Brother Gemes

Amendment

"Mad, that one. It's just that."

Noa was at Ahmad's house, precisely in Ahmad's garden. The holiday he spent by helping Ahmad harvest mangoes.

His brother Ahmad shouted under a tree to direct his son to pluck the right fruit on the tree there. Noa picked mango fruit that Ahmad picked. While Dimas sat on a bamboo bale while peeling the mango skin.

Ahmad's brother was a kind, friendly and hardworking type. Just returning home from work he did not sleep immediately, but helped three teenagers harvest the fruit and he who will transport the fruit for sale.

"Udah. Hitherto. Come down, Mad." cried Abah Ahmad.

"Down, Mad. Ntar lo be kayak Justin." exclaimed Noa.

Dimas throws Noa using mango seeds.

"Don't gibahin Justin" said Dimas.

Noa laughed without a sound. Looking happy was more than enough for him.

Ahmad came down from the tree. He ran to the bamboo bale approaching the mango on the plate instead of approaching Dimas. Finished picking up mangoes, Noa and Abah Ahmad sat in bamboo bale to enjoy this harvest.

"Hape lo vibrate, noh." point Dimas to Noa's phone.

'There's a call coming in from Tera. Hm, Tera tumben phone.'

Noa: "Hallo."

Scene: "Hallo, emm...Noah."

Noa: "Hm, why?"

Tera: "Father. Temenin I'm at home. Wanna don't?"

Noa: "Acque. I'm otewe now."

Tut..phone connection at broken Tera. No need to linger because love has called him, Noa said goodbye to everyone who was there. Dimas and Ahmad saw Noa asking for an explanation.

"Gue go first huh" Noa said to her two best friends

"-you're welcome, Noa's home."

Abah nodded while eating mangoes.

"Who's calling?" ask Dimas curiously.

"Theera." Noa replied briefly.

"Wow.." cried Ahmad who glared.

Noa walked to where the motorbike was parked and went straight to Tera's house.

The journey does not take long. He was in front of Tera's house. He got off the motor and knocked on the door of the house. Before long, Tera opened the door and invited Noa to enter.

"What's wrong?" noa asked while sitting on the sofa.

"Temenin me." replied Tera briefly.

Noa raised the eyebrows. "Lo's not 'so deket' me anymore?"

"It's still good." replied Tera.

"Well, I'm back."

Noa stood up but was stopped by Tera. His wrists are tightly choked.

"Don't. Here aja." pinta Tera weld.

Noa sat back on the sofa. It's just changing position to be next to Tera.

"Lo gapapa, right?" ask Noa curiously.

Tera only shook her head to answer Noa's original question worried about her plight.

"Aslina aing mah is confused. Tera, what's the matter with you?" ask Noa.

Tera shook her head again without answering a word. Noa waited a long time, but Tera did not speak at all.

"Road yuk." take Noa.

And Noa got another response besides the headband. Tera turned to the side, to where Noa was.

"Where?" ask Tera.

"Where are you going? I'll take you there" Noa said.

"Gue wants to curug" said Tera spirit

Noa smiled. "Where? Okay. Change shirt. We're going there now."

Tera looked on in disbelief but he obeyed Noa's orders.

The motor drove to where Tera wanted to connect. Tera's in Noa's bollard. He sat in an orderly manner without chatter that adorned during the trip to reach the destination.

Noa invited Tera to a waterfall not far from the educational tourist attractions. Noa even rolled up the jeans Tera was wearing.

"No." replied Tera while shaking her head.

They walked along the shallow water. Noa held Tera's hand. It doesn't matter the eyes of everyone around. Tera doesn't mind any of that.

The afternoon replaced the afternoon. The sun is going to go back to its quarrel. A sign for humans to return to their 'home.

Noa also invited Tera home, before he invited Tera to the boarding house to take the shell curtain.

Arriving at Tera's house, Noa did not go home as usual. He wanted to put a curtain of shells in front of Tera's room.

He showed the room by Tera, Noa also neatly put the curtain of shells in the door frame of the room.

After all, Noa moves the curtain of shells from end to end. Causes a distinctive ringing sound of clams clashing and other decorative clattering.

At that moment, for the first time Noa saw Tera smiling. The long smile he was waiting for. Stunned by his smile, he approached still staring fixedly at Tera.

He kissed Tera's lips at a glance to mark the smile that belonged to him.

"Thank you for today" said Tera slowly still with a smile.

"Hm, always make lo. I'm going home. Be careful at home, lock the door. It's a good dream." Noa said.

Tera escorted to her doorstep and Noa took the time to look at Tera who closed the door.

Kang Jhon is happy. Finally it works too. She has a boyfriend now. He said it was all thanks to borrowing the Noa motorbike.

"Cimot means lo" said Acep.

"Well that. I want to try not to bring the Noa motorbike to campus." cengir kang Jhon.

"Aren't you afraid of singles again, kang?"

Noa held the motor key while continuing to breakfast.

"Ah, singles again all fate, Noa. Take your motorbike to school" said the final Kang Jhon.

Noa was almost late because of listening to the morning curhatan kang Jhon. He refused to take the motorcycle to school.

Long story short, the motorbike is parked neatly in the school yard. Noa walked to class. Along the way, students in the corridor are engrossed with their respective cell phones.

He saw Tera's back passing away towards the toilet. Noa changed direction towards the toilet as well. Waiting for Tera to come out of the toilet while leaning against the wall.

Tera comes out too, and Noa pulls him into the school shed. He opened the door of the warehouse and brought Tera in, not forgetting to lock the door and immediately turned to where Tera was standing. Noa was fixated on the look in the eye that she thought was funny.

"Here sit." invite Noa to take Tera to sit on the mat worn.

"The ceremony.." point Tera without looking into Noa's face.

"Hm, just here" said Noa.

He and Tera stared at each other intensely. Even occasionally he inhaled the aroma coming from Tera's body which this morning was so fragrant. A soothing fragrance.

Tera looked up a little, like giving Noa time to be satisfied looking at her face. One question that rotated in his head was so disturbing that Tera asked him directly to the person who did have an answer for him.

"Why do you like me?" ask Tera.

"I don't know the ales. I love you. Darling lo. Everything is for you." replied Noa.

"Gue is not a feminine girl. Honestly, I am not perfect. I'm not like the other girls. I can't have children because I never thought of coming to the moon." Tera said so softly almost like a whisper.

Noa was surprised, of course. But not one bit disappointed with the honest story. As for Tera, she slightly regretted her honesty. He thought, Noa will not be like Jati who will accept himself as he is. Yet...

"I want it to be the same, how dong?" whispered Noa who fused their nose and forehead while smiling.

...Tera was surprised by the sincere tone of a Noa's words. The reflex that Tera was unaware of was that she hugged Noa tightly. Ck, Tera's tame, man.

"Gue's kayaking koalas again." joked Noa.

Tera snapped Noa's head violently without mercy, Noa laughed softly. Fear of sounding out.

Noa slowly pulled Tera's nape to slightly bow, he again united the lips that became opium. Tera is the only one he wants in this world. And when that hope arises, he will never let it sink again.

Noa saw Tera smiling in this kiss. In between this kiss also Noa smiled, not only to return the smile of the idol but also for feelings that may have been reciprocated. It's still a possibility, but that hope is still just as great.

Twice the smile rose, warm as the morning sun that appeared timidly illuminating the earth.

The red hue appeared, not because of the pulses of makeup. As soon as his natural reddish hue adorned his cheeks.

Long and flattened eyelashes further beautify his face. His charm was so strong that Noa was unable to turn away an instant. Again and again Tera carved out a sweet smile. The occasional curved lips always make the reddish hue reappear.

"Hm, Tera. Someday I will be my boyfriend." said Noa slowly.

Tera lowered her head without answering, her body gesture answering that statement. Still with her hands draping beautifully at Noa's nape, Tera brought her face close to Noa's neck.

Tera hugged Noa tighter and tighter. The regular breaths were so pronounced around Noa's neck, he let Tera stay in this position. All Noa did was smile.
