Shining Sunny's

Traveling Together (2)

Sania and Ezra say goodbye after hearing what they want to hear about Sandra from her mother's best friend. But before leaving Diana gave a large suitcase containing personal belongings owned by Sandra.

" I was going to throw away your mother's remains but I kept them in case you'd come back. Come again if there's time this house will always be open for you."

" Thank you aunt diana, then we'll take care."

For the last time Sania said goodbye and hugged Diana. Before they actually left the place Sania looked around her. Although only a dozen years there but the house still has a place in his heart because he knows how his mother's struggle to build a small and simple house.

" Sister, how about we go there for a second."

Ezra awakens Sania from her daydream. He saw Ezra heading to the house he had lived in by dragging a large suitcase given by Diana. Sania finally followed him.

" Whoa.. This house is old and almost dilapidated but they still seem to take care of it. Surely the owner no longer rented it."

" Yes you're right. Ezra what are you doing?."

Ezra entered the courtyard and sat on a wooden bench in front of the house.

" This chair is still very strong as it turns out. Here brother!."

He shook his body to make sure the bench would not collapse. Sania smiled and sat down with Ezra.

" I used to sit here waiting for my brother to come home. Because I can hear the squeaking sound of the big brother's fence from here."

Sania was slightly moved that Ezra was trying to comfort her.

" So this is the twilight scene you used to see, Ezra. Why does it feel different when I see it from my house.. Ah I mean Aunt Diana's house now."

" What is different we are only a few meters away. And again I feel the same way now the sky does feel different maybe because I see it with you, brother."

" Haha.. Her cute.. If you're like this, there'll be a lot of girls waiting in line for you."

Sania ruffled Ezra's hair.

" That's obvious. But they're all nothing like you."

" like me? Aahs.. You mean I'm this old, so dull and boring, yeah."

" Who said you were boring. And again I've never seen someone just from his age."

Ezra turned his face when he said it and it made Sania even more anxious.

" Now I really realize that you're an adult. Then let's go back and enjoy the rest of our journey."

Sania wakes up and extends her hand intending to help Ezra wake up.

" Sister always forgets I'm an adult because brother always treats me like a child."

Ezra got up and walked ahead of Sania with a face he made as if angry. Seeing that, Sania was very amused.

" Hey.wait for me. Why are you walking so fast."

" That's because your legs are short, brother."

" Basic of this child. Ezra, let's have some ice cream before we go home."

" Wouldn't want to. I'm a little boy."

The two kept walking while continuing to argue with Sania behind her persuading the sulking Ezra. But Ezra finally gave up, because he could not refuse Sania's request.

Both are now in their minimarket subscription since childhood enjoy their favorite ice cream that turned out to be unchanged.

Sania even bought some snacks for herself because Ezra was not allowed to eat them.

Ezra sat down with his legs crossed and propped up his chin waiting for Sania who was still spending her favorite snack.

" Are you sure you're gonna spend it all alone?."

Sania nodded as her mouth was full of food.

" Sister is always nagging for me to pay attention to health but you yourself are not paying attention to your health. You like to smoke too, right?."

" I eat food like this and smoke when I'm not feeling well, really."

" Now whatever your feelings are still not good?."

" Because there's you my feelings are so much better. Thanks Ezra for worrying about me."

" Don't always hold back, if it hurts to say it hurts if you get hurt to say hurt. It's because you're a doctor you can't feel pain and hurt."

The words hitting Ezra made Sania stunned. He looked at Ezra who was looking the other way.

" I'm ashamed of you. You're better at judging and understanding other people's feelings than I'm a doctor. You can also make someone comfortable and calm near you should I do that for you but again I'm the only one who's always accepted a long time ago."

" I do it because I always pay attention to you so I know everything about you and can feel your feelings even if I only see you once."

Deg. Sania's heart suddenly shook violently because of Ezra's words. He often heard such words of seduction from men who wanted to approach him but what he heard from Ezra was very different because he knew Ezra was a man who was always full of sincerity and honesty in the first place his words.

" Sister is done? let's go. I'm hungry."

" Ah, yeah."

Sania who still can not control her heartbeat immediately clean up her food marks assisted Ezra. They finally left the place to find the nearest hotel before tomorrow they returned home and went through the routine as usual.

" What? full too?."

Sania sighed because some of the hotels they went to were filled and the rest were fully booked. He forgot that most hotel weekends are booked by people who want to vacation.

" The receptionist said there was only one room left because there was a cancellation.".

" We'll just take it." Sania soon chimed in.

" Are you sure?."

" Hhmm. if we look again not necessarily we will get a room. Besides it's been night you must be tired all day driving me here and there."

" Well if that's what you want."

Ezra returns to the reception desk. Sania was still waiting from a distance with a raging feeling.

" We used to live together so one room for one night is nothing. Calm down Sania."

He muttered softly and then glanced around and most of the hotel guests were a couple and some brought their families. He was not living in America so he tried to hide his face fearing that anyone would recognize him.

" Sister.."

Ezra surprises him a little because he thinks he was caught with a guy at the hotel by someone.

" O Ezra, are you done? Come on.."

Sania hurriedly walked over with an erratic feeling.

" But the elevator's there, brother."

" Oh, sorry I forgot."

Sania foolishly walked in the opposite direction and Ezra could only hold back her laughter knowing Sania was feeling awkward. She followed Sania to their room.

When it turns out that the room they get is a standard room with limited facilities and what makes Sania a little uncomfortable is the bed available there single bed and only enough for one person.

" I'm sorry sis, I forgot to book a hotel from scratch."

" Why is this your fault? I didn't think long before we left. It's okay I can sleep downstairs."

" You think I'll let that happen?."

" Ezra, you have to sleep well tonight because you have to stick to your sleep schedule."

" How can I sleep if I know you're sleeping on a cold floor."

" All right, here's how. We sleep in one bed. It will be crowded but I will be on the side so you can sleep comfortably. Don't argue with your doctor anymore, I'll use the bathroom first."

" Okay.that's better."

Sania passes by leaving Ezra, being in a cramped room with him waiting outside the bathroom a little embarrassing Sania to shower so he just cleans her face and brushes her teeth before going to bed.

No more than 10 minutes he came out in his nightgown. Ezra alternately entered the bathroom and after finishing also changing his clothes, he laid himself in bed following Sania who had fallen asleep first. Ezra who saw Sania's tired face did not have to wake her up to ask her to shift so she was forced to lie sideways.

He kept watching the beautiful face, the face that always filled his heart from when. Time passed by somehow long and his drowsiness approached Ezra and finally fell asleep beside Sania.
