There's Only Us

Tamu

The sound of birds chirping rang out, the sun was beginning to reveal itself. The light enters a room through a window. The owner of the room was disturbed and started to open his eyes.

Nara glanced towards the wall clock, it was time she woke up. Then she entered the bathroom to cleanse the body. At exactly 6 o'clock he just came out and was wearing full clothes.

While drying her hair, Nara's phone vibrated, indicating a message had come in. Fahmi's name is on Nara's WhatsApp phone. He read it and then replied.

||Ra, I'm sorry today I can't take kids to school. Brother's got a little work outside. But I'm going to do it tomorrow Brother's coming home.||

Fill in the message Fahmi sent. Nara responded by saying it was okay. Just putting down her phone, Nara looked towards the calendar. Now it's on a red date and it's possible that school is on holiday. So today Nara will take her two children to the orphanage.

For a long time he had not visited there, the feeling of longing for the mother of the orphanage had mounted. So busy Nara forgot to come to the house she lived in for 23 years.

Nara goes to the kitchen, she intends to make bread for breakfast. While applying jam to the bread, the door of his house was knocked. Nara walked up and opened the door. Showing the figure of a girl who has been his best friend since the beginning of entering High School.

"Morning. "greet her with her fluffy smile.

"Why are you here?" ask Nara without letting Kiki in first.

"I want to eat.. " His reply, then Kiki flicked her hand in the air, intending to tell Nara to step aside.

It has become a routine habit of Kiki if in the morning he came to Nara's house just to ride a meal. Though Kiki has a home but more at home to eat at his best friend's house. Makes Nara not think about why she can have a friend like that.

"Where are the kids?" Kiki asked as she had just put down her bag. His eyes were staring around Nara's house.

"Still asleep.. "

Nara walks past Kiki and towards the kitchen. This morning Nara had no intention of cooking. And just eat bread with a glass of milk. It became a habit of Nara.

"Where are you going?" Nara put jam on the bread and took another one as a cover.

"I want to work, '" he answered, eating the bread Nara made.

Nara snorted, the bread she made for her son was even eaten by Kiki. Nara again took the bread and applied it with jam. Nessa and Nevan arrive, they join Nara.

The clothes of the two children were already neat, meaning they had just finished bathing. The bread that Nara had already smeared with jam was immediately Nessa grab it and directly devour it.

"Where are we going today, Bun?" nessa asked with a mouth full of bread.

"we're going to Grandma's, will you?"

"Om Fahmi didn't come, Bun?" ask Nevan.

"No, no, no more Fahmi outside business so you can't make sure you play."

Nessa and Nevan did not ask any more, they also already felt homesick with her grandmother. So it doesn't matter if today Fahmi doesn't exist. They ate bread along with stories from Kiki and Nessa. The atmosphere of the dining table in the morning is pleasant.

After that he came out of the house and took out his motorbike from the garage. Nara tells Nessa and Nevan to board after she finishes Locking the door. Then the motor drove away from the house.

The streets of the capital that never changed and always filled with vehicles, traffic jams that have been common now Nara again experienced it. It didn't take long, the motor drove back, passed some red lights and finally arrived at a slightly stretchy road.

Nara drives at a moderate pace, enjoying the morning atmosphere that has not been polluted. Morning dew is gone and replaced with morning sunlight.

After traveling for 30 minutes, the three of them finally reached their destination. An orphanage that never changes, Nara returns to her home. The longing he felt was gone now.

Nara took off her helmet and put it in the rearview mirror of her motorcycle. Putting on her slightly messy hair, her feet stepped up but then stopped.

His forehead creased as he saw a black car. You can see if the car is very luxurious, and also the price. Nara did not know that her mother had a guest today.

Nessa and Nevan who had gotten off the bike immediately ran into the parlour. They didn't realize there was a car in the yard. Their longing for a grandmother who had not met for three months was finally reciprocated.

Nara was worried when she saw them running, if she knew early if her mother was a guest, maybe Nara would come when it was lunch hour. With Nara's quick steps following her two children, she is afraid that she will disturb her mother who is chatting with her guests.

Late, Nara is unable to catch up with Nessa and Nevan who have now opened the door.

"grandmother.... "

The two children shouted, between impatient and unconscious. Can't wait to hug his grandmother and not realize if there are guests. They ran back to where her grandmother was.

Mira's mother who was shocked at the arrival of the two children Nara only returned their embrace, she felt bad with the guest sitting in front of her.

"Why don't you tell Grandma if you want to come here.. "

"Surprise loving, Grandma." Nessa hugged her grandmother.

Nevan who was standing and observing the surroundings only realized that there was someone else. He nudged Nessa's arm.

A hug came off as Nessa felt her arm being cuffed. He looked at his twin with a question mark. Then Nessa followed Nevan's eyes, leading to two men sitting in front of their grandmother.

They looked down, knowing they were being disrespectful. Mira's mother who saw it then told Nessa and Nevan to apologize to her guests.

Gavin, the man who was a guest of Mira's mother, was surprised to see two young children who seemed to have met her. Then he looked back to make sure who the two children were coming with.

Back in shock as he looked at a woman who seemed to be breathing in. Didn't know that she would meet Nara again. He was fixated and motionless, his gaze still staring at Nara who was also just shocked when he saw her.

Nara's heart rate thumped faster as her gaze met Gavin's black eyes. The two of them turned back and looked at each other. The air around Nara suddenly became a little and made it difficult to breathe.

His fingers squeezed each other, nervousness struck, sweat almost pouring out. Surprised and not expecting to see Gavin again. Nara thought yesterday was an accidental meeting and probably won't meet again.

But, today they meet again, as if fate brought them to know each other. Still staring at each other, the atmosphere became silent between them.
