Black Pen On White Paper
Chapter 30 [Knitted Scarves and Future Letters]
Petra read the letter in her heart. The content of the letter is “if the one who opened this letter is Petra, then I am very happy. The last time we met was when you saved your grandmother in your burning house. When I brought your grandmother, you brought her scarf and brought a picture frame of your parents with a heart donation letter to Lia. I think it was a very brave thing. And also, maybe when you read this letter, I'm not beside you, so I leave this doctor's job to Lia. Take it easy, I've taught her how to take care of someone like a nurse. If you know anything about Lia's heart disease, I've kept it a secret. I hid the heart-donating form paper for Lia in the picture frame of your parents. In the end, I can only help my son to this extent.I am now in Ukraine with my wife and my first child. I'm sorry that I'm never going back to that house because I've been fired for failing to save Lia's life. It's now your job to take care of Lia as well as you can. Your father is asking you for help, don't do anything crazy for both. Your father will be very happy and proud to see you have become an adult. Greetings from personal doctor Lia”
Reading the letter, Petra had no idea what the man was saying. All Petra understood was about the form letter.
“thank you for helping me to this extent” thought while folding back the letter.
Petra put the letter in her return envelope and folded it.
“what did Lia's personal doctor tell you? Why doesn't he want us all to see him?” ask Papah Lia to Petra.
“ti-no, she just confided in me. He was just upset that you fired him just because Lia was cured. As if, you invited him when you needed to, and when Lia was healed, you fired him” Petra replied to Lia's papah.
“so he told you that I fired him? Basic people have gone crazy” said papah Lia.
“iya, he told me that his house was in Ukraine. He said that you fired him because Lia was cured. You should have let him take care of me in this house for a little while longer” Petra told Papah Lia.
“mau how else? Lia is healed, so therefore I no longer need it anymore, ” said Lia papah.
“just up, you rich man” replied Petra.
“then, quickly return to the top of the mattress and rest” firmly mamah Lia.
“aku laper” says Petra.
“wait a minute, your friends will definitely return with food” replied mamah to Petra.
“you mean, Issak, Anna, Alex, Emma and Lucas will be here?” petra asked in surprise.
“the five of them always see you after school. And we will eat together here” replied papah Lia.
“why not eat at the dinner table?” ask Petra back.
“kurasa, eating in the room is better than eating at the dining table” said Lia.
“by the way, do you have any other clothes? I've started to get cold” asked Petra to Papah Lia.
“sorry, I will take it in the papah” room said the papah Lia.
“baik” Petra replied.
Papah Lia ran out of Lia's room only to get Petra clothes.
“mamah will also fetch water. At least, you should drink a lot” mamah to Petra.
“baik” Petra replied back.
His mother walked out of the room while picking up Petra's empty glass on the bedside table rack. In the end, there was only Petra and Lia in the room. The atmosphere changed instantly to awkward and silent.
Petra sat next to Lia who was also sitting on the bed with both feet touching the floor. Petra sat next to him while placing her hands on her own thighs, the two of them keeping quiet in that place.
“anu” says Petra and says Lia together.
“sorry, please you first” said Petra and sahut Lia together.
“no, you used to” said Petra and said Lia together.
“kok we together continue sih” said Petra and said Lia together followed by the laughter of the two of us.
“already let me first” said Lia with her laugh.
“well answered Petra nodding my head.
“what are you that moves my body to the bed when I sleep? How about you?” ask Lia to Petra.
“after I moved your body on the bed, I did nothing to your body. I took a shower. I swear because I didn't do anything said Petra with flushed cheeks.
“really?” lia asked with a hug to her own body using both of her arms.
“i'm not that perverted to women. I'm not so interested in such a thing”.
“now it's your turn. What do you want to say?” ask Lia to Petra.
“I just want to ask you about your personal doctor just” Petra explained.
“tell me what you want to say” said Lia.
“what is the name of the doctor?” petra asked Lia.
“ohh? A name? The name of the doctor?. his name is-“ said Lia stopped.
Instantly, Petra heard a knock on the door, and Petra failed to know the name of Lia's personal doctor.
“let me open it” said Petra.
“finally,... you finally wake up, Petra” said Alex with a tone so touched.
“I thought, I thought you were dead” Anna said in a very excited tone as well.
“jha-jhangan pheluk akhu erath. Uueeghh...” said Petra with a blue face.
“ma-maaf” says Anna and Alex spontaneously let go of her embrace.
“but, why don't you wear clothes? And also in it there is Lia. What just did you two do inside?” ask Issak so curiously.
“ti-no, I just took a shower, but my clothes fell in the bathroom and got wet. So I waited until Papah Lia brought me clothes to wear, hehehe” Petra replied with a slightly scratching head laugh.
“then, are you hungry? If so, really fitting we have bought some mak-“ said Emma stopped.
“wait a minute, who are you wearing scarves?” sahut asked Petra when he realized that they were all wearing handmade knitted scarves.
“ohh, this? all these scarves are a gift from your grandmother. Your own grandmother gave it to all of us”, Lucas replied.
“wahh, then, do I and Lia also get a ration scarf?” petra asked cheerfully the spirit of her face.
“you get dark blue. While I get white” said Lia while walking towards Petra.
“you get white color? It was very clean. Where's yours now?” petra asked Lia.
“it's a scarf that's so good, so I've wrapped it using plastic and I only open it when I'm going out of the house” replied Lia.
“then, where is mine?” petra asked them all.
“mine? Yours has been kept by your mother in her room. I don't know where your mama keeps it, which is for sure the scarf will be fine.” Lucas replied.
“waahh, that's really cool. Each of us has a knitted scarf from my grandmother. I can't wait to use my scarf that's” Petra said with a burning aura of spirit.
“that's your business with your mother later. Better, for now we'll eat together. We have all bought a lot of super food from bazar” said so spirit Anna.
“yaaappp, we will eat as much as possible until our stomach explodes” shouted Alex with so much enthusiasm.
“wait a minute, what is winter food?” petra asked them all.
“we bought some warm broth soup, melon sandwich from Issak's bakery, some green tea from the shop near the school principal's house, ginger drink made by Emma's mother, artificial soy milk directly from Lucas' mother, some kinds of baked fish, mushroom stew made by Petra's mother, and still very much more” explained Alex.
“then, let's go thenaann!!” sahut shouted Papah Lia who arrived just standing behind their bodies all.
The cry of Lia's papah surprised the entire room there.the instant our gaze was fixed on Papah Petra who was carrying her clothes.
“bikin shocked aja!” sahut Issak's.
“iyatuh, can not come if come do not be noisy” said emma.
“yaelah, we have to be excited every day. Isn't that right, Anna?” ask Papah Lia to Anna.
“yapp, that is very true, we all have to be excited and always cheerful every day” cried Anna with so much passion.
“then, let's go maakaaannnn!!” alex shouted with such passion.
“ayo kiitaaa maakkkaaannn!!” anna shouted with great enthusiasm.
“AYOOO KITAHH MAKHAANNN!!” papah Lia shouted super loudly in the room.
“huuss! Don't scream yell, be noisy!” mama stuffed a lump of tissue into Lia's papah mouth until it clogged.
Therefore, there was a large mat for all of us to eat in the room.on the mat, everything sat under the mat while only Petra and Lia sat on the mattress. Petra was wearing the clothes that Lia had given to Petra, and she was wearing them in the bathroom.
As Petra was about to enter the bathroom carrying her clothes, she was shocked to death when she saw her twin from the future standing inside the bathroom. spontaneously Petra slightly shouted as she saw herself inside the bathroom.
“wooaahh!!” petra shouted at the place.
That shout made everyone's gazes instantly turn to him.
“what happened?” ask Issak.
“ti-nothing what. Truly” answered immediately entering the bathroom.
Petra immediately entered the bathroom and closed the door from the inside. In the end, Petra met her twin from the future after a few days of not meeting.
“a long time no see” he told him.
As usual, he gave her an envelope and Petra received it. Petra opened the letter in that place as well and read the letter…
