High School Bridal Romance
Cannot Return to Familiar
Apparently five years after parting completely made Mira and Elkan become awkward and unable to get back to familiarity. Until Mama Sara and Papa Belva even laugh to see her son and Mira who look to have their own limits. Just like now, despite standing face to face, the two tried not to look at each other.
"You going home now?" ask Papa Belva later.
"Yes, Pa... tomorrow Elkan has to go back to school" he replied.
Mama Sara also smiled, "Almost eat first El .. so Mira can come eat with us," he replied.
"No need, Ma .. was Mama at the Garang Asam Ayam cooking house, Ma .. Papa's favorite cooking menu, and Mira's favorite too," he replied.
"Don't dong Mira .. we stop by to eat first yeah," he replied.
“Ehm, tomorrow Mira also has to prepare for school, Ma,” Mira replied.
"This time can't refuse, Mira. We ate with Elkan. You two haven't eaten together in a long time. First meeting after five years, right?" ask Mama Sara.
As if not to be rejected, Mama Sara immediately took Marsha's hand and allowed Elkan and her husband to follow both. Handsome Mama Sara whispered softly to Mira, "eat first yeah .. just for a moment really," he said.
"Hmm, it's up to Mama Sara, Ma. It is important not too late, Ma, because you have to prepare for school," he replied.
"Ready Mira."
Arriving at the drop off lane, Papa Belva asks Mama Sara, Elkan, and Mira to wait, while she herself picks up her car. Just a few minutes later, Papa Belva had already picked up by car. Papa Belva gets out of his car and helps Elkan stuff his suitcase into the trunk of the car.
"You're only two suitcases, El?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, Pa. .. The rest Elkan send us cargo, along with books," he replied.
"How long will it take?" ask Papa Belva again.
"Two weeks to one month, Pa .. cargo by ship, Pa. You see the old checking in the Customs section," reply Elkan again.
"Yes, it's okay" replied Papa Belva.
After putting Elkan's backpack and suitcase, Mama Sara took a seat in the front seat, next to the driver. While inevitably, Elkan and Mira took a place in the back seat. Sitting close to one chair in fact makes Elkan and Mira both silent. Presumably Mira can conclude that indeed the affection that Elkan used to have for him as time went on was gone.
Even while still at the dining room, Mira and Elkan were still both silent. There were only voices from Papa Belva and Mama Sara there. To the extent that Mama Sara was confused with Elkan whose son was so friendly, but after returning from Singapore, Elkan turned into a quiet figure.
"Aren't you talking to each other or what?" ask Mama Sara.
"Hmm, yes Ma," replied Elkan who seemed to nod. Only to agree because even though they are now sitting at a table, Mira and Elkan are both silent.
"Had Ma, maybe because they had been separated for too long, so now they are awkward. They used to be small, now teenagers, have grown up. Getting to know again is okay," replied Papa Belva who seemed to mediate them.
"Now that Elkan is home, you can meet again often. Learn together," said Mama Sara.
"Yes Mama" Mira replied by allowing the glasses to be placed on her nose.
Even with Mira who is only just saying yes. However, in reality, he did not know if he could get back to being familiar with Elkan again. Especially now Elkan showed a cold and unfriendly attitude to him.
In the restaurant that serves processed Boga Bahari it is available all the favorite food menu Elkan there. Bakar Fish, Sweet Acid Shrimp, to a variety of Elkan's favorite foods. Waiting for about half an hour, finally all the ordered menus have been served.
"Yuk, eat," said Mama Sara who filled her husband's empty plate and gave various side dishes for the husband.
"Thank You Dear Mama" Papa Belva replied there.
Mira smiled, there were times when the attitude of Mama Sara and Papa Belva like Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham while at home. Can look harmonious and harmonious in the presence of children.
"Mira, let's go get it. No need to wait," said Mama Sara again.
"Yes Ma" replied Mira.
Finally Papa Belva, Mira, and Elkan began to enjoy the various Bahari Boga, but Mama Sara actually looked at her husband and son who looked greedy to eat.
"Mama didn't eat?" ask Mira later.
"Mama was already full to see Papa Belva and El eating together voraciously. A lot of the time I didn't spend with Elkan. So now, seeing Elkan in plain sight was so happy," she replied.
"Come, Ma ... My mom ate too. El was sad that Mama didn't eat" she replied.
Mama Sara finally took a bit of white rice and ate a variety of cuisine boga Bahari. Then Mama Sara observed the interaction of Elkan and Mira who looked cold.
"Is it true that long separation times change a person's interactions and familiarity? As you remember, you used to love each other. Why is it like this now? It means not familiar," said Mama Sara.
Elkan and Mira were both silent. It's not easy to get back to the familiar after five years have passed. Moreover, there was one event in the past that made Elkan upset until finally Elkan chose a school in Singapore and never returned to Jakarta for that time.
Is it true that the two are turning into two magnetic poles that repel each other?
