Call Me Rain
Brother and Sister

The night got late when the rain outside fell rapidly . make anyone feel at home six themselves under the blanket because the air is so piercing.

But not for Alula, she woke up from her sleep, because her throat was dry.When the water in the glass above the nightstand was empty.

With forced Alula out of her room, she stood in front of the door while circulating her gaze.The atmosphere of the house is so quiet.Yes clear, maybe at this time all the residents of the house are asleep. he shuddered slightly as he passed through the darkened room, only a few dimly colored lights were lit.

Alula took a deep breath then hurriedly walked towards the kitchen, her steps were immediately fixed on a glass teapot filled with drinking water.she immediately poured water into a glass, and drank it at a glance. after her thirst was gone, she filled her glass again to take it into the room. After successfully filling the glass, Alula immediately turned around.but she was surprised when suddenly the light turned on by itself.

"Why so?" Alula was aghast when someone was suddenly in front of her.

Pyarrr...

The sound of the glass in Alula's hand that had now been shattered hit the floor. nervously, Alula crouched down and immediately cleared the floor of the broken glass.

"Udah let the cave spell, you diem just cornered !" Mirza squatted down in place of Alula who was cleaning the floor from glass fragments.

Alula gulps her saliva "eum. Let me just Brother !" she was really surprised by Mirza's sudden presence.

"Udah spelled out in their hands, you hit Lu's hands !" annoyed.

With Alula forced to stand up, he noticed Mirza who painstakingly cleaned the glass fragments.Unconsciously the two corners of her lips were interested in adorning her surprised face.

"Udah is done" Mirza said as she stood up and walked to a dumpster not far from where she was standing.

"Why not sleep?" Ask when he comes back.

"I'm thirsty" said Alula with her head lowered.

"Sir Emir why hasn't he slept?" he asked, looking up his head, making the two's gazes meet for a split second, but Alula hurriedly lowered her head again.

"Gue laper" he replied. The cold night atmosphere accompanied by heavy rain outside made Mirza's stomach feel empty.

"eum.. what would you eat? bi.. let me make it." he hesitated a little.

"What's wrong?" ask Mirza. Alula nodded in response.

"Mie I can suah deh." said Mirza after Alula assented.

Alula walks towards the kitcen set. He opened a closet containing ready-to-eat food stock.he was a little confused, because there are many stored instant noodles with various flavors. Mama Indri deliberately keeps a lot of ready-to-eat food stock just in case anyone suddenly feels hungry at night.

"What taste do you want? soto, curry, meatballs, "he mentions all the flavors that are there except 'flavors that ever exist'.

"What is important is full." replied Mirza while sitting on the chair there.

Alula prepared a pot to boil water, then she opened the refrigerator to pick up vegetables.and apparently there was only mustard there.

After the water boils, Alula breaks one egg and inserts it first.

"Don't be too hard !" mirza exclaimed as Alula was about to put the noodles into the pot. Alula just nodded, the last time she put the vegetables she had cut into the pot.

"The season first, what was the noodle that was poured ?"alula asked with a hand carrying scissors and noodle seasoning.

"Did you do it?" Mirza asked back.

But Alula did not listen, because she was busy pouring seasoning into the bowl.followed by the ripe noodles in the pot. And , noodle soup with egg and vegetable toppings has now been presented in front of Mirza.

"Ko' is just one?" he said before eating noodle soup that is still reflecting the smoke.

"Do not eat?" tanyanya.

"I'm not a laper" Alula replied as she shook her head.

"Where are you? Here ,menin I eat !" when I saw Alula leaving. Alula sat in front of Mirza while playing the glass she had changed.

"Emang different yes taste, if cooked noodles poured seasoning first or the noodles first?" Mirza repeated the question that had not been answered by Alula.

Alula shook her head "I don't know, just ever shunned aja. there is a nuangin spice first keep his noodles.there is also a noodle used to keep the spice." he said.

"Even though the same taste is like that. like eating porridge. some are stirred, some are not. strange right?" ask Mirza without stopping her eating.

"Maybe.but if it's porridge, I don't like to be stirred. kayaaaa.." but his words stopped because Mirza interrupted him.

Alula lowered her "Sorry" she held back her smile.

"Lu why the hell if I talk to you the same I keep bowing ? you scared of me?" the question Mirza wanted to ask since the first time she met Alula.

Alula looked up to make their eyes meet again, then she looked down again nervous.

"didn't I have a face like that? Are you afraid of me?" Mirza looked at Alula who was silent.

Afraid? I don't know, obviously I can't stare at his face for long.

"Lu still think the same thing happened last night?" a question back Mirza throws.but Alula remained unmoved.

Silent..

There was no sound, only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks was heard, until Mirza finally finished her food.she stared intently at Alula who was still bowing her head.

"You don't have to be afraid anymore, there I will take care of you" he said after spending a portion of noodle soup.

Alula looked up again, her forehead frowning at what Mirza said.

"Gue know you're still traumatized by that night? That's why you keep talking to people."

Yes, Alula confirmed it, but with Mirza ? I don't know why his feelings are different.

"From now on you think of me as your brother !" Again Alula's forehead frowned inexplicably.

"And now, you call me brother!" yells.

"Where is that rough brother." murmured Alula faintly in Mirza's ear.

"what?"

"eh, eumm. hgga." the rebuttal.

"But can't say it don't need me-lu-lu, I'm like talking to thugs" said Alula a little hesitant.

Mirza smiled at him, the first smile aimed at Alula. made Alula swallow her saliva because Mirza's handsome face increased many times with dimples arising there.

Mirza tidied up her used bowl of food,

"Okay.so, from now on you, I mean uh I. elaah ribet very ni mouth." - annoyed grunt.

"So from now on, you're my sister?" Mirza held out her hand.

Alula smilingly welcomes Mirza's hand, which Mirza then forcibly attaches to Alula's forehead.

"Same salim Brother !" he cried as he passed towards the sink with an empty bowl in his hand.

"Let me clean." Alula followed Mirza to the sink.

"Udah you sleep there !"

"Udah malem, you just sleep !" ralatnya. make Alula sculpt in his place.true, he did not misheard, Mirza spoke softly to him.

"It's dumb, it's sleeping there !" unknowingly Mirza ruffled Alula's hair, leaving her aghast from her daydream, she smiled awkwardly before leaving Mirza who was washing her bowl.

It's true what Mama said about Mirza, he was a kind, caring and loving man, a deep loss and guilt that he had for years, he said, making him a person who is cold and indifferent to women.Maybe after the presence of Alula as a substitute for Inara, will make Mirza back to what she used to be.

Similarly, the presence of Mirza who helped him many times.I don't know why he felt comfortable being near him.Maybe only Mirza can make him dare to face his trauma.
