Beautiful Memories...
Ep. 03
The clock is at 6pm. Thira and Jenna are ready to go home."Thira, your knee still hurts? Does your wound need to be treated? jenna asked while looking at Thira's knee that was still red with a small scratch mark.
"Gapapa Na, this wound is nothing" Thira replied with a chuckle.
They walked towards the exit and parted right in front of the bus stop. Because their bus destination is different.
Arriving at Thira's house immediately cleansed her body. He was so tired but still happy because he had gotten a job that could be said with a decent salary.
"Drrrttt.." Thira's phone vibrated she immediately replied after seeing the nickname on the screen. "Halo Bu, Thira kangen" he whined. Although Thira who wants to work in the city but still the feeling of longing for his family can never be lost.
"You eat boy?" ask Thira's mother.
"Not yet Mom, Thira just came home from work soon Thira cook" while chuckling to see her sister who continued to approach the mobile screen and block her mother.
"Adel.do not be pulled dear. I'm talking to your sister again" Thira's mother tried to keep the flat object out of her sister's hand.
"Adel also wants to see Thira Bu. Adel kangen.." with a sad face he kept trying to reach his mother's position.
The flat object was placed by Thira's mother on the table so that the two of them could look at Thira's face. "What do you want to cook, son? don't cook instant noodles anymore." tegura Ibu Thira.
"Ga Ma'am, I want to cook fried rice.hehehe" just that simple food he thought because he was tired if he had to cook with a lot of food.
"What was the school today? Is there any more trouble?" Thira is always worried about the behavior of her little sister who often fights at school because of her tombo attitude that likes to defend her friends if someone bullies at school. She was in 3rd grade SD.
"Aman brother Adel uda is fighting again. All uda are afraid of Adel" Adek said proudly.
"You don't make it hard for me Del, I'm afraid that I have to go back to school because you fight" Adel just nodded slowly.
"Where's Merry's sister, Mom? how does it look?" tanya Thira because they usually talk to the four of them when Mom calls her.
"He's out with Bimo again, what's your first day, son? is it okay?"
"Okay, ma'am, the company I work for is really good, ma'am, big. Thira uda dapet temen also ma'am, fine people there." for a moment he remembered the incident when he was hit by a man to fall. But he quickly got rid of bad memories on his first day so his mother wouldn't worry.
"Yes uda kiddo you do not forget to eat yes, do not like to stay up late so you are late to wake up. Do not often eat instant noodles, take care of your health, do not forget to contact Mom if there is anything, son..." so much advice that Thira's mother conveyed she just nodded and kept smiling looking at her mother. It was this nagging thing that made him miss all this time.
"Don't forget to go home with souvenirs. Adel wants a large toyrrrrr once right older brother promise first salary will buyin adel toys" Adel's whine reminded his brother's promise when he was about to leave the house.
"Yes bawelll. Is it a toy, isn't it sister? thira replied while teasing her sister.
"Yes Uda Bu, Thira wants to cook first. Mother don't forget to take care of your health" Thira ended the call after they waved goodbye. Thira immediately went into the kitchen and started cooking fried rice for her dinner.
The night grew late Thira was already feeling tired with her first day. "Tomorrow may be better than today" muttered Thira as she laid her body on the bed and began to fall asleep.
*****
This morning Thira did not wake up as bad as yesterday. He got up at 5am and cooked some food for his breakfast. Because of his own life he was used to doing all the housework.
"Tok" Thira heard the door of her house being knocked and immediately opened the door to see who had come to visit her early in the morning.
"Ra gw laper, you cook ga?" Erdi walked straight into the dining table without excuse.
"Lu kebiasan Di, if I cook would know" replied Thira with annoyance while exhaling rough breath.
Erdi is Thira's first friend and neighbor in town. They meet for the first time when Thira is confused looking for a rented address she had prepared before she left for the city. The contract that Thira placed was owned by one of her mother's friends, so the price given was cheaper compared to other contracts. Thira's contract is not big but for him who lives alone according to him is quite comfortable.
"Tau dunk, the alarm in my stomach that sounds kl you cook" Erdi replied as he bribed food into his mouth. And they had breakfast together.
The clock is showing at 7 am. It was time for Thira to head to the stop, she remembered the reprimand on her first day to arrive at the office early.
"In the hunt I have to make it. You ain't work?" thira asked as she tidied up her clothes and headed for the door.
"Just do it but I'm in the afternoon. You want anterin?" answered Erdi casually.
"Today I'm not late. Napa sech ga yesterday you came here so I was not late on the first day" said Thira while the road to the stop followed by Erdi.
"Kan gw ma bokap to Oma gw's house. Kok Lu forgot sech, old man Lu bertar again expired dach" ledek Erdi while giggling.
"Damn it.." Erdi's right-footed kick made him grimace a little.
Seeing the bus that Thira was waiting for had arrived he immediately ran and got into the bus before Erdi returned his mischief.
Inside the bus Thira sat and saw Erdi still holding his leg. When Erdi looked at him Thira immediately stuck out a tongue mocking Erdi "Weekk" he laughed in satisfaction.
Buspun drove and left Erdi alone. He continued to look until the bus carrying Thira disappeared from his sight.
