Langinese. Me, You, and a Wound

That guy

     Key immediately entered after passing through the fence without a guard. The house is simple and only level one. There are flowers in the yard accompanied by small grasses. His front door opened and he immediately ran over, hugging the woman in a brown hijab as soon as he saw her standing on her back. The next moment was followed by the pounding of the book from the side. Keysa frowned but immediately landed a kiss on the bookkeeper's cheek. That's Elsa, her sister.

"Hey, you're a surprise to mama. Why didn't you tell me you were going home now? We can get you, Key. You told Melda, right?"

Mama pulled him to sit on the sofa, Elsa had passed somewhere, maybe to the kitchen or also to sleep in the room.

Keysa began to tell at length about his vacation in Surabaya. It was quite fun, but upon arrival at the airport he did not get caught at Melda's house, he said he was too kangen with Mama Papa. Of course Jo's story doesn't include Keysa, he's been too embarrassed by it all. Keysa even said his suitcase was accidentally left at Melda's house.

"Let her bring me, Ma, all come by here. Who's suru busy mulu mulu at his house."

His lips were half-cone despite secretly feeling slurred as well when recalling the real reason. Melda house besides being close to the airport, also close to Jo's house, of course Jo is on the list of reasons why Keysa had wanted to stay at his cousin's house. But ... Keysa squeezed his hand, then pretended to look inside.

"Where's dad?"

"While in his room, papa didn't know Key wanted to come now, Key didn't say anything."

Mama pinched Keysa's cheek and led the girl through the living room, quite large in size. There is a sofa in the middle of the room, then a closet and a large flower pot that is a few meters away.

On the wall there is a picture of a garuda, flanked by a painting of Our Lady holding the Messiah Jesus Christ, then a painting of the Kaaba surrounded by many Muslims. It was Mama Papa's identity, Keysa himself inherited the trust of one of them, and the Cross-shaped necklace that coiled around her neck was the answer.

"That's why it's like hanging, Pa?"

Little Keysa put his hand on the cross, just as the necklace was first wrapped around his neck. The mustachioed man sat half-couched and positioned the body to equal Key's height.

"He, Lord Jesus, died on the Cross to atone for the sins of men."

"Why is that?"

"Because God is loving, dear. Man is quite a sin, especially the inherited sin of his ancestor, Adam. God sent his son to atone for their sins through His death, so man became free from sin."

"There is no heaven? Then don't have to do good?"

Keysa doesn't understand. Mama once said that to atone for sins is to repent and do good. But Papa also taught him many things, including when Keysa was baptized and often attended church, and he believed Papa, the man closest to him.

"That's the paradise, honey. With that death and penance, mankind need not worry about going to hell. That is how God does good for man. The Lord Jesus was willing to die just to atone for the sins of man, so how could we waste his goodness by doing evil in the world?"

"So he took the cup, gave thanks and gave it to them, and said; Drink you all from this cup, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant shed for many for the remission of sins."

The voice of the Bible, which was only twelve years later Keysa knew, was one of the reasons why Papa believed the death of the Lord Jesus to be penance. This in itself is explained precisely because a few hours after the feast, the Messiah actually went to exchange his blood as a form of love.

   The first door was unable to respond, the second was also, Keysa was about to turn around, Mama herself was half tilted, but finally stopped when she heard a slow step and the sound of the door squealing opened.

"Other father is sleeping. Uda brother back entaran aja."

El's head emerged from behind the door, quickly making Keysa's folded face again visible. When did his sister enter the room? He almost wanted to close the door so El's head was clamped so badly. Mama herself until she glanced, and with a quick glance was enough to make her sister out. He hides his hands behind his back.

"I'm sorry, Ma, El was going to wake up Papa and tell him that Kak Key uda came home. But Papa sleeps really good, El ndak have to wake up. If you want to go back to this book, El fad look around, but so the fun of reading. El can borrow ndak?"

El took out the hand he had hidden from behind his back. Apparently El already holds a pretty thick novel. Mama and Key catch there's the title ll Nome Della Rosa there. Mama just bobbing heads while Key clucked annoyed, introvert work read doang book anyway. His ejek before even returning to his room with half a run, of course if you do not want to be able to find a book from El. Bad habits that often make Keysa protest to his, "Yang be a big brother, elo am I the deck? " then soon followed by lips convulsions holding back laughter from El.

Keysa immediately took a shower, changed clothes, and fell asleep after entering the room. He heard the sound of El knocking on the door and half-forced to open. Keysa sings quite merrily pretending not to hear.

El must be upset and grumbling indistinctly outside, but that's a lesson for wayward sister, he thought, although sometimes felt strange also because it was precisely that that made Keysa kangen during in Surabaya. Though for lonely reasons, obviously he never felt, there was always Jo who sent him a message. Invite him to tell a long story and .. oh Father why should Jo? The guy was really like a ghost, appearing suddenly in his mind. Though with the incident was enough there was no dictionary Jo in his heart.

Keysa buried his face in the pillow, but his own action was held back by the Hp ringing. There was the name Sweet Dream there, and her eyes glared while half grimacing. That's Jo's contact, Keysa keeps it by that name.

"Can't!" Keysa said to himself while turning the phone upside down until the screen position was fixed on the mattress and not visible again. He closed two ears followed by eyes that squeaked indistinctly, disturbing the tone of the call. He used his favorite Always Be Happy song when he found out Jo also liked the song. And his feelings further clarify his stupidity so far. Oh God ... He did not know if it had explained that he was obsessed.

Not long enough, the ring had stopped, but seconds later it sounded again and still showed the name Sweet Dream.  Keysa finally pressed the word "power off" and counted the lambs jumping on the fence to get to bed. In the end he did the therapy as well, even though for insomnia he did not have it at all. All just because of the shadow of Jo who wickedly danced, even without feeling accompanied by Maxe's face. Oh Father, this is really disturbing!

Keysa got up and took a picture book tucked in a bookcase and opened it through a small lock in a drawer. He must express his feelings through the image there, at least in order to move and dance in the form of faint lines that only Keysa is able to understand, or if later not like, let the picture jump at will through the window of the room. What's for sure is that everything about Jo can't be stuck in the wall of his memory. Key's hand was upset until it slightly slammed the padlock when it did not want to open, and yap succeeded. But .. oh no!

He found a picture of Jo at the beginning to open it, then the name Jo accompanied by his own name written letter and a picture of love in pink. Keysa grimaced, hurriedly closed the picture again and locked it tightly. He may have been crazy all this time, even though for their meeting it could be said to be a coincidence.

Who has ever done😄
