The Curse of Two Languages

The Curse of Two Languages
Chapter 5: On the Way to the Peak of Bogor



"Sister Clara, just shut up? Don't want to eat Mummy's sandwich." Ask Raymond.


The gentle touch on Clara's boat brought her daydream to a halt. Clara turned her head and her Mummy's charming smile led straight to her. "You hear Raymond's question? How are you quiet again? Want a Mummy bribe?" Sarah asked while touching Clara's cheek, which automatically made the girl follow her smile.


"You! Clara wants to be in Mummy's bribe!" Clara exclaimed cheerfully. He likes to be spoiled by his family like this.


"Oh, it's big still asking for a bribe!" Raymond sneer. He was upset that Clara had not responded to the question just now.


"What the hell, deck? If you want to be fed with Mummy just say it, Mummy would want to feed you, really!"


"Daddy's going to be on the bribe, too, dong!" Angelo, who was sitting on the passenger bench near the driver, looked back and saw his beloved wife who was busy feeding Clara, their eldest child.


"Daddy, not to be ashamed of his children even ask to be fed!" Sarah grumbled, but he was happy to give a big bribe to Angelo.


Seeing the warmth of the little family, Guy who was driving the car became envious. Since childhood, Guy has never felt the warmth that comes from the family. His parents died when he was a child. During this time, Guy was raised by his grandfather. However, a year ago, his grandfather died of a severe illness. Now, Guy doesn't have anyone else. He only had a few family people such as uncles and relatives who were eyeing the inheritance he got.


"What are you thinking, Guy?" Ask Angelo. The danger is also that Guy is allowed to daydream like that. He was driving a car!


"Nothing, Uncle. It's just that I'm thinking about my parents who are gone!" answer Guy honestly.


"Don't think about them anymore, Guy. There we are. Think of us as your family. I think your mother and father were at peace." Sarah Pinta. He already knew a lot about Guy before the young man was entrusted to him and Angelo.


"Right! Think of us as a family of Guy! I'm glad to have a brother like Guy" Raymond chimed in on his Mummy sayings


Clara who did not understand what they were saying at all would inevitably become astonished herself. What are they talking about, huh?


Clara looked at them with a glance. I don't know why he felt like he was being exiled. Accidentally, his gaze met Guy's eyes in the rearview mirror.


Guy looked at Clara with a difficult look until Clara was again touched by a strange feeling. Clara who had not fully managed to swallow the bread its contents suddenly choked.


"Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!" Clara's eyes flashed as the girl coughed loudly enough, feeling a small remnant of bread stuck in her throat.


"Drink, brother!" Raymond thrust a bottle of mineral water at Clara with worry. Clara took the bottle and drank it until it ran aground.


"Next time eat carefully, Clara!" Sarah wiped away Clara's tears that had lain along her thin cheeks.


"Ma, sorry, Mummy ... " Clara apologized, and that made Sarah feel sorry. This girl must have felt isolated because they used English to communicate.


"Don't apologize, my dear daughter!"


As Clara tries to lean her back, Clara's eyes meet Guy once again. Clara threw her face out the window. Somehow he felt strange when he met Guy. Is there something wrong with Clara, huh?


Zzzzzz zzzzzz zzzzzz zzzz


Again Clara is in a place like this. Now what else is going to happen, huh?


Clara saw the black-haired prince who resembled Guy and the blonde-haired Princess who resembled him riding through the lush trees. Shortly after, there was the voice of an unknown woman who said something to the two of them.


"It's a waste of time that you're going somewhere to get rid of the blonde princess curse. I told you the curse can't just come off, right??"


Holy hooch! It was the voice of the witch! What else do you want, her? Not satisfied what gives a blonde princess a curse?


..."How do you know it hasn't been tried yet?" Asked the black-haired Prince. He further accelerated the horse's pace and ignored the evil witch's words. Inwardly, the black-haired Prince was already determined to dispel the curse of the blonde-haired princess at all costs.



Black-haired Prince and Blonde Princess are riding a horse...


Clara was moved when she saw the sincerity of the blonde-haired prince who was seriously obliterating the curse of the black-haired witch. If only the dream was real. But why does Guy have to be a real black-haired prince anyway?


Uh, Guy?


Clara sleeps awake when she remembers the young man who had been in her home for several months and was a part of them. I don't know when Guy's gonna be staying at his house. And during that time, the relationship between the two is still no different from the past months. It's still like old times.


Clara looked around the car and found that only she and Guy were there. Where did Daddy, Mummy, and Raymond go?


"Where did my parents and brother go, Guy?" Ask Clara. Ah, crap! Again he spoke in Indonesian.


Guy looked at Clara from his rearview mirror. Living with a family of Caucasians who use Indonesian as a daily language makes him understand Indonesian a little semi


"They said they were going to buy something in the market. They will come back soon."


Clara slammed her body against a chair with a super-duper bete face. He is upset that Mummy, Daddy, and his sister are leaving him.


From a distance, Clara saw her parents and sister had come out of the minimarket and were walking closer to her car. Clara breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was no longer in an awkward situation when he and Steve decided to keep quiet.


When she opened the door, Sarah was quite surprised to see Clara who had woken up from her sleep. "Lho, honey, how did you wake up so quickly? We're not at the villa yet, you know!"


"Clara's hungry, mah ..." Clara replied, not entirely a lie. How could he say that he woke up because of a dream about a black-haired prince who was very similar to Guy? And again, he was hungry.


"Pas benget, brother! Raymond bought a strawberry cake for brother's damage!" Reamond said while showing black plastic containing a medium-sized strawberry cake. Clara who saw that was instantly overjoyed. It will take a few more hours until they will arrive at the Clara family villa in Puncak, Bogor.
