Tone & Sound

#14 rose

The night passed. The next day at ten in the morning, the day looked bright. The pigeons fly by and by. Welcoming the flirtatious sun that dances above the sky. The light is bright. Moves up to the living room glass window. Although there are still remains of dew there. It rained back last night. Last until this morning. Looks like the opening of the spring festival didn't go well last night.

Tone asleep on the couch. He was slumbering all night there. Nada didn't go to the festival. No, not because of the noise that came last night. Except the rain that fell very hard. But besides that, it's also because of the.

Last night, shortly after the Sound went, Nada immediately decided to see the opening event of the spring festival. But he finally left. I came to the rental house. He said goodbye to Nada and said he had to go home that night to Jakarta. Bara said the doctor who handled Ms. Ann called. She said Ms. Ann had a vasovagal response. The depression that Ms. Ann had suffered relapsed. Ms. Ann's condition was fine. I don't know. I don't know what happened there. The doctor just said Miss Ann's condition was like that after coming back from the park. After seeing the flowers. Of course Nada was anxious to hear that. He also wanted to come home last night. But rejected by Bara. Besides because Bara said Nada must be calm because everything will be fine, also because Nada is not able to go home. He will only be able to go home in two days when the school sends him an email and gives him his graduation diploma.

Tone sighs. He was really worried last night. He had hoped much for his mother's recovery. Miss Ann's tone is sure to heal soon. But the news of his mother's illness suddenly relapsing really took him a hit. It also made him very worried. Any bad possibility could happen. But even so, he continued to try to be sure that his mother was okay. Although it sounded difficult, Nada remained confident about it.

"Nad, so come with me?" Naira tried to wake Nada from the sofa.

In the living room, the three coquettish fairies looked neat. They're ready to go. Today they will go to places that have been included in Jeje's book list. Beach, museum or to other places. Last night after returning home from the opening ceremony of the spring festival, Jeje and Una decided to change the schedule today. At first there were only beaches and museums, they finally added some other places. It was done because only left today is the time for them to enjoy Paris. Tomorrow they have to go back to Jakarta. As planned. Previously Jeje and Una said they wanted to add one or two more days. But Nada and Naira reject him. Nada said she should go home soon. Nada told me a little about Mama's condition last night. Jeje and Una nodded in agreement.

"You guys, Nay. I'm at home. I'll take care of it." Tone rising from the sofa. Naira nodded in understanding.

Nada actually wants to spend time with her friends today. His last day in Paris. When else can they travel around Paris together. It was also in the plans last night. But Nada had to clear up some stuff. Tomorrow he has to leave the rental house. Besides, Nada wasn't excited about going anywhere today. He still thinks about his mother's condition. Bara hasn't reported anything yet. Maybe I haven't arrived in Jakarta yet. Maybe he's still on the plane. Given the enormous distance, eleven thousand kilometers was more. It takes sixteen to seventeen hours of flight time from Paris to Jakarta or vice versa.

Tone and three coquettish fairies stepped towards the door.

"When we want to walk the same way, Nad."

"Yes, it's time now. When else try us in Paris together."

Jeje and Una still seem a little disappointed because Nada decided not to go with them. But, yeah how else. Nada still decided not to leave even though Jeje had persuaded him repeatedly.

"Girls, if Nada comes later we can not dong culinary tour." Naira tried to melt the atmosphere.

Tone of laughter slowly.

"But sure you still don't want to come, Nad?"

Jeje tried to persuade once again. But free. Tone nodded confidently. Jeje raised his shoulders. One minute after that the three centile fairies left. Tone waved his hand from the door. Closing the door afterwards, then stepping back into the living room.

Tone sitting on the sofa. Leaned. Look at the window for a while before finally opening the laptop on the table. Email notifications from the school are listed there. Tone opened the email. The school approved his graduation. It is written in French very long. The explanation of the diploma also exists. As well as the signature of Cikal who became his guidance teacher. In this way, there's nothing to stand in the way of his return tomorrow. Nada can return to Jakarta tomorrow. But if you think about it, the email was out of expectations. Because Nada knows, it took twenty-four hours of school process to reply to the email he sent yesterday afternoon. Maybe it was all because of Cikal. Given, Cikal has promised to accelerate the graduation process.

Tone shuts down laptop. Lean on the couch again. He thought of Cikal. Nada remembers this morning Cikal is going to Banda Neira. Nada also remembered not replying to the message. About the festival that Cikal delivered yesterday. Although now the priority is to return to Jakarta-meet with his mother, actually if I can be honest Nada wants to go there. The Banda Neira festival. Because he thinks the festival must be great. Moreover, Cikal said that there will be many world Jazz musicians present. Nada had thought to come even though he did not want to be the manager as Cikal had promised, Nada just wanted to see and enjoy the festival. He was curious about the place anyway. Neira Banda.

Cikal said that in addition to being a music festival that presents famous musicians from abroad or domestically, the Banda Neira festival also aims as a medium to better introduce Indonesia to the world. Tourist destination, or something else. Cikal said this is a good opportunity. That's why he seemed so excited yesterday. That guy is great. Tone of laughter slowly. Although it looks old and not fit into the male type of Nada, but Nada admires it quite. At least Cikal is not a criteria men sucks. Not like him.

Ting

Tone turned. Looking towards the door of the house. The bell rang. Looks like there's a guest. Or maybe it's three fairies. Maybe something is left behind. Tone up from the sofa. Step towards the door.

"Is there anything missing?"

Tone opens the door of the house. But he was silent afterwards. Turns out the tone was wrong. It turned out that it wasn't the three centil fairies that were at the door. Except Sound.

"Take it in time. If you'd like, please give it five stars." The sound of smiling is sure. Tone turns away the face.

#########

Tone turned his face for a while then looked at Sound. He looked confused and a little curious. For the second time the sound was suddenly at the door of his house. What is that man doing. What he wants. Or maybe there's another deposit for Nada like last night. But looking around, his face was suspicious.

"A good place to look at the sky." Nodding sounds. Look at the sky for a moment.

"I've lived here for three years. But for the first time I received a guest in the morning. Can I help you?" Tone folding hand. Sound stared.

"I used to listen to the morning radio before doing activities. Including earlier. Broadcasters say today the sky of Paris is clear. I think it's very good. We need morning sunlight for the release of the hormone serotonin so we can be calm and focused." The sound nodded slowly. Looking at the sky again faintly.

"Don't tell me you missed the sun this morning, Lea. Yeah, some people might not care about that."

Tone folded his forehead.

"I mean, look. Those creases, welcoming guests without smiling, and being a bad host by letting guests stand long before the door. I thought maybe you haven't been exposed to this beautiful morning sun. What's more--"

"I just woke up five minutes ago. And it still feels sleepy enough to understand everything you've been talking about." Cutting tone. Nodding sounds.

"Why?" Tone asked curiously. The sound of putting a finger in front of his mouth, like he was thinking.

"No. It's just that the wrinkles are multiplying. It's obvious you're not well or maybe you're upset. Rapid aging process. Very unfortunate. I think from tomorrow you should listen to the morning radio to be more calm and focused, Lea."

Tone staring Sharp sound.

"It's just a suggestion." Laughing quietly.

Tone stepped towards him.

"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Nan. I'm very impressed with you. Being a morning weather researcher even on the radio, maybe I'll consider that. But now I don't have time for you. I'm so busy. You can leave a message for me if you need to and don't bother coming here. Because now I really can't discuss the weather with you. So, bonne journey." Tone smiling wryly. Turn body. Step back to the door.

If Sound had said that Nada looked upset, then it might sound right. The tone is upset. And that's why. Come onl. Wrinkles, serotonin, rapid aging, of course that is not the pleasantries that most women like. Even now Nada is starting to think that Sound is annoying and silly. At least he translated a woman's perception of a man twice at her doorstep. Discussing strange things. Without telling what his arrival meant.

But come this morning to see Nada and piss him off, for a man who had the intention of smoothing the shape of a face on one of the famous paintings in the Paris museum, of course that's not the goal.

"Looks like you forgot something, Lea."

Nada stopped her steps.

"The letter. Don't tell me you didn't read it?" Sound stepped closer to Nada.

Tone turned body. What letters.

"Once again my guess is correct. It must have been a long time ago. Low level of focus and calm. How can you accept something without examining all of its parts?" Sounds shook in wonder.

Tone was confused. Looking at the curious sound. Examine the real intent. But it did not last long after Nada started thinking about something. About monstera last night. The one that Bu Ni left in the Sound for him last night. There's nothing weird about that. The recall tone he received was only five monster leaves. Nothing more. There's nothing else in it. So why is Sound now discussing letters. What does. Or maybe Nada missed something. No. gabe. Just five beautiful monsters with white paper pads in plastic. Or maybe, my God.

Tone turned his face. Then get into the house. Leaving a Sound at the door.

His eyes blinked.

Tone immediately headed to the living room. Directly to the table. No. gabe. Not in the direction of the monster that lies above it. But in the direction of the black plastic next to it. Yesterday night he received the flowers. Five stalks of beautiful monsters that Bu Ni sent through Sound. But it turns out Nada missed something. Tone remembered there was a white paper that became the base of the five stalks of the monster. Perhaps it was the same thing that Sound tried to convey to her. Maybe that paper is what Sound meant as a letter earlier.

Tone until. He immediately grabbed the black plastic next to the five stalks of monster on the table. Opens slowly. Take the white paper in it. Confused tone. It turns out what he thought was right. The paper is not merely placed into the base of five stalks of monsters only. Except for a letter. And it is certain that this is the letter that was meant by the Sound. Tone read its contents slowly. But it seems like it's no ordinary letter. It doesn't look like a love letter, a date call, or a circus letter wrapped in political touches. Tone turned his face for a moment. The letter is an invitation.

"You know, Lea... Who cares about the invitation. This morning I was supposed to be sitting on the bench on the plane to Birmingham, enjoying the classical music of the walkman to a deep slumber and waiting for the flight attendant to wake me up when the trip was over. There is no coffee for economy class. But look now. I canceled that flight. It's only here because my mom herself asked me to go to a nursing home opening with someone I just met. Sounds reasonable to you?" A sudden Sound Protest entered and joined in the living room. Complaining about why he was here. More about the content in the invitation letter.

Tone turned his face away after staring at Sound for a while. The man is sitting on the couch now. Nada looked back at the invitation letter she was holding. Closing his eyes for a moment. Remembering something. Righteous sounds. A split second Tone remembered today was the nursing home's opening. God, why can I forget so many things, he thought.

About six months ago, Bu Ni took Nada to a town in northeastern France. A town called Colmar. It is about six to eight hours from Paris. At first Ms. Ni said she wanted to buy some nice flowers there. Remembering Bu Ni is often invited Nada around France to buy flowers or just visit to enjoy the beauty of France. But after arriving at Colmar, it turns out that Bu Ni had other intentions. Flowers are not the main purpose. There, it turns out he intends to meet his biological sister. Aunt Aeris. Yang is famous for his beverage business and several hospitality ventures in Colmar.

Upon arriving at Colmar, Aunty Aeris greeted them warmly in a house. Smiling tone for sure. Female friendly. Even if you look at it, his face is very similar to Bu Ni's. And of course, it didn't take long for Nada to get acquainted with him. "Beautiful name, Nada. As pretty as your face. He's the ideal son-in-law you told me about yesterday, isn't he, Nia?" Praise Aunt Aeris. Blink. Shy blush tone. Bu Ni laughed. After getting acquainted for a while, Aunty Aeris then told a little about Colmar on Nada. Like the Unterlinden Museum, which houses incredible works by Picasso and other great artists, historic houses and apartments with no mystical stories in them, a clean and beautiful river, as well as the story of the fairy tale about Colmar who had a village in the city. Tone shook his head in amazement. There are many other beautiful places besides Paris in France.

After that the conversation was continued by Bu Ni who asked about the beverage business and hospitality business that crawled up its market value due to the level of tourists soaring in recent months. Colmar has become one of the leading tourist destinations in France. But the conversation did not last long before Aunt Aeris finally opened a new topic about it. Yeah, correct. About Aunt Aeris' desire to build a nursing home in Paris. From here at first. Spontaneous tone was speechless in wonder. Nursing home? two words that are not appropriate if juxtaposed with Aunty Aeris who has a profile as a business woman. Nada also asked about it. But Aunt Aeris did not tell me why. He just laughed. Aunty Aeris said it had been one of her wishes since childhood. And why in Paris? reason's simple. He couldn't have taken care of the nursing home if he was in Colmar. Moreover, he had touched on plans next month that would expand the business of his hotel and mini bar near the river. Tone nodded in understanding. On the other hand, Bu Ni directly leads to the core of the discussion. Their conversation continues towards the place and all preparations for the construction of the nursing home.

For Bu Ni himself, of course, he strongly agreed. It turns out that the plan was also a long time ago they discussed. It turned out that day his arrival to Colmar was indeed intended to discuss the nursing home with Aunty Aeris. Ms. Ni said she'll take care of everything. Starting from choosing a place, until the preparation of the opening event later. Raising two glasses of Kir's drink and toasting, they finally agreed. Everything was as planned after that. Even when returning to Paris, Bu Ni was immediately busy looking for a suitable place. Nada remembered Bu Ni had asked him to come help looking. Bu Ni also said Nada had to help her until the nursing home was actually opened later. Nada cannot refuse. He promised to help. But somehow a few months later the discussion was no longer in their spotlight. Bu Ni didn't tell Nada anything else about the nursing home. Until finally the invitation letter was in Nada's hands now.

Tone turned. Looking at the Sound that was sitting leaning against the sofa while staring at the snowball toy in his hand.

"If this snowball is a time bomb, maybe we've been dead since because you've been standing there too long. The show starts in fifteen minutes. Wasting time in vain." The sound says ketus. He put a snowball on the table and stood up. Tone stared. Onion.

"I'm waiting in front. Five minutes." The sound of walking away left the living room.

Tone stared at the shoulder of the Sound that disappeared from the door. That guy is really annoying. Tone looked at the invitation once more. Read him goals. Not long after his phone rang. One message came in.

Morning Princess's. Sorry I didn't get to call. I'm in a hurry. Do you remember the nursing home we talked about? today the inauguration. Ibuk was supposed to attend but this morning Ibuk had to go to the Indonesian embassy building. But don't worry, the good news is that Ibuk has asked Bunyi for help to replace. He's the one who's gonna open that nursing home. Yesterday Ibuk also sent you his invitation. It was an invitation from Aeris. I asked you to help accompany Sound, yes. Kiss hug.

The tone turned his face away from the mobile phone screen. One incoming message from Bu Ni that quite explains everything. Explain the meaning of the invitation letter. Tone thought for a moment. Closing your eyes while holding your head. This means that today he really has to go to the opening event of the nursing home. The tone cannot be evasive and reject it. Especially because he had promised to help until the nursing home was opened. There's no other choice. Tone put the invitation letter on the table. Sighs. He hurried to change his clothes and took his bag.

Five minutes later, Nada stepped towards the door. Glancing at the Sound that stood outside. On-time.

Tone of silence. Reply staring at the Flat Sound. Piqued. God, if there's a selection of the most annoying people in the world, then the winner might be him. Patience Nada, the opening event was for a while. After that you'll go home and never see her again. Tone sighs. Tidying the bag and staring at Sound again.

"I think you're just a cuckoo, pretentious, and annoying guy. I think I was a little wrong. You're quite considerate of someone, Nan. But instead of you busy looking at my face, why don't we just go right now." Tone says ketus. His face was clearly upset. Don't want to linger anymore.

The sound agreed. Smiling thinly.

Shortly after, they stepped from the front door of the house toward a taxi parked on the side of the road. A taxi is waiting. Maybe the sound ordered the cab. Tone turned. A voice stepped towards him and opened the taxi door for him. Tone in and then sit back. His eyes glanced at the Sound which then entered from another door, sitting beside him. A minute later, the taxi left.

On the street, they don't talk to each other. There is no topic between the two. Busy reading books without making a sound. It might be a biography of someone, a science, or something else. While Nada, since then pay attention to the road and mobile phone while listening to some of his favorite instruments through earphones. When the taxi began to leave earlier, Nada had told about his departure to his three friends through whatsapp group. "It's all that, Nad. At first, nyebelin, long time so ngangenin." reply Jeje in the group. Underneath, Una sent a heart-eyed panda sticker. "So there's another approach, girls." saut Naira with a flowery heart emoticon. But other than that, occasionally he also paid attention to the Sounds and thought of their purpose. If in this world there were two choices between drowning in a mariana trench or falling for her, then I would choose the first one.

Ten minutes passed. Taxis pulled over on the side of the road. They arrive. Tone tidying up the bag then slowly descending. The sound smiled at the taxi driver while saying a sentence of thanks before finally coming down as well. After the taxi left, Nada looked around. Looks like something's weird. He looked at the building in front of him. His eyes blinked. A few months ago even when Nada received the invitation letter that she read this morning, Bu Ni did not tell her the location of the nursing home. But, Nada tau there will be no nursing home that uses the phrase Playground for kids as a name in front of the building.

Tone glanced at Sharp sound. The glimpsed seemed to be buying something in a booth not far from it and then stepped back towards him.

"One glass of tea and a beautiful morning is a very good combination. Like the goddess Hera and the sky." The sound of drinking tea. Glancing at Nada, "You want to, Lea?" But Nada did not answer. Didn't heed the offer. He just stared at the sound.

"Don't tell me you don't like tea, Lea? Holi moly, though this is very good at preventing all kinds of diseases. Cancer, diabetes, or maybe restless leg syndrome." Sounds shook in wonder.

But Nada remained in her position. Did not accept the offer. And still staring at the Flat Sound while folding his hands. Playing both eyebrows.

"OK, what?"

"nothing. Just waiting for a reasonable reason from you why we could be here and forget about this." Tone took the invitation letter from inside the bag, then showed it to Sound.

"We?"

"Yes, we. Please explain why a nursing home could have such a name." The tone pointed to the building's nameplate in front of them, "Playground for kids?"

"Ohh," The voice thought for a moment, "Maybe I should finish my drink first" he replied innocently. Drink that tea again. Not explaining anything at all.

Tone stared at the annoyed sound. Now his patience is running out. He's getting restless. Nada thinks he should go right now. This morning all his time was wasted. But before he actually vented his anger at Sound, before Nada really wanted to leave, suddenly someone's footsteps joined in.

"Good morning, sir. You came on time." Someone in neat clothes greeted them. Perhaps more precisely welcome the sound. Smilingly.

Tone noticed.

The sound stared at Nada for a while before then looking at the person.

"Bonjour, Antonio." He smiles.

"Please, Sir."

"Thank you." The sound stared at Nada again before finally stepping towards the entrance of the building with the person. The man named Antonio.

They immediately left Nada who was still speechless confused and still guessing what really happened. Wasn't this morning he supposed to accompany Bunyi to open the inauguration of the nursing home. In accordance with the invitation letter and message from Bu Ni. But why is he even here. In a building called Playground for kids which is nothing but a kindergarten. More than that person, who is he? Tone took his breath. He had no choice but to enter the building. At least if you want to know the answer, you have to come in. Maybe something there could explain everything.

Tada stepped towards the door of the building and entered it.

After entering the building, Nada noticed around. His eyes focused on staring at everything there in turn. But he did not see Sound and Antonio. He only saw two people who were now staring at him from the table beside his right and also some people passing around him. Tone of silence. He looked back at the building. Look at every detail of the building. This building doesn't look like a kindergarten.

"Good choice, Lea. I thought you'd stay there or maybe go home." Spontaneous shock. The sound came to surprise him. The man named Antonio was also beside the Sound.

"You asked me why we're here but you followed me in and are here with me now. Would every woman be like that, Antonio?" The sound glanced at Antonio while laughing. Antonio pulled his shoulder. Tone turns away the face.

"There are several possibilities as to why someone suddenly chooses something that irritates him. But, one of the most plausible possibilities is an answer." The sound looked at Nada, "You want to know why we're here, Lea? Then let me tell you." The sound turned to look at Antonio. After that, Antonio walked away. Sounds followed. Same with the tone too.

#####

Tone began to step again. Slowly he got into the building. Nada still hasn't seen Sound and Antonio. I don't know where they are. Now it looks quiet. Tone looked around and still kept stepping before finally his footsteps came to a halt in one passage. Tone silent silent. A little surprised by what he saw. His eyes focused alternately staring left-right. Apparently this place is not a kindergarten like the name in front of the building. There are no swings, seesaws, or jovial laughter that we usually hear from children in general. Tone sighs. Look at what he is seeing. On the left and right side are two rooms. When you look at the shape, the two rooms are the same. It's like a hospital room in a hospital. Exactly so. Or maybe this is a hospital. Tone stepped closer to the right side. He watched one of the rooms from behind his glass wall.

Holding the strap of his bag, Tone focusedly stared at the room in front of him. Inside, a girl lies unconscious on a bed with medical equipment. Bad condition. His face was pale. Stiff. Oxygen props were placed on his face. It was also seen that someone right next to him was sitting with his head down while holding the child's hand. Maybe he is a relative or parent of the child. Tone turns away the face. A moment immediately turned around, looking towards one room to another. He slowly moved closer to it. Look back at the glass wall. It looks the same there. A girl was lying languidly on the bed. Hairy plontos. But this one is a little different because the child seems sober. His face was smiling while tightly hugging the woman he was with. He even looked towards Nada. His hands waved even though he looked limp. Smiling reply tone. Although in his head now flashed a myriad of possible questions. Like, what place is this God.

Tone sighs. Turned face. He remembered he had to step again soon. The tone must catch up with the Sound that is somewhere now. Maybe at the end of the hallway, or in another part of this place. Tone turned body. Stare at the silent passageway for a while before finally stepping back along it. Footprints Tone doubtful. Riled. Or maybe pity. He looked back and crossed four, five, six, seven rooms which were the same as the two rooms he had seen before. Moreover, the appearance of all the rooms is the same. The little woman lay weak with such a gloomy-faced companion expecting a mercy or perhaps a miracle. Tone stared straight ahead. He didn't want to see those rooms again. For him it was sad. Nada does not know what place this is. But clearly, this was more depressing than what he thought.

Tone up at the end of the hallway. His eyes looked around. He was faced with two other passages. The same two streets. However, Nada does not need to bother choosing one of them. He immediately stepped into the hall to the right because there Nada finally found Sound. Nada saw Sound standing with Antonio in front of a room. The room may be the same as the previous rooms. Tone stared at the Sound from a distance. Slowly approaching him. Antonio saw the arrival of Nada. The man looked like he was saying a word or two to Sound before he finally left. Antonio stepped away leaving the still standing Sound staring at the glass wall of the room in front of him.

Nada's footsteps stopped. He was standing right next to the sound now. Stare for a while and then be quiet.

"Now you've got the answer you asked for, Lea." said Sound shortly after Nada stood next to him.

Tone says nothing. He only glanced at the sound face that was smiling bitterly while saying the sentence earlier. What's up, what's up with that guy. Why does his face look so flat. Where did that shitty face that Nada saw before. Why does sound look different now? The tone turned its gaze away from the sound. Perhaps the room in front of him could now explain it all. Tone stared into the room. Inside, a little girl was sitting on the bed. Almost the same as Nada saw before. But this one beautiful elf was a little different because her face looked carefree. There was no pale pity, nor a pitiful countenance there. She smiled happily while playing her doll. Even if seen, the infusion device remains attached to his right hand.

The tone stopped his gaze. He lowered his head while thinking for a moment. Now Nada believes that this place is a hospital or something. But Nada was still curious. What made the sound come here. That slightly moody-looking face, what was it exactly.

"So morning when Mama said I had to go with you to open the nursing home, I kept rejecting her until Mama forced me to go over and over again. Of course that wouldn't interfere with my flight to Birmingham, Lea. We have to learn to prioritize what's really necessary, right?" The voice said slowly. Tone raised head. Listen in.

"But half an hour later Antonio called me and told me I had to come here. There's something important I need to know. And that's why I ended up cancelling my flight on the grounds of attending the inauguration of the nursing home with you." The sound stared at Nada for a while, then gazed into the room that was in front of them again. Also with Tone. He looked in the direction of the little girl.

"Name Alya. " The voice said quietly again. Tone looked at it for a moment.

"She was one of Mama's favorite children in the orphanage. Two years ago he was brought to this place in very bad condition. Alya suffers from one of the rare diseases named Noma. A disease that has no cure. The verdict only lasted three months, but look. He lasted for two years and made everyone surprised." Sounds explained. His voice sounds clear. Although a little slow. Sadness is tucked away in every sentence.

The tone that heard the explanation could only be shocked and say nothing. Her eyes looked at Sound for a while before finally looking back at Alya from behind the glass wall. I don't know. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

After that the sound turned back. Staring at Nada for a while then stepping leaving Nada who was still sitting in front of the glass wall. He stepped into the inpatient room. But not long after, Nada followed. Opening the door of that hospital room, they slowly walked inside. The atmosphere is really sad there. They are greeted by the sound of violin and the twang of a very melodious piano. There was also the sound of singing someone who was none other than Alya. The little girl seemed to be humming while still holding the doll in her lap. Sniffing the beetle-shaped head of the doll. Sleep, friend. I'll catch up with you later. Sleep peacefully and soundly. Some words are repeated over and over again. Along with the pace of beautiful instruments propagate up to the entire room.

Tone and Sound looked briefly at Alya and heard the hum before they finally stepped closer to him. But suddenly their footsteps stopped. Alya realized their arrival. Because despite not seeing the Tone and Sound, the little girl thrust her hand towards them. As if you are signaling, do not be noisy or wait. Tone and Sound stared at each other for a moment. Violin and piano sounds reached the end of the road. Alya finished her senand. He stroked the stuffed beetle once more, hugged it, and then put the doll to his right.

"Did my personal bodyguard named Antonio tell you to bring me a pack of chocolates this morning, sir?" Alya started to say. Slightly tidied her hair then looked at Sound suspiciously. The voice that heard that immediately raised its head. Meanwhile, Nada sees Sound and Alya taking turns. Looks confused. Noticing.

"I'm sorry, but your personal bodyguard didn't tell me at all about that packet of chocolate you meant, Madame. Maybe you can fire him and find a new bodyguard."Answer Sound. Little smile.

"Oh, ****." Alya muttered softly.

The voice turned to look at Nada for a while who still looked confused while smiling thinly.

"Because he let me down, I'm gonna fire him. So from today on you'll take his place for me." Alya nodded.

Sound raises the shoulders. Agree.

Alya smiled widely. Open his hands wide. The sound that saw it immediately stepped towards him. Down, Beep hugged Alya. They also hugged. It looks like it is releasing a longing that is stacked hundreds of hours long. On the other hand, Nada saw that. Smile too.

"Alya misses Brother." said Alya in the embrace. The sound says the same thing. Rubbing Alya's back. Smile widely. The hug did not last long but quite explained the true meaning of longing.

They took off that hug. Alya looked very happy. It was clear on his face. That big smile doesn't stop there. It depends on it and it won't come off. It seems like he's been waiting for a long time. Likewise with Sound. It turned out that the man that Nada thought was annoying from his behavior could smile like that as well. Verily Nada saw a different man than the Sound she knew today. Yes, even though he had just known Sound but now Nada was sure that Sound was not as thick as he thought.

Alya stopped staring at Sound. Now his gaze shifted towards Nada. The little girl stared at Nada for a while then looked at Sound again. Sound realized. He got up and glanced at Nada and told her to come closer. The tone that saw it immediately understood and stepped slowly towards them. Although he seems a little hesitant.

"Oh Madame Alya, let me introduce this woman. He's Nada. You can call him Nada or Lea. You must be surprised because now I have my own personal bodyguard. Last morning I appointed him and from today he can start working." The voice said suddenly. Smiling ignorant.

The tone that heard it immediately stared at the sharp sound. Just a few seconds ago he didn't look like a bitch. Since when did he appoint me as his personal bodyguard. But the look on Nada's face that was slightly upset at Bunyi vanished after Alya smiled at her. Alya hugged Nada tightly. Tone smiled and hugged Alya back tightly. Hugs briefly. But it was great as their first impression. The little girl seemed happy to see Nada's presence. He then grabbed the stuffed beetle next to him. Approaching the doll to his ear, it was as if the doll wanted to say something to Alya who seemed to nod a few times now.

"Rose whispered to me and said, if you look around that seems suitable to be the personal bodyguard you, brother. You are his personal bodyguard." said Alya.

Instantly Tone chokes. It was as if he could not hold back his laughter. Seems. I was shocked to hear what Alya had just said. Silently and visibly annoyed as well because when glancing at Nada, the look on the woman's face looked very happy. Yes, a child never lies.

But after that Alya brought the stuffed beetle named Rose back to his ear. It seemed like the doll wanted to say another sentence. Alya nodded again. But what made this time different from before was when Alya smiled. Nope. Not the smile I saw, but another smile. A smile that has a different meaning.

"Rose says you're better suited to be a couple. Maybe you guys are suitable if you get married." said Alya very suddenly.

Spontaneous Tone and Sound that heard it was instantly shocked, looked at each other, and said in unison, no.

Alya looked at the two of them alternately who now seemed to turn their faces away. It seemed like this time Nada disagreed with what Alya had said just now. Likewise with Sound. Alya while twitching her shoulders while looking at Rose. A child never lies.
