Call Me Rain
Cup of Coffee

They are still cool to enjoy the cool air at night in the backyard, while playing guitar and eating a burning jangung when suddenly drizzle down, forcing them to enter the villa.

"Look yu! drizzle it." take Martin while cleaning the grill. Marko rolled up the mat still occupied by Marsha.

"Slow down why the hell." bursts Marsha when her body is a little shrewd because Marko deliberately pulled the mat rough.he stood up while nagging at Marko.

"It's so rough with girls, before me." grunts.

"Yes Lu instead of standing and the henchman sitting around, already know the rain" said Marko in an annoyed tone.

Mirza took the water from the bucket and then poured it on the still burning campfire.

After the mats were rolled up, and the bonfire was extinguished until everything was tidy again, they walked into the villa.

Alula who was always happy with the rain was going slowly, she turned her face up into the sky, permeating every drop of rain that fell on her face.

Marsha who saw Alula's behavior only shook her head. Apparently, her habits since childhood never changed.

"Don't try to walk behind Lala" Marsha told Mirza half-whispering.

Mirza's forehead frowned "why?" he asked with a face of astonishment.then he turned to Alula, his forehead increasingly wrinkled to find Alula who walked with a face looking up.

"There, the road behind Lala." Marsha moves her hand.

Mirza also said, although a little strange with Marsha's request, he still walked behind Alula and unexpectedly Alula's body staggered, because his legs tripped over a large stone.

Mirza swiftly grabbed Alula's body into her arms, making Alula surprised because her body was suddenly hugged from behind.

He also reflexes to turn his head "Abang," softly with a red face. feel embarrassed because of his own behavior.

"Lu tuh deck, if the clay road ahead!" exclaim Mirza without letting go of her grip.

"Date, let's get bang." Alula was nervous, she tried to escape from Mirza's embrace. Really, she felt uncomfortable being in such a position. Moreover, with her heart suddenly beating irregularly.

"Happy with the habit, never changed.The road never bowed again when it rained." said Marsha with a sigh of laughter.

"It used to be almost got, almost hit the power pole, even almost hit fat fathers because they did not see the road." now Marsha laughed, re-imagined his childhood with Alula.

"Diem Sa's! you are open to the disgrace of people." said Alula as she passed away leaving everything behind. Really, she felt her face heated up in shame.

...****************...

"Daddy, haven't slept?" mirza asked at midnight when she saw Alula sitting at the table eating.

Alula shook her head "not yet drowsy" he said as he blew on a cup of hot chocolate that was still blowing smoke.

"Do you want hot chocolate ?" bargain with Mirza as she sits in front of him.

But Mirza shook her head, "Had coffee."

"Wouldn't sleep."

"Ordinary douche, makinin' spit! it's cold." Yeah."

And black coffee with a little sugar brewed with freshly boiling water Alula had finished making.often she made coffee for Mirza, making her poultice with Mirza's habit.

"Why the hell if brewed coffee tuh have to water that just really boiling ? there will be a dispenser" he said as he continued to stir the coffee in the cup.

"So far more, why did it stir for so long?" now he sits in his place again.

"It's not good to know, it's different" Mirza said, taking a cup of coffee from Alula's hand.

"Everything, it doesn't turn red."

Mirza clucked "Lu mah will not know."

Alula just sneered at him.

"Dec," call Mirza.

Alula who was drinking her hot chocolate looked up "hemm?"

"Do you want to hear my story?" Mirza blew on the coffee that was still puffing hot steam.

"What?"

"First yes, maybe about a year ago, or more like.we're on vacation here again." The curious Alula, noticed Mirza with a serious face.

"Mama told Endorsemart to buy toiletries, because we had an impromptu arrival so the Mamang did not make preparations."

"Lu know not deck, in the street brother suddenly prevented the same girl." hear the word 'girl' Alula getting serious listening to the story Mirza.

"Uhukkk." Alula who had just drank her chocolate choked.

"Lu put the deck if you drink carefully" said Mirza as she grabbed a glass, then poured water into it.

"Drink water, slow down!" he cried while thrusting a glass at Alula.

Silent...

no one made a sound, but suddenly Mirza's question made Alula widen her eyes.

"So, back then, did Lu Abis run away from home?" mirza asked as Alula no longer coughed.

"Do you know, is that me?" tanyanya did not believe, because at that time he had tried not to show his face.

Mirza simply nodded before saying,

"Hurbs on the face at that time, was Lu's stepfather the one who made it?"

"Hem," Alula nodded then lowered her head.

"The distance from the street is quite far from the area where you live deck. and you are as determined as it is out of the house night-night ?" ask Mirza in disbelief.

"I have no choice but to run away." he said.

"But that's a real danger deck." Mirza shook her head, unable to believe that this petite girl in front of her had such courage.

"Don't know, in that house I risked my own life more, my future." Alula was downcast imagining the terrible thing that would happen, if she remained there.

"I'd rather go, go on with my own life, without knowing where to go, without knowing where to go. I just want to be free, leaving a place that feels more like hell than a house. there I lost my sister and I lost Mom, too, and I don't want to waste my life by staying there."

Mirza just silently listened. Now she knows the fragile side of women who always want to look strong.

"Then that night, why were you in such a deserted place on deck? wasn't that the time that Lu was living in an orphanage?"

Alula looked up "Don't know where?" didn't Mirza see him there.

"Mama."

Alula smiled bitterly before saying "I just don't want to because of my presence there, making someone feel rivaled." he said slowly.he remembered Risma who always put a sour face when passing by him.

"Who?" mirza's forehead frowned.

"No need to know." said Alula.

Mirza seemed to be breathing slowly.

"Pa Abhi is right, you always think about the feelings of others. And you're again putting yourself in danger, by walking away from the middle of the night like that?"

"We never know what we're going through, and I, if I had known that night I'd meet that bad guy again, I wouldn't have gone there."

"But maybe God arranged a time for me to meet my brother, and then bring me back to meet my father."

Alula smiled before saying,

"Thank you bang, if only that time my brother did not help me, I do not know, that night I was still alive or had passed."

"Lu tuh the speaking deck." Mirza protested.

"Now, I don't have to worry anymore.I've been happy living together with my father, have good friends. Moreover, now I have a family that loves me. There is a mother, there are friends, and I have a family that love me, the same Pa Jaya."

"Gue?"

"Emang brother dear to me?" Alula was surprised, never expecting that question to come out of her mouth.

"Darling," said Mirza sure

"Lu's got me." he added, not wanting to make Alula misunderstand.

A sister?

Yes, he must accept that Mirza only thinks of him as a sister, nothing more.For him to admire Mirza secretly is more than enough.he never expected Mirza to have the same feelings for him. who is he, who is only the son of a driver, and his employer's son only exist in the dream world.
