Angel Shadow

Part 7's

The next night Mas Sonny kept his promise to see me. He came to my house before the Azan Isiah reverberated. I only realized that even though his skin was darker than Bima, but Mas Sonny was taller and had a sweet smile. It's just that his reserved and cool character makes that smile rarely seen on his face.

I gawked at the door in amazement at the creature of God that I saw before my eyes. Until the voice of the father broke the silence,

“Mbok yes told to enter sonny sonny's son, make this drink kok you let stand upright in front of the door so anyway, son.”

“Haha yes well.”

“Case mas , sit down gih. I make a drink first. Want hot or cold huh?”

“Any deck, must be drunk kok.”

I hurried to the kitchen and made a drink for Sonny. Didn't forget I brought my food setoples with my mother this afternoon. While stirring the drink I thought why now Mas Sonny so looks more than Bima the lizard's playboy stamp. Hadeh, I pulled my own seat because I had been stirring the drink too late.

I went back to the living room and put drinks and jars on the table. After I handed Mas Sonny a sip of the warm tea I served.

“So much tea, deck. Sweet fit does not eneg.” praise.

I blushed in shame and was a little proud of slipping on my chest.

“Puri is indeed a master of kitchen affairs sonny, but do not be told to clean up the house because it will certainly not be finished, hahahaha.” my father's ignorant chirps sound.

Huh, shame but that's the truth. I really like to spend my time in the kitchen experimenting with weird recipes on the internet than I have to arrange the layout of the home furnishings. Even the business of making tea I have my own dose which the result is very liked by my family.

“Iya mas, just scared too because I was worried can I later adapt there. Although it's the city of Mother's origin but I don't really understand the customs there.”

“Mas mah sure you can quickly adapt, deck. You are not a snob who is hard to get along with. Only you still have to be vigilant and do not easily trust later with people you just know there.”

I calmed down when I heard his support and advice. Moreover, Mas Sonny always conveyed with incredible calm. Honestly, I admire him more. Come on, did I start loving her. Hush hush, far away this thought, my mind.

“Lantas what do you want to tell me? Mas said yesterday there was something important.”

“Ah yes, I did not forget. Look, I know maybe it's too soon or it's just in time. But for mas this must be told to you so that there is no more wedge in the heart of the mas. Long time ago I weighed and I came to the decision that I should be honest with you. I have a special feeling for you, deck. I promise I will always take care of you, never hurt you. Although in the future we will be far away because you have to study in a different city, but Mas want you to know mas will wait until you graduate later and mas will come to pick you up. You can keep this promise, dek.”

I was silent and surprised. Rarely do I see or hear Mas Sonny speak at such length. Honestly, I'm not one hundred percent sure of how I feel. Indeed I love him but put him as a lover I have not thought that far. But, I mustn't waste an angel this sincere. Who else can accept me with all my shortcomings. Bima just left me because I was not as beautiful and stylish as the woman I saw with her at that time.

“Mas, I don't know how to answer. I think we go anywhere this destiny will take us huh. I only asked for one thing, I knew that I was a lot of male friends so I asked to let me stay close to them. I don't like being banned or asked to stay away from them.”

“Mas promise deck, you can still be yourself. Masih understands

you are closer to a boy than a girl. What I want you to know is that there are people waiting for you. During your lecture please focus to be finished quickly, perform as usual and mas will prepare for our future. Mas want when you pick you up later, Mas is ready everything because Mas does not want you to live miserable. I want you to be happy forever with Mas.”

My tears are flowing. Not because I was sad, but because I was too happy to know there was someone who really appreciated me. I promise I will learn to love him.
