A Piece of the Past In White Grey
Grief for Gara

Instantly all the daydreams in the morning yard were scattered by the sound of a cramped Gara. The boy asked to be removed from Raga's sling.

"Uncle lower Gara. Brother let's go." take him running to Tasha past the grandfather and grandmother.

However, Tasha stopped the child from running. "Gara, wait a minute. It's her hair on the comb first, baby."

It seems clear because it looks agitated when the mother combed her hair. The boy wanted to run up to his grandfather and grandmother to say goodbye. He also had difficulty pulling Tasha's hand to come out of the house. While in front there Raga was shaking hands with both Tasha's parents.

For the first time his hand was received by the Word. The atmosphere looks so awkward. Just a sound even Raga is powerless. He felt that he had often received rejection from the man in front of him. Until unexpectedly if the voice that is very much awaited suddenly sounded again.

"Be careful with the car. Take care of Tasha and Gara." The words from the Word made Indri who stood beside him even gawked in disbelief.

There is a sense of haru that Raga feels right now. It felt like he was hugging the old man in front of him at this moment. However, seeing that there are Tasha, Gara, and others of course Raga still has to take care of his wife.

"Good, Sir. I will take good care of them. Excuse me first." said Raga looks very polite.

"Father, Mamah, we go first." said Tasha followed by Gara who kissed her back.

The Word was still silent to watch them all go. The Raga car has disappeared. Indri who was awakened from his daydream finally smiled with relief. He took her husband's hand and led him into the car.

"Well be careful, huh? Come to the office later, bring lunch. Okay the spirit of his work." said Indri kissed the back of the husband's hand.

Long story short, Raga's luxury car is now parked neatly in the school yard owned by the child. And it's true what Gara said. Now all his friends are so enthusiastic to see the arrival of their friends who get out of the car.

"His father is handsome."

Various allegations are heard clearly in the ears of Gara and his parents. Gone was the joy of Gara at that moment. He lowered his head without even stepping into class.

Tasha and Raga now understand what their son has been feeling all along. The two stared at each other in silence until Raga finally crouched down in front of the child.

"Hey papi's son why the moody? Let's get the school spirit. Mami and Papi will pick Gara up?" hearing Raga's words that sounded out loud from Gara's face again he lifted up.

The students at school whispered back. And that makes Tasha also follow the drama Raga.

"Children Mami and papi should be uplifting. Gara should be proud to have Mami and papi who are both successful people. Even Gara wants anything we can give. Later in the day we will go for a walk to make up for our less time so far. Because agreed?"

Without resisting, Gara immediately nodded her head with a cheerful face. He was looking forward to the moment to walk together.

"Dada Mami, papi. Because I love you guys." In his arms were Tasha and Raga on his left and right. The boy was really happy today to get a plea from Tasha and Raga.

Until finally they parted with Gara who walked arrogantly. He raised the face that had been looking down all this time. Gara even seemed indifferent to see his friend who talked about the good looks and beauty of his parents.

Although in my heart Gara is currently thinking hard.

"Am I not wrong? Mamah and Papah are the Firman and the Indri mama. I sinned, God? Why would Tasha's sister call me Mami? I'm sad, God. I want to have a real mommy and papi like that." In her class Gara was so moody back.

He realized how much he could show his friend, but it was all fake. For a moment Gara looked down to shed tears and rubbed it rough.
