Among The Three Likes

Ellene Moreau

Vino laid his body on the bed, his eyes hard to shut, his memories with Ellene Moreau back across his head. He first met Ellene when he was in elementary school. Ellene had just come from France with her family, their house next door. Papa Ellene works for the French embassy, while her mother is Indonesian. Ellen was seven years old at the time, four years apart.

Ellene who was not fluent in Indonesian at that time was only friends with Vino who was already in the fourth grade of elementary school. Ellene is very soft and spoiled. As an only child Vino was happy to have a girl friend.

"Rev, Merci de vouloir entre mon ami" Ellene said as she adapted. 1)

"Pas besoin de remercier. J'adore amie avec toi, Ellene "2)

"Tu es un homme bon, Rev. "3)

Their closeness lasted until Vino second grade Junior High. Ellene returned to France. They have to go back to separate.

"A plus tard, Rev. Tu vas me manquer. Je t'aime "4)

The last words Ellene said when she split up. Vino must part with his best friend and first love, perhaps more precisely his monkey love. Back then they were just a pair of innocent and sincere little children. Sharing joy and sorrow together. For years they have only been in touch through letters and social media.

Vino meets Ellen again when Vino breaks up with Nesya. Their old love reunites, but for a short time. Ellene decided to get married at a young age. For Vino it does not matter if he and Ellene split, the problem is that the man who married Ellene is Emilio Mahawira, his Papi.

"Je suis desole, Rev. C'est tout pour les affairs de mon grand. Je ne peux fitting le refuser "5), said Ellene

"Peu importe Ellene. J'etais assez malade pour accepter ce fit "6)

"Rev, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry", Ellene sobbed.

Actually, at that time, Vino was eager to hug Ellene, but at that time Ellene was already the wife of her Papi, Vino's stepmother.

"If that man wasn't Papi, I'd fight to take you back. But maybe it's our destiny Ellene. Our destiny to be together"

"Rev.", Ellene called Vino.

But Alviano passed and left quickly from before him. And never come back. Ellene and Emilio return to France. Vino chose to remain in his city.

When his heart is uncertain, Vino meets Kia. And finally he established the heart to choose Kia as his last port of heart.

That afternoon Vino woke up with a shabby face, last night was a tough night. His mind and heart were not in his body. At three o'clock in the morning he closed his eyes. He tried to get out of bed and immediately cleaned himself up.

Half an hour later she came out of the bathroom with a towel on her waist and wiped her hair with a small towel. He sits on the bed. His eyes glanced at his cell phone lying on the bed.

Five missed calls and ten messages were on his phone. He ignored other messages and calls. Two messages and two missed calls from Zazkia became the center of his attention.

"Sister Vino, am I bothering you?"

"If you're free, please call me back"

Tuout.... Tuout...

Click ...

"Hello .. Kia"

"Hello... Brother Vino"

"Sorry I just called you. I just woke up. I was very busy with my college work last night. How you doing?"

"Good, Brother. Brother Vino take care of health there. Don't push yourself too much"

"Yes, you calm down. What did you call me?"

"There's nothing, brother. It's just ... "

"You miss me?"

Zazkia. He smiled at the end of his phone. Slowly he answered.

"Yes..."

"I'm Missing too, Kia. So missed. But I have bound you to my prayer. Patience, we'll meet again"

"I hope it won't be long, brother"

"You're studying hard. Brother Vino wants you to be successful with your future. Believe me I'll come get you. I'll keep my promise to you, Kia"
