Echoes In My Heart
Open your Heart
Mr. Alex and Ms. Anne are preparing to go to Bogor to see their new factory being built there. Maybe only 2 to 3 days because this week coincides with the departure of the factory employee gathering group. So they can not linger in Bogor, and must immediately return to accompany the group. Mr. Alex contacted Alana who was in the office after going around monitoring the production activities of the factory.
Crane. kring.kring. The ringing of Alana's phone sounded loud to make her surprised. Before long Alana took her phone, she smiled at her father who called.
“Hallo Pa” greet Alana while staying focused staring at her computer screen.
“Hallo Nak, Papa both Mama want to leave for Bogor this afternoon. You be careful as long as Papa Mama goes” Mr. Alex's voice from the phone line.
“Lho Papa and Mama leave this afternoon? Isn't it still late afternoon?"
“Iya there was a little problem with the factory in Bogor, so Papa hurried to go there. 2 or 3 more days Papa same Mama just returned to Bandung” explained Mr. Alex to his daughter.
“Alright Pa, hopefully the problem quickly finished yes. Alana pray from here. Papa Mama be careful on the trip” said Alana who was a little worried because her father's departure seemed rushed.
“Iya Nak's. Greet your brother yes, Papa did not have time to give him” saying Mr. Alex.
“Iya Pa, Alana will tell Kak Alka. Dahhh Papa” Alana hangs up.
Alana exited her room towards Alka's room, she knocked on the door and heard Alka's words from inside. Alana came in and sat down in front of Alka's table.
“What else is Al?” asked Alka who thought Alana would take her around the factory like that.
“I was around the factory Kok Kak. Don't worry, I'm not here to travel around the factory” Alana as if I can read her brother's mind.
“Hehehe, I thought you wanted..... Ah already do not discuss” said Alka kepalang shy. “What's Al?”
“I'm here just want to tell Brother that Papa and Mama left this afternoon to Bogor”
“Lho is not still later in the afternoon leaving?”
“Iya, at first it was, Papa said there was a little problem there, so Papa hurriedly left”
“Alright then. Later that night Brother will contact Papa, maybe Papa needs help Kakan” said Alka relaxed not as worried about Alana earlier. “You are calm, Papa can solve the problem there?” added Alka who saw the look on Alana's face a little worried.
“Iya Brother, I'm a little relieved now. I'm here for a while, brother, bored in the room alone”
Alka who is still focusing on her files agrees with Alana's question. Alana headed towards the sofa in Alka's room, for a moment she squirmed her body and yawned for a while. Today was exhausting for him. Then Alana was startled by the ringing of the incoming message on her phone, her clasped fingers reaching for the phone lying on her desk. He saw the notification of his phone, there was an incoming message from Echoes.
Alana who had just read the Echoes message just smiled. Just this time there was genuine concern for Alana besides her family. Alka saw from a distance Alana smiling herself, it felt like she had not seen her sister smile for a long time after her quarrel in the office with Bobby a few weeks ago. Is he in love?
“You why smile yourself Al?” alka asked Alana, whose face was red.
“Who smiles by himself anyway Kak?” Alana dodged Alka's question.
“Udahlah, Brother you can not lie to Al. Is there a man who fills your heart now?”
“Apaan sih Kak's. Brother questions do not need Alana answered deh” Alana take her eyes off her brother.
Alana herself is also confused with her heart, she is still not ready to be in a relationship with men. He still felt a very painful wound because he had been hurt by a man. The wound that was scratched yesterday is still not healed because no one has been able to treat it. According to Alana, only her father and brother were always sincere and never hurt her in the least.
“According to Big Brother, it's time you open your heart back Al” said Alka as soon as Alana turned to her sister.
“Sister, I'm not ready if I have to be hurt again. The wound in my heart is still not dry” said Alana glazed over, as if there was something she wanted to spill all the rest in her heart.
Alka momentarily stopped her activities. Instantly he remembered his past, which his former lover had dumped and chose another man who was richer and more established. For a moment he put the files down, walked up to Alana on the sofa and sat down next to her.
“So I know Al how you feel now. My sister has experienced it, not just you. Brother knows exactly the pain, but we must not be constantly bound by the past. At that time Brother also thought like you, did not even want to be in a relationship with a woman back. But Big Brother realized, that Big Brother can not always be selfish. Brother also needs to make Mama and Papa happy, coincidentally those bad moments, Brother met with Meta who was able to heal the wound in Brother's heart. Slowly Brother began to open his heart to Meta, and it turns out that Brother is very grateful to be reunited with Meta, Meta, until now she remains a woman who is able to melt Brother's heart without seduction and excessive demand” said Alka at length and made Alana shed her tears. Alana was listening for the first time to Alka pour out all her heart that she had never shared before. Alana now understands that it is not just her who has been hurt.
“Kak, it turns out that the wound that Brother experienced was more painful than I felt. I should be more grateful at this time because I am still given the strength to deal with this pain”
“Iya Al, Brother understands. Brother just wants you not to get too attached to your past. You must rise from your adversity, you must begin to open your heart to other men. Maybe he is better than Bobby, you will not probably fall into the same hole for the second time” added Alka while giving new hope to her beloved sister.
“Alright Brother. I will try to open my heart, I'm sure slowly this wound will heal by itself. But is there a man who will accept me? Alana hesitated a little.
“Alana, Brother's sweetest sister, eh wrong, not the most anyway, my sister is just you doang. Haha. Joking” said Alka teasing her sister back.
“Issshhhh, start it. Does your sister have another sister besides me?” Alana is upset.
“There is another sister dong besides you. Meta sister name” said Alka makes Alana instantly can not hold her laugh. “Remember the words Sister, Alana. If you have met a man who can heal the wound in your heart, do not forget to tell Brother. Let Sister see, what criteria your dream man” Alana nods her head in agreement.
“But you, Brother, you want to give a new spirit to Alana” said Alana while hugging Alka and Alka returned Alana's embrace while rubbing Alana's head.
Brother sister looks very good at this time, yes it is very rare for them to talk together. Even more frequent fights, this is a new atmosphere for those who try to share with each other.
