Being born five minutes earlier than her twin is natural, but a long enough burden is on Fera's mind.
Why so, because she felt she was a sister in charge of her sister. Honestly, in this sweet girl's little heart, she also needs the figure of a 'Big Brother,' but she never ignores the desire, aka ignore it.
"I'm the biggest kid and should be a good role to my sister!"
That's what Fera always says in her mind while staring confidently in front of the mirror.
Feli may be Fera's very close twin in both the environment and family relationships, however. There are some things Feli doesn't know in a Fera.
Andi Saputra, is the one who might be said to be one hundred percent knowing how exactly the figure of Fera.
He was Fera's childhood best friend since five. When they were teenagers, they rarely met, only occasionally if Andi returned to Indonesia, because Andi settled and went to school in California, United States. Andi's parents and Fera Feli's parents are pretty close business associates.
Almost every day, Fera tells whatever story she experienced to Andi, and vice versa. Sometimes they also make video calls to let go of the longing.
Yes. They are good friends and love each other like brothers.
Fera feels comfortable telling stories with Andi because she feels like there is a significant brother figure that she has always needed, not that her twin is not by her wishes. Still, Fera feels sad, or she can not tell Feli, she will tell Andi.
"Hey, Andi! How are you?"
Andi receives a text message from Feli.
"Well, Fel, how are you doing? Anyway, why are you texting me? hahaha"
"I'm good too, hmm, not a big deal, want to talk with you a little bit. is it okay or not?"
"What is it? Tell me. I'm so curious."
"Emm, but how's it? When did you return to Indonesia?"
"There are no plans yet, but she wants to be able to return home next month. By the way, what do you want to ask, Fel?"
"Oh, well. But first, please don't tell Fera. I want to ask one thing. Hmmm. Did Fera tell you something about a boyfriend, love, or something like that?"
"Love? Do you mean dating? Hmm ... As far as I know, there's no one on her, Fel. But yes, I'm afraid he hasn't told me yet. Why Fel?" Andi was silent. Simple questions, but Feli rarely asks things like this about her twin.
"Nothing, I'm just asking, Andi."
For the second time, Andi was speechless and confused. This time, he didn't know what to answer because there was something that he couldn't tell Feli, who was related to her.
Almost ten minutes, Andi has not replied to Feli's text. He finally tried to respond to the text message.
"Wow, it's not a story yet. Why Fel? So curious, hahaha."
One day later, Feli did not reply to Andi's last message. I don't know what's wrong and what's happening with her. That's all that's in Andi's mind.
"Why did Feli ask that? Does he have any bad feelings about Fera? It's rich that something is wrong."
Andi decides to contact Fera without telling her what Feli is doing. Even though she asks if anything happened, she chooses to shut up until Fera tells him everything.
Andi called Fera, but she did not answer it; it had been two days. Fera can't be contacted because she is busy helping her parents at home after school graduation.
Riiing.
"Hello Ndi, sorry. I'm a busy little today, complicated a lot of business. How about, what's wrong?" Fera called back Andi.
"Yes, I've guessed you're busy, haha, no Fera, there's nothing wrong."
"So, how's California?"
For twenty minutes, Andi and Fera talked on the phone while joking. After the atmosphere had melted slightly, Andi started asking things related to Feli's question.
"Fera, is your problem can be handled?"
"Who do you mean, Ndi?"
"About Daffa. The problem is not over yet?"
"Hmm, that's it. I am also confused."
"What? I don't get it. Just talk directly is easy, Fer,"
"He's too close with Feli. I'm a little hard to find a gap."
"So? What's going on? Before it's too late, stop everything."
"I don't know, and I'm just going the flow, too late? What do you mean? Wait, Andi, can we talk again later? My mom's calling me." Fera said, agitated, and avoided Andi's question.
That was a brief conversation that gave absolutely no answer to Andi's curiosity. But on the other hand, Andi did not want to put too much pressure on Fera about this.
On a reasonably cloudy afternoon, Fera stared out through her bedroom window, thinking about what was happening.
"What should I do? Everything happened. It's not possible if I told Feli about this. She's going to be very down."
Indeed, Fera had told her this problem to Andi, her best friend. But he still hasn't found the best solution to his problem.
A few minutes after, Fera daydreamed and thought about her problems; suddenly, there was a knock on the door to surprise Fera.
knock knock
"Fer, what else? Sleeping?"
I heard my voice from outside the bedroom door.
"Ma, just come in." Fera opened the door.
"Again? Lately, Mama noticed you a lot of snacking that, what's wrong?" entreated Mama.
"I have nothing to do, Ma. Hmm, why Ma? What's wrong? Feel where?"
"Oh, if there is what the story is, Feli again to Mama's minimarket to buy snacks to be at home. Hmmm, Fer..."
Instantly my mother fell silent and continued her conversation.
Fera just fell silent with curiosity.
"I need to tell you something about Feli..."
'As for what, yes, why should it be one-on-one like this, as if this is an important conversation,' Fera said in her heart.
"Lately, I had a bad dream. But, let's pretend it is just a regular dream. However, it seems like Mama needs to tell you this, especially about Feli. But, are you sure you can calm you down?" Mama said, continuing her conversation.
"Well, Fera will try not to panic and listen to Mama's story slowly, Ma."
"The point is, Feli's sick, Fera ..."
"Sick? What do you mean, Ma?" Fera asked, confused.
