My Father Misses
Closing Event
The day is getting darker and the closing event is about to begin.The atmosphere feels so warm, the sense of brotherhood is so thick.
Neno had returned to her seat again looking goodbye to me and Atan. Like a ghost that leaves no trace.
Me and Atan are the same as ever.
Atan has not yet removed my hand from his grasp.
"Good evening by evening, my teachers and friends. Tonight, our last night here. Thank you for all the participation of friends to participate in enlivening our activities. I invite Mr. Adrian to give you two words to represent Mr. Principal. To my father, I welcome." Andi as MC.
Adrian saw the circular watch on his wrist.
"Good night all, Dear Mr. Head of State High School 01, Dear colleagues - fellow teachers and dear children. You are very happy because it turns out that the children have a great ability to exercise. Although this is only a tourist activity, you do it as well as possible. I hope you defend that. Thank you." Thank you."
Mr. Adrian's short speech our sports teacher was over.
We all applauded and cheered.
We also circled the neatly arranged wood, and the bonfire was about to begin.
The committee deliberately held campfire activities to strengthen the brotherhood,
fostering cooperation (gotong royong), adding a sense of courage and confidence, developing talent and creativity and fostering discipline for all of us.
The committee also made campfire activities so that the atmosphere became happier and freer.
The top of the acarapun closed with Dika singing.
"To close our show, we welcome Diiikkkaaaaa. To whom I have sent." Andi.
Dika also advanced to the center of the circle with embarrassment - embarrassment, scratching his head and cheeks even though it actually did not itch at all.
Understand that Dika is a shy child.
Dika picked up his guitar and started singing the song "LOVE PENT-UP - JUDIKA".
Those of us who hear it, are lulled by the guitar and the sound will make anyone who hears it fall in love.
We were getting lulled up, and we sang along with Dika..
**I have no power near you
I can't hide my heart
I've been quiet for too long
Too far away I feel
Loving you without you knowing it
Now you know everything
About my race I'm ready to accept
Whatever's gonna happen
I say enough just once
I love, love to death
And I wait until the end to take your love
I've been quiet for too long
Too far away I feel
Loving you without you knowing it
I've been quiet for too long
Too far away I feel
Loving you, wanting you without you knowing it
Whatever's gonna happen
I say enough just once
I love, love to death**.
Listening to the song sung by Dika, made my heart beat - thump and my heart became numb, in tamba Atan holding my hand tighter.
Atan turned to look at me, looking at me inside.
His gaze made me feel things I shouldn't feel and I became misbehaved, like a child who was caught stealing bread by his mother.
"Ohhhh...God help me!"
Again, again and again, and for the umpteenth time I asked God for help to help me control my heart that was getting worse.
The show went on with great fanfare, but we had to end it because tomorrow we had to get up early.
"Tomorrow at 06.00 am we all gather in the pendopo and should not be late. See you tomorrow, my friends. Good night!" Andi attended the closing ceremony.
"Atan, let go of your hand." I said begging.
"A little bit more, I want a little longer like this."
Atan finally released his hand.
"Good rest Lila, may dreams of us."
I returned Atan's words with a smile and passed into the room.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
"Dad..mother..lila go home!"
"Welcome dear, how is the activity?" Ask dad.
"Very.very..meeeennnyyeeeennnaaaannngggkkan, dad!" I said while hugging my father.
"I miss you guys. Missed my father's jokes and missed my mother's cooking."
"There shower! You smell sour" said the mother, closing her nose.
I smell my body, it smells a little sour. Maybe because it was crammed in the bus that made me sweat and produced a sour smell.
"Dah..yah, dah.bu.., Lila took a bath first yes, later we continue the story.
I rushed to the bathroom and cleaned myself up to avoid the sour smell anymore.
Instantly my mind flew away on yesterday's incident.
On the hill, when you see the sunset.
But it's not exactly sansetnya but Atan. His attitude was not as usual and inappropriate.
I also disperse my daydreams and continue my activities that had stopped.
After the shower, I don't forget to use deodorant and perfume, let the sour smell go away and never come back.
"Hmmmm.he should, search until you can!" Said dad teasing me.
"Ahhhhh.dad! Strange as hell."
"Next story." Pinta daddy.
I also told my father everything with passion. And I stopped when I remembered the sunset.
"What's wrong? How to stop anyway? Ask dad confused.
"Not really well." I lied to my dad too.
"Hmmm my son and my husband, if chatting likes to forget the time." Mother approached us.
My father and I looked at each other and smiled with indistinct smiles.
"Let's eat," take mom.
After I finished eating, I helped my mother in the kitchen. Clean all dirty spots.
"Finally.completed!" I said as I sat down and stretched my stiff muscles beside my father.
"When you control again," I asked open the conversation.
"Hmmm..when are you? Maybe the day after."
"Well.pas dong, Lila accompany ya!"
"Are you not going to school?"
"School well. But we came home early because we only received the report."
"But mom and dad left early in the morning!"
"Kan Lila can follow."
I just smiled and shook my head. Because you already know my nature. Be stubborn and do not want to lose.
"Well.bu...Lila rest first. Lila's eyes are five watts!"
"First lights? Pake the show five watts of everything!" Said my father mocking me.
I just smiled and turned right into my room.
I took my blanket and covered my body which felt heavy for holding back the drowsiness.
I fell asleep and woke up in a dream.
I was in the same garden as my dream before, many colorful flowers adorned the garden. But without mom and dad.
I personally strolled the park, walking - the way enjoying the beautiful scenery.
I saw from a distance that someone came to me and brought me a flower.
Now his face is clear.
"Ataan!"
The sunlight had penetrated my room, past the curtains covering my bedroom window.
I broke my dream, and I realized.
"That dream again, but why Atan?"
