We Are Together
Forty

Darel withdrew his burly right hand and gave Keysa freedom. Now that Keysa could breathe a sigh of relief, Keysa could now stand up straight again unlike earlier who had lowered his head since Darel flanked his neck from the shopping place earlier.

"You wait here first huh, Keysayang? I want to nuker money first. Remember that! Don't go anywhere."

Keysa crossed his hands in front of his chest, he nodded slowly in response, his lips still pouting because of the action of Darel earlier.

Keysa looked at Darel's back that was disappearing, he turned to the side of— to see a foreign man who was playing claw machine or claw machine doll, sometimes he grumbled bitterly because of the difficulty of reaching the doll. Keysa who saw it immediately laughed in his heart.

Ten seconds later, Darel came holding ten coins. He smiled at Keysa. "Well, what are you going to play?"

Keysa's smile then expanded and he pointed at the claw machine of the doll immediately. Darel reflexively turned his head in the direction that Keysa had just pointed. Darel nodded in agreement. Keysa cheered happily, he grabbed Darel's sturdy arm, both of which went hand in hand to get closer to the claw machine.

Darel offered Keysa five coins, and Keysa gladly accepted them. Keysa just wanted to cry when two coins have vanished—but he has not been able to doll at all, even though he has not been able to.

Darel only smiled when he heard the babbling that came from Keysa's tiny mouth, it was so adorable.

"Tau ah, I'm the same as a claw doll machine!" Keysa.

Darel ruffled Keysa's hair fondly. "Please Keysayang, let me try."

Keysa agreed. Darel then inserted his coin and he tried to reach the doll but was unsuccessful. Darel did not give up, for the second time he re-inserted coins and tried to stamp the doll again.

"Yeay, Darel got it!" Shouted Keysa excited when he saw Darel managed to get a white tiger doll that looks funny in his eyes.

Darel smiled and offered the white doll that now belonged to him. "This is for you tiger princess. He looks as fierce as you."

Keysa pursed his cute lips, his hands outstretched to receive the doll from Darel's efforts.

Aletta is currently wearing a tank top combined with short jeans. He was sitting on a navy sofa located on the balcony of his sister Keysa—'s room. Aletta herself is busy playing games on her phone screen. Sometimes he looked up at her face to look at the beautiful afternoon sky. Blue color slowly turns yellow, orange, to reddish—which is named twilight.

Alletta is very focused on playing the game, of course he does not want to lose. Alletta hated what was called defeat. His fingers kept moving. Pressing the phone screen. For him it takes a struggle, no day but to fight. Playing games is one of his hobbies, for some reason he really likes to play games rather than reading books or writing— like other girls in general.

Alletta gritted her teeth irritated, why did she have to lose?

"Nob all anjir! I'm a good doang." sorry.

Alletta tucked her hair behind her dangling ears covering part of her face because she had looked down.

Dozens of clothes were scattered in the bed queen size belongs to Keysa— he had already cleaned an hour ago. So Alletta doesn't have to worry anymore if Keysa comes home later.

The faint roar of the motor sounded successfully diverted Alletta's entire attention. Sontak Alletta immediately moved from the sofa in navy— and then she stood up. He put his favorite phone in his pants pocket.

Alletta swung her legs to get closer to the balcony railing. Both of his palms he used to hold the balcony railing. He looked down at the two people who were talking— - not even Alletta knew.

"Gue wants to have a boyfriend like Keysa's sister." he muttered softly, but his eyeballs did not escape from Darel and Keysa.

Sontak Alletta patted his mouth softly. What the fuck is this mouth? Why does her mouth like to talk so carelessly like just now, huh?

Keysa's smile expanded, fia was happy to see Linda laughing like that even though she wasn't with her daddy. To be honest, Keysa wants his family to be whole like his other friends. Sometimes he envies his friends who still have a full family. What is he who only lives with his mommy, even from a small age Keysa does not know his daddy, boro-boro see his daddy's face—his daddy's name alone he does not know. He laughed bitterly, laughing at himself that looked pitiful.

Linda circulated her gaze when her television was already showing an ad, suddenly catching Keysa who was standing sculpting a meter away from her. Linda smiled before she started talking. "Eh, mommy's beautiful son has come home yet."

Keysa jumped in shock when he heard his mommy say just now, a second later he smiled. Keysa then stepped back to get closer to Linda who was sitting on the sofa while watching television that still displays advertisements. "Yes, Keysa just came home mom," Keysa said as he grinned the horse.

"Where did this lovely mother's son end up?" Linda asked as she slipped Keysa's dangled hair child forward.

Keysa bit his inner cheek. Asked like that—he got confused.

Honest or lying, huh?

Keysa cleared his throat slowly, trying not to get nervous. "Walking at school, mom."

Linda was silent for a moment, did her Keysa— children just walk with Varo? Or Nindhi?

Linda patted the army— colored sofa softly hinting Keysa to sit next to her. Keysa who had understood was directly sitting on the sofa without refuting.

Linda grabbed Keysa's fingers. "Let's take a walk with Varo, huh?" Linda guessed with a glowing face.

Keysa turned to Linda, then she shook her head slowly.

"Oh, mommy knows! It must be Nindhi, right?" tanyanya while raising one eyebrow.

Keysa shook his head and smiled sweetly. "Just like my boyfriend, mom. But not the same brother Varo." he said, then laughed a little.

Linda's forehead then frowned. Boy friend? What's-her-name?

"But I wasn't told to go in first, Key? Mommy wants to know your friend,"

Keysa's cheeks suddenly crimson. "Mommy!" Keysa whines and hugs Linda.

Linda's smile rose as she looked at Keysa who was timid like a cat. Linda's right hand was raised to stroke Keysa's soft hair fondly.

"Yes, you rest... Do not forget to take a shower first, baby, you smell tau," he said as he wagged his palms in front of his nose. He smiled broadly.

Slowly but surely. Keysa took off her embrace from Linda, she pursed her tiny lips cutely. Next he sniffed his clothes. "Where is the smell, mom? Keysa mah always smells." looks good.

Linda smiled widely, she really liked to tease her youngest child. "Yes, baby, no smell, mommy was just joking around," Linda said as she ruffled Keysa's hair fondly.

Keysa grabbed his tote bag and he pulled out a box of egg martabak, Keysa then thrust the egg hammer right in front of his mommy. "Special for mommy,"

Linda smiled sweetly and then she took over a box of martabak eggs from Keysa's palm. "Thank you dear mommy's son."

Keysa smiled, he nodded quickly. "Yes, Keysa went upstairs first, mom," she broke up. Before going to her room, Keysa first kissed Linda's cheek.
