Echoes In My Heart
Oh Turns out
As Gema pitched her foot in front of Alana's door, someone patted her shoulder from behind. Instantly Gema turned his head and it turned out that Mr. Asep was behind him because they did not leave together earlier. Mr. Asep went home first to clean up and change into his best suit. Not to forget he dressed as usual, thick mustache and hair drizzle was not left as his identity.
“Pak Asep, just arrived Sir? I think it's inside,” said Gema after finding out who patted her shoulder just now.
“Iya Echoes, you need to groom first to look handsome in front of Alana and Mr. Alex,” replied Mr. Alex with a big smile. Echoes also widen his smile as a sign of agreeing with the statement of Mr. Asep.
“You are more handsome with clothes like this,” praise Mr. Asep who is watching the clothes Echoes other than usual. He wears a navi plain shirt and gray chinos and sneakers that match his pants. Adding to the impression of his appearance at that time, fortunately Rani did not follow Mr. Asep, could stick to the same echo.
“Yesterday it was the Father who told Gema to wear neat and polite clothes. Is there something wrong Sir with the echo outfit, Sir?” tanya Gema while watching her clothes from the bottom up.
“Not really. There is nothing wrong with your clothes, your fault is that you are more handsome than me. Hahaha.” Mr. Asep and Echoes laughed at the same time. For a moment their laughter stopped because of the appearance of a girl approaching the two. Echoes instantly widened his eyes to see who was walking towards him and Mr. Asep.
“Ra.. Rani's.. Are you here?” Ema smiled wryly to see Rani coming to the event while turning to the direction of Mr. Asep.
“Iya dong mas Echoes. At first Papa can not come, then Mr. Alex calls Papa if you ask Mama and her children too. Since Mama again there is an arisan so I came here” explained Rani made Gema a little sorry to come on the show.
“Iya Gema, it was Mr. Alex who contacted me to invite my wife and children. But Mama Rani can not come, her brother and sister also again there are their respective events. So only Rani can attend this event,” added Mr. Asep who only got a nod from Gema.
“Good. Let's go in, it looks like the show will start soon,” invite Gema immediately Rani clasped her hand on the arm of Gema which makes Gema a little uncomfortable. He let go of Rani's hand, but Rani again clasped her hand. Echoes can only be resigned to his current state. He turned to look at Mr. Asep who was shaking his head while smiling at the Echoes.
(Lord, what more ordeal is this until You bring Rani on this show, complained Gema while stroking her chest).
Then they entered Mr. Alex's house and headed to the place where the engagement was about to begin. Mr. Alex welcomed Mr. Asep, Gema and a girl he had seen for the first time who was walking towards him.
“Goodnight Mr. Alex,” greet Mr. Asep, Gema and Rani together while shaking Mr. Alex's hand.
“Goodnight Mr. Asep, mas Gema and this..... his girlfriend mas Gema ya?” said Mr. Alex who thought Rani was Gema's lover, because they both look like lovers to those who do not know them. Echoes are just a daze because confused what to answer.
“Iya Mr. Alex, I pac.....,” Rani's speech was cut by Mr. Asep instantly.
“He's my son Mr. Alex, not his girlfriend Gema,” said Mr. Asep who made Rani smile wryly and Echo was relieved finally Pak Asep saved him.
“Oh he is the son of Mr. Asep, I think his girlfriend mas Gema,” said Mr. Alex then while allowing to sit and enjoy dinner there.
The three of them ended up sitting near the pool and enjoying the food. Echoes of uneasiness followed Rani wherever she went, after taking a drink Gema approached Mr. Asep in his seat while handing a glass of orange juice to Mr. Asep.
“This is my drink sir,” said Gema while sitting next to Mr. Asep.
“Sama-sama Mr. Asep.” Echoes also sipped his drink, immediately he choked after seeing a handsome and dashing man talking to Mr. Alex at the end there.
“You why did you echo?” rani asked as she patted Gema on the back and cleaned the face and hands of Echoes affected by the drink with a tissue on the table nearby. Mr. Asep was surprised to see Echoes choking.
“You're okay with the echo?” asked Mr. Asep to see Echoes still coughing.
“I'm okay Sir. Here let me clean up my own Ran,” said Gema while keeping Rani's hands away and cleaning her own face and hands.
(It is fitting that Alana was fascinated with such a handsome and stout man, the Inner Echoes).
Echoes still look moody and look at the face of the man who was talking to Mr. Alex, they look very familiar. Shortly after Alana went down with her mother, Echoes did not flinch to see the beauty of Alana. He was stunned to see the face of Alana who was getting more beautiful, while his daydream was scattered by the voice of Mr. Alex who would open the show.
“Goodnight ladies and gentlemen whom we respect, our extended family Alex Jaya thank you for the presence of our Mothers. To shorten the time, let's start this event, namely the engagement of my son Alka Putra Jaya with Meta Adi Lesmana, which is none other than the daughter of doctor Adi Lesmana and doctor Puri Adi Lesmana.” Mr. Alex's welcome was immediately accompanied by boisterous applause from the invited guests who attended the event. Echoes gasp after seeing a beautiful girl accompanied by her parents approach the family of Mr. Alex. Then the handsome man and the girl pin the ring on each other's ring fingers and hug each other. Alana, Mr. Alex and Bu Anne congratulate Alka and Meta, as well as Pak Adi and Bu Puri, Meta's parents also congratulate them. The event was even more lively accompanied by musical accompaniment from the band players in the corner of the pool decorated with lights and beautiful flowers around it.
“It turns out not Alana is engaged today.” Echoes brushed off her smile and looked at the happy looking face of Alana up ahead. Alana realizes the presence of Echoes after seeing Mr. Asep whistling enliven the event. Then Alana approached him and Mr. Asep because from earlier he had not welcomed the two of them.
“Pak Asep thank you for taking the time to attend this event,” said Alana while shaking the hand of Mr. Asep.
“Iya, equally mbak Alana, I also feel honored to receive an invitation from mbak Alana and Mr. Alex,” replied Mr. Asep.
“O yes Echo, thanks for coming,” said Alana switched to shake hands Echoes, immediately Echoes pegung feel warm hands Alana who was touching it. He smiled looking at the sweet girl in front of him, Alana was surprised by the attitude of Echoes who did not respond to him anymore.
“Hallooo, Gemaaa," cried Alana who scattered the reverie of Echoes and instantly released her hand grip.
“Eh, yes Alana. Equally, I am also happy to be present at this event,” said Gema while holding back her embarrassment.
“Ishhh, now again like daydreaming. I guess I'll hold my hand till tomorrow?” Alana poked her lips.
“Sorry-sorry, from yesterday I did not respond to you. Hehehe.” Echoes scratching his head that does not itch.
“Mas Echo, we find food there yuk?” invite Rani who was jealous from earlier to pay attention to the conversation of Alana and Gema. Alana turned towards Rani who looked spoiled at Gema, instantly her look changed. He then said goodbye to Gema and Mr. Asep.
“Gema, I stay there first huh. Mr. Asep please enjoy the food,” said Alana as she passed from the face of the Echoes. Echoes were amazed to see the change in the look of Alana's face since she realized there was Rani on the side of the Echoes.
(What a girl is a lover of Echoes, the inner Alana who feels tight in her chest).
