A World Without Seams

19

Rachel was home after three days in the hospital. He has been allowed to go home on condition that he must rest for a total of up to a week.

Rachel rested in her room and looked at the book that yesterday had disturbed her mind. He grabbed the book and sat leaning on the head of the bed. He opened up sheet by sheet. The book is empty on the front page but in the middle of the book it still displays yesterday's writing and there is additional writing underneath.

*May I recover soon, from your friend

I want us to talk

I miss

May it heal soon and I can see you again, greetings my miss*.

If he knew who wrote this, he would be happy and would call this person. Unfortunately, he still does not know who is behind this writing. Rachel closed the book and placed it on the table.

"Would you take a shower or a break?" ask mother.

"Bun bath, this sultry is not very good for her body," said Rachel.

"He had a quick shower, he ate. Mother was already cooking," said her mother, Rachel nodded and got out of bed and immediately cleaned herself up.

After the shower, he walked into the dining room. There's Tania, Bram and Cecil. They chat while eating tempe mendoan.

"It's so relaxing" said Rachel.

"Enak dong, kangen mother's cooking," said Bram.

"Tell you Bram, your mother's most delicious cuisine" Tania said.

"Mother is that," said Rachel.

"It's a shame not to descend on his son" said Bram.

"Barin weeee!" reply Rachel.

"Udah ah, if you meet it try to get along, shame the same with Tania and Cecil," said the mother. Bram and Rachel face off.

"Hel, don't eat spicy first. Your stomach is not used to it yet," said the mother when Rachel wanted to take sambal from the balado eggs made by the mother. He broke his intention and smiled at my mother.

"Hel, you were asked by Mr. Andre. I told you you'd get sick" said Cecil.

"Oh yeah? did he send any more assignments?" ask Rachel.

"I guess not, miss the times," said Cecil.

"Hmmmh. if she does come," said Rachel.

"What if he's ever been here?" ask Bram.

"Get up, pick up time to go to work," said Rachel, Bram nodding despite his irritated face.

Be loved, ulam arrived. The bell rang and Andre was standing with a bouquet of flowers and food and fruit for Rachel. Mother who opened the door then glanced at Rachel meaningfully before telling Rachel to meet her.

"Sir Andre" said Rachel.

"It's not in the office!" protesting, Rachel smiled amusedly.

"Hehehe.. tumben play here," said Rachel.

"You're a sick look, for you" she handed a bouquet of flowers to Rachel's lap.

"Thanks, bother bringing ginian," said Rachel.

"No, no bother. Instead I could see you again," he said, staring at Rachel inside. Rachel looked down wrongly and played the strap of the bouquet. Eeeh even dislodged and torn until the flowers fell making Rachel's face reddened while picking up the falling flowers.

"Nothing, maybe because the rush is not tight," said Andre.

After that they laughed and talked a lot in the living room. Rachel and mother invited him to eat, but Andre refused subtly.

After being satisfied with the conversation, Andre returned home. Rachel led him to the door.

"Thank you for coming and for everything" said Rachel sincerely.

"Sama-sama, get well soon huh. A lot of people miss" Andre said.

"Congratulations, Mr. Andre," seduced Rachel.

"So, father again. Am I that old?" said Andre.

"You could say that," Rachel said with a laugh. Andre stroked Rachel's cheek briefly and then left. Rachel is shocked by her treatment but succeeds in making Rachel happy. It seemed like the flowers in his heart were blooming.

"Don't use elus-elus, you're a cat, '" whispered Bram behind Rachel. Rachel turned around and saw Bram standing on the backrest at the door while folding his hands.

"Whisper!" rachel said in passing.

"I told you Andre wasn't a good man, mending you away from him" said Bram.

"You doang said he was. But all this time it was fine. Udah ah, do not parnoan," said Rachel as she entered the house past Bram. Bram just silently followed Rachel in.

Prasggs!

The sound of broken dishes came from the kitchen. Rachel and Bram rush there and see Cecil holding his bloody hand on the broken plate.

"Geez, here!" Bram pulled Cecil's hand and took him to the water faucet and helped flutter his bleeding finger. Cecil stared at his bleeding finger.

"Why do you get a gini wound?" ask Bram.

"Buffed, ouch! slow down! you have it, let me wash it myself" said Cecil.

"Udah stay here! I'll get you some medicine" said Bram. Rachel stood there and looked at the long wound on her finger. He looked up and looked at Tania who saw him a little differently.

Bram came and applied the saleb and put the plaster on Cecil's finger.

"Okeh, done. Next time be careful" said Bram.

"Thanks," replied Rachel, looking down and saying goodbye to her room while she was done cleaning up the broken dishes and throwing them in the trash. Bram turned around and looking at the pouting Tania, he immediately grabbed her and took the girl into the living room. Rachel does not want to take a headache especially kepo with Bram's relationship. He chose to sit at the dinner table again with his mother.

"Mother wants his girlfriend in Bram who the hell? Ye? Cecil or Tania?" ask her while whispering.

"Mother what the hell? Bram it's just me from small, mother knows herself. Bram's girlfriend is Tania" said Rachel.

"Mother thinks you're dating, eeh there's Tania apparently she's her boyfriend but the same Cecil care so much. Not deliberately squirming Bram many times deletin Cecil," said mother still while whispering.

"That mother kepo! Cecil is Bram's ex, Bun," said Rachel as she plucked the remaining two pieces.

"Ooh pantesan, you alone? Bram or Andre?" ask mother.

"The mother mah kepo. Both are not bun. It's a matter of course" said Rachel.

"Relatedly? Andre looks good," said the mother smiling seductively at Rachel.

"Hmmm," Rachel pretended to be interested in the pudding you made.

Rachel does not want to lie to herself actually she also has a heart for Andre but is ashamed to admit it. He used to like Andre when they were nearing graduation. Because they get a test number that is one number difference. Exams at that time were indeed randomized and they sat next to each other and often discussed problems together. Then after graduation they parted ways with different lectures and different areas.

They are reunited after four years of separation. Haven't changed Rachel's heart for Andre. But whether it's just a feeling of like or just awe? I don't know, time answers everything.
