Trapped in Love Mbak

...****************...

In winter in Sakura Country made Abizar lazy to get out of bed. It has been a week the man of Japanese descent—Indonesia was living in the birthplace of his parents. However, his body still had not adjusted the bone-chilling cold in the winter like this. Especially on weekends, Abizar has no activities.

"Bang, wake up, woy! This afternoon. Mama was waiting for me from that." Abizar's biological brother, who was only two years of age with him, woke Abizar up violently. Because for the umpteenth time he had to shake his brother's body, but the brother seemed to not care.

"I flush too, nih!" aludra was so upset.

Abizar snorted in annoyance. He shook off the blanket that covered his body violently. He feels disturbed. "No other work, huh? I'm still going to sleep, I'm on vacation." That is the reason Abizar did not want to wake up early.

"It is precisely because of the holiday, so we and our families want to go for a walk, Bang. Come along, won't you?" exclaims Aludra while shaking her waist.

"Where to go?" abizar asked slightly. Aludra lowered her hand from the waist.

"You watch the Snow Festival at Resort Zao and ski there. That, right, has become our family's annual agenda if the winter is like this. Staying in Indonesia, anyway. So forget, right?"

Abizar thought for a moment. Remembering his childhood memories of having lived in Japan with his parents. Although he lived there for several years, Abizar always longed for his homeland. She chose to live with her uncle after she was a teenager.

"No, ah. The weather is so cold. Mending me to sleep," Abizar refused while laying down his body again. The man could not ski.

"So, no fun, no, brother. Excite you know, ski!"

"You really don't want to come, Bi? Weekends, all right, even sleeping?" Angelina's voice suddenly shrunk from the direction of the room door. Making Abizar stop slimming down.

Abizar sat down to see his mother approaching. Watching Angelina's movements then sat on the edge of her bed. Today their family plans to take a walk on the weekend. It's been Angelina's family's agenda.

"Come, Son! Mama misses us taking a walk to participate. This week you have learned a lot about work problems from Juno. Now, right, it's winter break. Juno also temporarily returned to Indonesia because there was a need. Papa you are also waiting," added Angelina while touching Abizar's hand.

"Lazy, Ma. The streets are only worth money" Abizar said lazily.

"This thing is like a hard man. Our papa's got a lot of money. The money will not last until seven derivatives and seven climbs" Aludra said.

Abizar just opened his eyes. His breath was rough. Indeed, he was lazy to go out of the house in such cold air. His body was not used to the snow.

Although living in Japan, the Abizar family does get used to speaking Indonesian if they are in their home. It was because Angelina did not want her children to forget the language of her beloved country. He wants to someday spend his old age there.

Abizar is already familiar with slang in Indonesia, while Aludra can only speak Indonesian which is taught by both parents. Aludra preferred to live in Japan rather than in Indonesia, while Abizar instead.

"You guys are going, yeah. Abi keep the house." Abizar refused, saying softly to his mother.

Angelina has a sad face. He had long wanted to travel with his two children. While Abizar is now in Japan, Angelina wants to take advantage of their moments together.

"Well, that, dong. It's just your son" said Angelina, shuffling Abizar's hair, "mama wait outside, yeah. Yuk, Al!" added Angelina while holding Aludra and taking her out of Abizar's room.

The road to Yamagata is accompanied by snow. Resort Zao is in the city. The Zao itself is famous for the existence of ice trees or jihyo. The ice trees will appear frozen when entering winter and it will look like a monster when seen at night. Every year, the Angelina family always took the time to vacation there. They always invited Abizar who was still living in Indonesia, but the man always refused.

"Skiing, yuk!" take Aludra along shortly after they reach Zao's inn.

"Dilangin do not want to ski," Abizar refused fiercely.

Aludra put on a faint smile at her brother. He believes that his brother is still traumatized because he was mired when they skied last time.

"Abang's still a skiing trauma, huh? Afraid of falling like that?" cibir Aludra teased her brother.

"No, lah. I don't like it." Abizar. Turned his face the other way.

"Hmmm .. but I don't believe it. Must be scared, right?"

Abizar snorted in annoyance. He did not want to be considered cool by his sister. "Yes, already. Let's prove that I'm not afraid to play ginian." Abizar challenges Aludra by snatching the ski-stick held by his sister. Aludra smiled seeing him.

"Wear the ski equipment first, Bang. Let's play it safe," said Aludra. Then handed the ski equipment consisting of; ski wear (ski clothes), helmet, ski boots, gloves, and glasses to his brother. Not to forget the man gave the ski board as a complement to the ski stick that will be used.

Abizar's legs trembled slightly, as he first stepped on the snow with his ski board. Aludra smiled faintly seeing her brother just silently while standing stiff.

"Why, Bang? He said not afraid," he rubbed it in a shitty style.

Abizar did not want to lose when he saw Aludra with his agility surfing on the snow. He was desperate to stick his stick in the snow and pushed his ski board to dart following the sister. However, instead of overtaking Aludra, Abizar instead glided freely in any direction. He could not balance his foot movements with the ski trails on the snow plains. He moves wherever the board takes him.

"Revelation!" abizar screamed as he was about to run over a woman. The woman turned her head in surprise, but could not avoid Abizar's rapidly darting body.

"Let'soo!" yelled the woman. No doubt their bodies collided, then rolled on the cold snow with a hugging position, then landed with the position of Abizar's body above the woman. For a moment their eyes were locked in silence. This is very fast and inevitable.

Well-favoured. A word that seeped in the heart of Abizar, to make men forget how to blink. Unknowingly Abizar was smitten with the beauty of the woman below him.
