The Love Flakes of Nauvara
Sister

The commotion coming from the kitchen interfered with Rangga's deep sleep. The watch hanging on the wall of Vara's room still shows at 04.50 WIB. Rangga got up from his bed out of the room towards the source of the sound. Vara was seen cutting vegetables with her hair tied up in origin which showed her tie neck. Rangga approached Vara who seemed focused without realizing the existence of Rangga who was already near him.

"What would you cook so early?" Ask Rangga.

Vara gasped in shock at Rangga's sudden arrival. "The ladder? Are you awake?" Said Vara without answering Rangga's question.

Rangga sat his body on the chair. "As you can see! Your activities woke me up." Answer Rangga flat.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your sleep." Vara felt guilty.

"No problem! What are you cooking?" Ask Rangga again.

"Fried rice for breakfast later." Reply Vara continued cutting vegetables.

"Do kids like fried rice?"

"Yes... They really like my fried rice..."

Rangga nodded, apparently his children also really liked fried rice as much as he did.

"Do you want to take a shower?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Alright, I'll get you a towel first."

"No need! Let me take it myself."

"The towel's in my closet on the top left of my room."

"okay! I'll go to the room and get a towel."

Vara nodded and continued her cooking activities.

After getting the towel, rangga's eyes were fixed on the photo of Vara as a child until High School and there were several photos of Aidan and Yura as infants displayed on the walls of the room and on the study table owned by Vara. Last night Rangga fell asleep after Vara left the room and did not look around Vara's room.

Little Vara looks adorable, with her hair braided in two and hugging a teddy bear in front of her. Vara's face looked more beautiful over time. Rangga turned his gaze towards the photo of Aidan and Yura as a baby. The little babies were laughing with toys in their tiny hands. He saw the face of Aidan who was very similar to him when the baby Rangga had seen in the photo album in his room.

Rangga stroked the photos of his two children, he was very sorry he could not feel the care of his two children from their womb. Rangga imagined how Vara could care for their twins with the condition of young Vara. It must be very troublesome, thought Rangga. Rangga's daydream stopped because of Vara who entered his room.

"Didn't the towel meet Rangga?" Vara asked because he had not seen Rangga come out of his room.

"Well, here's the towel." Rangga shows a towel placed on Vara's study table.

"Oh so... Yeah, I got out first..." Vara turned around and came out of the room."

Rangga ended the activity to see photos of Vara and her two children. Exit the room and pass to the bathroom that is near the kitchen.

The atmosphere of breakfast this time looks different for Rangga. The usually silent state that he usually feels now seems interspersed by Yura's story. Vara painstakingly feeds Yura as usual and Aidan, who is just quietly enjoying his breakfast, has no intention of chiming in on Yura's story.

"Grandmother when to go home mom...? Yula has missed Grandma... Will grandma bring souvenirs from kampung Bunda?" Ask Yura.

"Tomorrow grandma came home with Tio's grandfather dear..." Vara wiped the remaining food scraps on Yura's lips.

"Didn't you see your sister eating?" Upset Aidan.

"And sister can talk while eating... Just tell me that you don't love Grandma anymore..." Yura glared her two eyes at Aidan.

"Yura... I can't say that to my sister... Brother Aidan must always love Grandma..." Vara stroked her daughter's hair.

"Yula wants to have a sister... Nda wants to have a bad brother like Aidan's sister..." Yura Whine.

Rangga choked on her food hearing her daughter's request. Vara immediately offered a drink towards Rangga who was immediately gulped down by him.

"You're Yura!"

"Why Yula?"

"Didn't you see Dad eating? You were noisy from earlier!"

"Maidan's... You continue eating it... It's not good to fight in front of food..." Vara softly said.

"Yula wants a sister... Why did you buy a little sister for Yula...? Yula's friends on a mother's sister's... Friends in the village and here many have a sister... Yula sendili has it..." Whine Yura again.

Vara's reddened face restrained the embarrassment in front of Rangga. He did not expect the request of Yura who always asked for her sister would he ask in front of Rangga. "Mother has not been able to give sister to Yura dear..." Answer Vara as she is.

"Why mother?? Where's it smooth to buy her baby sister?? Only father bought mother..."

"Baby sister is not bought dear..."

"Telus?"

Vara massaging her temple confused should explain how to Yura.

"Wait for your father and mother to get married then your father and mother will give a sister to Yura and sister Aidan..." Timpal Rangga.

Vara's eyes were perfectly rounded listening to the answer from Rangga's mouth. He looked towards Rangga who was reciprocated raising his shoulders indifferently by Rangga.

"Dad swallowed?? Groovy... Yula will have a sister... Yula wants a little sister, Dad..."

"Yes dear... Just pray that your father and mother can give you a little sister for Yura... If her sister is a boy, will Yura not love her sister??"

"Yula will love Yula's sister's father... But if the younger brother will like to tease Yula like big brother... Brother is also not cool to play father... My sister likes to be quiet... Yula likes it... Brother is like a statue..." Ejek Yura's.

Aidan snorted annoyedly hearing Yura's words which were indeed true. "You're the one who's too noisy! Brother doesn't like noisy people..." Typal Aidan who did not accept the blame.

"Whispering? Yula nda pellah belisik right mother...?" Yura asked towards Vara.

Vara chuckles at the debate between her two children that she used to listen to every day. "You always have something to fuss about every day..." Vara shook her head while smiling.

Rangga smiled looking at the scene before his eyes. Vara's exquisite smile plus both dimples on the left and right of her cheeks. Vara who felt noticed looked towards Rangga who was also looking towards him. Rangga's sharp eagle eyes that saw his sad eyes managed to make Vara's heart beat faster than usual. Vara lowered her face feeling both of her cheeks that were hot and must have been flushed.

"Wajah mama why melah?? Is your mom sick??" Panic Yura held both of Vara's cheeks.

"Eh, no dear..."

Rangga pulled thin both corners of his lips looking at Vara who was wrongly seen by him.
