TO KOREA

Day changes night, night changes morning, day after day goes by with new days.

The weather changed, entering the rainy season. The rain rained from night to morning.

Arend and Zico are getting ready to go to school. They were late, not having time for breakfast at home.

Ayla prepared their supplies to help Sila. Arend came out with Zico down the stairs half-run. Approaching the beloved mamah who was struggling at the dining table packed their supplies.

..."Mah, we're leaving first."...

Zico kissed Ayla and Aryan cheeks sitting down and finished breakfast. Arend shook his parents' hands solemnly.

..."Where's aunty? Are we almost late?"...

Zico asks Ineke where he is. Every day when going to school, Arend and Zico never absent to say goodbye to all family members, including Ineke aunty.

..."Ineke where is Sila?"...

..."I saw him on the bench in Madam's backyard."...

Arend and Zico scurry to Ineke in the back.

..."Aunty, we're leaving.!"...

Ineke was standing daydreamingly looking at the empty bench that became his memory, his body leaning against the wall, his fine hair straight and long moving following the wind in the cold morning.

He immediately woke up from his daydream when he heard Zico yell.

..."You guys ready?"...

..."Yes, we're too late."...

Zico kissed his cheek and Arend shook his hand.

Ineke circulated his gaze to the sky.

..."Still drizzling this, you guys careful huh?"...

..."Ready aunty, Asaalaamu'alaikum!"...

Arend and Zico leave for school between the driver and the two Bodyguards.

Aryan got up from his seat. Moaning mouth. Stepping into the kitchen where Ayla was standing put fresh fruits that had been peeled into the box as a healthy snack for her husband later.

..."I'm leaving my darling.!"...

Aryan grabbed Ayla's waist from behind, then kissed her cheeks and neck. Makes Ayla feel an amused sensation on her body.

..."Mas Aryan's."...

They both laughed giggling.

..."Ddrrekkpk"...

Ineke accidentally hit the chair because he was shocked to see the behavior of Aryan and Ayla. Aryan and Ayla looked back. Stop their actions.

Ineke stood with his face confused.

..."Em, Sorry. I was unintentionally."...

Ineke steps up quickly leaving Ayla and Aryan feeling bad. Ayla and Aryan looked at each other, feeling pity and guilt at the same time.

Aryan passed to the office.

Ineke was in his room. Standing against the window, leaning his body against the wall. Seeing the rain that kept falling soaked the outer courtyard.

Her tears no longer seemed to fall. But heart. Still the same, that pain, that wound. Losing, letting go of the people we love. Which we have planned as the future. And, in fact, GONE.

After knocking on the door of the room ineke got no answer. Ayla dared to come in. He brought Ineke a treat. Ineke hasn't had breakfast.

Ayla saw Ineke who was again daydreaming there.

..."Aunty, breakfast is here. This I have brought healthy and good food for aunty, there is rice, fried fish, sambel, soup, fruit, even chocolate milk. Ha ha ha ha!"...

Ayla tried her best to rebuild Ineke's lost cheer.

Ineke turned to his best friend, and gave him a heavy smile.

..."Thanksmeme it."...

Ayla replied to him with the brightest smile possible.

Ineke received the tray. Then he sat on the bed, began to put the food in a mouthful. But eventually the tears were shed as well.

The chest feels so tight. Ineke cried again because his heart was in pain.

Ayla hugged him, stroked his back. Caressing Ineke's face with a heartfelt look of love.

..."Already, already. He'll be sad to see you like this."...

How do I fix all this? How to cure his wound?

Ineke is not as strong as Ayla. He even said it, once,

...'*When something bad happens, I won't be able to fit you Ayla*.'...

...****************...

Hours of rest at school. Arend and Zico were on the stairs leading to the school grounds. They are eating their breakfast.

..."I'm so hungry, I don't think my brain was going to work. I have to get up early tomorrow."...

Arend was listening to the same Zico sentence almost every day. He even went back to sleep after dawn because the night they spent playing games reduced their sleeping hours.

..."Arend, is aunty not sad anymore? I've never seen him cry. I'm glad he's not sad anymore."...

Arend was silent. He remembers his aunty who keeps daydreaming and likes to be alone. He was sure if his sad and aunty pain was still there. And not reduced.

..."Arend. don't just shut up.!"...

..."Long holiday soon, right? After the exam and welcoming the new year. How about we ask Papah and Mamah to take aunty vacation. To a new place, far away, that could make him laugh again."...

..."A vacation? I agree, we haven't had a vacation together either. The end of my vacation was in the village. I miss that."...

..."Korea."...

..."Korea?"...

..."Ummm eemmm!"...

Arend nodded.

..."Why go to Korea.?"...

..."Aunty is very fond of the country's artists and dramas. We'll find aunty back to her happiness."...

..."Korea?"...

Zico still seemed to think he did not understand, but Arend had a big smile. It was as if a brilliant idea had been present in his head.

...****************...

..."The korean? Why go there Arend? Papah is very busy now. We are on holiday in the country. How about going to Bali?"...

Aryan disagreed with the idea. Arend then nudged Zico who was playing the game with his elbow.

..."Aaaahhh, I'm going to Korea Pah. Point. Mama agrees, right?"...

Zico is now seeking support from his mother.

..."Korea?"...

Ayla seemed to think, she herself did not know what good it was from the country, because she was not a fan of Boy Band or Drakor.

..."Aaaahhh, Mamah, that's the state of the Oppa Oppa.!"...

Arend approached his mother, touched her shoulder and rolled her eyes, with more emphasis on intonation in the word Oppa-Oppa.

Instantly Ayla Ter remembered Ineke time in the village first every night who liked to watch Korean dramas until the cry of bombai.

..."Ooh, oohh yes Aryan, Korean. I really want to go there too?"...

..."Being present? What are you guys doing?"...

..."Three on one, we're going to Korea. Yeaaayy!"...

Ayla, Arend and Zico join hands while turning to jump because they feel happy. Arend could only look at it with a sigh. Holding his head gave a slight massage that suddenly felt dizzy.

...****************...

Ayla was in Ineke's room. He helped Ineke pack things into a suitcase.

..."Why should we go to Korea anyway Ay?"...

Ineke felt strange, suddenly they were all going on vacation to Korea, welcoming the new year there.

..."Eeehhmm? Because the country is beautiful."...

Ayla answered the origin because she did not know why Arend took them on vacation to the country in fact.

..."Aylas. Ayla."...

There was Aryan screaming for the whereabouts of his wife. And finally Aryan reached Ineke's room.

..."What's the matter?"...

..."I can't go with you guys."...
