The Time Will Arrive
Chapter 5 small meaning

I swallowed the bitter taste that appeared in my esophagus.'' no, ma. May want to talk about the preparation of the midterm exam, the same division of majors for grade 3 later, Tina became a senior grade 3 High School.''

the worried expression on my face faded, but not completely.''oh. then, papa can represent, right?''

Ah. of course, always papa. Papa who came When I was injured during training, what met my homeroom teacher, Papa, was the answer to every question I didn't understand. Papa who bought a sanitary pad when I menstruated the first time, Papa also awkwardly introduced me to the mall to buy new underwear when his daughter was puberty.

The papa I sent the message to when I didn't have an invitation to go home, or had any urgency at school. Papa,nPapa And Papa.

Meanwhile, Mama just returned home after a cooling dinner and finally did not eat. She had a blank look in her eyes every time I spoke. My mom is busy with everything except me.

Mama always assumed the empty place would be filled by the Father, the place remained uninhabited, waiting until he returned.

'' Mama has to interstitial Nadiia therapy, Tina. you know that.'' Yes trying to explain.

Yes, I know I know Nadia can't be left waiting alone.I know my sister is my top priority.I know, but I want to keep trying.

yesterday Mama touched the tip of my cheek, just for a moment before pulling it back. Cold hands. Her voice softened when she asked, You understand right, Tina?''

I just nodded.'' later Tina asked papa.''

'' give your homeroom teacher your mama's mobile number. If there is anything important, can call mom.''

mama was silent, again busy with her cup which now contained cold tea. Before leaving, I wanted to make sure of one thing.

''ma, this week there is also a match. if you have time, come yes.''

that blank look did not disappear.''what match?''

I smiled Getir.'' no, not nothing.''

Sometimes, little things like the fact that you forgot about the only topic I talked about for the last 2 weeks actually became the most painful.

in contrast to my house, the conditions in the house can not at all be called quiet.with the buzz of the queen fan with the sound of cooking utensils, the sound of television and radio unpretentious In loud volume, the, dog barking and the sound of computer games accompany each other.

and in the midst of that noise, there lived Arga, Aunt Velin and Om Jonathan. Arga's parents were older than our friends' parents.

they got married at a fairly advanced age, and worked for almost a decade until they were finally given children. From what I heard, it was not an easy endeavor, involving dozens of visits to doctors, drugs, and other medical institutions, various tests, and painful labor.

arga almost lost her mother when she was born. Perhaps, that was what even strengthened the three of them as a family. As the only child, it is natural that Arka became the golden child in his family.

However, the opposite applies to the price is very protective of his parents.once our classmates ridicule them as Grandpa and Grandmother, and evening, he said, price ends up in the teacher's room with his bloody hand and his opponent's broken tooth.

aunt Velin and also Om Jonathan are the type of couple who still hold hands when crossing the road, still feeding each other and cutting food for each other.

They are a couple who always secretly exchange smiles, as if sharing a secret between them.The look of their eyes softens when staring at each other, like two teenagers Kasmaran who just dated yesterday.

they make others want to believe in a love that lasts forever, even for someone as skeptical as I am.

''hi, Tina!'' Om Jonathan was reading the evening paper in the living room when I came in. There was a bowl of peeled beans next to him. Here, join, tin.''

I sat next to him, picked up a few beans, then chewed slowly.good price, om?''

Om Jonathan moves his chin towards the stairs.''ordinary, games, like no tomorrow. so yes, the habits of today's children?'' abugn.

I Smiled.'' yes, mostly''

'' in the days of Om, there was no such thing as a video game. After school, we worked to support the family and make money for college.'' Jonathan said it without a patronizing tone, and I've heard stories of his youth.

'' but, he still had time to stop by the shop where the aunt worked and tease the aunt every afternoon.''Aunty Velin suddenly came, brought 4 glasses of cold orange juice, then handed one to me.

'' so, Tina don't believe everything Om says.'' she told me.

I was grinning.'' ready, aunt.'' I told aunt Feline.

''duh, just open the company's secrets, nih..'' By the way, Jonathan pretends to be pouting.'' by the way, next week POMG, huh? your mom can come?''

I was stunned for a moment, unsure How to answer the question, ''' It seems not, om.'' I finally answered it.'' Mama is busy with Nadia's therapy because this month the doctor is trying a further stage.

having mastered basic skills such as standing and walking while holding on to the rails, as well as playing with the ball and bribing himself, Nadia is considered ready for a new type of activity.

''oh, that's great, '' Aunt Felin commented. ''but, what's your news, Chris? how are your grades going to be in school? maths lessons are hard, aren't they? or later want aunty to accompany when meeting Susi?''

those simple words made me smile for a moment. I tried to neutralize the expression before replying, That's fine, aunt. Medial class helps a lot, anyway.if the problem p o m g, Maybe Later papa who came.''' it was not entirely a lie. earlier this afternoon, it was, I've sent a message to Papa's phone, though it hasn't been answered until now.

'' If there is a need, do not hesitate, yes.'' Om Jonathan passed the remaining beans to me, then drove me slowly.'' Yes, please help Om divert that tech-crazy kid from his computer because he needs afternoon sunshine.''

I laughed a little, sad and haru feeling that had crept up instantly vanished, ''okay, boss.''

in his room, the price was engrossed with a new game he discovered last month, the result of talks with Rifki, our clubmate.the game required participants to form teams, then devise a strategy to win.

there's only one exception in that team, not all members can be trusted.

that's what's exciting about this game, Tina, said Arga when I started complaining because he cut down on our hangout time for the sake of playing his game.

this is like a life exercise, not everyone can you believe, feed that looks good or has good motives though, everyone who has a hidden agenda, not everyone who has a hidden agenda, and someone you think you know very well could be someone who turns out to be completely foreign.
