Sky overcast

The taste is bland

POV AUTHORS

Beautiful afternoon, the sky seems to be very showing off all the creations of God. Everything is painted in the sky with paint in place of white clouds. Adam looked at her for a moment, standing on the balcony of his room. Lamenting a little of his story that had to hide his father's death. If people who are still alive are often said to be dead. But this time it was different, his long-dead father was said to be still alive. The family was forced to hide this, because the death of his father was indeed an element of deliberate from someone.

What makes their families feel surprised is, where the driver who was then just lost. Is he still alive? It just disappeared without a trace. And secondly, the police closed the case just like there was already a game by a strong man.

"Adam?" Adam looked back. Looking at the face of the most beautiful woman in the world for him. He smiled and walked closer. "Come on, son." Adam nodded, but soon his smile disappeared. "Patience, you must also be sure of this." Gently stroked the top of Adam's head, then grabbed him by the arm.

She was Marisah, Adam's birth mother and the legal wife of Hendrawan Agustama. Adam was his second son. Adam currently lives alone with his mother. While his first son named Windu is continuing to study abroad, studying at the best university there.

"Have you contacted Abdi?"

"After returning home from the hospital, we'll meet him immediately."

"Have you heard about Dad? You mean the news of Dad's death?" Stop stepping, then nod slowly. And that's just his hope.

"Mom?"

"Adam, stop. If this had no results, then mother would no longer bring it up. Let those who do evil to your father receive his karma." Adam shakes.

"Adam, let me calm down in nature." Adam walked ahead and entered the car. His face was getting less and less excited. Year after year changed, but had no bright spots. Not a bit. If the mouth can say, but another in the heart that can not be sincere. Accept everything, tragic death that someone else intentionally did. Several times the family has been talking, but the two sons are sure that one day everything will be revealed.

Adam currently sitting in High School has not been able to serve in his father's company, and his brother Windu also had to finish college first. Meanwhile, the company will be taken experts with its om. Everything is still going well now. Their finances are also good.

"Dad has no enemies, right, Mom?"

"Adam, the business world is cruel. They can smile in front of us, but they can also kill us when we are off guard. Although on behalf of colleagues, they are also our rivals. That's how your father faced."

"Mom? Maybe not if it's his own family?" The car turns to the left when it reaches the intersection.

"Adam, watch your talk, son. If you talk like this heard by Abdi, he will be very angry. Because as far as they know their family mother loves each other." Adam immediately fell silent and focused on driving his car.

At that time, Adam had heard. It's not clear, but he remembers. Either a sense of suspicion from where it drives him instead prefer to investigate his own family. Adam himself was very sure, his father had no enemies and problems with others. Because every time he won the tender, his father would always be allowed with his mother to eat out with his colleagues. Age is not enough, but his ears are not deaf.

"Have you cleared everything?" Adam stuck his ear on the wall, he really didn't know who was there. Talk to who. Adam could only hear his voice.

"As per the agreement, you must move out of this city. Start with a new life with your family. Yes, I promise to keep sending you money. Moving in a remote village, which is difficult for others to reach. Youunderstand?"

"good. Don't ever call me before I call you."

The mood was sad at his home. But Adam was very sure, the person calling behind the wall was definitely one of his family. Because there is only family there. Who knew his father's death. Only, the premonition appears now, after the family decides to investigate the case of his father's death. But his mother always did not accept if Adam accused family members of doing so.

"Adam?" Adam gasped, daydreams about his past just crumbling away.

"Yes Ma'am?"

"You daydreaming? Shouldn't the hospital turn?" Adam patted his forehead, forced to turn around to enter the hospital. His mother immediately rebuked him, do not daydream while driving, do not like that. The severe trauma that claimed her husband's life made her a fear to ride in a car.

"Sorry Mom."

The visit to the hospital was only one hour, after which Adam drove his mother to come to the place where they had promised to meet his om. The biological sister of his father. Adam said to sit in the car.

"I don't want to hear anything that ends in disappointment." His mother relented, preferring to go in on her own.

Adam played his phone, then glanced towards the car that had just stopped. A woman who may be the same age as her mother, closed the door loudly and walked towards the car behind her. Adam thought, that it was just a pair of cheating who were fighting or deliberately to meet here.

Adam looked back for a moment, then saw that the two opposite sex were fighting. The car glass that is deliberately opened in half makes it have to hear what conversations other people are saying outside.

"Ah shit, I forgot to bring earphones." Closing his eyes, putting his feet on the glass.

"You're the one who's not so good, you should think. You're her mother."

"What's the point of you being a father? Oh, I know. You don't want to be bothered with your new wife?"

"Heh, how petty of your mind. You even realize not yourself? You'd rather be a stepson than your real son? Didn't you see Inaya at all? Huh huh? Answer!"

"Argh! The free talking with you will have no end. I'll take Inaya home!" The woman went and passed Adam's car. One glance at Adam, but Adam pretended not to know and not to hear. Adam knows, she must have thought no one else was here. And of course, he himself would be ashamed.

"Don't you forget! It's my son's house!" Screaming as she got into the car, slammed the door again. Then leave immediately!

"Hey, there's-there's just. It turned out that was how Kinara felt when her parents had a fight. I'm the only one who doesn't know that person, it feels like my heart is glad to hear it." Mumbled slowly.

"Why do I remember Kinara?" Adam directly pressed the screen of his phone, searched for Kinara's number and contacted her.

"Hallo?"

"Nara, say. You're not pregnant??" Deg, Adam himself doesn't know why he asked that.

"Oh well." Adam held his phone back. Squeeze it hard. What is this feeling? Why even worry. His inner.

Ting. Notif incoming message on his phone. What Adam thought at that time was Nara.

Elena?

Exhales. No, Adam doesn't like it. It's just that when the mood is not good, Adam feels very unwilling to be disturbed by Elena who is currently his status is his girlfriend. Recalling the events of that night made her feel even more guilty. Moreover, his relationship with Kinara which was originally good to be tenuous. Although every moment met, but Kinara considers Adam like a stranger.

"Sir, can you accompany me tonight?"

Adam put his cell phone next to him. Just read the message without being interested in answering it.

The phone rings again, Adam knows it must be Elena.

"Yes Hello?" Without the slightest spirit to answer.

"Sister? Why don't you return my message?"

"Yes again on the road."

"Sister, I'm sorry if I disturbed you. But can you accompany me tonight?"

"Where are you going?"

"You want to take the cake to a friend's house, because he ordered it at his mom's shop."

If it had to do with a mother, Adam's heart would have been broken. All right, as soon as he answers. Just turned off the phone, it turns out his mother has also appeared with a sad face like crying.

"Mom? Why?" His mother quietly did not answer, went in and sat down to ask Adam to drive his car.

"Mom? Say." Begging, occasionally glancing.

"Mom knows who did it." Adam immediately braked his car suddenly before entering the highway.

"Our family isn't it, Mom?"

"Adam! I told you never to be so bad with your own family!" Elevate voice. Adam was silent.

"The man died a few months ago, and I also knew that a father-mate had died. If so, make sure she has her karma. We can't sue people who are gone. I think it's all breakeven."

Adam was silent, and preferred to drive and focus on driving.

When he arrived home, Adam was dissatisfied because he only heard a piece of the story. How do you know? How it happened, and sure that it was really the killer or the mastermind behind his father's accident.

"I want to know Mom too." Adam held his mother's arm which was about to go into the room.

"Om you've been investigating. And about the driver, he's just paid. They are also living hard now. If we take this case to the land of the law, the mother does not have to see her child and wife suffer. He also did that on orders as well as money. The money he really needed for his son's surgery back then."

"If so, fine Mom. I'm not gonna bring up any more about Dad's death?" Adam turned around, then before stepping he said he would go tonight to meet his friends. His mother also agreed and did not forbid it.

"Why do I feel awkward? Ah or just my feelings." Looking at the ceiling of the room, I don't know when to do that. If bored most also just go out and stand on the balcony of his room. That is so Adam. Come out just to meet a friend, or if Wahid asks her to leave.

Until the night came, Adam went straight to Elena's house. The little girl he really likes. In addition to good, Elena also managed to make Adam amazed with her. One of them, not shy when helping his mother sell in the store. In fact, Elena also did not live a shortage. And in the store there is also an employee of his mother, ah but that's the case if the child is affectionate with his parents. His friendly attitude makes anyone feel like it. Elena is also a smart girl.

"Sister? From that, huh?" Elena came with her sweet smile.

"Yet, comein. Where are you going?" Looking towards Elena.

"Not far, I'll tell you the way." Adam hasn't driven his car, and put on Elena's Stelbelt.

"Thank you, brother." His face turned red, looking at Adam's face very closely.

"We're on the road now." Elena nodded.

"Later turn left, brother. There's a monument to go inside." Adam nodded. "Have you eaten?" Adam looked at her and smiled.

"Not yet." It's true, Adam hasn't put anything in his mouth. Not eating, not drinking.

"Then we'll find some food, brother."

"Can." The car stopped in front of one of the green houses.

"Sir, wait a minute." Then take the order placed in the back seat. His friend was waiting ahead.

"Sister Adam." Smiling shyly, looking over and talking again.

"Cie, who has a boyfriend now. Remember that learning is also not forgotten."

"Ready?" Salute and then leave to go home.

"Have you?" Adam asked after Elena sat back in the car.

"It's brother."

"Where are we going to eat?" Adam asked again.

"I know a good place, brother." He said excitedly, as if he had imagined the beautiful thing that would happen tonight with Adam. His girlfriend and his classmate.

Dumb lights adorn every corner of the park, many couples are sitting around them. Laughter is also occasionally heard from the gathering of people. They prefer to buy food and eat in the park.

"It turns out there is also a garden that if the night is allowed to enter."

Elena put the rice in her mouth. "Don't like the place?" Adam looked around, then nodded. That's fine, her mind.

"Sir, aak." Adam opened his mouth.

"Once you eat. It's not over either." Wiggling the rice packet in his hand.

"Sister, should I ask you something?" Adam looked over and waited for Elena to speak again.

"If the answer is long and in the form of an explanation, you should finish the food first." Elena nodded, and the one who knew now. Means Elena will ask a question that requires a long stanza for her to answer.

A few minutes later, after the meal. Elena will go back to discussing the thing she was about to ask.

"Sister?" Adam turned his head towards her, looking at Elena's face which was like shining through the reflection of moonlight.

"So after this is college, right?" Adam nodded. "Where are you going to college?"

"The plan will be to study at one of the best universities in the city. But." Intentionally hanging his words.

"Mom asked to study abroad." Deg. Elena looked down. Although it does not know the relationship with Adam will be long or not, but when you hear it why even like sad. I don't want to be much more precise.

"However, because there is someone beside me now. I would refuse to do that and would rather go to college here." Elena's eyes immediately sparkled, and hugged Adam.

"Thank you brother." Eh, Elena felt presumptuous and let go of a hug. Things became awkward that second, but Elena adjusted her breathing, to relax again.

"Sister, there's actually a more important question."

"So it doesn't matter?" Adam frowned.

"Not brother, that's important too. It's important, but there's something a little curious about."

"Say."

"Sir Nara?" Hesitatingly said, Adam turned his head at a glance, then looked towards the front again.

"Why him?" Without looking at Elena.

"Has his parents really separated? And sister Kinara lives alone in the apartment?" Adam nodded.

"Is he not afraid? If a bad guy comes in and does a no-no" Adam squeezes the bottle he's currently holding. Elena had also only asked, but that question had already been answered with the past incident, and the culprit was Adam himself.

Me! I am the one who did nothing to him!! As soon as Adam cried out inwardly, and immediately blamed himself again.

"Sister?"

"We're going home now." Ha's? Elena shook her head slowly, and blamed herself for this question.

Is brother Adam angry because I asked him about his close friend? Does no one else know about their privacy?

Walking towards the car Elena kept asking, which did not require an answer to her statement. Seeing Adam who kept silent, even until the car drove. Adam remained silent.

"Sister, sorry. I'm wrong to ask." He plays his own finger.

"Sister I just-"

"I know you're a girl, too. So must have had the same worries." Elena nodded, grateful that Adam did not blame her for this.

"Sister, I love you." Adam smiled and looked for a moment.

"Come down, we've arrived."

"Sister, thank you."

"Yes. Sleep well. I'm going home, right?" Elena nodded. Stand next to Adam's car, then wave his hand as it moved further away from where he was standing.

His smile was not lost, the little thing Adam did for him was very special. Enter the house while singing a little about her favorite song.

Elsewhere, these two close friends were fighting again. It's common to fight, even jotos.

"Wahid, you're crazy! What if it gets hit?" Protest and hit Wahid's arm driving the car.

"Ah I can't wait to get a vacation soon." Striking the steering wheel hard. Then a small laugh and glance towards Munah who is currently still irritated because Wahid almost hit another rider.

"Basic crazy! It's not a vacation, it's just a school assignment." Gurgle again, while playing the phone.

"What grade do we graduate with? I can't wait, if my grades are high my dad's gonna buy me a new car." Showing off again, Munah is still silent and does not want to respond at all.

"Yes I know you're a rich man's son."

"It's good to know, and since I'm happy to have made a new acquaintance tonight, so I'll practice eating."

"really? The steak at the restaurant is three, right?" Well, it's starting to run now.

"May, but you're the only one eating. I'm waiting in the car." Uh, Munah immediately looked at him sharply.

"It's too expensive, we'll just find somewhere else." He immediately fell silent and did not answer again.

You stingy! Basic stingy? As soon as he wanted to punch Wahid in the face right now.

When it reaches the destination, Wahid's own choice place. What he said was that the place was perfect for those who were hungry. Maemunah did not even touch the food that was already in front of her.

If only this I could buy it too. Glancing towards Wahid who has set the position of the spoon, ready to eat. Feeling that he was glimpsed, he also glanced back.

Put down the spoon and ask.

"Why?" Munah just folded his hands on his chest.

"If you only eat meatballs, I can also pay for ten bowls!"

"Well, great. Then you'll pay. Mas, mas." man." Waving hand.

"Add one more bowl, will he pay?" Munah immediately stood up and kicked the table.

"You home? Just go home there. Wanna ride what? A taxi? It's night, taxi's not there either." Heh, Munah glanced around. Ojek, there is also no. I could only breathe, then sit back.

Crutches.. His stomach sounds to fill.

"Gdget.." Wahid held back laughter.

"Eat it, eat Munah dear." Wahid pours sauce, soy sauce and chili. Then push the bowl towards Munah.

"Hid, sometimes I wonder why I know people like you? Why am I close and a friend! Oh, God why!"

"Hey, remember my kindness. It's impossible if there's none!" Speak casually without feeling hurt at the words of Munah. Why, Wahid can compare which friend, because for him what his friend said is just a joke.

Munah started putting one meatball into his mouth. Then, chewing. It feels good on the tongue and speeds up its eating. Glance towards the bowl that the seller has just provided. That was also Wahid's request earlier, he asked to add.

His eyes were staring at the bowl that was still puffing smoke. The next second, it had already pulled each other. The fork that was Wahid's threat at the moment, slightly hit his hand.

"It's mine!" Sliding the bowl at him.

"That's me who ordered Maemunah!!!" No matter, Munah moved the meatballs into his bowl. Then glanced at Wahid and smiled.

"Now, I'm not that greedy and can spend it all." Munah only took two meatballs and pushed the bowl again towards Wahid. They looked at each other, then the next second "hahaha" laughed. Right, they're just regular fights. Just a few minutes and then I can forget it.

Munah looked at Wahid and smiled, watching his friend eat with his heart. The taste of the rich kid turns out to be very low, roadside meatballs. A college student can also afford it.

The memory remembers something. The words of Wahid who said to ask for his one favor are remembered. One year ago, Munah and his family were having economic difficulties. His father was sick and had to be treated, the salary in a month was only enough to pay his hospital fees. Every morning, his mother opened the door and there was money in the envelope. And it was obviously filled with money.

And it continued until a few weeks, then Munah took the initiative to peek at who had helped his family. Apparently, at 12 pm right there was someone wearing a black Hoodie jacket, deliberately put the envelope. But Munah, can't be lied to, he knows who that person is. Because of the jacket and the car he wears, Munah knows him very well, and that is Wahid. Which means, he was also not as strict as others thought. It could even be said that Wahid was much better than the people around him.

Seriate...
