KANAYA AND THE TROUBLEMAKER
PARTING

Andra's smile seemed to catch Naya who had not been awake for two weeks had tried to wait, but there seemed to be no time left.

"Nay I'm leaving. Hold on I believe you can heal." Andra's head bowed feeling the pain and tightness of her chest.

Suppose that Andra can tell others if he is not good at all there is a burden that he bears, but always covers all his wounds.

"Nay, I want a story, in your eyes I have a perfect family, but that's not true" Andra said stammering.

Not many knew other than her parents, her sister Alisha, and the nuclear family. Andra's presence was never accepted by anyone, both from the Papi family and Mami.

If it wasn't for Mami maybe Andra had been dumped because she was just the daughter of her Papyri.

"Papi loves a woman, but Papi's family does not approve, match with Mami whose seeds, weights and bebetnya clear, then I present a disaster." One hand of Andra closed her eyes because she felt so guilty.

It is not her will to be born, but if not born Mami and Alisha may be much happier.

"I'm gone, don't know if we can meet again." Andra put a bracelet in Naya's hand as a birthday present.

Andra stepped out not seeing if Naya's hand moved, Andra's head turned towards her who was still lying.

In front of the door Arvin and Agra were waiting, seeing Andra's eyes red, a look of sadness in his eyes.

"Gays, there's something I want to talk about, maybe you already know," Andra stepped into the waiting chair followed by her two best friends.

"What's Dra?" ask Arvin

"I'll fly out soon, and I won't return." Andra's head bowed helplessly staring at the faces of her two friends.

"Suddenly, it can't be delayed until we graduate?" Agra nodded at Andra who was clenching her hands.

"It's been a long time, but I'm trying to hold it. Two weeks ago it was decided to leave, I stayed because I wanted to see Naya wake up, but now I can't wait anymore." Unable to hold back tears dripping on the floor, Andra brushed off her tears.

Arvin's head turned the other way, no one spoke out of sadness, since childhood the three were always close friends.

"Yes, can we come over there, or can you go home?" Avin pulled Andra's shoulder to write down the address.

"Yes Dra, we can still communicate, contact us if you are lonely, if any time we will surely come." Agra could not hold back her tears.

Andra did not answer could only silently feel the tight embrace of her two best friends who wanted to always hold her hand.

''When Dra departs, we will deliver." Arvin rubs his back.

"Don't take me, don't meet me, and don't call me, if you do that then I can't possibly leave." Andra smiled asking the two not to be sad.

Andra steps closer to Naya's nursery, asking Agra and Arvin never discuss about her, no need to tell Naya anything.

"I hope Naya will wake up soon, and another one ... I'm taking Alisha."

"It's safe with us, you don't have to worry" Agra said trying to smile.

"Vin, don't fight because I'm not around, Gra don't be so diligent you won't be as smart as Arvin. You two take care of yourself, thank you for being best friends." Andra's tears trickled back to make Arvin and Agra also shed tears.

Both of Andra's hands stretched out, hugging her two close-knit companions not wanting to part.

Prilly and Alisha's cries were heard hugging each other because they could not see Andra was leaving them all.

"Dra take care of yourself, get there give the news so we know you're not straying anymore." Arvin waved his hand.

"Prilly, stay up. Don't give up."Andra's smile was seen staring at the woman who always accompanied Arvin.

Andra's hand stretched out, clasping her sister's hand to go home immediately. The crying eyebrows tight did not want her brother to leave.

"Don't cry, let's go home." Andra showed comforting despite holding back tears.

Along the way Alis cried, her brother was so evil because he covered her sadness when she was not strong.

"When or later today will come, you must be independent and no longer act, no one will defend you" Andra said slowly.

"For so long Brother never defended Eyebrow, but Brother Agra did. Brother Andra every day just scolded Eyebrow, snapped and behaved violently, Brother wants Eyebrow to hate, but Alis is affectionate with Brother." Tight cries could be heard hugging Andra's arms not letting go.

Andra's hand rubbed her sister's head, asking to stop crying before Mami asked a lot.

Andra did not want when she went many tears, she just moved the country to find a company and education instead of going to the battlefield.

"Sister Andra has not said goodbye to Brother Naya."

"Why should I do it, we don't need to talk about it anymore. I don't want any tears." Andra was convinced of his decision.

"Sister Andra left before expressing his feelings, Brother Andra is stupid." His eyebrows rubbed his tears.

Andra's laughter was heard, there were no feelings that he had to express, free to love each other if one day love would be hindered.

"I was born into the world out of love, but I don't want any child to be born and have the same fate as me." Andra's head shook his head as his family would not approve of a couple chosen in the name of love.

Until Andra grows up, her Papi's family never looks at her as grandchildren do, and both of Mami's parents always say she's the daughter of the night.

"Mommy always says you can't take heart, Grandma and Grandpa's words are just a passing wind" persuaded Alis to make her brother firm.

"Once or twice to three times I can understand, but until this moment their attitude is still the same. Brother Andra doesn't expect more, it's a fact that I'm a destroyer of happiness." Andra gave a smile that was much stronger than Alis had expected.

Humiliated others can be forgiven, can be beaten and can be reciprocated and forgotten, but humiliated family pain no cure.

Enough Andra who feels it, does not want to go through the same pain as the Papinya, Andra prefers not to love.

"Sister Andra comes in first, you don't show sorrow to Mami" Andra said.

Footsteps Andra entered her room through the back door, climbed onto the balcony and entered her room.

Andra's eyes stared at her room, stuffing some clothes into her suitcase, staring at the photo of friendship stored in a drawer.

'Goodbye, thank you for accompanying me all this time in joy and sorrow." Andra closed her suitcase because she was going to sleep the last time in her room.

A knock on the door sounded, Andra pretended to be asleep, Mami stepped in to see her son close his eyes.

The suitcase was prepared because Andra was about to leave, leaving him for a long time.
