Koi Fish, the Bearer of Memories


The right time for Isa to do his college work is now, because he is not taking care of anything. While twirling his pen, Isa still kept thinking.



Meanwhile, Arvin is finished with the film, he decided to take a shower and choose to dress neatly when Ny. Zemira is working in her office.


In the kitchen, Indira and Kania were busy preparing lunch. While cutting onions, Indira invited Kania who was washing dishes to chat.


"It feels still not to think yes if Brother Ayang will stop working. Can Tantri do all the work that two people are supposed to do?"


"She certainly can, after all Mrs Zemira suddenly ordered Mr. Kevlar to place job advertisements in many newspapers" Kania said.


"And we'll get to know new people again."


"of course. Getting to know new people and new natures.".


"Yes." Yeah."


From Tantri's room, 3 people just came out of it. Yep, Tantri walked towards Ismail who was feeding the Fish and was followed by Mona and Zhani.


"Tantry?" says Ismail.


"You want to play with them?" tantri asked, Ismail turned to Mona and Zhani.


"of course! You guys want to help uncle feed the fish?" ishmael asked Mona and Zhani.


"You! Want to!" mona and Zhani answered simultaneously.


"Yes, I put them here, brother. I have to wash clothes first, because Ayang's brother is not there, my work is doubled" said Tantri.


"Yes, yes, come in" said Ismail. Tantri walked towards the mansion.


"That orange color! What is Goldfish?!" zhani asked who pointed at the second Fish pond.


"Hahaha, it's Koi Fish, the skin color is similar to Goldfish, because they work together" said Ismail.


"Civilized?" ask Mona.


"Yes ... like they are basically of the same kind, but over time for several reasons, their types became different, but they still look similar" replied Ismail.


"Can Koi Fish be eaten? Why were they separated from the other Fish? Why do they have their own pool that's a little far away from that pool?" zhani asked while pointing to the Fish pond that Ismail was throwing Fish food.


"The Koi fish are a symbol of love and luck, they made their own pond for that reason, they were given a lucky symbol in this mansion. And Koi are usually just made into ornamental fish, so they're very rarely eaten."


"Did Ishmael's uncle ever eat it?"


"No, uncle is not interested in eating it, just making it as an ornamental fish is also enough."


"Look! There's a black one too!" exclamation Zhani.


Arvin, who was well-dressed, came out of the mansion and walked towards the garage, but he did not get into the garage because he saw Mona and Zhani playing with Fish with Ismail. He smiled at the behavior of the two boys, until he did not realize that in fact he had experienced something similar. But then he remembered it.


20 Years ago was a very happy childhood for Arvin. When the toys are still very much. At that time he was just a 6-year-old boy, playing cars in his room, but suddenly someone opened the door of his room.


"Arvin! I bought a new fish! Let's see!" take the teenage daughter who is about 12 years old while jumping up and down.


"Kak Jhana knows where?!" little Arvin asked.


"Dad just got home! Let's go see! Come on!" replied Jhana who at that time was still wearing a bando as her mandatory jewelry.


Arvin then immediately stood up and ran to follow Jhana, they went down the stairs in a hurry.


"Can you be more careful when going down the stairs?!" ask Ny. Zemira who happened to pass by.


"Mom, but this time we're in a big hurry!" jhana answered while opening the front door.


"What are you guys gonna do?"


"See the fish that Dad just bought! Brother Jhana said there's a new fish that Dad bought!" answer Arvin.


"Good God, just fish apparently. Basic children," murmured Mrs. Zemira.


"Dad, wait! Don't put it in the pool!" yelled Jhana while running holding Arvin's hand.


"Hurry now!" tell Rashid who was near the pool first with Flowers and Isa who are still holding a milk bottle.


"Yes, patience! Arvin's running too slow!" jhana Grunts.


"Don't blame me!" grunts Arvin.


"But in reality it is!"


Arvin then turned his face away. The impatient Jhana then carried Arvin and ran while carrying him.


"What did sister do?! Release!" jerit Arvin is rebelling.


"Shut up!"


Mr. Farzin only chuckled a little while shaking his head at the behavior of his two children, but he was ready with a bucket containing some Koi Fish.


"You guys are slow," said Bunga to Jhana and Arvin who finally arrived.


"I told you that slow is Arvin!" jhana Grunts.


"Easy! Go, daddy! Quickly pour the fish!" get Rashid.


"One, two, three!" exclaim Tn. Farzin who immediately poured all the contents in the bucket after the count of three.


"Waaah!" Everyone was amazed to see the beauty of the Koi Fish.


"In another pond there is still a new Fish ready to enter, I will let you pour the Fish in the bucket there. Come on!" bring Tn. Farzine.


"No, I'm just here to see this fish" said Jhana.


"I want to be here too" said Arvin.


"Yes," said Rashid. The four of them then went to the other Fish pond, which contained ready-to-eat Fish.


The design of Dhananjaya mansion in Jakarta used to be exactly the same as the Dhananjaya mansion in Jogja now, so every corner of the room in the Dhananjaya mansion that now will certainly bring its residents to remember the old mansion.


"Sister, look! The Black one I'm going to name Arvin" Arvin told Jhana.


"Which color will you name Jhana,"


"The Gold is mother, the Gold is father."


"That's Rashid, that's Flower and that's Isa" Jhana said.


Arvin chuckles.


"Their meat's good no, huh?" ask Arvin.


"It's Koi fish, it's not edible" Jhana said.


"Can't be eaten? Really true?"


"Know that you don't, but maybe someone ate it."


"So what are they kept for?"


"Of course, maybe just as a decoration."


Arvin grew up and smiled remembering that.


'Sometimes I miss you, brother. But if we meet, I think I'll just hate you more. I don't expect your presence in my life anymore, but I want you to see them, and I wonder, do you remember that day?' inner Arvin, he then continued his steps towards the garage.


And without knowing it, Jhana actually saw what she saw earlier. Jhana peeked out from the side of the gate and smiled looking at her happy-looking children in the Dhananjaya mansion.


'Arvin, if you look at them, will you remember that day?' inner Jhana.


Jhana, who had been focusing on Mona and Zhani, panicked when Arvin's car drove slowly towards the gate, and ran towards the bushes in the area and hid behind them.


'That ... Arvin?!' inner Jhana.


After doing her college work, Isa comes out of her room to pick up Fina and her nieces. At the same time, Mrs. Zemira walked out of her study while removing her reading glasses.


"Will?" call Mrs. Zemira.


"Yes, mommy?" sahut Isa's.


"Sister Arvin? Didn't he just watch a movie in the living room?"


"The living room is on your left and the living room door is open."


Jesus looked to his left and saw no one there.


"Oh yes. I just got out of my room after college, so I don't know where Arvin's sister is. Just now, Kevlar sent me a message, he asked me to help him pick up Fina and Arka, so I'll go get Fina, please" Isa said.


"Fina?" Mrs. Zemira looked astonished.


"Oh, that child," continued Mrs. Zemira.


"Just go, go," said Mrs. Zemira.


"All right, I'll go first, mother," said Isa.


The young man then came out and walked towards the garage.


After seeing Mona and Zhani doing well, Jhana decided to return to the mosque on a leisurely walk. He thought nothing of his children, because he understood that his children were living with Dina and were entrusted to the Dhananjaya mansion when Dina was working.


It was far enough Jhana walked, but he stopped because he heard the sound of a car engine from the back approaching him, Jhana immediately went back to hiding behind the bushes.


He saw Isa who was eating bread in the car, and was relieved because his existence was not realized either by Arvin or Isa.


Meanwhile, when noon was at its peak, Wanda was overheated and given iced tea by Andra the lover, Wanda received it without turning her head and behaved like she was angry with Andra.


'She's still very considerate of me, it would be difficult for me to decide for her brother Isa, so I'd better keep acting away from her, ' Wanda's inner self.


"What's up, baby? Why do you keep on going?" ask Andra to Wanda.


"Nothing" Wanda replied quickly.


While Dina was engrossed in chatting with Yahya and Salma. Salma sat back to the entrance, while Yahya sat facing the entrance, which meant that Dina was sitting in their midst. The three of them laughed out loud near the cash register, but somehow Wanda became angry.


"Why are you laughing?! There's nothing funny about us to laugh about!" wanda sewot.


"Well?" yahya. After Dina, Yahya and Salma again laughed out loud with the frenzy of Wanda.


"What?!" challenge Wanda.


"No one laughed at Andra's brother and sister, we just laughed because of Salma's childhood story" explained Dina. At once Wanda was embarrassed and went straight into the bathroom to cover up her embarrassment.


Not long after Wanda got into the bathroom, a car stopped in the parking lot. The owner who is none other than Arvin then went out and entered the restaurant Popular.


"Sister Arvin?" said Dina.


"Y-yes, hi," said Arvin.


"What's brother doing here?" ask Dina.


"I want to talk to you about what happened yesterday. Can we just dudu7k over there?" arvin answered while pointing at the table at the very end.


"Can."


"I went there first, yes," Dina told Salma and Yahya. He then walked after Arvin who had already sat in the chair in front of the table he meant earlier.


"The incident yesterday? Which one is brother?" ask Dina.


"The one in the casino" replied Arvin.


"Why indeed?"


"I want to thank you."


"Thank you? What's for?"


"Yes .. 'cause of you I left a world like that."


"My partner?"


"Yes, because of you. I finally realized that if I was in a place like this, then my family wouldn't be far from such a place either, and I realized that such a place was very dangerous for my family, I can at least see my family in danger, maybe a lot of people can't see their family in danger, but, thanks to you yesterday, thanks to you, I realized that such a world would not only harm me, but would also harm my family. So I decided not to come into contact with such a world anymore. Thank you," explained Arvin.


Dina smiled broadly. "So ...?" said Dina while widening both hands like a bird that is ready to fly.


"So ...?" said Arvin while following the motion of Dina.


"Maha." Dina laughed out loud looking at Arvin who was following her movements.


"Aha-aha-ha-ha." While Arvin who did not understand why Dina laughed, even joined in laughing, but with a very stiff.


"So what?" ask Arvin.


"WILL YOU FALL IN LOVE?!" dina asked back, he looked Arvin in the eyes seriously while folding his hands.


"I-i?" Arvin said.


"Yes. Brother went rogue for fear of being affected by the love that brother thought would enslave someone. So after stopping being naughty, will big brother love a girl?"


Arvin was silent for a moment, then he replied. "I'm just out of the 'dark' world, not stopping to be naughty" he concluded.


"Hmm, I'm not sure about that."


"Well, what do you want to order?" continued Dina.


"Tea is enough" replied Arvin.


"But not free, yes!" dina Guyon.


"I brought money!" Arvin.


"Hahaha, I'm just kidding." Dina then went to the kitchen.


After ordering the tea that Arvin wanted, Dina was back sitting in her cashier's chair.


"That's who?" salma asked Dina.


"Order ready!" one of the kitchen workers.


Dina then showed a facial expression that got a brilliant idea.


"Take the order, take it to him and get acquainted with him" told Dina to Salma.


"Ihihihihihi let's hurry," said Yahya who understood Dina's ignorance.


"Me?" salma.


"Yes! C'mon fast! If you want to know who he is, take him!" dina.


"O-okay, but what am I supposed to tell him?" ask Salma who looks 'plain' from the outside.


"Just ask her name, or her phone number," Dina replied.


"Is that really so?"


"Yes!"


"Well, I'll drop her off." Salma looked confused with Yahya and Dina who were chuckling for no apparent reason to him. He then picked up the tea and walked towards Arvin who looked at the window and turned his back to Salma's position.


"That's your sister-in-law's candidate, right?" yahya whispered to Dina.


"Yes," Dina replied in the same tone of voice as Yahya.


"What's his name?"


"Arvin's."


"Do you think they're a good fit?"


"If I think they don't match, I might have Salma's brother deliver the tea to Arvin's brother. I told him to make a taste ..."


"Love!" sambar Yahya in a still whispering tone.


"Hihihi, yes."


'But will Brother Arvin put his taste on Brother Salma? Is he going to notice Salma's sister?' dina's real mind doesn't know what she's doing right or not.


'Hopefully yes, because they will surely be compatible, one is rigid about romance, and the other knows nothing about love, ' he thought.
