My name is Maira

- Farewell - Farewell

***

The blue sky seemed to stretch without an end point.

My eyes that slowly opened, could immediately see the stretch of sky that made the earth as if wrapped by the vastness of the blue roof.

The leaves of the tree that I could see from behind the window, also looked like they were dancing with the wind.

I'm right, time goes on and on without having the wish to just slow down, or stop for a moment.

The wedding of kak alan was like just after yesterday, but this has already been two months.

A week ago I just finished celebrating my graduation ceremony.

The graduation ceremony, which was also a sign as the closing of an endless series of parties for almost two months.

All my friends also celebrated graduation.

As soon as my graduation party was over, it was followed by the departure of nia, who began to settle in Jakarta, and kiki who returned to Kalimantan three days ago.

My graduation celebration, as a closing party, as well as a farewell event.

The night after my graduation ceremony in the morning, I invited all my closest friends to dinner together.

Dinner as gratitude, because I can finally start to enter the adult world that I myself am still new.

Also the night where ayu, dita and bowo say goodbye to return to his hometown.

The night we realized, when we could meet to share the laughter back.

I can still meet dita in semarang, or meet bowo in klaten, but for ayu, maybe my party night is the last night I can embrace ayu shoulder.

Kiki and Nia have also flown to their destination city, stay rani, and mia in Jogja who still accompany me.

Rani and kak alan chose to stay with my family, so rani has also started to get busy with her activities as sister alan's wife.

Every time I wake up, I've seen my mom and Rani busy in the kitchen.

Dimas couldn't attend my graduation because there was an important meeting he couldn't leave.

Dimas then asked my father and mother for permission to take me away for three days.

Today is my second day with dimas.

We don't go far, we just relax in the villa.

Dimas is also still working, because he has a work deadline that must be completed next week.

"Wake up" asked dimas, who had just entered the room, and saw me still in bed, looking out the window.

"Not yet", I answered, then pulled my blanket back.

Dimas then approached, and hugged me who was still wrapped in a blanket.

"You sleep until what time, it's eight o'clock" dimas told me.

"Nine hours is still an hour away" I said to dimas.

"Wake up, let's have breakfast, later if you're my wife, six o'clock in the morning should have woken up already" said dimas.

"And still later, later also surely I learn to wake up in the morning really" I said casually on dimas.

"I also wake up at six in the morning, every morning class first" I said again.

"When at home for a month, I also wake up at six in the morning, every day" I added.

"Yes believe it", dimas replied.

"Stay now I'm still on vacation, so dimas should understand dong if I want to get up during the day" I replied protesting at dimas.

Dimas just took a breath and exhaled it, then he hugged me tighter.

"Ra you have to inget yes, if I not only love you, but I also love you very much" said dimas.

"Yes, dimas too, dimas know that dimas has a special place in my heart, and the contents are only dimas, nothing else" I said with a seductive smile dimas.

"Udahlah, it will be a storm again" said dimas.

I just smiled and giggled.

"Don't go long" dimas told me.

"Yes, I just want to get some experience" I replied to dimas.

Dimas then hugged me again, and began to kiss me.

I'm trying to give you a sweet memory to be in for these three days.

I channeled all the love I had for dimas, and was very well received by dimas.

Even though it's only been two nights together, but I want to, it's been a sweet impression on me and dimas.

"Ra, the clothes are one suitcase" asked the mother as she pulled out the items I was about to bring from my room.

"Yes ma'am", I replied.

"You don't want to change your mind" she asked again.

I just hugged my mom and smiled.

"At home there are rani same brother alan ma'am, who knows soon mother has a grandchild" I replied while teasing mother.

"Ran mother wants grandchildren", I whispered to Rani, who was beside me.

"I'm not ready" answered Rani.

We then laughed together, while I still hugged my mother.

Then I hugged alan's brother who was just standing in front of my room.

Since morning alan just chose to see me busy packing, without any intention to help.

"You're not afraid someone's gonna kidnap you there" asked alan.

"No", I replied casually.

"Dimas, do not want you to marry a child let's not go", asked alan alan on dimas who chose to sit in the dining room, while looking at the busyness of the mother and rani who go back and forth from one room to another.

"Remember, I must have survived" I told alan and dimas.

"Mom, I'm not afraid of getting home with the baby", asked alan to the mother who just came out of her room.

"Alan here, you should doain your sister well, not even talk ugly continues" said the mother at the sister alan.

"Yes nih kak alan, supported by his sister dong", I said to kak alan.

Father, mother, rani, brother alan, and dimas will take me all the way to the monument train station.

Seeing that all the things I was going to bring were already in the living room, I asked my mother for permission to go to my grandmother's house to leave.

After my mother confirmed it, I walked out.

Grandma's house was just down the street, but walking back towards grandma's house in the last seconds, making the memories I had in this housing appear without command.

Alan brother who used to wash the car on Sundays, ahmad who always greeted my father every morning, before my father left for work.

Ms. Tiwi and her eldest son, who never absent gossiped on the porch.

And the kiki house, which looks quiet without the sound of our laughter from inside the house.

Laughter when mia tells funny things, our activities that gather while reading comics, or novels in the kiki room every holiday, he said, also nia who always cook indomie every time come to the house kiki.

All those memories came back to the surface.

The sweet memories of our days as teenagers, I will keep them neatly in my heart.

I took my breath and went into my grandmother's house.

"Grandmother", I shouted as I opened my grandmother's door.

"Nek rara departs yes", I say goodbye to grandma, while hugging grandma who was sitting on the sofa.

"Grandmother is sad, had to separate equally, usually Rara always to the grandmother's house every day, but now surely still a long time ago grandma met Rara" said grandma while stroking my hand.

"Not long ago, no longer be sure not to feel, you know already home" I said to grandma, smiling.

"Yaudah, you be careful, and take care of yourself, even though grandma is sad, but grandma supports your decision" said grandma, then grandma kissed me on the cheek.

I also replied, kissed Grandma's cheek, and kissed her hand.

Then I stood up and hugged my grandfather, who was just standing at the door of the kitchen, and the living room.

"If rara needs money there, rara immediately telvon grandfather yes, then immediately transfer grandfather", said the grandfather with a firm tone.

I just nodded, then cried at Grandpa's arms.

Grandfather's words were just simple words, but I could feel that if grandfather wanted to make sure, I would have no trouble on the land of the region.

Grandfather wiped my tears and said, I will always be grandfather's grandson, whom grandfather will always be proud of.

Grandpa and Grandma then drove me to the front of the fence.

Dimas seemed to be waiting for me in front of my grandmother's house, then dimas kissed the hands of grandma and grandpa, so dimas saw us coming out of the house.

Dad, alan's sister, rani, me and my mom went in one car in my dad's car, while dimas, he took his car to follow my dad's car from behind.

Along the way, she kept crying while hugging me.

Rani and I tried to comfort mom, I also promised mom, I will often go home to jogja.

We arrive at the station at exactly 08:30 p.m., because I picked up the train schedule at 08:45 p.m.

In less than fifteen minutes my train will leave.

Mother asked me again, if anyone was left at home, I just shook my head and hugged my mother again.

Just chatting, the station announced that the train that was taking me away, was leaving in ten minutes, they asked passengers to get on the train immediately.

The announcement made my heart start to tremble, it felt heavy to leave.

I would love to say that I want to stay, but I also want to give my soul a chance to achieve a dream.

Alan then gave me a plastic bag containing McDonald's, and asked me to eat on the way.

"Anyway, if rara is not at home, rara immediately telvon dad, then dad immediately pick up rara" said father, when I hug father.

"The house is quiet there is no you later" said brother alan who finally shed tears.

I immediately wiped the tears of alan's brother, and hugged alan's brother, then I said, that I would often call alan's brother.

Rani, who was beside alan's sister, immediately extended her hand to hug me, as I had just released a hug from alan's sister.

"Titip ya ran's mother" I said to rani.

"Yes, you are fine there" said Rani.

I took off my arms from Rani, and my cries broke immediately as I looked at mother, I then hugged mother tightly.

Dimas also directly pulled me into his arms, when I was in front of dimas to say until I met again.

Dimas then kissed my forehead, and asked me to promise to come home soon.

"Yes", I replied gently in dimas' arms.

After I hugged everyone I loved, I dragged my suitcase and walked towards the platform.

I only looked once more at them, then I waved my hand, and again walked towards the entrance of the carriage.

I tried to wipe my tears away, when I was already in the carriage.

I put my suitcase and luggage on top, then sat down and looked out the window.

From my seat, I can still catch a glimpse of the atmosphere inside the station.

I could see Rani and dad trying to calm mom down, as well as the chatty alan and dimas.

They were waiting for me to change my mind.

The train whistle then rang, and they all immediately looked towards the carriage.

I waved my hand at them, with a cry that re-framed my face.

I know they can't see me from the outside, but I just want to say that we'll meet again soon.
