A Piece of the Past In White Grey
Chapter 5

It turns out that the moment to eat together at this time is as a farewell back with Gara. I didn't expect that Gara would be back so soon. We all drove home in our own vehicles that took us to the restaurant earlier. There was no dinner at home because we were all full. I want to sleep to rest my body. But, Gara instead asked me to accompany him to stay up late before tomorrow afternoon he left.

“Gar, I'm so sleepy. Tomorrow morning we have half a day to talk. I will also send you to the airport.” I'm trying to bargain. My eyes are too heavy for me to hold again.

“No rejection for his sister huh? Still have to obey. Let's make black coffee for us. And, Aunty!” I turned to the aunt who was walking towards us at the moment when Gara called out to her.

Where I saw he was down ready to take Gara's orders.

“Iya, Sir?” sahut Aunty

“Please ask me to make a snack version of aunt. I miss eating auntie's cooking.” My eyes were perfectly rounded hearing the words that seemed to be crunching it.

He really uses his face to enjoy everything he wants to do. Maybe Papi Raga used to be like that. Until it can bind the heart of Mami Tasha at once mamahku as well. I shook my head trying to throw away the bad thoughts that suddenly entered my head again.

The flickering star now accompanied the two of us sitting on a swing around the pool next to the house. From the other direction I saw Mami and Papi had shaken to look at us.

“Gar, we will be angry with Mami and Papi Loh staying up,” I said.

Even though they're all good, I still feel bad if I make a mistake.

Mami and Papi are such good people. However, I must still know my position as a child who is only entrusted by mamah.

“They've known this since noon. Already, now focus on my messages before leaving.” said Gara. My forehead cringed at the words from Gara.

The messages? What's it going for as long as? As soon as my mind asks. Immediately I pulled out an ear wider than mine. Our age is different, but not our posture. Because it's so much bigger than me.

“You have-there's just a word about it. Try thinking. Can't talk like that.” said I and Gara just clucked annoyed.

“If you can't date first. Wait for me to finish college and come back here. Okay?” The words he uttered successfully made me open my mouth in disbelief. This time I thought Gara was joking.

He looked at me inside. “Gar, what the hell? For now, I don't think about going out anymore. But not possible that long as well dong? You are still a few years of college there. And remember. Not just for s1 but up to s2. How old would I marry if his courtship was delayed for that long?” My face changed from cheerful to upset.

Brother but why so beat Papi who as a father in taking care of me.

“I'll take care of you, Agatha. You want the same thing to happen again? You are the target of many men out there. Already do not argue deh.” said Gara firmly.

I just kept quiet, the goodbyes with my sister tonight I was broken with debate. I don't want to. Gara's departure often makes me very lonely in this house.

Mami who is always busy with all the pampering Papi makes me not get much time to tell stories.

Although Papi was my foster father who used to be quite close to me when I was brought to this house, but still I felt so awkward. Ever since I was an adult, I felt that there was a distance between me and Papi. Don't know why? The obvious answer in terms of my thinking is of course because I am not a child of them.

“Malah silent? Can you hear my words? Out there men if it's crazy same woman can lose sanity. Remember, Agatha. It took me a lot of time to get here. Who can protect you?” Back to sound.

“And there's Papi, Gar. What the hell as if you exceeded the affection of Papi for me.” I interrupted with clucking lips.

Because just breathing. The night was getting late and the atmosphere began to differ and I sometimes laughed to hear Gara who again read messages from my female friends.

A lot of fighting that even makes Gara disgusted at this time. He could not figure out how the women could be as brave as it was to bomb him.

“Kan Pretty Gar for changing dates. My friends are all beautiful. No harm in going first? Why do you keep single? Look, how many times have I changed girlfriends?” sahutku again.

“But no one is right?” My long speech immediately got a cut from Gara who was really on target.

My lips are still unable to answer. Although short but what Gara said is true.

“I want to have a wife who is more beautiful than you and like Mami. If I have found it, then I will marry him directly.” said Gara.

The hand that pushed a cup of coffee into my mouth successfully made me spout all those drinks out of my mouth.

My face was wet even to the smooth cheeks of my sister.

“Hahaha sorry. I'm sorry, my sister. Sorry, this is really not intentional. After you said it was very dramatic anyway.” A little bit of guilt it felt like I saw Gara pick up a tissue and wipe her face.

“Dramatic what the hell? Is right indeed. Why dating a lot, change if once met and sure can directly make marriage? Am I you?”

The conversation continued until we fell asleep on the sofa bed by the pool. A place we often used for childhood camping. And this makes the habit of papi when it once again appeared. That is, closing the roof over the pool with a layer that is not transparent. And the blanket warmed my body. Maybe with Gara too.

Although Papi is very indifferent, but I know that his heart is so big to love us.

Time passed by and we were all at the airport. Of course with Grandpa and Grandma also who do not want to miss dropping off their favorite grandchildren.

Gara is the luckiest grandchild and child to have a very complete family. While Grandpa and Grandma from Papi Raga were abroad for a vacation.

“Remember, Brother. Take care and don't date. I'm going to focus on college. If anything else happens I will stop college and move to Indonesia.” said Gara.

“How to, can't talk like that, son.” Mami Tasha commemorates my sister.

I just nodded without wanting to prolong the problem. We hugged very tightly. My little sister is now growing up and is going to study. Sad and happy as I felt. If I were smart and brave maybe I could follow in his footsteps. Honey, luck is not on my side anymore.
