2 Meters per Second
My heart is like rain
“This is your stock, Aam.”
At the same time, the food for my morning meal was ready. I quickly put the food in my bag.
Before further story, the family members who were at home were only me and my mother, then my sister was now in the hospital. And dad, he died when I was a kid.
His photos are still neatly displayed without dust in the corner of the family room, lined up neatly with other photos, they are the most I love.
And as usual when it comes to provisions for my sister Lia, mom has made them stocked with the same side dish as me. Well, every morning before the mother goes to work, the mother always visits the sister while bringing provisions for her, hopefully the sister eats a lot and quickly heals, aminnn…
Right, before eating I go to the sink near the dining table, because before eating must wash hands first to avoid disease.
I returned to the dining table circling the other side of the table, then sat back down sweetly, and I casually began to eat together.
At the exact time of breakfast with my mother, I saw a beautiful winged animal from the other corner of this table.he flew there and here, and there, like he had no other purpose but to be there every time he flew.
“Heee... There are butterflies yes, it looks like there will be guests nih.”
She spoke with a happy face. While lifting the spoon full of rice, I thought about what mom was saying now.
“There are butterflies means later this house will have guests? Is that a fact or just a myth, huh?”
I thought about it while eating, and I didn't feel like my nose was up. When I finished, I helped my mother to clean and tidy this dining table, wash dishes and wipe the dining table, so it was neat.
When I finished, I greeted my mother and kissed her hand.
“Mother I'm leaving first, huh?”
I thought for a moment, there seemed to be a word, from a word that was not so understanding and unclear that came out of my mother's mouth.
“Iya... Uh, turn...? Where...?”
With a short pause then change my tone to a little limp. After finishing thinking and already knew about the words, then I quickly rushed to go to school by passing the front door of the house.
Once on the porch of the house I had time to check whether it would rain today or not, with the direction of the corner of my head directly looking up at the sky. I narrowed my eyes and just what I was thinking about right now, because it didn't escape the rainy season.
“Today it looks like it will rain.”
The sky from the west was already gray, it was marked that the area I wanted to go to the school would rain.
“Payung…! The umbrella…! I have to take it first.”
I went back into the house again and as fast as lightning I immediately took the umbrella from the shelf to the right corner of the entrance of the house.
“Yos..Available umbrella before rain comes.”.
I walked alone to the school with relaxed footsteps, four weeks from now there will be a final semester exam.
Using the high school uniform like this neatly from top to bottom, my hair was quite disheveled, as I walked towards my school carrying an umbrella in my right hand, reminding myself that the school is really about to start. And at the same time, I looked at my watch, sixty-fifth hour.
Raising my head and looking up at the sky, now that was so nearly dark it was in stark contrast to my mood.
