Echoes In My Heart
Darling
As usual, Mr. Asep and Gema did a speech as representatives of the 10 buses leaving at the time. This trip looks different than before because the owner of Alana Jaya Tekstil does not participate in this second gathering. The greeting of Mr. Asep was completed and continued the prayer that was read Echo. One hour departure, Gema gives bread and mineral water as the opening snack of the trip. He also painstakingly prepared the needs of the entourage such as giving medicines, and ensuring safe and comfortable travel conditions.
Mr. Asep played music to enliven the atmosphere, until the Echoes followed by sitting next to Mr. Asep. They also chatted with the driver and assistant driver, until late at night all groups were asleep because the trip was still long.
“Gema, how is your relationship with Alana?” Mr. Asep suddenly asked about his relationship with Alana who had only been running for two weeks.
“Our relationship is good Sir. A few days ago, Alana had me meet Mom too.”
“Oh yes. Good, hopefully your relationship until the wedding later.” Sincere prayer from Mr. Asep for Echoes.
And do not forget Gema asked about Rani, because after the trip from Jogja last week Rani more to meet travel clients outside the office. So they rarely met even when they had gathered at the Alana Jaya Tekstil factory, Rani had entered the bus first, now his daughter is undergoing an approach with his colleague's son who was none other than Rani's college friend who was talked about by Mr. Asep. Apparently the matchmaking went smoothly, seen the look of Mr. Asep's face that was more enthusiastic than usual. Echoes of relief not because Rani no longer chased after herself anymore. But Gema wants Rani to get a man who wholeheartedly loves her.
Suddenly Gema wants to send a message to Alana, even though she knows that her lover may have fallen asleep. He reached into his sling bag and took his phone, he smiled when he saw the wallpaper of his phone there is a sweet face Alana when in Jogja some time ago. Then he typed something there.
Echoes : “Good sleep, my Lord Daughter, may a good dream, eh wrong. Don't dream beautiful, dream I aja.”
Echoes add emoticons love to the message, the smile still expands on his face until unexpectedly Alana is still awake and reply to the message.
Alana: “Iya darling, I will dream of you. Have fun in Jogja.”
Alana instead added two love emoticons in her message to Gema. He was not able to sleep at that time, so to kill his bike he played games on his phone until he received a sweet message from the Gemanya. And Echoes widened his eyes as he read the affectionate words that Alana had written on the message. He widened his smile and immediately replied to a message from Alana.
*Gema: “What did you say? The darling? I was so embarrassed. Try you say again.”
Alana: “Ishhhh, what the hell. I want to call it.”
Echo: “Iya, call me that one more time.”
Alana: “Iya DARLING. Your satisfaction*.”
Echo: “Hahaha. I want to hear straight from your mouth.”
Alana: “Emang you came back to Bandung just to hear it from me?”
Once again Gema did not expect that Alana would call him dear. Indeed this is common for people who are dating, but not for Gema because it is the first time. Either he was still stubborn when he met or talked to Alana. Even every time they met, the rustle of the waves in his heart was still churning at home. Supposedly a man who is romantic to his partner, Gema still can not behave like that because he is inexperienced. But he'll learn after this to be a romantic guy, even though Alana doesn't need that. He looked so happy at the time, that he could not sleep thinking about Alana who was far away.
Alana read repeatedly the last sentence of Gema, but her intention was only to tease Gema. He was also unaware of what he had written. Surely he will be embarrassed when he meets Gema later, but naturally because he is pregnant at this time. Alana put her phone on the nightstand, and tried to close her eyes slowly until she fell asleep.
At 4 am, the group had reached Parangtritis Beach to transit and rest again at the Parangtritis area inn. Before breakfast, all the troupe walk around the beach, Gema photographed the sunrise at that time and he sent it to Alana. He added a sentence to the photo he sent.
“You got greetings from Jogja."
Once Gema wrote a poetic side to the results of her shots, then she returned to accompany the group and directed to take pictures together.
In Bandung, Alana who had just woken up from her sleep immediately headed for the bathroom. After taking a shower and getting dressed to the office, he put his phone in his small bag and rushed down to the dining room for breakfast with his family. Sometimes he forgets that he already has a lover, so he does not realize his cellphone from earlier flickering signs there is a message that has not been read.
“Alana, Echo and entourage have arrived in Jogja?” ask Mr. Alex in the middle of their breakfast.
“Jeez, I forgot that Echoes are now in Jogja. Momentarily Pa, I haven't seen my phone from earlier.”
Mr. Alex was just shaking his head at his daughter's behavior. Alana saw some messages from Echoes from the moment she was with a group at Parangtritis Beach.
“Gema and entourage 4am ago Pa,” said Alana after seeing some incoming messages from Gema. Unwittingly, he smiled to himself after getting a photo from Echoes.
“Ehemm, there are self-smiling tuh Ma, Pa.” Alka who had been watching her sister could guess that her sister was pregnant at this time, understand just had a boyfriend.
“Sister, always deh. Want to know about people's business.” Alana piqued her lips. His brother was always not tired of teasing him.
“Not want to know your business, but you are still bucin right now. Naturally and I have never experienced it,” said Alka while laughing with width.
“Already you are always, not morning, not noon, not night, fighting mulu. I finished breakfast, you're late later.” Miss Anne has always been a mediator for her children when they only care about trivial things like that. They continued to eat breakfast again without a sound, which was heard only the clinking of spoons and plates echoing in the dining room.
Shortly after breakfast, Alana and Alka bamitan went to the factory by driving their respective cars. Because of the plan Alka will meet Meta for building reservations and catering for her wedding next week. And Alana Beniat visited Ibu Gema who was in her own house when Gema drove the group out of town.
