Echoes In My Heart
Meet Mother Echo
The next day, after work Gema went straight to Alana's office. He would invite his girlfriend to meet his mother. He drove his vespanya at high speed to get to Alana's office immediately. Because he was already half an hour late from their promise yesterday. He was afraid that Alana was angry, and soon he arrived in front of the factory. He reached into his pants pocket to contact Alana who was still in the office. Alana's phone rang from her desk.
“Hallo Echo, have you arrived?” Alana found out Gema was calling her.
“Iya Alana, I'm in front of the factory. Sorry you waited so long. There were some work that I had to finish,” obviously Gema who was worried about Alana who was waiting for too long.
“Yes, I didn't wait long. I've also just finished, I'll be there in a minute. Wait yes.” Alana hangs up, she immediately tidies the table, then goes downstairs. From a distance he saw Gema who was talking with the factory security.
“That's Non Alana, Mas,” said the factory security guard when he saw Alana was out.
“Iya Sir, I say go home first yes. Welcome back to work.”
After saying goodbye Gema approached Alana who was walking towards him with a smile.
“Hai, you waited a long time huh?” alana asked while wearing her helmet.
“Not also, will be managed by Mr. Satpam. I thought you were waiting a long time because it was stiff already late pick up,” said Gema while turning on her vespanya and Alana riding behind her.
“So I still have a job, until I forgot to call you.”
Echoes drove his motorbike out of the factory, in front of the security guard post they both did not forget to greet the guard who was standing guard. The security guard replied with a friendly smile.
On the way Alana was a little nervous, although not the first time to meet with Gema's mother. It used to not be a lover of Echoes, so just say hello. But now, he has become a lover of Echoes, he does not know how to behave. Echoes who realized Alana from earlier were silent trying to ask.
“Alana, why are you quiet from earlier?”
“Emm, actually I'm nervous to see your mom?”
“Yeah, I know why you? Relax, have you ever met Mom? You're not scary, are you?”
“Yes, too, but we haven't been there yet. But now I'm your boyfriend, yes different circumstances.” Alana was still busy squeezing her hands into sweat due to her excessive nervousness.
“Here you handle , don't be nervous. I just want to get to know you more closely.” Echoes grabbed Alana's hand slowly to hold on to her waist to make her more comfortable. Alana felt she was calmer than before. Not to forget they stopped by their subscription bakery to buy souvenirs for his mother Gema, as usual bread abon and strawberry pudding.
Soon they had arrived in front of a very beautiful house and there was a small garden in the yard in front of the house. The small garden looks very well maintained, many flowers are blooming in pots that are lined up neatly around the yard. At the end of the yard there is an old car owned by Eema that looks shiny. Although the house looks simple but looks beautiful with decorated flowers around the house and the walls were overgrown with colorful orchid plants. Ibu Gema filled her free time to care for the flowers, Alana was transfixed and fascinated by the beauty of that simple house.
“You are in or above the motor only Neng?” echo speech surprised Alana who from earlier was dumbstruck.
“Eh, yes. yes want to enter dong.” Alana was shy, she got off the bike and took off her helmet.
“Yuk, Mom must be inside.” Echoes gently hold Alana's hand and open the door of her unlocked home.
“Mother, Echoes home.” The echoes half-screamed after seeing the living room and the living room seem empty. Alana followed behind Gema, she looked around the clean and tidy room.
“Iya, I'll wait here, but where is your bathroom? I'm going to go to the toilet.”
“Oh, let me drop off, the bathroom is next to the kitchen.”
Echoes deliver Alana to the bathroom, and leaves her to find her mother in the room. When he was about to knock on the door of the room, his mother came out of the room.
“Gema, you just came Nak?” his mother smiled at the arrival of Echoes.
“Iya Ma'am, New echoes arrive. It was a call-up, but I didn't hear. There's someone Gema brought here. Let's go ahead.” His mother knew for sure that Alana was invited by Gema to the house, although Gema did not tell him before because her mother had slept last night when Gema came home. When they reached the living room, they saw no one there.
“Not anyone Son? Who are you talking to?” ask mother Gema.
“Lho he has not returned from the toilet,” muttered Echoes. “Mother wait here for a while, last time Echo stayed she said goodbye to the bathroom.”
Echoing towards the bathroom, he saw the door of his bathroom open and there was no one inside. Echoes a little worried, is it true that Alana is afraid to meet her mother? He decided to return to the living room, along with Alana entered from the front door while carrying the parcel they had bought earlier.
“I guess you came home for fear of meeting my mother?” ema asked as she stroked her chest, she was relieved that Alana was not coming home.
“Ihh, what are you anyway? I'm just going ahead to take this. You forgot that?”
“Yes too yes.. Haha. Come on, we're going to the living room, I've been waiting.”
Then they stepped towards the living room, Gema's mother smiled sweetly welcoming Alana as Alana kissed her hand. They were as friendly as when they first met. He stroked Alana's long hair and immediately hugged the sweet girl. Alana was not nervous anymore like that, she was more comfortable with the attitude of mother Gema was very good.
“Mother how are you?” Alana said politely.
“Alhamdulillah, Good mother Nak Alana, even very good. Let's sit down Nak,” said mother Gema while inviting Alana to sit down. Alana followed him, sitting beside her mother. And the Echoes sat in front of them.
“Oh yes this little parcel for Mom. Sorry Alana did not have time to buy anything Bu.” Alana gave the parcel she took from the echo motor earlier.
“Thank you son, you don't have to bother. I'm glad you want to play here. I made you a drink first yes.” Alana agrees, lucky to meet Gema and her kind and very friendly mother.
They talk, sometimes laugh together. It didn't feel like it was night, Alana said goodbye to Gema's mother. Echoes say goodbye to drive Alana home. Ibu Gema ushered to the front of the house, Alana kissed Gema's mother's hand, as well as Gema.
“You bring a car, son, kasian Nak Alana, but do not speed, bring a girl. Beware if you get a little blister,” said his mother Echoes make them laugh together again.
“Iya Ma'am, Echoes bring a car. Echoes will also drive Alana home without a single scuff. I am calm,” replied Echoes politely.
“Alana home yes Mom, sometime Alana stopped by again.”
“Iya Nak, greetings to your parents yes.” Alana agreed and Gema immediately drove her car out of her yard.
