All About El (Tarnished Sanctity)

49. I'm sorry ...

El pushed his suitcase back into his room. After that, he put the backpack on top of his suitcase.

He looked at the empty room and seemed to think.

"I'd better ask the neighbors where there's a furniture store around here" he murmured.

Not knowing what to do, El came back to the door and opened it.

Cih... why also ni bang ojol still nongol here? Not just go away, even cool chat. But ... is he really bang ojol? It seems inconclusive. Where's the bule cake again.

"Woi ... Why are you still there? Instead of going, even fun chatan. Wonderful," he reprimanded and rolled his eyes lazily.

"What's wrong, hmm? Can't you?" Bang ojol asked and then chuckled.

El was silent and sat down next to him.

"It's okay" he replied casually.

Bang Ojol looked back at him from the bottom up.

"Oh yes, introduce my name Abichandra. You can call me Candra," she said, extending a hand.

El just looked at the man's hand and just kept quiet.

Because El did not welcome his hand, Candra pulled back her hand and then reviewed the smile.

"You're the new kid here?" Candra asked.

El just nodded while shaking his legs.

Candra who was still curious about the figure of the girl asked again,

"Your name is really geeky, huh? Is that really your name from birth?"

El just nodded. Even though he lied.

"It suits me. But our names match, you're Candra and I'm Culun" El replied and laughed.

He can laugh too, right?

"Oh yes, can you please take me not to the furniture store. I want to buy home appliances. Honestly, I've only been in this city for a week" he said, still shaking his legs.

"Can kok. Don't you hesitate."

"Then, wait a minute. I took my backpack first," asked El to move and enter the house.

I don't know why there was such a feeling of pity in Candra's heart as she stared at the girl. Either because El who looks geeky with thick glasses or indeed because of real pity. I don't know.

Shortly after, the girl came out and took her. After making sure El was wearing a helmet, Candra drove her motorbike to a nearby furniture store.

After arriving at the furniture store, El got off the motorbike and entered the store.

"Bang, I'm staying a while, yes," El asked and gave Candra the helmet she had taken off.

Candra just nodded then commented a smile. He got off his bike and followed the girl into the store.

Before choosing the item he wanted to buy, El first looked around. After getting an item that is suitable for him, he took it.

He just bought a relaxing folding mattress, a head pillow, then some potluck kitchen utensils. Not to forget he bought a folding desk to make it easier later to do college assignments.

Candra felt a little astonished because El bought the study folding table.

After feeling everything was complete with what he needed, El put all his groceries at the store cashier.

"Ko, can the goods be delivered to my house?" El asked in a friendly manner.

"Maybe, just give me the address of the house," replied Koko.

"Ko, I don't bring cash. Can I do the transaction using an ATM card?" ask El.

"Yes, I can."

"Thank you, yes Koko," said El then wrote down his address and gave to Koko the store owner, all of them giving his ATM card.

"Yes, you're welcome."

After making a payment transaction, El said goodbye and then approached Candra who was leaning in the closet.

"Udah?" ask Candra.

El just nodded and took her home. But when he stepped up, he was shocked

With great difficulty he swallowed his saliva and looked nervous.

Oh God ... Why did Tara put me on the missing persons list? What if I get caught? God, help me please.

"Waah .. beautiful girl, but by the way why did she disappear? It's been a week now, surely his family is very worried" said Candra as she stared at the television screen.

El rubbed his neck. "Culun, what's wrong with you? You look so nervous?"

"Hmm .. It's okay. Bang, let's just get out of here, let's get a drink first," he said, then pulled Candra's arm.

"Curtain, what the hell!" candra protests because she's still curious.

El just shut up and grabbed the helmet on Candra's bike and immediately put it on his head.

Inevitably Candra was forced to obey the girl's will and wear her helmet. After El got on the bike then he started to drive the bike.

"Don't you know what a good place in town is? I mean a place to calm the mind" asked El.

"Why?"

"Take me there, I want to calm my mind for a moment" he said.

El Don't crying please.

El continued to dissolve with his own thoughts and seemed to be daydreaming along the way. Until he doesn't realize they've reached the place where Candra took him.

"Culun, we've arrived" said Candra, then patted her on the thigh.

"Hm." El looked ahead and smiled.

He got off the bike and took off his helmet.

"Thanks, I really like this kind of place," he sizzled and walked over to one of the gazebos.

Candra furrowed her brows. "You mean, you like the sea?"

"Hm."

After that, El took off his backpack and took his cigarette and match. El took a cigarette, burned it and took a deep sip and offered it to Candra.

Candra just looked at him and was a little surprised then wondered in her heart.

Culun, and her appearance is geeky but .. It seems like she is a mysterious girl. I'm getting curious about this girl. Behind her thick glasses and her face filled with brown spots, it seemed like it was fake.

Candra muttered inwardly and still looked at El who was sipping her cigarette leisurely.

"Culun, are you an active smoker?" ask Candra.

"Yes, this has been my habit for a long time and it's hard for me to leave" he said as he continued to look at the sea.

A moment's silence ...

While El, he continued to sip his cigarette to completion.

After throwing away his cigarette butts, he still stared at the sea and invited Candra to speak.

"Bang, thank you. Even though I look ugly and geeky, you still want to accompany me. You are handsome, Bang. If you notice it looks like you're a crossbreed," guess El.

Candra just commented a smile and rubbed her nape.

"I'm not sure if you're a bang ojol. It could be, the profession as a bang ojol just for entertainment or identity diversion," guess El again and then turn to Candra.

Candra just kept quiet and looked at him.

"You mean I'm right, don't you?"

Again Candra silenced a thousand languages but at the same time allowed the geeky girl's guess.

The place was silent again, only the sound of the waves and the sound of some people who were around the beach.

Behind his thick glasses, El closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Tara, I'm sorry.

Recalling the figure of the good man, his tears again dripped at the end of his eyes.
