Echoes In My Heart

Undecided

On the way, the Echoes just fell silent. There was no conversation between the two of them. Alana who understood the mood of the echo that was not good, she just chose not to ask any questions. The echoes may still be surprised by what happened a few minutes ago. Not that he felt he had a lot of money and did not want to accept it, he just felt bad for his late father who had struggled to collect the money but did not have time to enjoy the results.

His mind so everywhere, he was confused to be used for what the money was, the house already had, the car also had despite the legacy of the father, the father, savings also exist because he always sets aside some of his salary to save. He and his mother lived a simple life, but they could afford to buy anything they wanted, but they valued money more than wasting it.

For a moment his car stopped when there was a cat who suddenly passed in the middle of the road until Gema had to step on the brake suddenly. Fortunately they didn't hit the cat, only Alana was a little surprised.

“What's wrong?” asked Alana who had noticed the echo was daydreaming.

“So there's a cat who wants to cross, sorry Alana. You're okay, right?” Echoes are worried, he is afraid if Alana is injured or hit something on his car.

“I'm okay, just surprised, I end I see you daydreaming continuously from earlier. Kirain you hit people.” Alana's words made Gema rub rough his face, he did not realize that from then on he was just silent and was busy with his own thoughts.

“Dear forgive me, I just lack focus today,” said Gema memelas and Alana understand the current situation.

“It's okay. Come on, we will not arrive if we stay here, besides the cat has also crossed tuh,” said Alana while pointing at a cat who had casually crossed the road.

“Iya-iya. Sorry.” Echoes back to drive the car at medium speed so that Alana soon arrives home. He also saw the look on my face, maybe Alana was a little tired today.

10 Minutes later they had arrived in front of Alana's house, apparently the lights in her house had been turned off the sign that her house people had gone to sleep. Echoes down and opens the door for Alana. Then he drove Alana to the door, Ekema said goodbye after Alana was in his house.

Just as she walked a few steps, Alana came out and held her hand. Their gazes locked onto each other, a second later Alana brushed off her smile and said, ”Honey, you don't mind much. I know today you've been feeling bad since Miss Amalia came to the house. I also know that you're not good at receiving the money, but it's already the will of her late husband that she should do. It is your and mother's right. Accept with pleasure, it may come in handy someday.”

Alana tightly gripped Echoes hand, she stared softly at Echoes eye bead. He saw another view of the unusual echo. The echoes were still unmoved as well as Alana holding her cheek, and the plaque...

Alana hit Gema's face slowly to make Echoes realized from her daydream.

“Alana, why did you hit my cheek?” Echoes holding his cheek that doesn't really hurt.

“You are very nice, I said at length and you are just dumbfounded from earlier. You don't hear me?” Alana pursed her lips, she was annoyed at the Echoes from earlier not listening to her words at all.

“I was horrified. I can't believe you're so mature like that. I don't know what I'll do after this. But you gave me some understanding, I'm actually not good at receiving that money. It was the effort of father first, he should have enjoyed it not me or Mother,” said Gema while releasing her grasp.

“You were right Alana, what you said was all true. I'm selfish, I'm still selfish, I think as if I don't need it. Even so, I have to accept it. I'll give it to mom, but I'm afraid if mom refuses,” said Gema while letting go of her embrace.

“Gema, Mother yesterday had to talk to me if she did reject it. If you both feel bad, go ahead. You replanted that stock in the Bu Amalia factory, how?”

“You're right too huh? Rather than me confused about wanting to be flanked by that much money. Tomorrow we call Ms. Amalia then.” Echoes of relief, Alana is smarter than she imagined. His girlfriend was able to provide a solution for him.

“Alright, you've gone home. I want to sleep,” Alana said with a smile. He was relieved that Gema would accept his opinion.

“You ngusir me subtly?” Echoes said as he swept his lips. And Alana immediately pinched the cheek of Echoes so anxious.

“Yes, let me re-evaluate you. Do you want to go home and stay here?” alana Goda.

“Iya dong. Not-time. Haha. Yes, I went home first. Thanks baby, today you have made my feelings back to the way they were,” he said while hugging Alana back.

“Iya, equally. Thank you for taking me home too. Until the house breaks. You're working tomorrow right?”

“Yes, I'll let you know when I'm home. You also rest. Good night, Mr. My daughter.” Echoes waved his hand and immediately got inside his car. Alana went inside the house and immediately headed for her room to rest.

On the way, Gema thought through the words Alana said earlier.

(Why don't I think about planting that stock again, Alana is smart. I'm proud of you dear, Inner Echoes).

Arriving home, her mother has fallen asleep, perhaps too long waiting for Gema to deliver Alana home. Echoes noticed his mother's face being fresher than usual. He saw peace as he looked at that face, a woman who never asked, complained and even accepted whatever was his destiny.

“I will make mom happy anytime,” he said while kissing his mother's forehead. He pulled out a blanket to cover the body of his mother who was sleeping. Then he went back into his room and rested his body. Not forgetting he told Alana first that he had reached home.

After saying good-bye to her lover, he slowly closed his eyes and went wandering into his dreamland.
