As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon
Episode 7's. Relationship Without Status
Six in less than ten minutes. My eyes were wet when I remembered Grandma. Lara my soul thinks of life without her. It wouldn't be a big deal if my condition was okay. But if it's like this, then what's my day. Slowly but surely I tried to step towards the bathroom, resting on the wall or anything so I could get to the bathroom. Doing everything personal with conditions like this, enough to make me tormented.
Six o'clock past ten minutes. I see Adzan sounds almost over. Now I have come back to the room I have lived in for almost seventeen years. I put on my face neatly and extended the prayer mat. Then I slowly pull a wooden chair up near the prayer mat that has been decomposed elongated. And I began my prayer by sitting on the wooden chair. I have long been meditating. Full degree of specialization. Not only do I want to complain and complain to God and nature, but I also ask everything for my life and livelihood. I rubbed my face with both hands when I finished the prayer. "Please kindly welcome Robb...Aamiin" I said closing the prayer.
Six o'clock in thirty minutes. I went out of the room to the front door. Because I'm sure I've heard greetings at the door. I poked through the window to make sure. And sure enough I saw the bang David was sitting on a chair on the porch of the house. I open the door and meet him. "How are you, Fara." said bang David with a smile and looked at me. "Alhamdulillah.has been much better, bang" I said while sitting in front of him. "This." he said briefly while offering a box of rice complete with side dishes and vegetables. "I'm a bribe, huh..?" he said while taking a spoon. "The sick man is my leg, my hand is not" I said with a chuckle. "Yes, too." he laughed. "But I don't know why I always want to spoil you" he said again, shuffling at the top of my head. "Tomorrow your test how" he asked. I'm speechless. My eyes looked at my hand stirring up the rice. "Don't worry about your brother dropping you off and picking you up for school" he said, looking at me. "Why is David so good? Don't be so good, bang. I can't reply to him" I said in a trembling voice. "Not to think about. I'm good to anyone. Especially for Fara. Some time ago grandma ever leave Fara to Abang until Fara independent, if grandmother preceded us. I thought it was a joke but it was a reality" he said, occasionally staring at the ceiling. Free plunge has been a clear circle that I have been holding since. Now it has turned into a sobbing sobbing sobbing so much. "Thank you, bang" I said as I tidied up my lunchbox.
At seven o'clock exactly. Bang David pamit's. He looked at me like it was hard to leave me. I smile. "I'm fine, Bang" I said, which made him smile. And once again he ruffled the tip of my head. Not to mention the five steps he walked I've called him. He immediately twisted his athletic body and came back to me. "What.." she asked briefly while looking at me questioningly. "Em, Fara's sorry. Fara knows who almost hit Fara" I said. "Who..?" said bang David while staring fixedly at my face. "Em, she was the woman Fara had seen in Brother's house. When Fara delivered lunch Brother two months ago" said I lirih. "Mira.." he said furiously. His face was hardened and he passed by without saying anything to me.
Seven o'clock past thirty minutes. I reopen the Physics questions while occasionally peeking at the learning materials when I forget. Thirty things I devoured mercilessly. "Alhamdulillah."." I said while tidying up the question sheet that had been given bang David three days ago. "Surprise.." said Sherlly as she opened the door and poked her head at the door. "Hey....!" I shouted while trying to stand up. But Sherlly prevented it. He stepped up quickly and hugged me. "Why not tell me?" he said while sobbing. "Assalamu'alaikum." said a voice in the doorway. "Of, Aunt...!" yell sumringah. I kissed the backs of both hands in reverence. While Aunt Vina, the mother of Sherlly hugged me tightly. "How's your wound, honey...?" said om Radit. "That's pretty good, Om.." I said with a smile. "Start tonight Sherlly accompanied Fara. But auntie all Sherlly's. Auntie asked Fara to help teach Sherlly during this exam" said Aunt Vina who made me and Sherlly cry out in excitement. "Calm down, ma. Sherlly will study diligently" Sherlly said.
Drrt...Drrt...Drrt...
A message made my phone glow. "What's the matter, pretty?" message bang David. "Working on Geography training" I replied. "Don't be too late. Later it was just fatigue"the message again. "It's over soon. There's Sherlly too. Oya, Fara leaves for school tomorrow with Sherlly. So there's no need to drive Fara" I reply again. "alright. Home how?" book David again. "Done...!" sherlly half-cried. I smiled at Sherlly's expression of relief. True said Ferry, Sherlly looks funny if tense. My brother's best friend this one is funny. She is also beautiful, smart and kind. Perfect everything that is on him.
Ten o'clock at night. Me and Sherlly are getting sleepy. Unlike Sherlly, I can't close my eyes. In addition to the pain in my wounds that I think, my mind glares flying carried by the wind. Where else if not on the David bang. I take a deep breath, try to feel and or dive into my slightly chaotic feelings. "How's the wound?" a message back made my phone glow. Bang David, back he sent me a message. "Nyeri, Bang. Banget.." I said. "His medicine is drunk?" message again. "Had Bang. Eight o'clock" I said. "Besok Abang bring more powerful drugs. Don't hit the water just yet, dear Fara.." reply again. "Thank you brother, baby." I said. That's how our conversation continues. A relationship without a definite status. Relationships are hard to name. I don't know until when, I don't know. What dayaku. That's for sure until I sleep tonight. Far away.so far away at night.
