Sweet Night: The Ep. 36

Two people were on the porch. They are Arini and Artha. They wait for the real thing to come out of the house.

It's 20:00 Wib. Arini deliberately asked for Artha's company to Hakiki's house because today is December 29, 2011 and that means tomorrow is her best friend's birthday.

Arini deliberately wants to give a gift to Hakiki tonight. Because tomorrow, Sunday, he has a schedule with the family to go out of town.

Actually, Arini wants to celebrate his birthday with Hakiki on December 30th tomorrow but Papa and his Mama and Artha will take a vacation out of town together and he must put his family first.

I came out of the house with a surprised face.

"Cats... Brother Artha," he said. He slightly bowed his body when he saw Artha but he felt amused when he did that.

Artha who was sitting with an authoritative attitude, just nodded. Quiescent.

Artha's behavior that makes Hakiki ticklish. Because at the time when the older youth of her put on a serious and dignified face, Hakiki immediately recalled the silliness of Artha he had seen. Seeing an expressionless face is not suitable if someone has known his true nature.

"Happy Birthday, Ki" Arini said. Stand up and embrace the Truth and embrace it.

"Well...what's going on, Rin?" ask Right. "My year is tomorrow" he explained.

"Yes, tomorrow I can't celebrate a birthday with you" Arini said.

"There's no occasion to celebrate my birthday tomorrow."

"Yes. I-i understand. I mean it can't be like last year, we go together to celebrate your birthday" Arini explained.

I will not reply to Arini's statement anymore. Sitting in the guest chair, between Arini and Artha.

Arinipun sat down.

Artha was silent. Behave like a bodyguard.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing special. Just watching tv doang, "the real truth.

"Sir Artha how are you?" ask the Truth.Take to the right.

"Well," Artha replied with a small smile.

Actually, again - again a small laugh at the standard expression Artha issued.

"Ki, here's a gift for you. Happy 16th birthday, yes" Arini said. Proposing and giving pink plastic packaging.

The truth welcomes the gift of Arini with a flat face and a slightly open mouth.

"Oh."

The young man opened the plastic and looked inside. There is an object wrapped in gray dominant wrapping paper. It was rectangular in shape with a width of about two inches and a length of about five inches.

"What's this?" ask Right. His eyes grew slightly looking at Arini. His mouth is slightly open.

"Later open the card and you know how to use it yourself" Arini said.

"How to use?" mumam Hakiki's. Put the package on the guest table. He did not digest Arini's last sentence too much. Just muttered with question marks and once passed in his mind.

"So I want to go to your house, alone doang take a car, but Kak Artha want to nemeni. Worry about me he said," explained Arini.

Artha spontaneously widened her eyes towards Arini.

I turned to Artha. His mouth is half open.

"Yes. I'm worried about my little sister coming out at night like this" Artha said.

Arini laughed at her brother's behavior.

The real look with a flat face, still towards Artha. Then, "Oh. For a moment. I make drinks first," said Hakiki arrived - arrived. He just realized it.

Artha glared and moved a little of her head. Both of his lips were also slightly manyuning. "This kid is so weird" he thought. "He didn't respond to what Arini just said."

"This, all of you bring it in" suggested Arini to the Essence. Giving another package in the form of a rectangular box. There's a Bakery reading in the box of cookies. Arini accidentally bought it while on the way to the True Home.

The box that Arini was proffering from, has now changed hands to the Essence. He knew that the contents in the box were birthday cakes for him. Get up from your seat and go into the house.

Not long after the young man came out. It turned out that his mother told him to accompany the guests outside and the woman would prepare food and drinks for them.

On a bright and starry night, Arini tells more about her childhood with Artha. Tells about his childhood in New Zealand. He and Artha settled long in New Zealand in childhood. At the time of the 1st grade of SD, he wanted to settle in Jakarta, that was what was asked to his parents. Maybe too tired to move again.

They tell stories while enjoying a cup of tea and cake brought by Arini.

Arini also told me, since settling in Jakarta, she and Artha often left behind their parents. Sometimes six months have just met. It's Mbok who takes care of himself and Artha. Sometimes he feels homesick with his parents in childhood. But since meeting with Hakiki, he has a new spirit. He told her in front of Artha.

Artha was silent to Arini's story. Sometimes, Artha also felt sad when she saw her sister feel lonely. Especially since High School until now he is busy with his routine.

On the other hand, Hakiki who was sitting between the two of them, in a different seat, the young man listened to his best friend's story well, occasionally trying to comfort Arini with a small joke.

The brother and sister left the house when the clock was almost 11. They talked, joked and laughed for a long time.

The truth of course was not rigid anymore with Artha's presence among them, so Arini also felt happy about it.

Arini and Artha say goodbye to the two True parents and they walk towards the front of the house. Arini's car is parked right in front of the Hakiki house. He already knew the condition of the alley would be quiet if it was night.

The truth looked at the backs of the two people close to his heart, at this moment. Arini, who had been her friend for four years, and Artha, who saved her life as a child. Fire Archers who have always been revered as idol heroes until now.

She smiles. Her lips flattened, a sweet impression engraved on her gentle face.

*******

The handsome-faced young man sat beside the bed made of iron. His hand grabbed the pink-colored bundle. Open it and then remove an object wrapped in wrapping paper dominant in ash.

Reach the object and pull it out of the plastic bag, placed on the bed, right in front of his sitting position. Slowly, open the wrapping paper. It was box-shaped, about 5 inches long.

He opened the wrapper carefully. The plaster after plaster that was plastered was released by him. Try not to damage the wrapping paper as a wrapping object.

And succeed. All the plaster has been removed. Then open the wrapping paper slowly. Several times, unfold the wrapping paper and finally seen the contents inside the brownish-white box made of wood.

Frown. His large hand raised the box-shaped object close to his face. Then try to open with both hands. But it didn't work. The box is tightly closed.

His eyes were fixed toward the hemisphere of the box on the front side. There's a small hole there. The hole is shaped like a keyhole, not just a round hole.

Take the plastic that became the initial wrapping of the gift. His hands are in plastic. Trying to find something, but it didn't work. Finally, turn the plastic mouth downward. Maybe something came out and fell out of the plastic, he thought, but it didn't fit the estimate. There's nothing - what.

His forehead is back. He looked at the brightly colored box. His eyes were full of curiosity.

"Maybe Arini forgot to give me the key to this box" he murmured softly.

He is the Truth which is dated December 30, 2011 tomorrow, even 16 years old.

Basically put a brownish-white box on the study table on the side slowly. Next, open the ash-coloured blanket that was on the bed and insert both legs. The next movement is to break down the back that begins to look field and large.
