The Letter

It's been a long time since Selena propped up her chin, serving her thoughts on the couch. The breeze of the sea gently greets her kind face. Selena's fingers wiped the tangle of wild hair playing on the edge of the forehead.

From time to time the soft blue curtains on the windowsill flap violently, pushed by the strong wind. Selena is happy with this peaceful atmosphere. Her mind was calm looking at the blue sea and small boats bobbing on the surface of the water.

Perhaps one of the boats bobbing in the water was her father's boat. Selena is less certain.

At this point, Selena felt that this small house was so empty. Quiet.

Despite the resounding voices of Seelan Paul and Khai from the AST radio station, it has not yet been able to serve the silence of Selena's heart.

Times like these, her little brothers Noah and Risky seem to be bathing in sweat. They cycled to go home. For sure when they arrive, they will be lying on the floor of the house. Even school bags are everywhere. What an habit!

She remember her old school days. The dumbest childhood... always cheerful. It feels like just yesterday, Selena left the school.

Actually, it's been almost three years. Her own age has almost reached 22 years. If she married, there may be four or five children. Selena smiled to herself. Uh... married? With whom? 'Must be with Prince Charming.' Selena giggled.

'Elellelellalala...don't think I didn't know who your Prince Charming is,' replied Nini, also laughing. 'Oh... Zeq, right?'

From long ago, Nini was quite fond of playing Selena with her cousin, Zeqri. He was said to be the most handsome boy in their school at that time. However, there is nothing between Selena and Zeqri. As far as common friends only.

'Isyyy... you! You are endlessly trying to promote your cousin. Isn't there anyone else? Oooii... my dear little friend... remember not your cousin is the only one who sells here,' sneered Selena.

Selena tried to cover the vibration in her heart. When the name Zeqri is mentioned, her heart blossomed, grew more beautiful. But she have to be smart to cover her heart.

Little ones can play love. Mom will be noisy. Pot-pet 24 hours. Nini laughed at Selena's words. The dimple on Selena's right cheek stood out.

'It's true Ena, I think Zeq really has a heart for you. I know my cousin very well.'

And old memories begin to lull beautifully. come along with the breeze. Every once in a while she entertain feelings, inviting her little heart to cry. Sorrow and happiness alternate.

Hello... if my mother were still around right now, of course her mouth would be full and she would definitely nag at me. Give words of advice and all kinds of tips. Ahh... mom! Her heart was ticking.

'You've grown up a long time. Take care of yourself. Don't be the mouthpiece of people. We live in a society. It's a little wrong... start paying attention to people," Mrs. Sofia's advised.

She was quite worried when she heard the story of her daughter is close friends with Zeqri, The son of the city chief.

'Take good care of your friends,' she said again. Mrs. Sofia does not want her name linked and cursed. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Tan like to criticize. Later it will be said that Mrs. Sofia wants to hold the son of the city chief. Want to be a family. While the difference between her family and the city chief is quite far. She was aware of it all. If the mouth of the jar can be closed. This is the city's mouth, it must be difficult to close.

'Oh... mother... don't you listen to other people'. Selena hugged her mother's arm warmly.

'Ena doesn't have anything to do with Zeq, mom. He's just a friend. After all, he's Ena's senior at school. And yes... he's Nini's cousin. Please mom, don't think too much okay. I want to focus on studies first.'

Three years have passed. But the memory seems like it happened just yesterday. Still remember Nini's laughter teasing her so fiercely. Zeqri's soul-shaking smile. A wise mother's advice. Now it's all over.

After completing the SAT, Nini decided to work in Los Angeles. Now, she become a famous model. If not, how is it possible that her face often adorns the chest of advertisements. Zeqri is in the final semester of the Civil Engineering Department at University of California Los Angeles.

Selena missed her mother so much, Mrs. Sofia breathed her last in Selena's lap three years ago. At that time, Noah and Risky were still young and she herself was not ready to take on the responsibilities of the family. But she had to. It felt like a very heavy burden on her shoulder. For the sake of her siblings, Selena is willing to sacrifice.

'Oiitt... sister, you're daydreaming! What are you cooking today? I'm hungry, sister,' said Noah.

Noah had just arrived, he pushed the bike and placed it under a coconut tree. Noah is still grinning. 'Hah... you must remember Zeqri right?'

Selena's face blushed. 'Hey... don't say his name!' My heart began to dance with love. Be patient... control! Her little heart screamed. She glanced at Noah, who collapsed from exhaustion. Selena is not interested in serving her younger brother. The more he was treated, the more fiercely he teased. That's it. Selena kept quiet.

'Eleh... Sis... just admit it. Don't think I don't know! It's a shame.' Noah grinned again. The school uniform he was wearing continued to be taken off. Ridiculous and hot!

'Arrgghh... Sister you doesn't rock at all... I don't want to give you the letter,' Noah threatened.

'A letter?' Selena's eyes are round. 'Where? Where? Give me.'

'Cis... you just wanted to respond as long as I mention the letter... it's very nice of you. Here take it!' He threw away the letter he had taken from the mail box when he came home from school earlier. Quickly he ran, entered his room to take a good bath.

If not he is her brother, Selena really want her hand to rest on his face. Give a great slap on his face would be the best.

Selena smiled. She stared at the letter in her hand. She already knows who send the lettter. And Selena's smile widened.
