The Curse of the White Cat

The Past II

"Why cover up the past? If your happiness is stored there? "

Adya and Raka have now arrived in front of a chocolate shop that has always been Adya's favorite place when shopping for chocolate. A smile spread across her sweet face as soon as she entered that simple shop.

"I don't know, it all looks the same." Adya surrounded her gaze staring at every corner of the shop.

"Welcome home." A young-looking middle-aged woman greeted Raka and Adya.

"Mrs Salamah!" exclaim Adya. The girl laughed happily and hugged the middle-aged woman.

"You ...." The girl pointed at Adya's face trying to remember something. "Aadiah? Adya who used to like to buy chocolate beans, right?" salamah said, the woman clasped her hands on Adya's face, kissing her forehead. Her tears also fell showing her longing for Adya's figure.

"Ih, mom, it's crying, anyway." Adya wiped away the tears on the cheeks of Salamah.

"Adya's getting pretty, really good with Gerren, isn't she, Gerren?" I don't know where Gerren came from, but the young man came at a time that could be said to be very appropriate.

Adya stared intently at the newly arrived Gerren. "Mom, Adya wants to sneak home, sorry can not be long. Oh, yes, Adya pesen brown nuts yes, ma'am. Rabbit shape," said Adya accompanied by a sweet smile.

"Ok, Gerren get the chocolate right there!" Mrs Salamah directed Gerren towards the right-hand storefront. Adya was wide-eyed, why should Gerren take it?

"Aadiah." The girl was stunned from her daydream, looking at Gerren who thrust a box of rabbit-shaped bean chocolate in front of her, a blue-colored box with a pink ribbon, very beautiful. Unknowingly a smile review was seen on Adya's face. The smile persisted until Raka finally woke Adya from her excitement.

"We're home, yes, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum," said Adya and Raka.

"Adya is getting pretty, Ren. That was it, you know. Her teeth are toothless, her hair is short like a boy, hahaha." Gerren chuckled along with Salamah. It is undeniable, that is how Adya used to be. A brave innocent girl.

Gerren walked to the front of the shop. Looking at Raka and Adya who are separated due to different directions. There, in the car Adya opened the chocolate box. His eyes were perfectly rounded, his face smiling happily as soon as he saw the contents of the box.

"Mom, Adya wants the chocolate there is the same name Adya Gerren." Adya whines to Salamah's mother who is printing Adya's rabbit chocolate.

"Not quite the place, 'is the chocolate small." Ms. Salamah crouched down in front of Adya and stroked the little girl's hair. Since the first arrival of Adya and Gerren is the most anticipated thing by Salamah. For him these two children are very different and often invite laughter.

"Why not make the initial name Adya, aja, certainly can." And this is Gerren, the little one who has mature thinking, is intelligent and never runs out of sense. Bu Salamah smiled sweetly and agreed to the wishes of the two children.

He stood back up, and printed the initials 'A' and 'G' on the rabbit's chocolate.

"Done." Ms. Salamah showed a barrage of brown rabbits in a box that had been given the initials Gerren and Adya. The two children smiled happily, "later if Adya was already big Adya want to make chocolate!" adya exclaimed with excitement.

"Don't bother getting sick hands."

Hearing that sentence at once Adya's cheerful face turned cloudy. "It's already big, Adya is pinter. So it won't take a hand, will it, Mom?"

Salamah nodded happily. "Yes, I'll teach you" he said.

"Udah, we have to go to the park now, hunt!" Gerren pulls Adya's hand until the girl is dragged small.

Adya laughed happily as her past memories came back to mind, for her those moments were very beautiful.

"Sir, tomorrow we're here again, yes."

"Good, non," said the driver.

This kind of adya is much better than having to cover up reality and prefer suffering over happiness itself.

***

The crane!

"Mrs Salamah." Once again Adya called out to him and there was no answer.

"Eh, Adya!" Adya immediately looked on in shock at hearing the reprimand. He turned to look at Salamah who was standing behind him.

"Eh, mom ngagetin, all right." Adya kissed the back of Salamah's hand. He sat down in one of the chairs in the shop.

"Yesterday you came home very sparse. Mother has not yet perfected it," lamented Salamah.

"Eh, yes ma'am, this is a gift from Japan." Adya gave a paper bag to Salamah.

"Thank you" said Salamah, who placed the parcel on the table. "Oh, yes. Adya knows since Adya went to Japan Gerren often come here. Help mom make chocolate, even Gerren help mom make chocolate nganterin to customers." Adya knitted her brows, this story ... Is it trustworthy? Her thought.

"Gerren is always alone, many mothers also know him as a girl, but no one likes Gerren. I just told him to but he kept chuckling, I realized that he would only be happy if you were the same. For Gerren Adya it's everything. I knew Adya was a child and didn't know about it, but now Adya is an adult, you know how to feel."

This sentence, it was true, Adya bowed deeply, I don't know what made her silent, but she couldn't say anything now, that sentence was able to make her silent a thousand languages.

"Mom, Adya's here to learn to make chocolate, okay?" Ms. Salamah smiled, Adya did not change, since long ago she always sucked in the affairs of switching the conversation.

The middle-aged woman caressed Adya. "Gerren, teach Adya to make chocolate."

Whahuh? Gerren's? Adya was wide in disbelief when she found out that the young man was here. Did he hear everything? Or did he tell Salamah to say everything?

Adya turned to look at Gerren who was standing at the entrance threshold. Nah! Not him who planned all this, Adya remembered that Gerren had to attend an OSIS meeting for an art performance. Even the young man was still wearing a full uniform.

"Ok, ma'am." Gerren stepped away towards the kitchen without looking at Adya who was already standing nearby.

Adya sighed harshly and followed Gerren who walked into the kitchen.

Silent, both of them only focus on doing their respective tasks. Adya, who was stirring the chocolate, and Gerren who prepared the mold.

"Udah, that's it, the chocolate bar is charred," said Gerren. Adya immediately turned off the stove and poured her chocolate into the triangular plastic.

"Directly printed?" ask Adya.

"If your hands are strong hot, yes it's direct, aja," the cynical Gerren. Adya snorted annoyedly at Gerren's response.

After a while, then the chocolate can be printed, Adya poured chocolate on the mold, slowly. "If you like that, by tomorrow you won't run." Adya sizzled not accept.

"Teach me that's why." Adya thrusts the liquid chocolate towards Gerren. The young man grabbed it and practiced the correct way of pouring.

"Do you know?" Gerren returned the dough to Adya, the girl nodded and returned to try.

"Well what about this?" asked Adya while rubbing her nose, to make the dough scratched on her face.

"Haha!" Gerren who looked at Adya's face could not help but laugh, he laughed loudly making Adya astonished.

"Why?" Adya furrowed her brows, her eyes narrowed to look at the strange figure of Gerren for her.

"here." Gerren brought his face closer and removed the chocolate on Adya's face. Adya gave a sigh of disbelief, the girl pushed Gerren and said chocolate to the young man's face.

"Mode, lo!" fierce Adya, after which the girl laughed at the chocolate that was scratched on Gerren's face.

"Oh, you're revenge bales?!" Unhappy Gerren shines chocolate back into Adya's face. Adya did not want to lose, now he let all his left hand exposed to chocolate and wanted to reply Gerren many times over.

"Eitz!" Gerren dodged making Adya even more furious.

"Ihh! Here no! Here!" Adya continues to chase Gerren mercilessly. The two laughed off, for a moment all the obstacles just disappeared.

"Udah tired!" Gerren stopped back in his position. Breathing gasps.

"Let's tired!" Subconsciously Adya uttered her brown-robed left hand to her own face.

Gerren who saw the silliness could not hold back his laughter anymore. "Lhh!" angered Adya who immediately wiped the remaining chocolate onto Gerren's face made his face full of chocolate.

"Haha!" Now it was Adya's turn to laugh happily to see Gerren's face.  For the first time after meeting they both felt happy again.

Adya who realized what she was doing immediately cleared her throat and shifted her eyes. "Gue-gue, today is enough." Adya walked quickly away from the kitchen.

"Two wait!" Gerren immediately chased after Adya who was about to get out of the kitchen.

"Actually you inget me, right? Lon inget all, so why do you have to pretend to forget?" ask Gerren.

Adya had no intention of answering, her arrival today was not to get this difficult question. Adya brushed off Gerren's hand and resumed her steps of leaving the store.
