I'm the Forgotten One

You're Part of my Family.

The three of them were eating dessert as their dessert. The look on Agatha's face revealed a smile. The smile appeared behind her beautiful face. Either the smile will continue to be engraved on his face or just stop by and then just pass by.

He did not think that his parents could be so sweet since his return last afternoon. Keep smiling while feeding dessert into his mouth, so as not to pay attention to the two people in front of him. They were both confused as to why the little miss was smiling to herself. Shrugging each other's shoulders as they stared at each other, staring to ask.

“Non? Why smile for yourself?” bi Momon asked suddenly, stopping Agatha's activities.

Agatha who was smiling was surprised. “Gosh. Aunty surprised me aja.” Agatha stroked her chest softly which felt like it had collapsed. “I just want to smile again, Bi. Can't I?” said it.

“Ya can dong, Non," replied Bi Momon, “oh, Aunty guess because there is a green light from the master and mistress, Non.” Bi Momon laughed amusedly.

“What's the green light, Bi? This is not traffic loh,” Agatha denied. He knew what Bi Momon meant. This is definitely about his relationship with Welson.

“Tuh, his face is red, Non,” seductive Bi Momon, “if you look around it looks like a handsome and mature friend Non that one loh.”

Agatha frowned trying to digest what Bi Momon meant. “Where else, Bi?” tanyakanya.

“There, Non. Who turned down Aunt's offer this afternoon. If not wrong name Bejo what Logo, yes?” Bi Momon raised his hand to his chin as if he was thinking of something.

“Hahaha. Funny name,” said Mang Judas. The name Bi Momon mentioned seemed to tickle Mang Judas' stomach.

“Iya, Star Toedjoe is the logo Bejo Red Ginger,” replied Agatha. “No need to hear Bi Momon, Mang. Bi Momon is indeed the person, likes to change people's names without burden and consideration.” Agatha closed her mouth holding back a laugh.

“Wes ewes-ewes, bablas angine,” connect Mang Judas.

“Hahaha. Perfect fit, Mang, same Bi Momon.” Agatha laughing.

“Oh Yes, Non. Beling Bibi said that the Bejo was like he had met at Sta.Elisabeth Hospital which was fitting Non deh,” said Bi Momon.

Agatha stopped her activity and shook her head. “Feeling, Aunt. Dirgo is not Bejo. Don't like to change people's names, Bi!” agatha Protest.

“Hahaha. Auntie again, Non. Hence the oleng,” timpal Mang Judas while laughing.

“Shut!” Bi Momon glared towards Mang Judas.

“Siap. Because I'm handsome, so I have to be quiet.” Mang Judas made his face as cool as possible.

“Hahaha. Mang Judas turns out to be narcissistic as well.” Agatha laughing. His heart that felt lonely now felt alive and passionate again. Like a grass that withers in broad daylight, then refreshed when hit by rain. Maybe that was his mood at the moment.

“Non? Why don't you eat with Non? We can eat in the back room,” asked Mang Judas.

“Emang can't?” Agatha asked back.

“It is not so, Non. But Mang Judas felt bad,” replied Mang Judas as it is.

Agatha took a deep breath and exhaled. “Mang Judas definitely thinks that employers should not eat with assistants, so?”

“Iya, Non,” Bi Momon replied flat.

“At least Auntie is Mang Judas? Why answer a question that is not a question for Aunty?” ask Agatha. Bi Momon's face pouted. However, it felt like he wanted to laugh out loud when he saw the reaction of Bi Momon when he heard his words earlier.

“Hahaha. You little mouse. Play with a robot, Bi.” Mang Judas laughed out loud.

“Oh yes. Why did Auntie and Mang Judas eat together? Because I know, you're the one who's been with me all along. I consider you a part of my family. I don't want to compare between employers and assistants, between rich and poor, between black and white, between respected and humiliated. Because what? We are in God's eyes the same, it makes no difference. However, it is man himself who distinguishes it, making himself bring a nature that likes to compare with the lives of others. The edges arise conflict, there appears a difference of understanding between each other,” said Agatha with teary eyes.

“It is precisely I who thank Bibi and Mang Judas. Because of you guys I can toughen up with all the daddy and mommy attitudes. Those of you who have strengthened me, stand beside me in my troubled times. You guys like to piss me off, but I'm actually amused. Although in the room I often cry without anyone knowing.” Agatha also cried, got up from her chair and embraced Bi Momon. Due to getting that treatment from her little miss, Bi Momon's cries broke even more. The two of them cried together as if giving heart reinforcement.

Mang Judas who witnessed it also involuntarily shed his tears. He also felt what Agatha and Bi Momon felt. Mang Judas wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, “cry if it can calm you down and lighten your load. Crying does not mean being weak or weak. There is a phase we cry because of haru, there is also a phase of crying because of heartache and disappointment, and there is also a phase we cry because we grieve.”

Hearing Mang Judas say, Agatha reflex released her embrace from Bi Momon and approached Mang Judas. He also embraces Mang Judas just as he embraces Bi Momon. “Thank you, Mang. Forgive my ever impolite nature with Mang Judas all this time. If I may ask, Mang Judas if later have a wife should stay in this house.” Agatha cried while embracing Mang Judas. Mang Judas did not hesitate to rub Agatha's head because it was so moved. Agatha whom she used to call a lady was unlike the usual Agatha, unlike the cold and stingy Agatha, who was angry.

Sometimes, someone who looks cheerful, who looks cold and indifferent, but actually they have sadness in them. But they tried to cover it up as much as possible so that no one would know it, so that no one else would feel its sadness. However, is it wrong if he spills his heart on the two people he has considered his own family? That's what Agatha thinks.

The three of them got carried away tonight. The dining room, which was full of laughter, is now suddenly full of and shackles. Mang Judas let go of Agatha's embrace so that she could calm her heart. “Already, Non. Don't cry anymore. Crying with protracted is also not good.”

“Iya, Mang. Sorry, Mang Judas's shirt got wet from my tears.” Agatha tilted her smile, Mang Judas nodded. Agatha then moved back to her seat, next to Bi Momon.

“The most important thing is that we must stick to God. Because only He can penetrate the heart and feelings of a person. Pray, pray, pray and keep praying and then try. Our prayers will be answered by Him, as we expect. Sometimes, God lets us get sick first, then reap happiness later in the day,” Bi Momon said. Agatha nodded because what Bi Momon said was indeed true. They immediately turned to the living room while waiting for her daddy and mommy.

The wall clock hanging on the wall of the living room of the Agatha residence shows at 20:45. They spend a lot of time in the kitchen with all sorts of chatter. There is chatter that makes the heart full and there is chatter that shakes the stomach.

“It's been nine hours less, Non. It's good Non rest immediately. Tomorrow we have to go back to school, Non.” Bi Momon ordered Agatha to return to her room.

“Later, Bi. I want to wait for daddy with mommy to come home. I can hang out on this sofa while watching TV,” replied Agatha.

“Non, then, Mang Judas is back at headquarters, yes. Good night and good rest,” farewell to Agatha

“Iya, Mang. Good night back.”

“Non, Aunty also paid back to wash dishes, yes.” Bi Momon also said goodbye.

“OK, Bi.”

“Karaoke next time, Non. Aunty has to wash first,” Bi Momon replied casually.

“Tuh, Friday again!” Agatha shook her head.

“It's not Friday night, Non.”

“Eh, why are you still here, Bi? He said he wanted to wash the dishes? There-there!” Agatha flicked her finger at the expelling sign.

“Oh yes. Forgetting. Sorry, yes, Non.” Bi Momon immediately directed his way towards the kitchen.

In the living room Agatha lived alone. He started to turn on the TV in front of him. Already several channels he rotate, but there is no spectacle that fits him. Time goes by quickly. Until ten o'clock in the night his parents had not yet revealed his nose. However, he did not want to give up and had to wait for his parents in the living room he occupied now. He was accompanied only by the twang of a wall clock that broke the silence of the night. He returned accompanied. “Will it continue like this?” he said as he looked at the main door and the wall clock. The target of his gaze was still the same, still the door that had not shown any signs. He's getting bored and agitated. Sitting wrong, lying down is wrong.

“Is this hard to get their affection back?” His face looked sad and his gaze was blank. The longer he gets bored and sleepy. He laid his body on the sofa and fell asleep.

Waiting for our loved ones even willingly we fall asleep in any place. But, does the person we are waiting for think of us willingly waiting for him to drag on and fall asleep? Agatha suffered the same fate. Just now he smiled because of the sweet actions of both parents, but disappeared instantly. Like a fire that lights up and goes out when watered by water.
