Evelyn's Regret

The Forty Four

"You're serious Eve? please don't be crazy Eve. I really did not end up thinking the same decision you think does not make sense at all" Satria could not cover her disappointment when Eve decided to stay longer in this city. They were supposed to come back today, but Eve refused.

"I still miss my mom. I've been gone for three years. It is impossible that my longing for my mother will be treated in just 1 week. I want to stay here longer to make up for my longing for her."

"Eve by talking like that you seem to think of me as an innocent child. I know that's not the main reason you're staying here Eve. I know because of Noah, right?" Satria smiled and looked cynically at Evelyn.

Whatever the reason Eve felt Satria did not need to interfere too far. But to say his Eve did not until the heart remembered Satria had been so good to him all this time.

"Why shut up, didn't I, Ve?"

"As far as you are Sat. I won't make you believe my words" Eve replied subtly

"So how's your stall going Ve? come on, continue your new life Eve. Don't keep pushing the past"

"The stall so far is safe. I asked Vera to make a report every day. He's honest with his people. Sorry Sat, about my life I have the right to set my own course"

Satria exhaled violently. Tired of facing Evelyn who never let go of him.

"Is there really no chance for me Eve?" Satria's voice weakened.

"I can only live a relationship limited to the friendship of Sat, Sorry. I can only continue to pray for your happiness, open your heart to others Sat" Evelyn stared softly at the increasingly disappointed Satria.

"Okay Eve, I hope your decision is right. I'm going"

Satria stepped without looking at Evelyn who could not be seen the man's departure.

"I'm sorry Satria" Lirih Evelyn.

"As far and as long as you go, your love is only for Noah. So now when you fight for Noah's heart, Eve's back when she gets the chance. There's no other choice, in fact your heart just wants him." Aira's words returned. Well Eve contacted her best friend when she felt troubled after reading a letter from Shahira and Noah's treatment that made her uncertain.

"You must heal Noah Eve, it never hurts to lower your ego. Not always the women who are fighting. But I won't make sense, because your heart knows exactly what it wants"

Evelyn confirmed Aira's speech. In fact, no matter how hard he tried Noah's position in his heart he could never replace with anyone. He must stop all the pain he creates.

"Yes Ra, I will fight for Brother Noah. I'll win her heart back."

"Eve's spirit, you must be happy. There must be an end to ignorance and misunderstandings that have dragged on for too long."

Evelyn is determined to resolve all these wounds, as Aira says she and Noah must be happy.

***

Noah stared at his laptop screen. He tried to focus on completing his work even though his heart was riled up. Earlier this morning he had met Satria, the man said goodbye to him to return. Satria also said that he and Evelyn would return to city X today.

Last night Eve said nothing about her return, even this morning when she left for the office and Evelyn was still with Cilla no words said goodbye from Evelyn's lips.

Noah squeezed his hair, he couldn't work quietly. But the phone's voice distracts her. The name of the mother is on the screen. Noah's heart was riled back, maybe Cilla was crying because left by Eve

"Why is it?"

Sure enough, Cilla's cry was heard across the phone.

"Cilla nyari Eve son, Eve said that she was out with Satria when Cilla was fun again playing and until now has not returned. My phone is not active." My mom looks panicked.

"Ma, calm down. Don't call Evelyn, don't make Cilla depend on her. Eve has a life of her own. We can't always Eve involved in Cilla's business, Noah will be home okay"

After a 30-minute journey Noah arrived at his home. He got out of his car and immediately got into the house. The atmosphere looked silent, no longer heard Cilla's cry.

"Where's cilla ma?" Noah asked when he saw his mother walking towards him.

"Cilla wants to be stuck in the room again" said her mother with a smile. Noah walked to Cilla's room without asking her. Noah's forehead wrinkled when he saw babby sitter Cilla was cleaning toys in the Cilla playroom next to his baby's room.

"Cilla uda sleeping mbak?"

Ask Noah

"I think uda sir" although astonished but Noah chose not to extend his question. He immediately turned the door handle.

"Eve?" Noah stared in wonder at the sleeping figure while rubbing the sleeping head of Cilla in his arms.

"Sst" Evelyn placed an index finger on her lips giving a code so that Noah did not make a sound because Cilla had just closed her eyes.

Noah nodded and chose to sit on the sofa located in his daughter's room. The man looked at Eve who was creating a comfortable sleeping atmosphere for Cilla.

After feeling Cilla was already sound, Evelyn released her arm which became the pillow of Cilla's head slowly. The little girl moved in search of her comfort, Evelyn patted Cilla's back gently until she went back to sleep quietly.

"Sister why are you coming home?" Evelyn approached Noah.

"So mama's phone said Cilla was crying. That's why I quickly went home. Oh yeah Eve, we're talking outside" Noah stepped up from his seat after getting approval from Evelyn.

"So I met Satria, she said you guys came home today." Noah said after they sat in the living room.

"She should be home today. But I decided to stay longer. I still miss mama."

Noah looked at Evelyn.

"Correctly because of your mother? not because of Cilla?" Noah asked with a probing look.

"Because Cilla is too. I don't have to leave him"

"That's absolutely nothing to bother me, I'm happy to be able to do this for Cilla" Evelyn cut in quickly before Noah protested her decision.

"But Eve, how are you working there? how long will Cilla hinder your move?"

"Cilla didn't hinder me, brother. I like to do this. My job is also uda in the same hand right hand. Well it's a matter of leave after three years of my work" Evelyn replied casually.

"Don't you mind my decision?"

"No, I just don't want you to sacrifice your future for Cilla" Noah replied.

"It's not just for Cilla's sake, but for ours"

Inner Evelyn.

"Oh yes brother, I can't stay in the inn any longer. While my house is still on lease until the end of the month. So for the next 2 weeks permission I make a scene here" said Evelyn, although looking embarrassed but Evelyn tried to suppress it.

"Of course it can be Evelyn. You sacrificed a lot for Cilla. Whatever you ask I will try to fulfill it"

"Thank you sister" Evelyn smiled sweetly, leaving Noah stunned. Why did it feel like for so long he couldn't enjoy Evelyn's smile like this.
