A World Without Seams

72

When Jim remembered, Jim passed by while cycling. But is that really Jim? Rachel stood up and opened the window. Honey, a figure that looks like Jim is no longer visible. Rachel went back to her bed. Is that really Jim passing by? Why does it feel impossible? But he could have passed. Or was it just his hallucination of thinking about Jim?

Tock.... Geck... Noey knocked on the room door.

"Lake in!"

"Sister?" noey asked with his head poking slightly in front of the door.

"Come here!" take Rachel. Noey hesitated to go in and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Sorry, brother" said Noey.

"No, the brother who should be sorry was even angry is not clear" said Rachel first. They were silent for a long time until they finally smiled.

"Sorry Brother Bram, yes" Noey said.

"Please, we will be fine as well. Have you eaten?" ask Rachel.

"No" replied Noey weakly.

"We eat!" take Rachel.

They ate while telling stories as usual, Rachel made the atmosphere no longer awkward. After eating, they sat while watching the drama.

"Noey, just jerk off! Brother ahead first. Buy snacks and ice cream stock. You wanna come?" ask Rachel. Noey.

"No, tired. Nitip drinks well hehehe," Noey's pinta.

"Okay, sister go for a minute, yeah" said Rachel. He chose to walk using an umbrella because the weather was quite hot.

Until the minimarket, Rachel immediately chose some snacks and put in the shopping cart. He then turned to various drinks but he fell silent when he saw Jim was choosing a cold drink.

"Jim...!" call Rachel. Jim looked left and right. She found Rachel walking towards her.

"You're here, buy what?" tanyakanya.

"It's just a snack" replied Rachel.

"I'm sure." asked Jim, Rachel laughed and nodded. After choosing their drinks to the cashier. Then they went home, Jim, guiding his bike.

"So you were like a hot afternoon gini?" Rachel said.

"Who? How do you know?" ask Jim.

"So in the house at a glance you from the window, just know it really," replied Rachel.

"So your house is around here?" ask Jim. Rachel nodded.

"Yes, why?" ask Rachel.

"It's okay, we're shady first yuk. It was hot" Jim said. His face was reddened by the heat, so they stopped by a garden with many shady trees.

While in the shade, they tell a lot of things even though Jim rarely smiles. Usually he will smile and even laugh widely to the point that only his eye line is getting narrowed.

"I want to ask you one more time" Jim said, playing with the bottle in his hand.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Is it true we were ever close?" ask Jim. Rachel looked at him wide. Did Jim start to remember a little bit?

"Uhm... Yep. But I don't know Jim, either,"

"You mean?" ask Jim. Rachel was confused where to start. And he wasn't sure Jim would believe his story.

"Are you going to believe it?" ask Rachel.

"I have to listen and know your story first,"

"Have your memory returned?" ask Rachel. Jim shook his head to make Rachel limp for a moment.

"There's just a little, at first glance I remember. And your smile feels familiar, your voice is also familiar to my ears" said Jim.

"really? We better talk at home. It's hot in here" said Rachel. Jim nodded. Because the bike Jim rode there was no puppet so they walked alone while guiding Jim's bike. Rachel shaded them both so as not to get hot.

As they walked, a car stopped right beside them. The car's glass opened and Nae's beautiful face was seen. He said it was Jim's girlfriend.

"Hi Jim! I was looking for you, said your mom, going to the market, so I followed," he said, smiling at Jim without greeting Rachel.

"Wait for what else? Come on up, let's go home!" take Nae.

"Sorry Nae, but I have a little business. This is important, can you go home first?" ask Jim. Nae, the girl is pouting.

"It's okay Jim, you go home. I go first, yes" said Rachel.

"Hul... Hel... Waitaminute! I'm coming!" Jim pulled Rachel's hand.

"Jim, don't gini. Kasian's your girlfriend!" rachel said she let go of Jim's hand.

"No! I need to know something. It's important,"

"But..."

"Already! Let's walk. Nae you go home first, this is important!" jim pulled Rachel by the hand and took her to Rachel's house.

They walk in a bit of a hurry because Nae's car is still following them.

"Leave him!" jim said as Rachel looked at Nae's car.

They arrived at Rachel's house. Nae's car passes by Rachel's house and drives away.

"Thank God!" jim said as he sat on Rachel's porch.

"So soon, I'll get you a drink" said Rachel. Jim nodded. He stared at the garden in front of Rachel's house, looking famliar. But he doesn't remember ever going there.

"Drink Jim," said Rachel put two glasses of cold drink and a snack.

"Thanks Hel's... You live here by yourself?" tanyakanya. Rachel nodded.

"Once in a while my sister goes here sometimes the same as me, too" replied Rachel.

"Aren't afraid to live alone?" ask Jim.

"Sometimes it's Jim,"

Then they told me a lot of things until finally Noey out of the house with typical sleepy eyes woke up.

"Sister, long time to buy...." Noey was silent for a moment when he saw Jim. Then immediately tidied her hair that was the same color as Rachel.

"Know, this is Jim's older brother, Jim knows this is the younger brother I'm telling you about," Rachel introduced them.

"Hey... Jim!" Jim put his hand out.

"Hey... Noey," Noey replied a little nervously welcoming Jim's helping hand.

"I went in firstwell, continued the conversation," said Noey. Rachel smiled. Jim was accompanied by a sweet smile.

"I thought he was your brother" Jim said. Rachel just laughed.

"She's so clingy with me" replied Rachel. They are busy chatting until they do not feel the sun rolling to the west sign is getting late. And the park, which was empty, started to fill with children playing.

"Rame is also well turned out.." said Jim.

"Yes, sometimes until night,"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes, but usually teenagers. There is a ginggi, skateboarding, or dance practice," said Rachel.

"dancing?" ask Jim.

"Yes, dancing. Even until late at night," Rachel explained.

"How do you know?" ask Jim.

"I saw them from the balcony. If my workroom's up at night,"

"Oooh pantesan, if you have a lot of people at night, sometime I want to try training there!" said Jim.

"Well, I'll be with you!" Rachel said.

"Thanks, I'll say goodbye. It's afternoon!" said Jim. Rachel drove the man to the gate. Jim looked at the park at a glance, feeling familiar. His memory returned but too little. Maybe if he goes there often he will remember many things. Jim wishes that...
