An Overdose of Love

An Overdose of Love
Our Proximity (SEASON 2)


Our closeness is familiar. Rara seems to be getting sticky not just want to part. Every day if there is free time or after school, always take the time to visit.


"Tante Karin, must be tired huh?" his babble now wiped my forehead with a tissue while draining sweat.


Rara had been sitting casually at the table, which was made to stir flour to be used as cake ingredients. His face looked curious, with a myriad of funny looks towards me.



"Not really, baby. Aunty used to work like a gini," answered while throwing a smile.


Rara's head was just mangut-mangut, like a sign of understanding, but her name is also a child, the answer yes actually did not understand as if it did understand.


"Rara misses mom" she said with a sad face.


The hand that had been busy now immediately stopped, when he heard the strange words of the little boy.


"Where is Mama Rara?" Pride wants to know.


"Mama was dead when Rara was a baby" Innocence answered.


"Astagfirullah. Is that true what you said, baby?" I can't believe a little boy like Rara is orphaned.


Again his head nodded slowly.


Busy work soon. Feet began to go down the road to the water faucet. Dirty fingers I immediately raised in the water so that it would be clean immediately. Water droplets attached to the hand immediately flick slowly so that it can be reduced immediately. Dilapak dikain very efficacious also quickly dry.


The body of the little boy who was still dumbfounded looking at me, I just lifted his tiny body so that I could peel me over the thighs.


"Rara really miss the same thing, mama?" Rework words.


"Yes, Aunt. Rara misses mom a lot. Every day Rara could not hug the body of the mother, but only the photo that was displayed in the frame was always hugged," explained the boy whose face was now stuck on my cheek.


"Oh my God, he must have been very sick. Wanting to hug the mama but unable to," heartbrokenly looked sadly at that innocent face.


"Patience, baby. You don't have to be sad, just pray your mom will be calm there. Maybe it's a fate that has been determined for you, but rest assured someday you will be able to embrace the warmth of someone as your mother's bride," speech tries to calm and give understanding.


"Yes, Aunt. Rara understood, but Rara wanted so much and if she could just hug her body once, "A sometimes impossible request.


"Pray a lot for mama, who knows there is a miracle and it can happen if God the creator of this universe has willed."


Nod the head slowly there. The burden that was in his mind, has now been weakly leaned against me. Rara looked spoiled, when her desire was now so hot. The hand could only gently stroke the pitch-black colored hair so that he could calm down.


The conversation about Rara's family he kept telling me. The beautiful and clean boy continued to chatter funny, when in detail talking about the events in his home.


I don't know how long Rara's been here, which is almost late in the afternoon there is no sign she will be picked up by someone. Although not troublesome in the store, but so worry only when the reddish twilight began to appear.


During the busy shop making customer orders, thank God Rara is not fussy or troublesome, plus the possibility of tired he is now sleeping.



"You deliver the order to the address on the paper" he told the clerk as he handed me a few boxes of cookies.


"Sipp, Ma'am."


Cake immediately kuoper handkerchief officer. There are only about two boxes and there are about 50 seeds of cake in it. I told two employees to drive him, because using a motorbike then the rear piggyback can later be easy to hold the box.


"Excuse me!" greeting a man's voice.


When busy serving officers who are ready to deliver, the body turns lightning to see who is calling.


A wave of weak hands was on me. The culprit is none other than Papa Rara, Chandra. The unrelenting smile made the weakened heart want to avoid it alone.


"You?" surprised me.



"Well, where did this guy know my name?" the confused heart.


"Hi too. Not bothering, really." Reason that he's not lost.


"If you think about continuing your work, because I'm here just to pick up Rara," he explained.


"Owwwww, Rara."


"Why can I forget Rara. You're too angry and wrong to think Chandra's coming for you" the heart murmur was wrong.


"Yes, Rara." His face looked astonished to see me gawking.


"Oh, yes. I'm sorry I'm not focused on a lot of work, "reason is lying.



"No pa-pa, I understand that. Can I bring Rara sakarang?" he said impatiently.


"Oh, of course. Rara was sleeping. Let me drop you off now" replied in a nervous state.


"alright. Thanks for taking care of Rara."


"Yes, you're welcome."


This time I followed his footprints from behind. Looks like Chandra has memorized where Rara's room is sleeping.


The door has opened. Rara still hugged her own body. Chadra came straight. His hands are now busy entering between the neck and legs to immediately hold in front.


"Thank you for taking care, Rara. I'm sorry to bother you with her attitude" Chandra said.


"Nothing, really. Just ordinary. I'm glad he's here anyway, 'cause there's a friend to talk to."


"Yes, I know. But I think Rara loves you so much, that she now visits a lot."


"really that? I just found out. But it's all natural if it happens to be the same little boy. It's possible that Rara is comfortable making friends with me, which is why she comes here so often."


"For sure he will love and be sticky to someone, if he makes his days feel beautiful. Maybe that's what you've done, because for a few years Rara was just a little boy," explained Chandra who was still busy carrying the tiny body.


"really that? Then Rara was very lucky to meet me."


"Yes, thank you for everything, Karin."


"Emm, is it possible that Rara's depression is due to her missing too much and wanting to meet her mother" guessed the uncontrollable mouth.


"That could be the main reason, because when Rara was a baby she could not see her mother's face until now, due to a disease suffered so that now it is not in our midst." Chandra lowered his head, the look on his face now harboring sadness.


"I'm sorry, who brought up your past."


"It's okay. Maybe you deserve to know, because Rara is now close and wants to continue playing with you."


"Hmm, I hope he's really happy to be around me."


"Amen. Accept for understanding. Well, then, if you'll excuse me for bringing Rara home first."


"Oh, yes. Let me take you."


"Thank you."


A short but very meaningful conversation, because it managed to know everything in the heart of the little angel named Rara. A deep longing for the mother must have been very tormenting, so now feel comfortable and visit continues to my place. Chandra I drove to the front door, his body began to disappear with his own black car.
