Horizon Event
Fill my promise to him
Battling with his increasingly blurred vision, his face also looked a little lethargic. While complaining, Andi went down the stairs and entered the living room. Oh yes the living room and dining room become one. If she wanted to cook for her sister, she went straight to the living room.
“...Huh?”
A slightly strange sight was from usual to welcome Andi from waking up.
The wooden chair in the middle of the family room is now tilted to the side, like a shield. Behind it, there was the head of a little girl with short hair who was trembling there.
“I already know who's there.”
Andi stepped silently, she directly approached the other side of the table.
Surely, Ira was sitting there hugging her knees and trembling in fear. Andi prepared horses that were ready to surprise from behind.
“Graaaaahhh..!”
“Kyaaa…! Kyaaa..!”
As Andi held onto his sister's shoulder, Ira shouted a terrified and desperate scream along with loosening her legs and arms.
“Quiet! Relax Ira! This is your usual sister who is passionate and likes to smile.”
“Gyaaa…! Gyaaa…? Huhhh…? Ka-kakkk..?”
Hugging her brother, Ira who was frightened while shedding tears. Andi felt pity, she immediately grabbed onto Ira's head and stroked slowly. He said something in a funny tone.
“Cuppp…! Cupp...! Yes.”
“Kakkak an. Not scary anymore?”
“Udah is okay now. Me, his brother Ira now.”
“Oh, ohhhhhh...?”
After Andi spoke in a funny tone, the tense face of her sister Ira slowly calmed down and the shape of her face began to smile sweetly.
Like a wild cat that has opened its heart.
“Sorry! Pardon me! I'll make breakfast now.”
After removing his hand from Ira's head and standing up, Andi put the chair tilted by his sister back to its original position and went to the kitchen, where he began to cook breakfast for his sister.
Because of working abroad for business purposes developing electronic devices, both Andi's parents often travel from home.
In those moments, Andi was always responsible for preparing food, so he was used to it. In fact, Andi was convinced that she could use the cooking utensils in the kitchen better than her mother.
While Andi was picking up some eggs from the refrigerator, she heard a TV sound from behind. It seems Ira has calmed down while turning on the TV.
Take the remote and turn on the TV in front of it.
“...The Meteorological Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) clarified the widespread news circulating on social media networks about the earthquake forecast in Surabaya and Madura, East Java.”.
“...The head of BMKG, Dwikorita Karnawati said, actually the earthquake potential is not only in the Surabaya and Madura regions, but also in the region, but also in most parts of Indonesia which are in the circle of the Pacific Ring of Fire formed by active tectonic plate motion.”.
“Didn't it seem in the area around there are many earthquakes? Especially the tsunami last year.”
“...The Pacific Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped zone and becomes the most active earthquake belt zone in the world. Not only Indonesia, other regions, such as Japan, Taiwan, and New Zealand are also included in the Pacific Ring of Fire, said Dwikorita, Monday 02-07-2018.”.
“...Therefore, he appealed to the public together with the government and other stakeholders better be pro-active in preparing efforts to mitigate earthquakes and tsunamis rather than fussing over earthquake forecasts and predictions.”.
“...Hmmm, looks like that, huh. Maybe a little too fast.”.
“...He said, disaster mitigation can be done, among others, educating the public about how to prepare for protection and safety before, during and after an earthquake.”.
“...Another thing that can be done is to set up buildings and infrastructure that match the building code or earthquake resistant building requirements, establish spatial area based on disaster-prone maps, prepare evacuation routes, and, and build a temporary shelter for vertical evacuation of the tsunami threat in the coastal area.”.
Ira spoke to herself, leaning her body against the arm of the sofa. Andi who was looking at the TV show in front is still on.
“Too fast? What is too fast?”
“Nnn. Daeyah panya.”
This time it was you who tilted his head, in astonishment.
Not because of what Ira said, but because half the sentence sounds a little unclear, because he ate a piece of his favorite candy, namely lollipop candy.
Andi quietly circled the side of the dining table, then walked towards the side of the sofa which was lined by Ira.
Ira may have noticed, as Andi approached, but she found out and slowly began to turn her face away.
“Vira. Take a look over here for a second, deh!”
Andi said with a smile to Ira. He listens to a strange voice that is heard from inside the mouth of his sister Ira.
“Iyaaayayaa.. Kyakyakkkk..”.
Seeing what was inside her mouth as she thought, Andi complained short while saying her slashing tone.
“...Hmmm. I've expected.”
Even though it was just before breakfast arrived, Ira was already enjoying her favorite candy, the lollipop that had entered her mouth.
“Hey! I told you not to open candy before eating?”
“NNNnn…! NNNnnnnn...!”
Andi's face stiffened while looking around at the place she had to hit, because Andi actually really didn't want to hit people with such a sweet face before, she thought twice.
“...Really deh. You should eat before snacking!”
In the end, it is you who give up. He immediately stroked Ira's head, and returned to the kitchen.
“Ohh! I love big brother..!”
“...Hmmm you are dear to the big brother how many grams anyway.?”
Andi responded by putting on a ground face, as she stepped back on her work in the kitchen with casual footsteps.
“...If you think about it, today is the opening ceremony of your Junior High School, right?”
Ira answered him spontaneously with enthusiasm.
“Yap right, sister.”
“Means you came home at lunch, yes. Ira, what do you want for lunch?”
“Hmmmm..?”
Ira thought for a moment while tilting her head slightly, then suddenly Ira approached her brother in the kitchen and pulled Andi's hand out of the house.
“Hambergerrrrr...!”
Said in a loud voice with a face of spirit, while pointing his finger at the restaurant across the street from his house.
Andi straightened up, and after that, looked down regretfully.
“Restaurant That's kannn..?”
“Ehhh... Whyaa..?”.
While sucking the lollipop, Ira replied in a disappointed voice. And on the other hand Andi complained loudly, then shrugged his shoulders.
“Yes already, this opportunity is only once. So, right home from school let's have a hamburger lunch at that restaurant.”
“Ohhh…! Really?”
“Yes. Then, we meet at the family restaurant that it was after school.”
Andi said in such a lazy manner, and on the other hand Ira rubbed his hands together excitedly.
“Ok brother. Asikkkk...!”.
With excitement he immediately said something to his brother.
“Don't pull your words huh brother! The promise! Brother must be there despite an earthquake or fire or a tsunami or even if the restaurant is occupied by terrorists or.!”.
Unintentionally, he cut the words of his sister who almost digress. With a slight movement of small blows to Ira's head.
“Aduhhhh..!”
A sweet voice came out of Ira's mouth.
“No. If there are terrorists there we cannot eat.”
“Iya, yes, I know.”
Hearing Andi say that, Ira excitedly raised her two hands up while shouting.
“Whoooo... Asikkk...!”.
Andi did not even think about whether this was too luxurious or not.
“Yeah, for today only time yes.”
“Ohh! Ok…! I love Brother..!”
“...Hmmm actually you dear to the big brother how many grams anyway?”
From this evening they will have to eat at home for a while, but today is the opening celebration for both of them. Having a little fun should not be a problem for the family.
Well, after all, the hamberger menu for children costs Rp.25000 and such a price cannot be said foya-foya too.
"Nnnnn...?"
Andi slightly stretched her body because she felt it was okay, then she opened the small window in the kitchen.
After finishing eating Andi rushed to clean the dishes and tidied the dining table. Her sister Ira rushed to school, and she picked up the bag she had put on the sofa. He said to his brother who was cleaning the dishes.
“So I'm leaving first huh? Don't forget our promise huh?”
“Ok! Sister will not forget about it.”
Andi replied in a limp tone. After he finished he immediately rushed off by passing the door of his house. Arriving on the terrace of the house he could look up at the sky. As he said something.
“Sunny day yes.”
The sky is so bright and blue. Looks like today will be a fun day. But, Andi was a little sleepy while yawning long.
“Yoss…! Spirit!”
