What's up Selena ?
Chapter 9: The Author
“Mahakam River, a penoh with a hole and a moor, from upstream to downstream, pay for natural wealth” mbok Ros sing while sweeping the terrace of the house.
“Mbok, her voice is very good, can really be a singer, why I just know well mbok can sing as good as this” said I was amazed to hear the sound of mbok Ros which sounded very melodious.
“Still non, ouh mbok so malu” mbok Ros blushed embarrassed.
“That song what mbok?” manya curious.
“Title is Mahakam River non, from East Kalimantan” said mbok Ros who continued to sweep the terrace of the house.
“Not java mbok?” my many.
“Ia non, mbok emang javanese, used to tell mbok the song mas Ghan..” instantly mbok Ros sentence stopped.
“Ghandi, it's okay mbok, until when the hell you want to fast call the name Ghandi in front of me” I said. I can understand why mbok Ros seems hesitant to mention Ghandi, because mama forbid it. I don't know when my mom will hide everything.
“Not mean mbok not well same non Selena, but ibuk already same message mbok non” said mbok Ros who stopped sweeping.
I invited Mbok Ros to sit on the terrace chair. I wish that Mbok Ros could be a little more open with me.
“Mbok, I want a lot, in the eyes of mbok me first how?” manya curious.
“Non was quiet, had his own world, non did not dare to talk to others, used to be when non-childhood non-school at home, but since Ghandi mas come non to be more often smiling and thanks to mas Ghandi non finally want to go to school like an ordinary child” said mbok Ros.
“So you know a lot about Ghandi and me?” my many.
“Do not know many non, but mas Ghandi every day here, from the first only friends to be girlfriend” mbok Ros smiled tempting me.
“So Ghandi according to mbok how?” I want to get to know Ghandi even if only from the view of those who know him.
“Mas Ghandi is cute non, a lot of her behavior, she is cheerful and non Selena is a pity with mas Ghandi, but unfortunately mas Ghandi..” Mbok Ros stopped his sentence again.
“Why mbo, kok not in continuedin” also curious.
Mbok Ros looks nervous in front of me, there's something he can't tell me.
“Non, mbok meresin in the first well non” mbok Ros directly left me alone on the terrace.
The more I look for answers about my past, the more the puzzles go unsolved. Even now I don't remember anything. My tears fell unstoppably again, tightness was so felt in my chest, I knew this not only felt tightness but a painful feeling that I could no longer bear.
“A dream is a wish your heart makes (mobile ringtone ” my phone rings and I see Damar calling me, then I pick it up.
“Hallo” says.
“How are you doing Selena?” damar's voice was clear, he was standing in front of my fence.
My body automatically headed towards her, and hugged Damar very tightly, I cried so hard that my tears drenched her clothes. Damar returned my embrace without saying anything.
“Sorry I said” then released myself from Damar.
“So you want us to go out or chat inside?” ask Damar.
“You only choose, you must know more kan” I said.
“We walk around the complex of your home” Damar holding my hand, and we both walk hand in hand.
“You're funny too if nangis” Damar teases me.
“Apaan ku” said I had started smiling.
“So you already want to think about you in the future how” said Damar who still holds my hand tightly.
“I should how is Dam?” I'm sure that Damar knows more about what to do next, because he knows me better than I do.
“You are back your first love aja” said Damar who looked at me with a smile.
“Ghandi? Ghandikan has no Dam” I said with a slightly sullen face.
“Then talking about love in your brain directly to Ghandi” Damar sounds annoyed.
“So who?” manya curious.
“Writing, you really like to write from small, your mama and of course Ghandi who told me, you know me, and you are a writer since second grade High School and you write one book in one year” said Damar who while showing his big smile.
I was silent for a moment, this fact was the first time I heard, even Kaylapun had not told me.
“Dam” I stand staring at Damar seriously.
“Why?” asked Damar who was also looking at me seriously.
“Why are you all so enigmatic with me, everyone, mom, Kayla, mbok Ros and even you who always hang everything up, I'm tired of you guys always covering up things that I should also know” I cried back.
“I know you are tormented, but you promise me that if you know everything you will receive all that bitterness” Damar hugs me who is still crying.
“I will accept anything, even though it hurts me” I said.
Damar and I walked back to my house, before going to my house Damar stopped in front of a house next to mine.
“This was Ghandi” Damar's house to look at the house seriously.
“Which house are you in?” my many.
“Itu” Damar is heading home right in front of my house.
“Kak” Kayla entered my room, while carrying six books.
“What is this?” manya curious.
“Tadi mas Damar nelfon me, he said brother nangis well? I'm sorry well kak” Kayla hugged me tightly.
“I don't know you don't mean to hide everything from brother, brother knows you are worried about brother, but from today you can't hide anything, promise you brother” said.
“iaa, hmmm so this is my first sister's novel” Kayla showed me the six books.
“White rose?” I asked Kayla when I saw the names of the authors of all these books.
“True, brother pen name Rose white, and who gave that name mas Gandhi?” said Kayla.
“You've read it all?” my many.
“All of them, and all of the characters are the same, namely a princess who dreams of being a fairy who has beautiful wings because she fell in love with the prince of peri” Kayla said.
“No way everything will be” I laughed, Kayla looked at me and nodded her head seriously at me.
I took my phone and started calling Damar to ask him about the novel.
“Ciee” Kayla teases me.
“Hallo” Damar picked up my phone.
“Goodnight in Damar” Kayla that activates my phone speaker mode.
“You Kayla, I thought your brother” Damar laughed.
“I'm the nelfon” I said.
“Why are gini nights nelfon me?” ask Damar curiously.
“I want to do a lot, you have read all my novels ?” manya curious.
“Already, Kayla has given all to you right the novel?” Damar.
“Udah, so you can tell me what this novel is about?” my many.
“You read the novel yourself, but broadly speaking the character of the novel is the same about a princess who dreams of becoming a fairy who has beautiful wings because she fell in love with the fairy prince but in each novel in a different story” Damar.
“Okeh, mas Damar tomorrow only date her brother, now is the time for brother” Kayla to turn off the phone Damar, I narrowed my eyes to see him.
“Why brother? Phone mas Damar again, yuk phone again” Kayla said teasing me.
“Other times if you want to matiin phone wait for the person answer first yah” said I.
“He's sorry” Kayla was singing her lips to look cute in front of me.
“Keep why Only six, if the sister of class 2 SMA already berbitin this, must be more than six right, now I'm already 27 years old, now, it should be that class 2 High School is 17 years old and about 10 books to 11 books yah” I was curious.
“Kan sister one year in a coma, and after waking up for months brother no nothing, busy dating mas Damar” said Kayla tease me.
“Serious sister Kay” said as she glared my eyes at him.
“OK deh, that brother is all his energy from mas Ghandi, even me and mama can not give energy is the same brother, so about 5 years or 6 years ago, he said, I forget exactly when, mas Ghandi moved but still in the same city, I do not know the reason because brother does not know also, mas Ghandi also no story” said Kayla.
“Ghandi's relationship moved the same I was lazy to write another novel what?” my many.
“Aduh brother, so mas Ghandi rarely play here, because he said mas Ghandi all college and work, brother is good right it does not need to go to college anymore, he said, because brother is smart and the end is fast” said Kayla.
“I'm as tied as Ghandi or Ghandi moved because I was too possessive of him well Kay?” I was amazed by my old self, a man who was too rigid and loved only one man even until now I only remember the name Ghandi, even though Damar was also in my life, somehow the figure of Ghandi so that I can love him too much.
“Do not know also dear sister” Kayla stroked my shoulder slowly.
“Kay, so I broke how did Ghandi, yesterday-yesterday you ever told me that before I crash I was with Ghandi broke up?” my many.
“For that incident I didn't really know, so because now I'm Mas Damar's assistant, mas Damar said two weeks later mas Damar and I will help you to remember your brother in a systematic way” said Kayla while smiling broadly at me.
“Why should be two weeks anyway, can tomorrow” said I begged.
“I have two weeks off so there is time to help my sister, but if mas Damar said for two weeks he wants to go to Kalimantan first, want to take care of his parents' oil palm plantation first, he said, she wanted to say sister but sister was crying so well she was afraid sister is getting sad” Kayla smiled teasing me.
“Now, will not be sad, want him one year does not come okay, anyways he just show off his parents' property just like you Kay” I said ketus.
“What matters is rich and the future of my brother who is super lazy will be guaranteed, can rich husband” Kayla laugh to see my red face hear his words.
“You why the hell, Damar is not likely to marry his sister, he is a witness to the love story of his brother and Ghandi, besides he will not be able to fall in love with big brother” I said confidently.
“Kak, Mas Ghandi and Mas Damar are just as handsome, but for sure for my brother only mas Damar, if mas Ghandikan parts of the past” Kayla looks at me seriously.
Kayla's words were right, all this time I was looking for a mass that even her figure would not meet again now, even though I only wanted to know her even if it was a day.
