Paper Layangan

Silent Mode

Tock

Eyebrows stared in wonder at the door, unlike usual this early in the morning there was already someone coming. Whether the gardener who wants to pick fruit or Riyan who has come from his business in Kalimantan. But it's impossible, isn't he just been there for a day and he just came home tomorrow.

With Alis slowly opening the door, he was not surprised by the presence of January at his door. There must be something important to say.

"How are you?" Shuffling his hair and passing into his house.

"good. What's up?"

January smiled at Alis, he sat himself on the couch in the living room of Alis.

"The wall of your house, stay beautiful with the mural." point it at the painting in front of him. "Like a beautiful forest in pink." Stretched out his hands and breathed in air while closing his eyes.

Eyebrows clucked at the sight of it all, he disliked the pleasantries shown by January.

"Andika January Damanik!!" Eyebrows glaring towards January.

"Yes, patient little napa? You're not very patient apparently. Try to be a graceful woman, who is charming and meek."

Eyebrows grit their teeth at the January innuendo. Early in the morning had messed up the calm atmosphere for Alis.

"Is this an office problem?"

January shook his head looking at this girl in front of him who was very impatient.

"Sit down first, it's not an office or a job."

"Then?" Eyebrows stared in wonder towards January, there was nothing that made January come to his house other than office or work. For him, it was the most important thing of all. But this time it was a little different, what was it?

"Look at Lis, according to the message from your brother Riyan. That you will be betrothed to someone. Maybe your dad's best friend."

"Why didn't sister Riyan deliver it directly to me?" Eyebrows were so disappointed to hear that. Something important but delivered by word of mouth, instead of meeting in person. What does all this mean.

"This is actually your father's message he sent to Riyan. Because Riyan can only come back tomorrow, so today it was brother who delivered it. Because in the afternoon someone wants to see you."

"Who?" Eyebrows stared blankly ahead, his mind wandering back about his father. After all this time throwing it away, then now he comes up with a decision that is difficult to contest. As if his decision was a hammering of the judge on the green table, inviolable and an absolute decision.

"Later you will know for yourself. And now, let's go." Januar felt pity to look at the empty-looking Eyebrow, but he could do nothing to comfort him, because everything that happened was not planned by him or by Riyan. He knew that Alis felt constrained by the sudden decision of his parents, especially after the Alis exile, they had never met him at all until now.

What do you mean by setting me up. Hadn't my father not recognized me as his son, he had thrown me away because of the past. But why did he show up now instead of hugging me, was interfering in my business. Maybe true, my life belongs entirely to my father, even though I never acknowledged it.

Eyebrows clasped his fingers and stared at the car window that slowly left his yard.

"Alis, after school you will be picked up by the driver. Go straight to the office." January glanced at Alis for a moment, not that he never knew what Alis was thinking but that he was trying to divert it. Because that's all he can do to help Eyebrows.

Eyebrows lowered his head, he reached into his bag and took out a business book he had not read for a long time. He missed all that.

January returned silent as he glanced at Alis who had been drifting with the reading world. Eyebrows returned to being a quiet and silent figure because of this problem. Though last night everything was fine even January felt happy because the house of Alis was visited by some of his friends. That means that the Eyebrows have been progressing in the form of association. Now it's back to silent mode. Perhaps it was only a moment of decline that he displayed this because of this sudden news. Yeah, it'll be just for a second, just look after school.

Eyebrows dropped without a word, he also did not turn his head or glance towards January, as if everything he had just heard was just a whisper of the wind.

January sighed and immediately informed Riyan of the attitude of Eyebrow this morning after an unpleasant surprise.

"Why he does not just refuse or rebel when betrothed. Not just silence. During this time he had also begun to get along with the two young men." January muttered to himself as he continued to stare at the departure of Alis.

While Eyebrow, he directed his feet towards the park bench and sat there while reading a book.

"Alis, miss you!!" Liza half shouted as she ran over to Alis who was sitting alone.

"Lis, yesterday I went to a bookstore. That's where I met a hot handsome guy and he looked at me. Oh. glad." Liza covered her face with both palms. He opened it again and looked at the unmoved Eyebrow from his seat.

"H Eyebrow! Why just shut up, dong replied." Upset and grouching.

The eyebrows raised their head and turned left, towards Liza. He looked at Liza for a moment and stood up.

"Well Eyebrows, is there something wrong?" Liza looked astonished as she stared at the departure of Alis who was heading towards her classroom and left her alone.

The eyebrows move calmly. He wanted to enter his classroom but was intercepted by someone. Eyebrows stared coldly at Al who was holding his shoulder.

"Ma'af." Al lowered his hand which was stared at for a moment by Alis.

Eyebrows moving his chin omens asking what's up.

"Lis, my mama thanked him for you. He's so happy to get flowers from you." Al smiled at Alis.

Alis just nodded her head and passed from before Al without a word.

"What's wrong with him, yesterday he was fine." Al muttered with astonishment that saw Alis behaving in an unusual manner.

"Maybe he's got a problem."

Al turned his face to hear the voice of someone behind him. He looked towards Liza who was walking towards him.

"May I speak with you?"

Al nodded his head and walked towards the school grounds to follow Liza's footsteps.

"Alis, the person is indeed quiet and very closed. But lately, I've seen him go through a lot of changes. He can smile even though his smile is thin, he even speaks at length and is slightly spiced up with jokes." Liza looked at Al who was listening to her. He smiled for a moment. "But today, it came back like the beginning. People who have internal injuries. And I know that he's back in big trouble." Liza looked glum after saying those words.

"You mean___"

Liza raised her hand to keep Al quiet.

"I hope you'll treat the wound. I'll tell you about an Eyebrow." Liza smiled sweetly and passed from before Al, leaving a big question mark on Al's head. He turned to look at Liza who had disappeared behind the walls of her class.
