Between Me, You And Them

DESTINY ALREADY

ELISE

I woke up with a very sick head. Because I sayup I hear the sound of my bedroom door being knocked. Along with the sound of my HP. I saw the screen, bang Nanda called me.

I was only in this room last night. As soon as I arrived and bang Nanda came home, I fell asleep and just woke up at this time. I was very tired and needed to replenish my energy with a long sleep.

I am the type of person if I feel very stressed, I will fall asleep a lot. And not feeling hungry at all. Last night I did not wake up because of hunger.

I walked towards the door.

Why did he come so early?

I opened the door. I saw him come in plain clothes and carry 2 large backpacks. Not in school uniforms.

I was silent at the door, he just walked in past me who was astonished.

"Don't you?"

He doesn't mind me. He put all the stuff on the bed and sat down next to her.

"Bang?!" Reprove me again. I really need an explanation for everything I see.

He raised his face that had been bowed.

"Why this?!" I asked again. While pointing at his goods. He just answered me with a nod. Makes me even more clueless.

Impatiently, I immediately approached her and knelt in front of her. I shook his shoulder and asked him what had happened. Why is he like a man who has left home.

But it turns out to be true...

"Ang ran away from El's house..." Said lirih. He tried to hold back his tears.

I retreated and sat down limply with my feet resting before him.

"Why can?" I asked in disbelief.

"I'm sorry Brother El...." He covered his face with both palms.

"Abang! Why?!" I took off his palm.

"Any cowardly man El..."

"What do you mean, bang?!"

"Abang could not bear El, admitted in front of Dad's mother with what had happened. Brother is not able... Can't see they're hurt..."

"So you ran away from home without them knowing?"

He's nodding.

"Where were their brothers going?"

"They both went to the market... Brother just left a letter to those who brother wrote overnight... Forgive brother Elsi... You can't take Elsi to your parents yet...." Finally she cried.

My tears are also automatically shed. I hugged her and we cried at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Brother Elsi... Cowardly brother, brother is not a good man..." She said in the middle of her sobbing.

I let go of my embrace and held both cheeks with my hands. I wiped her tears with my fingertips. I stared at him inside.

"All you have to do is apologize, El bang... Because Elsi, brother so lost brother's family..."

I continued my sentence,

"Just promise, Elsi will bring us all back to normal. We will return to our families. Especially Brother..." I said while leaning my forehead against his forehead. We are still the same crying.

"I'm sorry Elsi bang... Thank you brother for always being the same Elsi until now."

"Until any time you will always be the same Elsi...."

He answered me and hugged me tightly.

"Love you bang..." I said at the end. My first love for her. All this time I have kept in my heart.

"I'll go wherever you take me..."

******

Bang Nanda released his sim card with a new one. No one knows the new number now but me.

It turned out that the artist was him to run away from his life. I tried to tell her to come back home, but she didn't hear me.

He said this happened already. In the letter, he explained what had happened to his parents. He told me from beginning to end. And he's a lot of sorry to have to go this way, and will come back again if the time is right. For now he has not been able to face it.

He also told his parents not to look for him for a while, and he promised he would definitely return. Whatever risk he'll take, he'll come back. With me. Bring me, and his son later.

I see her condition now, different from her yesterday. It still looks fresh and vibrant. He looked lethargic now, and his gaze was often blank.

I get it, this happened because he just lost his family. Her life.

I just realized, too, the two of us. We are both the same shrewdness of our former lives. And we have to be just as sincere to take it off.

He also seems to have made plans for the future. He'll take me away from here. To a place no one would know if we were there. Somewhere far from here.

He even said he had bought a plane ticket for us. Our flight's tomorrow morning.

Therefore, today he invites me to finish what we have to finish as long as we are here.

He said I had to go to Purna and Sharma. At first I refused, but he said do not make regrets because he went without saying goodbye to them. People closest to me. We don't know when we'll be back, meet again.

I'll tell them, but I don't want them to know if I'm going far. I don't want to and can't. This appearance is also felt by Bang Nanda when at home.

We agreed not to tell anyone where we were going. We are really going to open a new page for us.

Why did he take me away as fast as he could? because he doesn't want the end, we can't let go of the people we love.

All I can do is follow through with all his plans. I've given my whole life to her. I believe in her. Very trusting.

That night we went out to the inn to take me to Sharma and Purna.

First he drove me to the Purna house. And I told him to go and pick me up when I was done. He also said he would finish all his business tonight. So we split up at Purna's.

"Will you heal?" Purna said welcoming me at the door. Indeed, I admitted today I did not go to school because I did not feel well. He had no idea I was kicked out of the house.

"Call Sharma here dong." Take me.

"It's so fitting that."

"Bag why?"

"Well, I want to meet both of you."

I tried to shut down my sadness because I knew I was going to leave them, and I didn't know when else to see each other.

Last night we just chatted like nothing happened between us. I just want to enjoy our time together which will soon be gone.

It's hard to feel like this, but I can't really talk to them, because if they know I'm leaving, they won't let it. I already know his nature.

Brother is done El. How's elsi? If you still want there papa, brother wait El aja just returned to pinginapan.

Bang Nanda sent a WA message to me.

Honestly, I still want to be here with them. But it's in late at night.

I saw also Sharma had a sign of wanting to go home because of sleepy. They promised to meet again after school.

I'm just "yes yes. Because I know, this can't happen, I won't see them again after this.

I wonder what their response will be after I won't appear in front of her again.

Surely they both will be excited to look for me to come to mama. And mom will tell you all about it.

After having Bang Nanda pick me up, I said goodbye to Sharma. Because he's ready to go home.

I came to her who was ready to put on her jacket.

I hugged her tightly. Real tight. Until he seemed to understand something was wrong with this.

I tried as much as I could to put on a normal face, and held back all my tears that wanted to spill.

He took off my very tight hug. And asked with a confused face.

"Why El? Want me to die, right? He was so hard."

I just smiled while holding her face. I'm gonna miss this crazy guy. This man who took. I will no longer hear his babbling. And hear his scolding if I act stupid and careless.

He shook my hand again.

"Why the hell lo?" It seems he's starting to realize. I immediately acted normally.

"No, can't I hug?"

"Yes can... Not usually rich. Rich don't see you tomorrow."

"I didn't see you all day." I spoiled with her while embracing her.

Purna came out the door of his house approaching us.

"Elo go home I'm taking El?"

"No. No need, Bang Nanda picked me up."

"I swear?" He asked in disbelief. I nodded confidently.

"Yes really..."

"So when are you gonna talk to Mama El?" Sharma asked me.

"Fast you. My doain huh?"

I hugged her again. For the last time.

"Gue with Empur will support whatever your decision is with Nanda. Whatever your difficulties, we'll help."

I felt something wet at the end of my eyes. I can't take it anymore. I immediately deleted it. I didn't want them to realize I was crying.

"Udah elo back there. It was night!" I pushed her out the fence. I can't do it, don't let him linger here for long making me cry like he is.

"Tomorrow yak! We're coffee in the usual place. Tayaaaang tayaaang kuuuuu."

Sharma left, and I both died with Purna. I kept staring at her until her back disappeared from my sight.

I shed my tears again.

Aware Purna was still beside me, I deleted her immediately.

I don't know why we were just as excited to see Sharma go.

The one who will be separated soon is just me. But somehow Purna also fell silent to see me speechless.

I took a deep breath.

Purna turned her body to go back inside the house, but I stopped her.

She was surprised I suddenly held her hand.

I pulled her hand and hugged her tightly, just like I did with Sharma earlier.

I'm sure he'll be in a moment. He must be amazed why I'm like this.

But I was wrong. He even returned my embrace. Hugged me tightly too.

Without speaking anything. Without asking me why. Doing nothing but just hugging me.

We hugged him for a long time until he opened his voice.

"If you want to cry, cry as much."

I just fell silent. And buried my face in his chest. I can't take it anymore.

I was crying so it was her. She kept hugging me and gently rubbed my head.

"Gue here El... I and Sharma are going nowhere. I'll always be next to you..."

Indeed indeed... You will continue to be with me, but this time I am the one who disappeared. I'll be the one to go.

I still keep crying. I can't say a word. All I thought about was that I was devastated to have to part with them.

Lord... Please don't let it pass tonight...
