Happy Reading's.

El walked towards the rooftop. He stood there looking at the beautiful scenery, forgetting everything he felt right now.
"I didn't expect that El's making this decision!", said someone from behind his back.
El knew whose voice it was. He prefers to keep quiet listening to it.
Ardi walked closer to the fence that became a barrier. He stood beside El. "Are you ready to bear the consequences?", asked Ardi to confirm.
"I reiterate once again Sir, me and Mr. Samuel are not bound by a bond of love. Whatever happens, I hope I can accept it".
"Including the loss of Mas Samuel?", asked Ardi looking at El.
El silent. He was more interested in seeing the scene before his eyes than the question of the person beside him.
"Mbak El can lose Mas Samuel, but will Mas Samuel take El with others?", Ardi asked. "I don't think so, because Mas Samuel really wants Mba El in his life. Mbak El know that the hotel in Bandung which was founded by mas Sam with a name Samnel, mbak El know what it means?. Does El still doubt Mas Sam's love?", asked Ardi in succession.
El closed his eyes swallowing the pain. He knows that Sam loves him very much, but will he be able to make peace with his parents Sam?. Will he get the blessing of his parents?. "Father does not understand my feelings!", said El while pointing to himself. "If the father is in my position, the father is more choosy, the honor of both parents or the ego of the father's own feelings?",asked El who felt his heart feel tight and finally the tears that he could bear spilled as well. "I know Sam loves me very much, I know Sam loves me very much. Is it enough just love and affection for our extended family?. No Sir. It's not that easy. Aunty Violla used to expect me to be her daughter-in-law, but now it's different sir. Not like before. They hate me now and maybe we won't be together again like we used to. If I could ask God again, I wouldn't know Sam in my life. But, why does destiny always bring me and Sam together, sir!", El revealed in tears. His heart felt tight and it was hard to put all this into words. Hiks...
Ardi's eyes glazed over to hear El's confession. He knew that his master was like this, desperate and hopeless.
"My heart is tormented Sir. Brother Edwan proposed to me, by force because of a threat. Then his brother Samuel proposed to me so many times he always failed in the middle of the road. And finally I chose to give up, it was the most appropriate and reasonable answer. Because our differences are so far apart, like heaven and earth, like oil and water that can never be fused!", El explained with mixed feelings.
"But, isn't it a difference that will bring us together!", said someone from the back.
El and Ardi looked back. Yes, there Sam stood gallantly in a casual t-shirt and jeans.
"Bush!". El swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.
"Until when El I have to wait again. Waiting..waiting. I'm tired El. I'm standing here now, waiting for your decision!", explains Sam.
"Why don't you just leave me alone?. I can't Sam. Until whenever I can't rival you. I'm tired, I'm really tired. Therefore, I will leave your life. You once left my life. Now, let me go with this decision of mine!", el explained the turmoil that was in his heart.
"Ok, if that's your decision. I'll leave you alone and go. And don't expect any more, we'll meet!", explains Sam who went straight from the face of El. His heart ached and tightened which would never heal. The person he loved and loved wholeheartedly chose to leave his side forever.
Ardi said his smile underestimated El's decision. "Congratulations El, now you are free to do whatever you want. And see you later, when there is time to say hello!", Ardi's cameraman who went also from before El.
El was on the floor. He saw Sam and Ardi leaving from before him. He wept and the rain fell on the earth soaked his tiny body. Maybe it was my right decision. Until whenever I can never reach out and appreciate it.

El entered his room. He saw Tamara packing, cleaning her things. He was cold while hugging his arm.
Tamara saw him immediately shocked, because El's clothes and body were soaked. "God... El, where are you going?", asked Tamara worriedly.
El hugged Tamara tightly. He currently needs someone who can hold him tightly because he is currently fragile.
"El...kamu why?", asked Tamara while calming her down.
"Now I have released him!", said El, sobbing. Hiks...
Tamara let go of her embrace. "You're serious?", asked Tamara inexplicably.
El replied with a nod.
"El..he loves you so much El!. You shouldn't be rash doing something like this!".
"I'm tired mbak. I want to move forward with my decision. I don't want to hurt my parents either. Because to me, they are my life" explains El. "And I don't want to depend on him!", El's determination is strong.
"I know the decision you made was very difficult. But, I believe that's best for you" Tamara said.
"May mbak".
Dret.... Dret.... Dret....
A message came in on Tamara and El's cell phone. They immediately opened it.
And...
They both looked up at the message. And they look at each other.
Sam and Ardi were walking in a restaurant. Ardi always followed the footsteps of his young master who walked one step behind his young master.
"How have you transferred, sir?", asked Sam.
"It's Sam. As per the nominal that Mas Sam mentioned earlier!", replied Ardi.
"Good Mas".

El and Tamara were sitting on the floor with a selonjoran in her room. They sat with their backs against each other.
"I didn't expect Ma'am, the severance pay was too big!", Tamara said limply.
The money has become the right of Mbak, because it has served several years here. Then my fate how, this money is too much for my ATM!", explained El. "And I can't take the money, because I'm just an apprentice student here. How is this, mbak, did I transfer again to this company's account?", asked El unsatisfied.
"I don't know El either. Maybe the only way you should ask Mr. Ardi, the new secretary of Mr. Bos!", suggested Tamara.
"Then I have to get in touch with them again. Is there no other way?".
Tamara shook her head. Don't know. "There is no El. The only way is that. Want and don't want you to have to relate to them again. Because they have the right to decide!", replied Tamara.
El then bent both his legs. Hugging both feet tightly to serve as a place to lean his head.
"I confused El, whether or not he was happy to accept the money. I am happy because soon my debts will be paid off and enough to pay for my sisters in school. And I'm not happy that I have to leave the office with a million good memories with friends and other teams. Including you El?", revealed Tamara changed the direction of her seat to be able to face the front of El. "You who are going to go continue your journey to reach your dreams and dreams and then leave this country. Then me, will I be able to join Pak Saga's company like this?", Tamara asked sadly.
El then held Tamara's two strong hands. "I'm sure Tamara will. Ms. Tamara is a very smart, smart and easy to get along with people. I'm very sure, Madam Tamara can certainly face it all. I am so grateful to know Ms. Tamara and I am so grateful to Ms. Tamara for teaching me so much experience about the world of work and the world that I have never imagined before. Thank you so much Ma'am Tamara?", said El in tears. She hugged Tamara tightly. "Hopefully I can meet again Tamara, if that's when!".
Tamara crying. He was so grateful to know El more deeply. He thinks of El as his sister. She still has two sisters who need school fees.

El is still waiting for an answer from Ardi. He had earlier sent a message regarding the money sent by Ardi.
"How, hasn't been answered?", asked Tamara who had cleaned up her files.
"Not yet. He must have intentionally not returned it. Because, surely they do not want to accept the money", according to El.
"Try me on the phone, use the office phone?", Tamara said.
"By Mbak!".
Tamara breaks down the numbers on the office phone button. Then connect with Ardi's number.
"Hallo. What's up?".
"Sir Ardi. There's something I need to clear up here!".
"God. What things are ya?. Isn't everything in order. And you have received severance pay from the office!", replied Ardi.
"Already Sir. I am so grateful, because of the nominal I never imagined!".
"That's your right Tamara. You deserve that. And is there anything else you ask?", asked Ardi before deciding on the conversation.
"There's Sir!", said Tamara quickly. "El wants to talk to you about something. Do you have time?", continued Tamara who immediately gave the phone to El because she did not want Ardi to immediately turn it off to hear the name El called.
El hesitantly accepted it. He put the phone on his ear. "Assynjetoyum!".
"Moskalamic. What else is it?", asked Ardi lazily. He did not want to mention El in his conversation. Since He had promised Sam, he would never mention the name El in any matter, whatever else was before him.
"Sir, I don't deserve this money. This money is too much for a freshman child who has interned for three months?", El revealed.
"That's your right. I just do my job with the company. Please accept and cooperate!", Ardi asserted.
"But Sir?".
Tut's... Tut's... Tut's... Tut's...
The phone connection was cut off by one side. El put the phone in its original place.
"It is in vain that I explain it to them. Whatever the reason, they will not take it for granted" said El Pasrah. "I'll transfer back to Sam's account. Named ana number!",ide El.
"As far as you are, El. That's your right" Tamara replied.
El then processes the shipment through a bank application. He sent the money that came in today to the account in Sam's name. And the process went smoothly without any signal interference.
The two of them immediately brought the equipment they had to take home. El paused for a moment, looked around the room and lastly stared at the door that read CEO's room. I'm happy Sam, to be able to work with you here. In the past, we always did assignments from school together at home and in cafes. Now we work together in the business world. May you grow successful and successful. I will always pray for you, Sam! inner El who rushed out from the tallest building in this company.
