See You Tonight
Chapter 3: The Life of Three
That afternoon when I got home, I went straight to the kitchen to find something to eat. Unfortunately, I found nothing. Looks like my mother hasn't had time to make lunch, the supply of snacks is also running out. Finally, I decided to go to the minimarket because I was quite hungry after a day at school.
Minimarket nearest from my house about 1 km. I always walk there. I'd rather walk than ride a bike or something.
***
After arriving, I immediately looked for snacks and cereals. Then I'm looking for liquid cow's milk. After everything was taken, I headed straight for the cashier.
"Eh Galang right?" ask a girl from the side who is still wearing a uniform.
"Yes I'm Galang. Sorry who are you?" I asked back. I really don't know who that girl is and why she knows my name.
"Ehhhh you don't remember? I'm your classmate, Erni," replied the girl who now looks surprised because I don't remember.
"Oh sorry. I'm not good at remembering people's faces and names. We only met once, right?" answer me in a flat tone.
"Ehhhhhhh once? We are also one Junior High School Lang gagaaaa," his face looks more surprised than before.
"Eh really? Really? Well I really don't remember it. Again sorry dad. Yaudah I first well," I went straight to the cashier and immediately left the minimarket.
I really don't remember that girl. I feel a little bad for him. In fact, now I've forgotten what the girl's name is. I still remember his face a little.

My mother was often late to make lunch, not even infrequently she told us to eat outside. My mom had a florist business right next to our house. So, my mom is always busy during the day.
After returning home from the minimarket, I plan to stop by my mother's flower shop for a little more than a look at my mother's flower collection. Actually, I also quite like to see flowers.
When I was almost at the flower shop, suddenly a little boy hugged me from behind.
"Doorrr," the little boy shouted as he hugged me. It seems he was trying to surprise me. From the voice of the little boy, I could immediately recognize that it was Hana.
I pretended to be shocked, then slowly turned around.
"Eh Hana you surprised me haha."
"Hahaha you want to go to the flower shop too?"
"See, look at the flowers for a minute."
"Aren't you eating?"
"Not yet, it was fitting brother came home in the kitchen there was no food. This brother runs out of minimarket buy snacks."
"Ehhhh has not eaten? It will hurt lohh. Let's go home first let Hana cook for sister. After that new sister can see the flowers," Hana's face changed worried. Hana looks so adorable while putting on such a worried face.
"Yes, come on. What do you want to cook?" my many.
"Let's see" replied Hana.
We went back home without stopping by the florist.

"Sister, don't look. Keep your eyes closed until Hana is completely done cooking" said Hana while frying.
"Yes, my sister is very nervous" I said as I continued to sit at the dinner table. To be honest I already knew what Hana was cooking from the smell. Hana must be cooking an omelet. Not only from the smell alone, I know Hana can also cook omelet.
"Finishede.. Please sir, your food is ready. You can open your eyes now. Sorry to wait so long," Hana imitated the voice of the waiter who was serving the customer.
"Sama-sama sir. Your satisfaction is our priority," Hana still looks to imitate the waiter.
***
While waiting for the sun to set, I spent my time reading novels. Unlike my sister, sometimes she spends her twilight helping my mother. They'll be home by dinner time after closing the shop.
***
"We're the ones, anyway" cried Hana after opening the front door. As usual, he went home with his mother.
"Sister today we eat satay loo. There was a traveling satay merchant passing by the front of the store, so we buy deh..," as usual Hana always looks excited.
"That's good as it is," I said as I unwrapped satay.
"Good meal" said the three of us.
"So how was Lang's school? Smoothly?" ask my mother while chewing her food.
"Mmm is ordinary. No one is special. Only, there were students who did not enter. I'm a little curious why he didn't come in."
"Nobody has a certificate for him?" ask my mom again.
"No, there's no evidence of anything."
"Have you made any new friends?"
"hehey yet. But I've remembered some of their names loo. I remember Ayu as Risa."
"But it's even better if you can be good friends with your classmates Lang. Try to make a close friend or two. It must have been very helpful to get through your High School."
"Yes, if you say that, tomorrow I try to get along with them."
"But if you're uncomfortable don't have to be forced, Lang."
"Good ma'am."
After finishing dinner. Hana and I cleaned the dinner table and then washed the dirty cutlery.
After that, we went to our own rooms.
"Good night kaaakk" Hana said in a sleepy voice. Hana always says good night to me. I'm glad to have a sister like Hana. It was like giving me life energy.
***
I am so grateful to have a sister like Hana and a mother like my mother. They always make my life more colorful. I can't imagine losing one of them. I wish they could live forever.
Hana always gives bright energy, while my mother makes the atmosphere more comfortable. I never scolded Hana or me. My mom always smiles when one of us makes a mistake. I also just saw my mother shed her tears, which is when Dad died in an accident about 7 years ago.
That day, my mother looked very sad. He also looks very weak, even several times fainted.
My sister was too small to understand what was going on. The day after my father's funeral, Hana still thought I was going home.
A week after my father left, Hana just shed her tears of longing. He may have realized that this time he could not go home after being explained by my mother slowly. After that, we only lived three lives to this day.
