Whatever
09 SPECIAL GUESTS
“Give your best effort to see your family's smile”.
The atmosphere of the afternoon was cool, the sun was shining quite hot. The air is so refreshing. The sun is not too high, Via just got home.
Today Via has been allowed to go home, but he has not been able to do much activity. In order not to be so exhausted, Alan bought a wheelchair for Via. For the next week maybe the wheelchair will be useful, help Via in activities.
“Bang, Via can walk alone. Why buy a wheelchair?” Via is an active child, so maybe he will feel less comfortable and free if using a wheelchair.
“Via has not healed properly, this is just you are still looking pale. So if later adek going anywhere using this wheelchair first, yes.” Obviously Alan while pushing the wheelchair into the house.
“But, later if Via starts to enter school, I want to use a wheelchair. Via shy, bang.” Reply Via.
“Via, will enter school next month. This wheelchair is most for the next week only, until adek already enakan.” Obviously Alan.
“OK deh.” Via nodded understand.
It has been five days since they left home, since Via entered the hospital they only occasionally return home to take needs.
The atmosphere of the house is not so messy, it's just that some dry leaves are scattered to pollute the front yard.
It's noon. Alan had just finished feeding Via a meal, he had to take medicine immediately. While Nia was busy cleaning the front yard that was already filled with dried leaves.
After finishing taking the medicine Via asked Alan to turn on the television, then Alan left Via in the living room to help his mother clean up the house including her own room.
On Tuesday she was supposed to go to college, but she hasn't been able to leave her sister and mother. Actually Nia had told Alan to go to college, just that Alan had not had the heart to leave Via, his sister. Even if Alan went to college, he would definitely keep thinking about Via.
After he finished cleaning his room, he grabbed a rag and headed for the kitchen sprightly. Alan cleaned inch by inch the kitchen painstakingly.
Suddenly from his position, he heard a bustling voice in front. Alan stopped his activities then went ahead to make sure.
“Kak Alan.” A small man scatters his body into Alan's body after a small run. That surprised Alan a little.
“Alwi,” It is Alwi, Indra's youngest child.
It turned out that the crowd that Alan heard from the kitchen was Alwi's shout. He came with his Father and Mother, Indra and Zula. Indra is Sugeng's younger brother, Alan's father.
Nia invited the family of her husband's sister to enter the house. Apparently, Nia has also left the rest of her work in the front yard to welcome Indra and her family.
After entering the middle room, Via was busy watching his favorite series. He also looks very happy the arrival of Indra especially Alwi.
“Via how are you?” Ask Inrda.
“Udah improved ko, Om.” Reply Via who is playing with Alwi.
“Dek, the gift is in love with Mba Via.” Zula told his youngest child. Then Indra took out a parcel. Via looked happy when he opened the parcel.
“Via likes Om, Aunt. Thank you well,” Say Via after seeing the Bag and some other school equipment.
Then Nia came from the kitchen and brought drinks for her guest. He looked happy to see Via smiling.
“Via a pinter school yes.” Zula. Via just smiled.
“Kalo is a doll from whom, ko aunty just saw?” added Zula pointed at the panda doll given by Mira.
“That's from Kak Mira, Bang's girlfriend Alan.” Answer Via with a smile.
“Not ko, Om. He's the guy who hit Via.” Said Alan.
“Oh, so who hit Via your girlfriend?” Added Indra. Alan made it wrong.
“Not, Om.” Reply Alan, again. Indra and Zula laughed. Nia also looked happy to see that warm moment.
“Alwi also said next month has started to enter school, aunt?” It was from Alan, trying to divert the conversation.
“Iya, just before here all buy school equipment for Alwi also.” Answer Zula. Alan nodded in understanding.
“If Alin how are you, Ndra?” Nia asked her husband's sister.
“He was busy with his college assignments, mba. But he also learned to write novels, he said.” Clearly Indra, telling his eldest son that.
“Oh. What semester is it?” Added Nia.
“He's new semester five, mba.” Indra.
“Yesterday too, he asked about Alan.” Added Indra.
“About me? What's up, Om?” sahut Alan's.
“He wants to ask for correction. Maybe because he knows you're the editor at the company, Om.” Reply Indra with a small smile.
“You'll know for yourself, lan. Alin is shy. If not the same someone who already knows where might want to ask for help.” Tukas Zula with a small smile. Alan and Nia just smiled.
The atmosphere is so warm. The sun was still very hot, there was no sign of rain. Via feels good every time Alwi comes home. He felt like he had a little sister.
By afternoon. The sky around Alan's house turned a deep gray color. The sky looked gloomy, not long after that a speck of rain that was so thin fell slowly.
“Lan. You can enter the office tomorrow, right?” indra.
“From yesterday Mba also told to leave, maybe Om Indra nyariin, but he did not want.” Tukas Nia's. Alan was just scratching his head which was not really itchy.
“It's okay, mba. What matters is the news. Anyway, maybe Alan still can't leave Via.” Alan only smiled hearing that, feeling that someone was defending him.
“Iya, Om. Alan's in the office tomorrow. But as always, Alan went to college.” Said Alan.
“Ya it's okay. But, since you didn't enter for five days, so you'll get additional tasks. You are also chasing deadlines. It's okay, right?” indra.
“Siap, Om. It's okay.” Firm Alan.
Seeing that the weather outside was already very dark, Indra and Zula decided to go home. They are worried that there will be heavy rain. Although they use cars, but still driving in bad weather will be worrying, not to mention they bring small children. Alwi is afraid of bad weather, especially in lightning.
Nia, Via, and Alan take off their guests. Although Sugeng does not exist, Indra is very understanding of the family situation of his biological brother. He also feels a responsibility to keep them happy.
After dropping off his guest, Alan went back inside. He grabbed his phone. When he got home, he did not check his phone.
He seems busy helping his mother clean the house, then the arrival of a guest, Indra. There were 9 missed calls, it was not from Nadia, but from Dito.
He tried to call Dito back. But not lifted. Alan tried it a few times, but it still wasn't lifted. He threw his phone without direction, then continued his house cleaning activities.
