Happy Reading

Day after day changed without anything changing in Varka's life, however hard he tried to think there was a result still Nil, there was no change from her parents and it was normal for her. In fact he has lived for 15 years with the pain that continues to be present, He wants to try to hate his Family but can not.

"Sir." Call Gibran to Varka sitting in the back yard alone

Varka just looked at it without any intention of answering. He is very affectionate with this Brother but on the other hand he is also upset because he continues to be compared.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Ask Gibran

"Not yet"

"Why? Eat first, I know it by noon. Not good nunda meal time, ntar sick again" said gibran while thrusting a plate of fried rice

Varka looked at Kakanya confused, what her brother had just brought her some food.

"More..."

"Will you bring me something to eat??" Ask Varka

"Yes, you haven't eaten yet. Just eat ya"

Varka received a plate of fried rice from her sister with a sparkling smile, she was very happy because after so long her brother rarely noticed her.

"Thank you brother"

"Yaudah, my dear sister, don't stay out of you"

"Yes." Yeah."

Gibran stepped his foot in leaving Varka who was smiling happily. This is what sometimes makes Varka confused with his family, They sometimes seem to care about him but the reality he sees instead they hate him. When Varka wants to try to hate them but there are small things that make him unable to do that, Because after all This is his family, where he came home and where he slept. At least mamah and papah still want to accommodate himself here it is more than enough for Varka.

After finishing eating Varka directly in and washing dishes dirty dishes, Yes this is one of Varka's duties in this house. Papa said he should be able to live independently by doing all things himself.

When you want to take a minuk in the refrigerator Varka saw a Note there that must have been deliberately kept by both parents.

°We go first for three days, you take care of the house Yes. If laper buy just eat yourself°

Varka sighed, she was left alone again in this house. Even he was never invited on vacation, mama and papa will only take ka Gibran alone without taking him. Varka sometimes thinks whether he is also the son of this family or not? Why is it never considered especially dear? Do they hate Varka that much? What did Varka do until they treated her like she was now?

There is no point in questioning the exact answer.

Varka sat on the side of the road after being exhausted from pedaling a bicycle to go around the housing complex several times, he just wanted to relieve sadness by cycling and enjoying the fresh air. But in fact he was even exhausted in the middle of the road like this, not to mention the distance to his house was still far.

"Well... Shit, why cape anyway? Very weak" said Varka

He leaned his body against the tree and closed his eyes,

"It's a drink first"

Varka opened her eyes when suddenly someone was talking to her, she stared fixedly at the face of the woman in front of her. If not wrong the woman in front of him is a woman who some time ago approached Varka on the beach

"Hi, we'll see you again" said Helsha smiling

Varka just kept quiet, he didn't know what to do now.

"This, you're thirsty right? Drink first" said Helsha again thrust his bottle

"That's... This" said Helsha annoyed and gave it to Varka directly

"Drinked..." Helsha

Varka finally received the bottle of water and drank it to the end, he could not lie to himself if he was thirsty now.

"Can I sit down?" Ask Helsha

Varka just nodded without making a sound, it felt strange when someone asked her to talk let alone care about her.

"You live in this complex too?" Ask Helsha again

Varka nodded her head again

"My name is Helsha Anatasha" said Helsha, extending her hand with a smile

Varka turned to look at Helsha who was now smiling at him, Sweet thought Varka. For the first time in Varka's life there was someone who invited him to meet

"Varka." said Varka while receiving Helsha's hand

Finally Helsha was able to get acquainted with the man she had been paying attention to, quite difficult it turned out yes

"Your name is good" he said

"Favor"

"You're sad again, aren't you.?

Varka was silent when she heard the question of the girl beside her, suddenly her heart was racing. It felt like only this time there was someone asking how she was doing

Varka dared to swear by anything, all this time no one had ever asked how she was. Even papah, mamah and brother Gibran never once asked that

Varka looked at the girl beside him with a look of disbelief

"Are you all right?" Ask Helsha back

"You're asking me about my situation?" Ask Varka

Helsha frowned when she heard the question coming out of Varka's mouth, what kind of question did Helsha think. Realizing Helsha Varka's confused gaze immediately smiled and looked straight ahead again

"I feel strange, only this time someone asked me how I am" said Varka lirih

"meaning?" Helsha's question still doesn't understand

"So you asked me to be okay or not, right?? And only this time I've heard someone bring it to me"

"Vark..."

"Thank you... Helsha?" Ask Varka to make sure

"Yes-yes my name is Helsha" he said with a smile

"Okay, Thanks Helsha"

Helsha chuckled with a smile at Varka, making Varka smile

"I'm fine, just a little sad"

Without warning Helsha immediately pinched Varka's cheek, making Varka surprised

"Ihhh gemess... Hehehe don't be sad anymore yeah I don't like to see it. You have to smile like gini" said Helsha by showing his trademark smile

Varka laughed to see it, only this time he felt like laughing so loosely without any burden

"Look, if you smile and laugh you look more handsome" said Helsha smiling

"I don't know you, but thank you" Varka said

"But now you know me?"

"Yes yes.I know you, Helsha right?"

"Yes Varka..."

Varka who heard it only smiled confusedly at the funny behavior of the woman in front of him.

I don't know how to talk this woman is different, make Varka smile and can forget what made her sad

Helsha stood up and directly pulled Varka's hand just like that

"Come..." Take Helsha

"Where?" Varun asked who was standing up as well

"Retail the bike again, Instead of sitting here. Would you like to be different with me?" Ask Helsha

Varka just smiled and nodded her head, agreeing with Helsha's invitation to ride a bike together.

"How's this? He means you've been piggybacked on me?" Ask Varka

"Yes is... All anterin I go home yes" said Helsha

"Bah... Coulda. How did you keep coming here? A walk?"

"That was me coming home from the same bookstore Kaka I, continue to accidentally squirm you. Yehudah I go down and keep your nyamperin"

"Why bother nyamperin me? Don't we know him?"

"Th bwl... I'm familiar with it, you know, let's take responsibility anterin I'm home"

Varka inevitably agreed to Helsha's request, however, this girl had been kind enough to give him a drink and willing to go down in the middle of the road to approach him.

"Come..." Take Varka

"Where am I riding?"

"Behind me is the time before me"

"Jutek is very... I want to be in front of me, if behind the fear of jatoh" said Helsha while riding on the front of Varka's bike

"Nohr..."

"Ihh. Have been given a drink also ngatain"

"And I don't tell, besides I'm used to being alone. Who told you to bother"

"It turns out you're carrying too yeah.ayo street" Helsha.

Along the way Helsha continued to talk incessantly, telling things that even Varka did not understand. Sometimes Helsha also ask to stop and capture their moments that according to historic Helsha. Although a little upset but a thin smile engraved on Varka's face, he felt his heart warm when this girl with him, although it was the first time to meet but Helsha can make himself smile and talk a lot.

"Ehhh... It's stopped!!" yell Helsha

Varka immediately braked his bike according to Helsha's orders

"This is your house?" Ask Varka

"Yes, where's your house?"

"So, we're a complex one"

"Bah... Seriousness. Fun means we can play with dong" said Helsha enthusiastically

"Main together?" Varka asked a little surprised

"Yes, we're going to be a cement now, Varka wants to be a Helsha minister?"

Varka smiled and nodded. Today he made a friend who was so good, he could see that Helsha was so sincere to him.

"Vark..." Call Helsha because seeing Varka is just daydreaming

"Hmmm..."

"why what the hell?? Denger ya Varka, I want to meet you anyway.yeah I do not know what your problem, what you have experienced so far. But one thing you should know from this moment on, if you are not alone. From now on you have me by your side Varka, there I am. So don't be sad alone, right? I want to start sharing with me now"

Varka just silently listened to Helsha's words, only this time there was someone who cared so much about him even though he had not known himself for long.

"Yes, I know what I said was a little exaggerated, but I mean it..." Helsha

"But if you don't believe in yaudah..." Helsha continued while walking to enter the house

Varka smiled slightly, He knew even very well if what the woman said was sincere.

Why yes? People we don't even know are better able to understand and understand our feelings, they care about our circumstances without even asking them to understand.

Varka immediately shouted to Helsha and told her to come back

"What?" Helsha jutek

"Ohh.. So this is the face of a Helsha?" Varun asked as he looked at Helsha's face

"Yes, why? Enchanted huh??" Chirps Helsha

Varka was silent again to hear the answer of this woman.how could her answer so unaccused and could make herself smile...

Today the Universe seems to be kind to him by bringing the figure of Helsha into his life, hopefully after this he can smile more.
