Black Pen On White Paper
Chapter 17 [Lia's Return]

In the end, they both let go of their hands. Lia rubbed her eyes as well as Petra. Lia drank the water that Petra had brought from the bottom until it was gone there was not a drop left.

“I'm thirsty, I want to grab a drink. Can I take it downstairs for a minute?” ask Petra.

“please.don't lama” firmly Lia.

Petra immediately walked downstairs and then picked up a glass of water in a gallon water dispenser. He took it and then drank it in the middle of the dark room, he drank a glass of water while sitting on the sofa in the middle room.

In the middle of drinking water, Petra heard a knock on the door from the outside door. He intended to open the door after he opened, so surprised Petra when she found out that her twin from the future came again to give a letter.

As Petra looked at her, the first remark I said was “are you the Petra Charleston Prakasa of the future?”

After Petra said that, she was surprised because she did not imagine that Petra would recognize her. He opened his voice and spoke to Petra for the first time.

“iya, I am you. I am the man who carries the torch in your dreams. I am you alone in the future”.

“you finally open your voice. Tell me, why do you always close your voice to me?” ask Petra.

“what is my face saying that it is important?” ask the twin back.

Petra looked at his face. His eyes are red and swollen. His hair was random and his clothes were shabby. Petra saw it as if she would in the future be a vagabond who had no spirit of life. He is moody and has eye bags, and his tone is slightly lower. A mysterious man like Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan.

“I remember what you said in my dream. You've drowned in a mudhole of total regret. What do you regret?” ask Petra.

“what I regret is that I did not do what I wrote in the letter. I wrote the letter so that you would do what I did not do before. Trust me if I don't want you to be the same fate as me. This whole letter I'm about to give you will bring you to the surface from the mud puddles and save you” explained the twin.

“how can you tell me everything?” ask Petra.

“I don't want to talk to you. I don't have much time. I'll leave after you get the letter. I just told you to stick this one thing on you. Do not occasionally discuss the disease belongs to Lia in front of him or to your friend” he stressed.

“friend? My pal? Who?” ask Petra back.

“starting tomorrow, you have to adjust in class. You'll make a lot of friends in class. Many want to reveal themselves to you. Many want to be friends with you. When Lia's not going to school, use as much time as possible so that you can be very familiar with your friends. But if Lia goes to school, spend as much time as possible so you can spend time with Lia along with your friends. So don't let you not go to school tomorrow or you'll miss it all" he said with a face so flat.

“i understand, totally understand. But what should I do on December 25th?” ask Petra again.

“don't think about the future.don't think about tomorrow. Think about how you can maximize your efforts today.At the end of the day, I will give you a letter, and it is the way to lead you. Follow my direction, and you will never regret it later in the” he said with his flat face.

“well, I trust you. Now, why do you go out here once a night? Do you want to give me a letter?”.

“I give you a letter that will lead you every day. Your job is not to think about tomorrow. Your job is to maximize today. keep that in mind”.

“then, give me your letter”.

The twin gave Petra his letter and spontaneously put it in her pants pocket.

“I'll be back.don't forget my word. Don't regret it at the end of the day, he said

In the end, he walked away from home. Petra doesn't know where she lives, how to meet her, what she does when she doesn't meet Petra, and so on. However, Petra was convinced that he was approaching her for her own good.

Petra went back into the house. He closed the door, walked upstairs, and walked back into the room.

As he entered the room, he found that Lia was writing words as if the wall in Petra's room was a blackboard. He wrote using his index finger on the wall.

“what are you writing?” petra asked Lia.

“ka-you long really. said cepet, why drink water long really” his upcake puffed cheeks and put on an angry expression.

“ma-sorry. I was a little kebelet, so I went to the bathroom briefly”.

“ohh, to the bathroom” he said shaking his head.

“now, it's time to check your body” condition Petra said.

“a-what are you going to do? Basic pervert guy, perverted guy!” he hugged his own body.

“i'm not a UKS mother who should make you take off your underwear. I'm just gonna check your temperature. Put this in your mouth” Petra said while giving her a thermometer.

“ohh, so so” he said.

He began to put the thermometer in his mouth. After that, Petra saw the temperature of the thermometer.in fact, the fever had started to fall from 41 degrees to 39 degrees Celsius. But anyway, the number 39 degrees is a very high number.

“your fever is dry, but it's still high”.

“no, but I will tell your papah to take you home immediately so that you are cared for in your own room” Petra said.

“pa-fapah? Which actually?” lia asked a little surprised.

“he is in this house.he waits until your condition improves, then your papah can take you home to your home” Petra replied.

“now, where's papah?” ask Lia.

“he was in my mom's room with grandma. The three of them seemed to be talking about something important, so I did not dare to disturb him” Petra replied.

“now, can I see him?” ask Lia back.

“I'll call him for you” he replied.

“I ask please”.

“ready, queen of ku” Petra replied saluting her.

He walked to the mother's room beside him and then knocked on the door. After that, accidentally, the knock was too hard to succeed in opening the door of his mother's room with just a punch of his knock.

When Petra looked at the contents of the room, she found that Lia's papah spontaneously wiped her tears and then behaved to Petra as usual.

“ehh, na-nak Petra. What's up, nak?” tanya papah Lia spontaneously wiped the tears.

“what is papah okay? what is papah dizzy?” ask Petra.

“ti-no, my eyes are just a little peri” he replied.

“ohh a little sore. Emm, yes. Lia is siuman”.

“my son is awake?”.

“papah can already take Lia to rumah”.

“can I see him?” ask papah Lia.

“why not” answer.

In the end, my mother, Lia's father, grandmother and Petra also re-entered Petra's room next door. They were all so relieved when they found out that the fever from Lia had decreased and was not as severe as before.

After that, Petra lent him her thick jacket for Lia to wear. At that moment, Papah Lia carried Lia's body and then carried her into a car parked in front of the house.

Papah Lia went back inside the house only to take his jacket and then say goodbye to the three of them.

“thank you so much for everything. I do not know what to pay you in what way” said Papah Lia.

“not what. If there are obstacles, please stop by the house. I will always open the door for you” replied the mother.

“and also for Petra. Thank you for taking care of Lia in your room. Your room is cool, so I was inspired to modify my room to be similar to your room. Again, thank you very much” said papah Lia.

“ti-not what, pah. I should have apologized because I forced Lia too much to play while I did not know that Lia was still not healed” he replied.

“just calm down, it's okay. Lia will recover kok” said papah Lia stroking Petra's head.

“what will Lia be okay? will Lia be cured?” ask Petra again.

“Lia will definitely heal. Lia will see you if she has recovered” he replied.

“what are you going to move house? Lia said that Lia would move house on December 25th. Is that true? Can't we play with Lia on Christmas Eve?” ask Petra.

“iya, we'll move house. But we're gonna let Lia play her last day with you on Christmas Eve. And also, please be happy Lia at such a time.I'm sure Lia will definitely be happy when she has moved later” Lia told Petra.

“ba-good. I will try to” Petra replied nodding her head.

After that, papah Lia was back in the car and immediately stepped on the gas. Petra could only see from a distance as Lia gave her a wave of her hand from the middle window. Until the car was not seen from the house, they went back into the house.

Grandma and Mom entered the house first while Petra had to turn off the front porch lights. As he climbed into the chair and was about to turn the light bulb to turn off, accidentally the paper given by his future twin came out and fell out of his pants pocket. he remembered and rushed to pick it up and opened it.

When Petra read it, she was very surprised. The content of the letter is
