My Choice of Match

Special eps: Thorn 17

"Mely. "call him.

His eyes described the same shock as mine, I was speechless and could only silently look at him.

"Mother, your father has already arrived.And you boncel here come in I've made your favorite food" said Brother Afdal who came to welcome.

"Mely, are you here?" her question was still in a shocked tone.

"Why did you come here?" askaku.

"Who's Cha?" ask a woman behind Ocha who I believe is her mother.

We looked at each other, still in a state of shock especially me who did not think that Ocha was Afdal's brother.

What a strange fate, I have even almost forgotten my friends in Jakarta, except Nadin because he is my eternal friend.Now I can meet Ocha here like a dream.

"So now you live here Mel?" asked Ocha while we were having dinner together.

I nodded in my answer.

"So Mely is Ocha's co-worker in Jakarta, and after moving to Bogor it turns out the same friend Afdal but without knowing that Afdal and Ocha are sodara, funny also yes your friendship" said Mrs Ocha clarify.

"Yes aunty, I don't know if it turns out Ocha is Kak Afdal because he never told me anything"

"So why isn't the story important, is it?" ask Brother Afdal.

"Yes important ka, if I had known that Ocha sister Brother maybe I could have met Ocha sooner" I argued that I was not at all influenced by him.

"Eh Mel, what do you do now? where's the?" ask Ocha.

"In the dress shop, not far from here"

"Hmmmm.. continue why did you suddenly disappear anyway Mel? there is no news of any tau-au I heard the news of you returning to Bandung he said"

"E-hmm, yes Cha. I was sick, so I had to stop working and go back to Bandung" my real answer does not want to bring up the problem because the edges must be the story of my love that ran aground inevitably revealed.

"Oh, are you sick what Mel?" ask Ocha's mother.

"Magh"

"Geez you must not regularly eat it, keep the ketapean really yes.. like sputum? lessin used to eat the same food as usual"

"Yes tan, thank you. Now it's been meningan ko rarely relapse again"

At a glance I saw Brother Afdal looking at me with an unusual look no matter what the meaning of the view I did not know.

After eating Ocha invited me to chat in his room, and how shocked I was when I saw his room which was like a photo museum.

"What a weird Mel?" ask her while laughing.

"To all the photos on display in your room anyway Cha?"

"Abang me it's a lazy person, really males to clean up so all the photos and small items that so in his simple in my room, my room, let me clean myself at the most once every two weeks"

"Where do I want to know you guys sodara, first you don't say that you guys are the second sodara every time I play here I never see family photos"

"Sister Afdal is the one who closes if it's a family problem, he doesn't like stories about family"

"So your family really like how the hell is cha? ko you guys live in Jakarta while Kak Afdal lives alone here?" manya curious.

"Our father died when we were kids, I don't even know how my father's face was so because I was a kid about two years ago, my mother continued to marry again with her husband who is now when I was three years old, we moved to Jakarta because of the work of my stepfather but Kak Afdal did not want to come"

"Why?"

"He was born here Mel, in this house there are many memories of the same father and when Brother Afdal knew the mother wanted to marry again he was furious, he was angry, she thought she had forgotten about the father finally Afdal brother lived here with grandma.When Afdal graduated from High School Grandma died and it was the hardest blow of her life"

"Lu own Mel, at that time would you ever tell the story of merit ma Jordhan ko now you even work here anyway?" finally came out that question.

"We are not a match for Cha, since I was sick and lived in Bandung I don't know anymore how he is" replied I certainly do not want to massalu me back sticking to the surface, what's the point? it's all over.

Ocha no longer asked, it seemed like my answer although not satisfying his curiosity but he knew I was not interested in telling a story.

"Hi yu yu, come out and talk outside while chattering" asked Ms. Ocha to come to the room.

We nodded and followed to the living room, there was already his stepfather who was busy with his cellphone.We told him a lot more reminiscent of how my friendship and Ocha time in Jakarta.

"If aunty knows that Ocha plays the same you can't go home aunty angrilyin him, his aunt is afraid he's wrong gaul.Ocha also nih never made Mely play at home"

"Males ah ma'am, if you know Mely this is a good person, there is Mely who is not allowed to go home" replied Ocha Ketus.

"Lho ko is not allowed to go home" I asked not to understand

"Yes Mel, if you already feel fit with one person will definitely continue to chat without stopping, stop, so yes if I make you go home ntar you can't go home anymore"

I just laughed at Ocha's explanation, but thank God in this way I know Ocha's mother likes me so much that I'm not awkward, we did talk a lot even late into the night, he said, it was just us two me and Ocha's mom.

"Tante is very happy that you often play with Afdal, in front of his aunt he rarely laughs even his attitude is often cuek.Thank you for making him laugh all day" said Ocha's mother when we were talking about Afdal.

"Apaan sih aunty, do not say thank you that.Lagian precisely Kak Afdal who often asked me to joke him who is always there for his friends, always entertaining"

It turns out that it is true, behind people who like to laugh, the funny, the sweet, the funny, which always makes the atmosphere so rame precisely he is the most lonely person.Takangka behind all jokes Kak Afdal he is covering his own grief.

"Mel, it's the night you're here!" haggar ocha's mother.

"No aunt, I'm home aja.Toh my house is not far"

"Sorry yes aunt ajakin chat ampe really night, you have also participated masakin for aunty and family"

"Nothing tan, I also like ko thanks to help kak Afdal was able to meet Ocha and chat with about it as well"

"Yes, you've been waiting for me, let auntie call Afdal to bring you home."

Not long after Afdal came with his mother.

"Want to go home now, Mel?" brother Afdal asked, I just nodded in response.

"When it's already malem, you can sleep with Ocha" said Ocha's mother still trying to persuade.

"Don't have my aunt come home, maybe next time"

"Yes, be careful on the road"

"Yes aunty"

After saying goodbye I went home in the bonceng kak Afdal, for some reason it feels like another time.As if meeting a new person I feel awkward sitting behind Afdal's brother, after knowing his family, his past, and his family, I don't think my problems are worth it.

"Mel you sleep" asked Brother Afdal

"No, why?"

"To diem?"

"What do I need to do? hopped that?"

"Well, Mel, can't you?" abugn.

"Huuuu" I cried out, he just laughed and heard me laughing, Brother Afdal why are you so good at theatrics? in front of me you are capable of troublemaking and laughing but behind me you are always lonely.
