The Moon is Split

The Sweet Little Sister

"What's up, Deck?"

"Leave to learn, brother. Create PR"

"Well, you're so diligent. Sunday to study"

"There's PR from school, brother. Very difficult. I tangent"

"PR what, Deck?"

"IPA"

"Sister, Arzie's at your house. Do you know that Arzie can help explain your PR"

"Tell you, brother. I'm so happy then. I'll wait, brother"

Without Arzie changing his clothes, then took the car keys and immediately drove to Kirani's house. Arzie deftly controlled the steering of his car. He soon arrives at Kira's house.

"Assynoltom... Grandmother...?"

"Valaydun, eehh... Nak Arzie's. Comein. Haven't been here in a long time. How's son Arzie doing?"

"Alhamdulillah, healthy grandma. Grandma herself how's she doing?"

"Blogin ... Just sick old. Wait a minute, grandma make you a drink"

"Don't bother, Grandma. Thank you"

Grandma went inside and called out, Kirani. The sweet woman then went to the kitchen and made Arzie's favorite hot chocolate. Then out again carrying a tampah containing a cup of warm chocolate and fried bananas.

"Please, Brother"

"Thank you, sweet sister"

"Sister Arzie, not weekly with girlfriend tah?!"

"Daughter?"

"Hmmm..."

"Sir Arzie doesn't have a girlfriend yet"

"Cannot be. I can't believe it. People like Arzie, handsome, hardworking are also good, you don't have a girlfriend yet?!"

"Hmmm... Thanks for the compliment, Dek. So ge er Kak Arzie said handsome"

Kirani smiles.

"Where's your PR?"

Kirani heads to her room she picks up her IPA book and pencil case from the top of her study table. Then back to the front. She showed her PR to Arzie. Arzie skimmed and then he understood what this meant. He explained to Kira how to answer the problem that he said was difficult.

Arzie has always been the class champion since Elementary School. Naturally, he could accept college in London without tests. The values are very satisfying. Kira was more and more amazed by the figure of a man she had just known recently.

"Your grades are good, Deck", Arzie checked Kira's books.

The Junior High School student just smiled. Her sweet face looks more beautiful when she smiles.

"Woow, your English nine? Can you speak English, girl?" 1)

"Maure" 2)

"Greats. I am happy to see your school's excellent grades. You are a smart girl"3)

"I am grateful for your praise, brother. You rise me over. Just an ordinary junior high school student" 4)

"No, you are not. You are very smart. Your English is very nice. Good pronunciation" 5)

Since elementary school Kirani's father calls a private English teacher home, besides her mother is an elementary school teacher. So he taught Kirani himself at home. His father was a private bank employee in the city. The sixth grade of Kira's elementary school is fluent in English, her father always invited her to communicate using English since childhood.

Arzie was amazed by the simplicity and sophistication of the Junior High School student. He praised Kirani. Kira blushed in embarrassment at Arzie's praise. Arzie looked at the woman's face deeply. He was a little delusional in his heart. Curiosity wants to get to know the little girl.

Kirani brought the empty plate where the fried banana that had been used up with the hot chocolate cup to the dishwasher. He washed it and rinsed it clean. Then put it on the plate shelf to make it drain and dry.

"Kira ..", call grandma.

"Yes, grandma. Waita minute. I'll put this plate together first"

Kira hastened her work. Then he approached his grandmother in the room.

"What's up, Grandma"

"Sit down here near Grandma!?"

Kirani approaching. He sat next to his grandmother on the bed.

"Yes, grandma. What's grandma calling, Kira"

"Austria ... Can grandma ask you something?"

"Yes, Grandma. Be able. What's up, Grandma?"

"This is the problem with Arzie's son?"

"Sister, Arzie? What happened to Arzie's sister, Grandma?"

"What do you have to do with, son Arzie?Grandma noticed he used to play here a lot. Are you guys dating?"

"Dating?"

"Yes, Grandma noticed her looks like Arzie likes you, Kira"

Kirani. Maybe what Grandma thought. Although to be honest, in his little heart he also holds a sense of admiration for the man.

"We're just regular friends, Grandma. Like brother and sister. Not more"

"Grandmother, worry. You and son Arzie are not on the stage friends. You are of a distant age. Grandma's afraid there's nothing with you. He's a grown man. Maybe he'll be rude to you. How will your future be"

"Calm down, grandma. Kira can take care of herself. I know the boundaries. I think Arzie's brother is a polite and kind man. I hope Grandma's guess is wrong"

"Even so, you have to be careful. Don't let him ruin your future. After all, he's the man they are, son. Different from us. It'll be hard for you later"

"Yes, grandma. I guess I understand what Grandma meant"
