There's Only Us

Two Cups of Coffee

We move to another place, where Fahmi is. The quiet three-story house will be residents other than Fahmi and the father along with several servants and security guards only.

The moon is shining brightly tonight, looking beautiful with a full circle. Black clouds adorned the night sky, two cups of coffee accompanied two fathers and sons who were looking to chat.

Thick jackets wrapped around the bodies of the two, cold air to the point of piercing the skin, trees swaying and falling leaves. They sat by the pool, not just two cups of coffee as friends, but also a plate of cake as a night snack.

“Daddy ... ” Fahmi started the conversation after they had been quiet for a long time, he picked up his cup of hot coffee, then sipped it.

The bitter taste is mixed sweet, passing on the tongue and then further into the esophagus. Passing through the throat to the stomach, a feeling of warmth spread. Enjoy a cup of sweet coffee mixed with sugar, in addition to reducing the bitter taste but also reduce bitterness in life.

“Hemm... ” dad said, he was the same, sipping his hot coffee.

Slightly hesitant to speak, "Do we have to tell Nara?" said Fahmi directly, to the point.

“Srupp ... ahhh .. ” after sipping his coffee, “Do you think it should be this time?”

“Ehm ... I don't know either, but there's been a lot that Nara's been through. Don't you feel sorry?”

“Poor? Who does not pity, seeing his own daughter living hard, must make a living on his own. Caring for children themselves. But I can't do anything,” said the father, looking down.

Staring towards the pond, inside was the shadow of the moon.

"Then why didn't you tell Nara to be honest?" asked Fahmi, he looked towards his father. Beside him, he was closing his eyes, with his legs crossed and his body leaning against the long chair he was sitting in.

“I'm not ready,” he answered briefly, his eyes closed but not asleep. Drowsiness has not arrived, but his body is tired so he wants to quickly rest.

“Padahan 25 years more,” said Fahmi lyirih, he smiled miris.

The truth is, Nara is her real sister, not a coincidence. But he's known this for a long time. Only, his father did not want Fahmi to tell Nara about his true identity.

Fahmi himself was confused, not knowing why. To be sure, he was very happy when he found out that Nara was actually still alive, and not lost.

(the actual events will be discussed in the next chapter:)

"Which one?" Fahmi frowned, as he remembered, he never promised his father anything.

"You said you wanted to bring the kids here, but when? Not yet." Dad pouted, Fahmi patted the eel, he forgot about this

“I forgot," Fahmi again took his coffee which stayed half again. Then sipped it, exhausted in one last gulp.

“By the time I've been waiting, long enough but there is no certainty from you.”

Fahmi says, "I mean my dad's a PHP guy?"

"Can say that. Ah, it's been a long time since we've been relaxing like tonight" Dad closed his eyes again. As the night breeze, unable to get them to leave the place.

“Well, we better tell Nara, the sooner the better. He's already suffered enough," Fahmi returned to talk about their main topic tonight.

"Later think, now I want to relax, while remembering the beautiful past," Father exhaled, recalling the shadow ten years ago.

Where he and his wife are still living happily, along with their two dear children. Long enough, until it does not feel like the night is getting late.

Too washed up in the shadow of the past, I didn't realize that he was asleep. Then he woke up as Fahmi shook his body. They entered the house, with sleepy eyes.
