Come Again

“Gue feels more excited.” Luna poked the fruit in front of her with a fork, then devoured it into her mouth.

Dylan who was still peeling the mangoes glanced at Luna at a glance. After that he refocused on the knife in hand.

Luna leaning forward Dylan, “Lo stay here!”

This man put all the cut fruit on the plate. He put down the knife and stood up.

“Gue can't stay.” Dylan steps closer to the water tap, “pity that Mom lives alone at home.”

The girl pouted and showed her disappointed face. However, he still ate Dylan's pieces.

After washing Dylan's hands again approached the dining table and sat down at the place before.

He extended one hand. Pasting the back of the hand onto Luna's forehead. Then retract the hand after checking the girl's body temperature.

“Tomorrow has started college again?”

Luna nodded slowly and was not excited. He turned to Dylan, then put the fork to the plate.

“Lo pick me up! We went to the campus together.”

Dylan smiled faintly while nodding his head.

“Assyik!” Luna exclaimed with both hands clenched upwards.

“Lo do not forget to keep taking the medicine. The fever is getting lower. Don't let it get worse.”

“Ready, Boss.” Luna saluted Dylan, “by the way Elin said, Brian was suspended 3 days.”

“Good dong. Because of him we fell.”

“Actually I want to thank Brian for making us fall.”

Dylan's forehead shriveled at Luna's words, “Why even thank you?”

“Because if not Brian has made us fall. You won't be this careful with me.” Luna smiled at the end of her sentence. Unlike Dylan who stared flatly at Luna.

Dylan picked up the backpack that was on the living room sofa. It's getting late afternoon. He should be home soon.

“Kak, why not just stay the night anyway? Bhiru ‘kan still want to play with Brother.” Bhiru's question got an agreed nod from Luna.

Dylan rubbed the boy's hair, “Mother Sister is alone at home, Dek. Tomorrow I'll play again.”

“Appointment yes?” Bhiru stretched out his little finger.

This man replied by frowning his little finger on Bhiru's finger, “Janji.”

Sinta rubbed her youngest child's head, “You don't force Kak Dylan. Who knows he has a task tomorrow.”

Bhiru only looked up for a moment to look at the mother standing next to him.

“Nothing, Aunt. If there is a task I will do the night or we study together here.”

“That's a great idea. From the main continue,” said Wardana who strongly agreed.

Unlike Dylan who smiled, Bhiru instead put on his lazy face.

“Ya already, I say Om, Auntie, everything.”

Dylan walked out of the house as the whole family was left idle. Luna herself led Dylan to the door.

“Be careful yes!” Luna waved her hand while smiling widely.

Dylan lowered his gaze and nodded. He immediately put on a helmet and ran the bike.

A black car stopped across from Rania's house. The woman who just came home from work did not know that she was being followed by someone.

“Mas, I'm already at his house. You should come here! I will send you the location soon.”

After hanging up the phone. He was busy tinkering with the smartphone. He completed his task along with Dylan who had just arrived home.

“Assalammulaicum, Mom!” Dylan removed the helmet and placed it on a bamboo bench on the porch of the house.

“Waalaikumsalam!” Rania came out with a changed shirt. Dylan immediately kissed the back of his mother's hand, “how is Luna doing? Already improving?”

Dylan dropped his buttocks onto the bamboo bench, “He had a fever.”

“Jeez to fever?”

“Don't worry, Mom. Now the fever has gone down. He already looks better.”

“thank goodness, have you eaten?” rania asked, watching her son take off his shoes.

“Already, Bu.” Dylan looked up at his mother, “Tante Sinta had served the meal.”

“Then let's go in! Shower first. Shower definitely not ‘kan?”

Dylan stood up and shook his head. With Rania's shoulder, the child and mother walked into the house.

A man with a scarf and swearing at the sweater got out of the car with his men guiding him.

“Where is Alika's home?” ask the man with pale lips.

This woman called Alika pointed at the small house across from her.

“According to their neighbor just a week moved into that house, Mas.”

“Come we'll get there!” Alika nodded and led her husband to the house that Rania and Dylan were now living in.

Alika knocked on the door three times. Arga, whose health is now declining, is just waiting for someone to open the door.

“Wait a minute!” shouted the man from inside and before long the door opened. The friendly smile of the person who welcomed their arrival faded away as he knew who he was looking at right now.

Rania wanted to close the door again but the bodyguard Arga brought held the door.

“What are you here for? Get the hell out of here!”

Rania's screams reached Dylan's ears. The young man who had just finished the bath stopped his steps as he wanted to enter the room.

“My wife and I just want to see Dylan. We want Dylan to stay with us,” explained Arga slowly.

Rania looked at the woman next to Arga. He was surprised to find out.

“That mom at the restaurant? Mom tailing me?”

“Sorry, Ma'am. I took advantage of Mbak's ignorance of me.”

Rania looked back at Arga and shook her head, “No one can take Dylan! Dylan is my son not your son!”

Worried to hear Rania furiously Dylan ran out with a towel still coiled around her neck.

“What's up, Mom?” dylan asked the middle-aged woman.

Rania hugged her son very tightly. He was very afraid that Dylan would be taken away by Arga. Dylan turned to the guest he had not expected to come.

“What do you want here?” Dylan pointed out, “quick go! Don't make my mother suffer again.”

“Father to here to.. agh...” Arga suddenly drowned and almost fell if Alika did not hold it.

“Mas!”

Dylan and Rania were also shocked by what had happened to the man.
