Echoes In My Heart

Malu

Suddenly the shadow got closer and startled the Echoes.

“Hayooo, again bengong aja, later kesambet angel youho,” said Alka while patting Gema's shoulder.

(The echo is not surprised because the shadow does not look long-haired. Uh it turns out Alka is coming, kirain mbak kunti ya, author boongin nih, hehehe).

“Eh Mas Alka, no longer dumb. Again looking for wind too, Mas?” Echoes shift his seat.

“Iya, Jogja is hot, even though the AC in the room is already on fire, but still hot,” said Alka who was wearing a muffled T-shirt and shorts at the time. Likewise with Gema, he also wore a t-shirt and shorts so as not to be too sultry.

Then they chatted, occasionally laughing together no matter what joke they were laughing at. Inside Alana's room, there was a noise from outside that made her get up from her bed. He looked over from the window, and looked at the two of them who were busy chatting. Meta follows Alana to the window and looks out. He saw Alka and Gema laughing together.

“Ngapain anyway the guys make a fuss outside,” said Alana looks annoyed.

“Apaan the hell Al, they're just talking. You distracted?” Meta noticed Alana's slightly irritated face but continued to direct her hand towards the Echoes without blinking.

“Ehem. Helloooo, Alanaaaa.” Meta screamed a little into Alana's ear because he didn't answer her question. Alana immediately covered her ears.

“Ihh, Kak Meta nothing at all. No need to use screaming dong Kak.”

“You're the shit. He said he dreamt. Wagging what the hell? Definitely again daydreaming Ema yaa?” goda Meta who was suspicious since Alka teased him on the bus while in Bandung yesterday.

“Hushhh, don't be loud dong Kak, later to be horrified,” said Alana while closing Meta's mouth. And Meta further amplified his voice to be heard from outside the window.

“Alkaaa, Alana again thought Gema nih,” said Meta half yelled, instantly Alka and Gema outside staring at the window where Alana and Meta look in the room.

“Ngapain anyway girls again screaming,” said Alka while rising from her seat will approach Alana and Meta, then Gema held her back.

“Udahlah Mas, biarin. Maybe they were joking,” said Gema and Alka returned to her seat. For a moment he looked at Alana, then Alana turned her gaze and pulled Meta's hand back to her bed.

“Ihh, Kak Meta nothing at all. They came here right, I'm ashamed, Kak,” said Alana while hiding her face under the pillow.

“Ngapain is shy? Usually also shy,” said Meta and immediately they laughed together until heard from outside.

Gema and Alka ordered two cups of coffee to accompany their conversation. Not to forget Alka ordered two cups of coffee for Meta and Alana, then she told Gema to give it to Meta and Alana from outside the room window. The two girls were still joking and their laughter was so loud that they could not hear Echoes knocking on their windows. Echoes repeat it again. Tok.shock.

“Kak Meta, Alana..” The slightly loud echoing sound instantly stopped the laughter of the two.

They rushed towards the sound, behind the window the middle echo brought 2 cups of still hot cappuccino coffee. Alana who knew it was Gema immediately stepped back but Meta held her back.

“Who is Al?” ask Meta while looking at the window. Seen Echoes still patiently waiting for the two girls. “There is Gema Al, it's samperin tuh your prince,” added Meta while pushing Alana and almost fell out the window.

“If fall in the arms of the prince is okay dong Al,” said Meta later. The echoes that heard were only smiling but the pounding of his heart became even faster. He was as strong as he could to keep her from being seen by Alana.

“What's the Echo?” asked Alana flatly.

“This is coffee for the two of you from Mas Alka,” said Gema while giving the coffee to Alana.

“OK, thank you,” replied Alana while picking up the coffee from the hands of Echoes. For a moment Gema was silent, he still felt his heartbeat feel like it was going to be dislodged. He looked at Alana so deeply. Alana who realized Echoes was daydreaming, tried to surprise him.

“You until when you bengong here continue,” said Alana who made Echoes stammer.

“Emm, yes, yes.. I'm goin. Don't forget me yes, uh wrong, don't forget to drink yes coffee.”

Not yet getting an answer from Alana, Gema immediately left from the presence of the girl who had made him nervous. He quickened his steps towards Alka and sat down beside Alka with a breath of frenzy. Alka who saw such an echo immediately asked.

“Gema, why are you? Did I get run over by a demon?” he asked while sipping his coffee which began to cool due to the night wind at that time.

“Iya Mas, I'm again chased by beautiful demons.” Echoes instantly shut his mouth again, why is his condition so chaotic every close to Alana.

“What did you say? Where are there beautiful demons chasing you?” Alka went in different directions and found no one there.

“Hehehe, not really Mas. I'm just nervous if I meet Alana,” replied Gema while grimacing.

“Yeah, are you flanked by Alana kok to groggy so?” Alka smiled at the funny behavior of Echoes. He felt that Gema was liking his sister.

“Neither - apain kok Mas,” said a short echo while sipping coffee.

“Gema, can I ask you something?”

“Iya Kak, ask aja,” replied Gema and immediately Alka stood up from before Gema.

“Do you like my sister?”

Alka stared intently at Echo's eyes and made Echoes instantly tremble at Alka's question. He did not know what to answer, nor was he sure of his own feelings. At one point he wanted to be near Alana, and at the other he was embarrassed to be with Alana. He was not confident in himself being an ordinary young man. He was very afraid that he would not be able to make Alana happy. He was just silent as if hypnotized by Alka's question just now.

“Gema, you heard me say no?” Alka repeated her question back because Gema just kept silent and lowered her head. He had no idea what was bothering the young man's mind. Does he not like his sister, or is there anything else he doubts at this time. Alka was still waiting for an answer from the Echoes. For a long time, Alka was impatient because Gema only fell silent.

“Gema, I asked you as a man. Do you like Alana?” rework Alka back.
