SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 28
Emira saves her phone after she ends a conversation with someone. His eyes condensed. A few seconds later, a clear grain just flowed from both sides of his eye.
“What happened something?”
Emira was surprised to hear someone's voice, she immediately wiped away her tears.
“No. Since when are you here?” Emira asked Mr. Arsel.
“Do not lie. Did your family call?” Mr. Arsel pulled out his chair to get closer to Emira.
“What problems are there?” Mr. Arsel asked again, because Emira had not yet answered.
Emira exhales many times, trying to regulate her emotions. After he calmed down, he began to explain to Mr. Arsel.
“I guess, things have gotten better. But, it turns out that nothing has changed” Emira paused her speech, then again said, “Until when should I think about and take responsibility for things that should not be my responsibility?!”
Mr. Arsel patted Emira on the shoulder slowly, trying to give her some encouragement. “What can I help you with?” Ask.
“I don't want to continue to trouble you”
“I never felt bothered by you” Mr Arsel was silent for a moment, then again asked, “How much money do you need?”
Emira shook her head, “Well, you don't help me anymore”
“Why do you still feel that way?”
Emira just kept quiet, not heeding the question of the middle-aged man beside her.
Mr. Arsel checked his account for a moment, then said, “I still want to accompany you, but I have to leave because there is other business. I'll help you, so don't hesitate!” Said Mr. Arsel before leaving.
“You want to go?” Ask Zhi who is going to approach Pak Arsel and Emira.
“Yes, I have some business to do. Please, don't bother him too much today. His mood is not good” Whisper Mr. Arsel on Zhi. While Zhi just nodded her head while looking at the dreamy Emira.
Zhi approached Emira, then sat down beside her. “After the shoot is over, will you accompany me to play fireworks?”
“Iya” Reply Emira briefly.
“I picked up fireworks during yesterday” Bisik Zhi event.
Emira frowned, “You picked it up secretly?”
“Iya” Zhi smile wide advertising tub toothpaste.
Emira clucked, then smiled.
Actually, Zhi accidentally asks the staff for fireworks because during the fireworks, he sees Emira very happy. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be useful at a time like this.
“We're looking for you, it turns out you're already here” Chan exclaimed to Zhi. After realizing something, he re-emerged, “Why does your face look puffy?. Are you crying?”
The members looked at Emira at the same time.
“Ti. My eyes were hit by dust” replied Emira origin.
“Ayo, we have to change clothes” Khai switched the conversation. He knew that Emira seemed uncomfortable with Chan's question.
The members are preparing, Zhi and Chan are changing clothes. Zal, Dza, and Ez are dealing with the hairdresser section. Meanwhile, Khai is tidying up a tie.
“Can help me?” Ask Khai to Emira.
“Iya, why?”
“Pakikan this” Khai pointed a tie that was already coiled around his neck.
“Ak...I put it on?” Ask Emira clumsy.
Khai has his own rules. Although all his needs are usually prepared by the staff, but he does not like it if someone else wears a tie for him.
“You think there's someone else here?!”
Khai stared intently, making Emira swallow her saliva, unable to answer.
Emira is confused about never wearing a tie for someone else. Moreover, the current distance with Khai was too close.
“What are you doing?. Why shut up?!”
“You fascinated with my good looks?” Khai is back.
Emira frowned at Khai's words, ‘Why is she so confident?. In fact, I really do not understand how to tie a tie’ Inner Emira.
“You must remember how. Next time, I'll be mad if you still can't do it!” Khai said while wearing his tie.
‘He has healthy hands and can wear it himself, why still bother me?. So annoying!’ Emira was very slow.
“You heard?” Khai asked because he did not get an answer from Emira.
“Iy..iya, I heard”.
Khai sauntered, leaving Emira still in her place.
‘What the fuck?. He just left after making people upset. In fact, he's so relaxed. Is he someone who doesn't care about other people's feelings?’ Grutu Emira while looking at Khai who was getting away.
“Akh” Emira turns her head when someone attaches a canned drink that looks refreshing.
Emira then opened the drink in the can, then downed it.
“One fresh. Thank you” Emira said with a smile. Ez also smiled, then walked to the photo studio to do a photo shoot.
The members of SUN are very photogenic. So it didn't take long, they had finished shooting. Although they were shooting for only one commercial, they arrived at SUN house at night. This is due to an interview conducted suddenly by the ad. Although they may refuse because they do not comply with the agreement, they still do. The popularity that has been achieved at this time, does not make them arrogant. That humble attitude is what makes ‘My Spring’ more and more.
***SUN House***
Dza nodded his head after Zhi whispered something.
“I will prepare it in the back garden and invite others also” Dza said before leaving.
“Good. I'll catch up with” Zhi and then find Emira's whereabouts.
‘Is he asleep?’ Zhi muttered as he did not find Emira. He immediately went to Emira's room to confirm it. For a long time he knocked on the door of the room until it opened.
“Do you not want to accompany me to play fireworks, why even sleep so fast?”
Emira hits her forehead slowly, “I forgot, sorry”.
“Come, we're going to the park. The others had already gathered while grilling meat and sausage”
.
.
.
Chan immediately gave a plate of roasted sausage when Emira was already sitting comfortably.
“This is for Emira, you just bake yourself!”
Chan hit Zhi's hand who was about to pick up a roasted sausage from a medium-sized white plate.
“I just asked for one” Zhi glared at Chan.
“You dare glare at me?!”
“Already, don't fight. We just eat together” Emira mediates them.
“It looks like we're too busy lately, to the point of not having much time to tell you” Zal stopped his guitar playing. He paused for a moment, then said again, “You know a lot about us, but we never ask anything about you. I felt guilty” Zal looked at the confused looking Emira.
“Padah, we've lived together long enough. But we didn't even notice you. It's always you who pay attention and keep us” Dza talking.
“What did you guys say?” Emira still does not understand the words of the two members who are now sitting next to each other.
“Why don't you tell me when you have a problem?. Don't you consider us family?” Ask Zhi.
“I don't know where to start”
Emira took a breath for a moment, then exhaled slowly, “You have also received a lot of pain, I do not want to be a burden”
“We never thought of you as a burden. Try it, to open with us” Zhi said again.
“I grew up with a lot of trauma, trying hard to turn my introverted self into an extrovert. No one knows what kind of hurt I feel. I just want to live a normal life. I don't want to be considered weird. Despite trying to fight all the fear, in the end I remained helpless”
Emira's eyes began to condense, the clear grains falling just like that from both corners of her eyes.
“Although the world makes me difficult, I still won't show my tears. Even though I was afraid to cry alone, I did it anyway. Though my heart aches, my lips will still smile. I always do something that goes against myself” Emira pauses her sentence, then goes back to saying, “When I was a child, I often got unfair treatment. Although not from my parents, but my weak heart still hurt. At first, I never cared about what other people would compare me to my brother, but when my parents did not defend me and kept quiet with people's comments, I felt hurt. I thought, too much in response to that, so I just kept quiet. And I guess as time goes on, I'll get used to it, but the more I grow, the more I feel pain that's hard to explain to anyone. Ak...me...” Emira stammered, unable to continue her sentence.
Zhi rubbed Emira's shoulder, trying to calm down.
“I try to be an accomplished and good child, to get attention and stop the words of people who compare me often. However, no matter how hard I tried, no one really saw my efforts. At that time, I still had a very dear grandmother and always defended me. But when he died, my heart was broken and I felt alone again. Sometimes I get upset, because he left without taking me”
Zhi gives tissue and warm water to Emira. After drinking it, Emira went back to telling stories. “Mom always asked me to give up on my two brothers, because she knew I would obey. I wanted to be selfish by defying his request. But my heart hurts when I do that. Finally, all I can do is give up”
The members were silent to hear Emira's story. Women who are always cheerful and look strong, it turns out to have sadness that is closed tightly. Emira who never complained, it was not because she did not have pressure. But, the pressure he felt was very strong, thus making it difficult to express it to others.
“I just want to say, I'm here for you” – Zhi –
“Like a wind that will blow by itself, that's the problem. So, don't worry. I'm there for you” – Chan –
“The sun will always give its light to the flower, because it does not want to see it wither. Although I am not the sun, but I will do the same thing like” – Dza –
“As long as you can breathe, as long as you can still be happy. Let's fight together to be happy!” – Zal–
“Maybe, I don't fully understand your sadness. But, I will stay here to accompany you” – Ez –
“When the world looks unfair, remember what I said ‘Everything will be fine. The slump will make you shine'. I'm beside you” – Khai –
Emira's cry became more and more when she heard the words of the six members. He is actually very afraid to cry alone, but all this time still do it because he does not want to look weak. Now, the six people who never thought they would meet him even became the first to accompany him to cry. That's destiny, it's hard to guess.
