardly so
that I screamed loudly till my neighbor heard my voice. He hit me continually until
my body looked black and blue and even till he felt satisfied.
He hurt my heart and made me like had no
justice in my family. I was so jealous with my friends because they get free to
play the game at GS. I’d like to be like them and had kind parent as same as
they had. I couldn’t be better if my life just got a lot of advice from my
parent. I needed freedom from father and mother. I wanted to play the game satisfyingly.
Many times and many ways to find the
freedom in family, because I didn’t know what did my parent intend that they
forbade for several games. I was just a little boy that knew about playing only
and didn’t recognize about prohibition. Moreover, I often broke their advice by
doing anything could hurt someone heart because I got depression of their rules.
