“We must mean to ourselves first before we become a valuable person to others.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
“Mama, Papa.” Said Dave shocked to see the old man in front of him. “Dave, oh mom kangen.” Dave's mother immediately hugged the child warmly just that wayangnya. “You guys are here?’ Dave asked in wonder. “Emang should not parents miss their children?” Mama Dave hugged Dave. “How are you doing?” Ask Papa Dave who was already standing from his seat.
“Good Pa.” Dave also touched his Papa's hand. “This is who Dave?” Ask Dave's mom to see me behind Dave. “I Sarah Aunty.” I also touched the hand of Dave's mother. “Sarah? Oh Risty's son? How are you doing? Wow so beautiful yes now.” He said as he stroked my long black hair.
“Good Aunt, Auntie how are you?” My toot. “Tante well Sarah, Dave often stories about you same Aunt, you still remember the same Aunt Rita Om Albert, you used to play to the house of Tantekan?” “Iya Aunty, Sarah is still interested in kok.” My speech.
“Pa, why Sarah is not Pa? that's Bu Risty's son with Mr. Alex, his little friend Dave at SD.” Aunty Rita to Om Albert. “Oh Sarah, how are you?” Ask About Albert. “Good Om, Om how are you?” My toot. “Om Good, how are your parents?” Ask Albert who makes me nervous.
“Me-they.” Saying stammered. “Ma, Pa, Dave up first yes, want to go again abis this, want to massage his hands Sarah, was falling sprained time at School.” Said Dave who immediately pulled my right hand and led me to his room upstairs. “Iya, later Sarah we chat again yes, Auntie the same Om also want to go to meet Aunty here.” Aunt Rita. “I-iya Aunt, be careful on the road.” Afterwards Dave's parents left Dave's house in the white luxury car I saw from Dave's bedroom window. They like me no yes.
“Why you?” Dave asked who was sitting next to me on the edge of his bed after he had taken the item he had borrowed from Ivan. “Ehmm Gak pa-pa.” My speech. “Yakin?” He said and put his left hand on my shoulder. “Iya no pa-pa, yes already let us leave now.” I got up from my seat and walked out of Dave's room. What should I do, should I tell Dave the truth.
The next day at school, after yesterday my hand was sorted by the neighbor who was in Ivan's house, I was still thinking about something that since yesterday had disturbed my mind. “Honey, Dear.” Call Dave to me gently. “Eh Dave, why?” I was surprised to be called Dave when we were at the School Canteen.
“Why is the food not eaten? You sick?” He put the back of his hand on my forehead. “No, no pa-pa Dave.” I pulled his hand from my forehead. “Or is his left hand still hurting?” Ask again full of worry. “No real pa-pa, don't worry about it.” I stroked her cheek covered in fine fur, she took my hand and gave a kiss there. “Ya already if not pa-pa, now you eat first yes.” Say Dave. “Iya.” I said with a nod.
I also tried to put food on my plate with a mind that flew thinking of something. “Oh yes, tomorrow is Saturday, my parents invite you to dinner, you want ya?” He sees me expectantly. “Iya I want.” My answer. “Sip, I'll pick up ya.” Say Dave. “Iya Dave.” I looked again at the rice on my plate. God what should I do.
I looked up at the warm white cloudy blue sky because of the sunlight with my mind floating along with the white cloud. Mother what should I do.
I fell down and did not feel my tears falling down my cheeks. Sarah's evil ma'am, Sarah's confused how else.
“Dave where?” Ask. “Oh Dave was already back first Brother, he had some business outside, so hurry behind it.” My speech. “Ohh.” I don't know why every short answer from Indra has never been a problem for me. I turned my eyes up to the sky again.
“Why you?” Ask Indra. “Gak pa-pa Kak.” I bowed and breathed heavily. “Do not pretend to be strong if you are sad again.” Indra's words immediately made the tear crystal that I had been able to resist breaking for a moment, I remained bowed with a sobbing that I could no longer endure. Indra rubbed my head making me spill my sadness even more. “Cry, take everything out so that your heart is calm.” Without any more words from Indra made the desolate passage filled with only my sobs.
After the incident at school in the quiet hallway on the third floor, I now sit on the edge of the basketball court looking at the man who heard my cry just now by putting a red round ball into the basketball hoop.
“Great Brother, from earlier go on.” I yelled at Indra and she just smiled at me. “You try playing?” Ask. “Ehmm can't Sis, it will fall again.” My speech. “Now here, I'll throw the ball, come here.” I stood up from my seat and approached Indra.
“This is you in front, hold the ball like this so it's good time throwing it.” Her speech. “Gini Brother.” I said with the position shown by Indra. “Hand is a bit up.” Indra said and accidentally his palm touched the back of my hand with its position right behind me. I looked back, making our eyes meet for a few seconds. This feeling.
And suddenly Indra's face was in front of me that made my lips and lips meet, the basketball that I was holding fell into the basketball court that only existed Indra and me. “Kak.” My speech. “Sorry.” He immediately took a few steps back so as to distance the meeting of our lips earlier.
I was just downcast and instantly my heart felt guilty with Dave. “I'm back first huh Kak.” I quickly picked up my bag on the sidelines and walked quickly to the school gate without looking back at the figure of Indra who was still standing on the basketball court. What are you doing Sarah, you stupid Sarah.
After arriving at the school gate, when I was looking for a cellphone in my bag that had sounded when I left the basketball court, but when I was looking for a cell phone in my bag I saw a black car that was still stuck in the parking lot of the school that I knew whose car it was. Brother Edgar.
SERIATE.
