A Pair of Lotus Flowers

Vapidity

The next day, I woke up with puffy eyes.I remember the incident last night and I realized that mamah was no longer in this house.But suddenly I remembered Beni's brother who kissed my lips,it was a bit vague but it felt very real.

Now I'm in 3rd grade High School,in a moment I will carry out the final exam.Meanwhile Mr. Beni is now studying in the medical department.He said he wants to follow the footsteps of papah who became a doctor and can volunteer to remote areas.

My papah is a great doctor and certainly very busy.Besides being a doctor in the hospital,papah is also often a volunteer doctor for the area left behind.So he is rarely at home for a long time.Maybe that makes mamah choose other men to be his partner.

"Nara, will you be invited to school later in the afternoon?" Brother Beni told me.

"Do not brother, I take a taxi aja.I'm lazy later my friends are excited to gift for brother again" said I.

"So don't wait in the car anyway, so later if you have finished riding in the car just like that."

"Well, that's it."

Actually I wanted to ask you about Beni's sister who kissed me last night, but I'm afraid she misunderstood us and our relationship became awkward.

Arriving at school, I was still not eager to learn.I still remember the mama who now somehow.I also tried to contact him but apparently his phone is not active.

"Lo why Ra, Tumben is not rich usually." Ask my best friend Siska.

"Look I want to divorce Sis" I replied lethargic.

"Huh?A divorce?Not that they've been harmonious all this time?" Ask Siska.

"Don't know, which obviously now I don't live with us anymore."

"Sabar ya Nara,gue also from a small already far from my bokap nyokap.Sometimes I also feel sad if there's anything I can only complain to my nanny who from a small, small me,but now I'm used to being no problem.Let's also used to Ra"

"Hmmm"

"What if we play at the club tonight?my guy who DJ wants to perform loh.Ayo follow Ra" Invite Siska to me.

"Gak ah,gue will not get permission from bokap.Lo know myself bokap I'm a hard person"

"Lo bad, while the other children are also on the table Ra."

"Have you guys left anyway, I'd like to study for a test later" I said.

After the lesson hours were over, I rushed home.When there was no mom waiting at home as usual, but maybe because I was tired so I wanted to go home quickly.In the parking lot I saw Beni's car, brother, and I was in the car,he honked to signal me.

"Aren't you here long?" I asked Beni's sister.

"No, I'm also new to you."

The night my bedroom door was knocked several times, I who fell asleep from this afternoon was surprised because it was dark and I was even still wearing my uniform.

"Nara, open the door, son.You eat first, papah also wants to talk to you" said papah at the door.

"Bentar pah Nara take a shower for a while" I shouted at Papah.

I also shower in a hurry because I myself have been hungry since I woke up earlier.Finished bathing I went down to see Papah and Beni's sister at the dinner table.

"You are adults, soon you also graduate school.Papah hope you understand the good decision and papah take.Maybe this is the best for us together" explained Papah.

"Even though Nara has grown up, but that does not mean Nara does not need mamah, pah.Nara still wants mamah same papah back rich first."

"That can't be Nara, your mom is now also living with her new boyfriend.She won't want to come back to us again son."

I fell silent, the food I ate as if it was only in the throat, even though papah is busy and does not have much time for family but should not mamah betray papah.

Three weeks later, I finished my final exam and just waited for the graduation announcement.I went to school just to take care of my file to enter campus.

"Tomorrow we'll graduate, right?" Ask Siska to me.

"Yes, it's a lot of doo'a that I hope you graduate with good grades" said I.

"Hemm, I am already quite satisfied even though I graduated with mediocre grades.Gue does not want to go to college,gue already cape school, you want to bebaaaaass fast" Teriak Siska excited.

"Hahaha your life is rich there is no burden huh Sis?" I said while laughing.

I was jealous of Siska, she told her parents who were abroad that she had no interest in going to college, and it turned out that her parents did not force her to go to college,I was encouraged by Papah to go to medical school at the same campus as Beni.Padah I was not interested in that field.

In the afternoon when I came home, I saw a lot of stuff and luggage in the living room.I guess mamah came home again because he missed me,but it turned out I was wrong.Today suddenly papah told me that he would go to be a volunteer doctor in the Kalimantan area.Leave me and Beni brother both for a long time.

"Well, after my mother left now papah want to also go leave me?You guys, what the hell is going on?what was wrong until you left me one by one?" I screamed emotionally.

"You're not wrong, baby, you also do not intend to leave you.Papah depart because suddenly papah's friend canceled to leave Ra.You understand right?"

"Whatever papah, Nara already does not care the same papah" said I while going to the room.

I cried so much in my room, I really feel alone.People I love one by one leave me.Someone then knocked on the door, turns out it was my papah.

"Nara, are you leaving now, huh?you take good care of yourself.If there is anything you can ask for help to your brother Beni or to bi Asih" said father.

I just fell silent, I did not answer a word.Because it did not receive an answer from me, the father immediately left without speaking anything else.While tomorrow is my graduation day but I instead have to be alone here.Entah when we can meet again.
