Engelskraft: Love of Wasted Angels

Responsibilities

“He spent the night in your contract??!” Siti screamed hysterically.

Ailey, who heard his friend's response, lowered her head and hid her face with her hair down. The canteen of Abram City Mall spontaneously turned to the two women who were busy chatting.

“Then what happened in the room?” Tanya Siti whispered as she realized her voice was too jarring.

“Nothing. Don't think of anything!” Answer Ailey shyly.

“Then after that, did he return home?”

“It appears he's dropping by. Last time I left for work, he told me he would settle in a temporary apartment near here.” Unmistakably.

“Pelik once the life of the rich. I think he's having a feud with his parents over his relationship with you.” Siti.

“Great once you can guess correctly!” Praise Ailey.

“Seeing you like this really makes me relieved. You're back at work and it seems that your relationship is starting to improve with Mr. Kevin, so you shouldn't have to think too far. The important thing is to keep the spirit! I don't want to see you moody anymore.”

“Yes, thank you Siti!” Reply Ailey with a smile.

Lunch time is running out. Ailey immediately prepares to return to the cafe. But the most important part is that Milo will make a visit in the afternoon. Somehow, he should be able to act professionally in front of Milo.

***

Milo relaxes in the outdoor cafe like he used to do routine. Ever since he came back, he and Ailey have not said a word. That obviously made Ailey more relieved that there was no need to make small talk with her. However, he still remembered Milo's message asking him to speak when he returned to work.

While stealing a glance at Milo, Ailey's chest hurts due to the reality behind her rape case. But he was also curious about the further explanation of Milo. Feeling noticed, Milo returned the woman's gaze and gave her friendly smile. Then he told Ailey to go to him.

Slowly, Ailey approached Milo who was sitting down casually. The closer he got, the more his emotions overflowed as if he wanted to beat up the angel with his small hands.

“Sit here. I know you still can't forgive me. Let's talk.” Take Milo while offering an empty seat next to him.

Ailey took the chair and sat down with a feeling of unease. He was also unable to stare at Milo's face without causing resentment.

“Before thank you for returning to work. Ferdi and Mario are overwhelmed in your absence.” Said Milo.

“I... I'm the one apologizing for ditching.” Reply Ailey with her forced apology for still seeing Milo as her superior.

“It's okay. I-i understand. So...” Milo gives a pause, “So, in connection with the thing that happened to you first. I'm really sorry.” He continued, bending his body until his head almost touched the table.

Ailey was shocked because she had never seen Milo apologize to such a bow. His hands trembled, at a time like this he wanted to curse at the angel who was lowering his pride.

“As a fallen angel who intends to corrupt the man of his creation, it is one of my duties to incite man and cultivate hatred for one another. But I really regret that I did. I've returned to the road My Lord.” Evidently.

“Your explanation still doesn't change anything. You know, because of what you did, I had to fight HIV by taking medicine for life! While you are free to travel the world just by flapping your wings. You think this is fair to me?” Reply Ailey by keeping the volume of her voice from attracting too much attention.

“Ailey, precisely because I have sinned so much against you that I was sent into the world to help your life. Seeing you every day is a punishment for me because it keeps reminding me of the sins I committed. It is also not easy.” Milo lifted his face and looked at Ailey with teary eyes.

“I'm sorry. I'll atone for my sins.” Connect Milo.

“I have to get back to work. Thanks for the explanation.” Ailey's reply avoided further conversation.

Ailey leaves Milo, who is still sitting with a red face. It seemed that the woman was still hardened even though the angel had shown sincerity at her apology.

While walking towards the bar table, Ailey saw the figure of Lina who was standing facing her. Sipping bitter coffee in his hand, he smiled at the waiter.

“How are you doing?” Sapa Lina cynical.

“Good news. Can I help you?” Ask Ailey how she is.

“You are not ashamed of having aggravated Kevin's family relationship?” Lina said in confrontation.

“Sorry, I'm busy working.” Reply Ailey did not want to give a response.

Lina clasped Ailey's arm firmly trying to hold her back from leaving. Anger emanated from the two eyes of the woman.

“Kevin left home because of you, ‘kan? You know what you did?”

Ailey was stunned to see Lina who looked angry and panicked. His breathing sounded irregular as if showing the unrest in his heart. Ailey who knew nothing just looked at him in wonder.

“Dad Kevin is currently rushed to the hospital. His health deteriorated after Kevin did not return home.” Lina.

As if struck by lightning, Ailey gasped at the unpleasant news. Her hands trembled until her tremors could be felt by Lina who was holding her tightly. Worries cover him.

“What about Kevin? Does he know this?” Ask Ailey worried.

“Of course, he is currently in the hospital accompanying his father.”

“I... I have to get there.” Ailey said.

“Cannot! Your presence will only make matters worse.” Lina strengthened her grasp.

“Let go of me!”

“Truly women don't know themselves! It's enough you make complicated things!” Firm Lina.

Ailey threw Lina's hand. While looking at her in annoyance, Ailey tidied up her disheveled sleeves due to the actions of the Marliani family's eldest son.

“I'll never leave Kevin again. If indeed I was the cause of all this, I would have solved it.” Ailey said with great determination.

After saying so, Ailey left Lina who was still standing in a fit of irritation. A thousand footstep he launched to meet Kevin and his father. He feels he is fully responsible for Kevin's father's condition and the fracturing of the father-son relationship. While running, Ailey prays earnestly that God can give Kevin's father salvation and a way out of the problems that occur in their family.
