Echoes In My Heart

Unburdened

Half an hour drive, Alana arrived in front of her house, she put her car in the garage and immediately opened the door of her house that looks luxurious. Alana approached her mother, Mama Anne, who was cooking in the kitchen for dinner together later because her father and brother were about to arrive home.

“Alana home Ma,” greet Alana while kissing her mother's cheek.

“You're home, son. Emm, the smell of acem, take a quick shower there,” seductive mother pretends to sniff Alana's body which actually does not smell. “Ihh Mama, what the hell, habits deh. Alana to the room first. Want to take a shower so not in acem again”. Alana immediately ran upstairs because her room was on the 2nd floor. He put his bag on the bed and immediately went into the bathroom. A moment later he came out with his kimono towel and immediately changed his clothes. He went downstairs to help his mother prepare dinner. It turned out that his father and brother had arrived and they immediately ate together, occasionally asking each other for news because this week did not meet.

After dinner, Alana returned to the room to relax her slightly tired body. He got into his bed and opened his cell phone to check if there were incoming messages from his friends who were still abroad. Suddenly Alana remembered Bobby who called her this afternoon. Not feeling claustrophobic considering Bobby's behavior during dating him, not only information from his friends that he got. He also repeatedly caught Bobby with other women while abroad, but Alana is still tough to face Bobby. Alana had hoped that Bobby was a good man and loyal to one woman, but Alana's hopes were shattered when she saw the bad behavior of Bobby that she covered with his handsome look and sweet mouth. And at the time of wanting to end his relationship with Bobby, Bobby suddenly disappeared without news for two months. And this afternoon was a miracle, Alana thought. Bobby contacted him first, and did not have to wait any longer Alana used the opportunity to vent the emotions that he had been craving. The opportunity he was waiting for to break his relationship that he could not continue. Alana felt a relief in her heart, the burden she had been carrying off all by herself. Shortly thereafter, he fell asleep in his sleep.

The sun began to reveal his face, his light forcing its way through the curtains of Alana's room. Instantly Alana realizes that morning has come, making her wake up from her beautiful dream. Alana immediately got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. Half an hour later, he came out of the bathroom, changed his clothes and put on a little makeup with not too much makeup. He immediately went out of the room to the dining room to have breakfast with his family.

“Good morning everyone,” Alana greets her father and mother. He realized there was something lacking at the table, invisible to the brother, apparently Alka had indeed left the office early in the morning.

“Beauty's morning. No need to nyari Alka, she had left this morning, so early in the morning,” said her father.

“Why Kak Alka leaves once a morning Pa?”

“You don't know your brother, he stopped by to pick up Meta. He said kangen had not met for a week,” said his mother.

“Hmmm, yes too. Mana hold him, do not meet a day like a hundred years,” joked Alana while spooning food to her mouth. His father and mother smiled confirming Alana's statement.

Alana left for the office first, because her father still wanted to relax at home because he was still tired of his work for a week outside the city. He drove his car slowly because he still wanted to enjoy the beauty of the city of Bandung in the morning.

*In the echo house

This morning the echo felt unwell, and her body temperature was hot. As he woke up the pain on his stomach was unbearable. He felt his ulcer disease was relapsing because lately he was busy with a lot of work in the office. Echoes go to the kitchen to get drinking water. The mother was surprised to see Gema's face pale and her body was so limp.

“You're sick Nak?” asked his mother while sticking his palm to Gema's forehead. His mother surprised the body of the hot echo.

“Gema is not feeling well Mom. Echoes are okay. After eating and taking the medicine, it will improve. Maybe Echoes are often late to eat, a lot of work in the office,” said Gema lethargic.

“Pardon Echoes Mom, Echoes do not pay attention to the health of Echoes. After eating, Gema will ask Mr. Asep permission not to enter today aja.” Mother assented. Then his mother immediately took rice, vegetables and side dishes for Gema and after eating Gema took medicine and returned to the room. He took his cell phone at a table near the bed and called Mr. Asep for permission because he was sick today.

“Good morning Echo, what are you calling early in the morning?” ask Mr. Asep from across the street.

“Good morning Mr. Asep. Today I do not enter sir, I am not feeling well,” obviously Gema and he got approval from Mr. Asep. I thanked him and hung up the phone.

Echoes put his phone back on the table close to his bed. He stretched out his body and enjoyed the pain in his stomach. Echoes closed for a moment then he heard the sound of knocking on the door from the front repeatedly. But his mother did not open it, with a body that was empty Echoes moved from his bed. Echoes looking for his mother in the room but nothing, neither in the kitchen. “Maybe mom went to the market near home,” murmured Echoes in her heart.

Tok.dok.. (Not the sound of the meatball brother, but the sound of people knocking on the door. Hehe).

Echoes round his eyes when Rani finds herself at the door of his house. He seemed to be very worried about the state of the echo. He brought chicken porridge and some medicine for him.

“Rani!!” exclaim Echoes still standing in front of the door.

“Hai mas the handsome Gemaku. Rani was shocked earlier Papa said you were sick, I came straight here to see how you are. Where does it hurt? Huh?” ask Rani in a row while touching the face Echoes start forehead, cheeks, neck and arms Echoes. Gema felt uneasy with Rani's excessive treatment like that. Echoes dodge and let Rani sit on the porch chair of her home.

“You don't have to bother here bring food and medicine Ran, I've eaten and taken medicine earlier. This I have also improved and will definitely recover (of course after you come home from here Ran, Inner Echoes). I want to rest now, so that tomorrow I can go to work again. There are still a lot of things I haven't done in the office. Thank you for going all the way to look at me,” said Echo lazily and still endure the pain.

“Lho, lho mas Echoes. I still want to keep you here, let you get well.” Rani Ngeyel won't be coming home. (If you are still here instead of healing, my pain will get worse, Echoes continue to mutter in the heart).

“I want to rest Ran, so that tomorrow can enter work. If you don't come in again later you can't see me right.” Echoes convince Rani to go home soon and Rani complies with her slightly disappointed face.

“Alright mas Gema, I go home first yes so you can rest. Get well so I can see you again tomorrow. Rani pamit ya mas, do not forget the porridge is eaten and the medicine is drunk.” Echoes assent and immediately closes the door. (Finally he came home too, I better go back to the room).

Not having time to step foot, suddenly someone knocked on the door again. Echoes think that Rani is back again, then Echoes turn around and immediately opens the door.

“What else is Ran???” Echoes surprised turns out not Rani who came again.
