AL And EL
The Miracle of the Fifty
Now the tent is tomorrow I make a house
⏳⏳⏳
El's hand fell down weakly. Receiving a call from Al made him immediately want to go home to Jakarta, but that was impossible. El is still here staring at his mother's old headstone not visited. El continued to sprinkle the flower and then with sharp eyes it turned into glass.
"Ma, have you met God?" El asked with a smile and wiped away the lightning-fast tears
"Happy birthday ma" said El putting a bouquet of flowers into his mother's grave.
El then stood up and returned to the shabby rented that is currently occupied by others. Staring at him from the front alone reminded him of the memory he had forgotten these few months. It was replaced with a new memory with Alriestella.
If Eviana was still here, maybe Eviana would scream loudly to ask El to learn. El closed his eyes, trying to recall the moment, the moment when he was still with Eviana, his mother.
At that time the afternoon air blew so fresh, little El just playing in front of a seedy contract, playing marbles alone and laughing himself.
"Look at him play by himself" the laughter from the direction of the road made little El bowed to the grain of marbles in front of him.
"He has no friends" said another child
"Who would want him, he didn't have a father hahaha" and the laughter was like a curse to El to this day.
For El, laughing is only for someone who is having fun laughing at the sadness of others. El hated who had the most carefree laugh back then, for him to see someone smiling was as good as laughing at him.
Eviana, coming with a crumpled flower dres, he then pulled El to his face and gave a plot to the bad boy on the street.
"El have a father, stop talking like that or I'll report you to the police"
Maybe thanks to Eviana's threats the boy ran away 'but came again tomorrow to give a mockery to El. Eviana is the only woman who gives strength from the rubbing of her hand on El's cheek.
Said with complete confidence that there would be someone I would be friends with El regardless of that status.
El's eyes opened as bitter memories flashed towards him, yes at least at that time El could still be happy despite not knowing his father's name and the appearance of his father. But ever since Eviana lay in the hospital, the arrival of a man in a cold suit and face was devastating to El's world.
The man who made El suffer for years now shows his face and claims to be a father.
Even El still remembered how Glori's face that was clapping her hands seemed to act like a father to her. No, even today Glori is just a stranger nothing more.
⏳⏳⏳
On the bus Al just fell silent, thinking about the words said Arnol who crossed slapped him, Arnol who was sitting in front of the middle of snoring smooth, while Ivana was busy playing mobile phone. The trip that should feel fun actually makes Al want to return home.
"Al, Lo kok diem anyway from earlier, it's been transmitted in his El ya diem" said Ivana who had saved her phone.
"He he didn't know Ivana, anyways Ivana from earlier was busy playing mobile phones" elak Al.
"Lo why? Think what? The feeling of the naek bus until now there is no spirit of his spirit"
Al shook his head "no papa" he said looking back towards the front
"Al sing dong let our bus rame" his shout from the front made Al a little peek who asked to sing, it turns out Febri with a guitar choked on his shoulder.
"What do you want to sing?"
"It's up to Elo deh Al, we'll do it" Febri quickly walked over to Al and gave Al the guitar.
⏳⏳⏳
Arriving in Jogja they are greeted with a view of Sanglen beach that is so perfect, small waves that are crashing, sand that softens the feet.
Ivana, who was next to Arnol, grabbed him by the head, and grabbed him by the ear
"Welcomee Wellcome Lo if you want to sing ziga zigi not here" said Ivana berated Arnol
"Zaga zigi, the real zigi zaga" Arnol's correction
"Ah bodo" Ivana then went to the beach, enjoying the waves that touched her bare feet.
"Ivana beware, ntar brought nyi Roro kidul" shouted Arnol origin
Ivana turned and glared at Arnol sharply and chased after Arnol who was standing, both of them were chasing, Ivana threw her shoes until they hit Arnol's head, another friend laughed at the behavior of the two but not with Al, the one pigtailed woman actually lost interest in camping.
"Kok daydreaming? Don't you get up the tent?" The voice from next to him made Al look up. Kharisma stood side-by-side and stared at the beach
Al did not answer but after Ivana came with Arnol, the short-haired woman immediately invited Al to make a tent.
"Al make a tent first yes Ma" said Al without wanting to speak stale first.
At the teacher's designated location, Al and Ivana were building a tent. Two women who had never held this tent were clearly in trouble, let alone several times complaints always came out of Al's tiny lips.
"Ah Al want to nginep in aja hotel if gini, difficult to make a home" complained Al then sat on the ground.
"Lo thought it could be that instant, already Al buruan tar hunt we do not get a bed"
The camping location is a little far from the beach, not too far away as well, the location is across the road to the beach. Large area with flat land. Intentionally the school made it here, in the middle of a thick forest with green scenery that can be enjoyed every morning, plus a location adjacent to the beach.
Kharisma came with a hammer
"Do you want me to help you?" Tawar Kharisma
Al then nodded in follow by Ivana, crazy if they were both told to build a tent can be ascertained if until camping is finished the tent will not be able to stand.
"Help me" cried Kharisma calling Sena.
Al and Ivana were only spectators when Kharisma and Sena woke up the tent for the two of them, after Kharisma clapped her hands to remove the remaining dirt in her hands.
"Udah so, now the tent first tomorrow I build a house for elo" he said spontaneously
Hearing that Al's body felt creepy. Ivana and Sena then berhuuuu together
"Code tuh Al" Ivana nudged Al's arm made the petite woman turn her head
"What code is Ivana, morse code?" Al pura did not understand
"Grandfather doesn't understand anymore" Ivana scratched her head "That Kharisma means now in the tent tomorrow she makes the house as husband elo" Ivana emphasized Kharisma's sentence
"Udah Woy, do not eloquently I am so embarrassed" said Kharisma folded lip line
I don't know even though tempted and seduced like that Al does not feel happy just feel uncomfortable.
"Where Al, already fit Lho, dirusin tuh" Sena tease
"Udah code Al, he wants to do elo" Ivana added.
Al just keep quiet without saying their sentences, lazy to serve the two who really like to match Al and Kharisma, even though Al's love is only for El.
