Between Me, You And Them

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG

NANDA

I endlessly give thanks for today.

At least I managed not to make and add more sins. Elsi is devastated with her own.

When we both heard the same sound of our baby's heartbeat, and saw his tiny face.

I who from the beginning saw the black and white screen was incessantly shed tears. I became a dumbfounded man for the first time today.

I asked Elsi if she wanted to be taken home, I have to quickly get her out of here. Before he changed his mind again.

But when I saw her gaze at the stop, I thought she had completely changed. He was really aware.

Along the way, he just held my hand tight. I feel so happy.

Although this matter does not stop here, at least it can make me breathe a little relieved.

What business we will do in the future, let us think together.

I also did not force Elsi to discuss it, Making her mind calm first was the main one at this moment.

Elsi told the online taxi driver to drop us off at the park near her house. We agreed today not to go with the bike.

He doesn't want to be in front of his house. Because he's been allowed to sleep at a friend's house today, if not so and his mama saw me go with her would be a question and a suspicion for her mama.

"Udah don't have to take El home."

"Now, papa?"

I feel bad leaving him alone.

"No papa. It's near gini."

"Yes already. Wait for Elsi until El actually enters the house." My word.

The house and the park are not far away. Only 1 straight path. I can even see the fence of his house from where I stand now.

"El said yes bang..."

I waved my hand.

"Thank you El. It's changed its mind."

He just nodded and smiled at me. His first smile since this incident. Very sincere.

When I no longer see his back, I turn around to go away the park.

I was planning to book an ojek online after coming out of the Elsi complex only.

I still want to relax for a moment to breathe the air today.

My chest feels more relieved than before. I don't want to think about anything for today.

I just need to be grateful for what happened today.

"Mas, sorry I'm late." Said the online object I ordered when we were just walking.

"No papa sir. I'm not hunting."

I don't care if he's late or what he wants, the core today is my heart is good.

I enjoyed the wind that blew. It's really good to taste. I haven't been like this for a long time.

I want to get home and call Elsi right away. I can't wait to hear the news. We just separated.

When we just got to my house, my phone rang.

Like there's a telepathy between me and Elsi. I just thought about it. Wanna call her.

"Yes El? Brother just got home."

I lifted her up while having trouble taking my wallet ready to pay for the motorcycle.

"Fetch El bang. In front of the complex."

I'm appalled. Why did he arrive and ask me to pick him up again.

Did he miss me again?

"Where are we going El?"

"Pick it up." He hung up on her.

I was confused. Why else this?

After paying for the motorcycle, I rushed into the room and took the keys with my helmet.

"Where else?" Reprimand mom to me, after seeing I just came and ready to go again.

"Nanda there's a sudden business ma'am. Permission huh?" I extended my hand to her. Prepare to be converted.

"Don't girlfriend Nanda. Already want to graduate. Don't make such behavior. Don't embarrass the family."

I was silent when I heard my mother's advice. My heart suddenly turned uncomfortable. Tumben once mother said this.

"Yes mom... Nanda take a minute." I walked out the door.

"Remember, don't be like that." Mother ordered again.

I just nodded and died.

Why did you arrive like this?

As if I knew I had a big problem.

But I tried to ignore it because I wanted to focus on Elsi who arrived to ask me to pick her up. It was already early afternoon.

I drove my bike through the traffic jam. Hope to get to the place as soon as possible.

Turns out....

I was not allowed to calm down today.

One problem is solved, another problem arises.

His face was no longer broken. Her tears never stopped flowing.

"Elsi is expelled." She said in between her tears. I each pick.

"Mama knows everything...." He continued his sentence again.

"Let's go to mama." I said while pulling his hand. He let go of my hand.

"Don't!"

I looked at her.

"We're going from here. If you go there, you'll have bigger problems."

"This is big Elsi! You're being kicked out!"

I pulled his hand again.

"BRANCH!!!" He let go of his hand again.

"Watch me, right?! How hard am I?! So is mom!!! No one will be able to change his decision! Whoever it is!"

I messed up my hair. I'm so depressed...

"Why did you get caught El?" I asked her.

"Take Elsi out of here, El will clear everything." Tell her to me.

******

We sat in front of each other in a cafe in the middle of town.

Our drink was cold by itself because it was not touched at all.

I was silent as well as her.

We are the same as just bowing our heads with our own thoughts.

It felt like I just wanted to breathe a little relieved, but had to face another ordeal again.

"So....." Elsi broke the silence between us.

"So I got a message from Elmi after I got into the fence of the house bang. The contents of the message are just saying I don't go home mama's mad at you."

He let out a long sigh, and I was still waiting for his explanation.

"But it's too late. I have his position at home. And mom must have heard me open the fence. I went into the house, and saw in the middle room my suitcase was already there. Mom sat in front of the TV. As soon as he saw me enter, he stood up and threw all the tests into my face bang... I realized I left the evidence in my room. I forgot to put that in my bag. I used to take it where I was afraid if something like this happened. And sure enough, it was finally discovered..."

"Keep mama said what?"

"I didn't hear him say anything else, which went in my ears only he didn't want to see me again until any time... I have no energy to rebel, even crying I have no energy bang.... Then El can just call brother."

I approached my chair to her and held her hand. From that moment my brain did not stop thinking, what should I do after this, and will take it where after this.

I haven't even talked to Mom about this.

Her Elsi left the house, her meaning began this second I was in charge of her life, replacing her parents at home.

"Aren't we trying to go home again, El? Together with brother? Brother will tell mom brother will be responsible."

"Mom doesn't care that bang. Mama doesn't care if anyone is responsible. She was just disappointed why all this happened, while my mother gave her full trust in me bang. Mama is hard, very hard. Harder than me. He alone can drive away without forgiving his life partner, what else am I bang. If the decision has been unanimous, it will not be disturbed. Whatever it is."

"But Elsi is not possible to be kicked out really dong? I think it's the effect of mad mama."

"At eviction yes in the banished bang. Why is there a story back home. There's nothing. What else drives away is a mama."

"Keep what do we want now?" Ask me at the end.

"Do not know bang... Elsi's dead end, too."

"We went to Sharma's house or Purna first?"

"So. Don't wanna. Elsi doesn't want to involve the two of them."

"Here you go, what if tonight Elsi sleeps first in the inn. As we think about what else we'll do after this."

He just nodded with my advice. I asked her to finish her drink and leave from there.

After finding lodging for Elsi, I immediately went home.

Along the way, I convinced myself to be honest with my parents tonight. Let Elsi not be as derelict as she is now.

I went into the house feeling bad. It was like going to war. Who prepare to live and die .

What should I talk to them about?

What's the opening?

What was their reaction after hearing it? Same with Elsi's parents? Or do they forgive me?

I was stunned at the door, Mom was teaching in the living room. This is what he used to do when he finished praying Isya.

But somehow today, hearing her teach makes me want to shed tears. I want to immediately hug and prostrate at his feet. Crying and asking for protection from her over all my problems right now.

Before I actually did that, I immediately stepped my foot into the room. I threw my body on the bed.

I can't, I can't confess my sins to them...

But what should I do? I can't just sit around like this, and Elsi needs to get married.

Why also the mother had been unusually advising me. It's like being able to read if your child has a big problem.

Can they forgive me?

Can they accept the arrival of Elsi in their lives?

I don't know how long I've been in this room. Seeking my confidence to speak all of it to them.

Though on the road earlier my decision was very round, but it just collapsed when I saw my mother. I couldn't hurt her heart...

I took a deep breath, and rose from my sleep. I have to face her. Tonight. Not tomorrow not later. Must be tonight.
