FIRE FOR ARJUNA

FIRE FOR ARJUNA
Discourses Singapore



Morning at six o'clock, Sekar was awake. Although he only slept for a while, but he had gotten used to staying up early. Especially now that the routine is not just to take care of yourself. There is a little girl who needs her attention has also been her responsibility as long as she is a nanny.


"Neira hasn't woken up yet?" Just ask yourself.


As soon as possible he slid into the back bathroom, which was reserved for the servants. Thank goodness she came to the bathroom right after one of the waiters came out of there.


It immediately entered, cleansing his body and flushing his body with water. Finished with all the activity of cleaning yourself from top to bottom, Sekar out.


He changed clothes, dried his hair with a fan until it was half dry and then combed it neatly.


"Morning, Neira." Sekar immediately greeted the little girl who was standing and clinging to the edge of her bed. The boy laughed, stretching out his hands as if asking Sekar to immediately remove him from the baby box.


"Bring first." While taking care of the baby painstakingly, invited him to talk cheerfully as long as he undressed. He had also prepared warm water to wash the little girl's body.


In the bathroom, Sekar and Neira chatted cheerfully. Neira chattered typical baby, Sekar responded as if he understood. The sound of water splashing from the small pink tub added to their cheer this morning.


"Let's go out, Neira is already fragrant, it's beautiful."


After enveloping the little girl with a towel, Sekar carried her, took her out and immediately replaced her clothes. He took care of Neira. Someone was heard entering Neira's room. Sekar looked up, found Arjuna was neat also with his work uniform.


"Morning, Mas" said Sekar with a smile. He tried to neutralize his heart that suddenly had a thump because of the man this morning. He is groggy, because his relationship and Arjuna is no longer just an adopted brother, there is something more special between them now.


"Morning, Honey."


Arjuna came closer to him, peed his forehead for a while and then turned to kiss Neira's forehead. Getting such treatment, Sekar was like being flown into the air and gently slammed into a field of flowers. His heart was flourishing, if it smelled, it must have been very fragrant. Moreover, Arjuna called him affectionately. Truly, Sekar could not resist this beautiful feeling.


"You're done, go straight to the dinner table. Me, mommy and papa wait for you to eat together there."


Why is Arjuna so romantic? His words are full of gentleness. There was no longer the lo-gue that the man usually spoke. Inevitably Sekar had to repay him with the same thing.


"Yes, Mom, I'll be down in a minute."


Juna nodded, then left Neira and Sekar with a smile.


At exactly seven, they started breakfast. Neira, as usual, would sit in a special baby chair for her. She fed him who ate with gourd.


"Well, when will the test start tomorrow?"


Sekar turned his head, then immediately nodded to get the question from his adoptive father.


"Envigorous learning yes. Yesterday the Father with from Mother, he said you do not want to go straight to college. Want to take the test and ospeknya too."


"Yes, Sir. Let's be like other friends."


Mr. Beno smiled then nodded, as did Miss Mira. While Arjuna was listening, silent.


"Jun, tomorrow you go to Singapore. Papa was going there, but Papa still has work here."


"Must be tomorrow, Pa? How do you keep on? Who's coming to campus?"


Sekar stared at Arjuna with a hard to interpret look. That is, why Arjuna had to think about it that way. What if my mom and dad were suspicious.


"Some time can be delivered by the driver, Jun," replied his mother. He did not feel surprised by the question of his son, he felt, Arjuna did start to open up as a sister for Sekar now.


"Rubber, Mas. It can be alone. Public transport can also deliver."


"Somebody likes taking an angkot, huh?" ask Madam Mira while chuckling.


"Yes, Mom, so it's like you're still in school. Go home and ride an angkot."


They all laughed, except for Arjuna who looked glum behind his wry smile. I looked at the man who looked back at him.


Their talks stalled because Arjuna had to leave for the company immediately. Sekar let go of the man with a small smile that Arjuna replied.


In the afternoon, the magnificent house of mistress Mira the arrival of special guests. Special at least for that graceful middle-aged woman. Ema comes as usual, bringing her many souvenirs complete with toys for Neira.


"Ma, how's the engagement? Make it next week?"


"Mama hasn't talked about it with Juna, Em. Later after Juna came home from Singapore, Mama will discuss it with him."


"Well, Juna wants to go to Singapore, Ma?" ask the woman with passion.


"Rubber, Em. There's business to be done there."


"It just so happens, Ma, I'm going there tomorrow too. I have some business too, maybe I can go with Mas Juna huh Ma?"


Sekar who was inviting Neira to play, heard that. He turned his head for a moment, looking at Ema who looked so happy. Just trying to get rid of the jealousy that suddenly came ambushing. She suddenly felt sadness, but she immediately covered it with a smile when her eyes and Ema met.
