Gerald was on the couch in front of the blazing television. It wasn't Gerald who was watching that TV, it was the TV that was watching Gerald. The man was lying on the couch with his legs raised next to him. His mind twisted the incident at school earlier. Why did she suddenly confess that Arania was her boyfriend? And why doesn't he like to see Arania hurt by others? Ah, just thinking about it has made him dizzy.
"Why do you keep daydreaming? What else do you think?" Ask Mother Gerald.
Gerald awoke from his daydream, "thinking nothing, mother" he replied lying.
This large house is only occupied by 3 people, namely Gerald, Mother, and his assistant. Since the departure of his father the state of the house became quiet, there was no joke.
"If your father were still here. Definitely will not be deserted gini," said mother sad.
Gerald changed his position to sit, he could not see his mother sad. "Mother don't feel sad, mother still has me."
Mother smiled at Gerald, "yes. You're really. Mother still has you, only you have now. Mommy's so grateful to have you, don't go away from mom, huh?"
Gerald nodded confidently, "yes mother,"
"Gerald,"
"Yes mother?"
"There's something important that you should know about,"
Gerald looked at Mother seriously, "what mother?"
"You're pu–"

"Excuse me!" The sound of someone and the bell ringing many times made Gerald snort annoyed, he already knew who did it. Who else if not his two friends? Nathan, who likes to touch the bell of Gerald and Adit, imitates the courier delivery package. It felt like Gerald wanted to drown them in the swamps.
Mother stood intending to open the door held by Gerald, "i'm the one who opened the door," said Gerrad reciprocated nod by mother.
Gerald walked over with a lazy step then opened the door.
"Is this really Gerald Sanjaya's house?" Adit asked jokingly, Nathan beside him also laughed at Gerald's annoyed face.
"I didn't miss anything. You better get out of my house." Gerrlad
"New dateng expelled, rhyme ripple?" Nathan asked while displaying his arm muscles.
Adit glared and then squeezed Nathan's arm muscles, "hard njir! Teach ginian dong,"
Nathan smiled happily, "relax, I'll teach you. Pay five hundred thousand dollars a day, not expensive."
"Damn it! Dahla I'm not going to study ama lo," said
"Jaudah you pay four hundred and ninety-nine thousand. It's cheap, right?"
"Pretty fat lo teeth!" Adit was getting upset while Nathan laughed out loud.
Gerald looked at them lazily, "cepet in. I closed it long ago."
Adit and Nathan enter Gerald's house and are welcomed by the mother.
"Ehhh there's Nathan with Adit. How's it going, son?" Ask your mother while smiling kindly.
Nathan and Adit exchanged your arms, "ok bun!" Answer them compact. From the first time they played at Gerald's house, the mother told them to call mother instead of aunt.
"What do you want to drink?" Mother offered the children a drink.
"Syrup aja bun, if it can be the same snack hehehe," said Adit while scratching his neck that does not itch.
"Ohh can dongg. What would Nathan drink?" Ask mother again.
"Cold white water is also gapapa kok bun," replied Nathan. Actually he also wants a sweet drink along with snacks. But he did not want to be labeled as a guest who did not know himself.
"Okay, just a second, yeah,"
After the mother goes to the kitchen, Nathan and Gerald stare at Adit in surprise.
"Rald, you're really bashful" Nathan said, staring at Adit and then Gerald.
"Temen lo, not my friend." Gerald replied jokingly but his tone sounded serious.
Adit rolled his eyes lazily. "Gue tau Than, you want syrup too, right? Mother nawarin. It's not good if I refuse,"
"Yes kaga! Gua chased him from the Middle School era and just four months of dating when I broke up," replied Nathan.
Adit mangosteen then turned to Gerald, he squinted his eyes suspiciously. "Well, what's the same relationship with that class?"
Gerald looked at the lazy Adit, "there's no."
"Masa? Boong lu huh? How did you say he was your girlfriend?" Adit's starting kepo now.
"When?"
"So."
"When then?"
Adit clucked in annoyance, "so anjir! Because he was bullied by Naya and Rachel."
"He who?" Again Gerald's question made Adit emotional.
"Arania, anjrit!"
"Oh. Just how about him doang." Gerald answered honestly.
Nathan who had only listened since then now his forehead frowned. "Since when do you care about a girl you don't know? Except Sarah ama mother,"
Gerald is silent, he is confused as to what to answer because Nathan's words have a point. Usually he looks bodo time if there are women who are being bullied at school.
"Well, it's kicep," and then Adit and Nathan laughed.
"What's the hell talking about? Like really cool," Mommy comes while carrying a tray containing drinks along with a banana sponge that was made by the mother.
"Gerald's got a girlfriend tau, bun!" Said Adit warming up Gerald. It seems Gerald was not provoked by emotion.
"Wahh! Is that really honey?" Ask Gerald.
Gerald replied casually, "cock bun,"
"Gerald lied to you, bun!"
Gerald glared sharply at Adit, "Lo is lying."
Adit grimaced in fear while Nathan tried to refrain from laughing at Adit's face.
Mother sighed softly, "don't fight, it's her sponge eaten."
Gerald took two pieces of the sponge and walked to the fridge. He took his soft drink and then gulped it down.
Mother gawking saw Adit who ate the sponge so greedily. "They're not many mothers!" Nathan glared at Adit. Ah, a guest who does not know himself, he thought so.
Mommy laughed a little, "yes, tomorrow mama make a lot,"
...***...
After his friends came home, Gerald helped his mother tidy up the glasses. Then, he turned to the sofa and leaned back.
Seeing the mother who wanted to climb the stairs Gerald hurriedly held her back. "Mother wait!"
"What did mom say?"
Mother was silent for a moment, "you really have a sister, Gerald."
Gerald pecked, his eyes pointing to the mother. There are no lies in sight, but sadness. "Why don't I ever know?"
"First dad ngelarang mother to tell. Because I know since childhood you are reckless, I'm afraid you think, you continue to find him yourself. But now you're big, so you'll let me know now."
"So why isn't he home with me?"
"She was taken by an old maid of trust, mother also did not know where she was taken. And now you know where she is."
"You want to, find him?" Continue mother full of hope.
"Where is she now, mother?"
"The orphanage is far from here. I'll give you the address,"
