Lunch in a large room. Alya sat beside Afkar, opposite them sat Pak Wijaya and Aprill. A variety of lunch menus are on the table. Afkar filled Pak Wijaya's plate with rice portions were not much, took a piece of tuna fish cooked stew and placed next to his plate. A cup of water and a bottle of sweet soy sauce. While Aprill is offered mushy white rice because it is still sick.
A large plate of sweet-sour squid was cooked by chef Afkar in the kitchen after returning Aprill from the hospital. Afkar who is used to cooking in the kitchen does not hesitate to prepare Alya's favorite menu once Alya agrees to lunch at Pak Wijaya's house. Alya who only helped slice the onions was already in tears, and the next stage would be completed well by a more professional hand. Alya glanced at Afkar who moved some sweet sour squid into Alya's plate, remembering Afkar's words that made them noisier again in the kitchen which was then fully controlled by the two of them.
" Alya, slice her up and don't cross that way, but like this"
" Dear, don't just split in two, sliced into small pieces"
" Ngiris chilli remove the seeds, baby want the chili seeds all into the stomach? wake up tomorrow morning growing chili from the head"
" Alya saw it, want to help continue to be wrong"
Alya.
" Terriment, Alya cook fried rice also sliced it like this"
" It means wrong all this time"
" But it's good"
" Good doesn't mean true, baby".
And so the cooking show is only done from Afkar's hands, not a duet because it is certain the results will be chaotic.
Aprill glanced at his favorite sweet sour squid menu
" Ka, Aprill wants a squid"
" No, Aprill is still sick, after all this was my sister who was in a lot of chili because ka Alya likes spicy"
Aprill pouted, made that attached granny? this is my favorite menu, you evil Afkar.
Alya slightly glanced at Aprill.
She's pouting? you are sick again, eat the same porridge slices of chicken and eggs, this part of the squid let my rations, let me, just this time I want to feel the results of my lover's cooking which is claimed to be the most delicious cuisine in the world.
" Afkar, are you going out this afternoon?"
Afkar looked at Alya as if asking for an answer, Alya flanged, meaning he did not understand why Afkar looked at him.
" No sir, why?"
" I want to rest, wake up before Ashar"
Afkar nodded.
" Good pa"
Mr. Wijaya stood up
" I'm sorry, Alya, I'm going upstairs, keep eating"
" Yes sir, thank you"
The dining table left only the three of them.
" April want to go? brother get?"
Aprill.
" Dear to go?"
" It's full already".
" Aprill is done, go upstairs first"
Aprill finished his meal and intended to stand up
" Aprill, Alya wants to talk"
Alya was shocked, what the hell about Afkar?
" Dear, Aprill's here, you guys can talk, I'll stay a while, I'll call mom first"
Afkar smiled, while Alya's hand pinched Afkar's leg from under the table, Afkar immediately brushed him aside even now that he was standing, slightly whispering to Alya
" Dear, I'm sitting in the front, if there's an incident just sound the siren, hehehe".
Alya looked down, two of them. Isn't the initial agreement not like this, will we present Darel first, ka Afkar broke the promise, my own time is like this facing Aprill. The woman in front of him lowered her head while playing her spoon on an already empty plate.
" Aprill, can we talk?"
Aprill nodded and now looked at Alya.
" April, I wanted a story before. I'm the second of three children, my brother and my sister, your age, she's also beautiful and smart like you, she's currently in college and taking law school"
Aprill listened to Alya's story
" Since I graduated High School I have not been home with my parents, although it is still one city in Yogyakarta, but the distance is 160 km, and it requires me to stay at the boarding house. The first semester I knew a simple guy, I introduced my roommate, he just broke up with his girlfriend, his name is Afkar"
Alya sighed. Why am I so heavy when I start telling you about us.
" We met him at his boarding house one afternoon in Yogyakarta, he was a gentle, shady-eyed and well-mannered man. Even at the beginning of the meeting I called it weak, I don't need to tell you why. Not long after we met again accidentally in one mall when I was walking with my friends. He's an Office Boy"
Office boy's? ka Afkar is an OB?
Aprill tried to listen more intently to the story. This little granny told me about my foster brother Afkar or some other Afkar?
" I saw him coming home from work, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, jeans and a hat. He walked slowly in front of the restaurant where we ate. I called him, and finally he joined us. That night the four of us were sitting in the park, he invited me to talk to each other on a park bench under the full moon. There I felt a great thump, something I had never felt in my life, I was trembling, you know what it was like? I thought the angel of death would take my life. I can't even say, my lips are locked. I was drowning in his eyes, I felt like I was on the edge of a cliff, my heart started beating dozens of times per second, the sound was loud as if it sounded out and could be heard for miles. My hand trembled violently, if I were to hold a single piece of cotton, it would have slipped away due to the weak strength of my hand at that time, even the ground I was treading was like it was pulling my feet to get into invisible pores. His smile shut down the function of the organs inside my body.
I didn't know what it was, he then turned me back to my friends, we split up afterwards. The next morning he came to bring me breakfast chicken porridge, it looks simple huh? but that's my cure, the cure of all my confusion all night, what really happened to me? turns out I'm in love. I fell in love with a tall, czech guy with a pointed nose, and he was Afkar, an OB who was fighting alone in the city"
Alya grabbed the glass filled with water in front of her. I'm going to continue this story? can I go back to talking with my lips? I should be able to.
Over the course of six months we became closer and often together. One night he came and said he was going to Surabaya because he was accepted to work in one company, he left without saying he liked let alone loved me, while I had given first love for him, an unspoken feeling from both of us. I was sick, not knowing if I was loved or not. Two years we were in such a state, I was stuck without knowing whether to wait or leave. Then I was betrothed to my parents' relatives, he was kind, well mannered and was trusted to hold one of his papa companies at a very young age, 24. I'm the one who seems hopeless trying to accept a new person, his name is Ka Kevin.
The person I was waiting for came tomorrow morning, and expressed his feelings in one pine garden. I accepted it because this is what I've been waiting for for two years. I thought it was going well, I was wrong, Kevin was serious about this matchmaking and I was caught up in the story of three triangles. I chose my lover for my love, but I couldn't get out of a situation I hadn't expected before, my relationship with Kevin was too deep in mixing the hands of our parents. Finally my beloved had to back off, until she was finally here, with you"
Aprill bowed his head, right he's my brother Afkar
" You know Aprill? without true love I crumbled and fell down myself, however around corroborating, it still could not. I was crushed to the point, still waiting with the same love when I fell in love for the first time. I parted ways with Kevin without finding my true love"
" Over the last two years we haven't communicated through anything, it was I who asked him to leave, but don't lose it. And because of one misunderstanding, we finally did not know the news of each. Only a letter he wrote in a coffee shop belonging to my friend told me that he was still alive and still with the same love. Destiny brought and brought us together here, in her own way"
Aprill raised his head
" Aprill understood and could feel it, now Aprill was going to tell the story"
Alya nodded.
" Ka Afkar never told me about a woman named Alya. He came to this house one night by himself. He loved and cared for Aprill. Can you feel how to be noticed and loved for 24 hours?. Any little thing from Aprill is fulfilled"
Alya felt her chest tight.
" Ka Afkar came with the pampering and loving treatment of Aprill. How can Aprill believe Alya's story".
Alya plays her fingers.
" You now want how Aprill?"
" Aprill did not want to lose the protective figure. Ka Alya was just coming, not knowing what Aprill had been feeling for this year and a half with her. Ka Afkar never said love, but he did that to Aprill. Now, this is what Alya said for two years ka Alya waited for him without clarity, why ka Alya waiting for him when ka Afkar already in Surabaya?"
" Because she calls me every day and we tell her stories"
" Contact and tell me that Alya is willing to wait that long? then Aprill who was always treated sweet and pampered every day for a year and a half how? can you feel the pain of April ka?"
Aprill spoke loudly and loudly, making Afkar come and sit next to him.
Afkar was silent, actually since this conversation was heard from the family room, but saw Alya in a desperate position he had to come, and unfortunately the arranged word was lost to see the cry of Aprill.
" Why silence? don't you think Afkar would usually caress Aprill's hair and wipe these tears, then hug Aprill and say everything would be fine making sure that Afkar was next to Aprill and wouldn't leave"
Afkar stared coldly at Aprill.
" Hear brother, all the treatment is because brother considers Aprill the sister that you have to protect"
" Why is it as much and as sweet as you? every day Aprill's eyes were treated with kindness and sister charm, Aprill's ears were infused prayers for good all day long, what I thought Aprill was a doll that couldn't decipher it, that it doesn't mean anything?"
Alya who had been silent then spoke
" Aprill, why do you wish more on Afkar and you have a lover yourself?"
Deeg, the ultimate weapon. Ka Afkar is too slow.
Aprill stared intently at Alya with eyes that were still wet.
" What do you mean Alya?"
" Why did Darel hang you? if you really want your relationship to be more ka Afkar, why don't you end your relationship with Darel?"
" Don't interfere in my business"
" Everything related to ka Afkar will be my business now"
Alya's chest is hard-hitting, I have a little boy rival but he wants big, patient Alya,,,,, I want to,,,
Afkar looked at Alya and gave him the code to be more polite. But this time Alya has returned to be Alya six years ago. I was facing a little boy who had forgotten his chivalry, who was blinded by his love, I could not be weak.
" Aprill has no relationship with him because of ka Afkar"
Afkar furrowed his brows
" Why me?"
" Afkar always watches Aprill everywhere and through anyone's eyes, how can our relationship be like that of other lovers naturally?"
" Aprill, you never talked about this to brother, how do I know that I'm separating two people who love each other"
Aprill was silent
" Aprill, don't make excuses, you can't actually let go of Darel because you're still waiting for Afkar to declare his love, right?"
" Alyaa"
Afkar looked at Alya who was already too bold
" Ka Afkar, what Aprill felt Alya had already felt"
Aprill bowed
" Aprill, Darel is kind, young, handsome, well mannered, and will take care of you better than he is now"
Afkar glanced at Alya, always insulting me at any moment, you call me old again.
" Don't set me up, just set up Alya's life after this without Afkar's ka"
Hhuuuuppp, sweat dripping on Alya's face, this room is ac, but since talking to the young girl in front of him this makes him very sultry.
There was a sound of steps down the stairs, Afkar immediately turned his head, sir Wijaya. Why he woke up, the wall clock just the long needle has not touched in the number three, ashar is still long.
" April, you're too noisy, papah can't rest"
A dining chair beside Aprill was now his seat.
" I'm sorry sir, we're talking too loudly"
" Not you Afkar, but Aprill"
Alya bowed, my voice was also raised, what is the cause of Mr. Wijaya disturbed so he had to come down like this.
" April, papah has heard everything, everything Alya told was true, this is not a fiction story or a joke. Afkar never told this on papah"
" Well, right or not this is no longer influential, it's up to Aprill not to care. Aprill just wanted to ask Afkar why he did this kind of thing to Aprill, doing good to foster sister doesn't have to be that sweet, right?"
Mr. Wijaya nodded
" Right you say Aprill, papah bears witness to Afkar's kindness and sincerity all this time to us, but why do you consider it more? didn't Afkar never promise you anything?"
" Paah, that's,,"
Aprill noble sobbed again
" So what do you think Aprill?"
Silent,,,
" Ka Afkar must never leave Aprill let alone marry the woman who once abandoned and betrayed him"
Uuuuuhhh, Alya's legs are shaking. Me??? it's so presumptuous of him to call me that. What right do you have to talk about that here?
" Ka Alya has hurt ka Afkar, then asks ka Afkar to leave. Where is it wrong for Afkar if even before Alya ka found him now that Afkar was with someone, be it Aprill or not?. Ka Alya do not expect to return with ka Afkar, is not the appropriate partner for the person who has betrayed is a traitor as well? not a loyal person?"
Alya looked at Afkar, talking to him. I would love to say a lot, but in front of me is Wijaya sir, the only person I still respect at this moment. Afkar also looked at Alya but with confusion.
" Aprill, I came here to work, I can't believe that when I step foot in the office on Monday morning it will meet again with ka Afkar, all this is fate. But if I had come just to hurt someone else let alone that person being you, I would have retreated"
" Alyaa"
Afkar stood up and approached Alya
" What are you talking about? haven't we talked about this? I'm still gonna marry you"
" Yes, that was before Alya knew what happened before Alya came"
" Sir, we'll excuse you for a moment"
Afkar asked permission from Mr. Wijaya, his nod was accompanied by Alya's hand which pulled Afkar's plan to the living room.
" What are you talking about?"
" Ka, Aprill's story is enough to make Alya think, this is not the fault of Afkar, right he said Alya who came to know and took what should be his"
" I don't want to"
" Alya had gotten used to this, it wouldn't be so heavy anymore, but for Aprill who had never faced anything heavy, this would definitely hurt him a lot ka"
" You don't want to fight with me anymore?"
" Sister who doesn't want to fight, why shut up? why is it that only Alya maintains this relationship? why is it like Alya who behaves and makes decisions?"
" I don't want to add to the burden, dear Wijaya"
" Yes, that's right. Because it is Alya who must know himself and retreat, Alya's presence only damages your harmonious family and harmony"
Afkar invites Alya to sit down and tries to calm her down.
" Want a drink, baby? gimme it"
" No need, Alya just say goodbye ka, kasian pak Wijaya"
" Where's the pump?"
" Alya wants to go back to Yogya"
