CRICKET SHARP AS SHARP AS LOVE

Feeling Heavy

“But ...” Leoni wanted to refute Glen's words because considering him as the new president, his work in Manado was also delayed so much that he could not linger in Kupang Together

Leoni.

“But what? You don't want me here? Or do you feel free to be alone here?” cut Glen.

“Not so Glen!” leonie said softly. “I just remember the words papa and mama, your job there is waiting for you, you have to take responsibility with many people. The President as long as it is not in place? You have to cultivate the company and all the foundations whose fate is in your hands.” Obviously Leoni.

“There are still many people who can be trusted to cultivate the company, besides it is impossible papa let the company just like that.” Glen lazy to know.

“Yah already, it's up to you.” Leoni was lazy and did not want to refute Glen's words anymore because he knew for sure whatever he said would not be able to change Glen's decision. “Where is my room?

I want a break.” Leoni circulated a glance towards the second floor which seemed to have several rooms there.

“Cute me!” Glen pulled Leoni's arm leading her up the stairs to the second floor.

Leoni resignedly followed Glen's steps.

“This is our room, let's go in!” Glen orders when the door of one of the rooms has been opened by him.

Leoni looked confused to digest Glen's words, she was silent for a moment like a confused person.

“Why shut up? He said he'd take a break? Come log in!” Glen slightly pushed Leoni into the room he was referring to.

Leoni regained her senses when the two of them had already entered into the same room and Glen closed the door.

“Hah?” Leoni was still a bit absentminded.

“Why?” ask Glen. “You don't want to be in this room? Let's move to the canal next door.” Glen didn't understand what Leoni meant by that.

“Heeemmmm. Me...” Leoni was a little stammered, confused as to what to say.

“Let's clean your body first, that's the bathroom. After that rest. Later tonight we're out for dinner.” Obviously Glen.

“Yes already, I take a shower first. You wait in your room!” Leoni pushed Glen out but arrived at the door of Glen's room spread out her arms so as not to be pushed back by Leoni.

“Ny, why are you here?” Glen who turned around became confused.

“Then I take a shower and you wait for me here anyway? Not very polite.” Answer Leoni jutek.

“So you kicked me out? This is our room Leoni.” Press Glen.

“Our room what do you mean? We're not married yet, want to sleep in a room? Naw.. No.” It was Leoni who made Glen sober.

“True also said Leoni. Heeemmmmm Glen said in his heart.

“Iya. yes sorry!” whispering as she stepped out of the room, Leoni immediately closed her room and headed to the bathroom.

After finishing the bath and feeling well rested, Leoni came out of her room and looked for Glen's whereabouts inside the sizable villa. Leoni searched all the rooms on the second floor but did not find Glen, she decided to go down to the base room as well.

“Where is he?” leoni asked as he continued to search for Glen's whereabouts, he finally reached the back of the villa, found Glen sitting by the pool while flipping his feet playing water, and then he found Glen sitting by the pool, it looked like I was daydreaming about what was on his mind. “What's wrong?” Leoni took a sitting position next to Glen and joined the water play with her legs.

“Ny, sorry well. That's when I didn't mean anything. I just thought that we'd get married, so it wouldn't matter if we slept in the same room. I also had no idea to do anything at

outside limit.” Glen said sadly.

“Iya I know.” Leoni cuek as if that's not what makes it a problem. “But we better sleep separately well?!” Leoni glanced at Glen as if asking for his approval of the statement revealed.

Without saying anything else Glen immediately jumped into the pool, suddenly he pulled Leoni's legs and finally joined in the swimming pool.

“I'm so reminded of a small time incident first.” Glen jumped out of the pool and sat down next to the pool, followed by Leoni.

“What events?” Leoni followed what Glen did.

“Time you can't swim yet and are still afraid of water.” Obviously Glen then the two of them laughed simultaneously. “But now you are more good at swimming even have become a coach.” Glen said again.

“You can aja.” Leoni shy.

2 Hours passed they both spent by the pool while reminiscing about their past more time that made Leoni sad, but the consequences of the past that makes Leoni become a swimming athlete extraordinary achievement.

“All that's my fault.” Glen regretted everything that happened in their past.

“It wasn't your fault, but it's already our destiny.” Leoni said casually.

“Yes, behind it all, it can be said you have become a successful person, can get out of a great trauma even otherwise, become a great person behind that trauma.” Obviously Glen. “But...” Glen was cut off like he was thinking. While Leoni glared at Glen as if asking for a continuation of his words. “But, behind your success it is. I'm the one who got hurt, I'm tormented waiting for you for 4 years, I'm the one who got sick when I saw a lot of guys who approached you, I can't catch up with you because of my responsibility towards papa and company, I'm holding this feeling in a dug dag, I don't know if you're keeping a heart for me, or if you have the same feelings for me. Indeed it is all my fault, if I had not been a prank, if I had taken good care of you, if I had expressed my feelings to you in the past, maybe you ..” Glen's regret was too much.

“It's been dong darling, it's all the past that has got us now at this point. I never blamed you for any of this. Even I am grateful because all this past can lead me to be a brave person and not sink into that trauma and fear again.” Bright Leoni. “And because the past is what makes us both finally together.” Leoni said shyly.

“Yes, that past made you succeed and also got us together. But your success honestly scares me. Now just have to be far away from you, the distance Manado – Kupang is easy for me to reach can anytime I can come to visit you, but Ny it's a long distance Ny, it takes hours. And I can't always be around you, you're here working in your own company but in this area there's not one of our families, all of you who work near you are my employees but… ahhhh already.” Glen was frustrated thinking.

“Do not think a no-no.” Leoni held Glen's arm with a sigh to calm him down while assuring him that nothing would happen to him.

“We did not have a clear relationship like this before, but it was far from you that has succeeded in making me very tortured. Now that you're my future wife, but it's getting me tormented, I'm getting scared and don't want to be far from you, miss, don't torture me anymore! Please please! Let me be here with you.” Glen pulled Leoni's head against his shoulder and then had her hands curled around Leoni's slim, athletic waist.

“I also don't want to be away from you.” Leoni hugged Glen's free hand. “If you want to stay here with me, I also do not forbid and will not expel you. This place is also yours.” Leoni said spontaneously. “But what about papa? How about the company?” Leoni turned to face Glen and looked into Glen's eyes with a sharp look full of meaning.

After their long and meaningful conversation and the outpouring of their hearts, dinner time finally arrived, Glen canceled the plan to eat out, he chose to order food online through his bodyguards who were then delivered at their villa. They enjoyed a poolside dinner and kept talking.

One night they passed by telling stories sharing their joys and sorrows, sharing stories about the past that each of them had gone through.

The next day Leoni began working on her duties as a swimming teacher and at the same time became a swimming coach for athletes at Gonzaga Kupang High School for the preparation of sport tourism. While Glen carries out his duties as president and conducts advertising for all fields of the company and the foundation of his family-owned school in the city.

“Mba Leoni want to go home?” Wiliam approached Leoni who was doing a fingerprint absence in the personnel room.

“Eh Mr. William. Yes, I'm teaching late, so I want to go home.” Answer leoni briefly.

“Ehem, don't call mr. dong, just William. Is it still the same age?!” Wiliam shyly pointed towards himself and Leoni.

“Ah yes too. But it's not polite well, anyways we're in the office, so shouldn't call by name alone.” Said Leoni ketus and firmly.

“Yes too anyway. Whatever!” said Wiliam again.

“I said goodbye first yah!” Leoni pointed towards the exit.

“Mba Leoni no longer stay in school mess?” Ask William pleasantries.

“Sorry, it's none of your business.” Leoni replied rather awkwardly.

“Oh yes sorry, did not mean anything mba. Please!” William pointed towards the exit.

It turned out that at the door Glen was watching the conversation between William and Leoni which was full of pleasantries.

“How dare he approach leoni, but already know that Leoni is my future wife.” Glen said in his heart.

“Happy day Mr.” William reprimanded Glen then directly passed from before Glen and Leoni.

“Whatever by the way with all the people?” Glen began to interrogate Leoni.

“There is no meaningful discussion, just a sweep just kok.” Answer Leoni briefly.

“Ya already.. let's go home!” Take Glen.

*

Day six is in Kupang.

Cring…. Cring. kringg. (hp Glen beeping).

“Halo..” Glen presses green color image on hp layer.

“When do you go home Glen?” Ask people from behind the phone.

“And I told you, I will wait for Leoni here while working here.” Glen answered the question of the person behind the phone.

“Papa really need you here Glen.” Answer me from behind the phone. “Mama's sick, she's constantly sad thinking about you there. Don't you pity?” ask papa again.

“Mama what pain pa? how does it hurt suddenly?” Glen asked back.

“Papa confused what to do. In the office desperately need papa, mama also at home do not want papa stay.” Papa was clear without answering the question Glen was asking.

“Paaa..” Glen was about to speak but was cut off because Leoni was holding his hand as if asking what had happened.

“Mama hurts from constantly thinking about you two there. Your time to think about your marriage is up today but there is no certainty and news from you yet. While there you two live together without any marriage bond. Mama felt heavy thinking it was Glen. Mama is ashamed if people know.” Obviously papa.

“Glen will be married to Leoni in three months pa.” Said Glen lightly.

“Too long.” Papa said briefly.

Papa immediately hung up the phone because he knew that it would not make Glen waver with his stance.

“Why?” Asked Leoni who was temporarily chewing on banana chips while enjoying the FTV spectacle on Glen's villa's living room TV screen.

“The point is papa asked me to come home and we got married.” Answer Glen briefly. “Hopefully this can make Leoni want to come with me home.” Glen said in his heart.

“That's what I said. Papa must have asked you to go home, pity also papa in staying take care of the central company alone. Indeed many people who help there, but it will not be the same as your presence dear.” Said Leoni.

“Then you permit a week, we go home for marriage. Want?” ask Glen. “So I can ...” Glen could not continue his words.

“You have doubts about me? Are you afraid I'm a macem here? You're not sure about me? You don't believe that I'll be loyal here?? Is that what makes you not want to go home??” Leoni rained down on so many questions that the obvious answer was impossible for Glen to answer blatantly.

“I do not believe in myself, I do not believe I can get through my days in Manado without you.” Glen bowed his face and was sad.

“Glen, next three months, finish sport tourism later, we get married. That's a short time, won't feel.” Leoni clasped Glen's hand with a little dug-dag. “During that time you run the tasks you carry now and while preparing everything for the preparation of our event later. The important thing is you have to trust me.” Leoni convinced Glen. “Papa's love.” Leoni said briefly.

“I feel heavy dear.” Glen lunglai said that. “But I will try.” Added again.

“Today is the last day you give us to think, right? And the answer is three months ahead, just choose the right date.” Leoni said casually.

“Alright, I'll try. But regardless of what activity we do should always tell and should take the time to make a video call.” Glen felt it was hard to leave Leoni on people's land despite working in his own company.
