It felt like his eyes had just closed, now he was awake when he heard the voice he was longing to call his name.
"Lula" a soft and deep voice called out to her.
Alula woke up, her eyes that felt sore immediately caught the shadow of someone near the door.
"Mother.." she said. The woman he called Mother, now smiled gently at him. Mother's face looked pure white.
"Mother, Iula kangen mother." her eyes blurred, followed by a clear liquid that began to run along the river. But Mother remained silent in her place.It was very desirable Alula ran to hug her mother.but her body felt very heavy, even to get out of bed.
He was still trying to move on when someone with the exact same face seemed to appear from behind Mom's back.
"Dwi. "his tears are now coming out more profusely. Dwi smiled at him, Dwi's hands tightly holding Mother's hands.and vice versa, Mother stroked Dwi's hands gently.they looked at each other and then smiled.
"Lula dear, I'm glad Lula's been with me." Said Mother while holding Dwi's body in her arms.
"Lula be a good boy, take care of me ! Lula don't be afraid anymore. There's Dad and the good guys around Lula." Mom is constantly developing her smile. Mom and Dwi turned around to look at him.
"Mother, Lula dear mother.don't go ma'am, Dwi don't go "he wants to move, somehow his body feels heavy so he can't step.
Mother and Dwi turned their heads, they smiled before disappearing behind the door.
"MOTHER" he shouted.
Alula was aghast when she woke up from her sleep.she wiped the corner of her slightly watery eyes, then she circulated her gaze sweeping across the room trying to find the figure she missed. until he realized that the presence of Mother and Dwi was just a dream. Alula closed her eyes, she let out a long sigh trying to shake off the tightness in her chest.
...****************...
As usual, every morning Alula had finished eating her breakfast when Mirza came down from her room.Suddenly her memory returned to what Mother had told her last night.
"Lula don't be afraid anymore . There's Dad and the good guys around Lula." with Mom's smile expanding.
Alula glanced at Mama Indri who was in the kitchen with a hand that did not stop moving either middle of making what, she smiled to see Mama who continued to nag at Mbak Sri, but followed by a crisp laugh of both.
Now his gaze turned to Mirza who had just landed her body on a chair while eating her breakfast.he smiled again when he remembered last night Mirza had proclaimed herself as the brother who would take care of her. A brother? well Brother, just that and nothing more.
What does this family mean by good people? Mama Indri with her gentle and motherly nature and Mirza, a cold and quiet figure, but has turned into a loving figure.
Is it now that you've calmed down to see her in the middle of this family? with a father who will always be with him.
Alula let out a long sigh, the corner of her lips suddenly attracted to form a smile.
Not sure how long he had been silent, he jumped in shock when Mirza's voice managed to surprise him.
"Morning don't bengong woy!" he said as he walked past Alula.
"A quick to go !" mirza exclaimed while draping her backpack on her shoulder and then she walked towards the main door.
"Yeah.wait brother." Alula had to walk quickly because Mirza had already left the dining room.
"That's why don't be dumb !" his ears still caught the words of Mirza who had disappeared behind the door.
"Depart first Ma" he said as he grabbed and kissed Mama Indri's hand. Mama just shook her head then smiled at the behavior of Mirza who had started to get close to Alula.
And as always, Alula will rest on Mirza's shoulder before he gets on the bike.
"Eat him, growing it up is not sideways !" mirza exclaimed when Alula had sat perfectly on the bike.
"Where it is, my body doesn't grow sideways either." she argued.
"That's the name you lack growth.up, not even sideways." said Mirza half-literate.
Alula watched her body, is it true that her tiny body lacks growth? thought. Mirza only chuckles behind the rearview mirror, making Alula reflex to hit her back.
Arriving at the school gate, Mirza did not immediately go. she waited for Alula to disappear behind the gate.His smile expands revealing dimples on her cheeks as she remembered a few minutes ago Alula kissed her hand when saying goodbye. makes him reflexively shuffle Alula's hair.
"Learn the real !" before Alula entered the school building.
This morning Alula arrived earlier than Marsha and Mulan, she entered the classroom without paying attention to her other friends, he was surprised to find a rectangular package on his desk.
Alula took the package, her forehead seemed to frown. because she did not feel she had the item. Is there anyone who is wrong table? thought. Alula was about to ask who was keeping it, but stopped when a small fold of paper fell off the object.
With a slight hesitation Alula unfolded the paper, in which it was written "Dimakan ya ! I hope you like it" he turned the paper back, there's no sender's name there. Alula folded and put the letter back on the table. then she grabbed the small rectangular package. From the shape alone can be guessed, it was chocolate.
But just as he opened the wrapping paper, the arrival of Marsha who surprised him suddenly made his hands reflect dropping the chocolate.
"Yes, Sorry La by accident" Marsha said as she stood up after picking up the fallen chocolate bar. "not five minutes yet." he muttered.
"Wahhh, how good are you, this is for me?" he cried with excitement.His eyes seemed to sparkle looking at the chocolate bar in his hand.
"Eh Sa, "Alula wants to prevent Marsha from opening the chocolate, but Marsha has already eaten it.
"Enak this early in the morning breakfast chocolate." Mulan's carefree voice made her aghast. "Share dong." he took the chocolate from Marsha's hand.
"Ouch... " Alula patted her forehead slowly "why are you guys eating anyway?" grunts before landing on a chair.
"Don't food have to be eaten?" a plain question came out of Marsha's mouth. Mulan nodded her head enthusiastically.
Alula gulped her saliva before saying "The problem is, it has people." she lowered her head not daring to look at her two best friends.
"Start, "
"meaning?"
Alula let out a long sigh, "Yeah, that's.I don't know who's got" she said nervously.
"It means how the hell La, was you who held it." said Marsha who did not understand the words of Alula.
"Noah.. " Alula pointed to the fold of paper she had saved earlier. Marsha and Mulan opened and read it.
"Take it ! Hope you like it"
"I like ko' the same chocolate.that's why I eat." Mulan who seems to not understand.
"Oneng." a toyoran landed on Mulan's head. Marsha.
"Somebody send chocolate to you La?" Ask enthusiastically.Marsha now sits himself on his chair.
Alula just shrugged her shoulders then said
"Wrong table times." she said.
"Wahh daebak ! new students have secret fans." Mulan exclaimed with excitement.
"What the hell."
The sound of the bell in was forced to stop their morning chatter, followed by the subject teacher into the classroom.
