Love for Adita
Love for Adita 5

Papi just nodded. " Gift from mami last year." Papi weak.

" Why just one?" Many papi shirts bought by mami."

" Shirt, shoes, sandals, watches, all papi goods you can sell. The money will be put into the savings book. Papi doesn't need that stuff anymore." Papi answered my curiosity.

" Papi wants a new life. "

I began to understand, without much question I began to take care of the things I needed. I want to be like papi, start a new life without the shadow of mami and mas Dani. If papi is still carrying the mami gift, another thing with me, I do not bring any items related to mas Dani and mami. I want to move on, I want to live a normal life without the shadow of past wounds.

***

Today we occupy a new rented house. There is sadness and haru.

" Papi's happy?"

" Yes, papi's happy. It's much better."

The house is much simpler than our previous home. There are two rooms in this house, one for papi and one for me.

I invited Papi to see the room he was going to occupy.

" This is papi's room" I said. I purposely gave this master room to papi. This room is much more spacious compared to the second room in this rented house.

" Later we install AC yes, so that the papi sleep can be sound. Not too hot." Saying again.

Papi just nodded.

" Which room are you in?" Ask papi suddenly.

I scratched my head that wasn't itchy. " Ehm. there pi." I pointed at the next room.

Papi walked towards the next room.

" This one is just Papi."

" Loh, what's that?"

" Papi is old, papi is not much. The main room is for you, you need more comfort than papi."

" Str..."

" Sttts. Papi is content to enjoy life. It's time you enjoyed your life." Saying papi without wanting to be denied again.

Uh. Papi's... I am moved to be.

Papi is the best.

As time went on, me and Papi began to enjoy life. As time went on, my dad and I started to forget about my mom and Dani.

In this house we lived alone. To eliminate it for me also started working in a company. While papi enjoy his life by taking care of the household.

Every morning I would make breakfast for both of us. Papi will be angry if I make breakfast.

My job is to do laundry, sometimes papi does his own laundry. He said he didn't want to make me hard. Papi also took care of the house like a woman. This house is shiny without any dust attached.

***

Today I get my first salary, there is a sense that I finally can enjoy my own sweat.

I took the initiative to take Papi on a weekly night. We haven't breathed the air at night.

I called papi, heard the voice of papi on the other end of the phone.

" Pi, get ready. Be picked up again. Don't cook. We eat out." I'm excited.

After papi agreed, I immediately turned off the phone. Soon the time to go home will come, I will pack up.

" Dit, it's so exciting to go home." Rachel my best friend looked in wonder.

" Want to wakuncar ya.." Meli chimed in while giggling.

" Ishe what the hell." I grumbled to myself.

" Where are you angry, where are you going?" Meli nudged my elbow.

" There's an appointment." Sahutku relax.

" Know dong..." Rachel pleads spoiled.

" Do I want to know you?" I joke about Rachel.

" Is your bokap still good-looking huh?" Serli the lemot came chattering.

" Still dong." Gurauku while giggling.

" Want to be your stepmother." Serli started ngawur.

" Yuuuu. Want to." Rachel and Meli shouted together.

Serli only smiled shyly as he scratched his head.

" I went first... Bye.." I waved to my three best friends and co-workers.

It didn't take long, I've arrived home. Papi was waiting for me on the front porch of the house with an amazingly cool look.

" Masha Allah. papi is very handsome."

" Yes, papi."

" Thank you." Papi percaya.

"Pi, I'm gonna take a shower. Smell of asem." I immediately flirted about going into the room without waiting for approval from papi.

It didn't take long.

" Taraa... Let's go papi."

I'm piggybacking on my beloved matic motorcycle. The matic motor I bought from the sale of my used goods.

We sang along the way.

" God.thank you for making Papi happier." I said in my heart.

We chose to sit in the park square of this city. Many merchants sell food. The atmosphere this week is so crowded. The moonlight of the stars adorned the clear sky tonight.

We chose to sit down on a mat. I ordered my favorite chicken meatball noodles and a glass of sweet iced tea while papi ordered a plate of satay and a glass of warm sweet tea.

" What do you know about papi?"

" I'm payday, pi." Honestly answered.

" Don't wastefully dong, in the tube." Say papi while eating satay in front of him.

" Once in a while papi." I said with a smile.

After the stomach was full, me and papi began to enjoy the music from the street buskers.

" It turns out we haven't been anywhere in a long time." Papi whispered.

" Yes, pi. Papi's happy?"

" Yes." Yeah." Papi sahut.

The night the air gets colder. Papi is starting to feel uncomfortable.

" We go home yuk, pi." Invite me while holding papi's old hand."

"Are you satisfied?"

I just nodded. Papi's health is much more important than my feelings.

We arrived at a parking lot, accidentally my eyes caught two figures who had been present in my life.

A middle-aged woman with a bulging belly like a pregnant woman is sitting friendly with a man who once tied a promise of loyalty to me.

I stared at the sight before me.

" Why stop, Dit?" Papi looked at me in wonder.

Papi's eyes that begin to be myopic if not using glasses make papi can not see clearly the scenery in front of him.

The middle-aged woman was being fed by her husband. For months closing communication with them, it turned out that God had destined me to meet the two traitors.

They haven't noticed me and Papi. They are absorbed in their world.

" Dit.." papi nudged my body.

I rubbed the watery end of my eyes.

Damnit. The wounds of the past have not healed.

" Where's the bike?" Papi started fretting impatiently seeing me just standing still on the spot.

How can I take my bike if I have to pass two traitors?

I took a deep breath, hoping that the chest tightness would decrease.

I hold papi's hand, we walk side by side. I pretended not to see them. But...

" Okay."

Papi's feet tripped over a rock. Thankfully, the papi did not fall.

The two traitors stopped their eating. Staring at us.

I pretended to be ignorant and didn't know them.

" Papi ain't papa?" Ask slowly.

" No, but it's like it's bleeding, Dit."

Papi ducked down to look at his feet.

" Right Dit, bleed." Papi.

" Let's treat it at home, pi." Fast Sahutku. I immediately picked up the motor beside mami and mas Dani.

" Sailor..."

Yuk lives a trace in the comment column yes...
