Echoes In My Heart
Selfish But Good
On the way Alana muttered to herself, “Why I always meet with Echoes, not in the pharmacy, at the office, and earlier in the bakery was still met. Bandung is broad, why in every place always meet with him. Where there is an all pudding contest event, you can not do not follow my favorite I”. (Mbak Alana pede really mbak, who asked to follow the likes of Mbak Alana kan Author, hehehe)
(Oh yes, yes Thor, have accused Author, can be replaced by the main character later the same Author, Alana to talk again. Haha).
Alana arrived home 30 minutes later, she parked her car in the garage and got out of the car immediately. He opened the door of his house and immediately went to the dining room to put down the cake he had bought. After that he walked towards his room and wanted to take a shower immediately because his body felt all sticky. The night after eating with his family, they chatted while joking in the living room while enjoying the cake that Alana bought earlier this afternoon. Not forgetting, Alka explained to her parents about Bobby's bad behavior and last afternoon Bobby was desperate to meet Alana in the office even Bobby wanted to slap Alana. Mr. Alex and Ms. Anne were surprised to hear Alka's explanation.
“What did Bobby do to you, son?” ask Mr. Alex to Alana who is lazy to talk about Bobby again.
“What Kak Alka said, Pa. Sorry Alana hasn't told Papa that Alana broke up with Bobby a few days ago. Alana has known Bobby cheated on her behind Alana and when Alana broke up, Bobby disappeared. After two months, she suddenly called Alana and explained that her mother was sick and had just died. Though Alana knew Bobby was still in America, at that time Alana did not believe in Bobby and Alana broke off our relationship, apparently Bobby did not accept, he came back to Indonesia and went straight to meet Alana at the office, we had a fight and when he was about to slap Alana, Kak Alka came to hold Bobby's hand and threatened Bobby not to see Alana again.” Alana explains at length about her relationship with Bobby that her family has never known that Bobby is not a good man. Mr. Alex and Ms. Anne advised Alana and wished that no man would ever dare harm her again. And they apologize for not knowing that it caused their daughter to be hurt. They also hope that next time Alana will tell the problem to her brother and parents. The night was getting late, until they finally returned to their respective rooms to rest.
A week passed, at the office Alana called Gema to make an appointment to meet and she wanted to know how far the preparation for the departure of the gathering is in 2 weeks. He was looking for Echo contact on his phone screen, after meeting he immediately pressed the red button until there was a waiting tone.
“Tut..tut..tut” (not train ride song yes, hehehe).
“Sorry the number you are aiming for does not answer, please repeat a few more moments.” (Eh even the voice mbak operator answered).
“Where the hell Echo, not picked up his phone.” Alana tried once more and still no answer. Alana gets upset and throws her phone to the sofa in her room. He leaned his head there and closed his eyes for a moment. Suddenly he remembered last week's incident when Bobby came to the office. He did not think Bobby could be as determined as it was to meet him to the office and fortunately there was Alka who defended him. If Alka doesn't come, Alana will feel Bobby's slap and maybe Bobby will also go to jail on charges of violence. But he feels relieved now to finally be completely free from Bobby, and do not meet people like Bobby again. The ringing of the cell phone resuscitated Alana's daydream, and she immediately picked up the phone she had thrown onto the sofa earlier. Seen the name Echoes on the screen of his phone, Alana immediately received it with a little annoyance.
“Hallo Gema. You where the hell from earlier on the phone not lifted?” alana said she couldn't hold back her anger.
“Hallo Alana, don't be angry continue dong. I'm sorry I was still on the road, it's just up to the office and when I opened the phone, there was a missed call from you. What do you need to call me?” reply Echoes instantly relieve Alana's emotions.
“Yes I don't know if you're still on the road. After hours new nyampek office.”
“Iya I had a business for a while. My mother asked to be escorted to the hospital because she was not feeling well,” explained Gema.
“Whatever your reason I don't want to know. All I need now, how are you guys preparing for the 2 weeks of gathering? ask Alana.
(How can he be this selfish, echoed in the heart).
“Alright, I will monitor until the departure date until I return here again. Don't forget I also participated in the event, I also want my service to be likened to my employees, I don't want to be specialized like other bosses,” Alana told Gema. Instantly Gema sees the good side of Alana that does not want to be considered a boss, who is given special services, and wants to blend in with her employees.
“Good Alana, I will prepare everything, as you wish,” replied Echo ended her phone.
(It turns out Alana can also be absent from her ferocity, Echoes smile to remember her).
*In the echo house
Arriving at home, Gema immediately met his mother and examined the condition of his mother who was lying weak, because she had fainted earlier this morning. The doctor said his mother was just exhausted, his blood pressure was very low and he had a lot of thoughts. Actually Gema did not have the heart to leave her mother alone at home, finally this morning Gema asked her son Mang Dadang, Lita to take care of her mother. Echoes opened the door of his mother's room and approached her mother who was awake because she heard the sound of vespa echo. And 15-year-old Lita was sleeping next to her mother.
“Bu, how is Mom doing now? What's still hurting? What do you want to eat Echoes? tanya Echoes in a row and is replied to a smile by her mother.
“Mother is Alright Echo. I feel better than this morning. You don't have to worry,” replied his mother is still a little weak.
“Iya has Bu. Mom, wait a minute. Echoes bath first, after that echoes mouthfuls eat. Gema bought chicken porridge at the end of the alley,” said Gema and her mother agreed.
After taking a shower and changing clothes Echo to the kitchen prepare chicken porridge that he bought earlier. Then he went to his mother's room and saw that Lita was awake. Not to forget Gema bought cake and ice cream for Lita earlier.
“Eh Lita has woken up too, thank you already want to take care of mom, this is a cake for you,” said Gema while giving the package to Lita and Lita received it with pleasure.
“Lita thank you son, you already want to nemenin Mom,” said Ibu Gema later.
“Iya, it's okay Mom, mas Gema, Lita is also bosen at home continue, this is still a school holiday. I hope you get healthy again soon. Lita said goodbye to go home first. Thanks for the echo of the cake,” said Lita say goodbye to Gema and her mother while kissing their hands.
“Iya, sorry I can not anter until the house is Lit,” said Gema chuckled because Lita's house is right next to her house, only walking 5 steps already arrived. And Lita assented with her own smile.
“This is Mom, the porridge is eaten first. After that take the medicine. Echoes of bribe nih,” said Gema while feeding her mother painstakingly. Echoes hope that his mother will soon recover as usual, because he did not have the heart to see his mother until fainted like this morning.
