Mysterious Gus
#47. Wounds
..."My job is not to heal his wounds, but to get used to the pain of them,"...
...Farelle...
Farel sat on the hood of a car overtaken by Tiam. The hands of the two are equally crossed with straight views. Nothing they talked about for a while. Just shut up with an occasional sigh.
Tiam turned to Farel, looking at the face of the man to make sure what would have been said until the man was silent long enough and often sighed.
"Something bothers you?" Finally open the sound.
"Not really. I was confused where to ask. I also don't want to ask,"
"Who?"
"Adjii,"
Now replace Tiam who sighed, "He's fine and often met Father Xander as well as Mr. Hutama. He's looking for your whereabouts,"
Farel turned his attention to Tiam upon hearing Tiam's explanation, "How is my Ummah doing?" Only the umma was the one Farel was most worried about. The trauma of his childhood could not be cured when he found out that his biological father approached the umma.
"Mrs Raima is fine. I think, slowly Madame Raima began to forgive the jerk," Tiam's explanation made Farel sigh again, saying, between his gratitude his umma is fine and his anxiety is afraid that the umma is close again to the man who unfortunately has the status of his biological father.
"I can't forgive him. He hurt my Umma, Tiam," Farel said softly.
"It is not unforgiving, it is not healing yet. My brother went to heal and accept everything, right? Slowly but surely, I'm sure you'll heal," Tiam rubbed Farel's shoulder to strengthen.
"For one year I continued to see psychiatry, but there were no significant changes. The nightmare continues to haunt me. Not healed, but the more pain I felt," Farel lowered his head, hiding his reddened eyes ready to shed tears. Those memories of the past were completely eating away at his soul and mind.
Indeed, for a year in Paris, Farel regularly visited psychiatry without the knowledge of Hyeon and Ae Ri. But instead of improving, his condition is getting worse.
"I have to how? If I could cure him, or even replace him, then I would, "Tiam looked down at Farel's already brother-like figure with a sad look.
Farel smiled faintly and rubbed Tiam's coarse hair, "I'm fine. My job is not to heal, but to get used to the wound. This wound can no longer be healed. The wound is me" Farel said calmly.
"I don't want you getting hurt,"
Farel chuckled slightly and carried Tiam leaning on his shoulder. Let's assume what people think, but Farel think they both need a backrest. Tiam was like a sister to him. Because Tiam also he can survive, Tiam is the one who always strengthen him, of course also with Xander.
"I'm fine,"
"Don't say that if the facts are different from what you feel!" Tiam said annoyed and broke away from Farel's embrace.
Farel again could only chuckle and wipe Tiam's hair. For Farel, there is no point in saying that he is not okay, because everything will remain the same bad, or even worse. Then only the phrase "i am good" can Farel say.
"Oppa Tiam!" Ae Ri came carrying Tiam's phone, making the two men turn their heads.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone called. When I answered, the call was immediately switched off, " explained Ae Ri.
"Who? Grandpa Xander? But I'm blocking the nom-"
"His name is Crazy Girl with <3 emojis," Ae Ri's cut makes Tiam break the pattern and Farel smile teasingly.
"Who is he? You like a girl so much that there's a symbol like that in her contacts?" Toda Farel, Tiam's face flushed instantly.
"I met him in the park the night he left. He scolded me all out because I was crying," Tiam explained without hiding anything.
"When I told you not to cry" Tiam only gave an innocent childlike voice to Farel. The swab in the head was back Farel gave.
"Contact back! It could be that she's scolding you because Ae Ri is lifting up,"
"Yes, Oppa. I don't want him to misunderstand. He's my eonni candidate" said Ae Ri, teasing Tiam.
Tiam met with embarrassment and re-contacted on behalf of Crazy Girl<3 in front of Farel and Ae Ri.
"Assalamu'alaikum," Tiam said as the call was connected.
"Where are you? Cheated on? Da? Can't be contacted from the morning? Why call? Just go on there with your love! Be complacent! I don't need to be la-"
"She's my sister, Ermira," Tiam cut off before the girl rambled her deafeningly.
Ae Ri giggled amusedly at the babble of the girl called Ermira by her oppa. Farel also only smiled thinly while shaking his head, astonished, rigid Tiam was met with a girl who seemed very bar-bar.
"Lo never said he had a jackass! Lying, right?!"
"I'm not lying. Now I'm not in my homeland to see my brother and sister,"
"Where?"
Tiam turned off the call and changed it to a vidio call. A beautiful girl with dark hair. The pretty girl's face looked tangled with annoyance.
"Please promise not to tell anyone where I am!" Said Tiam who was hailed by Ermira.
"I was in Paris to see my brother and sister,"
"Big me, Farel," Tiam pointed the screen of his phone at Farel. The girl smiled awkwardly.
As usual, just a flat face that Farel showed, "He's not cheating," said Farel made Ermira even more embarrassed.
"I'm Ermira, Brother," great-grandson of Ermira.
"Farel, man,"
"She's my sister, Karaya," Tiam alternated onto Ae Ri's face.
Ae Ri smiled sweetly as she waved her hand, "Hi, Eonni! I'm Ae Ri Karaya. Just call me Karaya. I'm Oppa Tiam's sister. The one who picked up the call was me because Oppa's phone was on. Sorry, Eonni," Ae Ri's chat made Ermira speechless there. Rather than the ravings of Ae Ri, she is more salpok same beautiful face nan smooth girl.
"You don't want to introduce yourself?" Tiam made a sound as Ermira remained silent.
"Ah, yes, I'm Ermira. I'm sorry, I'm accusing the no-no" awkward Ermira.
"It's okay, it's a natural thing. By the way, Eonni is so beautiful, it's only natural that my Oppa fell for Eonni,"
Ermira smiled shyly, "You are also beautiful,"
"Have believed, right?" Tiam showed his face again.
"Sorry,"
"It's okay,"
"He speaks Indonesian?" Ermira asked quietly, even though Farel and Ae Ri could still hear.
"I'm from Korea. I can speak five languages, Korean, Indonesian, Mandarin, English and French, "Ae Ri immediately replied which made Ermira even more embarrassed and insecure.
"That's great," murmured Ermira.
"I'll be back in two days. What are you bringing?" Tiam diverted the conversation.
"Anything, which is important is good to eat," Ermira is not a girl who likes expensive items, she prefers good food. In fact, he was willing to spend a lot of money just to buy the satisfaction of the middle village.
"Yes, I'm closing, huh?"
"Yes, be careful there. Say hello to your brother and sister,"
"Assalamu'alaikum,"
"Wa'alaikumussalam,"
"It turns out you already have a girl," Farel's tease made Tiam chuckle.
"I'm not sure. God could have found us to be separated. I don't know why I fell in love with her, either,"
"Don't cross the line in feelings,"
"Yes, I always hold fast to the religion that I profess. I also did not tie him to any special relationship. He alone claimed to be my lover, and stupidly I was just a yes," explained Tiam made Farel and Ae Ri laugh.
Tiam was a convert from the age of 10, after two months of living with Xander.
"It's good that way,"
"Eonni was so beautiful. Oppa is great at picking girls," replace the seductive Ae Ri.
"If she's not pretty, Oppa won't fall for her" Tiam joked, making the sweet girl laugh.
"Take me to my Eonni-Eonni! Eonni Fisha and Eonni Ermira. I like them,"
"Oppa will definitely find you with him,"
"When? I can't wait. We'll meet papa too, right?"
Farel tried to keep smiling. Get off the hood of the car and hug the girl. Not even in that embrace.
"Patience, Honey. After everything improves, the papa you want will be Oppa meet," whispered Farel lirih.
"I love Oppa,"
"Oppa loves you too" said the two men.
For Farel and Tiam, Ae Ri was their queen. Ae Ri grew up like a princess. Not many meet people, home schooling, special schools, never snapped and all his wishes will be fulfilled. Do not forget all the beauty of Ae Ri who is routinely cared for by beauty people specifically for Ae Ri.
For them, Ae Ri Karaya is everything.
