AL And EL

Fourth Wonder



"What do you know

Besides loving me?"

⏳⏳⏳

The part Al doesn't understand is why men like El always avoid him, plus don't want to hang out with Arnol. Time and time again finding out what Al didn't find, no one knew El. Even from school, he doesn't know. All Al knew was a handsome-faced El, that's all.

The guitar bag swings swinging, treading the road trotar while enjoying the afternoon atmosphere. The wind blew against his face, cold mixed with heat. Looking to the left, looking for something cold that can drive away thirst.

Al blinked his eyes, trying to get to know the middle high-postured man allowed the shoelaces. Sit crouching, justify the shoelaces and stand back up. It felt like something had changed from the man, something that changed his body to look more handsome. Black switer that's the answer

"El El"

Al is chasing. Walk the sidewalk faster than ever before. Gitat in the back makes it difficult, swinging down almost makes Al limbung grow.

"Allen"

Al tried to catch up, unfortunately El's steps are much wider than him. He entered a small alley, dark for the afternoon. Leaving a high shadow that grew higher when El's body turned. Al is still chasing. Hold your breath and throw away as quickly as possible, taking a breath to strengthen your steps.

Up at the small alley, El is not there, even the straight alley looks seedy and lonely. There's no one here, just him.

"El, are you there?" al's voice was half screaming.

He turned around, stepping to leave from the narrow alley.

"Ngapain elo here?" the sound came from behind.

With hesitation, Al turned his head, he could only breathe a sigh of relief when he knew the man before him was El. The man put his hand in his pocket, looking at Al without a smile

"Hi"

Al smiled, a row of neat teeth he looked, pupyeyes were more dazzling when he smiled present on Al's face.

"Ngapain elo here?" reset El

"Al chased El earlier"

Al's face was still smiling, there was nothing to be afraid of when he saw El's handsome face before him.

Not answering, El went towards the big road. Stepping wider so as not to be followed by Al from behind.

He was wrong, the girl just passed after him, unfortunately as much as Al's effort was taught, El was lost in the crowd of people who crossed the zebra cros. Losing his breath, Al lowered his head, taking as many breaths as possible.

Staring at El's departure like that left him a little disappointed. Swallowed both saliva and stared at the back of El who was increasingly away.

"No papa, we've made El's progress, we've done a lot of it"

Al still pulls the corners of the lips, not the hood. He straightened his body. Walk to cafe Welno. That man must have been waiting for him.

The scorching Matahati began to lose lighting, dim in the middle of the cloudy. After putting down the guitar and sipping water, Al confirmed the hairdo. Change school clothes with regular clothes. Checking the strings of the guitar, checking the microphones and starting to justify the chair to the gig

"Om, where's Ibrahim?" shout Al.

Welno came out from behind the office door. Removing the glasses and staring at Al who was busy checking the strings of the guitar.

"He's a permit, his cat's sick"

Welno stepped closer, asked for a juice and drank it.

"What if a sick cat can't play?"

Actually there is Ibrahim or not Al appearance will still amaze, just the absence of the man, Al felt a little less, like the addition of bass in his performance.

"Don't know. At most he's lazy to come here"

Welno picked up the tray, went to the empty seat, wiped it and picked up the trash. Welno works not alone, there is Ayunda and Dito. This cafe is not too big, but enough to hang the life of the Welno family.

Al's income here is not too much, because of his hobby and love of music that led him to survive a gig at the cafe. As long as Jovan doesn't ban, he thinks the gig won't be a problem.

Visitors began to focus on Al, staring at the beautiful girl more thoroughly.

Al played the guitar, began to close his eyes, staring at the shadow of El who immediately crossed his mind.

🎵🎵So I heard you found somebody else

And at first I thought it was a lie

I look all my things that make sounds

The rest I can do without

I don't want your body

But I hate to think about you with somebody else

Our love has gone cold

You're intertwining your soul with someone else🎵🎵

It felt like the song was so attached to Al, given the magic of the encounter between him and El. Is she loving El too soon? Did he expect El too much?

🎵🎵I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone

And then leaving with somebody else

No, I don't want your body

But I'm picturing your body with somebody else

Come on baby

This ain't the last time that I'll see your face

Come on baby

You said you'd find someone to take my place

I just don't believe that you have got it in you 'cause

We are just gonna keep 'doin' it' and everytime

I start to believe in anything you're saying

I'm reminded that I should be getting over it

🎵🎵

The song he finally opened his eyes, staring at the cafe visitor who gave him a clap. Al looked down, went off the stage and sat backstage.

"What's wrong?"

Welno handed him a glass of juice, looking at Al's sad face for the first time.

"I don't usually see you moody"

Al rubbed his face, remembering how El's attitude made him lose his singing taste

"Om you know that guy Al Dektin keeps running away from? " al's voice returned to normal, although his face still conveyed sadness

"Oh El"

"Yes, El. He's a new student in Al's class"

"Continue?"

"Al seems to like the same El, but El Cuek really same Al. Cook this yes, when Al ngajak acquaintance El , eh he even went that way, not polite is it?"

Al seeks a defense to tell her that El was wrong, not her fault that drove El away.

Welno nods, either understanding El or understanding that Al is trying to find strength for his support.

"Haha"

Welno laughed out loud. Making Al who was drinking choke.

"Om Welno why laugh?"

Al's face was sour.

"Now, ngetawain the El. Surely he's surprised to meet a girl who's not you"

Welno stood up, leaving behind Al who was still pouting.
