Brother Gemes

A sport?

Sunday morning Noa took the time to jog around the complex and ended up in the park not far from boarding.

Last night's incident, the unexpected meeting was still imagined. That happy roar was still clearly drawn in Noa's mind.

It can't go on like this. Whatever happens, let it happen. Noa thought, let him be selfish for one thing. For these. He doesn't want to hang like this. He just has to fight, whatever the outcome will be let remain a secret of God for now.

Too long daydreaming in the park is actually uncomfortable. He felt the center of attention, especially from the mojangs. Beautiful but not interested.

According to others, he will be at abnormal values. But according to him and in addition to Jhon now, Noa feels normal. He still has an interest in others, even if only one. Only Tera could interest him. It also still has lust, even if it happens only to the idol of the heart.

Noa decided to go back to Kosan. He took the time to stop by to buy chicken porridge. Not just for him, but for the breakfast of all the hostesses. When he left, all the hostesses were still snoring in their rooms.

Fifteen minutes leisurely walk from the park to kosan, he passed while carrying chicken porridge.

He knocked on the main door, no one opened it.

Because the door is not in the key, he entered the boarding house. His intention was to head towards the kitchen, preparing breakfast for everyone's meal. But the intention was to remain intent, failing in the middle of the road as he passed through Tisna's kang room.

All the hostels are gathering there, focusing on an object that is usually used to communicate with others. Yeah, cellphone.

Noa curious. Maybe more suspicious. What is it that everyone gathered in one room looks at one thing with its focus.

Noa took the initiative to enter Tisna's kang room and who realized his presence was only Acep kang. One of the boarding residents who was still in college signaled for Noa to approach them.

"Kang, I bought you breakfast. Chicken porridge."

He opened a conversation with those who were still focused on looking at the phone.

Kang Acep who had been aware of Noa's presence from the beginning replied.

"Kadieu.engke we ngabuburna mah. Aya nu leuwih asik pokona mah."

(Today.later buried him. There's something more funny about the pokonya).

Noa who was curious from the beginning, rushed to the bandit horde. Yes thief.

In the eyes of normal women, they were like a gang of criminals, let alone seen from their current looks. Just an assumption, their faces were indeed made too fugitive this morning.

Noa finally joined them. Kang Acep sat him in the middle right to the left of the serious Tisna kang holding his phone.

Noa looking at the phone screen. And what did he see?

It turns out they are doing activities playing Ludo congregation. Noa began to doubt the continuation of his life that had turned into a more twisty.

"Akang, that's ludo?" noa asked in a plain tone to break the silence created.

All who initially focused on the phone screen turned to look at him with a flat face. They looked at him without speaking. Noa who is treated and in such a response just grin and scratch the head.

Kang Engkos still with his flat face answered Noa's stupid question.

"Cing atuh Noa, maneh geus gede maenya kakara nyaho ieu ludo? Noa, maneh ti town pan? Sanes tenyom down the mountain?"

(Duh Noa. You've been great this new time tau this ludo. Noa, you're from town, right? Not a monkey down the mountain?).

Kang Ajat spoke up "Noa, maneh tong is a box."

(Noa, you don't be a curd /village monkey).

"It's our ritual every Sunday if we all gather at the boarding house. Every morning we wake up like gini. The muter-muter street until the ludo cape."

Kang Tisna gave an explanation for their actions.

"It's healthier than jogging.hahaha" said kang Jhon sotoy.

"And until now our defending champion is still Tisna" Acep said.

Noa silently listened to the explanation of the master. Noa thought, they were compact. He also has to adjust to be able to be compact with them. It's a strange adaptation.

Understandably, he was hanging out with the bandits. Turns out he got the wrong boarding house, this is the rogues' headquarters. But in reality, he felt at home and comfortable with them.

"Geus.geus.urang further ok." said kang Tisna looked at all the rogues.

(Udah.udah.kita further okeh).

They're some kind of choir. Noa who was silent glanced right and left. He followed them all, focusing on looking at the screen of the phone held by the Kang Tisna.

Then Kang Tisna started the game again. Starting to move scene after scene of pawns that walk around the field of the game that was delayed and also heard the sound of the growls of the robbers when they become victims to enter the cage again.

Noa who was basically uninterested in the game, did not react in the slightest.

While the akang already moved restlessly and their faces were full of expression. Noa is still calm. He even had to pay attention to one by one their faces and Kang Tisna who they said the defending champion was still a little calm. Oh, he's the master.

Finally, one by one they fell. Kang Engkos was first eliminated. He was kicked out of the room at the Acep kang stack a few minutes later.

Kang Ajat is no longer strong to walk due to a crushing defeat. He dragged Kang Tisna out of the room.

The fate of Kang Jhon is also no less fateful. Woefully, he was rolled out of the mattress and continued rolling out of the room by the Kang Tisna. There's noa and the remaining Kang Tisna.

Half the game of Kang Tisna still survives. And there was the beginning of the overthrow of the throne of the master. The defending champion fell as well. Noa is taking the master. Kang Tisna didn't know Noa was watching the game.

Noa knew very well his senior weakness. Kang Tisna threw her phone and Noa quickly caught it. Kang Tisna ran towards the toilet due to the deep sadness she experienced after being defeated by her junior.

All have died on the battlefield. Noa kept Tisna's mobile phone in bed after turning off the phone.

Noa continued the initial intention of preparing breakfast. He poured all the porridge in the bowl so they could have breakfast.

A few minutes later, Noa finally finished preparing breakfast, and she immediately sat down at the dinner table.

The strange Kang Ajat saw Noa adem speak up.

"No, you're fine."

Noa bribed the chicken porridge while staring at the Ajat kang. He swallowed the porridge and answered. "Hmm.it's still morning, kang. Still adem."

"issh.polos lo mah. Celebrate your victory dong, O creature adem."

Kang Ajat grumbled because of the answer made by Noa.

He understood the meaning of kang Ajat. But he is lazy when he has to respond with pride.

Kang Jhon entered the dining room and was surprised to see Noa and Kang Ajat. Kang Jhon lowered his eyebrows, while Noa only smiled in response.

After a while and Noa's chicken porridge was almost gone, the hostess's residents had already fully surrounded the dining table. They all thanked Noa.

They had breakfast throwing jokes and ridicule at each other. Engraved smiles and blaring laughter decorate the breakfast atmosphere at this boarding house.

Noa did not want to lose this moment. A precious moment that he rarely got even from Mother. If only he had a complete family, had a father. Mother will not spend her time just to work or think about all the needs of Noa to be fulfilled properly. Maybe he can get more love from his mother.

He imagined this at home. Father, Mother and himself surround the dining table. Joking with them, laughing happily like a whole family in general. How happy his life is.

And on the one hand, he remembered Tera. Remembering last night when Tera was joking and laughing with someone. How foolish Noa was, imagining Tera happy with her. All that happiness was in his mind. In reality, he could only find jokes and laughter at this time.

Among all the happiness created at this time, precisely in this kosan, his heart was sliced. It feels like sliced.

Bemoan. Grievous.

Life can only sing one song. Sad song. Elegies.

He does not wail.

Wh-wh-what for?

Lamenting fate is futile. He struggles to climb this life to find one thing at a time that he does not have.

Like a puzzle being played. He arranged one by one until it became a whole unit. Find one by one taste, in addition to the sad song that ringed in his ears.

Every human being who has the opportunity to live in this world has the right to choose his way of life. Feel everything God has prepared. Living the twists of life. Feel sad and happy to change like a spinning wheel, sometimes on top of a depressed switch below. And he waited for time to feel it too.

An early human being will feel more of what is happening in his or her life. But that does not mean the new to climb into life without experience.

Everyone will feel what God has provided. His destiny and fate. The fate that has been set and the fate that toyed with it. Man is only a play of a play. And it also has a turn in it. This is the beginning of his story.
