My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Letting Go To See It Happy

"Go rest don't mind this, I can handle it myself."

Leo took out a tissue box and placed it near him. He pulled some sheets for him to use to clean up the instant noodle spill he had cooked.

Leo was hungry but he did not dare to ask Syera to cook something for him. When Syera said she intended not to go home Leo was anxious and did not want it to happen. Especially when you see Syera directly into the room because she is sleepy and wants to rest. Leo didn't want to disturb Syera like he usually does.

Leo who has never done work in the kitchen took the initiative to cook instant noodles. There's nothing easier than making that food that Leo thought of.

His hands are a little gamang when placing a pot of water on the stove that he had first turned on, inversely proportional to people who are accustomed to cooking.

Each instruction in the packaging becomes a guide tool to cook the instant noodles. At first everything went smoothly until when Leo was about to put the egg into the pot accidentally there was a fragment of the egg shell that came in. Using a tablespoon Leo tried to remove the fragments of the egg shell so as not to mix with instant noodles.

Because less careful when pulling the fragments of the egg shell was a spoon held Leo stuck on the handle of the pot until finally fell to the floor.

Unfortunately, an already hungry stomach must be delayed to fill.

"Will Leo spend all that tissue to clean it all up?"

"Then, do I have to wear my shirt?"

"There's a washcloth, brother. Can't you see that there's a washcloth on top of that hanger?" point Syera on a washcloth that hangs not far from the sink position.

"Why so nagging me, I told you I could take care of all this. So get in the room. The washcloth is damp."

Leo pulled out a few more sheets of tissue to clean the floor.

"Yes, if you don't want to wear a washcloth. As Leo said earlier, wear your brother's clothes to clean it."

Syera was upset that Leo was so stubborn, not to say. He goes back into his room to let Leo finish his own business.

"Why did he get so angry, actually that was who he was out there," Leo grumbled. "Did he think I didn't dare?"

Leo opened all the buttons on his shirt and took them off. Without thinking he used a shirt instead of a tissue to clean the floor.

Syera could not bear to remember the way Leo cleaned the floor earlier, by being forced out but he was surprised by Leo's behavior that was completely out of his mind.

"Sister!" pekik Syera sees Leo bare-chested. "Why not wear clothes?"

"Don't he just tell me to clean this with my shirt?"

Leo lifted and showed his white shirt that had now changed color and greasy, not to mention the noodles attached to the shirt.

The breath of Syera hunts with her eyes so sharp that she sees Leo.

"Better brother Leo stay in this kitchen now!"

Leo shuddered in horror at the gaze of Shera. He immediately put the shirt in his hand into the trash can near the bathroom and left Syera.

Seeing Leo had disappeared from before him, Syera immediately cleaned the floor and mopped him.

He took two packs of instant noodles and two eggs for him to cook. Syera believes Leo must be hungry.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Soon Leo opened the door of his room when he heard a knock. Leo had taken a shower and changed his clothes.

"Is he still hungry? If so, let's eat."

Leo followed and followed Shera from behind. Syera put a pot of instant boiled noodles on the dining table that she had placed a napkin under it.

"Here," handed Leo a cutlery and tablespoon. "Eat this too" said Syera putting a plate filled with rice in front of Leo.

Syera took a bowl and spoon for him. He sat down with Leo.

"Let's eat," let Leo take it for first.

Instead of taking his own, Leo lifted his plate asking Syera to take it for him.

"Aren't they supposed to serve the older ones?"

Syera complies and puts a spoonful of instant noodles into Leo's plate.

"Again, for the next Leo take his own."

The two had dinner when the time had passed from ten o'clock at night. Although only instant noodles but because they are hungry make them eat so greedy.

"I'm done" said Leo putting down his spoon. A glass of water was also drunk.

Leo moved to the sofa and turned on the television. Syera who had also finished eating immediately washed their cutlery.

Today feels so long to pass Syera but comparable with the happiness he can get. Although it was too late Syera still cleaned her body that had been sultry all day. He washed his face, which was flooded with tears of joy all day.

While Syera in the bathroom Leo who had turned on the television was even cool to play his phone. His index is busy raising his phone screen.

His fingers stopped while reading a quote that caught his attention.

"Not the happiness you give but only the pain for you and him if there is the word ego in that love. To let go of it to see it happy is love"

Leo repeatedly read the quote until every word that is written is attached to his head. He seemed to be aware of his current situation, what he felt for Syera.

Leo leaned his body against the sofa, closed his eyes and thought of the quote again.

"Are you asleep?" ask Shera slowly.

Leo opened his eyes and looked at Syera without speaking.

"I just want to rub this into Leo's big brother's hand" said Syera showing the burn ointment.

Syera sat down beside Leo and grabbed her flushed hand.

"Is this because of the spillage of noodles that you were cooking?"

Leo nodded his head confirming the question of Shera.

"It will hurt a little" Syera said as she slowly began applying the ointment to Leo's hand. "More times I have to say that Leo's brother needs something. Even if I don't have better order food from the outside."

There was no response from Leo, he was still busy thinking about a quote that was now swirling in his head. Leo turned to Syera beside him, looking at the girl's face fixed.

"Are you so bothered by the confession I made? Did you really think about not coming back here like you said before? Am I being so selfish, hem?"

"According to sister?"

"Hem... Thank you," pulled his finished hand on the ointment by Syera. "I'll try to forget it. Sorry, I should have said that from yesterday."

"meaning? What exactly is Leo saying?"

"As you said, let's assume everything I said and what happened since the pool never existed. Hem... Let's do it like that" said Leo throwing his face from Syera.

"But, brother-"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything I've done" Leo asked. His voice was so heavy when he said it.

"Why did Leo suddenly change his mind?"

Syera's phone in her room rang, distracting Syera. He saw the clock on the wall almost midnight and no one usually contacted him that late.

Syera went into her room and picked up the incoming call.

Mommy's? I don't usually call this hour.

"Hello, mi? Tumben's calling-"

Syera was silent before she finished asking. The look on his face changed, his heart trembled, his knees feeling numb and unable to support his body.

Every word he heard from the phone was like a joke he didn't want to hear.

Syera's phone fell down followed by Syera collapsing on the floor.

"Mr...!" shouts Hysterical Shera.

The hysterical sound from Syera's room shocked Leo who was still sitting on the sofa. He ran to see the girl in the room.

"Why you?"

Syera stood up and took her phone. He broke through to Leo who was standing at the door of his room. He ran out of the apartment without wearing footwear.

"Sheera... Where are you going?"
