Rainy Couple's

[SEASON 1] Close to the Heart

Where to look Kezia's eyes pounded, still the scenery is always people, people, and people. Today, December 31, the Summarecon Mal Serpong mall - or familiarly called SMS - is visited. Many Tangerang residents from several regions came to SMS to celebrate the turn of the year. Moreover, some famous musicians and musical groups came. There are all fireworks. The mall is still crowded. 

Indeed Kezia did not mind its density. An introvert like himself was already used to such a boisterous sight. Is not the campus, every before the lecture, the campus is also as crowded as SMS? Near the administrative counters and banks, many students are busy taking care of the administration. Although, it does suck such a commotion. Noisy. Dizziness. Bikin. Lastly, it must smell of sweat. 

In question Kezia from the crowd in the SMS...His eyes are always almost glistening when watching some families who enjoy the turn of the new year in SMS. Ah, how long has it been well, such a scene disappeared from his memory? The last time he traveled to the mall with his family was when he was in 12th grade High School. That was when her mother was still around. When his father was not necessarily active now-with ***** a whiny job that he thought was too far-fetched. It was also when her two brothers were not married. 

From the guardrail near the staircase, he monitors the situation on the ground floor of the mall. While observing several families who walked together cheerfully, his memory carried over to the past few years. It happened on Christmas day. He grinned himself when he remembered it. Funny remembering. I also regret it. He realized how important family is. Family togetherness is very important. So sorry it felt when he refused to take a walk to the mall together. The reason was: "Kayak a child, Dad. I prefer Christmas shopping alone or with friends."

But his Daddy kept pushing; until finally Kezia wanted to also go to SMS with his core family. At that time, during down the hallway after the hallway in the SMS, Kezia continued to frown. He is indifferent to the chatter of Daddy, Mommy, and his two brothers: Lucy and Thalia. He still bent his lips, even though they were already at the clothing store (He liked to shop for clothes). According to him, hunting Christmas clothes or hang-out is more fun together with their peers. It sucks to go to the mall with Lucy's sister or Thalia's sister. Lucy's sister was stodgy, clueless about fashion; whenever she asked for advice on which dress was good, her curly-haired sister always replied, "Yes, that's good, that's good," - all the clothes. As a result, he became dizzy himself choosing which clothes to buy. While Kak Thalia was pretentious to understand fashion; but the original is the same as Kak Lucy. The Round Face always says, "This is it, Zia." The natureak! Kezia became dumbfounded by himself. That shirt is not fashionable. The color is also pretty. If the Mommy, well obviously different times. Definitely do not understand the tastes of teenagers his age. And if Daddy, usually every time he goes to a clothing store, the man who always wears a rope for his glasses never comes along. Daddy was always waiting while reading some books at the bookstore. 

Now everything's changed. Lucy's sister has been married for a long time and has two adorable sex-different twins. Thalia's sister is also married. His second brother was married a year before Mommy was called the Almighty. Well Mommy must go home because it is not able to withstand the onslaught of cervical cancer viruses that have lived three years in the body. Because of that death, Daddy so busy himself with some business. Daddy always opined, "If Daddy continues at home, Daddy can keep remembering your Mommy. And surely Daddy so jarring and no appetite. Are you ready for Daddy to catch up with your Mommy, too?" Oh yeah, his Daddy was retired before Lucy's wedding. Previously, Daddy worked in a multi-national company based in Jakarta. 

Ah hometown huh? His memory leapt to a beautiful rural area in the province of Central Java. The last time he played to Purbalingga was when he was still in the 8th grade Junior High. It was when the Princess Eyang of Mommy was still alive. That Eyang Kakung has not been seen for a long time. Only Lucy knows what Eyang Kakung looks like. Grandpa and Grandma of Daddy live in San Francisco. He was eager to celebrate Christmas and the new year in America, but Daddy did not allow it. It's not really about permission, but Daddy barely cares about it. Every time you meet at home, Daddy just says, "Eh, honey, are you up? Have you had breakfast? Daddy made an omelette. Already well, Daddy has to go to Makassar to see a business partner." Just arrived the next night, the next morning was gone. Daddy didn't give him a chance to pour out his heart. Kezia is senewen. He held it tightly to the poles of the guardrail. Even if Daddy is not in a hurry, he wants to express his desire to vacation in San Francisco. 

"Mommy.." she groaned with teary eyes. "....I really miss you. Missing the moments we spend the sat-nite each other. But I know, it's impossible." 

"Mommy, I'm sorry. Really sorry why it used to always be a joke every time Daddy took to the mall together. Now I miss those moments again." said Kezia, as if Mommy was nearby. She knew Mommy was different from her. However, he could still feel Mommy's presence. The saying "far in the eye, close to the heart" is true. Mommy will always live in her memory, her heart, even her subconscious. 

Chief Kezia bowed. His eyes were tightly closed, as if they could stem the tears. Though in vain. Her tears still flow. Now he was crying so much. When opening his eyes, he realized to be the object of attention of SMS visitors. He was ashamed of himself. He ran into the bookstore. He told the visitors: "There's nothing, really." 

Inside the bookstore, he headed straight for the novel rack. Immediately his entire body was actively looking for which novels had been released. The wrapper was deliberately missed, because as a sample. Got a book. Damn, why even a family? Kezia is looking for another novel. Uglier. This one is a very sad story. Move on to another novel, but the same. No novel can erase his sadness. The long-haired girl with a Hispanic look was so erratic. The veils of his face stiffened. Her lips are hard to form a smile. He just paced around in the bookstore. Just watching the visitors. Again the view is the same. There are a lot of families in the bookstore. A mother chooses a book for her baby. It reminds him more when he was still SD. Mommy used to be like that. When he wants to buy a story book that he likes, Mommy always prevents the reason the story is not suitable to be read by him. He whines and because of Daddy, can buy the book he wants. 

In addition to many families, in the bookstore was also visited by lovers. Most of his age. In his heart, I swear, he became envious. It seems fun too, visiting a bookstore with someone special. Join hands to a shelf, then read some books while arguing about the contents. Very romantic. Kezia wants to have a girlfriend. Regarding the problem of girlfriend, Thalia often calls and asks when she has a boyfriend, then moves on to get married. What the hell is Thalia? It's easy to find a guy. The prestige dong shot first. He said that actually has its own purpose. Not just prestige. He was never seen with an opposite sex. It's not because he's a same-sex person. Not because no one caught his attention. Only, his heart, mind, and soul had been ordered by a man.
