Arifa felt her sleep had been long enough this night. The wall clock in his room showed at six in the morning. Arifa also stretched her body which was still in the pink blanket. But he seemed reluctant to get out of bed.
His body he tilted while hugging the bolster with the most comfortable position. His gaze accidentally stopped on a neatly arranged picture frame on his study table. The photo was taken the day after Farhan's graduation in Yogyakarta. Inside the frame, four people smiled happily as they looked at the camera that was about to shoot them. What a perfect family.
However, Arifa who saw it was just that her heart was full. Disappointment at his mother reappeared. I want to hate, but I can't. I want to feel angry, but reluctant. The feeling of error that Arifa now feels.
In front of Sinta, he always wanted to ask why? What was? And what exactly happened? Should a farewell be the end of that patience? Couldn't that second chance be given to the father?
Without feeling the circle of tears dripping then flowing through his sharp nose and wet the bed sheet on the roll that was in his embrace. A tear that hinted that he was difficult to vent his emotions. That's all Arifa can do.
Since childhood, Arifa is indeed a jolly and talkative child. Whatever was in front of him must have been asked by him. As he grew older, his emotions changed. He became more sensitive to what could make him sad. Therefore, Arifa avoids love for the opposite sex.
And at this moment, he instantly seemed to be silent in a dark, silent place. Which usually every home for school holidays there mamahnya, now different.
Haus,tok,tok. The sound of knocking on the door made him gasp. Arifa immediately wiped away her tears then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then he got out of bed to open the door to his room.
"Eh, Brother Farhan," said Arifa shortly after she opened the door. "What's up, brother?" tanyanya.
"Newly Brother wants to take breakfast, eh it turns out you haven't had a bath, Fa?" Farhan folded his arms around his chest and showed a face as if angry at his sister.
"Hehe, I just woke up Brother. Last night I slept really late," replied Arifa while scratching her head that did not itch with a smile showing her rows of white and neat teeth.
"Shower there! Waiting for the table for breakfast together," Farhan's decree made Arifa cluck and raised her lips.
"Yes, yeah. Rifa took a shower."
"Yes, but not for long!" said Farhan then left Arifa who was still standing in front of the room door.
After Farhan disappears from his sight, Arifa enters and closes the door again. He immediately rushed to take a bath so that his body was fresher.
Half an hour passed, now Arifa has finished with bathing activities and also wearing her casual clothes. He immediately went to the dining room, not wanting Zakaria and Farhan to wait for long.
"For everyone" said Arifa casually.
"For the Princess" said Zakaria. While Farhan laughed hearing his papa say so.
"Let's eat, Princess is here. Jeng jeng jeng jeng ...." Farhan imitated the voices of the soldiers of a kingdom. Arifa immediately patted Farhan who had been sitting on the chair since earlier.
"Ouch! pain, Fa," complained Farhan just after Arifa patted his back.
"Hehe, while slowly Rifa patted him. Lebay deh Farhan!" cibir Arifa while sitting on the chair opposite to her brother.
"Hahaha, I've eaten. Laper here!" said Farhan while taking his breakfast available on the table.
...****************...
After breakfast, Farhan and Zakaria prepared to go to the company together. While Arifa was busy washing dirty dishes and also tidying the dining table and kitchen.
Although this is the first time for Arifa, but it turns out he is quite deft to do it. When he had finished, Zachariah and Farhan were about to leave.
"You're not going anywhere today, are you, Fa?" ask Zakaria.
"Not Pah. Rifa wants to find a reference for college," replied Arifa with a rest.
"If you can find a city that is still one yes, so that Papah can shuttle," proposed Zakaria, but Arifa himself still can not be sure whether or not. Arifa seemed to think.
"Later Rifa go on, Pah. What if I get it out of town?" arifa asked with a slight feeling of fear not allowed.
"Well, what can you do, you're an adult. You have to know what is good, what is bad. Whatever decision you make, where you will learn, Papah will support."
Hearing Zechariah's words, Arifa's heart was happy not playing. His eyes also sparkled.
The middle-aged man could no longer restrain Arifa from following his will. During this time, Arifa has been a submissive child for both parents. This time, the time has come to be free to make his own choices, Zakaria thought so.
"Sama-sama .. yes we have left first yes. You are at home well, if there is anything immediately contact Papah or not Farhan ya Fa," said Zakaria.
"Ready, Boss!" arifa replied while giving a sign of respect with the palm she placed at the end of her eyebrows.
Farhan, who had been busy with his cell phone, followed Zakaria, and left Arifa, ruffling her hair.
"Sister!" arifa's shout made Farhan run out of his house while laughing.
After the two men left, Arifa closed the door of the house that did not forget she was the key. Then go back to his room.
Before Arifa opened the laptop to find the best college in accordance with the majors she will take, she chose to go open a sliding door that leads to the balcony of the house on the second floor.
"Hah, freshnessaaa...a very cool weather this morning," said Arifa as she spread her hands to the side. He also exercises lightly to relax his muscles that feel stiff.
From the end of his view, Arifa saw a tall male figure in a singlet shirt that showed both muscles in his arms and hands as well as long training pants and sneakers.
Handsomest. That is what is implied in the mind of Arifa. Although the man looked very mature, but the aura possessed was quite alluring to the women. Arifa wondered in her heart.
Who is that guy? I just saw him around the house complex. Is he a new resident here?
Not wanting to be caught by the man that he was watching, Arifa immediately went back into the room and did not forget to close the door.
The huft! almost aja.
Arifa picked up her laptop on the study table, then carried it to the top of the bed that was still a mess. He started to turn on the laptop. While waiting, Arifa opened her social media to check if Haechan was live streaming or not.
Arifa was a little disappointed that Haechan turned out to be off at the moment. But on the other hand it's actually lucky, because if he's focused on watching his idol. Plans to find college referrals can also fail.
After the laptop turned on perfectly, Arifa began typing in the google search field. Not only that, he also opened his classmate chat group to get info.
...****************...
Not feeling the morning began to go by noon, Arifa had found several college places that she chose according to her interests. Stay later in the discussion back with papah and also his brother.
"Udah at one o'clock turns out, take a nap ah," said Arifa monologue while turning off her laptop and she put it into its original place.
But when he was about to lay down his body, suddenly the sound of the house bell rang.
"Excuse me, package!"
The cry of the man heard by a courier also undoes Arifa's intentions. The occupants rushed down from the second floor to open the door.
Chequek. Once the door opens, sure enough. A courier in orange vest with the inscription Pos Indonesia was standing in front of the door of Arifa's house.
"Sir, there is a package of documents on behalf of Zakaria with the address of East Gem Complex number twenty-nine, is this really his house?" ask the courier to Arifa.
"Yes right, sir. What documents? Any evidence?" ask Arifa back.
"Sorry, Brother. It was written only a secret document, so I also did not know what the contents of the document were," replied the courier, Arifa also sighed while receiving the documents between the couriers. "Seek for the recipient's signature here huh, sister," he continued, pointing towards the column on the paper that Arifa had to sign.
Arifa signed it. After that the courier left. Arifa closed the door again. Curious, he sat down on the living room sofa. Slowly open the documents that are packed very neatly.
After successfully opening, Arifa carefully read it. His heart jolted, his eyes began to glaze over and without taking a long time the tears had been dammed in the tail of his eyes that were ready at any time could fall at any time.
"I thought it would fail, but it turned out ... "
