Love Sejagat, Love Friend

Don't play with fire with the Earth !

Late in the afternoon, I stepped out onto the front porch of my house. It feels cramped if you have to linger in the room, especially the activities carried out are just eating-sleep-wake-eating again. Actually I wanted to quickly get into school, but Mamak forbade me and advised me to keep resting until I fully recovered. Mamak was not so suspicious of my facial changes that tended to be more moody. Maybe I just thought I was sick. Yes it is one of them. But this pain in the chest is more intense than the pain in the body.

In this afternoon, I enjoyed a cup of warm sweet tea made by Mamak, to make my stomach become more comfortable and circulation in the nose also so not too clogged. My eyes focused on the front gate. There's someone I'm waiting for coming to my house. But his figure does not show his existence.

Evening already showed his identity showed the sun was getting drowned. Soon the Maghrib arrived but an Earth did not exist. The look on my face began to show disappointment.

He's not coming !

Ah, maybe he's having some extra activities at school or maybe he's walking this way ? I had to keep waiting for him and increase the strength of my patience.

" Dance... Why are you still outside, son? Comein. The sky is getting dark." Suddenly Mamak was standing at the door that had been deliberately wide open.

" Mom... In a moment. I'm getting some fresh air. Inside I'm so bored." My sulking.

" Who are you waiting for? The Earth guy?" Mamak asked, making me flinch a little.

" Ah, eng-not Mak. I'm emang again... Just fresh air. Let me recover quickly." I turned my eyeball to the right.

" If no one is waiting, it's better to come in. Dinner was Mamak ready. Come on..." Invite Mamak to make me fall silent. My legs were suddenly hard to move until Mamak took me a second time. Just a few steps away the voice of someone I knew called out to me from the direction of the gate. I turned towards the voice, it was true that the figure of Earth was standing while throwing his trademark smile at me.

The smile on my widened lips showed me a row of my teeth, I stared at the person who had been waiting for me since this afternoon. Now Earth is at one table with me and Mamak. We had dinner together after I let her in and Mamak seduced her to eat together. Although a little forced at last he was ready too. It's the first time Earth has entered my house and eaten with my little family. His attitude is quite shy when dealing with Mamak, but if with me as if there is no barrier even he is very ignorant of me.

Tonight my body is like a positive energy flow. The pain of body and heart that from last night was cursed, was a little lighter after the figure of Earth was near me.

" Kid Bumi, in the future you do not need to be shy and ashamed of Mother. Think of it like your own home. I'm very happy to have a guest here. Dance was also very happy when she saw you appear on the fence earlier." Said Mamak while laughing at the end of his sentence as if trying to tease me.

" Ih what the hell Mak. Don't like that. I'm the same Earth as the Sahabatan. So it's only natural that his best friend's coming to visit makes me a little entertained." My reply was to cut the mamak that was starting to slip.

I saw the look on Earth's face seemed to accept Mamak's words by nodding with a smile. While my face is like a boiled bean ready in the skin.

" Kid Bumi, I really hope that Nak Bumi can remain the same position as Dance until you grow up. Later if you have time, I inshaAllah bless you." Mamak did not hold back laughter.

" Mommy, at the dinner table should be quiet enough. And eat first, don't talk anywhere." Tandasku. Mamak only apologized but could not retract his words anymore. Even if it's just a joke, but want to make my face after this in front of the Earth.

After we finished dinner, Bumi took me to the terrace of the house. As usual she sat in her favorite chair, while I sat in a chair by the door.

" What is your condition ?" Ask starts.

" It's good." Answer's short. My mind was actually looking for the right sentence to tell him about the incident earlier, if Mamak's speech that did not need to be dizzy, and I also started how to tell the incident at school.

For a moment I just remembered, if the Earth had gone to school. How was the Earth in school, what happened ? Do they treat Earth as much as I do? My mind kept circling there.

" the tar..."

I was conscious of my daydreams.

" What do you think?" Ask Earth seriously looking at me.

" But-not the Earth. I didn't think of anything." I answered smiling.

" Sorry Earth. Wh-have you been at school getting weird treatment from your friends?" Ask me to focus directly on the problems I face. He frowned and rolled his eyes like he was remembering the incident at school.

" I feel good. My friends hanging out there's nothing weird."

" Are you serious?"

He nodded.

" Yes.I just came out today. The rest I was hanging out in a normal place. You know how I am." It was like without a burden.

" What's going on at school?" Earth asked back.

" Um... Actually..." I said a little doubt. Then for a moment I sighed, and I also established myself the real story about yesterday's events that made the Earth's eyes perfectly round. I saw the look on her face reddening like she was holding back an emotion.

" Mother-Earth... You need to calm down first. I didn't tell you to make your mind go dead end. I don't know who this is. We're here to be victims of the people who framed us. Actually was... There's something pretty stuck in my mind."

" What is that?" Cut the Earth full of pressure.

" I went to school as a quiet student. I realize I'm ugly and the son of an ordinary man. But why would anyone do evil to me. Is it my fault, what's the same guy?"

The earth looked as if his right hand was propping up his chin on the handle of the chair. His eyes looked blankly in the other direction but like he was thinking hard. We mute each other for a moment the atmosphere becomes quiet.

"Earth..." Call me to touch his arm. He just glanced his eyes at my face.

" I know who it is. This must be it." He took off his chin and got up from his seat.

" Where are you going?" Tanyaku.

" I want to meet that guy !" The answer is to step towards the fence.

" Who is Earth?" My many calls.

" I'll tell you later if I'm sure. You just calm down. Don't worry." Reply while wearing his helmet.

" Right rest. Get healthy fast." The impact then passed.

I stared at him pass disappear from the alley making me quite sigh.

Yeah, I hope what the Earth says is right the person he's referring to. Before this is widespread, it must be completed immediately. Do not let this fake news spread to school teachers. Especially to involve the mama. I don't want this to be my nightmare all my life.

I close my eyes and throw away all my worst thoughts. I need to calm down and remember the last Earth message. I have to rest right and get healthy again. Spirit and Good night Earth !
