AL And EL
The Miracle of Forty-Three
It is better that the past be placed into the past need not walk and obstruct the way of the future
⏳⏳⏳
"Al sat here" the call made Alriestella turn her head, she smiled broadly let alone the one waving sitting at the corner of the table close to the wall of the canteen was Ivana.
"El" Al hit El's arm so that made the cold-faced man turn his head
"Sit there yuk, there's Ivana" Al headed towards the table in the corner.
El's sharp eyes looked at Kharisma who was also there, his legs were reluctant but somehow El's body felt weak when Al pulled to get there. El can only resign especially once he sits in front of his stepbrother who stirred a bowl of meatballs without interest.
"Sen" Kharisma raised an eyebrow while interspersed with his second laugh, like Kharisma's call just to mock El.
"El this" Al came while carrying a bowl of meatballs and El just stared at him
"Bucin really elo, minus less testing" commented Sena
Al was just a whimper without replying to the sentence from Sena, while Kharisma, meatballs in his bowl just stirred until drunk.
"Al Lo's at the camping event?" Ivana asked him on the side of her mouth to chew some fried rice.
"Follow dong, because the event is once a year, if Al does not come, unfortunately no one will sing after the bonfire" replied Al along the train tracks.
Sena and Kharisma laughed. Ivana shook her head to hear Al's long words, the woman who now ate the meatball smiled when she heard the reaction of her friend who was laughing at her.
"Lo how El came along, pity the Al if Lo did not come ntar no object bucin his elo" said Ivana
El looked up, unintentionally his eyes and the eyes of Kharisma looked up, there was a meaning of the unsheathed view of Kharisma as he hated El who always troubled his family. Of course the camping cost is very expensive from where El got it if not from Glori.
"Sir" replied El again eating meatballs
"Yes I'm not surprised again the same answer elo, because elo antisocial" said Ivana sharp.
Al was about to reply but from under the table El immediately grasped Al's hand as if from his grasp it he said "it's okay". Al weakly stared at the circle of El's eyes that had disagreed before. And can only breathe with resignation because it is unable to defend his girlfriend.
⏳⏳⏳
Al stood on the stage staring at the faces of one by one cafe visitors. She plays herself, Ibrahim does not come again for the gig he said his pet cat gave birth
While taking a breath Al started tapping the micropone and crashing the guitar. The song that occurred to me at this time was just the song "my favorite", a soundtrak song from the Indonesian soap opera, a song owned by Al Ghazali.
🎶🎶🎶🎶
Hear the love
my heart is broken
If there is no you, accompany me
Listen to love, I call your name
Every night I think of you
I'm lonely deserted lonely if there's no you
I die dead dead dead if you leave
🎶🎶🎶
The lyrics always represent his feelings of affection for El, how to imagine when El's face approached him in the boxing locker room, when the burly hand that was always rude finally stroked Al's palm gently.
🎶🎶🎶
Listen to my beloved, don't leave me
Hear my beloved live my death for you
Please keep me
🎶🎶🎶
Yes, Alriestella, the hard work to melt the ice pole has been fruitful, although often El is still acting as he likes. In the Akhri song that Al sings it feels like El is here watching himself from the table where they first met.
The applause was so boisterous that the visitors cheered. As Al put down his guitar, he took a breath and smiled. Al had not left yet but there was someone who approached with a bouquet of flowers, that person who was now smiling at him.
"Happy failed Al" said Kharisma holding out a bouquet of roses at Al.
Women with mini dres, just staring at Kharisma without being able to move. Is this their anniversary first?.
"The seal, cepet dong received flowers" said Kharisma made Al take flowers
The visitors who were originally presented with the appearance of Al suddenly like seeing a romantic show in the film, they clapped and berscie cie, an Indonesian culture that should not fade.
Al walks with Kharisma towards the table prepared by Kharisma, the man with a neat shirt pulled a chair to let Al sit, Al feels awkward, of course the man in front of him is his former lover.
"Kharisma, do you know that Al is here?" Tanya Al covered her awkwardness
"Gue asked Ivana earlier" Kharisma smiled "Lo didn't forget the date we were born?"
Al was silent, did not forget, instead Al had forgotten all the memories in his memory and now all have been replaced and filled by El.
"That's already part of Ma's past, so Al already do not want, Al people forget about it, yesterday Al had forgotten what had not eaten, but Al had eaten" Al ended with a grin
"No papa, after all during the courtship with me Lo never happy right?"
Be happy? The first time when Al was sitting in the second grade of Junior High, Al liked the man in front of him, especially when he was shot in front of a crowd of people with a bouquet of flowers and a large teddy bear. Al will not forget the romantic moment for him, but what about the last betrayal Kharisma did?
"Al" call Kharisma
"Eh yes" Al mengarajat "Sorry that flasback snapped" said Al
"Flasback about what?" Kharisma lures Al with a chat that can resurrect the memory that El has begun to occupy in Al's heart.
"He he didn't" Al just stared at the red flower in his hand.
The last time Kharisma gave this was Valentine in the second semester, when Kharisma Smilingly gave it along with ice cream, Al who did not know what was happy, Al who did not know what was happy, moreover, Kharisma is the first person to teach what it is to fall in love.
"Ma. Al wants to go home first, because the night is afraid to be sought by papa" said Al buruh standing up
"Gue anterin ya" bargained Kharisma also prepared to stand
"No, Al can walk alone"
"Al is already malem, not good for girls like walking alone"
Charisma is still as warm as they were when they were dating first, look at the man who is now ready to deliver.
Al nodded resignedly, he walked up to take the gig payment on Welno without responding to any questions from her again.
With a backpack containing his schoolbook and uniform, Al walks towards Kharisma and sits in the passenger seat, during Kharisma's journey as if deliberately discussing the past, his sweet behavior. Kharisma forgot that there was a part that she had scratched the wound in Al's heart, but that part was not told by Kharisma, as if the man had forgotten to make Al cry for three days in a row.
Up in front of Al's house, the black sedan stopped, Al took off his seat, then smiled at Kharisma.
"Thank you Kharisma" said Al prepared to open the door but his hand was held by Al.
The man wearing a neat shirt looked at Al with a sweet look and rubbed Al's hair. A warm kiss landed on Al's forehead which made Alriestella gawk.
"Good night my princess, have a nice dream" kharsima said romantically.
