the light of love

Tom and Jerry

Rei woke up with his eyes closed as sunlight peeked out from behind the window of his room. He saw the clock showing at six in the morning. Rei raised his body to sit up, his head still felt heavy because it had only slept for three hours. Almost all night he could not sleep because in his head continued to appear the figure of the girl he now knows named kirana.

Yesterday while at the cafe, Rei could barely take his gaze away from the girl. There was a strange tremor in his chest that he had never felt in any woman before. Even in the cafe parking lot that again coincidentally they cross paths, ana is still unaware of the look of the eyes that continue to follow her. Rei was confused half to death thinking about who the girl really was until he suddenly entered his mind and increasingly filled his head. Rei growled and rubbed his face rough from feeling annoyed himself. He forced his body out of bed and walked to the bathroom. Perhaps taking a cold shower can cast a shadow of kirana out of his head, rei thought.

About half an hour later, a well-groomed rei with a backpack on his shoulder descended from his room on the second floor into the dining room not far from the stairs. Her father, mother, and sister were sitting at the big table.

“Rei.. want breakfast what?” asked her mother when she saw Rei sitting across the table in front of her.

“Bread aja ma” reply rei on the beautiful woman named danita it.

Then Danita began to take a piece of bread and apply chocolate jam on it.

“How did you lecture rei?” ask a man who is Rei's father.

He is Sebastian Adhitama, a businessman who is very famous in the business world for his success. Sebastian is authoritative, decisive, and cold. Everyone who knew him even his wife and children were very fond of him.

“Good - good pa” reply rei.

“Don't mostly hang out that's not clear with your friends, it's, wherever you are the only boy who will continue our family business” said sebastian in a flat tone but sounded full of assertiveness in it.

“I yes pa” replied Rei who was a little surprised to hear his father knew that he often spent time with his friends.

“Ga what's hanging out as long as it's not weird, don't, and it should be possible for time not to disturb the lecture and break time you” said Danita while thrusting a plate containing brown bread towards the rei.

“Iya maaa.. rei engga strange-strange kok” sahut rei while taking a piece of bread from his plate.

“Kak rei dating keeps pa” chirps a girl next to rei.

Instantly rei turned to his sister “just so you said carrissa” said rei sewot.

“Once in a while bring your girlfriend dong to the house, know your mom and papa” said Danita.

“Apaan sih mama, people rei jomblo” said rei relaxed.

Carrissa snorted at the words of her sister.

Rei who heard that “apa lo? kids don't have to follow!” he said while shaking his sister's head slowly.

“Ish what the heck playing head, carris people say nothing also” said carrissa pouting while rubbing her own head.

“Udah already. You guys are always fighting, like tom and jerry, wonder mama saw” said danita while shaking her head to see the behavior of the two children. “Mending you quickly leave car school so that it is not too late” he added reminding his daughter.

Carrissa who heard her mother's words immediately looked at her watch and hurriedly finished her drink.

“Rei also directly depart ma, pa. want to find a book first in perpus” said rei.

“Tumben diligent, abis kesambet what kak?” chirp carrissa again.

“Can diem ga lo deck, I emang from the first diligent tau” sahut rei sewot.

“Haduuh.. y'all this makes mama have a headache, already there Cepet depart deh” said danita gaiety.

While sebastian was just busy with his phone not caring about the commotion, he was used to the behavior of his children who rarely get along.

Rei and Carrissa kiss their parents' hands before leaving the house.
