A World Without Seams

02

Bram decides to watch the television while Rachel finishes the call until she unknowingly starts falling asleep on the couch. Rachel exits the room and finds Bram asleep. He sat next to Bram and switched television.

"Hul...!"

"Hmmm..."

"So seriously you want to move?" bram asked with his eyes still closed.

"Seriously lah. You didn't see the stuff I packed,"

"You're there yourself. Living alone. Who can help if there's anything?" tanya Bram opened her eyes.

"May there be nothing. But I've been living alone all this time. Not months but years. Remember?" Rachel convinced.

"Yes, but still..."

"Not to worry too much. If there's anything I call you," said Rachel.

"okay! And about the reunion, why do you want to attend?"

"Only prank. I want to know the show" said Rachel.

"It's probably just your excuse, no,"

"Yes, I don't believe it. So you want to nemenin? if not, I'm alone,"

"Yes, bawel" said Bram annoyed.

"It's all packed? Anything else yet?" ask Bram.

"Udah all right. Tomorrow we'll be transported,"

"Okeh, I'll go home first. If there's anything call me," said Bram.

"okay!" reply Rachel. Bram returns home and Rachel locks the door and sleeps in her comfortable bed.

Early in the morning the transport truck is moving towards Rachel's new home. Rachel hitchhiked in Bram's car. Bram forced to take Rachel to his house.

"Later tonight don't forget to pick me up" said Rachel

"Yes, you've said that a hundred times since I came" said Bram.

"Let's not forget,"

Their car turned into a small multi-storey house with a large yard planted with various flowers. Some workers went straight to work taking down Rachel's things.

"Rice!" bram comments while looking from the window of the room upstairs. The window faces the road. Across the street is a playground equipped with various children's games such as swings and others.

"This top room I want to make a workplace. Nice right?" Rachel said.

"Good, but this house for yourself is too big for you" said Bram.

"You want to stay with me?" ask Rachel.

After that he went down and saw Bram had tidied up the room below just opened the cardboard containing other items and put them in place.

"I'll call Noey, help" said Bram. Rachel nodded. Noey is Bram's younger sister who just finished High School. Not working and playing with Rachel. Her son is beautiful, fashionable, fair-skinned, long-haired. She even dyed her hair exactly the same as Rachel. Walking with them like the age.

Noey soon came and helped pack up. Bram cleans the backyard that is not too broad. He also swept the front yard. He also ordered food for lunch.

"This is it, the rest is all. Rest first yuk!" invite Rachel who is satisfied some of her house is filled with goods and her wardrobe is full. Just clean up the kitchen and family room.

"Sister, I'm here" Noey said.

"May, than at home. Dizziness," said Bram.

"May, eat first!" take Rachel. That day they ate in silence. Maybe because they are tired so they no longer have the energy to argue.

After eating they sit on the porch of the house. The noon wind was quite strong making them sleepy because they were full and tired.

"Noey, how do you live here?" ask Rachel.

"You are brother but..."

"Bram can ya? I want you to, I want to see the work for him. Afraid she'll be too if I'm working, too,"

"May be sure, but not most of the way. You guys like to forget the time" said Bram.

They both applauded happily getting permission from Bram. Rachel's new home is comfortable, but she also needs friends. Especially on the first day, he was not used to it. If there are friends, it is better.

"Tonight I'm going to get you guys" said Bram.

"Yeay, our dinner is saved!" Rachel said.

"Have a son! You guys cook dong. It's free to have a kitchen, but it's my ngarepin" said Bram. Rachel and Noey laughed together.

That afternoon they fell asleep in the family room while watching the occasional teeming chat. By late afternoon they decided to shop for their daily needs. Rachel would rather she stockpile a lot of groceries for him. Start main food to instant food. Because he likes to be hungry at night when he finishes his work at home so if there is a stock of food it makes it easier.

After shopping Rachel and Noey cook for a dinner consisting of chicken krispi, capcay sambal onion is also a sweet fresh drink made from cucumber shavings.

That night after dinner, Rachel and Noey were engrossed in watching a Korean drama that was airing. Bram brought his laptop and continued his work.

Until the night was getting late, they decided to sleep. Bram refuses to sleep in the other room when offered Rachel. He chose to sleep on a thick fur carpet in front of the television while Rachel and Noey slept in the front room.

In a moment Noey was asleep. Rachel couldn't sleep, she just rolled around. It's hard to close your eyes. Finally he decided to go upstairs to see the stars and say hello to the night.

He sees Bram asleep with his laptop still on. He keeps a draft of Bram's work and turns off his laptop. It also covers Bram. Then go upstairs. He opened the door of his study and turned on the light. Instantly the room was bright. He went to the balcony and saw in the surrounding atmosphere that felt lonely.

He looked up at the sky. There are no moons but many stars appear. He turned off the porch lights and returned to the balcony. The starlight looks more than before. Rachel enjoyed the gusts of the night breeze playing with her strayed hair.

He looked down. Silhouette of the game children are still not moving. Between the darkness Rachel engages someone. He didn't see it wrong, his eyes were used to the dark night. He saw someone playing his phone. A bluish-white light emerged from his hand. Unfortunately he did not see the owner's face because he turned his back to where Rachel was standing. When viewed from his hair and posture he seems to be a man.

It turns out there are others like him. Can't sleep tonight. Although there is no burden on the mind, Rachel often experiences this. He could stay up until morning because he could not sleep.

Maybe that guy can't sleep either. Maybe he was thinking about it or he just stopped by for a bit for some fresh air. The garden lights have been off for an hour. He could not see more clearly who the young man was. Rachel walked into her study and packed some items that still looked messy.
