Creative Nonfiction Crime Sad

One day a child who was always cheerful sunk his face which her rarely did.

Her began to realize that strange things were starting to appear in his personal life, strange things were starting to come

her lives in an affluent family, his name is tania he is the second child of 3 siblings.

her is a very good martial artist, but unfortunately, Tania's parents do not allow Tania to learn self-defense.

But Tania never gave up, she still stole time to practice.

Tania was not required to be a smart child in academics, but still the expression of her parents

looks very disappointed when he gets an unsatisfactory grade. This is what makes Tania feel compelled to pursue even higher grades.

Tania has trauma from her past, when she was in grade 4 of elementary school she was almost harassed by her father's friend, lucky for Tania she dared to speak up until finally her father found out and decided on the job he had promised

Unknowingly, Tania felt different things a few months ago, she became a child who always thought badly and did things as usual with fear, she always felt alone and was constantly being chased by her parents' expectations.

Even though Tania's every wish is always obeyed by her parents, but she is never satisfied with that, until in the end she commits a lie which in the end is covered up with another lie. Tania did that without a specific purpose, she just wanted more attention that her parents didn't give her, but money.

Tania just wants time with her parents and real affection.

Grade 9 of junior high school Tania has a lover, a handsome and very kind man, unfortunately this man is always lied to by Tania to give her more attention, Tania always says someone is hurting her even though nothing is there, she always says she is in serious pain which isn't really there at all, he did that so that his lover would feel sorry for him, and sure enough Tania's wish came true, she got the man's affection.

Even though Tania lied to satisfy her feelings, Tania still feels guilty for everyone who has been deceived

Tania realizes that she has not been happy in reality, she is happy only in the illustrations. he realized he was doing that around 6th grade, when his younger brother was born. Tania is very sorry for what she did, but she has no other choice to get the love she wants

No one knows this, not even his close friends. He prefers to go to a psychologist, when he tells the whole story he is still

lying to the psychologist, he still doesn't believe in anyone but his God. In the second week he had a consultation scheduled and he still lied,

in the third week he came again with the truth that he had been hiding all this time, in the following week he was referred to a psychiatrist at the same time to be diagnosed with what Tania was experiencing, bad news was heard in Tania's ears, "that she was affected by myhtomaniac behavior". Tania's psyche is not normal, she imagines too far and even thinks as if there are 2 bad people who always hurt her (as she complained to he lover)

Tania still thinks it's something that might not be too bad, but in fact it's hard to cure.

After hearing the news, Tania became a quiet child, she preferred to be silent so she wouldn't do that again until she finally became depressed because she herself was making things worse. He hurt himself by injuring his body, especially his tiny hands, his smooth face and beautiful hair.

Tania's family, who saw that Tania's behavior was different, were also annoyed. Who would accept that such a good personality turned into an arrogant child. Tania realized that all this time her family had only used her as a slave. she could do it herself, they still told her to do it, Tania realized that all this time she had been bribed with beautiful things and lots of money, Tania was very happy at that time, she thought this was real happiness, complete facilities.

but it turns out he doesn't need that. Her family saw the scratches on Tania's arms, who would have thought that one of them didn't care about that.

Even the blood that fell on Tania's bed was not recognized by her mother when she changed the bed sheets.

Tania chose to break up with her lover, who had been dating for more than 2 years, the lover who had always been by her side, the lover who had been watching and always worrying about Tania. A few months after breaking up, the man found out about the situation Tania was in, and the man was very kind, he wanted to help Tania and be with her like before.

Tania's life doesn't stop there, she is always surrounded by guilt towards people who don't know that Tania is deceiving, Tania's heart is always afraid.

When Tania was in grade 2 at vocational high school, she changed her personality to become a child who was quiet and afraid of what would happen, she did that because she didn't want to lie to new people anymore, fortunately she had a lover, call her Fahmi, a man who sincerely love Tania like a lover and a small child that Fahmi must take care of.

The peasant family is still the same as before, a family that doesn't care about the farmer's condition, a family that makes slaves, even the psyche of their children, they don't know

Judging from this story, complete facilities and an adequate life will be inferior to the care for each other and the love of the family.

it is undeniable that even simple people look happier when they love one another

In the final story, Tania's fate is very sad, her family is asked to see the psychologist but no one comes.

Tania never gave up, she tried to heal her illness and trauma with the support and help from God, the psychologist who handled her and her lover.

Tania's happiness and expression after about 6 years ago turned out to be fake and not as beautiful as her imagination
