I Need Time-Turner

By Khotia Nur Aqsho

”She needs her family back. She needs a healthy mother back again, and smile for her. She needs her brother came back home again.  She needs her friends near around her again. She needs  time machine. She needs the time-turner, to get it all back.”

The sun was going down, the sky was getting dark. There was no stars twinkled and it was raining. Emily walked around her  backyard, she was really sad. She was broken home. Emily lived with her mother, and her brother, Peter. Her dad left them with the other beautiful woman. Her mother was sick because of her husband. Her brother didn’t go to school, because he didn’t pay the monthly contribution. Emily depressed. Emily was the first-born in her family. So, she should help her mother and brother.

The next Monday, Emily went to school, she was dizzy. She came to school late, because she had to prepare for her mom’s and brother’s breakfast. She didn’t alone, her friend in her class, Harry came late too. So, they got the punishment together. They had to clean the teacher room. And they did it all with happily and laugh.

Harry told her that he wanted to go back to home together with Emily. And yeah, they went back home together. They talked as long as the road. Harry felt something different. Something that Harry didn’t know what was it. Maybe it was love. Harry fall in love with Emily.

 Emily arrived at home. She felt bad because she found her mom was crying. “What happened mom? Why are you crying mom?” said Emily. “Peter, he is leaving us, he grab all his stuff. He is gone,” said her mom sadly. She was crying too. She ran out to the garden, and sat down.

She had hoped the soft breezes would be a consolation for the fact that she had so much work to do. She had to find her brother, but on the other hands, she had to take care her mother. But at that time, there was nothing left to do but cry. Suddenly, Harry came and approached to Emily. “Leave me alone, don’t bother me!” said Emily loudly, and she was crying again. Harry sat beside her, hoped he could to calm her down. But he couldn’t. Emily left him and she walked inside. It made Harry sad, it made Harry mad to her. And he also left, he went back home.

The next day, Emily went to school. She was late again, and got the punishment. When she in the class, she got Harry stay away and ignore her. She got Harry not talked to her at all. She was sad. And the bell was ringing, she went back home. After she arrived, she looked at the garden. Emily lied down on the grass, and she closed her eyes. She was dreaming and talking by herself, she was a little unsteady with the tears in her eyes.

“If only I have time machine, I will go to the past. I will change all of it. I need my happy family back. I need a healthy mother back again, and smile for me. I need my brother came back home again. I need my friends near around me again. I need time machine. I need the time-turner, to get it all back. Although I know that there’s no time machine, I know there’s no time-turner to get it all back. It just a dream, Emily. You are stupid Emily, there’s no time machine. There’s no time-turner. But I want, I need time machine right now.” Emily was crying.

Emily was sad, that everything has changed. She thought if not all of the effort wouldn’t be back and if only silent lament all that happened. She smiled, get up and started something new. She hopes everything would be back.
