Ai, Love Me

“ma-sorry, I have to install a new spray and blanket so that Emilia can sleep here” Johan said while forcing her body to wake up from her bed.

“I can sleep in your futon later” said Emilia.

“then, I'll wash my hands” Johan said.

“aku will clean it” said Emilia.

“I can myself” say back to Johan.

“don't be stupid” snaps Emilia so carried away by emotion.

“Emilia?” everyone muttered so surprised and spontaneously stared at Emilia.

“you've lied too much. You lied about your village and your disease. We don't even know why you bit your left hand. We feel all this time, we only talk to the shadow of our best friend and like talking to a living doll who plays the role of a Mahesa Johan. What was? Tell me everything, don't be alone. We are your friends and not a pig that should be avoided” said Emilia with high speech notation.

“ppffftt” Nyoman voice held back her laughter.

“don't laugh or break your neckbone” Jehian threatened to Nyoman.

“a pig, ppfftt. Sorry, I can't help it” replied Nyoman.

“not what” replied Johan by lowering his head.

“don't tell me you're okay” snapped Emilia.

“do I have to tell you the reason why my mother killed herself? That's why I really hate to cook, because by cooking I can remember bitter memories along with my mother and my biological grandmother. Do I have to tell you this?. I think it's a very unimportant thing to say” Johan told them all.

“now that you guys have your futons ready, I want to take a quick shower. You rest in my room and don't go anywhere. I still want you to accompany me until later tonight” said Johan as he walked from his bed. So imposing, Johan walked up the stairs and went to the bathroom.

The atmosphere instantly turned so silent, that there was only the sound of Johan's footsteps stepping on the wooden board of the stairs of his house. When Johan was downstairs, Johan walked to the bathroom so that he fought the limp.

However, before that, Johan saw the soup that was open without any cover. Seeing that, Johan took the lid of the pot in the kitchen and then closed the pot.

“when can I meet with mamah, papah, grandpa and grandma again and can eat together again? in a moment, I'm having a birthday. Though I had hoped that we could eat at the same dining table and tell stories and joke there. But somehow, my day is now really ruined?” johan muttered as she shed her tears.

After that, Johan walked to the bathroom and then turned on the water heater. Johan also filled the water in the bathtub using warm water and soaked his body there. There was only the sound of water droplets falling into a puddle of water from the tap water that was not fully closed.

It was really quiet in that bathroom. Johan daydreamed in the bathroom with so long staring in one direction, namely to the composition of the shampoo bottle.

“how did mamah make it?” johan asked when she saw her mother cutting potatoes.

“first, the thing to do is peel the skin of the potatoes” replied the mother while cutting the potatoes.

“I want to try” said little Johan with his innocent voice.

“do not try, later your skin can be injured” said the grandmother who arrived just walked towards the kitchen.

“iya, you are still small, so you still can not cook in the kitchen. The tool is sharp, later your hands can bleed” said the mother with full attention.

“but mah, I want to be able to cook yummy” said Johan while putting on a face melancholy look.

“no bole-“ said the mother stopped because her hand was scratched by a knife.

“mamah? Mommy is okay?” ask Johan.

“teen? What mama said. Mamah who can cook alone can still be injured by a knife, let alone you who are still small. Do not play with knife” said the mother while showing the wound on her finger.

“ehh?” asked her mother so surprised.

“ said my teacher, if the hand is bleeding because of a wound, with saliva, the bacteria in the wound can be lost” said Johan muttered with the finger of the mother who was still in his mouth.

“but right, mommy can wash it with air” said the mother with a laugh.

“ehh? Yes also” said Johan immediately pulled the finger of the mother from his mouth.

“hahaha, you are so funny. Now fast shower, after bathing, surely the cuisine is ripe” said the mother.

“ready, mamah” said Johan while paying respect to his mother.

The memory is a memory that immediately penetrated into Johan's brain at that time when imagining his beautiful memories together with the birth mother. Given this, Johan was so sad that he had to shed tears at that moment.

“maybe I still can not let go of the departure of my family who suddenly arrived one by one of them began to leave me” thought Johan in heart while wiping his tears.

Shortly after, the bathroom door opened. So surprised, Johan really covered his body in his bathtub so that his body was not seen by others. After Johan saw who entered the bathroom, in fact Johan was so surprised by all his friends except Emilia only used a towel that covered the bottom.

“why should I come with you too. Though I never took a bath together with all of you” said Kahfi so regretfully to friend Johan.

“it's okay, we will take a bath together here” said Farel.

“yoo, Johan. We've all been dressed like this since and waited for you for a long time. But it looks like you're gonna use this bathroom instead as your bed. So, instead, we'll take a bath together lest time separate us, and all that's left is the tears” Jehian cried so vigorously.

“bo-stupid, what are you all doing here?” johan shouted so surprised at their presence.

“we will shower” replied Jehian.

“alternasi used to napa, the bathtub is only one” shouted Johan.

“we've been waiting since the Dutch colonial era until now, but you still haven't come out either. Instead of the bathub used for soaking, it is better to use it for a tub of water so that we can rinse our bodies” said Jehian.

“but, I have no dipper. I only have a shower and that's just one” Johan said.

“just relax, we have brought the supplies” said Nyoman while carrying some plastic teapots of drinks.

“itukan teapot to drink” shouted Johan.

“it's okay, after all this will not be dirty” said Nyoman.

“you're up to you” said Johan immediately stood up from the bathub and then stood beside the bathub.

Instantly all his friends opened a towel that covered the bottom of them except Kahfi.

“a-are you crazy?” yell Kahfi.

“ehh? Stay Kahfi towel that still has not sagged tuh” said Farel with a seductive tone.

“ja-don't, don't pull. My pet is like yours” said Kahfi as he walked backwards.

“Farel, you hold his right hand. Nyoman, you hold his left hand. I will force him to open a haqiqi freedom here” Jehian said in such a cruel tone.

“ti-no, don't do that. TIDAAAKKKKKK!!” kahfi screams echoed in the house.
