Habits

It's Saturday

✴✴✴✴✴

At 4 p.m., Hana's parents kept their word that they were going to meet their friend.

"Where are you, Ma?"

"Homeof. They were coming home yesterday. But when Mama told me about you, they said you better rest first,"

The notification on Hana's phone caught her attention and she immediately saw who was sending the message.

"Hana, it's been there. Main hp mulu daritadi,"

"Eh? Hehe,"

The knee-length dress that Hana wore made her movements quite limited. Getting out of the car is a little difficult. She rarely wears a dress. In fact, it can be counted using fingers so far he has used a dress how many times. The average was a formal event, whereas the present circumstances astonished him.

Is this a formal event or something so she has to wear a dress?

"Assynolt,"

"Vaalaikumsalam. Hey, how are you?"

Mama shook hands and hugged an aunt Hana had never seen before. Same with Dad and an Om. They exchanged greetings. The couple was very friendly with a warm smile and looked like they were very close to Hana's parents.

"It's Hana? Oh, my God, I've never seen one before,"

"Yes, here. Just keep watch over his father,"

Hana smiled clumsyly. What does the aunt have to see herself for? Is there any business?

"Come on, come on in, please,"

Mom and Dad ahead of Hana's step ahead. The girl was still unfamiliar with the atmosphere now. He still felt unfamiliar and could not digest the situation.

This house is quite big. Although not as big as Hana's house, but this includes a house that is quite luxurious. Hana likes to paint clean white walls like this. Then combined with light blue. Ah, like a very simple minimalist house.

"Here, please drink,"

There are 6 glasses of orange juice there. This really is not just orange juice or orange extract. Hana likes that. But, uh,

Why is the glass 6? There are only five of them here.

"Hana, you never saw Auntie?"

Again, Hana smiled awkwardly. Remembering if he had met this aunt before.

"No, Auntie."

"Hana's too cute her son,"

Mama chuckles even more as Hana nudges her arm. And whispered,

"Mama, don't dong"

Now Hana really felt fooled by the circumstances because the parents just looked at her with a knotty smile. They whispered, and then looked at the girl in awe. And so on for a few minutes without asking her to speak.

No, rather he did not understand what they were talking about.

Hana tidied a little of her hair ties that Mama arranged like in a midget but more neat. Similar to a classic bun but more simple and easy. It was actually very comfortable, but Hana's exposed shoulder due to her dress model, made the girl feel a little uneasy.

Is it not too open?

"Well?"

The voice was quite familiar in Hana's ears and made her look back immediately. The figure he saw managed to make Hana's eyes and mouth perfectly round.

"You're one class, right? Hey, Zoha?"

He is Zoha Arkana Mahanipuna. The man who occupies the last absence in Hana's class.

✴✴✴✴✴

The sky that began to grow successfully warmed Hana's mind. Arkan - that's Zoha's call among his friends - also seems to be still in his mind. They sat on a wooden swing next to the pool behind Arkan's house.

Hana massaged her temple. It is very difficult to digest a situation like this.

-flashback

"You know what, Hana? Mama and Mama Zoha have known each other since childhood. Even Grandpa said, if Mama Zoha is a man, Grandpa wants Mama to marry Mama Zoha,"

They all laughed lightly. Except for Hana and Arkan. Hana doesn't understand where this conversation is going.

"We keep communicating even though each has a busy life. Until we are big. After Grandpa found out that Mama's son Zoha is a boy, it turns out that Grandpa's old wish was not a joke,"

Which wish? It's the first time Hana has trouble understanding Mama's story.

"Grandfather's last request, the same as he said before. Grandpa still wants Mama and Mama Zoha to be a family. But can't you, Mama married Mama Zoha?"

The soft caress of Mama's hand on Hana's shoulder was not able to make her mind catch the story. He kept thinking, what is the purpose of Mama talking about all this?

"So, Grandpa lowered that desire to you, too,"

Which wish is it now?

Hana hoped that someone would pull her out of this confusing situation.

"You want Grandpa's last request?"

Ah, Mama. Hana really doesn't like opening up memories about Grandpa. He must have endured all his tears

Grandpa is an immortal hero to Hana. When her parents left for work, Hana spent time with Grandpa. Fishing, or learning to swim.

Grandma died while Hana was still in Mama's cage. Passing a lot of time alone, Grandpa must have been very lonely. With Hana, Grandpa was no longer lonely. So did Hana who did not feel lonely because of Mama and Dad who went to work.

Grandpa's death was the biggest blow to Hana's heart. It happened when Hana was about to pass Junior High School, a month before the graduation exam took place. Eventually, Mama decides to take Hana back from Boarding School. And switch schools in place now with a full day system.

Come on Hana, you have to be strong. Don't let those tears fall here.

"I-I don't want to, Ma."

"Grandpa wants you to marry his son Aunt Rey,"

Grandpa used to call Aunt Rey's name. But Hana doesn't know who the aunt is. And Grandpa never told me the details about him.

Hana's eyebrows are linked. Then why are they even at Arkan's house? Not to Aunt Rey's house.

"This is Aunt Rey. Zoha*,"

DEG

Time seems to stop. There was no reflex that Hana did other than to widen her eyes and clench her lips tightly.

Is the world really this small?

-flashback off

I don't know how many times, Hana exhaled her original heavy breath. Then cover the face with your hands, and massage the temple.

Confused, angry, resentful, everything mixed. Hana did not know what action she should take, and what answer she should give. They say, don't delay too long.

Hannah didn't want to keep them waiting. He must immediately confirm everything.

The answer is obvious, right? Of course Hana will refuse.

But suddenly the shadows of Mama, Dad, and Grandpa filled his head. Imagining them smiling happily to Hana made her feel happiness too.

Adhering to and carrying out their requests was a must for him. He is an only child. Who else could make both his parents and his grandfather proud?

His ridiculous wish had truly come true. It's appropriate lately Dad always ask and discuss about marriage.

When he was faced and just nodded to realize his wishes, Hana was reluctant.

No, this is not the path he wants.

Not suddenly like this. And not with Arkan, if he can refuse.

"Where?"

All of Hana's thoughts that connect each incident, erased as Arkan spoke. The girl was still holding the pool water so calm. He wanted to throw himself in there to feel lighter.

"I don't know,"

Again, Hana covered her face and exhaled an original breath. It is a habit to be confused with a decision.

Even if Hana accepts this, will Arkan do the same?

Sure didn't.

The girl knows how Arkan behaves even if it's not too close. How that guy even just responded to a beautiful woman, made Hana feel small.

In the past, the early 10th grade Hana was once quite close to Arkan even though it was just a chat. No more than 2 months, Hana stayed away. He was traumatized by the guy at the time. After the incident with the ex-fuckers.

"They need a quick answer,"

"Just answer what's on your mind,"

"What is your answer?"

Damnit. Why does that guy ask that? Hana really doesn't know what to answer. This is the hardest thing Hana has ever experienced to date.

"I said it, deh. Whatever,"

"Who? It can't be, dong. You don't take it, how?"

"Makanya cave tell you to answer because the cave resigned, the cave will accept anything. The cave's too confused,"

The afternoon air was not too cold but because the dress he was wearing exposed his legs and shoulders, he felt the wind was too piercing. Hana untied her hair and untied her wavy dark brown hair. Fortunately, her hair was not dry and fluffy.

"Related, will you take all the cave answers?"

Lazily speaking, Hana just nodded and tidied up a bit of her front hair.

"Will not be satisfied?"

"You're gonna mess up, the cave won't ask you to answer. Please, the cave is very confused. Please answer as you think,"

Can Hana see from the tail of her eyes that the guy is looking at her with a difficult look at her.

"Don't be surprised, yeah."

Hana was grieving and chuckling. What kind of warning is that?

"Everyone knows your answer,"

"What's the light?"

"Yes, what else but 'no'? That's his choice,"

Arkan laughed lightly. Damn, what's so funny about Hana?

"Who is the answer to only one? If they're rich, there's no way they'll give us a choice,"

"Yes but you're going to choose 'no', right?"

"You cave pick the other one, how about it?"

Ja.

Yeah, meaning?

Will he accept everything? That mean?

"Arana Hana, the cave says don't be surprised,"

Everything suddenly became buzzing in Hana's ears.

✴✴✴✴✴

"Kok, Mama never said that Aunt Rey is Arkan's mother?"

"Mama has lost contact with him for about 2 years, since you graduated Junior High,"

"Keep, how can I see you again?"

"Look at his name in one of the members of your homeroom group. At first I thought, maybe there are many of the same names. He also did not have a profile picture. But in your early 12th grade, Aunt Rey posted a picture of her and Zoha,"

The road tonight is not as jammed as usual. Now it is Sunday night. Hana snorted while looking at the praying vehicle two and four that honked the horn many times.

'Cave turns the same road Haris aja, just jammed really.'

Remembering Haris, Hana immediately opened the lock of her phone and found several incoming messages from the guy.
