Lara's Admirers

Episode 59's

"Tara!!!" Renata said after he finished cutting the poniku.

I began to open my eyelids so carefully. Hope the results aren't too bad, please....

"Lumayan." I said as I watched my new piece of bangs.

"Poni see through bang typical Korean style as natural impressed right?"

I nodded at his words. Not too bad either, I can still take it.

"He was thin so impressed like translucent, but there is still an aesthetic element." Evidently.

He seems to know a lot about all things fashion-related. But I don't know if there's any change in my face after wearing a new model bangs like this. It will look more beautiful or even look strange.

"I'm pretty not wearing a bangs like this?" I asked them.

"Wish more fresh anyway, keep kayaking younger that. Uh, what the hell, haha...." Stefani.

"Kan Eresha is still young, how are you..." Connect Renata.

I could only be annoyed listening to their words just now. It's clear my face is still a baby face like this, even in saying it's old. Actually among the three of them, I was much younger, born last.

"Udah don't sulk, later beautiful. Ntar Arka turned away, want you?" Tempted Renata by slightly making fun of me.

"What the hell, I'm gonna go to sleep." Reply annoyed.

If they weren't my closest people, I would have wanted to tear them both apart. That is if I have long claws like a werewolf. Huh, it seems like I've been watching too many twilight movies lately.

"So Stefani would you cut her bangs like this?" Ask Renata who is always ready with her scissors.

"May you brother." Stefani answered with pleasure.

When else can she trim her hair for free like this and in make over anyway. Although Renata only uses ordinary paper scissors, but the results are quite maximal in my opinion. His talent deserves a thumbs up. When else did he get tub service at a professional salon like this.

I lay myself on the bed waiting for the two women to finish their business. Sometimes I blow my bangs and play them.

"Sha, when do you start school?" Ask Stefani.

"Tomorrow." My reply was indifferent.

"A really fast guy? You just got home today." The girl protest.

"Yes, it's true. You also need time for the recovery stage." Timpal Renata agrees with that shitty girl.

"No! I have to go to school tomorrow!" I'm firm once again.

Renata could only shake her head at my stubborn demeanor. But I'm doing this for a reason. I have to be really serious in the face of my last school year.

"Jaudah deh stef, you take care of him tomorrow. Chain if you need to." Renata.

"Ready, brother!" Reply to the girl with enthusiasm.

"Eh, all in chains! What animal am I." My protest while advancing my lips a few cents forward.

I think the atmosphere at home will be more comfortable and pleasant, it turns out everything is completely wrong. Everyone here is so annoying and always wants to make a fuss with me. I seem to have to be patient more.

I choose to go to bed first and leave those who are busy with their business. I accidentally slept on the bed with an irregular position. Let them know the feeling of having tried to find trouble with me.

"Kringg!!!!"

The loud bell created from the pounding of metal clashed against each other, deafening my ears among the dawn. I opened my eyes slowly as I continued to gather my whole life.

I looked around me and could not find the two girls in this room. Did they sleep in the living room because of what I did yesterday. But yes, they started first. So that means it's not my fault.

I got out of my bed and immediately tidied up the little mess I made last night. Then I immediately headed towards the window, pulled the cloth cover of the gap is now wide open. From the eastern horizon is clearly visible the dawn that began to break. The light is ready to greet the whole universe today. Somehow when I saw the space object that became the center of the solar system, I even remembered the story of the moon and the sun. Until now I was still confused, where and how everything could happen like a dream.

I didn't even bother about that. I immediately picked up the towel and prepared. Not to forget I also turned off my room light that was on, we must be wise in the use of energy for the sake of our shared future.

***

As usual, I prepared in front of the full-body glass I had brought from the old town where I lived. After tidying up my hair, I immediately tied it with a hair tie. Every student who has long hair should always be tied like this hair. That is what is called exemplary student. But with the exception of Stefani who can be said haircut including short. He is not obligated to tie his hair, but sometimes he also does it if it is hot. The last step is perfume. This ritual is not to be missed for me.

Then I immediately grabbed my backpack, and rushed downstairs.

"Stat! Taps! Taps!"

The sound of my footsteps rang out so clearly at that moment, echoing between the solid concrete walls. I'm not sure if they're awake, it's still quiet like this. It is now almost seven o'clock. Not usually the house becomes quiet like this. At least there must always be a small commotion coming from the kitchen. But not to this day, this place really seems to have died.

"Maybe weary yesterday went home." My mind is in my heart.

Maybe their bodies need more rest than usual. Yesterday's trip was pretty far. It seemed that was why they had not woken up at all even though it was this early.

I immediately headed to the living room to wake Stefani up. He might be late if I don't wake him up. But when I got to the living room, I found no one there except the sofa and other furniture.

"Well, what's the matter?" My mind is in my heart.

It is impossible if they slept in Renata's room last night, the place was already in use by mom and dad. Especially if it's in grandma's or aunt's room, it's a lot more absurd.

"Don't Stefani go to school again? Don't want to wake me up." My grouse at that moment.

I clucked violently while stomping my feet to the floor. That girl must have left first regardless of me at all. Yesterday he did not agree that today I will go to school. I grumbled while walking towards the kitchen. Look, I won't forgive him. I'll kill that one girl, I won't give her any mercy.

"Eresha's happy birthday!!!" Cheer them up.

"Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you... happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!" They walked towards me while still singing.

They all sang the song in a compact manner with no false tone at all. I didn't expect my family to inherit singing talent like this.

"Happy birthday my little sister!" Said Renata while offering the tart.

"Thank you all." I said in a slightly trembling voice.

I almost cried at the time, but I could still hold it. I hate it when I have to look good in front of them.

"Blow the candle..." Mama says.

"Make a wish first." Connect Renata.

I closed my eyes expectantly. There are so many things I have done at my age. May God hear my prayer. I hope the changes I hope will come in time. Then I immediately blew out the arrangement of the small candles. The blazing red flames had now become clumps of smoke that floated freely in the air.

"Happy birthday dear..." Mama said while hugging me, followed by papa.

I haven't felt this kind of warmth in a long time. The atmosphere that had happened almost never to me lately. I hope that in the years to come I can still celebrate this precious moment with all of them.

"Thank you, papa..." I said with a loud voice.

Even though I tried not to cry, now my tears have broken. I wiped my tears before they saw it. Although they must know I'm crying, because my eyes are red and teary. I rarely cry like this in front of them.

"Take this bangs as a gift from me." Said Renata while gently rubbing the top of my head.

Suddenly I remembered one thing that made me panic. It's seven o'clock past for sure. Last time I saw the clock, it was almost seven o'clock. That means I'm late for class, now it must be seven o'clock. I could be finished if it was too late.

"Eh, I'm going to school first. It's late, I have to go. Yea...." My word.

Renata pulled out my hand as I was about to leave. Meanwhile, Stefani laughed out loud. I looked at them with eyes of confusion and pity. Pity whether Stefani is having a demon waiting for the banyan tree again or not. Lately it's been really weird. Maybe I should take him to the nearest ustad to get to rukyah. I'm worried that his sanity will be compromised. Just imagine if I had to room with a rather crazy person.

I'm getting confused by these people. Now not only Stefani laughs, even my grandmother and both parents laugh. They played with my mind and turned my brain. Their behavior just forced me to think hard to find the reason.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked confused.

Stefani tried to regulate her uncontrollable breathing from laughing out loud. After that, he finally started explaining everything to me.

"So gini, look at my watch now." Said Stefani while propping her watch.

"Cock at six?" My toot.

"Well, look at that clock." Further.

Both my eyeballs follow where Stefani's index finger is. I'm sure I've looked at the wall clock carefully and made sure I wasn't looking wrong. How can all the hours here still show six o'clock, while in my own room it even goes faster. But I remember last night when I reset the alarm, everything was in line with the time it was on my phone.

"Or not, my phone is wrong?" My mind is checking my phone.

I was getting confused when the clock on my phone showed the same number as all of them. Wait a minute, like I know what's going on. I'm sure they're playing me.

"Do you know me?" I asked with cynical eyes.

"Surprise!" Reply Stefani.

I grumbled when I knew the truth was going on. They are all really this art to prank me on my birthday. It seemed like they had planned this carefully long ago the day before. But how could I not know about it. They were so good at covering everything from me.

"This is all of Renata's ideas." Stefani.

"At least our surprise wasn't too much, was it?" Reply Renata.

"It's up to you guys." My answer is indifferent.

I don't know how to behave. I'm really upset at the moment but on the one hand I feel happy too. They were really good at playing with my unstable feelings.

"Don't frown, peace...." Said the woman while embracing my shoulder.

"Mending us breakfast now." Further.

Again this woman who is older than me managed to melt my heart. The anger and resentment that had previously appeared, just disappeared.

We all went to the dinner table for breakfast together. Today grandma has cooked a special menu with jumbo portions for everything. The honey chili fried shrimp is our family's favorite food. The cooking menu is always there and never absent at family events like this. It was something I always missed when Lebaran arrived. But now I don't have to wait for that moment to enjoy the legendary cuisine of my grandmother.

***

Today Stefani and I were transferred to school by Kak Renata and Kak Reksa. The man has been taking Renata to campus lately. Brother Reksa also wishes me a happy birthday. I don't know exactly where she knows where my birthday is. Maybe from his lover who will soon be his life companion.

"Sha, please send this invitation to your friends." Said Renata while giving me some invitations that have been printed.

"Not much anyway, just your decoctions doang." Further.

I noticed the names on the front of the wedding invitation. All are just the people closest to me.

"Where do you know my friends' names from?" Ask wonder.

"Tell me the same question next to you." Answer it lightly.

"From you stef?"

"Yes, hehe... Is it not wrong this time?"

"Yes not really. Okay, I'll give them." My reply was to keep that thing in my bag.
