Black Pen On White Paper
Chapter 13 [Over Day Letter]

“ehh, ma'am?” petra asked with a face so panicked and agitated.

“mamah?” ask Lia back while looking at Mamah Petra.

Instantly, Petra and Lia let go of their embrace and stood facing the mama. They were both like brats who were punished for standing in front of the class for disobeying the rules.

“who is he?” ask the mother to Petra.

“ma-sorry mah, I just drove her home. Besides, why are you here?” ask Petra back.

“you still haven't introduced the woman you're hugging. Who is he?” mamah asked with a slight glance towards Lia.

“introduce, my name is Lia, I'm her boyfriend Petra” Lia said with a genuine smile.

“pa-her boyfriend Petra? So you have a girlfriend?” asked the mother in a surprised tone.

“ma-sorry mah, I hid this from mamah because Petra was afraid that mamah would be angry” Petra replied with a broken tone.

“yahh, never mind, Petra, after all, my son is old and grown. Mutual liking will certainly be there” said mamah sighed loosely while patting his jidat.

“ma-maaf” Petra replied.

“after all, why are you two even dating in a place like this? don't you guys have anywhere else?” ask the mama.

“a-I just bought ice cream to Lia” Petra replied.

“hah? an ice-cream? In this kind of weather and this cold temperature, you even buy women ice cream? Basic insensitive man” said the mamah bend his arm.

“thank you, you also know that I don't want ice cream. I want a warm meal and berkuah” said Lia with a tone so spoiled.

“already, I will buy you” Petra replied.

“you do not need to buy it, you have cooked meat soup at home with ginger drinks. Will Lia come with me?” ask the mama.

“I want to come, aunte” said Lia with a tone so excited.

“wait a minute, why are your eyes swollen and a little red? did you cry?” asked the mama slightly stroking Lia's cheek.

“ti-it's okay, aunt. Petra just saved me from two thugs pasar” Lia replied.

“Waahh, it turns out Petra has started to pretentious to be a hero” said the mama so seductive Petra.

“apansih. Never mind, you go home first. Later we will both catch up with” Petra stressed.

“then, you go home first. You two don't come home too late. The night weather is very cold. And also for Petra, don't be naughty naughty with Lia, don't let Lia do anything heavy” asserted the mama walked away.

“well, aunt” replied Lia slightly shouting and waving her hand away.

After the mama left and left the two of them, Petra invited Lia to immediately re-enter the bazaar and pay for the underwear that Lia had chosen.

In the end, Petra and Lia returned to the bazaar and returned to one of the lingerie stand. Because Lia did not bring any money, Petra had to pay for Lia's underwear.

And also, after that, Lia stopped by the public bathroom for a while just to put on her underwear. Petra waited outside the public bathroom while eating Lia's ice cream ration.

In the end, Lia had put on her new underwear. Apparently, Lia's face looks so relieved after wearing her new underwear.

“how? Isn't it too small?” ask Petra.

“don't discuss it again, I'm ashamed” replied.

“hehehe, sorry. In that case, I will take you home” Petra said.

“no want”.

“ehh? Why not?” ask Petra again.

“i promised to go to your house and eat your mama's soup. I want to eat warm food” he replied.

“but are you sure you want to come to my house?. It was not a house, it was instead more like a village office. The living room resembles a spacious hall while there are several rooms above. I called him orphanage” Petra said.

“actually, I was born orphaned. In the end, I was adopted by my stepmother earlier along with the old grandmother in the orphanage. Although the name of the orphanage, but there only I was treated. Therefore, the three of us consider that it is just a house inhabited by 3 people who have no blood relation at all” Petra replied.

“ma-sorry I have asked such a disrespectful thing” said Lia lowered her head.

“why should I apologize? That doesn't matter to me. And also, if you still clean hard want to go see my grandmother and my mother, please go ahead. But they're both very chatty. The two of them will invite you to chat all day without rest” explained Petra.

“i like to tell stories and listen to people tell stories” he replied.

“already, how else. We both have promised to go home to my home” Petra replied with a tone so forced.

“well, let's go” said Lia vigorously raising her right arm.

“hiya, ayoouu” said Petra with a tone so lethargic.

The journey from the bazaar to the house is not so far away. It's about a 10-minute walk. During that time, Petra and Lia occasionally stopped to buy warm drinks at the roadside vending mechine.

In the end, at 04:49 PM, Petra and Lia get to a magnificent house and. Petra opened the door and took off her shoes, as did Lia who followed what Petra was doing.

Petra and Lia put the shoes on the front shoe rack, and then walked into the door. From the front door of the house, the aroma of cooking so rich in spices was smelled so clear. Petra and Lia spontaneously let out a rumbling stomach sound simultaneously.

The two of them walked to the middle room, where the middle room was so spacious as a hall. Petra invites Lia to go to the kitchen to meet the mother who is cooking in the kitchen of the house.

“aku!!” petra shouted into the kitchen.

“excuse” said Lia with her soft tone.

“ehh, you two have arrived. Do you two want to petrify mama?” ask the mother while cutting onions in the kitchen.

“by, aunt” replied Lia.

“in that case, please put the vegetable pieces into the soup broth stew that has begun to blukutuk-blukukuktuk on stoem” stressed the mamah.

“i will shower and change clothes first in the room. Lia, please help mama for a moment. I want to go up first” Petra said as she walked out of the kitchen.

“baik” Lia replied.

Petra let Lia to help her cook in the kitchen while I myself walked upstairs. Petra entered the room, took a towel, walked to the bathroom, washed her body, then went back into the room, changed clothes and then returned to the lower kitchen.

He returns to meet Lia and Mamah who are cooking in the kitchen. When Petra entered the kitchen, she was a little surprised because at that time the mother was giving plaster to Lia's finger.

“a-what happened?” petra asked in amazement.

“I accidentally scratched my own finger while using knife” Lia replied.

“just relax.everything will definitely learn from zero. In the past, when mamah was a child, mamah also learned to cook and of course mamah fingers also scratched knives. Everything cannot be from the beginning, therefore, we must learn. Just like learning to ride a paddle bike, if the person falls while learning to ride a paddle bike, it means that the person is able to be a reliable pedal. A true sailor is born from the waves of the ocean, not from the shallow river” explained the mama.

“widih buset, it has become a kekofusif” said Petra.

“dah, mamah has finished dressing your wounds with plaster. Does it still hurt?” ask the mother to Lia.

“not. Thanks mah” replied Lia with a genuine smile.

“ equally, son. Now, you better see mamah cooking, do not move too much, later your wounds open again” firmly the mama stroked Lia's head.

“baik” replied Lia nodded her head.

“basas careless, using a knife alone can not” Petra said in a mocking tone.

“don't be noisy, I'm still learning. I have never held a knife before” Lia replied in such a jutek tone.

“choose, excuse” said Petra sticking out her tongue.

At that moment, a house bell was heard. Spontaneous Petra ran to open the front door and met someone who pressed the bell.

When he opened the bell, Petra was so surprised because she found out if her twin came in the afternoon. The twins always gave him a letter like every morning, so Petra was so surprised and did not expect to see his twin come in the afternoon.
