Call Me Rain
Obviousness

Alula POVs

"Dad. "lirihku.

The place was suddenly quiet.The four people there then turned their heads towards me. There was one young man, one middle-aged woman and two middle-aged men looking at me with an illegible look.

I did not care about the three people there.My eyes were only on Dad. Dad's eyes were round, clearly seen the surprised look of Dad. Daddy's body was pecking at his place. his mouth was a little gaping and I could see his hands shaking signifying his surprise.The look in his eyes turned soft, clearly there was a deep longing there.

Pluck...

The sound of a key falling out of Dad's hand, after he realized I was there.

"Alula." he said softly almost inaudible.His own eyes attracted me to immediately approach him.

I ran, hugged Dad's body, hugged him tightly.it was so tight. as if I didn't want to lose him again. Father returned my embrace no less tightly.as if he was spilling all sorts of longings that have been concentrated for so long.

"Dad. huu... "

I cried, unable to speak.

"Alula darling.. "Father rubbed my back gently, she peeked at the top of my head many times as if she was pouring out her affection.

"Yeah.... "

I roared in Dad's arms. spill all the flavors that have been lodged in the chest.a sense of tightness when mendundung longing to meet. also the pain of being abandoned and losing people I love.Haru and pilu feelings are so passionate.

"Alula, calm down, dear. "

Dad tried to calm me down, even though I felt a droplet of clear liquid on my shoulder. Well, I cried letting go of longing.

"Don't stay in Lula's father, don't stay in Lula's !" I asked, not wanting to let go of my tight hug on Dad.

Dad shook his head "Dad here baby, I'm not leaving anymore." Dad kissed the top of my head gently.

Slowly Dad let go of my embrace and scooped both of my cheeks with his hands as if saying everything was fine. I kissed my face with love. Well, that affection was lost.

"Lula is afraid Dad, don't go! " I hugged Dad again.

I don't know why my tongue is muddled.I can't say anything.I'm just afraid of losing Dad for the second time.

Dad still kept me calm in his arms, no words came out of his mouth. Dad just stroked my back occasionally peaking at the top of my head.

Long time I was in Dad's arms, my body began to weaken, my energy seemed to run out after crying for quite a long time.All of a sudden my gaze blurred.

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

I don't know how long I've been asleep. it feels so weak, no energy. I feel my hand movement is hampered something.Infusion hose? I don't know what happened after I was unconscious. I don't remember anything. Suddenly I was back in my room with an infusion tube in my hand.

I tried to recall what happened, but suddenly my head felt dizzy and one thing I remembered was in Dad's arms.

Daddy's? where's Dad ? I started to panic. I was afraid that what happened earlier was just my hallucination.I circulated my eyes, there was no one here.in this spacious room, I was alone.

"DAD.." I cried, crying hysterically when my father was not there.

I sat tightly hugging my knees and drowned my head between my legs.My body trembled again.then why the shadows of my stepfather can not be separated from my memory.

Before long the sound of the door opening, Dad came in and immediately hugged me.he tried to calm me back.

I miss this hug. a warm hug that is so soothing.if I cry, this hug that always eases my cry. Compared to Mom, I am indeed closest to dad. I often share the sadness when Mom or even Dad himself is more attentive to Dwi my sister.

Compared to mom, I even know I often secretly cry in the room if I feel sad. Well, maybe I'm too worried if Mom sees me crying. Because from childhood Mom always doctrines me to always be strong.Said Mom or Dad, I'm a strong child, I'm an independent child. I was different from Dwi. Even so, still I always felt jealous of Dwi. and Dad always knew if I was sad or jealous.

I lost Dad a few years ago, I was sad. I also felt annoyed, angry and disappointed in Dad who suddenly left.

After my father's departure, my life changed, and I

losing a place for me to share.Every day I waited for time and always hoped that Dad would come to take us back.But until Dwi and Mom left, Dad never came back.

I was still hiccupping my dad while Dad was endlessly stroking my back and my head.

"Lula, don't cry anymore! I'm not leaving anymore." Dad's words managed to calm me down a little.

Slowly I let go of Dad's embrace. Dad looked at me full of days and then wiped my tears. I can see the look in Dad's eyes full of longing.

"Lula, where's Mom? why are you alone?" dad's question now leaves me claustrophobic.

I re-captured Dad's body, trying to get the strength to say everything. But out of my control, I went back to crying hysterically.I recalled my stepfather's treatment of Mom, of Dwi as well as of myself.

My body trembled again, the fear suddenly appeared just like that. whereas in the past, I could always hide it in front of others.but not for now.

"Dad.. Mother, yeah.. " I can't go on with my words. Dad took my body away a little. Looking at my sad face, I clasped my hands tightly.

"Why son, Mother why?" Dad looks riled up, there is a concern from his tone. For some reason, Dad seems to know if everything is not okay.

"Mom, yeah.. Mother's gone. Dwi's gone. All go leave Lula alone. All go dad." I went back to crying . Dad seemed to be frowning his forehead, trying to digest what I was talking about.

"What do you mean, son?"

"Dwi and Mother.they have died Ayaah.. huaa.." My tears broke again. whereas the father was like losing his soul.he was shocked, his eyes blank.

He shook his head "No way. Dwi.. Dira... them?" He then cried and hugged me again.

I-i know. Father must be very hit with this reality.not without reason, some years we separated the cause is due to misunderstanding. I'm sure at this time Dad is very sorry, even he has not had time to apologize and listen to any explanation from Mother, but fate first snatch his lover. so far, we can't get back together in one family.

Dad used to say, if it is destined Dad wants to die first so that Dad never feels the pain of being left behind, but in fact now he lost two people he loves the most. how broken my heart is to hear this truth.

Dad tightened my arms, tried to share the power, if we can get through tomorrow. Well, me and Dad.
