Perfect Duda
Rotating Back

Just arrived but the sky was dark. The house lights are bright. The girl had just been touring her childhood home which she had left behind for many years. There was just a little change, much better than before.

He went to the balcony and there was no change there. A fairly large round table surrounded by four black rattan chairs with gray pillows. It's the same as it was six years ago. The place that used to be a private tutoring between Aiden, Ailee, and also Binar. Rotate back the memory that has been imprinted.

He smiled bitterly and sat his body in one of the chairs. Shadow how Binar explained the material, advising him if lazy or less careful in working on the problem replayed.

"Here it seems." exclaimed Aksa approached his daughter who was daydreaming on the balcony of her room. The chair was moved until he was squeezed into his daughter's chair.

"remembering Binar?" aksa asked frankly as she stroked Ailee's head.

"What the hell, Pah? Don't fuck around. Oh yeah, Mama where? Not done yet make macaroni schotel?" Ailee as much as possible switched the conversation. He does not want the past to fill the present.

Ailee was about to leave the balcony but her papa blocked her hand and asked to remain there. The atmosphere was suddenly serious, the face of his papa was also not ridiculous, it seemed like there was something important.

"If papa had said something in the past would you have been angry with me?" aksa asked, looking at her daughter's bead.

"What indeed? Why would Ailee be angry? Hasn't Ailee never been angry with me?"

Aksa nodded, it was true that her daughter had never been angry all this time. But for this matter most likely Ailee will be disappointed and angry with him.

"Papa used to meet Binar..."

"I don't want to hear about him anymore, Pah. I'm going downstairs to see Mama."

Not paying any more attention, Ailee stepped out of her papa. No matter the grandeur of the middle-aged man. Hearing the name of Binar called his soul shaking violently. The tightness again filled his chest cavity. A name he had not heard for a long time and was trying hard to forget.

There is no more feeling than a teacher to his student.

Binar's words were recalled. The words that made Ailee so fragile. Torn of his heart, broken into pieces. Though he knew if Binar also had more sense of a teacher towards his students. Ah, nevermind. Just leave everything.

...*****...

The lights are brightly lit. The house is quite luxurious it looks lonely because it is only inhabited by three people. A man was sitting in the living room examining the work of his students. The paper and pen were tightly grasped, the coffee in the cup was still half left, accompanying him overtime tonight.

"Father.." shouted the seven-year-old with a panda doll in his arms toward the father.

"Hey, Honey. Why aren't you asleep?" ask her to the princess while stroking and peeling her forehead.

"Clarissa can't sleep..."

"Clarissa wants a fairy tale mama. When did mom come home? Why so long? Didn't you miss Clarissa?"

His son's question that was always like that every night made him grimace. Shortness of feeling again, want to tell the truth if his biological mother does not care about him, but it is impossible to do. Therefore, Binar always showed a photo of Ailee to Clarissa and told her that it was her mother.

"Mama is coming home soon. The important thing is Clarissa must be a submissive child, pinter, and not naughty," said Binar. He loved a child who was not his own flesh. Various things were given because of his affection for the boy.

"The shine! The sparkle!" yelled Miss Jasmine.

Binar and Clarissa were astonished to see the middle-aged woman rush down the stairs with a cell phone in her hand. The look on his face was gleeful but also tucked into panic, not being clearly interpreted.

"Mama's WhatsApp number has been blocked with Ailee!" said Bu Melati girang found Ailee contacts that can already be seen profile photo and last seen.

Since last incident, Ailee did cut off contact with Bu Melati and Binar. All of their social media accounts were blocked under the pretext of being quick to forget.

Just contact Binar and then open his phone. WhatsApp was the first to open. The profile photo is clearly visible, revealing the beautiful face of Ailee. While Facebook, Instagram, and so on can also be seen. Glassy sparkles when opening Ailee's instagram post. He had seen it all through his friend's account. But this time he opened it with his own account, very heartwarming.

"Did Ailee forgive my mistakes, Mah?" lirih Binar's.

"What's wrong, Pah?" clarissa asked confused since she saw her grandmother and happy father.

A little explanation and spiked with lies so that Clarissa did not think anything. The child had fallen asleep, while two adults were still engrossed in cell phones. Shaking their own hands, eager to contact Ailee and inquire about her news. Type and delete. Until an hour has passed. No one dared to send a message.

"Well, Ailee's got an Instagram story!" chirp Binar so excited to get a notification.

Ms. Melati immediately approached and looked at Binar's phone because she did not have an Instagram account. They highlighted a photo of the night view from the second floor with a caption, bubble,

...Winter in Japan always makes me miss the hot weather in Jakarta. And this time I feel it again, Hello Jakarta, I'm back!...

"Ailee's home..." Ms. Melati likes to read the caption from Ailee's instastory.

"When did he come home? I passed by his house this morning there was no sign of his return."

Binar was always at Ailee's house, just passing by or asking the house worker about Ailee's news. Sometimes asked with Mang Dudung who was always at the security guard post, and sometimes also asked Bi Mina every morning when she was sweeping the page. And all of them no one knows the condition, but Binar always thought if they were silent about the news Ailee.

It's hard enough for Binar to get the girl's news. All of his best friends, including his brother, Aiden, are always silent and shy. And this time he'll make sure the girl doesn't avoid him anymore. He will catch it as soon as possible if necessary. However, does Ailee still have the same taste as before? Or has that feeling been eroded by time? Binar hopes to be anxious, if there is no more feeling then he will mengikhlaskan it.

"I will try to see him tomorrow, Mah," said Binar with earnestness.

"Yes soon you have to apologize and say that you actually love her." Full support is always given, Ms. Melati was very fond of Ailee who was kind, not arrogant, and very adorable.
