3 Perfected Decades

Me and my friends in class

    I'm still sitting in the living room chair at Grandpa's. Because I haven't said what I want to talk to Grandpa about. I saw Grandpa was enjoying the freshly finished avocado juice made by the maid at Grandpa's house, whose working hours were until the afternoon. I also took a glass with avocado juice, mine. The sweet and fresh taste was immediately felt in my mouth and throat.

" Tumben you came here alone. What's up?" Grandpa asked as he looked at me with his eyes starting to dim the light behind his already loosened eyelids.

" The king came here, to tell Grandpa. The day after yesterday, Dad had an accident while visiting a village on the outskirts of town." My answer tells me what it means to come here today.

" How is your father doing now?" Ask Grandpa again with his somewhat quivering tone of voice. Apparently behind Grandpa's stubbornness, he still has a sense of caring for his children.

" The father had a mild concussion and minor injuries all over his body, as it fell into the abyss that many trees were traversing." Reply again.

" But she's okay, right?!" Grandpa was surprised by the look on his face, when I said he fell from the abyss. I don't know what kind of abyss that came to Grandpa's mind.

" Yes, Cake. Dad was sober this morning, even though he was fine." I replied calmly so Grandfather would not panic.

    I saw Grandpa just standing still, tapping his finger on the edge of the chair he was sitting on. I also ventured to ask again.

" Did Grandpa want to see Dad?"

     Grandpa remained silent, not answering my question. I saw the clock show three in the afternoon. I have to hurry home, because the distance between my house and Grandpa's house is quite far. If more than four hours can be too late to get home.

" Grandfather seems like I should go home now. Fear of the road." I said standing up and saying goodbye to going home.

" Where, is your father being treated?" Finally Grandpa gave a response as well after being silent for so long.

" In Anugrah's Hospital, Cake." Answer me with spirit.

" Okay, Grandpa will be there later." Reply while looking at me.

     It turned out that Grandfather kept what he said yesterday. When I got home from school and came to see my dad. Grandpa was there and talking to Mom and Dad.

" Who's grandfather here?" I asked for pleasantries, because of course he came alone when he came here.

" Grandfather was alone, just got on the lot earlier." Grandpa replied while patting the chair beside him asking me to sit there. I also followed Grandpa's wishes.

" King thank you, for telling Grandpa. About Dad's condition." Dad said to me while smiling happily. I replied with a nod of my head while smiling too.

    I heard Dad and Grandpa telling a good story. So I went to Mother who was tidying up her things brought from the house earlier.

" Mom, since when did Dad and Grandpa become such a henchman? Usually the two of them would yell at each other, not want to lose." I asked while helping my mom with her stuff.

" My mom's been advising him since last night, when you said that Grandpa would come to visit here." Mom answered with an amused smile, and looked towards Dad and Grandpa were.

" Grandfather also tumben, do not put on his face." I said with a smile. Mom and I both laughed.

    Grandpa and Dad are like parents and children in general. A parent who loves his child, and a child who respects his parents. Seeing that I was happy it felt, to the point that I wanted to jump around vaping this happiness.

    Because in my old life, my father died earlier than Grandpa. I know that Dad really loves Grandpa. But it was not shown directly, so the people thought that Dad did not care about Grandpa. Likewise, people judge that Grandpa is stubborn and does not care about his children.

" Mr. RT good morning!" Sapaku to my next door neighbor, who was watering the plants while singing cheerfully.

" Good morning, King!" Mr. RT turned his body towards me, "As usual you are diligent in running in the morning now."

" Yes, Sir. It's delicious to the body, it feels fresher and lighter." I said with a friendly smile.

" Eh, King? Ana guess who?" Ana's eldest son Pak RT suddenly appeared behind his Father.

" Eh, yes. How's Ana doing?" I asked for pleasantries while smiling at him.

" Good, Brother." He answered briefly with a smile, then lowered his head.

" An what's wrong?" Ask Mr. RT to his eldest daughter.

" I'm looking for you with Mom." He answered, but his eyes looked at me. In my heart, I felt that Ana liked me, because she often stole a look from the window of her room, to look at my house.

" I'll excuse you, sir! It's noon, afraid to leave bad luck later to school." I said, and then I entered the gate of my house. And I could still see that Ana was still watching me, where she had been since.

    Even at school, I can interact with a boy friend. Not so close to the girls in my class.

" King, I do not understand the discussion of Mathematics lessons that were taught by the teacher yesterday." Radit shifted his math textbook towards me.

" Eh, that was a math lesson yesterday, huh? I don't understand either. Can I come with you?" Nino who sat at my front desk joined in and turned her body.

" Maybe, let me explain." I said while taking a blank piece of paper to be scribbled later. 

    It turned out that other friends who did not understand the discussion yesterday joined me as I explained it back to Radit and Nino. Every now and then they ask or chimed in if they still did not understand. I'm happy with my new activity, being able to talk to my friends. Want to learn about school or other conversations.

" King after school we'll play basketball. Do you want to play with us?" Nino asked as we ate in the school cafeteria. Of course I would, with Nino's invitation just now. After school, we will play basketball together.

I never thought when I played basketball on the court with my friends. It turned out that many of the female students who were shouting gave their support to me. And it makes me happy, as if I were already a famous person. It's different from my old life, because I don't have any friends.
