Brother Gemes

Smile

One week after the incident in Noa's boarding room, Tera always spends time daydreaming. Jati several times invited him to meet, he asked for a way but Tera always refused. For some reason, every time Jati asked to meet, Tera always remembered the figure of Noa.

Tera realizes her boyfriend is Jati, but she accidentally always remembers Noa. It flashed in the shadow of just the figure of Noa, making many rejections at the request of her own boyfriend. It's not because of the photographs Jati sent someone unknown to her home the other day.

Tera thought, of course. But he did not take heart, all the decisions were on Teak. There comes a time when Tera can decide something for their happiness.

Tera's arrival to Noa kosan the other day was not planned. He was lazy to go home and his feet stepped into the boarding of Noa. Tera had no idea what the attraction was to the point that he could come and get stuck there.

In Noa's room, something happened. Something that is really just a misunderstanding. But that's not what's going on in Tera's mind right now. Tera did not understand Noa's way of thinking.

'How could he like me, who in reality never did him any good.

What does he like about me? I'm not a hot girl who likes to preen. Nor is a charismatic girl with a million charms to attract the attention of everyone. I am only Tera, a lonely, fierce, and simple seventeen-year-old woman. Simple in everyday life, simple in appearance.

What made him so interested? Keukeuh is after me. I always treated him badly, even rough. And that one sentence is still clearly remembered, repeatedly the sentence was like a lullaby when tired of welcoming.' Inner Tera.

'Sister, I'll wait for your second.'

Always ringing in Tera's ear about that one familiar sentence.

Here, he sits alone. In the park not far from the housing where he lived. He sat down daydreaming, occasionally watching the people around. His eyes were fixed on a four-year-old boy playing with his father and mother. Her happiness.

Tera imagined, if the child was her. Like that, like a child, that was his first feeling. Blissfully. Live with a complete family. That simple.

An unfamiliar voice broke the daydream. That voice, the voice that made his life slowly change.

"Justin handle. Dim, hold the real kite."

Noa's Voice. Tera turned her head and there really was a figure of Noa there. Noa was carrying a monkey on her shoulder while flying a kite with two friends.

"Justin, watch out for jatoh. Hold on." exclaimed Noa.

Tera noticed Noa laughing with the people around her.

'Is that his happiness? Has he ever felt like he was in my current position?' thought Tera.

They didn't realize Tera was here, in the same place watching them.

"Dim, which I hold also let the spit fly" said Ahmad.

Dimas nodded while smiling at his best friend. Noa's skyline was already flying high. Dimas cheered happily, Tera saw them like kind of kindergarten boy.

"Wuuh.fly Justin. Look, the kite is flying." cried Noa.

The monkey on his shoulder clapped as if he understood and felt his pleasure.

"Have me. Got me." cried Ahmad.

Dimas turned to Ahmad's kite. He held the kite and Ahmad began to try to fly it. The sky was slowly flying higher and higher following Noa's kite.

"Mad, replace it." said Dimas.

Ahmad handed over his kite thread and let Dimas play.

"Justin, you want to change?" noa and the monkey nodded. Funny they. Like his father and son, ups.

Have you ever heard these words 'humans have a feeling when noticed even for a moment'. In other words, when we are noticed by others, long or short. The feeling we play there, by reflex we will turn to the source who notices us when we do not want to look there.

As if shown by something invisible, Noa glanced at Tera who was sitting watching him. Noa smiled.

Tera did not want to return that smile. His lips were stiff enough to smile sincerely.

So locked, after so long happiness never stopped in his life. Faux happiness and false laughter adorned his days until this very moment.

Smiling is just a formality of hospitality. But for Noa, Tera wanted to be able to smile like that. But he can't. It hard. It's all hard to do.

Noa was still looking with her smile, inviting her two best friends to turn their heads towards Noa looking. Dimas and Ahmad saw Tera, they were elbowing each other. Pointing Noa with his chin, that's what Dimas did and Ahmad just put his shoulder out.

"Mad, hold this." said Noa who handed Ahmad the kite thread.

Tera could hear Dimas say something as Noa approached him still holding a monkey on his shoulder.

"Well, the old wife and the young wife want to be known" said Dimas.

"Whose first wife?" asked Ahmad enthusiastically.

"Justin is just. Let him not be hurt. I'm the same Justin, he overdosed on bananas when he refused Noa" said Dimas.

"Si Tera dong's affair. That's your monkey food, ******. Yakali overdosed, who was over full of monkeys" said Ahmad while kicking Dimas's leg.

Noa got closer, approaching Tera who was still sitting on the park bench.

He was in front of Tera. Back there Tera saw Dimas and Ahmad walking towards his flock.

"Tera, alone. Join yuk." take Noa who makes Tera reflex stand up.

"Boss, the kite broke earlier friction is the same as Dimas" said Ahmad.

Noa turned to Dimas and Ahmad. "Hm, justin."

"She, menatin. It's Justin."

Dimas pointed at the monkey on Noa's shoulder.

"-- Noa's first wife."

And that speech was given in the head of Dimas. The narrator was Ahmad.

Noa gave his thumbs up to Ahmad.

'They're crazy but funny too. A crazy person always laughs at little children. I just found out it's really funny.' Inner Tera.

"Gue thought you'd like to bring the monkey here again." point Tera to the monkey on Noa's shoulder.

"No, that's animal exploitation. It is banned by the government. My beloved pawns." said Dimas.

"Gue no longer crushes. Justin likes to start. Isn't that right, Justin?" ask Noa.

Justin is moving with pleasure.

"lp.aa.uu..aa..."

"What does that mean, Dim?" ask Ahmad.

"Justin' son likes to start. Your love mouth is so, Noa." Dimas who interrupts directly exposed to instant toyoran from Noa.

"--oh, hm.meaning, what does Noa happy come from. I'm willing. It's."

"Asoy.." choor Ahmad and Noa.

"Lo, Justin. Very cool vow. I sacrifice for Noa. Uuh, the romantic." ledek Ahmad who got jubilant from his monkey Dimas.

Tera thought Dimas was sotoy, until he understood the language of monkeys.

'I don't understand, with this crazy group of people.' thought Tera.

"Monkey, very fierce lo. Macem the Tera. I doain hairy ass lo. Let's not be sexy anymore."

Ahmad's words not only invite the claw from the monkey but also from Tera.

"Lo call me a monkey?" maki Tera to Ahmad.

The one in Maki just relaxed.

"Lo is the same Justin. Lo kayak a baby monkey. There is no match for it."

"Mad, condition your speech, tired" said Noa warned one of his friends.

"-sorry, Tera. Ahmad is just kidding."

"Yeah, Tera mah used to talk pedes let alone the same lo. He also has to be immune to people's pedesin" Dimas said.

"I'm sorry about Tera !!!" tell Noa to her two best friends.

And Tera did not expect them to obey that order.

"I'm sorry." they said together.

Tera nodded. Dimas took his monkey and took Ahmad away from the presence of Tera. They leave Tera and Noa alone. Tera sat down again, and Noa sat down next to him.

"Lo's not mad at them, is he?" ask Noa.

Tera shook her head in response to the question just now.

"sorry. They have no intention of talking about it. Carried the atmosphere so the origin of nyeplos that." said Noa softly.

"Father." answered Tera briefly.

Noa smiled. Again and again. He smiles.

'It was so easy for him to share such a smile.' Tera's inner.

"Lo smiles often. It's so easy." said Tera who glanced at Noa and returned to face the front pretending to pay attention to the trees there.

"Smiling is also a form of worship. That smile is alms. The cheapest, do not buy" said Noa.

"If a smile could be bought. I want one to prepare if I really need to smile." murmured Tera.

"Lo can be..."

"So. Can't."

Tera interrupted while Noa was silent not continuing her words.

"---gue can not smile sincerely like that. I don't know what a real smile is."

Noa responded. "Gue also just discovered that sincere smile. I just heard what laughter looks like."

And Tera did not understand the meaning of Noa's words.

'About the mass?' thought Tera.

"Gue doesn't know what you mean" said Tera who knitted her brow confusedly trying to think but the answer was on Noa not in her head.

"Gue can help you 'smile'. We can find that smile together." said Noa full of sincerity.

'Can? How then?'
