Echoes In My Heart
There's A Weird One
Alana approached her family, looking like Alka and Meta were happy. Likewise with Mr. Alex, Ms. Anne and Meta's parents who are no less happy. The date of the wedding has also been set, they will be married in two weeks. Means one week after the gathering trip to Jogja. Alka and Meta have only one week to prepare for their wedding. They do not worry because everything has been left to the wedding organizer who will take care of their wedding preparations.
In the middle of her family, Alana still notices Ekema who is still with the girl next to her. Alana feels something strange in her, she feels dislike if Gema is close to the girl.
“What feeling is God? Why don't I like to see Echoes close to other girls? What if he is indeed her boyfriend Echoes?” said Alana in the heart who is still in a position to pay attention to the Echoes there.
Echoes were aware that Alana was watching herself even from afar, when she looked at Alana's face, for a moment Alana turned her face in another direction.
“Something weird about Alana? Though he was fine,” Inner Echoes.
As the night wore on, Mr. Asep, Gema and Rani said goodbye to Mr. Alex and Alana and his family. Alana drove the three of them to the front of the house and did not forget to thank them for their arrival.
“Thank you so much Mr. Asep has already taken the time to attend my sister's event,” said Alana without turning to Gema and Rani.
“Sama-sama by Alana. We say yes, until we meet on the gathering trip in two days,” said Mr. Asep while shaking Alana's hand.
“Good Mr. Asep, we are ready to leave in two days. Be careful on the road Sir,” said Alana. Echoes also wanted to say goodbye but Alana immediately passed from before the three of them.
“Come on Echo, we're home. Yes, I can go home with you?” pinta Rani who walks beside the Echoes.
“Ran, our house is not in the same direction, besides you were with Mr Asep right? Why come home with me?” Echoes who felt uncomfortable with Rani from earlier also immediately rejected Rani's request.
“Rani, let's go home, you until when do you want to follow the echo continue?” said Mr. Asep who understood that Gema was very uncomfortable with his son. Not because Rani should not be close to Gema, but Mr. Asep realized that Gema was liking Alana. On the other hand Mr. Asep has considered Echoes like his own son. From there he disapproves of Rani having a relationship with Gema. The plan is that Mr. Asep will match Rani with Bima, the son of his old high school friend, he is also Rani's college friend and has put his heart on Rani since they went to college. But Rani is still indifferent to her father's request.
“Good Pa, I'm going home with Papa. Pity later mas Gema so back and forth if you have to nganter Rani first,” said Rani later.
“Iya already, let's get in the car. Echoes of us going home first yes, you are careful on the road. Don't speed, say hello to your mother,” said Mr. Asep while getting into his car.
“Good sir, I will give my greetings to my mother. Be careful on the road Sir,” replied Echo while getting into his car as well.
When Gema had started her car, Alana suddenly came out to him with a box in her hand.
“Gema, good thing you haven't come home yet. Here I drop something for your mother, hopefully she likes it,” said Alana soon passed from there without a thank you from Gema. The echo was just silent not flinching after receiving the box. She has not thanked Alana.
“Thank you Alana, but why is it as if you're avoiding me?” mumbling Echoes.
Echoes drove his car home, he forgot to say goodbye to his mother because his mother was going to the market when he left for work this morning. Again his mother must be worried he's coming home the other night. He immediately stepped on the gas at high speed to get home soon. Half an hour later, Echoes had reached the front of the house and immediately parked his car next to the house. He got out of his car and picked up Alana's box. From inside his house, there was a faint sound of people talking and occasionally interspersed with laughter. No one usually visits these nights.
“Who are you talking to?” the word echo in the heart. He knocked on the door and went inside. “Gema rumah” said Gema instantly stopped her mother's conversation with some people.,
“Iya Ma'am, sorry Echoes home again last night, this morning Echoes forgot to say goodbye to the night because there was an event at Alana's house,” clearly Echoes while looking into the eyes of his mother who is not worried like before.
“Iya, indeed the mother was going to the market when you left,” replied her mother. “O yes, this knows my friends in Jogja first. They were on vacation to Bandung, yesterday mother's phone said she wanted to stop by,” continued her mother while introducing her friends.
“Lho Nan, this is your son, who is handsome, very similar to his father,” said one of mother's female friends Gema.
“Hallo Aunt, hello Om. Introduce me Gema,“ said Gema while shaking the hands of her mother's friends.
“Hallo Nak Gema, greetings yes. Wow you are handsome exactly like your father,” said mother's male friend Gema.
“Please continue to chat, o yes this ma'am there is a deposit from Alana,” said Gema while handing the box containing the cake to his mother. Then a bawling echo went into the room to cleanse his body. His mother came back with her friends and served cake from Alana earlier.
Half an hour later, his mother's guests went home and returned to the hotel where they were staying. Do not forget they leave greetings to the Echoes. Echoes out of the room and sees her mother closing the door.
“Lho friends mom already home?” tanya Gema while fiddling with her phone.
“Already, they will return to the hotel because tomorrow morning will continue the journey again,” explained mother Gema. “O yes what events are there in Alana's house, why is she ngundang you also Nak?” asked his mother while washing the glasses and dishes of his former guests.
“Gema and Mr. Asep are invited to the engagement event at Alana Bu”'s house said Echo.
“Lho, Alana is already Nak's fiancee?” mother's surprised.
“At first Gema also thought like that Mom, it turns out that the fiancee is her brother,” said Gema while sharing her smile.
“Mother thinks Alana is engaged, failed to be mother dong's daughter-in-law. Hehehe.” His mother chuckled, Echoes are just head bobbles.
“Mother what the hell. Echoes feel inappropriate for a girl like Alana, Mom,”, said Gema while exhaling her breath.
“Eh, don't tell me so dong Nak. Have not tried to lose first, try to approach him first, until when you will continue to be alone. Is it the same with Rani?” his mother Gema.
“What did Mom say? Same Rani? Ih ogah ah Bu, that installment girl. Gema also already consider Rani like Gema's own sister Bu.” Echoes shudder hearing her mother mention Rani's name.
“Iya is Son. Mother is up to you, the important thing is that she is good and accepts you as you are. Mother can only pray for the best soul mate for the child Mother,” said Ibu Gema while rubbing her child's head.
“Iya Ma'am. Thank you mom for always supporting whatever decision Echoes. The echoes of promise will make Mother happy. Now it's night Mom, let's Echoes to the room to rest,” said Gema then drove his mother to the room, not forgetting he took the medicine while giving a glass of water to his mother.
As usual, Gema returned to her room after making sure her mother was asleep. He immediately threw his body into the bed and began to close his eyes.
