The Love of Cupu

Nikki Hara Syahputra's

Juan's red sports bike stopped at one of Farrel's workshops, which was one of Juan's best friends.

"Hei Dude" said Farrel while doing their special greeting.

"Hey, a lot today?" juan asked after seeing his best friend's workshop looked solid.

"Later tonight there is a race, so they are preparing" replied Farrel who is still focused on his work.

Juan scrunched his eyebrows,

"Race, why don't I know ?" juan asked, usually the information about the race he received the earliest.

"It's an impromptu race, I heard to welcome the race champion from Asia" replied Farrel who was still busy packing a motorcycle belonging to one of his customers.

Juan's eyes shone, he liked the challenge the most.

Asian champion, interesting. I wondered how great the man was, Juan murmured in his heart.

"Tell them I'm coming" Juan told Farrel.

Farel looked at Juan as if he wanted to confirm his friend's words.

"You're sure, it's just a small race with little stakes" explained Farrel because Juan had only wanted to follow the race if the stakes were tempting.

"What's wrong, I just want to hone my skills" Juan replied indifferently.

"OK, come straight to the midnight race" said Farrel.

"Sip" replied Juan, then the man immediately drove his motorbike away from Farrel's workshop.

Elsewhere a girl in two pigtails with thick glasses lining her eyes was seriously reading a book in the library.

"Hara, so come tonight ?" jodie whispered to her friend.

"Ehm" replied Hara who was still focusing on the book she read.

"Okay, I'll pick you up tonight" whispered Jodie back.

Hara did not respond, she was still flipping through the book in front of her.

Finally Jodie was silent, she knew this one girl would not be disturbed if she had struggled with books.

After a while Hara's phone shook, she immediately came out of the library room to pick up the phone call that turned out from the father.

"Halo Pi" said Hara softly.

"Hara, where's honey?" ask Dony Syahputra, Hara's father.

"Hara in the Pi library" replied Hara.

"Hara's met Aunty Via ?" ask Dony back.

"Not yet Pi" Hara replied back.

"Hara went straight to the apartment overnight" Hara added.

"Okay, Today you are in his place, Papi has told Aunty Via that you will come" explained Dony to the princess only wayangnya.

"Ok Pi" Hara replied briefly, he did not like to talk too much. They then ended their phone conversation.

Nikki Hara Syahputra, a 19-year-old Korean Indonesian student who now chooses to attend New York University. Hara is how she calls, she is a quiet girl and also closed only a handful of people who become her best friends. Including the same Jodie comes from Indonesia. They've been best friends since High School, and only Jodie knows the secret to Hara.

The girl has a hobby that she probably wouldn't have thought of. Seeing the appearance of Hara every day that looks cute no one would think that Hara has a hobby that is no less fierce than a man.

"I have to get to Aunty Via" Hara whispered to Jodie after she re-entered the library.

"I'm inter" bargained Jodie, who was countered with a headband by Hara. The girl quickly left the library for Via and Ziga's 2 N Moore Street Townhouse.

Welcomed by Jane, who is the butler at 2 N Moore Street, Jane has served the family since they occupied the Townhouse 21 years ago.

"Please go in Miss Hara" Jane said kindly.

"Call me Jane, I'm the butler here" explains Jane, who then takes Hara to the living room on the 2nd floor of the Townhouse.

Hara followed Jane's steps, she looked around the Townhouse and admired the design of the house that looked beautiful but warm as if describing the harmonious state of the residents.

Via had been waiting for Hara in the living room, the mother of three seemed to be singing a song with piano accompaniment.

"Sorry Madam, Miss Hara has arrived" Jane said as Via finished her piano game.

"Thank you Jane" said Via to Jane's butler, because Via has always been friendly to anyone including the servants even though she is a Madam of the Pratama family.

"Same as Madam" Jane replied.

"I'll excuse you, ma'am" said Jane.

Via nodded his head, then immediately welcomed Hara.

Hara herself was stunned to see the figure of Via, the almost fifty-year-old woman looked beautiful and youthful, despite having 3 children.

"Siang Hara" said Via and immediately greeted the girl with a warm embrace.

"Siang Aunty" Hara replied back to Via's warm embrace.

"No Aunty thought you were already big, and getting beautiful of course" praised Via who made the hue on Hara's face turn red.

"How are you, baby?" vera asked as she carried the girl sitting on the sofa of the living room gently.

"Good Aunty" replied Hara, Hara's eyes almost glistening with Via's attitude, she felt the warmth of a mother she hadn't had for a long time.

"How was your lecture ?" ask Via again.

"Both Aunty, Hara had already done the registration process and tomorrow she could go to college" replied Hara.

"When are you moving here ?" ask Via who made Hara confused.

"Move here ?" ask Hara not sure.

"Yes, yesterday your Papi said that you will stay here during college, because your Papi has a duty in Africa" replied Via which made Hara even more confused.

His father never said anything, he just told Hara to visit Via who was his best friend. Hara scratched her non-itchy head.

"But Papi didn't say anything to Hara Aunty" Hara said politely.

"We'll talk about it later, now it's time for lunch let's eat" said Via who then embraced the girl into the dining room.

They also had lunch together with a familiar.

"How does Hara want to stay here ?" ask Via once again after they finish lunch.

"Hara doesn't want to trouble Aunty" Hara said.

"There are apartments for Hara" added Hara.

"You are not at all troublesome dear" said Via.

"Aunty even happy so there are friends at home, so long Aunty lonely" said Via sad. Since her child is getting older, she is often living alone. Ziga and the twins are busy with their company, while the youngest son Juan spends more time with his friends.

Seeing the sad face of Via making Hara feel bad, she remembered the face of her late mother who had died.

"But what else doesn't mind if Hara stays here Aunty?" tanya Hara hesitated.

"Of course not dear" said Via sure, because it is for the husband and children said Via is a command that must be followed.

They loved Via as a wife and as a mother.

"Alright, then allow Hara to take care of things in the apartment, yes maybe next week Hara can move here" explained Hara, because there are some things that she needs to take care of.

Via nodded happily, in the end there would be an additional new family member in their home.

Hara left 2N Moore Street. He has to go somewhere, because tonight there will be fun waiting for him.
