LET'S DIVORCE!

LET'S DIVORCE!
Familiarity


"You sit down if you don't want to help, but don't go out to see Sutopo." Nagara said that after putting a cup of coffee on the table, the man with the sweet face smiled once again, his hands moved rubbing Nana's hair slowly, then his legs turned around, wanting to move away.


"Nagara."


"Yes?"


"What age is he?" this time Nana could not ignore her curiosity, the man before her had a very similar nature and facial features to Na Jaemin, the Korean idol who became the only man who made Nana crazy. That resemblance, and one thing inside Nagara made Nana unknowingly interested.


Nagara curled her lips wider, Nana could be annoying to him, but if Nana is stubborn, where Nagara is a stone head. Nana can throw him out hundreds of times, but for whatever sake Nagara will still approach Nana a thousand times.


"30. We could be five years old, Na. You're 25, right?"


Once again Nana's forehead creased in disarray, the woman stared at the eyes of Nagara who was focused on her, finally she asked seriously, "Lo how do you know so much about me? Papa's only been here for 30 minutes, maybe not 30 Papa's just a story about me. Unless Papa is again promoting me to find a potential ghost."


"First, I do know a lot about you." In the past, I knew the most about you, the sentence only dared Nagara continue in her heart, "second, second, om emang not only stories about you, the third seems to be Om Sutopo is looking for a future daughter-in-law, because he said you are old but do not practice."


Instead of being relieved, Nana's curiosity even became more, the long word from Nagara's mouth did not answer her question at all, she just wanted to know, she said, why Nagara acted as if she was a figure who had known Nana for a long time, even though Nana did not have a single memory of a human named Nagara.


"Why do you know so much about me?" Nana repeated her question more specifically.


Nagara only responded with her sweet smile, Nana was sure the man's teeth were thrashing asking Saliva for dry so long Nagara's mouth was open.


"Why don't you know so much about me?" Nagara instead asked another question, "you alone can answer that question."


"I'm sick if you don't remember me at all, Kelana. Remember me, Nagara Alfian."


***


Nana came home with many questions in her mind, Nagara did not lie about Papa not allowing her to enter, the gate of her three-meter house was locked from the inside. With a tissue-thin patience, Nana used one of her legs to kick the iron gate while shouting like a madman, ending up grimacing herself with grimaces as her legs repeatedly clashed with iron.


"PAPA!! PAPA'S OPEN!!!"


"MAMA!!"


Bruk!


Bruk!


"Woy, Dad!!"


"YES PATIENCE!!" from inside there, Nana could hear the faint voice of Mama's cry, "MAMA AGAIN GRAB THE KEY FROM PAPA!"


Mama opens the lock in a hurry scared if her daughter out there melts in the sun. Nana is just a lazy woman who rarely goes out of the house, but for whatever sake Mama loves Nana like a mother who loves her baby, no matter how much Nana makes Mama upset.


"Papa's part is lacking what kind of work, anyway?!" when the gate shifted and her mother's face was seen before Nana's eyes, the woman immediately nagged, "Udah smells the earth, the behavior of the rich child."


"Na, she's your dad, so-so, too," said Mama, looking up softly, then grabbed Nana's hand to walk faster inside, "shower, gih. Abis helped Mama cook."


Nana nodded, the woman raised her eyebrows again ignited emotions hearing her mother's words, "Mama did not forget 'wouldn't I say I want to sleep this morning?"


"Udah's nine, Na. The weather is also hot, Mama guarantees you will not be comfortable if you sleep again." again Mama issued an argument to persuade her only child, "Same Mama, yes?"


"Mama why is it weird, anyway. Back then Papa, now Mama, even that side neighbor was crazy."


Then Mama just left, a myriad of questions grew in Nana's head until it felt like it wanted to explode, finally inevitably, Nana cleans her body and then down helps Mama cook food that is too much compared to the usual portion.


Although Nana is stubborn and does not like to be arranged, but Nana still loves Mama.


Papa too, a little.


***


The upright pendulum clock in the corner of the living room chimed not too hard, but enough to circulate echoes in all corners of the room, the sun was already at the top of the head, and the weather was really hot, really hot, Nana could also feel her body starting to itch from sweating, she put the last piece of pineapple fruit on the plate, then took a deep breath, she felt tired.


"Nana's going up, yeah, Ma," he said scratching his back behind his shirt, "Nana's a puff, the smell of the kitchen too. Nana's gonna take another shower."


"Yes. If it's gone down, yeah."


After Mama mastered the kitchen by herself, the 45-year-old woman with an ideal body brought a plate containing pieces of pineapple to the dining table, finally after almost three hours, the entire cooking was finished.


"Excuse me, Auntie."


"Lho, has Nagara come?" Mama's eyes sparkled, the apron still wrapped around her body wrapped in a blue negligee, not caring about it she approached the figure of a man standing rigidly in the dining hallway, who was not interested in her, Mama could see the plastic with their famous bakery hanging on Nagara's fingers.


"Sorry, Nagara just brought this, Auntie." Nagara grimaced heartlessly as she held out the plastic to Mama, "Nagara wants to make her own but the kitchen can't be used, Tan."


"I'm not bothered, anyway!" Mentari guided his guest to sit in one of the dining chairs, "Kan Aunty said bring aja body, you come with a Aunt seneng, you know!"


"You wait here, yeah. Just go down again. Aunty wants to go back first, nyamperin om you."


"Yes, Tan. Thanks."


After Mama left, Nagara sat quietly in her chair with eyes that ventured everywhere.


'A lot has changed, Na. Including you.'


Nagara is deep in her own heart, 15 years is indeed a long time for things to change, but the change from Nana is the last thing Nagara expects to change.


"Lho?! How are you here?!"


Just down, but Nana had widened her eyes irritated, the woman pointed at Nagara's face from the stairs with her index finger, then took a thousand steps to approach Nagara.


"Lo nguntit, huh?!"


"Tante said, we're going to eat together this afternoon. That's why I came."


"Lo affects Papa the same way Mama used what the hell until they deket lo when you haven't got a day here?!"


Nagara gave her lips sadly, the man looked at Kelana wounded, "I know 15 years is a long time. I never expect that you will remember me as the man you love, at least you can remember me as a big brother."


Nagara grabs Nana's hand, hanging from her side, and takes over Nana's entire attention by making her eyes collide, then says what she could not say.


"Didn't you feel any kind of falsehood about me, Na? It's me ... Nagara Alfian."
