That morning the sky looked so bright, unlike yesterday. There are no dark clouds in the way. Even so, the ground in that place still looks wet and leaves a lot of puddles in each of the roads it passes.
Along the way Galuh meticulously observed every building of the houses that passed by him, smiling faintly at the busyness of the mothers who hung clothes on the tarp held in front of their home page. Not to mention the nylon rope that is stretched on the poles of the house for the same.
Arriving in front of an alley mouth that is right at the turn of the main road, the taxi that drove Galuh stopped. The sound of small birds flying low over the long wooden portal, crowded with each other unpretentious to welcome his arrival. A sight he rarely met while in the city.
“Why don't you come in, neng? Let me take you, pity if you have to go far.” The taxi driver lowered his face looking at the portal that was in front of him.
An elongated wooden portal that seemed to be deliberately installed was low and only five meters away from the edge of the highway. Become a marker so that large cars do not carelessly enter the area.
“Gapapa, Sir. Let's just get down here, it's close to his house. About fifty meters only,” reject Galuh smooth, he then got off the taxi while dragging his suitcase towards his home.
Galuh dropped his suitcase on the front porch of his house which is still seen standing firm, then stared unblinkingly at the old building that has many stairs and under the house. A bright light blinding the eyes came from the living room of his house whose gaping roof was open.
“Aargh!” Galuh suddenly felt his chest filled with tightness, even more so when looking around him.
The strong wind not only destroyed the roof of his house, but also the surrounding buildings. The warehouse next to the house that has switched functions to a small shop where mama sells food did not escape being a victim, also destroyed by a collapsed rambutan tree.
My palace house, it looks like those two words are not currently applicable to his house. The palace which bears witness to the memories of childhood up to his teenage years must immediately get an improvement.
The voice of a man singing a few verses of Ronan Keating's hit song, reverberated inside the house. Galuh was stunned for a long time, because the song was her favorite song and the man sang it very beautifully.
Sometimes late at night, I lie awake and watch her sleeping. She’s lost in peaceful dreams, so I turn out the light and lay there in the dark. And the thought crosses my mind, if I never wake in the morning. Would she ever double the way I feel, about her in my heart.
Sometimes late at night, I wake up and look at myself asleep. He was lulled in his peaceful dream, so I extinguished the lamp and fell silent in the dark. And it came to my mind, if I never woke up tomorrow morning. Will he doubt my feelings about her in my heart.
If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I loved her. Did I try in every way to show her every day, that she’s my only one. And if my time on earth were through, and she must face this world without me. Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last.
If there is never a tomorrow, he will know how much I love him. Have I tried all the ways to show him every day that he is the only one. And if my time in this world has run out, and he must face this world without Me. Whether the love I gave her in the past, will continue to be enough until the end.
“Assalamualaikum, hello, sampurasun, kulonuwun ..” call Galuh while treading carefully, holding on to a nearby staircase.
“Halo, loha, hola ... who's in there?” call Galuh again.
Krieet! Galuh slowly pushed the door in front of him, Galuh hoped that the person inside was not a stranger to him. His eyes scanned his surroundings, then gasped as he looked at the scene before him.
“Who Are You? What have you done in my house, dare to touch my belongings!” galuh was furious, staring at the man who had just come out from inside his room and was now standing opposite to him.
The man was in a chest, carrying a large plastic basket filled with Galuh's personal belongings. Smiling obliquely and staring Galuh with eyes full of probing.
“If I didn't guess wrong, you must be Galuh. A hotshot girl who likes to mess up our plans to prank teachers in the classroom.” The man cueknya, put a plastic basket in his hand on the floor and then snatched his black shirt dangled on the living room chair and wear it in front of Galuh.
This time replace Galuh who frowned, trying to remember who the man in front of him was. A friend who often gets punished in school for prankering their teacher when they want to sit teaching in class is only Ivan songong and Narendra.
“You Rendra the ..”
“That's right, a thousand for you Miss.” Rendra immediately took out a piece of money thousands from his pants pocket. “If the second guess is successfully answered correctly, there will be a big reward waiting for.” Rendra blinked one eye in a witty style.
“Ish!” Galuh rolled his eyeballs, then shook his hands in front of Rendra and passed away while carrying a basket containing his belongings.
“Not that I'd be presumptuous to take without your permission, but that's all on the orders of your uncle and mama. And he just left an hour before you came,” tell Rendra to Galuh.
Pork!
Galuh almost dislodged his heart when he heard a wooden board on the kitchen floor of his house was broken due to a cat running into his house.
Brak, krakk!
There was a loud sound of broken wooden planks, but this time the sound came from the front of the house. Galuh turned his face, and that second also immediately gawked because on the doorstep of his house was standing the handsome man he knew coming with his mother.
