Andra's Records

Miracles

"Hello, happy 26th birthday, Andra. May you be healthy wherever you are. May this year my goal be to meet you again. I really miss you." the message was sent by Bening on Andra's old number. For seven years, he had been sending messages to that number. Every day. He told me all the things he felt there. In the Clear Illusion, Andra read it and replied to it as she wished. This is the denial that sometimes makes him look weird. He could not accept the fact that Andra was no longer related to him.

Today he invited his close friends to celebrate Andra's birthday. This does not make sense, but his friends are even used to such Bening. Once one of Bening's friends asked why Bening celebrated his birthday but there was no one to end up Bening did not want to talk to him again. Since then no one has protested, they must have come and enjoyed Andra's birthday cake.

Today after returning from the hospital Bening immediately dress up pretty. Her hair had stretched to the waist. She's wearing a red dress. Tonight he will celebrate Andra's birthday with Reno. This time he won't bring his friends.

Reno picks him up when the clock shows at seven p.m. They entered a fairly rame outdoor restaurant. Reno ordered a birthday cake. If this is the situation, Bening will definitely stick with Reno.

They both blew out candles for Andra.

"Yeyyy," Bening applause. Reno just smiled.

"What's your gift to Andra this year?" ask Bening.

"Hmm, I sent him a limited edition clock" Reno replied.

"Gee. Did he answer your message again?"

Reno cackling. "Well, he asked you. I'm just saying you're okay."

"Yahhh," Bening disappointed. "Ren, is Andra an astronaut?"

Reno cackling. "He must have seen us now from up there."

"Can we meet him?"

"of course. But we don't know when it's clear." Reno answered while cutting the cake. He feeds Bening. They look friendly. Just like a couple who love each other.

"I've been trying to study astronomy. He said that a person's age would slow down if they went into space. I'm 50 years old and Andra is back with 30. That's ridiculous, isn't it?" Laughing thinking about it.

"Well, and it's more appropriate that you marry me than she is. You'll be labeled a pedophile if you're still the same."

"I am so stupid. The important thing is that I can be with him" Bening said.

"Well, you must be crazy." Reno shakes. "Btw, not ahead I'm going to Indonesia. I have business there. I want to see my mom and dad."

"How long have you been there?" ask Bening while cutting the cake again.

"Top two months" Reno replied. "Is there a deposit?"

"I'll think about it. Maybe I should buy some new clothes for my mom" Bening said.

"alright. We'd better eat now."

***

Three days had passed since he and Reno celebrated Andra's birthday. This morning he had a miracle. The miracle that made him scream hysterically until Stella who was still sleeping immediately ran to the room.

"What's up, Bening?" tanyanya's worried.

"Statel... Stel... This is impossible.." he said shaking.

"It's impossible Stell." said the song while giving the screen hapenya to Stella. The girl observed the screen of the hape. Just a routine message he sends every morning to Andra. Stella only realized when one last message Bening read by the owner of the number.

"WHATAAA???" Stella's following hysterically.

"Stel, I want to cry..." Bening went straight into Stella's arms and cried there. Stella calms her best friend.

A few minutes later the man across answered. "Hmm, why is it clear?"

"IT'S BEEN CLEAR!!!!" Stella shouted again.

Sit cross-legged on the carpet under the bed. He tied his long hair first. Then she wiped away the tears that had flooded her cheeks since earlier.

"What am I supposed to say, Stella?" tanyanya while sobbing.

"Just tell that guy! If you don't block it!" Stella is emotional. He was so out of pity to see Bening waiting this long.

"What the hell is Stell!" Bening even huffed.

"Yaudah, follow your heart."

"All right." Finally, he typed in a long message. For almost two hours he made up those words. After that he had Stella read it first before sending it.

"Nature! It's so long, I'm so lazy to read it!" stella protests.

"Here you go, there seems to be no point in me telling you to read it either. There must be something you protest." Bening immediately pulled the hape again and sent the message to Andra. Miraculously the message was read by Andra.

The message contained a clear heartbreak all along. Everything he did and everything that happened. He also told me all his achievements during this time. Not to forget he told me that he graduated only five academic years and is now studying to take up the profession. Everything he told me.

It seemed like the person across there was reading a strand of words written by Bening. Long time he replied. But Bening and Stella patiently waited for his reply.

"Aren't you going home to see me?" what a reply that makes both of them creep. Stella even shook at this moment.

"Stell, it looks like he's in Indonesia right now... I gotta get Stell home. I gotta see him..." Crying again.

This time Stella had no reason to ban Bening. Even he also felt happy because finally the waiting for Bening ended. His suffering for the past seven years will be avenged by finding a cure. Andra will be the most effective remedy to treat all the wounds in the clear heart.

"I'll tell Reno... He should know about all this..."

Stella frowned. "Reno who?"

"Hmm, he's Gion. Gion's real name is Reno. He's not the man you think he is. He's not a perfect man who's suddenly crazy about me. Actually he's a close friend of Andra's." Bening's been hiding all this from Stella. He never told me anything about Reno. He only tells that Reno's name is Gion which comes from the land of ginseng.

"WHAT A!" Stella seemed disappointed to hear that.

"I'm sorry I hid all this from you."

"It's okay, still I'm a Reno supporter" he told a lie.

"I hope you can stop setting me up with her. Because I'll be back soon to the one who loves me. And to the one I love."
