Bridal Tears

Leo?

.

Several months have passed. Esme is increasingly lonely friends, Leo who is getting less and less contact with her, making Esme can no longer stand being in America. Esme revolted at her parents on the phone, becoming a rude talking figure. He just wanted to go back to Indonesia for a while.

But, his parents were in a row by banning him continuously.

"Dad, can you tell me how Leo is doing there? Lately, Leo has rarely told me," he asked on the phone, in a soft voice.

"Don't bother him, son. You see, he's trying to achieve success" his father said on the phone.

Esme scrunched her forehead. For some reason, the words 'don't disturb him' from his father's mouth sounded so heartbreaking.

Esme intended to close her call, feeling empty. Suddenly, his father spoke. Said that after Esme graduated college and became a high-scoring scholar, Leo's family would come to question her.

Suddenly, the news became a very pleasant thing for him.

"Eat him, you just focus on learning there. Don't think about Leo. Leo here is struggling to be on par with our family. Don't let us down" said his father, closing the call, just like that.

Teg!!

Is the one who spoke to me on this phone my father? Why is it that dad's talk becomes like that? (Inner, astonished with a little disappointment in his mind)

"Ah, stop. Maybe you're just worried about me" he murmured. "Leo will follow me, after I graduate? Then I have two more years left to study here ! I'll study well in America, then come home with achievements and marry Leo." Esme continued to mutter with a grinning face.

..

Time went by so fast, that these two passing years were not felt for Esme.

Today is the day Esme returns from America. He came home with a performance with a fairly high value. Not in vain, for two years he pursued the lessons by trying not to think of Leo.

By the time Esme arrived in Indonesia, she was already a stunningly mature woman.

He walked very gracefully, with the black glasses he was wearing.

His parents, brother and sister, welcomed Esme at the airport.

His family was amazed by Esme's increasingly charming appearance.

Really not in vain they take care and send it abroad.

"Dad! Mommy." Esme immediately hugged her parents, clutching them very tightly. Breaking the longing that froze for years.

"So you've been a real Caucasian since you lived in America for a long time" said Lolyta, Esmeralda's only sister. They're so close to each other.

Lolyta is a kind and gentle sister, she always respects her brothers.

"Didn't you miss me?" Balmond stretched out his two big hands. He was Esmeralda's older brother. He was very loving to his brothers. Although very fond of eating, but if his sister whines for a snack, he will immediately give it without clucking.

Esme hugged Balmond. "I miss so much the hundreds of snacks that you keep under the bed, so as not to be caught by father and mother. Haha...." Esme laughed cheerfully in her arms.

...

After giving up his longing, his father took over the things Esme had brought with her during her stay in America. He put it in the trunk of the car.

Esme and her family went home.

"Lolly, Esme! Are you hungry?" ask Mr. Harits, who's driving the car.

Mr. Harith is Esmeralda's father.

"Yes, I'm hungry!" answer Esme and Lolyta.

"Dad, always ignore me" decak Balmond, who was sitting in the back seat alone. Apparently, Balmond was so stuffy with his big body.

"If you are, there's no need to ask anymore. You're starving every second" Ms. Hilda said with a smile on her face.

Hilda was the mother of Esmeralda.

Then, Mr.Harits glanced left and right at the street, looking for a restaurant that was already open. Because the atmosphere is still morning.

After finding a restaurant that seems comfortable and the menu is very fitting in their tongue. Mr. Harits led his family into the restaurant.

While enlivening the arrival of Esme to Indonesia. Mr.Harits ordered the entire menu on that menu list.

Just contact it, it made Balmond's eyes sparkle. He occasionally tasted his lips, because it could not stand the temptation of the fragrant cuisine that pierced his nose.

"Dad, isn't it too much to order all the dishes here?" whispered Esme.

"If it doesn't run out, we can share it with beggars or anyone who needs this food" replied Mr. Harith.

And it is true, all the food presented on the table is not exhausted. Balmond, who loved to eat, waved his hand. His stomach was almost erupting.

Later, Esme and her family came home with all the food that was not finished.

On the way home, Esme, Lolyta and Balmond gave the food to some homeless people.

Mrs Hilda and Mrs Harith smiled in the car, seeing the good behavior of her three children who were reaching out to people in need.

..

Bi Inah and Pak Lampir opened the gate, warmly welcoming their arrival.

Bi Inah and Pak Lampir are husband and wife who work at Esme's house, they were already working when Esme was a child.

When Esme opened the car door. Bi Inah and Pak Lampir immediately swarmed him. They really miss him. They also asked Esme thousands of questions without any pause.

Mr.Harits and Mrs.Hilda immediately dismissed the questions, bringing Esme into the house.

Bi Inah and Pak Lampir were so enthusiastic, his face beaming as he followed his master's steps into the house.

Inside the house.

Esme looked at her. Look around his house. There was a little bit of a difference, maybe over the years leaving his house, there were additional items with different positions.

"Esme, take a break to your room!" mr. Harits said, sitting on the living room couch.

Esme immediately walked up the stairs, towards her beloved room.

Then he opened the door to his room.

His eyes stared in astonishment, after seeing the drastic change of his room. His room now, impressed so graceful he thought.

Then Esme opened the balcony door. He looked around, staring at some of the roofs of his neighbors.

Suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared. Esme immediately remembered Leo. For two years, he had not communicated with her. I don't know what happened to him.

Not thinking much, Esme immediately ran out of the room and left her house.

Hilda who had just come out of the kitchen, was shocked after a strong wind blew right on her face due to the speed Esme was running.

"Itsme ! Emeralda, where are you going?" he shouted, because Esme had already disappeared from his sight.

Esme walked quickly on the side of the road. Heading to Leo's house, which was not far from his house, only blocked three large houses.

"Leo!!... The leomord!" call him while shaking the gate key, for the gate is padlocked.

Usually, his mother was quick to say. (Inside Esme astonished)

Esme called her name again in front of her house. To make his next door neighbor out of the house, because he was disturbed.

"Oh, Miss Esme. Must be looking for Leo, huh?" ask the middle-aged woman.

"Yes, grandma. Does Grandma know where Leo is?" tanyanya, curious.

"About you call me grandma" The middle-aged woman snapped a broom she held onto Esme's ass. "Call me, auntie !" yells.

"W-uh! Yes, sorry aunt. Hehe...so does the aunt know where Leo is?" Esme was forced to ask the same question again.

"Are you not his friend? You don't know, Leo and his family have moved out of here for a long time" explains the middle-aged woman.

Huh huh?

"Moved? Move where, grandma? Uh! I mean, where'd I move auntie?" Esme's face panicked.

"I don't know where they're moving either. When asked, his parents did not want to answer," he said.

Esme's feeling became increasingly hollow, her breathing was extremely heavy. The water dam in his eyes, slowly appeared.

Then he asked all the neighbors there, and indeed no one knew where Leo moved.

So short of heart, so long to sustain longing by not meeting, then two years in campakan with no news from Leo.

When I returned from America to Indonesia,

and approached his house. Turns out Leo had moved, and he didn't tell Esme.

So, what does Esme mean in her life? And, where should Leo be?

So, what about the wedding?

Wouldn't Leo take her after graduation and return to Indonesia?

But, Esme was convinced, Leo could not possibly do this cruel thing to her. There must be something that requires it this way.

Esme tried to understand it, although the reality was uncertain. He only holds hope, hoping that his positive thoughts are true.
