Go And Back

Eps. 20 They gathered

"Because today's mom and dad want to come here, I have to move to a new house..." Kiara.

"Nearby..." Kayra immediately hugged Kiara warmly.

"The smartphone has been set.. So there's an app whose account can be two people."

"I mean this one?" Kayra said while showing her smartphone screen.

"Really! If there's an incoming message from my friends, Lo can answer so I'm there. But still I can monitor if Lo is confused..."

"Yes Ki! Thanks yeah..."

"I should be the one who thanks Lo" Kiara said smilingly.

Kiara and Kayra came out of the room. It looks like Ayu and Kenzo are preparing to take Kiara to a new home.

"Kia! take care of yourself there. If there is anything, you can contact us directly" said Ayu while hugging Kiara.

"Yes brother! That's gotta!"

"Let's go!" Kenzo. They're all out of the house. Kiara was silent for a moment to look around the house that has a lot of memory in it.

It's very hard for Kiara to get out of this house.

It was a beautiful morning. Kiara just looked at the atmosphere of the city from behind the window. Kayra who noticed it immediately clasped Kiara's hand. Kiara turned her head towards him and smiled at her twin sister.

The car stopped right in the yard of Kiara's house, which she now lives in. They got out of the car.

"I'm sorry Kia, we can't stop by yet" Kenzo said.

"Yes, it's nothing. Mama and I must be waiting" Kiara said.

"Rian... Come to aunty Kia yaa's house sometime!" His connection to Rian who was in his arms Ayu.

"Then we say hi Ki!"

The three of them set out again to pick up their parents. Kiara was alone in the house.

"Huf... It's so quiet!" Gerrutu Kiara's.

...****************...

"So... From today, we call you Kiara huh Kay?" Ayu said reminding Kayra.

"Ah yes" said Kayra.

His feelings were very happy to mix sad also because he had to separate from his twin sister. Though what Kayra wanted was for them to come together without exception. But unfortunately his expectations did not match Kayra's expectations.

It took me three hours to get to my mom and dad's house. Kayra saw that simple minimalist wooden house that was lived by their parents.

"Gee.. The house is very nice" muttered Kayra.

"Same dad does love a house like this and also lives away from the crowd" Kenzo explained. Kayra just nodded in understanding.

In the courtyard of the house, Lia and Dennis, who are the names of Kenzo's mother and father, Kiara, and Kayra, are waiting for them.

The four of them got out of the car to shake hands and transport their goods.

"For ma!" Ayu said.

"By first too, baby! Wahh... It's big" said Lia.

"For ya! Ma!" Kenzo.

"Hohoh... Yes yes.. How are you?"

"Healthy dad. What about dad?" Ask Kenzo.

"As you can see, I'm fine. Eums... Kiara's? Why are you there, son?" Says Dennis who noticed Kayra behind Kenzo.

"ahahahahah.. Ti-No dad! How's dad doing?" Kayra said and hugged Dennis. Honestly he was very awkward because the first time he met his biological parents.

"Of course it's good, son!"

"Ma-Mr... " Said Kayra.

"Dear, my dear, my son is big..." Lia hugged Kayra warmly. Kayra felt very comfortable being hugged by Lia. I do not know how long he always expects the presence of the figure of mother and father.

"Let's go to the house" said Kenzo. They all got in the car.

...****************...

Arriving at home, Kayra helped lift a suitcase and carried it inside.

The atmosphere was immediately very foreign to Kayra because there was no presence of Kiara in this house.

"Aahs.. No ma." Kayra hurriedly went inside.

After moving some items, Kayra and Ayu prepared lunch for them.

Now Kenzo's house has been crowded since Lia and Dennis came to his house. Inexhaustibly they let go of longing. But in the midst of that happiness, Lia was silent and dumbstruck. Kayra knew exactly what she was thinking.

What would your mother react to knowing that I'm Kayra, not Kiara? Inner Kayra.

Kayra, who was watching Lia, clasped her hand tightly.

"What else do you think?" Ask Kayra.

"No dear..." Lia looked at Kayra's face very deeply. There was a sense of dread in his heart.

"Why is your face so different... Is it because we rarely meet?" Said Lia suddenly making the whole house mute.

"Ah.. Right ma! Maybe because my mom rarely sees me..." Kayra said awkwardly.

Kenzo and Ayu sigh at Kayra's reply.

...****************...

It doesn't feel like night has come. Kenzo was already preparing plans when his parents were home. That night they would eat together behind the house while enjoying the stars in the sky.

"Here's mama help!"

"Ah.. No need to ma! Mama sit down!" Ayu said.

"Mama is not good just quietly there, mama aja ya"

"This ma, if so Ayu take the ingredients again inside yes" Ayu rushed back into the house through the back door.

"Loh, kay-I mean Kiara? How are you still here? Not out?" Tanya Ayu saw Kayra still in the kitchen.

"Yes, brother, this is going there. There is an incoming message, he said next week will begin learning a new semester" explained Kayra.

"Ohh that means next week you have to go to school!"

Kayra was silent for a moment.

"I'm a little scared, brother! At school I was very happy, but I didn't know why I doubted. Fear of making mistakes later"

"Don't be afraid Kayra, I'm sure you can. Oh yes if there is a difficult lesson you can take lessons outside... Let's get out! The others are waiting..." Rich Ayu. He left Kayra first.

Huft.. That's not what I'm afraid of... But his people. Inner Kayra.

Kayra rushed out as well.

...****************...

At Kiara's house. He was watching television. The moment his stomach rang indicates he had to eat dinner.

"Ughs... Hungry!" Kiara got up from her seat and went to the kitchen. When he saw the contents of his refrigerator he just remembered there was nothing in the refrigerator.

"God! I forgot to buy food! Looks like I'll have to go to the nearest minimarket!" Kiara just picked up her wallet and Hoodie to go minimarket.

After buying some materials, he planned before returning home, he was about to pass by Kenzo's house from outside. When he got to the front of his house, it was like no one was there.

But he heard the laughter of his father who was very familiar.

They're behind apparently, what are they doing? Inner Kiara.

Kiara went to the back of the house and from behind the fence she could see them gathered there. Kiara misses them so much. He wanted to go inside and hug his mom and dad. But he broke it.

Lia who was engrossed in eating felt like someone was watching from the side. In a hurry he looked there. But no one was there.

Kenzo who saw it immediately looked to the side.

"What's the matter ma?" ask Kenzo.

"Ah... No, it was like someone was passing by" Lia said.

Kayra looked around. There was no one there. But his gaze came to a halt when he saw the figure of a beautiful girl smiling towards him.

Yep! It was Kiara. Only Kayra saw Kiara there. But after that Kiara rushed away from the place.

Kiara's... Inner Kayra.
