Are You My Brother ?

Are You My Brother ?
The Eternal Togetherness


Sunday came, under the light of the sun that was somewhat covered with clouds, my brother and I went to the hill. The natural beauty of the archipelago has begun to appear when we just got to the foot of the hill. It is not a mountain, its height is also far from the mountain. But the beautiful scenery is almost the same as the mountain. I walked side by side with my brother down the lush trees on the hill, until soon we reached the top. As I thought, the whole place I could look from up there, the cool air added to the calmness of heart.


" How ? This is a place you really want to go to ?" Said my sister who I responded with a smile.


" From here we can see everything below, that's what I love about this place" I said.


" If my eyes had no disturbance, I might have seen everyone down there" My mind.


" Yes, but if the desire to go somewhere just buried and do not dare to live for what ? It's usual to just look at the place from afar, ha ha ha ha ha," Ejeknya to me while laughing.


" Don't laugh fast - fasten, your wound is not fully healed yet" I said annoyed.


We kept quiet for a while, before the laughter returned from mouth to mouth. A meaning of real brotherhood - really, a togetherness is up there. When the time continues - the canal runs, I am still facing down looking at the beauty of the nature of Indonesia is surprised with a hand that I do not know whose hand it is. That hand rubbed something onto my face, it was unmistakable that it was flour. The spread continued with a flurry of flour on my head, and a boisterous atmosphere was heard.


" Happy Birthday" said many of my high school friends, my mother's father, Mr. Anto, and Sherly.


I remember - recall a date, a new feeling of October 9, while my birthday was October 10.


" Birthday, this feeling is not my birthday," I said confusedly.


" It may be October 9th, but it may be far from where we are already on October 10th, which means today is your birthday, right" said my brother.


" Heh, you freak," I muttered as if I could not believe the incident.


" Candra, gini - gini, maybe this is only the 9th. But it's only this day that we can all get together, so your brother asked father, Mr. Anto's mother and the others to come here. These are all ideas from your sister, "My mother explained.


" Is that so ?" I said while looking at my brother.


In front of there is a girl who is carrying a birthday cake, the girl is none other than Sherly. The cake was brought before me and I was told to blow out the candles that stuck in the cake. It feels weird, like a kid. But I concluded that it was a delayed event, because in my childhood I never felt it. And that towering hill bears witness to the birthday of a child with millions of dreams.


I cut the cake into pieces and distributed it to all of them. Although simple but it feels really - really very fun. Being in a high place accompanied by loved ones. That beautiful girl, I'd love to express my love. Yet the courage to express it seemed lost from within me. He's been so good with me, he's always been in my life under any circumstances. My love story cannot begin.


" Everyone, thank you for the surprise" I said.


" We surprised you, didn't we ?" Ask Andre.


" No, no" Sahut Indra.


" Candra woy, Candra, nyahut ni ni son," Andre Kesel said.


" Syutttt, there's his father and mother, and they named him" Edo said.


The father and mother who heard the conversation laughed, as well as the others. Virgo, my best friend at High School, a quiet person who never growled, seemed to have turned into a cheerful human being. That is friendship, all can change with that one bond. And one more thing, in the bond called friendship, there will be where one will act or talk as silly as possible to make the other smile.


Our laugh was made at that moment. Maybe that was the only day we could get together. But one day it will feel eternal, because I am the type of person who never forgets an important moment. Although togetherness is not eternal in reality, it will be eternal in my memory.


It did not feel like the day had begun to day, the sun had also begun to be right above us. The heat began to sting, the breeze was not even able to remove the heat.


" Go home, it's hot !" Bring Andre to us.


" Halah, weak, hot gini already moaning, but it's hot anyway," Oceh Indra.


" Heee, the ends are the same, just as usual," Omel Andre.


" Yes, it's getting hot, we better go home !" Take dad.


We rushed down the hill, on the way down, my brother always teased me with words that embarrassed me.


" Hey, Candra, I think she likes you, too" said my sister, gesturing through her eyes to Sherly.


" Who is this sister ?" My toot.


" Udah, do not need to pretend, that, mending you aragarin aja him, beautiful girl that do not let go," Whisper my brother.


" Ah, my sister is single, pretentious and told me to date." My ejek then walked ahead of him.


" Ha ha ha, hey Candra, don't be long in," he cried.


" So stupid." I'm upset.


Suddenly the conversation also invited a sense of confusion from everyone, it was seen from the faces of those who were watching me and my brother.


" What's the matter Ndra ?" Ask Virgo.


" What's wrong." Answer's short.


My satisfaction with a day full of togetherness was really big, even though it was over and we went home each other.
