Fire Sun

The Most Terrible Memory

Gesna understood himself. When he is asleep, it is often like a carcass and difficult to wake up. Although the alarm rang as loud as it did, as long as no man shook his body and splashed water, he would still sleep.

Today, Gustav did not return home. His brother could not be expected to wake Gesna up to the house of Thunder, at midnight. Trying to stay awake, Gesna turned on all the lights in the room. The guitar that will be given as a gift is also Gesna prepared near the door. That guitar was the guitar that Adit returned yesterday. Well, rather than redundant it is better to be given to Thunder alone.

In this house, no one will play that guitar. Gustav used to love playing guitar. However, the busyness of the lecture makes Gustav rarely touch the guitar again. All the mockups, all the designs both on paper and on the computer, make Gustav's face squiggly. Boro-boro wants to play guitar, if it is free, his brother prefers to sleep all day or watch television. And lately, Gustav rarely has free time.

Gesna chose to grab a sketchbook. He wants to draw at once as a birthday greeting later. His hand drew a slow and curved line, drawing the silhouette of a tall human being. The left and right sides are given wings. Not a human, Gesna was drawing an angel. Thunder is guardian angel. Although now what Thunder had to take care of was not him anymore, Thunder remained a good guard.

Gesna drew a guitar, a guitar with an empty frame in the middle. The guitar he would give. His angel was playing guitar in a garden as beautiful as heaven, surrounded by blooming flowers, bright blue sky cloudy white and perfect green grass. Not to forget Gesna wrote his initials JGV and said 'Happy Birthday, Gun!'

Gesna's lips began to evaporate, her eyes heavy. Geez, it's ten o'clock at night. There were still nearly two more hours he had to endure in order not to sleep. Drinking coffee? Did he make coffee, huh?

The effects of fatigue after exercise do make the body want to sleep. Gesna who had brewed the coffee then put the cup on the table. He turned to the window and opened the shutters, sitting on the sills just breathing the night breeze. Looking for a phone with no notification, Gesna wanted to call someone.

From earlier, his message to others was only answered briefly or unread. Asri and Adji said they were sleepy, wanting to sleep. It's likely that other basketball kids are like that, too. Naraya did not read the message until night, probably also sleeping. Ordinary who has not slept if the nights and often sent him a message that was just Adit, anyway.

Automatic Gesna hand scratching the back of the head. Why did his brain call that name? It passed by accidentally. After all, of all the students in the school that number in the hundreds, why must you cross paths with Adit, try?

Gesna started to curse at his own mind. The name cannot be called, it cannot be remembered. Haram law. Gesna doesn't want to know, doesn't want to remember, doesn't want to be friends. His sight was out. Lonely atmosphere. There were only dim lights that bowed down illuminating the path, standing firmly among the trees standing shady.

In the past, someone asked him to look at the window and the guy was already under the tree smiling as if he knew that the window was facing a tree. Aih, Gesna clucked loudly while passing the phone to the bed. What kind of memory is this? Crazy, this is terrible.

In a hurry, Gesna closed the window and got off the frame. Look for other busyness by observing the picture on the unfinished wall. He grabbed a pencil, made an extra thin sketch. Insert pictures of angels, pictures of guitars, pictures of coffee cups that have absolutely no connection. Gesna himself has not dared to color because he is worried that the results are ugly. A memory passed again. Didn't Adit ever offer to paint the entire wall if Gesna felt these images were too full?

Gesna immediately threw a pencil at the table and curled up on the bed. Why is there Adit-Adit so far? He must be unhealthy. Oh, yeah, maybe it's the effect of a bumping snore. It may be true said Guntur, his brain again pinched.

Bluish bruises are still visible on the bent leg in front of Gesna's face. No one's helping to compress, today. No one carried him to the sofa, no one opened his shoes until he struggled to open his own. Of course, there is also no free Cha-cha that meets the refrigerator let alone fed.

Gesna curses, insinuating the head under the pillow. What's up with today? Once you pass by, the effect is scary. Spookier than a haunted horror movie, more thrilling than a human cut-and-cut movie. The shadows about Adit came one by one. Gesna only realized he did not return the red bracelet that was circular in the hand, Adit advised when in Bandung. Damn, these bracelets are hard to take off.

While passing through the glass, Gesna realized that she was wearing Toothless clothes given by Adit. He opened the closet in a hurry and changed the clothes. Why didn't he return the shirt? Gesna coagulates Toothless's clothes and throws them into dirty clothes.

He was tired, his head was throbbing. Gesna did not so gulp coffee, reaching for the package of drug needs that were always in the bag to take a headache medicine. After taking the medicine, Gesna even gawked for a while. This packet of medicine used to be bought by Adit, right?

Gesna throws the package, cramming his head back on the bed. In fact, he had already blocked everything about the guy including his friends. All removed cleanly, without waste. Adit can't text or call. The boy also did not come back home, did not stay at school and they did not say hello when they met.

Gesna's head was getting sicker. This must be because his snoring is acting. Must be because of that. The rest is not for nothing. It's just a coincidence because he's not feeling well. Gesna tried to calm herself down while glancing at the clock.

Thirty minutes later at twelve, he immediately contacted Rainbow. "Ne, can you not yet? I'm so sleepy, yeah." Clearly he was lying, his drowsiness had already disappeared due to a name that came uninvited.

The girl who picked up her phone even answered with a typical sound of people waking up. "Udah. Brother's here, yes. I'm waiting downstairs."

Gesna turned off some of the lights and just turned on the sleeping lights. He ducked down to open the guitar box, put his picture in there, then rubbed the box just before he closed it back up and carried it.

Gesna's feet slowly descended the stairs. This guitar was an item purchased with overflowing anger. Had Adit told me first, maybe Gesna wasn't that angry. Hearing all the stories from others is certainly more stifling. What else does Adit explain? Rice has become porridge.

He walked out of the house without a vehicle. Thunder could recognize the sound of his scooter in this desolate atmosphere. After all, walking a little to buy time is also better. The neck is still a bit painful, but it is not a significant problem.

On the terrace, there is already a rainbow with a bent face. The girl half grumbled. "Not a motor? Old pants."

"If I bring a scooter, it sounds Thunder later," he whispered.

The two of them tiptoed in the darkness of the house. Gesna headed to the front of Thunder's room to put the guitar and Rainbow woke the old man up. The girl brought along a cake with an array of candles that had not been lit to the second floor.

Mamah knocked on the door of Thunder's room and Papah lit candles. Sounds low from the inside, the door is then opened.

"Birthday Happy!" exclaim them all while turning on the second floor lamp.

Face wake up Thunder who is not so aware then silent for a moment. Before long, the face brightened and smiled. They all sat in the middle room of the second floor, asking Thunder to blow out the candles.

"Happy birthday, Papah's son. The one who studies, the one who worships. May it always be the pride of parents, family and everyone." Papah hugged his only son and the hug returned Thunder.

"The son of Mamah is great. Happy birthday, Brother." Mama also hugged Thunder proudly.

"Didih, spoiled very brother. This hive is cut, hungry to know from the past concerned about this cake," decak Pelangi held out a cake cutting knife. "Make a big rainbow his cut."

"Yes, gallons." Thunder shuffled softly the head of the Rainbow fondly. "Thank you, yeah. It must be Gege's idea, right?"

"Come, come. Papah, Mom, Rainbow, Gugun. Look here, let Gesna take a photo. One, two, three." Gesna smiled, busy immortalizing everything through her mobile phone. Photo Thunder blowing out candles, cutting cakes and feeding to his family. Also the four of them looked very warm and pleasant.

"Gesna, here. Let's take a picture of five. Why are you there?" invite Mamah to wave. "Having long hands, can make slippery."

"If the rame-rame is wefie, Mah," the Thunder rattles.

"Just like that." Mom shook her hands and laughed.

They took pictures, forcing five heads into one frame. Rainbow and Gesna who realized that his face would be cut off were next to Papah Mamah, then moved to the back of the sofa. Standing behind Thunder while positioning their fingers on Thunder's head as if the guy had horns.

"Woy, Ge, Ngi," hissed Thunder who only answered his second laugh.

"What gift do you want?" ask Papah. "Do you want to invite your friends to lunch together?"

Thunder nodded. "Eat, deh, Pah. Tomorrow. Let me tell them today."

Papah recited the request of Thunder. "That's a gift from Gesna, you didn't bring it here?"

Thunder knew the contents of the box. He did not receive Gesna's gift. Gesna looked at him with a raging feeling. "Ge, this is it...."

Gesna hissed, asking Thunder to be silent. The girl then smiled as she put the box on Thunder's lap. "Worn, yeah. Okay well? Okay?"

"Open, open," Papah said enthusiastically. The man was getting excited to see the picture of Gesna is also a beautiful notched guitar with an empty frame in the middle. "Well, so cute all. Pictures, guitar. I can borrow a guitar tomorrow, right?"

"Try it, Pah." Thunder gave the guitar to Papah.

"Well, the guitar's too good for amateurs." The guitar that Papah received was played immediately. Papah sang Happy Birthday, accompanied by Mama and Pelangi. They sang while clapping small and happy.

All of that was again recorded Gesna with a warmed chest. At least, the guitar is worn by the right people. There is nothing more pleasant than a gift given, liked by the recipient.

They closed the impromptu event by both eating the cake that Thunder had cut.

"Abang, the pieces for Gesna should be large. Look at her body, so skinny now. Like people don't eat" said Mamah when Thunder cut the cake. The woman who directly gave the Gesna part. "It has to run out, yeah. Mama doesn't want to know."

"Yeah." Gesna. "This is the diet again."

"What diet?" Mamah glared while the others laughed, realizing that it was only Gesna's excuse. "Look, right, Pah? I'm like a board now."

"Well, who knows what the trend of today's children is, Mah? Gesna is popular so follow the times. That, right?" Papah laughs.

Gesna shook her head while cutting out the chocolate-flavored cake. "Gesna is cupu, Pah. Not famous. Thunder is famous. Basketball boy, OSIS kid too. His girlfriend is also the son of OSIS," Gesna responded by bribing cake with the right hand while the left hand fiddled with the phone, sending all the recordings and photos to Rainbow as well as Thunder.

"Lho, you got a girlfriend, Bang?" My face changed immediately.

"Ge," the murmur of Thunder detached.

Gesna immediately closed his mouth that was careless, let alone Thunder had already widened towards him. He grimaced while poking at the cake. How did he know that Thunder didn't tell the family? He told Gustav when he was dating Adit. Shit, why is Adit again, anyway? Gesna scratched his head.

"New near me, Mah. Gege likes to recriminate indeed," Thunder explained as he glanced at Gesna who pretended to be busy with cookies to save himself.

"Certainly, Gesna?" Mamah returned to Gesna. Mamah's gaze made Gesna flutter.

"Gesna doesn't know, Mah. Kirain dating." He groped, trying to make an innocent face.

"Ye, his name's a fellow son of OSIS. It's natural to be together often." Thunder pulled Gesna's hair softly, coding Gesna so as not to say dangerous things again.

"Well, sister Gesna stayed here, huh? He didn't have a bike, he said he was afraid he would wake up." The rainbow cuts off the conversation to save her two brothers. Gesna understood, surely tonight the girl will interrogate the typical Gesna sisters who want to know the gossip about the brother.

"Yes, already. Hayuk's asleep. Here's the rest of the cake to let Mamah in the fridge. Don't get the bad luck tomorrow. Gesna wants Mamah to wake up at what time? Five or half six?"

"Wake it up from five o'clock, Mah. The awakening was at half-six," ledek Thunder chuckled, which Gesna immediately elbowed.

They got up, headed for their rooms. Thunder was again embraced by Mamah and Papah, while Gesna had already drawn Rainbow into the room for questioning.

"Sister, who's Brother's girlfriend?" investigate Rainbow after closing the door.

Gesna shook her head, pretending to be stupid. "I don't know, ask him. I don't know anything."

"Lied."

Gesna started hissing. "Gue is an innocent innocent innocent innocent innocent child, Ngi. Tega you accuse me like that. What is my fault and my sin?"

The door of the Rainbow room was slowly knocked. The sound of thunder was calling out to him. "Gege, open."

Gesna felt like jumping into bed, darling Rainbow even opened the door.

"Ge, don't talk to Mamah anymore" asked Guntur when he entered the rainbow room. Thunder's gaze was no joke.

"Yes, sori. I didn't mean it," I looked down and flicked a nail that wasn't really dirty.

Thunder hands rose to his head and scrambled Gesna's hair. "Yes, sorry. Watch out for you next time," said Guntur softly while embracing Gesna's shoulder. "Well, is there nothing?"

Gesna nodded casually, answering as if all was fine.

"The guitar is nothing to me?"

"Ask again, I told you to pay lo," snorted Gesna lazily while patting Thunder on the shoulder.

The embrace of Thunder tightened, hugging Gesna for a moment. "Thank you, surprise, card." Thunder also reached for the rainbow with his other hand. "Lo too, Ngi. Thanks, my dear."

"There's a will for sure" Rainbow sneered as Thunder kissed the top of his head.

"Know you. You must have known from Gesna. Don't tell Mama the same Papah." Thunder embraces Rainbow on the left and Gesna on the right. "Three photos, yuk. Make replace old photos we're so old."

"If the photo of the three, he said that in the middle of a quick death, Gun," booed Gesna when they repeatedly changed the face style.

"The new gue is also a birthday, your prayer why is it so ugly?" Thunder roared Gesna's head. "Sana sleep lo on. I'm going to school tomorrow, yeah, Ge. You still have a weird road, huh."

Gesna nodded, staring at Thunder's departure while closing the door. He was happy that Thunder was happy.

"Okay, sister Gesna," whispered Rainbow pulling Gesna's hand onto the bed. "Thus ... Rainbow misses what story, huh?"
