THE SOUL OF MAYRA
18 (Polaroid photo #2)

"Nothing's."

From a distance Fara breathed a very long sigh. Watching Reynar's ridiculous behavior makes him want to award her a bogem. Really, this one's friend is unusual. It's so emotionally draining.

"Your girlfriend is beautiful."

The sentence was thrown from Reynar's dilapidated mouth. And managed to pull the eye shot from the bule man. Reynar left after that, not caring about the two bulls.

"Gue didn't manage to find a photo." Reynar sat down next to Fara. They're in the front garden of the apartment building. The goal is still to look for photos that are hit by the wind.

Fara hits Reynar's upper arm. He was eager to shower his friend with hundreds of punches. But never mind, just hold it.

"What's playing hit me, Ra!!?" furious Reynar. He looked at Fara with a frown.

Fara breathed again. Near Reynar did make him tired quickly. "We're home."

Fara got up, was about to leave but was prevented by the question Reynar asked.

"Stop nyari, huh!?" Reynar is still sitting. Just looking at Fara who was already standing behind him. "Lo, is that it? In vain dong I help nyari, if the ngajak nyerah first."

In that instant Fara also sat back in his original place. He looked straight ahead. Only his eyes were pointing forward, but his gaze was blank. Pseudo highlights.

"Maybe the photo looks normal. But not really, Rey. That photo means something to me." Fara let out her heart without being asked. Yes, maybe it's his heart that defines a lost photo as something that means something to him.

"Gue is not. Why do you tell stories?" reynar said lightly.

Fara closed her eyes for a moment. Then, look lazy to Reynar. "Can't he be a guy who is good to vent? Very good from the past!" sulk Fara.

"Oh!" Reynar rests his head on the head of the chair. "Next, I'm horrified."

Fara looked blankly ahead. I was preparing to tell back.

"No way to know 'is the same veil girl marun in the photo?" asked Fara not looking at it one bit. Without waiting for Fara's answer to speak again. "He's my brother, Om Heru's son Papa's brother. Her name is Mayra."

"Continue?" Reynar is interested in listening more.

"He is now an orphan. Om Heru and Aunt Ratna left their son on the day of elementary school."

Fara paused for a moment. A round of tears felt ready to slide from the fertilizer.

"When everyone is happy, only he is not. At a young age, her parents were called. No wonder how fragile he is, Rey."

Reynar nodded faintly even though Fara did not see him. "Now he's in Indo just like your grandfather?"

Fara nodded. "But, Grandpa entered Mayra into the pesantren in order to get up again. He was a cheerful man. Cheap smile. Means to me."

"Even if her parents aren't around, she looks fine-fine. I envy Mayra, Rey...."

Reynar's forehead is wrinkled. He didn't understand Fara talking like that, what did he mean? Envy his brother who is orphaned, why?

"Well, why is that?" ask Reynar. "You should be grateful that there are still parents. It's the opposite. Envy your orphaned brother."

Fara smiled faintly. Reynar did not see it because Fara Daritadi looked straight ahead without looking.

"Not to be explained. I won't understand, Rey." Fara paused the twilight atmosphere that was immersed in old memories. "And now you know what a polaroid photo means?"

Reynar nodded. He pulled himself to sit up straight. "Sorry deh. It's not my fault, Ra. The wind that gated."

Fara just smiled. Still straightening his eyes forward.
