SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 53
Putting two boxes of food on the pitch-black round table, the middle-aged man said, “Have a rest first, I brought martabak for you. Eat while it's still warm”
The six members turned their heads simultaneously towards the source of the voice, then approached the middle-aged man.
“Last-lately, you often keep an eye on us practice. What's up?” Chan asked as he picked up a piece of martabak, then ate it voraciously.
Instead of answering, Mr. Arsel asked “Do I have a reason to see you guys practice?”
Chan smiles wide like a toothpaste ad, “That's not what I mean” said later.
Mr Arsel clucked, then asked “Have you heard from Emira?”
Not yet received a response from the six members, the middle-aged man re-moved “The phone cannot be contacted, nor do I know the phone number or address of his parents. Akhs! The kid is really frustrating”
“I've contacted her parents, but they also don't know where Emira is. Her mother said, Emira called just to tell her how she is.” Terang Khai.
“Why can sister know her parents phone number?” Asked Chan innocently.
Mr. Arsel glared at Chan before Khai replied.
“Alright, no need to answer. I already know” Chan said later.
Mr. Arsel was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking. Then back to asking, “What is possible, he went to his grandmother's house?”
“No. He did not visit there” replied Ez.
“Why do you know?. Are you looking for him without involving us?!” Zhi Protest.
Not wanting to make Zhi even more upset, Khai immediately said “Nobody is looking for him. We just contacted his parents”
“Didn't her grandmother die?” Ask Zal.
“Maybe the grandmother you are referring to is the parent of her mother Emira” Timpal Dza.
Zal back flinching, “Why his grandmother so many”
Dza clucked, staring in wonder at Zal sitting in front of him, “How much is that?. Generally, everyone does have two grannies” said Dza.
Plainly, Zal again said “Where do I know. Since birth, I don't have granny”
Dza sighed heavily, “As far as you are”.
“Stop worrying about unimportant things. The break time is over. Come on, practice again” Titah Khai.
Khai's sharp gaze, made the members immediately move from sitting down and continue training. Not out of fear, but they respect Khai's position as leader and eldest brother.

Khai enjoys the night air while sipping on warm chocolate. His mind drifted among the thousands of stars he was looking at. A few minutes later, his gaze turned to someone who was now sitting next to him.
“Do not touch it” Khai said when he saw Ez holding a gift cup from Emira.
Ez clucked, “Basic pirit” Baitnya. Then put the cup back.
Arrogantly, Khai said “That cup there is only one in this world, and it is only mine”
“I also have a sock hanger that there is only one in this world” Ez replied cynically.
Not yet Khai avenged Ez's arrogance, the four members had first appeared and joined.
“What are you guys talking about?” Ask Dza.
Ez shook his head, “We've only been quiet since last”.
Khai was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then said, “Through Emira, my father asked that I return home and make up with him”
The five members were shocked to hear Khai's words.
“Emira meet him?” Ask Zhi.
“When?!” Chan asked.
With a serious face, Ez said, “It's good, you gave your father a chance. You've been quiet for too long"
“True. I'm sure, mother sister will be happy if you guys make up” Zal also commented.
“You however, the blood ties remain will not be able to break” said Dza with a sincere smile.
Chan tried to recall when his father Khai took part in helping the company, saying, “Then, my brother's father helped SUN when he was struggling with funds. Doesn't that mean that he actually cares about his brother?!”
“Iya, right. I also remember that” Zhi chimed in.
Khai closed his eyes while massaging the temple, “Alright, I will try it” Break it later.
“I almost forgot... I have good news” said Dza.
The five compact members turned towards him with questionable gazes.
Dza then pulled out a flat object from his pocket, “Tadi I did a live broadcast on social media, then there was ‘My Spring’ who said that the attack at that time was not them. In fact, the community leaders have confirmed it. It seems, indeed someone deliberately wants to make a misunderstanding between us and ‘My Spring’. The community leaders also apologized for the incident” Terang Dza.
Smiling sumringah, Chan said “Hah. ‘My Spring’ is unlikely to do that evil thing. They are very trusting and will always support us”
Zal crossed hands across the chest, breathing the night air quietly while saying “Everything is getting clearer. Juna and Sheril work together. Juna wants to take us down, and Sheril doesn't like Emira. Then, they use Aerin as a source of information. Aerin who was upset because he was caught being the chairman of the VVIP community, finally agreed to be a source of information for them”
"Wahhh... big brother is indeed smart to analyze” cried Zhi while clapping. The four members did the same.
Getting such treatment, Zal immediately stood up while waving the exact hand of a model who was on the catwalk on stage. Suddenly, they were getting excited about teasing Zal.
***The next day***
A luxury car enters an elite residential area located in the city center. On arrival at the gate, two guards opened the door. The workers stopped their activities, smiling kindly to welcome the arrival of someone they used to call ‘Muda’.
Khai returned the smiles of the workers, then stepped towards the house with the door wide open for him.
Khai had not been able to knock on the door of his father's office, someone had already opened the door and invited him to enter.
“Please, young lord” Said the man wearing a formal suit. After making sure Khai was sitting comfortably, the man asked permission to leave.
“I'm glad you came” said a middle-aged man, then got out of his chair and moved to sit on the sofa with Khai.
Khai said clumsily, “I won't be long. Looks like, you are very healthy now”
“I'm not as healthy as you can see. Thank you for coming” said Mr. Madava with a soft look.
“I will only say it once, so please listen well. I'm not going back to this house, but... if you ask to visit, then I'll come”.
The middle-aged man smiled at Khai's words. He was eager to hug his son. However, the intention was undone because it did not want to make Khai uncomfortable.
“The door of this house will always be wide open for you, feel free to come at any time. You are my son, all I have is yours”
Khai held back a smile at his father's words, “I'm also rich now, even though it's not as rich as you. But, in the near future, I will defeat your wealth” Khai said with full confidence.
‘His confident nature proves that he really is my son’ The middle-aged man's inner heart while smiling proudly.
“I know that. You're so great, even better than me” The middle-aged man paused his words, then said “Send my gratitude to your assistant”
“She has resigned” Khai lirih said.
Mr. Madava was surprised to hear Khai's remark, “What due to the news and the attack, he resigned?” Ask later.
Khai nodded his head and made no comment.
“Then did I recruit him as an assistant?”
Khai's eyes glared at his father's question, firmly saying “What now, you want to compete with your own son?!”
The middle-aged man smiled meaningfully, ventured into rubbing Khai's back and said, “Dad is just kidding, don't glare like that at your father”
With a soft and stiff, Khai said “Sorry, a..ayah”
Hearing Khai call him father, the middle-aged man could no longer hold back tears. With trembling hands, he ventured to embrace his only son. The father and son then embraced full day, releasing the longing that was buried for many years.
