On a clear Sunday. Gian got up early in the morning, rushed out of the house. To immediately walk out approached his Grandfather who was waiting for him on the porch of the house.
"Sorry old Kek", Gian said after locking the door.
"No papa, it's still early in the morning".
This week Gian will accompany his Grandfather to sell at Grandpa Gian's grocery store which is rented by grandfather in a traditional market that is not too far from his village.
After a few minutes of opening finally some buyers began to arrive and more and more. Until it makes Gian and his Grandpa almost overwhelmed.
"Can I help Kek?", asked a man standing next to Grandpa Gian.
Look to see the owner of the source of the voice, "Don't you Grandpa tell?", asked Grandpa Gian back to Zaka someone this man.
Smile warmly before saying, "The more you ask even the more you smile".
From a place not too far away. Gian has been watching, 'Ngapain Zaka here?", thought Gian.
Zaka began to help lift some sacks of rice of various sizes to be moved to a push trolley that would make him carry more weight to carry to his buyer's car.
This continued Zaka to do until a few hours, because the more daylight more and more visitors who buy materials in Grandpa Gian's store.
Until 3 pm in the afternoon, Grandpa Gian's store gradually deserted buyers. So that Zaka can sit quietly in a plastic chair that is available while flicking the clothes of the shirt he uses to make the wind. Even though Zaka currently only wears black T-shirts. But because too much he did the work all day made his body full of sweat, heat.
"I'm sorry, Nak Zaka. Grandpa asked a lot of help", said Grandpa Gian approaching Zaka who was sitting resting.
"I'm just happy Opa ransacked like that. That way I can get a little exercise", followed by a crunchy laugh."Every Sunday at home I fall a lot rather than work as it is now", he continued to tell a little about his daily life on Sunday.
Gian came over to bring him a black plastic bag, and gave it to his grandfather."Taken, do not refuse a gift from Grandpa".Ask Grandpa Gian who gave the plastic bag to Zaka.
Zaka refused but Grandpa Gian kept pushing, "Later home ask your mother to force him".
Smile after receiving the gift, "Yes, I'll ask your aunt to cook it".
"Where is your mother?Why ask Auntie for help? Mother's cooking is usually much better".
"My mother is dead" said Zaka calmly. But managed to make Gian surprised, because Gian only knew if the man who had been with him for several months turned out to have no mother figure.
Gian has been close to Zaka for several months. But why do you know now. Maybe Gian is too quiet and his privacy is too strong. Makes Gian new to the truth. Which makes Gian feel very guilty always prejudiced ugly continuously about Zaka.
"Inalillahi, keep you now living alone?".
"I live with my father", Zaka replied still calm."Eggs are usually, delicious in cooking what is Opa. Besides a clap egg and omelet?".
"Oport eggs, Bali eggs.bakso eggs if you can", followed by a crisp laugh at Zaka who laughed.
Until some buyers came back. And this time along with the arrival of Roman to this shop. Grandpa Gian immediately moved from his seat, "Get Zaka a drink in Gi's refrigerator", asked Grandpa Gian who had previously told Zaka to sit down just to rest because there was already a Roman who came to help.
Gian came with a bottle of cold mineral water that was given to Zaka who immediately sipped the drink.
After her. Zaka just went silent carelessly and kept paying attention to how Grandpa Gian and Roman interacted very closely.
Gian who at that time also noticed what was being noticed Zaka. And you know what Zaka was thinking, saying, "There is no need to envy my brother. You're still the first one",
Zaka turned to look at Gian and smiled warmly sweetly, twinkling. Also looks very satisfied.
A moment later after the shop had deserted back. Zaka moved from his seat, to say goodbye to Kekek Gian.
"So on the bike?" asked Grandpa Gian who still shook Zaka's hand.
Zaka nodded, "Yes Opa".
Not yet let go of Zaka's hand department. Grandpa Gian just stroked Zaka's shoulder, "Be careful on the road do not speed, alon-alon as important as diving omah throat".Said Grandpa Gian mixed with Javanese Alus.
"Siyap Opa", reply Zaka. Then he turned toward Roman who was watching."First bro".
"Siyap",Reply Roman friendly.
As for Gian. Zaka only saw it at a glance without saying a word, but like Gian understood something from the telepathic chat that Zaka tidal spoke verbally hahahhh...
Next.....
Back to his house. Mood Zaka which was originally very good actually changed 180° when entering the guest room of the house. Just when Zaka saw his father sitting in a single sova. Which leads directly to the front of the main road entering the house.
"What are you doing in the market?", asked Jon without changing his sitting position and his attention looked towards Zaka.
"ZAKA", Jon stepped out of his seat. Staring sharply at Zaka who actually returned with a fierce smile.
Not willing to account for his words that have made his father ride pital. Zaka just left the living room.
"STOP ZAKA!!", insisted Jon who was ignored by Zaka. Which in the end he could only sigh roughly letting Zaka go.
Zaka passed by to go to the kitchen. Approaching the art of his house that may be busy preparing dinner.
In the kitchen Zaka put the plastic bag on the table, "Bi", call Zaka.
"Is there anything you can help young master?", asked this Art.
"Auntie can masakin me egg opor?".
"Can".
Excited happy,"Make it yes, bi. That's delicious....When it's ripe tell me".
"Wear the egg I just brought bi".
"Good young master".
Zaka passes away leaving the kitchen, letting his aunt art home cook and reluctantly to disturb.
He goes to the bathroom to take a shower and rest, before finally notification of a voice mobile call goes into the phone that ruins Zaka's rest plan.
Connected.
*Zaka no longer close to Tio", Alan's message from across there to Zaka across here.
*Gue was getting information from my brother that Tio has been blacklisted for criminal book fugitive drug and drug dealer".
*Remember my stubborn Zaka, never see Tio again. And never again be in touch with her".
*What was safe yesterday?".
*Safe, because he's a new dealer so he hasn't been a target for a search".
*Thanks info".
*key".
Call at the end unilaterally by Zaka from across here.
Next...
By nightfall. I don't know how long it hasn't happened. Zaka was suddenly at the dinner table earlier than his father.
It made Jon quite surprised. Even as he was already sitting where he could, the eldest son who had always been reluctant to be with him always left the dining table to eat by himself somewhere else. But on a different night, Zaka remained stey in his place sitting enjoying his dinner menu. Tucked away a sense of wonder is also a feeling of indecision. And the thought if the eldest son had gradually started to forgive himself.
Finished eating first Zaka got up from his seat, "I go first", pamit Zaka before actually leaving.
Although it sounds stiff and disrespectful, but it's enough to surprise Jon,"Ha.h?Yes", making his tone sound nervous.
Still by staring at the departure of his eldest son who increasingly disappeared from his attention. Jon suddenly lowered his attention grimly sadly.
He remembered how he was afraid at that time because he was controlled by emotions. To make his own eldest son drenched in blood on his hands. Thank goodness that time God still gave many opportunities for life to his eldest son. So that his son could for as long as a physical scar, that long stroke of the sword would not be able to disappear. Likewise with his relationship that turned foreign after the event.
Jon had thought about apologizing, but he was always busy working. He also rarely met with Zaka who very rarely returned home since the incident. So that the relationship between the two is increasingly foreign until now, because no matter what you do, neither has ever done.
Cold sweat pouring profusely closed eyelids but the look of a restless face. Gian ran as hard as he could to avoid the pursuit of the delinquents who were chasing him.
Until arriving at the end of the alley Gian almost hit by a motorbike from the other direction, if only the motorbike did not stop right before touching Gian.
While Gian was already suffocated in shock. Especially after the power has been pretty much drained after running around all night.
"Gia", call out the tone of voice of the man he was waiting for the presence since.
Gian looked up for a moment before hugging Zaka's waist tightly, but soon Gian stopped. And said panic."Zaka let's go. Before they come Zaka, come on", together in a hurry to get up again.
Unfortunately, Gian's invitation was late, because the group of delinquent men were close to the two of them.
Zaka clasped Gian's wrist tightly, "Don't be away from me, still behind me", asked Zaka in a firm tone to release his hand grip.
