El was stunned to see the phone screen.56 missed calls.
"Campus me!", said El limp. Then he immediately contacted Mother's number.
Tut's... Tut's... Tut's... Tut's....
Not lifted up anyway! el complains while looking at the phone screen. Come Mother, please lift! Pinta El repeatedly walked back and forth.
"Assalamualaikum!", greet Mother.
Relieved. Finally, she picked up the phone from him. "Walaikumsalam Mother. Mommy's asleep?", asked El not well.
"Mother just went to the bathroom. Mother disappointed El with you!", answered Mother coldly.
"Mother must have seen the news?. El is really sorry, Mother. El did not mean to hurt my mother!", said El weakly, the tears that he could not stand anymore.
"But your mother's heart is already sick El. Yesterday Aunt Violla called my mother, I was shocked because you and Sam were acting again. What do you want, baby?. Why are you and Sam against Sam and Laura's engagement?", Mother asked in disappointment.
El sobbed. He closed his mouth so that the Mother would not hear him. "Mother, please listen to El first?" said El.
"Mother heard it yesterday from Aunt Violla. Even Aunt Violla explained in detail!", continued Mother.
"Mother doesn't believe in El?", asked El in a trembling tone.
"Darling, mother raised you lovingly. Mother and father love their children so much that later mother and father are no longer beside him. One day you will also feel like a parent, what if our children become rebellious children?. What are you going to do, dear?", said Mother.
El shook his head a few times. His heart was broken and his mother and father were disappointed. "I'm sorry El, Mother. El regretted it. El does not want to be a rebellious child. El please, forgive El, mother?", please El while sobbing.
"It's not love, El. It's just an obsession. If Sam really loves you so much, he'll look after you until he's really ready to be your husband. At the time you were proposed by Sam, Mom agreed. But, this time Mother is really very disappointed with your decision. Because neither Sam nor Edwan kept their promises for a more serious stage!", explained Mother.
El only sobbed regretting the mistakes and decisions he made. He really regretted that. "Yes mother. El understand. El will leave Sam for the umpteenth time!", said El firmly.
"Mother does not want if you get married, you do not get the blessing of both your parents and your in-laws. Rest is a sincere prayer from the heart. Which can't be paid for with anything".
"Yes Mother, El understood. Forgive El, mother?", please El.
"Yes already, it's night. Mother wants to rest first!. Assalamualaikum!", Mother's camel immediately turned off her phone unilaterally.
El limp, he fell down next to the chair on the balcony. He did not expect that his actions last night left both his parents hurt and disappointed at the decision taken.
Saga who was standing next to the wall felt his heart hurt. He saw El crying for the umpteenth time just because Sam made a decision that had a negative impact on El. If you knew El, your heart would be broken to see you cry like this. If you knew too, I would still expect you to be mine. But, I won't get that chance because your heart belongs to only one Sam.
Suddenly the door of the living room room opened indicating someone would come out. Saga immediately hid so as not to be discovered. Sam came out of the guest room, still wearing a gray pajama. He walked towards the kitchen.
Saga soon found another guest room to perform the worship service.
Sam sees Yasmine who is busy cooking. He immediately sat in the pantry while pouring water. "Where's EL?. Tumben he didn't cook?", asked Sam without further ado.
Yasmine glanced at a glance. "Eh Brother Sam, Brother El was calling his mother on the balcony!", replied Yasmine.
Sam immediately gulped down some water and looked for El's whereabouts. Because he missed her. He found El sitting down on the floor who had no idea what to do. "El..!", call Sam gently.
El silently did not reply, he still lowered his head on the chair.
"El... El... El.!", call Sam several times, but El is still silent. "Are you all right?", he added. He patted El on the shoulder to let El respond.
But El brushed it off violently. He looked at Sam's eyes sharply. "Now you are content to break my family's heart!", El said in a high tone. It has completely lost its direction and purpose.
Sam was stunned to hear El's words. "You crying?", asked Sam who saw El's cheek was still wet. He sits crouching trying to wipe away El's tears, but his hands are always pushed aside by El.
"What do you mean, El?. Looks like last night we were still fine!", great-grandson Sam.
"Last night, not now!. Now that mom and dad are mad at me, do you dare to take responsibility with all this. Because of the press conference yesterday, they were disappointed with me. You're satisfied now, Sam!", snapped El mad. Her tears shed no stop.
"We can talk about this very well, El!", bargained Sam.
El stood right in front of Sam. "Well do you mean how?. They've been disappointed what we made, what do you want now!. Because of our selfishness, our parents are disappointed with us!. If time could I turn around Sam, I wouldn't know you at all!", said El with anger that was out of control.
"What!. El, can we talk about this with a cool head?", please Sam.
"Can't be Sam. Because my parents' hearts were broken, my heart was more broken listening to that!. Listening that it turns out that you and I will never be one level, I am always below your level!", El said in tears. Then he left Sam but just a few steps El stopped. "Better, we broke up!. Since I can't be with you anymore!", said El while putting the engagement ring on the table by the window.
Sam was surprised by El's statement, so easily did El say the word break up. He just saw El getting away from his sight. Is this what you call pain but not bleeding?.
Dony, Raina, Tamara, Saga and Yasmine are stunned to see their quarrel suddenly.They see Sam rubbing his face violently.
El went into his room. He leaned against the door of his room crying, and he sat down, lamenting his fate. Hix... Hix... Hix...
Sam rubbed his face violently, frustrated at the sudden change in El's attitude. Last night he still loved each other, but this morning his attitude was much different than before. "Ih..!", cried Sam angrily.
Dony wants to calm Sam's heart but is prevented by Saga. "Let him alone first, Don!. He needs time!" said Saga.
Dony stopped his steps. True said Saga, maybe Sam is in need of time.
"Well, we better clean our bodies first!. We'll talk later in the living room!", ask Raina.
"Good tea", they answered compactly.

Sam got out of the apartment. He wanted to find fresh air while running small to clear his mind so as not to be too stressed thinking about the cold attitude El. He imagined the incident this morning after he came from the balcony, he passed El but El did not answer his greeting. What made you change so dramatically like this, El?. Did I do you wrong. Isn't making a press conference yesterday the best solution for our relationship, but why is our relationship even destroyed like this?.
Raina, Yasmine, Tamara, Saga and El have just exited the apartment building.
Sam immediately approached the five of them. "Where are you going?", asked Sam, trying to be okay.
"We're going shopping first, Sam. Make the gift at home. You didn't come?", asked Raina.
Sam immediately turned his attention to El who crossed his arms in front of his chest. He saw Sam indifferently. He breathed a rough breath. "No need for tea. You see, there are important things that must be resolved immediately!", replied Sam who did not turn his attention to El.
Dony who was driving directly stopped in front of the apartment building.
"Well, we go shopping first?. Don't forget, later tonight we have returned to the homeland?", said Raina.
"Good tea. I'll be in the apartment later tonight!. Have fun tea and everything!", said Sam with a smile that made sweet even though his heart is now being destroyed.
The five of them entered one by one.
"We go first, Sam!", pamit Dony.
"Yes Don. Careful huh?".
"OK, ready. Assalamualaikum!".
"Walaikumsalam!", replied Sam who saw the car Dony was driving lost from view. He immediately contacted someone.
El rested his back while putting a headset in his ear listening to a song.
(Soundtrack song : What if I'm not fine By Judika).

In one of New York's most famous urban centers is the city of a million famous brands, they shop with joy. El who from the beginning only spent daydreaming and not focused on the purpose of today.
"You haven't been shopping?", asked Saga to make sure that El was okay.
"Not Brother. Nothing is suitable yet!", answered El confused.
"El, I know it's hard for you. But, you have to continue your life as before. I don't want to see you like this, lost direction and purpose" Saga said. They walk in tandem. Saga put both hands in his jacket pocket.
"I really want to be alone first, Brother, calm my mind. But, I have a promise that Dony will take them to the airport. I can't waste them when they're here".
"This means all the burdens for you!".
"No, it's not a burden to me. What makes me carry such a heavy burden is my current relationship with Sam. I had to figure out how to, I decided this was all with Sam. I was really shocked to hear Mother disappointed with me. Mother and father, really even very disappointed with me. I can't be like this, brother?. What should I do?" said El sobbing.
"I thought after you guys had a press conference your relationship would last, but the reality was inversely proportional to my expectations. I realized, Sam has everything but can he live without you?", asked Saga.
"Must be able, brother. I spent a few years without Sam, the proof, he and I" answered El lying when his heart always called Samuel by name.
"El, is this too soon you cut off your relationship with Sam. You only told me last night the good news about your relationship, but in the morning you have to fight like this?" said Saga.
"I no longer have a path. My way, dead end. The only way is my relationship with Sam" El explained. "I'll live my own life again without him. If I hadn't been bound by a KKN contract at Sam's company, I could have just left the company. But I have to live less than two weeks. I can't stand to see Sam in front of me anymore!", he said.
Saga stops beside El and El follows her. He holds both shoulders of El to ensure that he can run this KKN. "I'm sure, you're strong El. I will always be there for you. Whenever you need me, I will always be there for you!", Saga said, looking into El's eyes.
El looked at both of Saga's eyes doubtfully. He knew that Saga was the one who was always there for him.
On the other hand there is someone who is photographing several times Saga and El activities. He wears a black jacket, hat and sunglasses. That guy is very mysterious.
