TWILIGHT IN MEIRA'S HEART
Episode 3
On Sunday morning, the sun was so bright that it shone on the earth. There was the sound of birds coming from the branches of trees. Meira chose to stay in her room, and sat on the bed.
His finger flew over the keyboard. Meira should hate this task, because even on holidays, she is still busy with work. But not so with Meira, he actually really enjoyed his job, considering how lucky he could be accepted and work in the office where he works now. Many people are competing to be accepted and work in his office.
Sometimes it seems Meira frowned at the sign he was thinking. Her beautiful eyes only briefly turned to the food she had made earlier in the kitchen, before starting to do her office duties. He only tasted for a while and then returned to staring with full concentration to his laptop screen. The song with the theme of love that he played flowed beautifully in his room.
“Yess, done.” Meira clenched her hand.
“Not wasted all night I stayed up,” murmured
Just now he was about to feed the fried noodles into his mouth, the sound of Mama's voice from the front of the room rebuked him.
“Mirrr...do not eat on the bed, not good it.“
“You ate at the dinner table, Papa has been waiting for you there from earlier,” continued Mama
“Iya Ma.“ Sahut Meira while rushing to transport a plate containing food that has not been exhausted.
Meira runs towards the dining room, and Mama follows her from behind.
It was true Mama said, when Meira reached the dining room, Papa was already there, and patiently waiting for her.
“Sorry Pa, Papa so wait a long time,” said Meira regretfully
Papa turns to Meira “ Nothing.”
“Yuk breakfast,“ invite Papa . Meira nodded
“Mira had breakfast in the room Pa,“ said Mama while putting a plate containing apples that have been cut into pieces on the dining table.
Papa smiled, “You're working on what Mir?”
“Pa Bookkeeping, but now it's done.“ Meira answered while chewing on a piece of apple.
There is a feeling of regret and guilt in Meira, because it makes Papa and Mama wait a long time, even Mama had to follow him to the room. They are used to eating with three. Unless someone's not home.
“Sunday you didn't go for a walk Mir?“ ask Papa
“Kan job is done,“ Papa continued
“Later afternoon Pa, after Deni from outside the city.” Answer Meira
“Deni home today?” It was my turn to ask.
Meira nods “Ya Ma.”
Finish eating Meira helps Mama clean the dining table. He brought dirty dishes and glasses to the kitchen.
“If you still have work, just put the dishes and glasses there Mir “ said Mama while pointing at the sink where to wash dishes.
“Let Mama do the washing,” Mama continued.
“Mira alone who washed Ma, Mira's work is done kok,” stressed Meira
“Ya already then,” Mama nodded while returning to tidy up the fridge.
Her mother was very diligent and neat in the affairs of household chores.
Refrigerators, always tidied up and cleaned inside. From fruits, vegetables, drink bottles, and food all arranged neatly in the refrigerator.
The home inside and outside is always clean and tidy. From the terrace to the kitchen everything looks clean. Mama's collection plant pots are arranged in rows on the terrace of the house, there are also hung. Papa's collection books are neatly arranged in a bookcase. Tables and chairs both in the living room, family room and dining room are arranged neatly, coupled with decorations and green plants that make cool when entering the house. At Meira's house there is almost no dust because Mama diligently cleans it.
Meira tied up her thick black hair. He poured soap into the dish soap dispenser, then began to wash dirty dishes and glasses. Sometimes he sounded he was humming.
Finished washing, Meira put the dishes and glasses on a shelf near the sink to dry, then she cleaned the sink with a dry cloth. After that Meira mopped the kitchen floor so as not to be slippery, because splashed soap.
“Clean and fragrant.“ Meira said as she looked around the kitchen.
Meira can only help mama clean the house on weekends only, because she is a regular day, she has to go to the office from morning to evening, or sometimes if there is overtime, it can be until night.
After a short day's work, Meira swings her steps into the living room to join Papa and Mama watching television.
Meira also yelled and clapped at the time when the champion managed to add points, and was disappointed when the champion could not return the smash from the opponent.
“Seru also yes Pa, watch tennis,“ Meira said
“Ya, especially if we watch directly in the field, it is more exciting,“ replied Papa excited
“Sometimes invite Mira yes Pa, if Papa wants to watch it live,“ pinta Meira
“Mama is also coming,” Mama also said
Papa nodded, “Oke!”
As the second set went on, a house bell rang.
“There are guests,”pekik Meira
“Try you see who came Mir!” pinta Mama's
“Ya Ma,” Meira replied.
Then he moved from his seat to the front door. Meira looked surprised when she saw who was coming.
“Kok you're home, not only later in the afternoon?“ ask Meira.
“Why? You don't like me coming home sooner?” Deni asked back.
“Happy..happy,“ Meira replied with sparkling eyes.
“I'm just surprised, know-know you are in front of home” he continued.
“You know why I came home fast?” Ask Deni
“Because the work is done maybe” replied Meira doubtfully.

“Keep what?” Ask Meira
“Because I know, you must miss me a lot.” Deni said confidently.
Meira grinned
“Now you change clothes, we go yuk,“ take Deni.
Meira nodded.
“His guest is not invited to enter Mir,” Mama has suddenly appeared in the living room.
Meira turned his head, “Ya Ma, this is just to be invited in.“
“Siang aunt.” Deni nodded his head at Mama
“Siang Den, come in,” invite Mama
“Ya aunty.” AnswerPolite art
Meira invites Deni into the living room, so that Deni can chat with Papa and Mama while waiting for her to change clothes.
Papa looks still fun watching the tennis match.
“Siang Om.” Sapa Deni's.
“Ehh.. noon Den, let's sit here,“ replied papa. Deni nodded and sat down in the middle room chair.
“I change clothes first yes,” say goodbye Meira on Deni.
Deni nodded as he blinked his eyes, as if giving a code so that Meira would not leave him too long.
Meira smiled as she gestured okay.
