Perplexed...
That's what I felt when I first listened to my lecturer's explanation. From the title of the material we learned this morning is very young. But why does it feel so complicated. What because of the explanation of Mr. Suharjo my lecturer from Surabaya who is now one of the favorite lecturers in my campus. Or because my mind is too floating through the sky.
Until the class ended an invisible smile on my face. I know my best friend is watching me. He tried to get me to talk and say some things that really made me not interested. In my heart there is only one word "house".
After the holiday season came I booked a ticket back to Indonesia. I brought all my things along. What is left is only a few pieces of krs that I have not filled.
The sky was so bright the first time I set foot on my birthplace. The scorching death felt so obvious on my skin. The weather changed without shaking my feet. I haven't been back in a long time. Almost 5 years, since I decided to continue s 2ku with the student duty program.
My parents are so proud. They can't wait for my graduation. I do, but it seems like God has other plans for me. A plan I can't predict at all.
"hey brother non... " The voice of someone very familiar is clearly heard in my ears. I caught the figure of my only brother Gabriel. He seemed to be waving his hands from far away. His face was handsome and his style was so cool. Naturally among children his age he was so famous. He even got the title of oppa from a friend of his. His busyness throughout the day only created yuo tube content. Not to forget I also brought by a new camera from Canada.
"sama who? "Many of me when I get in front of him. And he stared straight at the red mini cooper parked not far from the airport.
"new to buy yah? " I asked as I followed her footsteps, she just smiled a little.
"what is your school.what semester? "
"discharge.. "
"kok vacation? when can I go ?" My protest stopped. Gabriel opened the door. A tiger-patterned mutt jumped out and ran towards me.
"gambooo." I said excitedly. The 8-year-old dog was wagging his tail. He seemed so happy to welcome my return. Even though he is only a kampung dog with a tail length of about the size of an index finger. But he's such a good, spoiled and smart dog. I realized Gabriel hadn't answered my question. He has his own way of evading.
It took me an hour to get to my hometown. The land in my house is so fertile that behind my house my mother has her own garden so she can save money shopping. He grows chili peppers, tomatoes, vegetables and more. While beside the house he made a very beautiful flower garden. My mom and dad made the house very good. They also have goldfish and chicken. They are so busy every day to take care of it and it is good for their health.
Well since gabriel success with the content and have his own income. My mom and dad don't work anymore. Every now and then I just fill flower orders from several salons and florists.
My family chose to live a simple life in our home. Gabriel has a nice house but he rarely uses it. Maybe because the house we live in has many memories.
"already arrived. "my mother embraced me when I got home. She hugged me tightly letting go of her longing for 5 years we parted ways.
"you are getting thinner and thinner, "the protest of the Father after.
"this is a habit. If you have learned to forget everything. Including forgetting to eat.
"maybe she wants slim, slim jenni blackping mom. "Gabriel from the house.
"let's go in, rest first. I'll prepare lunch ok. " Said my mother later.
as long as you prepare lunch. I went up to my room on the second floor. The room is like before. I walked to my desk. Even the mading I left behind has not changed. There are some pictures of a classmate there. I took one of them. There's a picture of me with Rey there.
"how's rey doing? " I asked in my heart while smiling. I remembered Rey's figure who changed attitude shortly after she learned of my plans to study abroad.
That was our first photo.
We ate together in the dining room. Mother cooks batak special food. Starting from bpk to pounded cassava leaves and also arsik goldfish. My longing felt paid off instantly. Gamboo also gets a part under the table. He's got his own skillet to eat. He's got a picture-patterned apron that my sister made. He's very funny.
"during the holidays miss replace father yah ngurus shop. I want to rest first. I haven't been fishing in a long time"
"ready boss. "
"Sherli must be happy to see you back, he's very diligent. He takes care of the store well "my mother info again.
"just calm down, our secret is safe" said the mother while making a code to lock her mouth.
The next day, Gabriel drove me to a store not far from home. A girl with bound hair looked busy arranging flowers. I entered the door, carrying a paperbag to give it to him.
She was Sherli, a girl the age of Gabriel my sister whom I found by accident while searching for a pussy book. He's a good, hard-working kid. He decided not to continue his studies and worked at my family's flower shop after his father died.
"make a flower message. "My word
"mothers.... "Not serli finish the word he said he was silent. He looked surprised and stood up. Putting the scissors on the table and hugging me.
"sister miss.... " Said joy.
"miss yah? every day vidio calls"
"iyah tapikan different. kok gk say the hell want to go back? "
"liar surprise"
"ahh brother. "
"nih by for you "I said as I handed the paperbag to him
"aihh. " Said as he opened the package. There was a pink dress that made her lips smile of pleasure.
"aihh beautiful.thank you, kk. "
"yes... "
"who are you making flowers for? "Tanyaku then while grabbing a bouquet of flowers that are almost finished.
"bg iyel brother"
"lt.. ?"I said confused.
"he said he wanted to make his friend.
"ohs... "
" he always helps? "
"wih boro boro bantuin. Or at least just take care that I have lunch. It was also always a protest if I came late at aja, already raging not clear. "
"oh yeah.. "
"sometimes he brings his friends here. But they make me noise. Not to mention that her girl friend is here. " Sherli looked as if he was expressing his unek.
"whose girlfriend is the child? "
"gk of course brother. replace mulu. understand oppa tamfan much fancied. " Sherli said.
"don't you have a crush?"
"aih kak non this. ah. I want to continue this first. later he rampaged again. "
