I Love the Light
The Luft of Light

"What's up, Oma?" asked Gilang without further ado, after they were already in a closed room.

"You sit down first! it's not good to talk standing up?" melinda said as she crossed her legs.

Gilang sighed first, then landed his body sitting in front of Melinda.

"I've sat Oma. Now what's Oma saying?" ask Gilang back, who really does not like to talk too much.

"Say, now Oma wants to ask, are you in love with the Light?" Melinda stared intently at Gilang, asking for an explanation.

Gilang frowned, confused as to why Omanya asked like that.

"Why can Oma think that I'm in love with the Light?" Refresh to ask.

"You answer Oma's question first! why are you asking back, "Melinda's starting to look upset.

"What should I answer Oma? it was Oma who was supposed to answer my question, why could Oma have such thoughts?"

Melinda sighed, because she had already memorized the character of Gilang her grandson.

"Oma saw you talking very softly to the Light, a very rare thing you do to someone you just know because of that Oma became suspicious, he said, if you're already in love with that girl," explained Melinda, straightforward.

She smiled faintly, "Am I wrong to speak softly? so, if in a situation like that, do I have to stay cold to her?" ask Gilang with squeaking eyes.

"Of course not. Just that according to Oma, the tenderness that you offer is too excessive. Oma does not want, if Light until misunderstood and actually think that you have feelings for him. I think with your attitude towards Dania earlier, she quite understands that you do not love Dania. Oma was afraid that she would take advantage of this situation by trying to attract your attention" Melinda said with a serious look.

"Oma, I was being gentle like that not because I was in love with her, but because she was the son of a man who had sacrificed his life to help me from the flames, when I was a child. Either _"

"What's? she was ..." cried Melinda, cutting off Gilang's words, with eyes enlarged from a gasp of shock.

"Yes, Oma. Have papa and mama not informed Oma?" Melinda shook her head.

"So, he's the kid?" murmured Melinda, soft and confused to say what else.

"It wasn't your fault, Lang. Don't blame yourself. Perhaps it is fate, that his father should die while performing his duty," comforted Melinda, calming Gilang.

Gilang did not respond to his Omanya speech at all. The man was seen leaning his body, and closed his eyes for a moment.

"So, what's your next move? what will you do to the Light after this? does he know that you are the child that his father saved?" melinda asked again, breaking the silence that had occurred.

"I'm confused too, Oma. Mama said don't tell him anything for a while, because he still blames the little boy that his father saved. He considered that the little boy was the cause of his father's death" Gilang explained as he rubbed his face violently. The man looked really frustrated.

"Like that?" Melinda sighed heavily, as now the old woman was also confused.

"Now I'm really confused, Oma with what we have to do now. If only we were suddenly very good to tell her not to be a maid again, and give her something to work for or other good things without any cause, no matter what, he must have been suspicious and wondered why we were doing that to someone new, known,".

Melinda again sighed, not giving any response because she thought what was said by Gilang was true.

"Hmm, now you better rest first. Let us think of a way out" Melinda finally concluded, because her mind is also now deadlocked.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Meanwhile, Light was sitting contemplating on the back garden swing. The girl's gaze looked empty, and it flashed as it was already filled with clear liquid.

The girl looked gloomy as she recalled the insults after insults she had gotten, especially the ones she got today from Dania.

"Ma, Pa, I'm missing! how are you in heaven? must be happy, right? of course happy, maybe not. You two are good, you can be together now. You guys are selfish! You are only concerned with the happiness of the two of you with the heart to leave me alone this world. You don't want to bother taking care of me, so you guys leave quickly? I'm not at all naughty, ma, pa. I've been trying to be a good boy all this time. Ma, Pa I've fought to this extent, I'm strong right? but, to be honest, I'm getting tired, Mah, Pah. I'm tired of pretending I'm okay. If suicide is not a sin, I want to do it so that I can quickly catch up with you two to heaven there. What a power, if I kill myself, there I will not be able to meet you two, because it is certain I will be in hell, a different place from where you are. But, until when should I face the insults of the Ma people, Pa? I'm really tired. My lips are smiling but my heart is crying, I'm really great right, can it be like that?" light said at length, spilling all his heart. Even the tears that he tried to weave, had already managed to escape from his eyes.

"Ma, Mum. Look at me crying now! I'm not blaming you for crying? this time let me cry? this kaliiii. You two take it easy, then I will smile again." continued Light back, wiping his tears.

Without realizing it, Gilang who initially wanted to win himself to the back garden as well, heard all the overflows of Light that really touched the heart. Unconsciously the man, a speck of clear liquid dripped from the corner of his eye, and he hurriedly used his finger.
