Lily's Promise
Spruces

Lily felt wrong with Nathan's treatment. The girl drew and took her breath away many times to remove the strange feeling that had recently come from Nathan. Lily tried to keep her eyes from seeing Nathan. Lily's gaze unintentionally caught the shadow of a teenage girl sitting alone under a tree a little far away. Lily looked around. Everyone seems to be engrossed in their activities. With hesitation, Lily approached the girl.

"Hi! " greet Lily. The girl looked surprised when someone greeted her.

"I'm sorry, I surprised you? " Lily said as she took a position next to the girl.

"uh, oh, no pa-pa brother! if you want to sit here, please, I want to go in first! " The girl answered while trying to get up from her seat. But Lily immediately held the girl.

"I know you're sad again, and I know you're shying away from other people, so you're alone here! ".

" How did you know? "

"Because I've been acting like you at this time when there's trouble." The girl looked at Lily.

"Every sister has a problem? I think the brother is a happy man. Big sister, nice big brother clothes, fragrant sister, big brother must be a rich man's son, and big brother's parents must love big brother! " Tell the girl.

"Everyone must have a problem, but the way everyone responds to it is different.Some keep their own, some pretend to be strong, some need help and encouragement from others! My name is Lily, what is your name? " Task Lily.

"Lilly? lily flowers? if I were spruce." Said the girl.

"Yes my name is taken from the name of the Lily flower, because my parents love Lily flowers, me too. And you are a cypress? a good name, taken from the name of a tree? " Task Lily.

The girl nodded. "Said grandma, my name is taken from the name of a tree, fir. Tree fir that nourishes, brings peace and tranquility.

According to papa! " His eyes are bright and look sad.

"Why sad? " Task Lily.

"But the fact is I can't bring peace and tranquility to mom and dad. The proof is that they chose to separate." Said Cemara.

"Being our fate is just as cypress, my parents are divorced too! " Say Lily slowly. She looked at Lily.

"So my parents got divorced too? Whose sister lives with? "

"I chose to stay alone, not to go with my mom or dad, because it hurts to choose one of them! "

"So Lily's sister lives in the parlor too? "

"No, I live in the house of the father and mother they left for me! that you? why could it be here? " Task Lily.

"Papa and mama spruce separated, but they later married each other. Keep spruce in the same grandmother left. When grandma died, spruce had no one, papa and mama no one can invite fir, because om and aunt refused fir! Cemara was abandoned in the grandmother's house. Then Mother Nisa found the spruce, and brought the spruce to the orphanage. It's been spruce months here, but it looks like papa and mama have no mind to find fir. Maybe because they have another child! " Fir complain with teary eyes. Lily hugged the girl, she couldn't bear to hear the spruce story.

"Femara not angry with mom and dad, cypress grateful, although somehow, cypress still have a chance to meet and see them again. Compared to other friends, they had no chance to meet their parents. Well, even if sometimes the cypress feels angry, disappointed, sad! But we should still be thankful, right, brother? "

"Yes! " Answer replied Lily slowly, indeed she herself was confused as to what the response to the spruce story was. Lily was exactly the same age as Cemara when she experienced her parents' separation. But Lily admitted, she's not as strong as Cemara.

"You, why don't you join the others, why be alone here? " Task Lily. "Because today, the anniversary of the wedding of papa and mama if they are still together. In the past, when we were together, papa and mama would definitely celebrate, we could eat in restaurants or sightseeing. Cemara was just kangen at that time brother, fir wanted to remember him. That's why the fir chose to be alone here! " Lily breathed. Want to help and entertain Cemara. But he was confused as to what to do. Then silence was created between them.

"Lily, what are you doing here? " Suddenly Nathan's voice broke the silence.

"Loh, same cypress too? That's Mommy's eating, everything's gathering, only you're saying, where the phone is not picked up! " Nathan said.

"Yes, come in! we are waiting for it! " Nathan stretched out his hand to help Lily stand up. Lily did the same for Cemara. The three of them walked into the parlour.

"Well, that's Lily's sister, come on Lily here, you sit here!" Mother Nisa immediately called Lily as soon as she saw Lily enter the dining room with Nathan and Cemara. Cemara immediately sat on his stool. Nathan grabs Lily's hand, bringing the girl closer to Mother Nisa.

"Well, kids! this is Lily's sister, Lily's sister has ordered good food for us to eat today, let's say what's the same sister Lily? " Said Mother Nisa. Instantly Lily remembered something immediately she grabbed the phone that was in her sling bag.

"Ly, those kids say thank you! " Bisik Nathan's. Lily looked up at Nathan. Then look at Mother Nisa who is smiling, then the children who are waiting for Lily.

"Eh, yes, Same, I hope you like it!" Answer Lily. Then Mother Nisa let everyone enjoy their lunch. Lily is busy with her phone

"What's wrong? " Bisik Nathan's.

" I ordered all the food, but I forgot, and everything was done, I don't know who paid for it! " Answer Lily.

"Look, I paid, now you eat! " Nathan's orders.

"really? Nathan paid? Lily changed the money! "

"Ck!!! eat Lily!! " Push Nathan.

On the way home, Lily was silent. He looked empty ahead. Nathan grabs Lily's hand and grabs her for a bit. It made the girl a little surprised.

"What thoughts? " Task Nathan who's refocused on his steering.

"Strue! "

"Why Cemara? "

"So Cemara story, his mother's father separated and married, Cemara in living with his grandmother. But after his grandmother died, none of his parents would take care of Cemara. Cemara was abandoned before Mother brought here! " Lily was silent for a moment, Nathan knew where this girl was talking. He stopped his car on the side of the road.

Nathan took Lily's right hand.

"Everyone is different Lily, you can't equate yourself with anyone else. Don't think shit. Don't blame yourself. You are strong Lily, all this time you were strong in your way. Got it? Do not compare yourself to anyone. Never blame yourself for feeling weaker! Okey?! " Nathan said as he stared inside the girl. Lily was silent. Then nod. Nathan gave a faint smile. Back to the top of the girl's head. Then go back on the journey.

"Yes, how much was all my order? I will transfer. You can ask for a Nathan account or his digital wallet account can also! " Task Lily.

"When is the next counseling schedule?" Instead of answering, Nathan asked back.

"Fusa." Answer Lily.

"If so, I will accompany you! Don't refuse! Because of your next counseling, I force you to come along! " Nathan answered making Lily flabbergasted.

"Eh, don't, later Nathan bothered, I can do it myself! "

"No, no trouble! please tell me when you are counseling! or I won't let you change your order money earlier, you'll owe me a lifetime!" Threaten Nathan.
