Send My Letter to Heaven's
Math
“Still unwilling to confess?”
Kenzie shook his head slowly. His hand was still holding a bunch of colorful tulips that Hyera gave him 3 hours ago.
He left Hyera and her shop as her hand reached for a bunch of flowers that Hyera had thrust. To Kimi, he said.
Breath sounds heavy from Kenzie's interlocutor. Leaning his narrow back to the back of the hospital bench, while his hands were crossed in front of his chest.
“Kak Dhafin is sick. Hyera was quite hit when she found out about Kak Dhafin.”
“I told you, someday Hyera will know everything. No brother is not hit when he knows his brother is very sick.”
“I have a reason not to tell him.”
“Because you love him too much?” The breath sounds heavy. The hand that was used with the chest crossed down to cupped Kenzie's cheek.
“Sound me.” He said, “You can take care of him, you can take care of him, you can love him all you want, do as you like. But if there's anything big about Dhafin sister you know but Hyera doesn't know, tell me. Because it feels a thousand times as much painful if we hear bad news from someone else's mouth.”
“You know that Hyera is my weakness?”
The man nodded in understanding. “But you also know that Brother Dhafin is Hyera.”'s weakness

I'm driving pretty fast. Time shows 21 o'clock over 10 minutes. I'm late. My promise to Mr. Sam at 21:00 began to learn, and I seriously ignored the time of 10 minutes just to take care of a busy teenage couple choosing flowers when only a sprig was purchased.
A little annoying when getting such a customer.
I should have been more patient, but I also had other times that I had to make the best use of to study. Moreover, I have not gotten used to my present time. Divide time between studying and keeping a shop. Really, in my young age, it feels quite tiring.
Poor Mr. Sam, has far taken the time to come my megajari. But I came too late.
I can see a black BMW car lying in the yard. My heart raced like my steps. I'm nervous, what should I say if Mr Sam scolds me because I'm late? Put together all the slightly plausible excuses, or should I talk honestly about that annoying teenage couple earlier? Even Sam didn't know I had a flower shop.
“Hyera?!”
My steps came to a halt with a voice calling out to me from behind.
“Kenzie?” I don't know when the boy will get to my house. His figure is now standing behind me. “Why come here?” I was surprised by the eyebrows that were linked together.
Instead of answering my question, Kenzie raised his right hand, displaying a black backpack that I did not know what it was.
“Learn with you.” He answered while showing off his backpack.
Unwilling to think long, I nodded twice and let Kenzie go deeper into the house.
In the living room, I can see Mr. Sam and Kak Dhafin laughing while drinking tea. I didn't even know that my brother came home early today. Usually, Dhafin's sister will be home at 11 p.m.
“Ohh view. Hyera come.” Seriously, Dhafin stood up and spread his hand.
I slowly greeted Kak Dhafin's embrace, then bowed to say sorry to Mr. Sam who I had made waiting.
“It's okay, your sister has explained everything. Our learning is flexible, so there is no need to feel anxious because it is late.”
I smiled at Mr. Sam's words. Either only in my opinion or actually Mr. Sam is a very good teacher, and wise of course.
“Learn the real. Brother to room first, want to rest.” Pamit Kak Dhafib and I immediately agreed.
“Don't forget to take the medicine sis!” I cried when I saw Kak Dhafin's feet almost step on the second floor stairs.
Brother Dhafin stopped his steps, for about three seconds he turned around and nodded with a sweet smile towards me.
I also returned his smile.
I don't know when I can exchange smiles with my sister. What I think about now is, appreciating the time left so that neither me nor my brother would regret the next time something bad happened to us.
“Your sister is sick?” I'm silent. Look at Mr. Sam standing in front of me. Not answering and just smiling gently at him.
Luckily, Sam immediately returned my smile and apologized. Not wanting to ask a second time. A pretty sensitive adult, I thought.
“Ahh Sir, meet me Kenzie. From now on I will be studying with Hyera.” Kenzie smiled and bowed towards Mr. Sam.
The cheeked Master returned Kenzie's smile. “Dhafin told me before. Welcome to join us Ken.”
We - Kenzie and I - looked at each other and smiled. Sitting side by side with Mr. Sam who began to be busy flipping through his book.
“Every study day at 9pm?”
Looking at Kenzie for a moment, I replied slowly. “Sometimes. Mr. Sam can adjust the clock according to the schedule I want.”
The boy understood. Take the black thing from inside the bag and wear it.
“Since when did you wear glasses?” Ask wonder. Because all I know is, she doesn't have glasses.
“Ohh, this is Fero. Our old classmates. I took it because I thought it was cool.” Down his eyebrows teasing. “Bagimana, cool no?”
For God's sake I held my breath as the boy began to brag, not gasp, just…
…it looks like this. I do like Kenzie, but if he's already in an above-average confident mode like my brother, I can also be a little ilfil. Yes, my brother if he is in confident mode, can make everyone around him shudder in horror.
“Kok. Cute right?” Show off his white teeth, and one hand holds his head.
“Not at all.” My fervent then focused towards the thick book that was in front of me.
Mr. Sam was ready with glasses hanging over the base of his nose. His forehead began to frown and then smile as his busy hand flipped back the book sheet found material that might be in his way earlier.
Math, we're studying those subjects today.
I actually prefer history to mathematics. To me, counting only makes my brain hotter and boil.
I remember when I was a kid and my dad taught my sister how to learn math. My father used to be very good at numbers. My father also won first place in the inter-school math competition when he was in high school.
Not a national level indeed, but the achievement was quite proud for me who was not at all good at counting.
Ahhh.
I also remember how my father used to teach Kak Dhafin so that the man was not too dizzy in solving numbers or mathematical formulas.
Maybe I was a kid, but make no mistake, I still remember the details of my memories with my parents.
How my father once asked Kak Dhafin, about how a square can be a magic square that has a diagonal number decreased and horizontal the same, but only answered Kak Dhafin with a sledgehammer and made my father laugh.
Small but meaningful memories that made me miss being by their side.
I often asked the creator what my father and mother were doing there. Are they found in the same place, or are they still wandering to find each other? Really, I really miss them.
“Focus Ra.”
My eyes glanced to the right, then my net shifted to the side and met a look with Kenzie.
The boy smiled at me. His left hand held my right hand. Maybe he knows I'm daydreaming.
I nodded in the sense of promising not to continue my daydreaming. Staring at Mr. Sam's lips that endlessly rambled about x and y that should be changed in the form of numbers.
Seriously, I don't understand at all.
Kenzie shifted closer and closer, the hand he had used to hold my hand inched down and held his body right behind my back. It was enough to hold my breath for a few seconds, until Kenzie's next sentence left me a little dumbfounded.
He said slowly with his voice that was a bit hoarse. Words behind the ears that are able to make my body goosebumps. You could say, as long as we were new friends this time I got goosebumps from Kenzie's whisper. Though the boy only whispered, ‘Ra, you haven't had a bath yet huh? Your body smells.’
