Don't Want to Be Pathetic: NIGHT BUTTERFLIES
Section 8

Again and again.
Because Ira met her father last day as if it was a quiet night it was the right time to bring all the memories of the past.
Quietly, there used to be a short time when all the complete families were still together. At that time Ira had no younger brother. Father once took ira, his brother and mother to go to the garden to plant corn.
Located on the coast of the garden was not wide enough they planted it in the middle of coconut trees surrounded by pandan trees. He vaguely remembered because it was a long time before there was finally time for his mother to go to work out of town.
It's uncomfortable to live with a busy dad. In the house that used to be noisy will scream mother who always commented on anything when it turned into quiet silence. Eat only rice on the table because for side dishes must buy it to the front warteg.
Ira used to go and go home from school on foot. At that time not many people who have a motor vehicle let alone a car . Even many buses are still operating back and forth unlike today.
Ira's school home hours are different from her brother's but she always waits for her brother because she doesn't want to go home alone unless there are friends who are both on foot.
Remember once.
"Ira will go home from school first yes, just want extra volleyball first!" kakanya's orders.
When Ira came home, it just so happened that her boyfriend was not picked up by his mother so they walked. Because still children a lot of jokes and fears that are not basic. When there was a black box car he and his friend jumped into a ditch and hid because they thought the car was a kidnap.
When there were several motor vehicles passing by him and his friend pretended to be a statue after which they laughed out loud.
Arriving at the house Ira felt lonely because when opening the door there was no one but himself.
After changing clothes he went to grandma's house to eat. And went again to see his friend and played until the afternoon.
Like a child in general, every day in sports with many adventures from swimming in the river, looking for sea slugs on the beach. Riding sapodilla trees steal fruits in the garden owned by people and other ignorance.until the afternoon my grandmother picked her granddaughter home with wood to be hit, usually the right target is the butt or calf but grandma never does that. Wood is just a form of threat so that his grandson feels afraid and complies.
It is very pleasant even though the heart has felt lonely because it did not meet the mother for a long time but life at that time did not have much burden on the mind. There was only a happy laugh that sounded loud.
But in reality those moments were the beginning of all destruction and knew the pain of heartache.

*Duut duut duut duut* mobile phone vibrating incoming call resuscitate Ira.
He saw the call from Ari.
"Huh Ari? tumben dih. yes?" (lifting incoming calls).
"Have you slept, Mom?"
"Not yet this is still a casual sit usually enjoy the night."
"Tumben (glancing at the watch 01:25) is calling this hour" he continued.
"I can't sleep."
"Is there a Ri problem?"
"There really is, can you ask for help?"
"How can I help you, yes, tell me the problem first."
"Now? what's tomorrow at school?"
"Now I don't care to be curious."
"So you want some peace?"
"meaning?"
"From all this time, this relationship is just a cement?"
"Haha what the hell is that talking? it's Ri."
"Do you have any?"
Tacit. Not only Ari, but she likes him. But, so far he has tried to hold it back so as not to exceed the limit more than liking. She was well aware that she was just an ordinary woman who had a dark life, a life that not all men would accept.
Never mind to be in a relationship, he does not even believe in the name of love. Not in disbelief, but he has not felt clearly how it feels to love and be loved sincerely, especially in being treated well by others.
"Rho? daydream yes?" asked Ari.
"Gue don't know you very well? and so it is, sometimes like this is better" Ira replied so that this conversation does not lengthen.
"Where to know Ra is given the opportunity to acquaintance not even."
"Ri?"
"What's? I don't know him so far, do I?"
"Yes, but you son of a bitch! you have one?"
"Who said?"
"Gue tau!"
"Not really, it's back. Do you have any?"
"What do I have to do with having a boyfriend?"
"It has to be. If you take it yourself I want to have hee."
"Start.began" Ira said with a laugh.
"But it's better no one has the hell, my heart is calm" Ari replied teasingly.
"It's not clear, so what does the call actually want? something will misunderstand."
"So gini, you know my girl works out of town?"
"You know, get to the point."
"His cheating on me, I don't want to say try to chat his guy to wonder really dating what's not like that?"
"Heum means try to get that guy?"
"Hehe yes, later I Broadcast your BBM pin to him. It must be in the invitation."
"It looks so?"
"Please?"
"Heum, but in BC to him, yes? don't go to anyone else. Males will be a lot of trash!"
"Yes yes."
"But by the way tumben so lo me?"
"Haha sorry, but if it's not wrong that mom started first."
"Yes, yeah."
"Yes. Thank you so much for sleeping tomorrow I'll see you at school!"
"Yes, he also wants to sleep (when he wakes up from his seat, go inside, close the kitchen door and into the room) he's talking tomorrow."
"This child is sleeping, don't stay up late, let alone think of the nonchalant."
"Yes dear." Ira with a smile.
"Haha yeah good night." Ari laughed softly hanging up the phone.
He himself said dear but he himself smiled shyly.
They are both so close. Even honest between the two once admitted that they have mutual likes, he said, but trying to keep the relationship from feeling awkward (dating) because according to the two is so close that it is more comfortable compared to if they are dating and then break up someday the situation will not be the same as in the first place at first, and it doesn't have to happen.
So far the two have decided to get to know each other as friends, Ari who is busy with her personal affairs and Ira with her dark life. Although sometimes in their own feelings, the two hope to find a meeting point where they can share stories and make stories.
The woman turned off the room lights, doused her phone and sat on the bed. The sound of a cock crowing indicates that the night has passed into the morning.
Pulling the blanket lying down sleeping facing the right. Paying attention to the book lying on the table, a gust of fan tried to open the page but the book remained unopened.
The young woman fell asleep. It was common for him to sleep in the middle of the night when tomorrow he had to go to school. No one cares how he sets the bedtime, when he wakes up and how he learns he always does everything at will.
