A Piece of the Past In White Grey
Candor
“Agatha, you're not coming home? It's already afternoon.” Papah Tegar rebuked me while I was in the kitchen.
It was already afternoon outside. Mami and the others including Mikael have been home since this afternoon.
My meeting with Papah, which was just hours long, didn't feel like making me leave again. A child's longing for his or her biological parents cannot be replaced by anything.
“Later, Pah. After dinner. Agatha cook for Papah first we have dinner together.” My head was rubbed gently by Papah.
Although I was happy, I still felt that there was some distance between us. Meeting after I grew up certainly made me feel still awkward and stiff.
At night, we both sat down to eat the dinner I had prepared. Papah looks excited once tonight. The movement of my hand that wants to get Papah to eat must stop when there is a sound out there.
“Excuse me,” Rush me to leave the seat, after the door opens it turns out that the one who came was Mikael.
“Loh Mikael?” I was surprised why he came back again.
“I brought food for Papah. We eat together, yeah?” Without waiting for my answer, he stepped in.
His swift approach to Papah made me more convinced that our marriage should continue. We had dinner three.
“It was night I went home first, Papah. Tomorrow morning will be here again before going to the office.” my words are delivered by Mikael to the house of Papi.
When I arrived at the house, the atmosphere felt lonely. Mami and Papi seem to be out at night and haven't come home yet. I decided to take a break to the room. Samar the sound of my guitar heard in Gara's room. I chose indifferently not to cause any more trouble if I met him with just the two of you.
Mikael came home after taking me home.
“Mi, Pi, am I okay if breakfast at Papah's house? Later after marriage I will not be able to do that again.” I said sadly.
“Agatha, why have breakfast there? When you come here to eat with us it's more appropriate. Poor him alone there. Definitely lonely.” I don't know what Mami's heart is made of. I was really moved to hear how Mami treated my Papah.
When I realized that it was noon enough, it was not enough to bring Papah to this house.
“Besok-tomorrow, Mi. Thank you well, Mami and Papi have been very good with me and Papah.” I hugged Mami from behind. I don't think I can believe they're just my foster parents. Their love and kindness is so great to me.
At that time I rushed to Papah's house, but there were things that astonished me.
“Mikael's car is here? This just came? For what?” I muttered asking myself. My feet keep stepping in.
Obviously in my ear the voices of Papah and Mikael laughing together. Until the sight again confused me. Papah and Mikael are seen cooking together in the kitchen. They laughed along with their sleeping clothes.
Does that mean Mikael slept here?
“Ehem...” They all stopped laughing when they realized I had arrived.
“Agatha,” Mikael and Papah both mention my name.
“Mik, are you sleeping here? How did you not tell me?” my many.
“Why should I say? Later you think I'm looking for more attention. Poor Papah alone. There is no harm if I sleep in Papah's house? As the main owner of the second room in this house.” I just sighed hearing Mikael's words.
