Married With My First Love (Travel Story of Lantern Love And Scintillating)
38.Meet with Haris
Later this year, the house of Gilang the arrival of guests, exactly the second brother from Gilang.
After several years of avoiding his family, Haris ventured to return home.
He hasn't come home at all in nearly five years.
Since Gilang's first year in high school, Haris has left his parents' house.
Just like his eldest brother, who also went out of the country to avoid all forms of orders from his father.
"Truly the child doesn't know it's lucky, don't ever come home until you have a better job than Dad's." Haris still clearly remembers his father's words when he graduated High School and had no intention of helping his father's company.
After he almost finished his studies, and became an assistant lecturer at his campus, he ventured to go home because a little more he found his own success.
...*...
On a clear Sunday morning ahead of the new year, the blue-and-white taxi stopped in front of the Gilang family home.
Lanterns that were watering plants in the yard of the house, staring out the fence.
When the fence was opened, he was fixated on staring at the figure of Haris whose face was almost exactly the same as Gilang's face.
But Haris' face looked more firm and mature.
Haris looked back at the lantern.
..."Hello, good morning."...
..."Uh yeah good morning too."...
..."You must be my mother's new assistant's son, right?"...
..."It's not new, we've been here a long time."...
..."Oh yeah, heheheh, I went in first."...
..."Yes mas."...
Haris went inside the house, happily greeted by his mother, they hugged him in front of the door.
Another with his father, who just sat quietly on the sofa while continuing to stare at his laptop.
..."You remember your way home."...
..."Yes Dad, I'm sorry."...
..."How, are you successful now?"...
..."Still almost Dad, hopefully soon."...
..."Not intending to continue Dad's work?"...
..."Not yet Well, I'm sorry, there's Andrian who can help you."...
..."You're all the same, it's like I'd like you to have another child."...
..."But if the other father's child is no longer willing to help Dad too, how?"...
..."You're this."...
The father and son relationship seems to be melting.
Since the five years of the departure of his two children, Mr. Hermawan has been little able to accept the decision of his children.
While waiting and hoping the three of them will realize that not forever his father can take care of the company they have been struggling to build.
...*...
Gilang came down from above to greet his second brother, who had been busy calling since last night, saying that he would sleep in Gilang's room.
..."Woy bro, how are you, it's getting higher now, where's getting handsome again."...
..."Could you bang."...
..."Bring this dong to your room, your branch just want to ride a week anyway, so the task of college left off a week has been stacked."...
..."Hemp." Gilang carried a Haris backpack containing several clothes....
...*...
..."Gilang, then it went straight down yeah, we had breakfast with your brother." His mother exclaimed from under the stairs....
..."Yes mother."...
Gilang and Haris went downstairs again, and they invited their father to eat together.
Since his father had no reason to refuse, he ended up following his two sons.
Dining table is already available snacks for breakfast.
Tera who had finished watering the plants was also in the kitchen to help his mother.
Tera brings different drinks to the dining table, they are really a complicated family, Tera said when asked by her mother to prepare a drink every morning.
Plus the presence of Haris which also makes it more troublesome.
Haris and Gilang changeover looked towards Lantern who was almost done with her work.
..."You don't eat." Ask Haris....
..."No, I'm not the same mom."...
..."Oh that's it, yeah, we ate first."...
..."Yeah, please."...
The four of them sat in their seats each enjoying breakfast this morning.
Lanterns are busy helping her mother clean up their former cooking.
While waiting for the Gilang family to finish eating.
Haris and her father and mother were done and left the dining table.
Gilang lives there alone, to watch the lanterns work.
There was pity in his heart, seeing that the girl he liked had to be an assistant in his home.
She finally felt what Tera felt, an exaggerated sense of inferiority due to just the child of a housekeeper.
Tera.
He could not even take his eyes off Tera who was already right in front of him.
Tera prepared to take out the dirty dishes from before Gilang, stopping her movement because Gilang kept looking at her.
..."You're not tired?"...
..."No, why?"...
..."You're not hungry?"...
..."Not yet, but I'm done with breakfast."...
..."Yeah, I've been sitting here, eating first."...
..."But it's Gilang..."...
Gilang feeds the bread he has bitten off the lantern.
Making Lanterns instantly speechless and then hit Gilang's shoulder.
..."Ahh sick tau"...
Tera tried to chew a piece of bread that was already in his mouth.
..."Mas Gilang nyebelin, this is the rest of the Gilang mas right, do not-don't mas Gilang yet brush his teeth."...
..."Haha not yet, why, the taste of the bread changed huh."...
..."You slob."...
..."Hahah, this is a drink."...
..."No, that's also the rest of the Gilang mas."...
..."Quickly drink, later all new tau tau tasa."...
Tera finally re-drank the white milk that had been almost half left over because it was drunk by Gilang.
Sepagi, Tera already felt very happy because of receiving treatment Gilang.
Gilang even still drank the remaining milk in the glass even though it had been drunk by the lantern.
They forget that someone is watching them.
Mother Lantern who was washing dishes made head bobbles.
Haris who was standing right behind them realized there was something there.
..."Eid..."...
..."Uh bang, what's up?"...
..."Want to take a drink, but see there's drama here, so watch it first."...
..."What is bang."...
The lantern, embarrassed to realize Haris had noticed them since then, finally stood up and took the dirty plate at the table.
..."Where are you going, just sit there, here I go."...
..."This is going to continue working first."...
..."Though the drama is exciting, why not continue."...
..."Bang, it's gone there."...
..."Haha,oke okay."...
Haris left them, Gilang who was upset because he felt disturbed finally caught up with Haris.
..."I'm first."...
..."Yes, in Gilang."...
The lantern continued his work, giving his mother dirty dishes, then he wiped the dinner table, and filled a bottle of water in the refrigerator.
When he finished, he took some food and entered his room first.
In the room, he enjoyed his breakfast.
Remembering what happened a few minutes ago.
He imagined what if it was seen by Gilang's father or mother.
It was possible that he had been asked to stay away from Gilang right now, even though the reality would not be like that.
Tera stopped eating her breakfast, she felt full as all the flavors gathered together into one in her heart.
To be honest, he did not want to avoid the sweet treatment of Gilang against him, because he liked it, and the rest he wanted to also make good memories before he decided to leave the house Gilang.
...***...
In the afternoon, he went to the cafe "Happy Fun".
That day, his last day of work.
Although Sunday, Febri still open the Cafe, because it is not uncommon for his High School friends to stop there during holidays like this.
..."Dear Tera, do you really want to quit your job today?"...
..."Yes brother, next year I have to take care of my departure for college, so maybe a little busy, and can't work."...
Febri lamented the lanterns that had to leave him.
However, for several months working with him, Lanterns always worked well, and often helped his friend to clear the table in front of him when he was lonely, even though it was not part of his job.
..."Yes, you work until eight o'clock, the rest I treat you to eat as much here."...
..."Well don't do it, brother, I'm not good."...
..."No papa dong, all as a farewell event deh story, you do not refuse ya."...
..."Emh Good brother."...
They work as usual, one by one there are people who stop there to just sit down for coffee and enjoy snacks or buy drinks to take out.
Today Tera does not do much washing dishes because guests who come do not order heavy meals.
So he chose to sit in front with Fay and Jia who until now still feel at home working with Febri.
They sat there chatting, although Tera was more of a listener.
The time has shown at seven o'clock at night, the door of the cafe is open, two men who are the same look in and sit in a chair right in front of the cashier.
Tera looked at the two of them in shock.
