Tone & Sound
#51 [The sun was sinking, nan]
[Recommendation Backsound fitting when reading this : Florian Palmer - Song For Emma]
Fifteen minutes passed. The rain did not fall, and the sky was clear again. But even so, the black clouds will still exist. Even though the sun is shining brightly. Even though flower petals bloomed all over the earth, the rain would still be in one's heart.
Car until. The pace stopped in front of the house that became the goal. Down tone. His three friends followed. Mr. Tono dropped off the items before finally taking the car away leaving Nada and the others.
That house. The dim Tone Eyes looked towards him. A year ago a cry broke out in it. Years ago someone left him. Leaves a lot of memories and everything that is still neatly stored in the heart of Nada. Until he finally came back. Saw the silent witness. Approaching something that last year was trying to leave behind. The universe loves to joke. Like throwing a bottle of paper in the middle of the sea, but finally the bottle returned to the beach. No one knows.
Browses. Look at each part. It's grey. Some people were pacing around in the courtyard of the house. Many of them were dressed in dark clothes. Which means, letting go of someone's departure. Right enough. Traveling is always represented as such. Yes, although there are one-two who try to slip a bright color on the sidelines of the bitterness, but still, the departure forever just belongs to him. Grizzled.
Perhaps, this return is indeed in honor of Mr. Tio's return to the high sky. But for Nada, this return became something called a return to memories. More precisely the past. Looking back to remember. Really am. That house, Nada was now right in front of him.
We name it orange. Even if we are sad, we can always look colorful. Anyway, wherever we go, we're definitely going back here, aren't we, Dad? Small smiling tone. Her face was adorable like the end of a rainbow that had never been found. Beside him, Mr. Karso also smiled. Playing beautiful notes from touched organs.
That moment was the day they occupied the house. The day that orange became an important part of the life history of Nada. A lot of happiness is spilling over in every part of the orange. Scattered everywhere. And for sadness the same. Or perhaps, greater than the happiness created.
Tone sighs. He woke up from his ten-second daydream. The daydream about the orange that was now in front of him. The daydream of an orange that has become gray. Really am. This return is not about Mr. Tio. Except for the memories that were re-tryed to be revived.
"Non! Nay!"
A loud scream sounded. And footsteps hit the earth. Tone shifted his gaze. Someone was running towards him. Jeje, Naira, and Una also pay attention to the man.
A smiling tone greeted the arrival of Bi Tina who immediately hugged her.
"Auntie misses the same thing, Non." Bi Tina was crying in the arms.
"Nada also misses Bi Tina." Smiling tone haru in embrace.
Jeje, Naira, and Una also smiled looking at that. The elusive long release hug. Because people say, sometimes longing just needs a warm hug. Nothing more.
The hug is over. Bi Tina wiped her tears. Smiling happily.
"But Auntie was happy that Non finally came home. I'm gonna be really happy too." Bi Tina sighed. "Since Non go, the house becomes quiet. No one plays organs anymore. Or who always jahilin aunty early in the morning. Even every afternoon, Bibi saw Ibuk always hold a photo of Non Nada while watching the sun set. Crying." Bi Tina sobbed.
Surprised tone. What did Bi Tina mean just now? Miss Ann? Is that true? Did Miss Ann really miss Nada? Oh jesus. Longs. Really being one of the most honest. Moreover, miss the mother of her son who left. Maybe that's true. After all, which parents do not miss their biological children after a long time did not meet? Does anybody? And as for Nada, upon hearing that longing of Bu Ann, in her heart was like something was blooming again. Something that comes back alive and shining.
"Auntie don't cry. I'll be following the cry. What matters now is that I'm here." Smiling tone. Swiping Bi Tina's right arm. Tranquilize.
Bi Tina took her breath. Nodding slowly and smiling again.
