ILANA
5. Burden at my small age

Ilana lived her life until at the age of 13 she was awarded as the best student. Ilana bagged a lot of medals and international trophies.

His days are filled with learning ! learn ! learn !

Akmal runs amok because he cannot find Ruby and her three children. Everyone helped hide Ruby, Aksa, Axel and Rebecca.

"Ilana let's eat" shouted the grandmother from below.

Ilana took off the handset and went down the stairs.

"Grandma make balado eggs with heart-fried sauce Ilana's favorite potatoes."

Ilana ate in silence. Since the incident a month ago family members saw the change Ilana he became quiet and busy studying.

"Is there anything you want ?" Ilana turned to grandma and dodged in response.

"Purchase a TV to put in your room you want ?"

"No"

"Why ?"

"I have to learn." she answered briefly.

"Eat her slowly Ilana, "

"Grandma I'm done I'm going to go to the room first. I'm going to sleep."

"That's Saturday she's not in school."tap Ruby.

Marcella knocked on her son's bedroom door. Slowly step into the pink room.

"Are you going to sleep ?"

"What's up ? Mama want to talk ?" Marcella nodded.

"Mom there is a plan to move from here you come along. Mama's not good at cold war with your grandma. We live three other places. You agree, right ?"

Ilana nodded her head. "If your mom wants to go please. I'm not coming, I like it here. There's Ruby's grandmother, uncle and aunt and my cousin's sister. "

"Oh, we are family. We should be together. You, mama and your sister "

"But I'm family here too. I don't want to change schools or get used to the situation anymore I like my situation now. I'm hard to adapt as long as you know that."

"Ilana mama can't leave you. We can't be far away, baby."

"Mama can leave me. Mama has to get used to it, I'm not a baby who has to stick with her mother. You can find your life elsewhere. I'll be fine here."

"You're choosing grandma over mom ?" marcella asked in a sad tone.

"Yes "answered Ilana.

"Your mother will come to see you often."

"Ilana mama think, mama should discuss this."

"Regarding papa mu----"

"I don't care. Please don't talk about it."

"Ilana you should know if your papa is----"

"Ma, I haven't talked about that guy in a long time. I'm used to it without her, so mom has to get used to it too. Please, I don't want my future ruined."

"Well, go to sleep baby you must be tired of school."

Before reaching for the door handle Marcella stopped.

"I hope this is the last time you believe in men."

"Ilana-"

"Live without men. Mama should stand at her own feet. Mama should be able to do that, that's what she always taught me. "

"Ilana you don't understand when you need the person by your side, the person who can support you and you have it that is the encouragement of your life. "

"But mama still chose wrong, right ? he left mom. I understand, even I lost my mom since I was a kid. I'm used to being without my mom, so when you have other plans I have other plans too. "

"Mama can't be a good mom yet ?" ask Marcella.

"Yes, I hope that when you live somewhere else I pray that you can be a good mother to your baby, at least she should be lucky rather than me."

Ilana quickly closed her eyes. Marcella held back the tears that were about to come out she could not be weak in front of her son.

Marcella pulls one of the drawers she looks back at Ilana's photo album.

Marcella loved Ilana very much but the hatred for the man almost made her throw Ilana to Andrew.

The more the day the man's face rose clearly on the face of his daughter Ilana.

...****************...

Marcella hugged her mother. "Sorry ma, I'm sorry. I failed again and again."

"Here son, my mother has no advice for you. Live a good life and don't do anything stupid." Marcella nodded

"Jaga Ilana I am. I'm gonna drop him on you guys. Please love her."Ruby nodded.

"Be careful on the road."

Marcella is passing on the faces of the family one by one except for Ilana and Alex they are on TV right now. Ilana was invited as the guest star of an accomplished child.

Ilana prefers money over her mama.

After the car went to drive Marcella. Ruby and Ayu sighed in unison.

"Ilana's pity, she must be disappointed."tap Ruby.

"The child is more mature than we thought. He was so ordinary when his mother lived." said Ayu.

"The reason makes me almost believe, mama won't take care of me. I don't want to adapt to the village either."

"Mama wants to take her to the ice cream shop later she likes vanilla." Ayu said.

"It's a good idea" said Andrew.

...****************...

"Who's bi ?"

"Mrs Marcella Bu Ayu."

Ayu put down her magazine. "She's gonna want to talk to Ilana. "

"ILANE...ILANA "call the grandmother.

"Yes, I'm afraid." answered her from the kitchen.

"What do you eat in your mouth."

"Sandwicchh"

"Towel used to talk to grandma."

Ilana just ran back to the kitchen apparently the boy wanted to drink.

"Ahh. Sandwich granny. Where's the phone bi."

"Hallo ma "

"................."

"Ilana's fine, everything here is fine."

".........."

"Huh Aunt Ruby ? Yeah, he still lives here. Uncle Akmal is still looking for them. "

".............."

"Ma, I'll close the phone first. I still have school work to do." Yeah."

"............"

"Yes bye"

Ilana was about to move but Grandma's gaze made her undo the intention.

"What is grandma ?" ask Ilana.

"Grandma watch you keep your distance from your mother."

"That's grandma's opinion."

"Ilana, she's still your mother. He's waiting for you to hear his daughter's voice. Whatever his faults are not worth it if you're cold."

Ilana took a long breath. "Grandmother is too sensitive lately. Me and my mom are ordinary. Don't assume the no-no."

Ilana went to the kitchen again and ate her breakfast with the servants there. There was laughter in the kitchen, what they were talking about.

Ayu read the magazine again. "Huft, am I sensitive ? I think I should watch the soap opera."

Ilana laughed out loud but was different from the content of her mind.

The loudest laughter no one ever thought if he wanted to cry as hard as it closed all the burdens in his heart.

It was true that Ilana was keeping her distance from her mama. The distant relationship made Ilana even colder to her mother.

Ilana tried to melt the atmosphere but still could not. Either his mother is indifferent or indeed the time is not right.

Marcella was pouting. Since moving eight months ago Ilana is so difficult to contact whether she is at school, sleeping or having activities.

"Why do you think I sinned once ?"

"I'm a pathetic mother. I can only see my son's face on TV."

"My dear elana"

Marcella rubbed the face of Ilana who was a speaker on one of the news programs.

"I'm sorry, mama Ilana."

...****************...

Ilana was reading a book in bed.

Tok.dok..

"What's uncle Muhammad ?"

"Your mom's nelfon Ilana." Ilana nodded.

"Hallo ma, what's up ?"

"Ilana hasn't slept tomorrow Monday "

"Mama is the nelfon. What do you want to say ?"

"Mama heard from school you didn't hand over your trophy huh ?"

"Yes they'll give me a replica trophy. I obviously don't want to "

"Why ?"

"I'm 100% away at my own expense. So I don't want to. I'll give it to you if the school gives me a lot of money."

"Parana ?"

"I'm in business ma. They got a good image I got money. I won't give you that trophy until I get 20 million. "

"You just make an agreement Ilana put the stamp so that the money is not complained later."

"Thank you for supporting me ma."

Ilana had suddenly become the richest disciple she launched a business as an influential disciple. Many competitions that he participated in the international stage to bring his name increasingly famous.

For two years he managed to get 150 million in his savings.

It was the first time Ilana had that much money that originally only 21 million was now 150 million.
