Paper Layangan

22. Paper Layangan

Half of this Eyebrow is already in the green field with some paper kites in his hand. He wanted to play the kite to treat his longing for both parents. He wants to remember the times of togetherness that every weekend afternoon is always colored with kite games.

As for Riyan, he had already left for his office, as there was work to be done. Even though today is a holiday. Coinciding with the red date of the national day.

"Sister, what did you bring?" Appoint a small boy who is around 7 years old, on the kite in the hand of Eyebrow. He looked with interest at this thing.

"Layangan." Reply Eyebrows looked at the little boy. "Whose name are you?" Alis asked later, she seemed to squat in alignment with the child who was limited to her chest.

"Arfan," he answered. "Whose sister's name?" Ask later.

"All right!" Answer Eyebrows with a faint smile. "We play together, how?" Take Eyebrows at Arfan.

Arfan nodded happily and he smiled sweetly, several times he jumped up in excitement.

Eyebrows looked stunned with Arfan's sweet smile. He turned his eyes towards the side of the field. Her heart was sobbing at that sweet smile. I don't know when that smile will be had again after it disappears for a few years.

Eyebrows recollected his happy childhood with a sincere smile. Even the incredible joy every day. That sweet smile he had once had, but it only mirrored for a moment, that smile had already been lost to someone in his past.

"Sister, when's the game?" Ask Arfan while pulling the tip of his Eyebrow shirt.

His eyebrows seemed to flinch from his daydream. He returned to his senses, and stared at Arfan with a faint smile. Apparently Arfan could no longer bear to wait for a long time.

Let him share his happiness here this time, with this little boy. Yes, the little boy who taught her to always smile in every circumstance and smile without burden.

Eyebrows stared around him to feel the existence of the wind. Looks leaves bobbing softly on the ground. Again, Eyebrows ensure wind gusts. 'Enterprise time, ' thought Alis. Supported by the morning weather so bright.

Eyebrows stared at Arfan who never took his eyes off the movement of Eyebrows. "What are you doing?" Ask Arfan who is so curious.

"Sister is feeling the wind and wind direction. If there is wind, it means that the kite can rise and fly. But if there's no wind, then the kite can't rise." Answer the Eyebrow by looking at Arfan.

The understanding Arfan nodded his head. "Is there a wind?" Ask again.

"So, can you see the leaves there, moving around? Well, that's a sign there's wind." Answer the Eyebrow again.

"Oh. I can play now, right?" Ask Arfan who is impatient.

Eyebrows put some kites on the ground and leave a kite in his hand. He looked at Arfan and nodded. Eyebrows handed one kite to Arfan to hold it high. He sent to Arfan to face the wind. And move back slowly. While Eyebrows seem to hold out a roll of kite thread in his hand. After quite a distance, he asked Arfan to take it off and Alis ran to raise the kite. Eyebrows pull the thread to give it a little tension and launch the kite into the air.

It worked!

One kite was trying to climb up, straddling. The eyebrows release the kite thread to make the kite straddle higher, while being pulled so that the kite can survive in a calm position.

Arfan seemed to be cheering with excitement after seeing the red kite straddling with a very small shape.

Some of the other children seemed to be approaching, as well as teenagers. They were so interested in the game of Eyebrow kites.

The eyebrows again raise the four kites with the help of other children. Up to five kites appear scattered. Eyebrows smiling satisfied.

💦💦💦

Al was jogging, this time the goal was a green field. Upon Al's arrival in the field, he seemed to gasp at the crowded field conditions and filled with teenagers and children. Al felt astonished, because it was not usually the field looked like this. Is there a match? ask Al.

Al also looked at the children's views that seemed to be pointing upwards. Al who was curious also raised his head. It looks like a fifth kite with various shapes. Is there a match? Al's mind was filled with riddles. "This isn't even a kite match?" Mumbled Al to himself.

Al tries to get closer to see the player's pars. He was so curious about the players, what adult people played him? Benak Al did not stop from various question marks that appeared.

"Sir, look there! It's so small!" Arfan pointed in astonishment and looked excited after Alis again stalling her kite thread.

Eyebrows nodded his head and smiled towards Arfan. His heart feels plump coupled with the existence of Arfan which adds to the atmosphere more sweet.

Al stared at the little boy who looked excited because of the excitement of playing the kite. Al smiled because of the happiness transmitted by the little boy. Al looked back at the kite above the air. So beautiful. Then Al looked at the girl who was holding one of the kite threads that turned her back.

Deg.

"Allis?" Mumbled Al involuntarily. Al looked at Alis closely even he positioned himself sitting in the field right behind them. But quite far from his existence from the Eyebrows.

"Like back in the days of grandmothers, in 1997, all the children seemed happy when playing kites. Even the sky was filled with kites every morning in the afternoon." Suddenly a 50-year-old grandmother was near Al and sitting next to him.

Al looked at the grandmother with a smile, and was replied by a nod by the grandmother.

"That shadow for children is a picture of high desire. Even so high, they want to reach the sky." Said Grandma Mira with a glare back staring at the kite.

Al turned his face towards Mira's grandmother. He was so curious about the words of Mira's grandmother just now.

"Try you to look at the girl." Appoint grandma Mira on Eyebrows.

Al also stared at Alis in accordance with the instructions of Mira's grandmother.

"The girl has a deep sense of longing but she can make her emotions calm. Even he had deep wounds, but he was able to close them. Just shut it down, not cure it. And you know, son, he's got high expectations about all of that, too." Mira's grandmother said by patting Al on the back several times.

Al who stared at Alis, who seemed never to be off looking at his kite. The eyebrows look calm but they are holding something.

Grandma was right, Eyebrows had something inside him. Maybe some kind of longing. Maybe he used to play kites so good at being in control. Al drifted in his thoughts about an Eyebrow until he was unaware of the departure of the grandmother.

Suddenly the ringing of the mobile phone Alis disperse his daydream. For some reason during this field, Eyebrow often daydream even he did not realize some children who approached him and talked to Arfan. Eyebrows staring at the phone, looks on the screen of his phone with the name of January who called him. Eyebrows rushed to lift him. He seemed to nod and turn off his phone again after getting confirmation from January about his meeting later at around 11.00 wib with a person from Australia.

All these movements never escaped Al's sight.

Eyebrows stared at the watch perched sweet on his wrist. There is still about 65 minutes left.

"Arfan, sister is busy. The light is for you yes. It can be shared with his friends too." The Eyebrow looked towards Arfan.

Arfan seemed enthusiastic to hear it. He nodded and thanked her. And so do the other kids.

"You can put him down, just like you taught me. If you're not strong, you can ask Rio for help." Point Eyebrows at teenagers who join with Eyebrows.

Arfan smiled sweetly and nodded. He looked at Eyebrows. "Sister, next time we play again?" Pinta Arfan on Eyebrows.

Eyebrows stared at Arfan and he nodded his head. Eyebrows passed from the palace accompanied by a pair of eyes.

"By your silence, it turns out you are a warm and loving person, Lis." Said Al who remembered Eyebrow while chatting with the children. Al spread his body in the green field by continuing to look at the kite that looks beautiful in the air.
