The Journey of Love Hara
Go home
It had been 5 days since the incident at the restaurant, Hara still stayed at El's house for a while.
“Morning, mbok,” said to mbok Party who is preparing breakfast for El and Hara.
“Eh, non Hara. How did you wake up? Though the mbok has not prepared his breakfast,” said the mboh who was surprised by the arrival of Hara to the kitchen.
“Mbok, call me Hara. Kan I am not his employer mbok,” protested to the mbok who still call it ‘non’.
“Aduh, non, the mbok do not dare. Kan non Hara guest Mr. El, so it's the same for me, non.”
“Aduh, it's hard to talk to the mbok. Yaudah, if so call ‘nak Hara’ aja, yes mbok,” the door is back. The mbok could only sigh at length, and finally recited Hara's request.
“Hemm.. All right, son Hara,” said the mbok obey, which was greeted with a happy reaction from Hara.
“Mbok, this morning Hara wants to help cook,” he said. Seeing the brief debate with Hara earlier, the mbok just kidding, because it does not want if Hara continues to ask.
“Oh yes mbok, Hara can ask something?”
“What's the question, son?”
“Udah 5 days Hara hitchhiked in this house, but no one else Hara met except mbok and El, most gardeners who occasionally come. If you may know, where are El's parents, mbok?”
“Oh, that problem. Ladies and gentlemen are in Korea, son.”
“Korea? Business?”
“El sir's parents do live in Korea, son.”
“Wait. Don't-don't what I think about El is right? Is El a crossbreed, mbok? For example, his mother is Indonesian and his father is Korean?”
“One stop. How can Hara guess? Though the face of Mr El is more like the face of an Indonesian?”
“Karna Hara also has a friend who is crazy too, mbok. So, because of that who lives in a house this big only the mbok and El.” asked who felt astonished by the man.
‘So that's why I feel weird about this house. Although this house is more luxurious than my expectations, but in this house also feels cold atmosphere. How can a young man just stay with the mbok who nurtured him since toddler?’ hara said in her heart after knowing the truth.
... 1 Hour later...
“Finally breakfast so too,” said Hara who just finished helping the mbok prepare food at the dinner table. Seen from the direction of the stairs leading to the 2nd floor, the figure of a man who for 2 days he was riding, was walking towards the 1st floor while confirming the arm of his shirt.
Seeing El who had gone down, Hara immediately sat at the table and did not forget to be followed by the mbok who had just finished feeding orange juice.
“Morning, El,” greet Hara to the owner of the house.
“Eh, have you woken up, Ra? Morning too,” he said while pulling a chair to sit.
“Even breakfast this morning, the non who prepared, sir,” said the chiming mbok that made El widen his eyes.
“Wah, just 2 days you are here, the mbok already have a friend, yes.”
“What si, mbok. Kan Hara just help. Yaudah, let's have breakfast.” El enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Mbok and Hara. The three also shared their laughter with each other.
...7.30...
El was ready with his work equipment and walked towards the main door. From the back, Hara ran carrying the box of supplies left on the table.
“El, wait. You intentionally didn't bring your provisions?”
“Oh, yes. Forgot, Ra.” El looked at Hara with a suspicious look.
“Ra, what exactly are you doing?” ask El.
“Hm? What's up, what?” he said he pretended not to understand what El said.
“Ah, no. Forget aja. You want to go to college too?” tanyakanya.
“El, actually I want to hitchhike up to my house. I knew I was wrong because I ran away from trouble and went to stay at someone else's house. Therefore, now I want to try to fix my problems with my parents.”
“You're sure of your decision?” ask El reassuringly.
“I'm sure. Yes, although I also can not be sure whether I can survive or not, at least I want to go home first.”
“Alright, let's go. But you have to remember one thing, as difficult as your problem is, you still have friends to listen to your story, Ra. And if you want to run away again, you can come again.” El looks very worried about Hara.
“Can I just think of this place as a place to escape?” tanyakanya.
“El, may you please wait a minute? I think I'm still not too ready, and I want to take college first,” the door. El is happy to wait for Hara in her car.
Hara opened the entrance of her house and walked towards her room.
“Eh, non Hara?!” said bi Jumi, her domestic assistant.
“Halo, bi. How are you?”
“Non where are you from? Want auntie to prepare breakfast?”
“Nevent gone, bi. Hara had breakfast. Hara wants to go to college first, bi.”
“You want to make provisions, non?”
“Kan Hara never brought stock, bi,” Hara said with a smile.
“Oh, yes. Aunty forgot, non, so happy to see non,” said the aunt with embarrassment.
“Yaudah, Hara go up first yes, bi,” he said while leaving bi Jumi on the 1st floor.
Unexpectedly, Hara found a familiar figure lying curled up in her bed while tightly hugging Hara's beloved doll. Mamma. When his heart ached again, his tears fell back on his cheek, but he immediately wiped them off.
Hara rounded her resolve and stepped into her room. Clearly visible blackened eye bags and eyes that look swollen.
“Mama,” said Hara gently while touching the shoulder of the mother and looking fixed on the face of the mother.
“Hara. You home, honey?” mama said when she opened her eyes and immediately hugged her youngest child warmly.
“Hara, forgive mom. I'm sorry that you can't be a good mom to you. Sorry mama,” he said while crying in the arms of the child. Unable to hold back the clear details, Hara again shed her tears while gently stroking Hara's back.
“Ma, Hara is fine,” he said trying to convince his mother.
“Mama don't cry, yes. Now Hara has to go to college, ma,” he said while standing.
“Neg. Mom will never let you out of this house. Mama please, dear,” said her mother who returned to tears.
“Ma, if Hara doesn't go how does Hara do college, ma? Hara may actually not graduate this semester because Hara skipped a lot, ma. And also, Hara has been waiting for Hara's friend in front.”
“You want to go to college? But you're coming home, aren't you, baby? You're not going anymore, are you?” said her mother who was afraid that Hara would run away again. Hara answered her mother's question with a smile while shaking her head, a sign that she was going to the house. Eventually, her mother releases Hara for college.
It never occurred to her mind that her mother would lose Hara so much when she ran away. On the one hand, Hara felt guilty for making her mother suffer as well. But on the other hand, Hara still did not dare to face that reality, especially when she had to meet her brother, what kind of reaction she had to show in front of her brother.
“Sorry for a long time,” he said while closing the door of El's car.
“No, kok,” he said, and again with a warm smile. El drove his car to his college and work.
Yep. Just for information that actually El also has Korean national blood, because the father is a native Korean. Because of his cross-face, it makes a unique side of El himself.
Shortly after, the car reached the front yard of the campus.
“Wait, Ra. Do not go out first,” Hara who is preparing to take off her seatbelt was immediately stopped, and did not understand what El will do.
“Please,” said El while opening the door for Hara. Unbelieving El's behavior, Hara can only smile.
“Gosh, so you told me not to go out because you want to open the door?”
“What do you think?”
“Nothing either, anyway. Thanks, om. This is the cost,” said Hara while giving money of rp 100,000.
“Wah, thanks loh. This is in exchange for the cost of gasoline, yes,” he told Hara who was greeted with a smile Hara. Without them noticing, ever since El got out of the car, many eyes were looking at him.
Sure enough, the smile that Hara thought was an ordinary smile, apparently that smile was quite capable of killing and locking the concentration of people who saw it.
Realizing that many people saw him (especially women), El threw his trademark smile, which made many women who saw him become misbehaved.
Hara clucked at El's behavior.
“Udah, sana. Buruan left, hunted down your cafe,” he said as he walked away from El to his class.
...‘In certain situations, sometimes it is not the person you have known for a long time that can calm your feelings. But he, a stranger who gives a familiar feeling, who suddenly comes like a helper’...
