"Are you completely sure you don't want me to stay here with you ? I hate leaving you when you are sick". I look at my beloved twin sister Lumi, who is all bundled up in bed with a cold.
She smiles at me. "Yeah, we just arrived in London… go see the city. You shouldn't sit here just because I'm sick. I'll be okay… I have tea, N*****x and something called hobnobs".
We arrived yesterday in London from Tampere in Finland to study at UCL on a government paid scholarship. Our father is in the military and has been for many years, so that is why we got this possibility.
"Okay then, but I'll take a lot of pictures and send them to you". I tell her, stepping into my shoes.
She smiles at me again. "I know you will".
We always wanted to see London. Well we want to see the world while Lumi still can. But so far we have only been on a few short trips to Norway and a single family holiday in Mallorca. My father simply didn't have the time and the money wasn't big either.
I grab my small backpack and swing it over my shoulder, before leaning down to kiss her forehead. "See you later siskoni".
"Have fun… behave". She gives me a small wave as I leave the apartment.
So what to do first ? I think to myself as I walk out into the unseasonal warm London weather. It is the end of September, but the sky is high and blue with only a mild breeze and a thin long sleeved t-shirt and a pair of yoga pants is enough to keep me warm.
I decide to take the train a little north and check out Hampton heath. I love being out in nature, walking and running and I want to see if it's worth the train ride to go there for my runs or if the streets around the apartment are enough.
Luckily the station is only a five minutes walk away from the apartment and I only have to change trains a single time as far as I can see. I should be able to handle that. To be honest I feel a little silly being all excited about buying the ticket and taking the escalator down into the depths of the city. But this is something I have dreamed of and seen in movies and on tv. I just wished my sister was here to share it with me.
I find the right train and board it, sitting down on a vacant seat. It is stifling hot and very loud, a cacophony of voices, scratching and rumbling sounds from the machine and the sound of whooshing air. It smells a bit dusty, like recycled air. These are the sounds and smells of authentic London.
After two stops I get up to change lines. Going even deeper underground. There is something sacred and a bit scary about it. Knowing how deep beneath the surface I am.
"Where are you going dearie ?" A little old bended woman is suddenly in front of me, holding out her hand. "Can you spare a penny for an old woman ?"
There is just a weird air about her, and I am not sure whether to feel curious or scared. One of her eyes is milky white. I pull out a five pound note, the only cash I have. "Here you go, that's all I got. I just arrived yesterday".
Instead of just taking the note she grabs my hand, running her soft wrinkled fingers over my palm. "Thank you dearie. You are on the right line, it will take you where you need to go … show you what you need to find".
"Uhm thanks". So it's the right train ? Well I already knew that. And what do I need to find ? Well the Heath. But good to know I won't get lost on the way.
"Do not try to ignore destiny… Accept what you are offered… It will keep being thrown in your path if you ignore your faith". She looks at me like I have a daily habit of ignoring faith and destiny. Not like those things often seem to cross my life.
I gently pull my hand away, as I hear the train emerging through the tunnel. "Thanks again, that's my train, gotta go".
"Accept destiny". She calls out, smiling a toothless smile and waving at me.
I shake my head slightly to myself, as I get on board the second train. She probably isn't all there the poor old thing. All this talk of destiny. My destiny is to get an education and to go see some more of the world.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't want love and a family of my own. Actually I love everything romantic. But I have just turned 24 and I have my life ahead of me. Also my experience so far is that a lot of men have a hard time handling how close me and my sister are. They either want me to see her less or even worse they think they ended in some kinky porn. Yeah I actually had a boyfriend who genuinely thought that banging my sister would not be cheating, because we were twins. All he got from Lumi was a black eye.
I get out at the station. The houses here are big and beautiful, built in red bricks. There is no doubt this is an expensive neighbourhood. I only have to look at the cars to know; Mercedes, BMW, Audi are parked along the curb.
Walking down the street I look around. It's not that I really feel a need to have this, but I mean, who wouldn't like a privileged life, not having to worry about money. Being able to provide everything you wish for your kids ?
I find the small path leading to a bridge over the rails, on the other side is the Heath and for some reason I feel joy bubbling inside me as I walk up the steps. I am happy that London has so many parks and so much nature. It would be hard not to have open spaces close.
Hari itu Adit terbangun di pagi hari, ia melihat ke arah jam dinding, pukul tujuh pagi, "sial, hari ini ikut papa ke kantor," batin Adit merasa kesal, mau tidak mau Adit harus mengikuti perintah Dimas jika masih ingin menikmati fasilitas milik Ayahnya itu, setidaknya sampai ia sukses di musik dan bisa menghasilkan uang sendiri. Adit merasa, sebentar lagi band Adam akan melejit mengalahkan band-band tenar lainnya, khayalannya sudah setinggi langit, ia bahkan sangat percaya diri akan berhasil. Adit segera bersiap untuk berangkat ke kantor, ia tidak ingin berlama lama disana, seribu alasan akan ia cari untuk segera pergi dari perusahaan Dimas. Setelah selesai mandi, telepon genggam Adit berbunyi, ia meraih benda pipih yang berada di dekatnya, dan melihat siapa yang menghubunginya, ternyata Dimas. "Halo," sapa Adit yang masih mengenakan handuknya. "Adit, sudah siap? Papa tunggu di kantor, ya," ucap Dimas memastikan anaknya datang. "Ok, Pa." Adit menutup t
Bel sekolah berbunyi, kegiatan belajar mengajar sudah usai. Seperti biasa, Adit dan Krisna mampir dulu ke studio band sekolah untuk bermain musik, mempunyai hobby yang sama membuat Krisna dan Adit cocok berteman."Sebentar lagi ada festival besar untuk tingkat pelajar antar sekolah, Dit. Mau ikutan gak?" Krisna terlihat antusias seraya memegang gitarnya."Ayo, siapa takut? Cari pemain yang lainnya gih, gue males nyariin," jawab Adit yang tingkat kepercayaan dirinya tinggi sekali saat berhubungan dengan musik."Gue suka gaya lo. Ok, gue cari, ya. Lo tinggal nyanyi aja pokoknya," ujar Krisna semangat.(Jreng jreng) Krisna memainkan intro lagu Nirvana yang berjudul Come As You Are, dengan fasih Adit langsung bersenandung menyanyikan lagu itu. "Come as you are, as you were. As I want you to be. As a friend, as a friend. As an old enemy," suara Adit begitu syahdu terdengar, sangat bagus, suara berat yang jantan membuat Ia terlihat memukau. Seketika perasaannya
Di halaman belakang rumah, Reina dan Widya menghindari konflik antara Dimas dan Adit. Sesungguhnya Widya ingin semua baik baik saja. Namun, ia sendiri tidak berdaya karena takut penyakit jantungnya kambuh. Sementara, Reina merasa iba kepada Adit, ternyata sifat keras sang Ayah masih sama seperti dulu. Melihat mantan kekasihnya yang menunduk malu, ia tidak tahan. Ingin rasanya memeluk lelaki itu untuk menenangkan diri bahwa ia tidak perlu merasa malu atau tidak enak hati. Hanya saja itu tidak mungkin dilakukannya. "Sekali lagi Tante minta maaf ya, Rei," ucap Widya tidak enak hati. "Gak apa-apa, Tan, kan aku juga dari dulu sering lihat pertengkaran mereka," jawab Reina seraya memegang tangan Widya. "Iya, kamu anak baik, selalu mengerti kondisi Adit." Widya tersenyum penuh rasa syukur bisa mengenal Reina. Sementara di ruang tamu, Adit dan Dimas masih saling membisu, Dimas terlihat sangat kesal dengan anak semata wayangnya itu dan Adit, masi
Adit mendatangi rumah orang tuanya, berharap mereka tidak ada di sana, sebenarnya ia merasa malas bertemu Dimas karena pasti mendesaknya untuk mengikuti keinginannya. Namun, di sisi lain, ia harus menyampaikan pesan bahwa Reina akan datang bertamu.Ia terdiam sejenak di depan pintu rumah. 'semoga papa gak ada' batin Adit. Ia membuka pintu dan melangkah masuk, melihat ke arah ruang tamu yang sepi, hatinya mulai tenang karena sepertinya hanya ada mbak Sum disana."Loh, kok kamu datang gak kasih kabar, Nak?" Widya menuruni tangga dan terkejut melihat putranya telah berada di ruang keluarga."Ya, Ma. Hm, Reina mau ke sini," jawab Adit sambil melirik-lirik ke sekitar ruangan mencari Dimas."Reina? Aduh ... sudah lama sekali mama gak dengar kabar anak itu, jam berapa Reina mau datang?" Widya terlihat antusias sambil menepuk bahu Adit."Sore kayaknya, Ma." Adit melangkah ke halaman belakang dan duduk di bangku kayu, tempat biasa ia dan W
