Not infrequently the king found Surya sitting alone in the front yard of the house among the sunflowers that had bloomed.
There was no movement, the man was completely silent. Even until the minutes passed Surya was still at home there. Fortunately the weather today was not hot so he did not need to approach the boy to reprimand him to immediately take shelter.
The king stood only a few meters away from him, but the king's existence did not make him disturbed at all.
After school, the man's face looked bleak. Surya occasionally grimaced, I don't know what made him immediately hit by turmoil.
There are only a few people who can make Surya as he is today, if not for his unapproved love, then the other cause is his parents.
So with a single breath Surya smiled as someone patted him on the shoulder.
"To count ants?"
Surya glanced at the little ants that the king meant. Then shook slowly.
"I have a lot of mist counting ants" said Surya
The king chuckled lightly and his hands stretched out to the ants walking in groups like a predetermined line, the ants looking orderly walking.
"Lo if there is a problem with my story, don't be kayak gini" said the king
After thinking a few times the king decided to ask.
"Lo what's the problem? See them again?"
Surya's habit when he was asking the man always chose silence.
"So, I accidentally met you back home from school"
"Keep on what?" Ask the king
Somehow the king felt that he had to ask, that there would always be a place for his storytelling.
He knew that Surya was the type of person who was rarely upset, he would always be the most cheerful person in the house among them all. But lately the child is more often pensive.
"Gue didn't know what to do, on the one side I missed, it felt like at that time I wanted to run and continue to hug him"
Surya blinked a few times before continuing his words
"But on the other hand there was a whisper against my will. I want to make peace with everything but it turns out to be myself-"
"Gue can't trust myself"
His sight was again sidetracked by the ants carrying the food crumbs. Just to avoid the things that could make her cry right.
The man will never know how he stood under the drizzle of rain in the cloudy sky at that time.
Half-heartedly raging as a few meters in front of him was standing someone, he who should now be calling mama in a loud voice. But everything turned dark when there was someone else beside him who seemed so close.
The woman looked very affectionate towards her son, they walked together into the car after having a glance at him, but only for a moment because Surya immediately shifted his gaze.
It turned out not as bad as he imagined, but enough to make her look sliced.
"Emang according to you, I have to why, if until I actually do it, there is a possibility for him to hug me back?"
Now the king is confused. How could he possibly guess the contents of someone's heart.
This time he chose silence.
At least he can be a pretty good listener for Surya, this time.
"Lo who knew how I was at that time, they never cared how hard I tried to be the best"
"Liar can make them proud of the achievements I have"
"But all they see is the mistakes I have, how every day I have to deal with the riots at home"
"It seems that now I can see them happy with the new family they have now"
The house was supposed to be the most comfortable place for her to go home, the place where she was supposed to grow up and become an adult. Unlike the reality, Surya found himself in a dark room.
"And now, Lo's got us-"
At the end of it was a rope that led him, walking carefully.
"Gue and the others" said the king
Entering the long hallway, with a bright light. At that moment he began to know, at the end of the hallway, there was a place he deserved to call home.

It's still about the red ants and their friends. Surya seems to be looking more at the mature side of his best friend today, instead of nagging as he already is.
"Lo look at that ant"
The king pointed to a red ant who looked painstakingly hauling crumbs of food on its back. It took a few seconds before two more ants came to his aid. It looks easier than ever.
Surya followed what the man showed. Yeah, that's true. And they walked leaving some of their food for the ants that others came to take.
"And where's the Surya I know?"
The king embraced his best friend's shoulder.
"Lo can actually miss this all, because God believes Lo is capable, so point out that you will not give up"
"Udah, just walk, you will not be alone, let all the experiences that are a clue for you so dare to go further"
"I've seen you all along because I'm sure you are capable" said the king
Then pat his ass because it feels cramped later sitting there.
The man stood up, leaving Surya who looked smaller while sitting.
"It's so cool of me, ah tired of cool Mulu"
True said the king, he had long since dissolved in sorrow. And now maybe he can start a new beginning to find things that can make him happy.
"By the same way you feel like you've finished a chapter a day, it feels plong"
The man's teeth look so beautiful when he laughs.

Returning from Indomaret was somehow bad luck what followed him until now he ended up in the ER like this.
Candra approached her with an anxious-looking face, Seeing how Joshua was riding on the motorcycle, the boy had minor injuries to both his knees and palms.
His prone position with both hands served as a buffer before actually landing his body.
Please do not anyone imagine it, because Candra alone can not if you have to re-create the dramatic scene Joshua earlier.
At first Candra felt that the boy was working on her until there was absolutely no movement and Candra panicked.
He thought the boy would laugh as he approached, but unexpectedly the boy rubbed his watery eyes.
"Lo cry Jo?" Ask Candra
He had a big hand covering Joshua's face
"Jo, are you really crying?" Ask Candra to make sure
Joshua did not answer choosing silence.
This makes Candra more anxious, is there a mistake that the doctor did not mention earlier?
The boy's shoulders trembled violently the more panic Candra made them.
"Jo, you're not kidding anymore, are you? What's that sick? I'll call the doctor, right?"
But Candra sat back down when a hand pulled her away from her.
Joshua's eyes were right as if he had cried, his nose was also red.
"Rolex watches that you love me when the birthday is lost-gue lost-gue last time the motorbike serempets"
Candra's mouth was agape hearing jo's words just now.
"Lo cry not because someone is sick? But because Lo's watch is missing?" Ask Candra
Jo nodded"when the clock was expensive but I said so"
Candra slapped the top of her best friend's head.
"Lo nguin me huh? At home there's still got I don't kepake, Lo take it if you want"
"It's not about that-gue is still not willing" said Joshua
"Ikhlasin aja, itung-itung alms, hopefully that can clock the person who really needs"
Candra knew, Jo still wasn't fully able to be sincere. But after hearing his words just now the boy looked even more peaceful.
"Does anyone know?" Ask jo
Had it not been, she hoped Candra would not have told who. For this time only, he should not bother the others again.
"Mahen same Noval is already on the road he said soon nyampe"
But it turns out, again-he's a hassle.
...Sometimes we have to be fine in order to have no problem...
