The Gray Autumn's

The Gray Autumn's
Chatty Girl



Sixteen hours into the air had finally passed Autumn, when her feet climbed the land of Indonesia. The aroma of the country is indeed very different from France which has been the place where he lived. I don't know when the last time Autumn visited the island nation.


A man with flaky hair and stature almost the same as Edgar, seemed to wave at Autumn. Next to her, stood the petite woman who was smiling broadly when Autumn was right in front of the two of them. "Yes, God. You are already this big and very tall," said the woman who is none other than Puspa. He looked up to look at Autumn's beautiful face. "How are you doing, son?" soft sap. Autumn was smiling then. He did not understand what Puspa said. The gray-eyed girl glanced at Keanu and seemed to ask for help.


Keanu also casually translated the words that Puspa had just said. "Yes, already. You must be tired, right? We'd better get home soon, so you can get some rest, '" he asked. He grabs Autumn's suitcase handle and immediately drags her out of the airport.


"How are your parents, Elle?" asked Keanu when they were on their way. The atmosphere of traffic is quite dense, making the speed of the vehicle becomes stagnant.


"They send greetings to you, Uncle," replied Autumn who sat in the backseat. Every now and then his gaze was fixed to the outside, on the atmosphere of the capital city with all its frenzy. The girl felt completely foreign while she was there. Not one day he was in Indonesia, longing has begun to say hello. But Autumn immediately dismissed it. He leaned his head while closing his eyes. After all, Autumn did not understand what Keanu and Puspa were talking about at that time. The girl preferred to rest, until a while passed and Keanu's voice woke her up.


"Elle, wakeup. We've arrived."


Autumn opened her eyes immediately. The car he was riding in had stopped in front of a magnificent house typical of Indonesia. Soon, the girl came out and welcomed a gust of wind that felt different there. The wind is not as cold as in France.


"Come," Puspa asked in a friendly manner. He took Autumn by the arm and invited the girl in. From inside the house, appeared a shoulder-haired girl with a height of about 165 cm. She is Jenna, the second daughter of Keanu and Puspa. Sedangan Dinan who was their first child, now has a family and has his own residence.


Jenna looks friendly, just like her smiling mother. He has a vulnerable age of about three years older than Autumn. To this day, Jenna is still single. "Hi," she said familiarly. He thrust a hand at the gray-eyed girl. "You speak English?" tanyakanya.


"Yes, sure," replied Autumn forcing herself to be friendly.


"Good, because I don't speak French" said the sweet girl, giggling softly.


"Maybe next time you have to learn French. Who knows you could be that guy, Jen," Puspa chimed in. However, his attention is now on Keanu who approaches them while groping Autumn's suitcase. "Tell Titin to bring the suitcase, Pa. The room for Elle is ready on the second floor" she told the husband.


"Bi Titin again wash dishes, Ma. Here, let me help Elle" Jenna said. He immediately snatched the handle of the suitcase from his father's hand.


"Alright, Elle. Come on, let me show you where your room is" Jenna asked. Autumn nodded slowly. After saying goodbye to Keanu and Puspa who were still on the terrace, the two girls entered and headed to the second floor. "My mother said, this room used to be a room belonging to Aunt Arum," the short-haired girl explained after they were in a room with a size large enough.


Autumn circulated the view to every corner of the room, which seemed to have just been painted. The interior of the room is very different from the room in France. However, the atmosphere in the room can make him feel comfortable. "I love her room" the girl said with a smile she gave Jenna.


"I chose the color of this wall paint. Aunt Arum said that you like peach color," Jenna replied proudly.


"Yes, that's right" Autumn replied as she sat on the edge of the bed. The girl was silent for a moment.


"Will you come tomorrow?" bargain Jenna while sitting next to Autumn.


"Where?" ask the brown-haired girl.


"We'll visit the store. It's been three years managing it" Jenna said.


"Sweet in Jar?" ask Autumn while linking eyebrows.


"Yes, that's right. The legendary shop that was passed down from our grandmothers. If you want to come, tomorrow must be ready at eight in the morning," said Jenna, "but I think rather than you just stay at home, right?" the short-haired girl. Autumn nodded in agreement as she responded to Jenna's remarks.


"alright. Now you just rest. This afternoon I want to go out for a while," said Jenna again as she moved from her seat, accompanied by a gaze from Autumn. "I hope you're at home while you're here, Elle. We're gonna take a walk around town later," Jenna's still talking. While Autumn again only responded with a nod. "Yes, already. I go first, yes," this time Jenna actually comes out of the room and leaves Autumn alone.


"Ah, she is very chatty," murmured the gray-eyed girl. Autumn then lay down his body for a moment, reaching for the phone from inside the bag. He opened the gallery and looked through some of the photos he had taken with Benjamin. "What are you doing right now, Ben?" mumbling again. He then turned his body, as if making himself feel comfortable. But what the girl was looking for was not found. Autumn decided to leave the room.


Calmly, the girl with the height stepped foot, until finally down the stairs to the first floor. The purpose of Autumn at that time was the backyard of the house. However, his steps had to come to a halt when he ran into a man who seemed to be the same age as his uncle. The man watched Autumn closely, as if he was looking at her carefully. This makes the gray-eyed girl uncomfortable. Without further ado, Autumn intends to resume her steps. However, just as he was about to pass from there, Keanu's voice had first stopped him.
