Pears

Chapter 12 (1)

"Loh Auntie's coming home now?" asked Rafa who was astonished because Tito was carrying a suitcase from the direction of the guest room. Then, Rafa turned to look at the aunt who was already at the dining table. There, Nisa nodded in response.

After storing the suitcase near the main door, Tito walked into the dining room to have dinner with the others.

Before heading to his seat, he bowed first when he was behind Rafa. He brought the face to the child's ear. "Take care of your father" Tito said.

Rafa nodded slowly.

It was certain that Rafa would look after her, a precious treasure that God still allowed to accompany her in the world. Hilman, a 40-year-old man, became Rafa's responsibility later in life as he began to lose one by one his organ functions as he aged. It's okay, Rafa will keep her company until the end of the man's life. Rafa will try as hard as possible to never disappoint him, also make his heart always happy and calm. Rafa's will and determination was never revealed to anyone, it was a promise to himself. And Rafa is the one who will be ashamed and even hate himself if he cannot realize all the determination.

Then Tito sat down. Then the sound of clinking plates and cups filled the eardrums of every human being. No more conversations. Everything seriously ate food, except Vallen, he noticed the oddity of the current occupants of space. Why them?

Maybe they are preparing themselves?

Like Nisa and Tito who had to leave this house, but could not bear.

Then Rafa and his father who must prepare the heart with the state of the house that will be lonely.

Vallen understands the departure of his mother Rafa to be a big blow to this family. But all that has happened. God says it has to be. Then Vallen felt he was to replace the role of Mira, to make this house warm. Being Arunika just like the one Mira put on her last name.

After the swastamita, the night, then the arunika rises.

Little does Vallen understand what fate is talking about.

A few minutes were spent on nutrition. After finishing, they headed for the living room.

"Everyone, we say yes. Take care of your health." Tito and Nisa smiled as they carried the suitcase and opened the main door.

"Thank you for accompanying us here" Hilman said, describing his smile.

They waved and disappeared from behind the door.

Sepi ..., inner Vallen who views the state of this great house.

The clock shows at 20:00. Vallen is still cool in arranging his skincare and makeup on a new dresser placed right next to the wardrobe. After arranging, he took it again and then exchanged it, had sorted with the category of products that are used first and ended up using what, but replaced so that the color of the product is the same, so that the product is the same, then change again to adjust the height. Basic Vallen, less work times yes. He struggled long enough in front of the table, fortunately while sitting down, so Vallen did not feel tired.

Tuk ...

Tuk tuk ...

Blktor! Tuk ...

Yes, that's the sound Vallen makes from his work. Not to mention when the product there is a fall because it was nudged. Getting noisy. The long sound made Rafa careless as well. He's studying for school again tomorrow, and his wife is making those irregular noises instead. Very disturbing.
