SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 42
***
After arriving home, the members immediately rested due to fatigue from bathing and chasing buffalo. They lay themselves on the floor which is only made of mats from bamboo. The house they rented was not so spacious and very simple, the walls were only using bricks and in makeshift paint. However, it is very comfortable and cool because the yard is overgrown with trees.
“Akh..my bones are like they are going to fall out because they chased the buffalo, ” Chan complained while massaging his legs.
“I'm also” replied Zhi of origin.
“What am I too?!. You guys just yell without helping!” Chan Protest.
“Our throat hurts from yelling to give you guys some encouragement. Isn't that right, Em?”
“Eum...in fact, our voice is a parau” Emira said with a voice made like a real raucous.
Chan clucked, “Smart once you guys have a show!” His word.
Zhi and Emira instead laughed because they managed to make Chan upset.
“Come, eat. Sister...come!”
Dza's coming to bring dinner.
Zhi who was originally enthusiastic became excited after Dza opened the lunch box he brought.
“How can, people who have the widest rice fields in this village only provide dinner in the form of rice and eggs?” Zhi Protest.
“True. At least, he gave us fried chicken” Chan also commented.
“He said he had a large rice field, not chicken. Why are you protesting?” Ask Ez.
“Already, just eat what there” Ez back sound.
Not wanting Ez to nag, Chan, Zal, Dza, and Zhi finally chose to be quiet.
“Since I was born, this is the first time I have eaten with just white rice and eggs” Khai shook his head, staring at the food menu in front of him in surprise.
The other members wanted to laugh seeing Khai's innocent expression, but Ez immediately glared at them. As a result, they could only hold it.
“Do we not bring food?” Ask Khai to Emira.
“No. We left suddenly, I didn't have time to set it up” Emira replied slowly.
“Tomorrow, Mr. Tomo wants to invite us to harvest vegetables in his garden” Dza diverts the conversation.
“Really?. Is the vegetable garden as large as the rice field earlier?” Ask Zhi.
“Why do you keep talking about the rice fields?” Chan asked who could no longer hold back his laughter.
“It seems, all the land in this village belongs to him” said Ez origin.
The members and Emira just smiled while shaking their heads at Ez's statement. Members who do not talk much, but once they talk are difficult to control.
***Garden***
Emira could not help but laugh when she saw the members wearing clothes from Mr. Tomo. Although it looks strange, but the members still shine like when on stage.
“Stop laughing!” Zhi Protest.
“Sorry, but the hat is perfect for you” Emira pointed at the hat from the bamboo webbing that Zhi wore.
“Sorry, if I make you uncomfortable wearing this outfit” Sorry Mr. Tomo.
“It's okay. I was born cool, so whatever I wear will have no effect” Khai said confidently.
“I'm sorry my brother” Zal smiled condescendingly, while Mr. Tomo even laughed at the words of Khai.
“Then, let's start harvesting the vegetables. We can only harvest beans and cabbage only, because other vegetables are still too young to harvest” Bright Mr. Tomo.
“There is fruit over there, can we pick it too?” Ask Chan.
“Of course. There are strawberries, grapes, and oranges, it tastes so sweet because I use the best seeds. You can take it as much as possible, because all this belongs to me” Mr. Tomo smiled sumringah as he explained it.
“Alright, we will not hesitate. Come on, we're going there”
“Thank you” Emira said to Mr. Tomo, then followed the members who had walked first.
“Yesterday, they prefer to bathe buffalo rather than harvest rice. Now, they are more interested in picking fruit than harvesting vegetables. Hah..kids do like to act anyway” Mumbled Mr. Tomo.
In the orchard, the members divide the task to pick the fruit. Zal and Zhi are in charge of picking grapes, Dza and Chan are picking oranges, Khai and Ez are picking strawberries, while Emira is busy collecting the fruits of the members' quotes.
“This is for you”
Khai gives Emira a ripe strawberry.
“I gave him to eat, instead of saved” Cheered Khai when he saw Emira putting strawberries into a basket.
“Iya, I know”
“This”
Ez also gave a strawberry to Emira.
“Don't give it to anyone else, I picked it up for you” Ez said.
Khai and Ez looked at each other, realizing that the atmosphere was starting to change, Emira then shook her head, “Thank you. You guys are so good..ayo, we eat these strawberries together” said Emira. He then ate strawberries from Khai and Ez at once, so that the two members did not argue.
‘I did not like strawberries, but was forced to eat them because you guys’ muttered Emira slowly.
“You're even engrossed here, and don't help me” Sergey Zhi. He and Zal came with a basket full of wine. Shortly after, Chan and Dza approached with two baskets full of oranges.
“Wahhh. Why pick this much?” Ask Emira.
“Leave it, we can take it to SUN house tomorrow” Zhi replied casually.
Emira and the other members just shook their heads at the behavior of the youngest SUN member who was very enthusiastic.
***the next day***
A short holiday in the village has been completed, now is the time they have to return to the routine as a boy group. Although it had made a mess of rice fields and kebuya, but Mr. Tomo still brought a lot of souvenirs for the members as well as Emira, ranging from rice, vegetables, fruit, and chicken eggs.
After saying goodbye, the members and Emira begin the journey. Although only a few days, but the memories and experiences they get are not small.
“Padahat only a few days, but I feel sad leaving this place” said Zhi.
“I'm also” replied Emira.
“Then, you two just stay here” Celoteh Chan. Suddenly, he immediately got a toyoran from Zhi and Emira.
“It turns out, Mr. Tomo also has chicken cattle” Dza greeting makes other members confused.
“He gave us six box” chicken eggs Dza said again.
“That's much?” Chan assured.
“Iya” Dza nodded her head.
“Didn't we get boils if we eat that many eggs” Spontaneous words from Ez make other members can't help laughing.
"He should have given us the chicken too, why keep giving us the eggs?!" Zhi Protest.
"really. But thanks to him, I know what it's like to eat white rice and fried eggs" Khai said innocently, and the members laughed again.
"We should thank him, not complain" said Emira, nodding her head, not daring to refute his words.
Their journey went well. Along the way, they sang while playing guesswork. Their short vacation in the village, managed to make Khai cheerful again and the other members also look happy because they can enjoy the holiday quietly without media, cameras, and scripts. In fact, they actually turn off the phone during the holidays.
After filling the energy to the brim, they hope to work even better and make ‘My Spring’ proud.
