Engelskraft: Love of Wasted Angels

The Hanging Feelings

While watching Siti at work tidying up the payment bonds, Ailey sat down sweetly without trying to peek at the computer screen in front of her. Even though curiosity controlled him, but he was not an employee of the Abram Electronics store anymore who could casually see the contents of the store computer.

“Your shift is done?” Ask Siti while typing the amount listed on the bon.

“Not yet. I'm a moment's permission because you said that Kevin has a schedule to visit the store today.” Answer Ailey.

“Repot once your romance. You just need to call her to see when she comes. No need to wait here.” Said.

“Have it, anyway. But my phone he didn't pick up. The message I sent was a long time ago reply.”

“Tumben once. Isn't that CEO passionate about you?” Siti continued to ask.

“Entahlah. Something seems to have changed.” Ailey.

Not long after their conversation, Kevin is seen entering the store with a shocked look at Ailey's presence. His feet wanted to turn and go from there but it would make him clear that he was away from the woman.

Ailey got up from her seat without saying a word. His eyes were straight at the man with a sad look. The two of them stood still without approaching each other. Siti who felt awkwardness at that moment finally chose to step aside and let the two people talk.

“You... not working?” Ask Kevin.

“I'm a minute's permission to see you.” Answer Ailey.

They both went back to silence. Not knowing what to start the conversation like, Kevin took another direction to look around the condition of the store.

“Kevin.” Call Ailey to realize the man is avoiding her. “What happened to us?” Further asked.

The man turned his body without answering. However, his steps came to a halt as if someone was holding him back from staying there.

“If anything disturbs your mind, you can talk about it with me.” Ailey said softly.

“Nothing I should talk about at this time.” Kevin said without looking.

“Then I have to how to face you?” Ask the woman.

Kevin was still standing. He let out a long sigh, “Sorry.” Then he walked away from there without leaving any answers.

Ailey's eyes are glazed. The desire to pursue the CEO was huge, but somehow his legs would not comply. He could only be speechless watching Kevin's back slowly move away from his sight.

The rain is pouring down on Jakarta. The smell of wet soil pokes up to the sense of smell. The sound of the city bus exhaust with the sound of splashing water that accompanied the pain Ailey felt. The woman sat at the bus stop while hiding her cries with her hair draped on the side of her face. His head lowered to try to calm his aching heart. For him, a clear rejection would be better than guessing because of a hanging feeling.

“It turns out you're here. I thought you were ditching where.” Milo's voice came closer.

The human angel sat next to Ailey, looking at the endless rain. He watched the grief from the fragile woman's shoulders. She knew Ailey was crying, even though the rustling sound of rain disguised her affection.

“I'll go if you don't want to be disturbed.” Said.

“Do not! Stay here.” Reply Ailey with a trembling voice.

The words made Ailey even more unable to stem her cries. Still with his head lowered, he cried sobbing as if racing with the sound of rain falling. Perih felt in his heart came out spontaneously through each circle of tears that dripped.

Milo sat patiently waiting for the crying to stop. He leaned his back backwards while listening to the roaring cry from the woman's mouth. In fact, he wanted to tell Ailey about what Kevin was going through so that his attitude changed. But, she did not know how to convey it properly without hurting Ailey's heart.

The rain drops started to stop. Followed by the afternoon sky that emits a beautiful orange color. The cold of the night wind began to blow and felt piercing the skin as if trying to sweep away the sadness that Ailey felt.

“Have it done?” Milo asked, looking at Ailey who was starting to calm down.

“Iya. Thank you, yes for accompanying me.” He answered while rubbing his face that was still swollen with tears.

“If I may give you advice, sometimes we do not know what others are going through. Unfortunately, a narrow human mindset tends to judge what appears on the outside. Maybe there are things that he cannot say. So, it never hurts to take a pause and give time to Kevin.” Milo said wisely.

Ailey turned to look at the angel who looked timid in giving her advice. Peace covers the entire body of the woman to make her smile. Glassy eyes began to sparkle.

“Honey once, yes you are an angel. If not, maybe I'll smitten you.” Ailey.

Those words made Milo's face blush. He straightened his body that had been leaning leisurely from earlier. While pretending to stretch the muscles all over his body, Milo hid a joyful feeling after hearing the remark from Ailey.

“As an angel, I resigned with your refusal. How could I compete with that human CEO.” The sok cool.

“Ah, you are very sensitive. Don't put it in the heart!” Tempt Ailey while elbowing Milo's arm.

“Already, I regret accompanying you.”

“Angel, kok. Don't sulk, dong!” Ailey.

“Do not hesitate to your boss! It's a good thing I didn't fire you for skipping work today.” Reply Milo.

“Very well! I'm still traumatized, you know with my dismissal case a few months ago.” Timpal Ailey has cornered Milo.

“I kept on being wrong. Women are always right.” Milo said annoyed.

They both laughed loudly at each other listening to each other's flirting somewhat with each other. Accompanied by the sun slowly closing itself, the feeling of a scolding on Ailey began to be knocked out and forgotten. Perhaps it is appropriate that Milo is referred to as his guardian angel. He was always there at any moment and was able to lighten the burden Ailey was carrying.

“Milo, never leave me, yes!” Ailey.

“What are you talking about, anyway? One day I have to go back to heaven.” The answer.

“Cannot! I will pray to God that he will always give you a task related to me. So, you won't be able to go back to heaven.” Ailey said excitedly.

“As of you only.” Milo blushed in embarrassment.

They left the bus stop and left the crowded place. The footsteps of those who came home from work began to enliven the atmosphere. One by one the street lights began to glow driving away the darkness. Just like the presence of Milo who was able to drive away the sadness from Ailey's heart.
