A Piece of the Past In White Grey
Chapter 24
“Mami,” Me and Gara are both voicelessly greeting the beautiful woman standing in her current sleeping uniform.
“Not finished eating?” My mom asked me. Because Gara has finished eating since. I hurriedly nodded. The fear of Mami knowing it all makes me nervous right now.
Mami and Papi could have alienated me from this house if they knew what was going on between me and Gara. I, who is only the son of another woman, certainly do not have any power in this house.
Maybe Gara just got angry but not an expulsion like I got.
“It's over it's a break. Mami wants to grab a drink for your Papi yah?” I nodded when I saw Mami smiling. It seems like nothing Mami heard from my conversation with Gara just now.
After Mami's departure I hurriedly left the dining table.
“Tomorrow to meet me at the campus park by noon. We have to talk.” I said leaving Gara.
The warmth that we used to feel if the two can no longer be intertwined. Because it destroyed everything. There was only awkwardness every time we met a glance.
I can no longer be as fully indulged in my sister as I used to be. Because now she has grown so mature.
Long story short after the end of the lecture hours I hurriedly left the class.
“tha, where are you going? Not going to the cafeteria first? We want another lecture?” Endah asked me in the follow-up with all eyes looking at me.
I shook my head quickly. “I have important business. You guys go.” Although our friendship has returned to normal by itself, but a warm relationship like before has not been able to recover. It's as if my trust in them still can't give me anymore. I was impressed to put a barrier on all of them.
“Already from earlier.” the answer is short. I ended that conversation too.
“Gar, please understand my position. I'm the son that Papi took for mercy. Don't make me feel guilty for Mommy. Mommy has been so good to me.” Maybe by talking softly to Gara will be able to touch my sister's heart. Hope Gara will understand my situation.
This problem is enough to get here. I don't want to get any bigger to Papi's ears.
“But how do I feel that the more here it gets?” He asked to keep me quiet. Honestly, I myself actually feel a strange feeling that is increasingly difficult for me to suppress.
The look of eyes full of love now I can feel touching the warm recesses of my heart.
“Think of Mami and Papi's feelings. They're gonna be so sick knowing that, Gar. Please stay away for the good of all. If you can't do that, then I'll leave home.” My threat is no joke.
It feels so scary to live alone. I don't know what to do out there if I decide to leave home.
Maybe one by one my best friend's sincerity will be used again to stay away from Gara and keep the feelings of mami and papi.
“OK. If that's what you want. I'll stay away.” Surprised I raised my face to look at him. Unimaginable if Gara would just give up instead of letting me go.
“Stay at home with Mami and Papi, today I will leave again.” My chest felt tight to hear my sister going home to college. He just came a few days ago, now Gara is going home.
Where his departure was caused by a problem between the two of us.
