I Don'T Want To Be Cinderella #1
5. Cars Free Day's

“So what's the problem, Na, you like him?” siska asked with a little unclear because her mouth was busy chewing the chicken soto, which was no longer yellow but was red by the sambal.

“The problem is that he is Caraka Continent, son of Rudi Mahesa, the king of hospitality and retail Indonesia.” I answered with the same mouth full. Currently we are enjoying cars free day not for exercise, but looking for food.

“Lha keep why? Lo is also the daughter of Ibu Mega, the queen of the world in our complex, no one can defeat our mother about the matter of the.”

“Different world, Munaroh!” Children sometimes like their brains to cling.

“Indeed they live in the occult world?”

“World Konoha!”

“Hahaha, same neighbor Naruto dong?”

“Know ah!”

“Hahaha .. means tuh, at least Bu Mega will not be surprised and know exactly what to do if for example the boss suddenly came to the house while throwing a sip of Sukarno-Hatta. Bu Mega has watched a lot of drakor, has many references is.”

He did not know that Bu Mega's life was also like a drakor, full of drama.

“Iya, Bu Mega is okay, the most money he took to travel to Korea with Bu Yati.”

“Hahaha, right.”

“Well the problem is this delicate and fragile Cinderella heart how are you?”

Siska stuffed her nose with a tissue, sipped a glass of drinking water, but her mouth was still rich in oxygen-deprived fish, gasping for clarity.

“Bang, cold 1 bottle tea!” yells with lips monyong. “Crazy connect it.”

“Yeee .. the crazy one who eats not sambelnya, anyways it sambel dikasih kuah soto.”

“Burning fat, make no need to cape-cape sports,” he said before spending half a tea bottle cold freshly delivered. Sometimes the idea is brilliant too, if about the mager he is the champion.

“Not only fat burned, the stomach will also be drained,” I said while spending sotoku.

“Hahaha .. What were we talking about? Yes, the heart! Listen yes, Princess Syalala, life is nothing certain, now hot, eh suddenly can rain?”

“What's the heat-rain relationship with Bae Suzy's fragile heart?” ask me while putting an empty bowl and then drink warm water provided by brother Soto.

“Listen yes, Susi Similikiti! I mean Park Shin Hye tuh, we do not know what will happen in the future .. yes, who knows it turns out the parents of the boss ngerestuin you, we do not know. So do not be pessimistic dong, life is full of challenges and risks, Sistah. Nah! Challenge this time the jackpot prize, so yes it's natural that if the risk is high, if the challenge is a little and easy mah at best also the prize is a beautiful plate like a detergent prize.”

I was silent thinking about Siska's words. Either because of the influence of the cold bottle tea that I was absorbing delicately or Siska's brain again in the right position, but his words this time made sense.

Am I trying to break down my principle of not being in touch with the rich and preparing for heartbreak? Aaah .. I don't know!

Still in a state of confusion I took my phone when it felt vibrating in the pocket of the jacket I was wearing.

Live long! The person we were talking about and confused me with is now sending me a message.

Boss Sir: Woi, sleepyhead! Wake up is noon!!!

I clucked with a smile reading the message, I took a photo of an empty bowl and half-living tea bottle and sent it in response.

Boss Sir: Hahaha, the base of the dinner, early in the morning already ngabisin soto 2 bowls.

Kirana: Just a bowl! It's got Siska .. I'm not greedy that time, Boss!

Boss sir: Hahaha, yes not greedy, just crab, clams, shrimp plus grilled fish with rice sit .. oh! Don't forget the orange ice!

Kirana: Hahahaha, but that's us both.

Boss Sir: Hehehe, yes ... Where is it?

Kirana : On CFDs with Siska.

Boss Sir: Both?

Kirana: Foursome .. I, Siska, Oka, Kayas, but Oka and Kayas don't know where the boy is.

Boss Sir: Still loose?

Kirana: Yeah, pretty good.

Boss Sir: Wait, I'm going there now!

Kirana: Ok!

And 30 minutes later the boss was standing with his looks wrapped in sports clothes with a famous brand, sports shoes that made my shoes and Siska mindful, and do not miss the sunglasses whose price makes my wallet and Siska cry in the corner while hugging.

“Lo, sure you don't want to be the same Boss lo? Geeh! Such a handsome, do not waste, Na, tar nyesel lu,” whispered Siska with eyes staring at the Boss who was walking in front of us.

“That problem .. he was too—”

“Perfect?”

“Iya .. handsome, pinter, rich again, really a Prince.”

Siska was silent watching the Boss who was now buying a drink.

“Iya anyway, she's a complete package.”

“Iya, she is a complete package, well how are I doing the package save gini.”

“Hahaha .. saving package, whose name is just a handlebars, half eggs, continue to drink iced tea sweet mostly ice, hahahaha!”

I clucked to see Siska laughing happily laughing at me.

“So you notice how it feels so I if maxain the same way people who are rich complete package?”

“Ya, lo do not be a package save dong.. lo enough so crackers only to complete her completeness dia.”

“Damn it!”

“Hahaha.”

“For ngetawain what?” the boss asked, unscrewing the drink and handing it over to me, and the plastic containing the canned drink to Siska.

Siska looked at me and the Boss took turns with a seductive smile, making me glare at her

“Still, Mr. Boss.”

“Caraka, call me Caraka or Continent is up, just don't Pak Bos.” Siska smiled then nodded. “And this applies also to you, we are not in the office,” he continued while looking at me who was sipping isotonic drinks that he just loved.

“By pleasure,” Siska said with a big smile. “Yes, I'm looking for Oka same Kayas yes, Na, who knows they're thirsty.”

I nodded making Siska smile full of mystery while walking away leaving me both with Mr. Boss.

“Oka is your sister huh?”

“Iya, his name is Asoka, we call him Oka.”

We walked among the people who enlivened CFDs that morning.

“Ceritaka to me, about your family!”

“There is nothing special about my family, Boss.”

The boss clucked while saying. “We're outside again, Ra, not in the office .. don't call the Boss!”

I smiled as I sipped my drink. “Fear of quality call an older person by name only.”

“Hei! I'm not that old either, Ra, we're just different .. 5-6 years?!”

“Hahaha, still the title, Boss, older than me.”

The boss came back to make me laugh.

“So you only have one sister?” He asked again after admitting his defeat.

“No... I have 2 people sister.” It always feels stifling when I remember my other sister. “The name is Bentari, we call it Bi, but it has been almost 20 years I have never met him.”

I could see the Boss raising his brow confused making me smile a little, and starting to open again the sheet that made my heart ache a little when it remembered him.

“Our parents divorced when I was six, and Bi four. Bi went with Dad, while I went with Mamah. And after the divorce, we never met again.”

We are now sitting cross-legged on the edge of the round fountain pool HI where in the middle stands a welcome monument that stands majestically welcoming people taking pictures making it a pretty iconic backdrop.

I remember the days filled with shouting and quarrels of two people who used to love each other.

I vaguely remember .. I was six years old trying to cover Bi's ears with my trembling little hands, I still remember her clear eyes staring into my eyes that started crying hearing the screams outside the room that were becoming more and more. Without a sound Bi's hand rubbed my cheek wet with tears. Maybe he didn't understand what was going on outside when our parents were yelling at each other, but he was a good kid, as if understanding he was just speechless under the covers with me.

Brak!

The room door suddenly opened violently, before long the blanket that protected us was revealed to show the sight of Father staring fiercely. For a moment he looked me in the eye and I could see he was surprised to see my body trembling and tear without a sound, before he finally turned his gaze to Bi who was also looking at him confused. Without saying anything he immediately held Bi who screamed calling me and Mamah who was just speechless crying saw Dad go to take Bi.

Since that day I have never seen either of them again. Every day I would sit outside or stare out the window hoping they would come back, but as long as I waited, they never came back. And soon we moved to Yokohama, where we met the Siska family, and at that moment Mamah found out she was pregnant. Without a husband, Mamah tried to support us in Japan by becoming a private English teacher.

Mamah gave birth only to me, and Bu Yati, Siska's mother. The baby born prematurely was named Asoka. As the meaning of the name means without sadness, Mamah wishes happiness for her son also for the three of us.

“So you haven't seen them yet?”

I nodded with a slight smile even though I always felt sadness every time I remembered Bi or Dad. My age at that time was still small to make the shadow about them more faded, I no longer even remember how father and Bi looked. So I like to be surprised if I see a Korean movie or drama where the main character still remembers what happened when he was very small very clearly.

Yes, maybe the main character has a very good memory like people who have the ability of hyperthinesia (the ability to remember the past clearly) to remember what he ate, wear what clothes with the details of what happened when he was three years old. Because in fact yes, let alone the events of tens or dozens of years ago, asked the events of last year alone have many forgotten.

That's what happened to me too. I can remember — with samar— the incident, but I can't remember the faces of my father and sister.

In the distance there is a distinctive sound of tanjidor music accompanying ondel-ondel buskers who walk around while prancing, on the other hand, the raftil community is gathering with each other, respectively, there are also some brands that are promoting, not to miss the street musicians who are entertaining pedestrians.

The noise around me did not make the void that I had been trying to fill, but now began to open again. I still feel the emptiness and longing left by two important figures in my life.

“What Bi will remember me if we meet?” I looked at the Boss who was also looking at me, “Or maybe I who no longer recognized him?” I was breathing out thinking about that possibility. “Bi is still too small to remember me, and I .. yes, 20 years is enough to make their shadows start to fade.”

The boss still stared at me, before he finally said. “Maybe, even if you do not remember each other's faces, you will immediately know each other .. he said our hearts and subconscious can immediately recognize the important people in our lives even though they have been separated for a long time.”

I fell silent before finally smiling while nodding my head.

“Do you not know where they are?”

I shook my head. “No, after that day I never again received any news, other than they returned to Indonesia leaving me and Mamah both in Osaka.”

“Have you ever tried to find your sister via social media? I mean everybody these days must have a social make-up? Especially young people.”

I sipped my minumality then nodded. “Iya, Siska and I often search for Bi's name on various social media, but no, maybe she uses another name.”

“Can be.”

“Do you know that he has a sister besides you?”

“Tahu, but Mamah always sad every time I remember Bi, because that's how much I never discuss about Bi in front of Mamah.”

And speaking of Siska and Oka, where are they? So far we have not returned, but we have agreed to meet again here.

My phone vibrated indicating a message was coming in. I casually opened the message that turned out to be from Siska. For a while I was silent reading the message, before finally cursing.
