Tera's on the plane, to get back...
His mind was now like a knot that was hard to put together.
He is no longer a high school boy who used to be always cheerful when he saw the people he likes.
Right now, that feeling of joy actually leads him to pain and regret that still has not found an answer.
Wasn't...
It was not his meeting with Gemilang Andara that he regretted.
But because his heart was too quick to drop his choice on the young man as his first love.
He became a fool who even had trouble receiving love from others just because his heart already loved one person in his youth.
After arriving later, he was even afraid that someone who knew him would know about his return to the city of JK.
..."Why being an adult is this complicated..."...
..."If I could, I would definitely choose to remain a child living in a small town, if I knew things would be like this..."...
Tera muttered inside the plane, before finally falling asleep...
...*...
For nearly eight hours of transitless travel, Lanterns arrived at the international airport of the Capital.
Completely alone without anyone picking him up.
There is a strange feeling in him because he saw other students who were welcomed warmly by their respective families.
He lamented his fate as he bowed and walked out of the airport.
Up outside, he felt a different air from the Ginseng Country.
He took a deep breath, then looked for a taxi that would take him home.
He stared at his cell phone screen.
Looking at the photo of the house that her mother sent by Sela a few days ago.
The small wooden house was not far from Sela's house.
With a short fence surrounding the courtyard.
Tera seems to be liking the atmosphere of her new home.
The house will soon truly be his.
Tera became impatient to get there quickly.
He immediately approached a taxi not far from him.
Then he asked the taxi driver to drive him to the house he had longed for for two years.
The taxi drove at a moderate speed, the flag opened the window, and felt a twilight wind blow on his face.
..."I'm back, but why am I so afraid to see you..."...
He thought to himself, thinking about whether he should immediately meet Gilang or delay until he was completely ready.
...*...
Almost eight o'clock in the evening, he arrived in front of his mother's house.
It was lonely, maybe her mother was inside.
After paying for a taxi, he got down and looked around.
Everything looks different, many houses have been renovated and the atmosphere there looks beautiful and cool.
The night wind again blew making it cold, although it was not late, but the weather had become colder.
Maybe because their residence is a little far from the city crowd.
...*...
Tera set her foot on the porch, and once again stared at the screen of her phone, to make sure that this was really her home.
He did not intentionally tell anyone about his return.
......Tok.........
He knocked on the door slowly.
Without waiting for long, her mother immediately opened the door for her.
His mother, who was getting older, was staring at the door.
Tera could not help herself and immediately rushed to hug her mother tightly while crying sobbing.
..."Is this really a mother's child...?"...
Tera nodded.
His mother took off a hug to make sure the girl was really Lantern, her son.
..."Mother's son is getting taller, but why are you getting thinner, son?"...
Tera shook her head, then hugged her mother again.
..."I don't want to be away from mom anymore..."...
..."Yes son, now you can stay here and stay with mom..."...
Holding back that longing was really exhausting work, Tera's inner heart in her mother's arms.
..."Yeah, come on in first, it's cold..." Take her mother and close the door after Tera takes her suitcase....
..."Mom, I like it here..."...
..."Yes son, mother also likes, the atmosphere is calm..."...
..."Yes ma'am, oh yes I'm hungry ma'am, heheheh..."...
..."You haven't eaten yet?"...
..."It's mom, but miss mom's cooking..."...
..."You are, yes already, take a bath there, this is your room, every day mom clean, just wait for you to come home, once home no ngabarin mother..."...
Tera went into her room, she was happy, because she finally had her own room.
Although not as big as his room at home Gilang, but his small room now makes him feel comfortable.
It still feels empty, because there is only a small mattress and two-door closet that seems new.
There was no study table, probably because her mother thought she no longer needed it.
But now Tera still needs a desk to work.
..."I'll buy it later..." He muttered alone while looking for clothes to change....
He entered the bathroom outside the room, left of the kitchen, where his mother cooked.
..."Tera, the bathroom is now outside the room, so you have to get used to it..."...
..."Ready ma'am, I'm always used to anything, hehehe..."...
..."A quick shower, my mom's almost done cooking..."...
..."Yes ma'am..."...
Ten minutes later, Tera exited the bathroom and still left the towel in her head.
Despite the cold night weather, he still took a bath so that his body felt fresher.
Half-nine nights, he ate with his mother sitting in front of him watching television.
..."Mom, why is the TV kept in the kitchen anyway mom?"...
..."Let's make some more cookies to sell, I'm not lonely..."...
..."You can just, you can call me ma'am, if you really need a friend to chat."...
..."The cost of calling out the country is expensive Tera..."...
..."Hahaha mom was right too..."...
..."Continue your meal, then quickly enter the room and rest, Oh yes, when did you start going to work?"...
..."Day after tomorrow..."...
..."Very fast Tera..."...
..."I don't know ma'am, because it's just a worker, so you have to obey what the boss says,heheheh..."...
..."Yes, have a quick meal, have a good sleep, you must be tired because of the long journey..."...
..."Yes ma'am, just a second..."...
..."Oh yeah, there's how, you like it there or here..."...
..."It's delicious ma'am, but it'll taste better with mom..heheheh..."...
..."Not if you're alone, you're freer, because no one's nagging..."...
..."But don't hear mom nagging, ma'am, heheheh..."...
..."You're this indiscriminate, so I love it when your mom nagged every day..."...
..."Don't ma'am, I'll take care of my ears..."...
..."Already, don't talk, quickly finish your food..."...
..."Good mother..."...
...*...
After eating, Tera prepared to go into his room, leaving his mother who was still sitting enjoying a television show.
..."Ma'am, don't watch it for long, but it has to be sold..."...
..."Yes Ra, just a second..."...
After taking the blanket, Tera went into her mother's room.
Still not ten o'clock in the night, Tera took her cell phone, looking back on her memories during her time abroad.
His longing in spring and autumn bothered him.
He wanted to go back, to enjoy the cherry blossoms there, but didn't want to stay any longer.
Not wanting to feel sad for longer, she looked at the contact number on her phone.
Gilang's mobile number is still stored, whether the young man still uses it or has changed his number, but Tera can not even delete it.
He realized that his cellphone was very minimal contact number belonging to others, even can be calculated using only ten fingers.
He laughed himself aware of his strangeness.
..."I've been twenty-four years, but I'm still like a very childish Junior High."...
He muttered to himself.
Bored and tired, he finally fell asleep in his mother's mattress that was slightly larger than his bed.
The two of them could still sleep together, due to Tera's increasingly thin body.
...*...
A few minutes later, her mother came into the room and saw Tera who was still half asleep while hugging her phone.
..."Dear Tera, why don't you sleep in your room, son?"...
..."Thera moved her body so that her mother could sleep next to her....
..."Tera,ayo moved into your room, you're not a child anymore..."...
..."Buu..but I want to sleep with mom tonight..."...
..."Yes, sleep, but don't snore..."...
..."Ehhe no ma'am..."...
Tera finally fell into a deep sleep while hugging her mother who stroked her head gently.
..."Tera, you really have grown up son, how if you were married later, you would be lonely if you left your mother again..."...
Whisper his mother sad while continuing to rub the head of his daughter who is now an adult...
