Even & Odd

26

The bus that Fersya and Aries boarded and Ira's friends stopped at the same place they left four days ago. One by one get out of the bus carrying their own belongings and theater equipment. No exception Fersya, actually Fersya is not obliged to bring the theater tools, but Fersya will also feel bad if it does not help at all.

Fersya put down the theater he was carrying and immediately approached Aries. He was tired, wanted to hurry home but Fersya did not see Aries or Ira. Fersya anyway it does not matter if you have to go home alone but Fersya can not go home without saying goodbye and Fersya can not do it alone because of shame.

Newly Fersya wants to ask one of Ira's friends - who by the way Fersya forgets what his name is - but Aries has already called him while running around.

"Where the hell is that? I have been looking for you know. I'm going home first, Ris."

"Well, it's a coincidence" Aries said as he caught his breath and Fersya tried to pull out the water bottle he had bought in Bandung, "Nyokap you've been waiting in the parking lot." aries' speech stopped Fersya from giving the man his water bottle.

Aries who had not realized the attitude of Fersya who was suddenly silent because of his speech instead snatched a bottle of water from Fersya's hand and drank the contents until the toilet. Fersya did not care if his drinking water ran out, he was going home anyway. But if you remember the words Aries earlier that his mother is waiting in the parking lot to make Fersya tense.

Fersya was not ready to talk about the matter yet, Fersya really wanted to rest, go straight home and sleep in his room. But if Mama picks up, maybe Fersya is negative, but Fersya can not deny that Fersya does not want to discuss the problem anymore.

"Fer," Aries who had finished drinking the water given by Fersya just realized that the girl in front of him was silent from the moment he said the word. "if you are not ready to meet nyokap lo let me tell him that I am the one who anter lo go home."

Fersya was speechless, the girl was confused as to how. Fersya did not want to go home with his mother for fear of discussing it again, but if he thinks about it, wouldn't these four days Fersya have run away from his problems enough? Isn't it time to talk carefully and make peace with all the decisions that will come? Isn't now the time for Fersya to be brave with his own decisions?

After a long silence and thought Fersya finally got his answer. With a sledgehammer and a smile Fersya answered.

"No, I'm going home with you."

***

In his car, Fersya and his mother were quiet. No one starts the conversation. Fersya was too awkward to start a conversation, whereas Fani was too afraid her son would ignore the conversation.

No, Fani wasn't that stupid to start a conversation by bringing up their problems. Instead of improving, relationships that have been in the stage of destruction will actually be destroyed.

Fani just wanted to have a casual conversation with Fersya, because during Fersya went to Bandung four days ago made Fani a little more aware that he was very favoritism with his son that one.

When the twins go home from school, Fani usually asks them how the activities at school, Fersya who is funny when asked just answer it. And that's where Fani's fault, instead of continuing to provoke Fersya to tell more stories, he even let it go until Fani was cool to chat with Farsya.

Except for their debates, Fani and Fersya can be said to rarely talk casually like a conversation between Mother and child. But this time Fani had that chance, so instead of fear it's better to be brave, right?

"Where is the activity there? Exclaim?"

Fersya who was fighting with his own mind, when one of his thoughts told him to start the conversation first then the other thought said that it was not ready, not yet, the inner quarrel was actually still durable until Fani broke the silence and made Fersya who was not ready to answer with a stutter.

"Ehhh, I cried Ma. Hehe."

"Mama used to be in the theater, exclaimed. Really right? Moreover, fitting staging tuh it feels all tired and effort that has been exterminated does not feel. Just cool on stage, a little wrong, bodo very audience where we know there is a wrong word or movement. Wrong a lot, just don't mess up on stage because of it. If Mama inget first, really exciting anyway, either from the process or just the staging again."

"Have you ever been to the theater?"

"Early." Fani's car stopped, not because they had reached home but because the red light was on.

Hearing his mother who had participated in the theater made Fersya's curiosity arise. "What agent is Ma?"

The red light has turned green, the road is quite smooth after the red light was surfing the talk of Mother and child in this car. They talk until they unknowingly get home.

Fersya took his bag that was in the back seat of the car and got out of the car. Fersya stopped to enter the house first, awaited by his mother who was putting a car into the garage and after that they both went into the house together.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Eca's home!" it wasn't Fersya who said it but his mother.

It turned out that his father and Farsya were already in the living room as if he was waiting for Fersya's return. It made Fersya warm up.

"Is Far healthy?"

"Udah is."

Farsya stretched out his hand, Fersya understood the meaning of Farsya's actions. Especially if it's not a hug. Yes, without realizing Fersya misses this house, although this house rarely gives comfort to him however the house itself remains the most comfortable.

Unknowingly Fersya misses the atmosphere in this house. Maybe Fersya rarely comes along if his parents and twin are gathering, but because it may have been usual to just see them talk casually make Fersya miss. Fersya used to be very envious and annoyed because they always gathered without Fersya.

But now Fersya realized that all this time either his parents or Farsya always invited himself to join, but Fersya always refused because of the negative thoughts Fersya who thought that they did not need Fersya. Basically the bad thoughts that always haunt him and make himself lose.

We see one by one family members in this house. His father, who although rarely at home because of his work, tried to support him. His mother who although often argue with him but does not mean anything else, Fersya feel that is the form of his Mama's love for him.

And Farsya. If asked if Fersya envied his twin? The answer is actually no. Fersya did not envy Farsya just that Fersya envied the circumstances that always supported Farsya. Fersya felt grateful for having a brother like Farsya. Farsya could have stayed away from him because of his more rude attitude than his sweetness to Farsya. But of all his attitude and treatment to Farsya never once Farsya asked let alone stay away. Farsya was always there for him.

Maybe his parents numbered him because of Farsya. But quite a person who always put Fersya together, who always prioritizes Fersya. Of course he is his own twin brother. Farsy.

Maybe now it has grown, his parents and also Aries. Aaahhh, you must have missed that one-fisted guy. Sama Fersya also really, but just this afternoon Fersya was still with Aries before finally having to go home because Fersya was tired.

By the way, what more Aries?
