Echoes In My Heart
Threes
At 10 o'clock, Alana just woke up from her sleep because it's Sunday. He deliberately lounges in bed and refuses to clean himself up. Even when he was studying abroad, his holiday was spent lying in bed and never going anywhere. No one dared to bother him when a holiday like this, because the people in his house understand the activities of Alana outside the house who is working hard to develop his family factory. When he wanted to close his eyes again suddenly heard the sound of worms singing in his stomach. He irritatedly got out of bed and with a messy face he immediately went downstairs to pick up food in the kitchen. Alana opened the door and passed her mother.
“You just woke up baby?” asked her mother with a smile and Alana just replied with a giggle.
“Hehehe, Mom. Sorry Alana woke up bad luck, uh not bad luck anyway. The correct afternoon” replied Alana glimpsed spoiled on her mother's arm.
“Ihh still acem nih, you don't shower first? Slut son Mama” seductive mother.
“No ah, I want to feed the worms in my stomach already calling, I went to the kitchen first Ma. Mama cooks good, right?” alana said as she ran away leaving her mother who was shaking her head, astonished by the behavior of her daughter.
(Hat habit, has not been answered already playing away, muttered Alana's mother).
Alana headed to the dining table near the kitchen, she opened large bowls containing white rice, roasted chicken seasoning soy sauce, fried shrimp flour, potato parchment, chicken soup and don't forget sambal. Hmm, very tempting to taste, Alana immediately took the plate and filled the plate with the dishes that had been served at the table. He enjoyed the bad morning meal itself, because everything was already breakfast this morning.
After eating, he washed the dishes, although in his house there were many servants, but Alana still wanted to enter the kitchen and struggled with dirty dishes. After washing the dishes, Alana ran to her room to take a shower. Shortly after, he was neat and fragrant when he left the room. He went to a reading room not far from his room because his father deliberately designed a special room for the family library. They like to read, it is not wrong if they often spend time in the room. Outside the room there is a balcony equipped with a garden chair and a table made of iron, in order to read books while enjoying the breeze. Alana likes to read her favorite books there, not forgetting she made a glass of orange juice to accompany her to spend the books.
In the afternoon, Gema wants to take her healthy mother for a walk to the city park. He was ready and heating his car. Yes, it is an old car left by the father when he was in Jogja that he cared for until now. Echoes rarely drive the car, because he prefers to go to work with his favorite Vespa. Echoes only use the car when taking his mother to see a doctor, while traveling with his mother, and every return home to Jogja. Although he and his mother in Bandung, do not forget they both always took the time to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Gema's father in Jogja. When her mother was ready, she opened the door for her mother. And he immediately drove his car out of the yard of the house, suddenly the echo suddenly raged.
“What's the son of? Did his car break” asked his mother a little surprised.
“Sorry Mom, the car is not damaged. Echoes stepped on the brakes because they saw Lita sitting alone on the porch of her house. How about we also take her Bu?” clearly echoed to his mother.
“Yes geez. What do you think is going on? You can, you call Lita there to take the same streets we” Echoes nod their heads and immediately get out of the car to meet Lita.
“Lita, what are you doing? Follow us Echo yuk?” invite Ema while approaching Lita.
“Lita no longer do anything. Mas Gema where are you going?” ask Lita while looking at the Echoes car in front of the house.
“Mas Gema would like to take the mother for a walk to the city park. Follow yuk?” bring the Echoes once again.
“We go for a trip of three, huh mas? Yes Lita come, but Lita permission first huh?” lita cried while moving from her seat.
Shortly after, Lita came out of the house with a happy face. He changed his clothes and picked up a small bag to carry. Echoes are just a head shake.
On the way, looks mother Gema's face is very happy. He saw a building standing solidly along the road. The beautiful and handsome shopkeeper serves visitors with a friendly smile. They looked neatly dressed in the alma mater uniforms of their respective shops. He remembered his ideals before he married Gema's father, he was eager to own a cake shop. But all that could not be realized because he had to fight hard to meet the needs of the Echo so that he forgot his ideals.
“Bu, we buy cake in the store front yes for snacks in the park later?” ask Echoes. But his mother was still silent because she did not hear the echo question.
“Bu?” added Gema and immediately surprised her mother because Gema held her mother's hand.
“Oh my goodness, shocked mother Echoes. What's up?” his mother looked into his son's eyes.
“Tadi Gema want to invite mother to buy cake in the store in front of it, but instead mother again daydream. What do you think?” Echoes are still focusing on the wheel while listening to his mother's explanation.
“There is nothing Echo, I am just happy to see the shops lined up just” explained mother Gema.
“Oh yes let's buy a cake for a snack in taman” added mother Gema while looking for a cake shop called Gema.
“Hmmmm..alah” says a short echo. He was still guessing what his mother was thinking so he did not hear the echo question.
Echoes stopped his car in front of the cake shop that was on the side of the road, it also happened to be a subscription store Echoes. Echoes brought Lita down from the car, while her mother kept waiting in her car. He momentarily recalled his encounter with Alana who was scrambling over strawberry pudding. He smiled to himself as he opened his car door and walked into the cake shop.
Echoes take some cake, he calls Lita to choose the cake he likes. After that he paid for all his groceries at the cashier.
“Mas why not buy strawberry pudding?” said the cashier holding a smile.
“Oh yes, I forgot mbak” Gema ran to pick up that strawberry pudding and it didn't take long for him to return to the cashier.
“Still yes mbak” added Gema with breath gasping.
“Total all so one hundred and fifteen thousand yes mas” mbak the cashier handed a receipt to Gema.
“This mbak. Thanks” said Gema while handing over the money to the cashier.
Echoes with Lita back to the car with a few plastic bags. He drives his car at low speed. His mother still enjoyed the beautiful view that afternoon from the car.
