SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 29
Emira enters first, leaving the members still gathered in the park while enjoying a warm coffee. They were very calm, as if they were immersed in each other's thoughts. Even the cell phone they were carrying, was lying just like that on a dark brown wooden table. The bonfire that had been burning brightly also started to dim.
“Actually, what problems does Emira have?” Zal started the conversation after they had been silent for quite a while.
“I didn't hear it directly from Emira, but it was Mr. Arsel who told” Zhi replied.
“What did he say?” Ask Ez.
“When Emira was in First High School, she had a terrible accident. His father, who used to pick him up when he came home from school, was in trouble that day. Then, his uncle replaces to pick up Emira. While on the road, they crash so that his uncle has paralysis. Since then, Emira has been frequently blamed. He was also a victim, and he was traumatized. His crippled uncle, unable to work, holds both Emira's parents accountable. Because his parents could not afford to finance the operation, so his uncle requested that the family of Emira who bear the cost of his life a lifetime”
“Life?!” Khai repeated Zhi's words furiously.
Zhi nodded his head, then continued his story, “Uncle Emira has a daughter whose age does not differ much from Emira. Since Emira worked, she took over the responsibilities of her parents to fund her uncle's life. Emira went to college while working because she did not want to add to the burden of her parents. He worked very hard because he wanted to help pay off his family's debts. He felt it was all his fault, so he had to take responsibility. The daughter of her uncle often asks Emira for money, and will get angry or even curse if Emira does not give him money. His cousin always said, his life would not be difficult if his father did not pick up Emira. That's what makes Emira always haunted by guilt and can not refuse the request of her cousin. Emira grows up with such words every day”.
“Can't his cousin be sued for extortion?” Ask Zal.
“True. Why would Emira let such a person continue to bother her?!” Dza also commented.
“Emira is very good and easy to touch, it would not be possible to do it” Chan gave a response.
“Being ruthless sometimes needs” Khai to get out of his seat.
“Where are you going?” Ask Zhi.
“Sleep, it's almost midnight” Khai waltzes leaving the other five members.
***Daytime***
The members of SUN are guest stars on ‘Variety Show’. Filming took place in the pool because it carries the theme ‘Air’. The members are required to complete missions with three stages of the game, each of which has a different challenge. In the first stage, they will pass over the bridge over the pond. However, the bridge was no ordinary bridge. They will be given a guess and if they cannot answer, the bridge will move so that it can make participants fall into the pool. Instead of being afraid, the members were very excited because they really liked swimming. Even they did so very naturally, as if not being filmed.
The second game is, the conveyor belt. The members are divided into three teams, each team consists of two people. One person will ride on the tire, and the other will push all the way to the end of the pool. The first team to arrive will be the winner.
Ez and Chan
Zal and Khai
Zhi and Dza
“These tires feel heavier because you keep moving” Protest Dza on Zhi who is busy judging Khai by splashing water.
Khai laughed to see Zhi got a scolding, making Zhi increasingly aggressively splash water towards Khai. The water splash was not only about Khai but also Zal.
Zal's eyes became sore from being exposed to water. Zal accidentally rubs his eyes, Khai who also continues to move to retaliate Zhi's actions until he does not realize if Zal let his tires move on their own. Unbalanced, Khai fell off the tyre. Suddenly it made the four members laugh, while Zal was surprised because of his own actions.
“Why did you release the tires?” Ask Khai.
“My eyes hurt from being exposed to water. Sister is too much motion so unbalanced” Zal defended himself before getting scolding.
Zhi laughs complacently, “Sinful brother to me!” Aspersion. Khai laughed, though.
Khai has been very understanding, if one team with Zal there will definitely be a storm. Meanwhile, Chan's team was very calm all the way to the end of the pool, they were just watching the two squabbling teams.
‘I really don't like one team with brother Ez while playing’ Gerutu Chan.
“Did you just curse me?” Ask Ez.
“No!” Chan shook his head.
‘When I cursed quietly, why can he hear?!’ Chan muttered softly.
Ez and Chan have different characters. Chan is very active, whereas Ez does not like too much movement. But every division of the team, they are often in the same team.
After filming was completed, Zhi, Chan, and Dza asked permission to go to the supermarket before returning to SUN house. On the way, they met a grandmother who brought a lot of cake.
“That's a granny's sorry. Come on, let's buy the cake” Take Chan to his two colleagues.
“You're sure grandma's a cake seller?” Dza seems doubtful.
They then approached the grandmother they thought was a cake seller.
“Can I buy it?. I will buy everything” Chan said with confidence.
“What do you mean?” Ask the grandmother.
“I want to buy granny” Chan cake back unmoved.
“Which cake?”
Chan exhaled softly, he turned his head towards the two members who were looking at him doubtfully.
“I..ingin..buy...cue...ini...” Chan said, pointing to the cake in the grandmother's hand.
“Why are you talking like that?!. Even though it is old, but I can still hear normally” The grandmother then leave Chan who looks confused.
“Again, I'm not a cake seller. I bought this for my grandkids” Before leaving, the grandmother hit Chan on the shoulder. Suddenly, Zhi and Dza laughed out loud at him.
“Since the beginning, I'm not sure if he's a cake seller” Ejek Dza.
“Sister does suck” Zhi ruffled waist.
“How do I know if he's not a cake seller. And also, why would a grandmother wander around alone?. Make a misunderstanding only!” Chan rubbed his shoulders.
They returned to meet the three members who had been waiting in the car. Dza and Zhi couldn't stop laughing until the other three members were curious about what they were laughing at.
“What happened?” Ask Ez.
Zhi then told the story enthusiastically, making the other members also laugh. In fact, Khai looks very happy to see his sister experiencing something unpleasant.
Chan wanted to protest because he continued to be laughed at, but he abandoned his intentions when he saw Emira also laughing.
***SUN House***
Khai turned his head as someone placed a warm chocolate bar on his desk.
“Thank you” He said.
Emira nods her head, intending to leave Khai busy with her work.
“Wait..”.
“What's up?” Ask Emira.
“I'm so upset to see you crying like yesterday” Khai immediately replicates his words when he sees Emira's confused expression.
“You don't get me wrong, I said this because I don't want anyone to disturb my employees” Khai scratched his non-itchy head, trying to find the right words.
“I mean.you are the assistant of SUN, the world famous boy group. Your problem could have an effect for us” Not finished Khai explained, Emira has already said, “Sister no need to worry. I won't involve anyone in my troubles”
Seeing the look on Emira's face change, Khai becomes unwell.
“That's not what I mean, how much do you need?. I'll help” Khai said.
“Thank you for offering help, but I don't want to involve uak” replied Emira softly, then left Khai in her room.
‘Akh!!!. This is not what I meant. I intend to give a loan without interest and time limits. In fact, I don't mind if I have to give it away for free. Why won't he take advantage of my good looks and wealth?!. In fact, there are many things that he can take advantage of me. But, he didn't do it at all. Huh! Just make a flustered’ Khai shook his head, staring at Emira from the glass wall in surprise.
