CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Spirits Seasoning

"Sir Lambok soy sauce and also a lot of mind Ma'am..." The doctor who handled Lambok said.

Atala, Tia and Twins listen to the Doctor's words.

"For a while Mr. Lambok was treated here." Said Doctor.

"No Doc... I just want to go home. I'm more comfortable resting at home." Lambok Pinta.

"Yes Doc... Let my husband stay home. I'll take care of him." Tia said.

The doctor breathed. "Well, if that's what you want, Mom and Dad. I will make a recipe, then please redeem and drink according to the rules." Pinta Doctor.

Lambok and Tia nodded. They were out of the doctor's room shortly.

Atala pushed the Lambok wheelchair. Vita holds Tristan. Lita took Tia.

"Ma... Why did you let Papa come home?" Ask Lita.

"Papa and Mama don't like Hospitals, honey..." Canda Tia's. Tia smiled remembering when she was hospitalized. He whines for home. And Lambok tried to get himself out of the hospital quickly.

"Shock Mama smile to herself?" Lita wonder.

"Yes... Papa is also smiling to himself." Atala.

Lambok looked up at Tia and blinked his eyes. Tia blushed in shame.

"Father and Mama are right... They must be remembering the story at the Hospital, right Ma?" Said Vita.

Tia nodded. Atala opened the car door and helped Lambok get into the car. Atala returned the wheelchair to the Hospital's lobby.

In the car, Tia and Lambok tell the story of Tia being treated at the Hospital. Lambok also told me about himself who kept going back and forth in the Hospital.

"Wouldn't Papa be treated?" Tanya Lita who laughs at her parents' story.

"Yes dear..." Lambok. "For Papa, the elixir is just your Mama's smile and the joy of her heart." Lambok Temptation.

"Then why do you say Doctor Papa has so many thoughts?" Ask Atala wonder.

"Lately Papa has seen your mother grieving. Papa knows what causes it. Papa was confused as to what to do, so Papa kept thinking about it." Lambok.

Tia stroked Lambok's hand. "I'm sorry, I'm the one..." Tia leaned her head against Lambok's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Atala ya Ma.. Pa... Atala knows, all because of Atala. Mama is sad. Papa is sick at the thought of a sad Mama." Atala said regretfully.

Tia rubbed Atala's shoulder from behind. "Yes Iaaang... You promised you wouldn't be moody again." Entertain Tia.

"Certainly Ma?" Ask Lambok.

Tia nodded. "Before Papa came home, Atala was making a pact with Mama." Canda Tia's.

Lita stroked Atala's arm. "Yes, my sister is still thinking about it. We're not going to question Atala's status." Said Lita.

Atala nodded. "Atala was grateful, God gave Atala a family that loved Atala very much. Atala promises from now on won't remember that anymore." Atala Promise.

"Alhamdulillaah...!" Sahut They are together.

"Ma... Papa wants to eat now." Lambok said spoiled.

"Alhamdulilla..." Tia looks happy. Tia rushed to open the provisions that had been brought which were only eaten a little by Lambok.

Tia feeds Lambok affectionately. Vita smiled at the affection of her parents.

Atala has started to go to college. Atala always picked up Fathir or Fathir who was sandwiched to Atala's house.

Atala and Fathir are one faculty and one department. Atala and Fathir became idols on campus. Girls from different faculties are always looking for opportunities to get close to Atala and Fathir.

Senior Atala and Fathir also tried to approach them.

"Is there something wrong with our faces?" Atala looks upset.

"Haha.... You could have. God created our perfect face. To them, we are the most beautiful gift to behold..." Fathir is still laughing.

Atala punched Fathir on the shoulder slowly. "There are you. I'm uncomfortable knowing. In the past when High School was like this too, pick up twins at school was like this too. Do I wear a mask tomorrow..." Canda Atala's.

"Pake the veil only Atala... Ahhaha..." Canda Fathir's. "Partially why you take a headache, let it go, later if they are bored not ignored by you, They will also stay away." Fathir said again.

Atala breathed. He sipped his avocado juice.

"If I think, far away from college in Jakarta, leaving my parents in Sumatra, I should be proud of them. The girls just think of it as our encouragement." Canda Fathir's.

"If I feel disturbed, especially if they roll in my arms... Iihhhh very brave... If Lita saw all this, she would've cursed the girls." Atala chuckled remembering her sister.

"Oh yeah? Did ya? Lita looking after you?" Fathir doesn't believe it.

Atala nodded while scratching her non-itchy nape.

"Then, once in a while we'll bring Twins here. Let the girls see that we already have a boyfriend." Fathir Proposal.

"But which Vita would. He won't care if I'm teased by another girl." Atala looks moody.

Fathir stroked Atala's shoulder. "Vita is special. He doesn't want to think about things that aren't important. He knows, you'll definitely be able to take care of yourself."

"Yes Fathir, you're right... That's why I love Vita so much, my sister." Atala.

"What?! So seriously you like Vita?" Fathir was shocked in disbelief.

Atala nodded.

"But you guys are....." Fathir did not continue his words.

"Sister and sister, you mean?" Atala.

Fathir nodded. Atala breathed.

"I'm not their big brother. It turns out that when I was a baby, I found my mom in front of her rented door." Atala looks sad.

"Whataaa??!!" Fathir was surprised. Fathir stroked Atala's shoulder.

"Then you know all this, how do Mama Tia and Papa Lambok respond as well as Twins?" Ask Fathir.

"They don't mind my status. My mom doesn't even want me to remember this. Mama would be very sad if I kept thinking about my status. Papa's day is sick because Mama always thinks of me." Atala's Story.

"Then, you're very lucky to have them Atala. But you should also be grateful that you and Vita are not siblings." Fathir.

"Yes I've thought about that. I must be happy or sad with the revelation of my status. I tried to stay away from them, but Lita would be very angry if my attitude changed." Atala said again.

"They love you so much, Atala. Just like I always loved you." Fathir shrugged Atala's shoulders.

Atala smiled. "Thank you Fathir, you are indeed my best brother." Atala.

"You don't feel sad anymore. We focus on reaching our goals." Fathir.

"I'm asking you, don't tell anyone about this. Especially with Mama Andra." Atala.

Fathir smiled and raised both fingers. "I promise, but I'm sorry that I'm lost." Canda Fathir's.

"Same is a lie..." Atala hit Fathir on the shoulder.

"Haha..." They laugh together.

The doorbell to the class has been heard. Atala and Fathir rushed into the classroom feeling joy.
