Me And You For Us
Essay 1.

Ms. Selvine, who had just returned home from the boutique, was surprised to see Kandara sitting quietly in the living room unaware of her presence.

"Daraa, what's up..? Why are you staying there by yourself.?" Bu Selvine asked, as she saw Kandara sitting in the living room. Kandara was surprised to hear the voice of Bu Selvine.

"Oooh, Mama's home.? Mama's been eating yet.?" Said Kandara, standing up and approaching Ms. Selvine.

"Mama has eaten, but please make hot tea for Mama yes, Mama clean the body first." Say Miss Selvine and go straight to her room.

Kandara went to the kitchen to make hot tea for Ms. Selvine and herself. He wanted to drink hot as well to calm his heart. After he finished making tea, he sat down at the dining table while waiting for his mother.

Ms. Selvine came and sat in front of Kandara while drinking tea, Ms. Selvine noticed Dara's unusual face.

"Daraa, what's up..? your face is pale, you look unfocused and confused..." Ask Mrs Selvine. Kandara took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Look Ma, we called Darel's parents." Kandara said slowly.

"Oooh, how do they respond to you and the kids.?" Ask Mrs Selvine, with a cautious heart. Worried that Darel's parents didn't take Kandara well.

"Good, Ma.. They are good to us. They just said they'd come to Dara's room tomorrow." Kandara said slowly.

"Gosh.., why did you just shut up and just say it now.?" Ask Mrs Selvine, surprised.

"Because they just said that, Ma." Kandara said slowly.

"Did Darel never tell you all this time.?" Ask Miss Selvine. Because according to what he noticed, Darel is not a person who is as dense as ever.

"Or, Ma.. Last month." Kandara answered slowly, because with her mother's question, Kandara felt wrong.

"Gosh, Dara. What the hell are you thinking.? Right now, you just heard what Darel said and did it. Don't interpret it anywhere with your own mind." Said Mrs Selvine, firmly.

"You should know, you're not alone anymore. Darel has learned to listen to what he says. Don't think of anything else than what he says, in your mind." Said Mrs Selvine, emotion.

"Mama's seen and heard, Darel's never spoken that is not clear. He never spoke spiced to suck up the ears. You should be able to understand when he's talking seriously.." Said Mrs Selvine, astonished by Kandara's attitude.

"Because you're thinking everywhere, finally what's been clearly said to be happening, you're panicking and confused yourself."

"So now, stop confusing that useless one. Now tell Mama. Whatever Darel says." Said Mrs Selvine looking at Kandara who was just silent.

"So Darel said, Mama doesn't have to cook. They'll be here later, and they'll order food at the nearest restaurant." Said Kandara, repeating Darel's message.

"Then now, what do you think about that.?" Ask Mrs Selvine, get anxious.

"Yaaa, when we don't prepare siih food, Ma.." said Kandara confused.

"That's what Mama said. You didn't hear what Darel said. Why did he say that, because he saw you weren't ready and panicked. That's why he gave me a solution, so you don't get dizzy." Miss Selvine understands what Darel meant.

"Is he talking to you unclear.? Or is there something you don't understand from his words.? Pantes he had to say repeatedly, when talking to her. Look and listen to him." Said Mrs Selvine, remembering Darel's attitude.

"But you are, listen to another make another. If he gets mad at you, he should." Ms. Selvine said impatiently and Kandara just silently listened.

"How many people came.?" Ask Mrs Selvine.

"Fourth, Ma.." Answer Kandara.

"So there is no need to prepare anything. Better, you find a good restaurant that matches their circumstances. Don't be ashamed in front of Darel's parents. So now find and prepare, let tomorrow not rush."

"Have you asked for a leave of absence for the next few days.?" Ask Mrs Selvine again.

"Yet,., Ma." Answer Kandara slowly.

"Oh my God, you still want to go to work or you don't think they're coming tomorrow.?" Said Mrs Selvine, and Kandara shook her head.

"No need to wait, now ask for leave.., because time continues to pass. If they arrive early in the morning, aren't you confused.?" Bu Selvine asked, increasingly anxious to see his daughter could not think clearly.

Kandara picked up her phone and sent a message to her office boss. He asked for 3 days off. Ms. Selvine kept watching her daughter.

"Now clean your room and guest room. Don't think they'll stay in a hotel. Not because they can't, but you already know your children."

"They're going to ask Darel and his parents to stay here. Mama's sure, her parents won't refuse if her grandchildren ask for it." Said Miss Selvine and Kandara nodded.

"They'll come here by themselves or ask to be picked up.?" Ask Mrs Selvine again.

"Darel asked Dara to pick him up, but without the kids, Ma."

"Surely, Darel already knows your car. Now that you're tidying up the room, Mama's gonna get all the stuff out of the car. If there's still time, you'll bring the car to wash tomorrow."

"Yeah, Ma. mksiii." said Kandara while hugging Mama. Ms. Selvine could only shake her head to see her daughter.

Moments later, Darel sent a message that they would arrive in Jakarta in the afternoon and Kandara was grateful that there was still time.

Kandara tidied up her room, guest room and house as best she could. After cleaning up and having her room tidied up, Kandara slept with Efrima in her room. In order not to make the bed cover tangle in his room.

Before going to bed, he pondered what his mother had said. He realized, the condition he was experiencing at this time because he could not understand Darel properly.

He worries too much about things that are not necessarily going to happen later on. As Darel said.

'he is learning to understand us, I should also be learning to understand his thoughts. Not just stay in place with my own thoughts.' Inner Kandara.

'If I don't change, Darel might act like Mama nagging me short lengths without tone. Though he was already tired out there, still had to quarrel with me for simple things.' Kandara.

'Looking at both his parents and their surroundings earlier, it seems like his parents are not from the common people.' Inner Kandara. Then Kandara looked at Darel's social media, but there was no information about his family.

It turns out I don't really know Darel and his family. Mommy asked: 'Do I know Darel.'

'I think I've known him very well all along. He is very different to what Melo looks like. He's good, he's good. Nice and warm, too.. But there is another side that will not be seen if not met directly with him.'

'Actually, Mama, she's not stale when it comes to anything serious. It is evident from his attitude towards children. No one doubts that he loves his children.'

'But he was always firm in determining things. Efraim only realized that, so when Darel said he wouldn't turn off the phone, his daddy would. Finally Ephraim had to tell the truth.'

'He is not angry, blindly. But if something bothered him, he would not let it go. He'll finish it off and be calm.' Kandara continues to burn.
