Half A Heart's
Chapter 12's



"Congratulations Calley! may your marriage be good," - Mother


Evan threw torn bread into his mouth, his view could not be separated from the performance of musical poetry displayed by the students of class XII. Fiersa Besari's musical 'For you' caught his attention. His friends are busy preparing for their class performance in the preparation room only Evan and Riski are sitting casually in the audience row.


"Lo, why don't you come with Van?" tanya Riski opened her voice.


"Gue doesn't like to be watched by many people" answered the sacred Evan.


Riski nodded in agreement with Evan's words, they went back to watching the pension performance solemnly. When Evan was busy watching, his gaze was diverted to the right side of the stage, there Adit with other organizers chatted with kidul while laughing. All pension organizers are marked by wearing a white hat that says 'Crew' and wearing a bet name whose rope is also white.


"Okay guys, I'm gonna play More Than This from One Direction, hope you enjoy it!" acoustic guitar quotes began, hearing the word 'One Direction' makes Evan remember Shila. But already half the song goes Evan has not yet found its existence. Evan swiggled around, he didn't find Shila at all. He was sure that this appearance must have been very much awaited.


"Gue lives first Ki," Evan pats Riski on the shoulder and leaves. He left the audience and began to pierce the small bazars that stood behind the audience. Who knows, Shila's there.


"Sister!" sergeant is a student who seems to be his underclassman.


"Can I take a picture with my sister?" asked the girl, she seemed to be one of the dozens of Evan fans.


Evan scratched his head hump awkwardly, as he himself was in a hurry to find Shila.


"Can't you, brother? pliss," beg the woman again.


"sorry. Next time, yes" replied Evan, forcing him to smile.


Evan again traced the area near the stage, starting from the ball room, preparation room and some bazaars he did not visit also found Shila.


"Where is he?" Evan scratched his head, after all why was he so eager to look for Shila?


As Evan turned his back towards the front of the baazar, his steps came to a halt seeing the two people he already knew so well. Adit and Shila.


"Oh, you cry Shil?" tanya Adit bowed his body to Shila's face. Evan smiled slantedly growing a regret in his heart.


***


The holidays began, this morning Evan intends to jog around the house complex while occasionally pampering his eyes to see the complex atmosphere that is very soothing view . There are some of his neighbors who also jog, unfortunately, not many of them are known Evan.


When Evan arrives at the compound where he and Shila meet, Evan chooses to take a break to stretch his body.


"Gat!" call Shila suddenly who seems to be jogging as well.


Evan smiled and hung up his phone.


"Lo jogging too?" shila asked and sat down beside Evan.


Evan nodded.


"Well, where's Shil? I think we're a complex."


"From here you go straight, then turn right. Anyway it's just my house that has sunflowers in front of the house."


"Not too far from the park."


"Ckckck, lo the distant jogging Van."


"Don't you come to my house?" bargain Shila to him.


With doubt Evan shook his head.


"It doesn't matter sometimes, does it? It's my friend, "again shila.


Finally Evan agrees to Shila's invitation, they walk hand in hand towards Shila's house and the two are reluctant to start the conversation. Shila looks relaxed while listening to a song from her headset, while Evan tries to steal a look at Shila.


"Lo was quite close too, Shil, with Adit," said Evan suddenly made Shila stop walking.


"Yes, it's been a long time. But we're doing it" replied Shila trying to calm down.


"Yesterday in retirement, I saw you with him."


Shila changed position to face Evan waiting for Evan's next words.


"Gue wanted to nyamperin you at that time, would say if there was an appearance from your favorite band."


"One Direction you mean? More Than This, right?" shila asked still laughing. Evan nodded.


"When the performance of my favorite band, Adit called me. But because it's not surprising that he finally mengyamperin me," explained Shila honestly.


Finally they arrived in front of Shila's house. The shape of the house is not much different from the house of Mother and Father, looks minimalist. There are parked Pajero Sport car and two honda matic. And do not forget, sunflowers thrive in the yard of Shila's house. It makes her home look a little different from her neighbors.


"Well in!" take Shila to Evan.


"Gue here deh Shil," Evan refused.


"Well, what do you want to drink?"


"Any white water," Shila passed into the house and immediately took water for Evan.


"Lo how many brothers Van?" shila asked after she finished bringing Evan water.


"Gue is an only child" answered Evan and began to drink his water, from earlier he was also thirsty.


"Who do you take to the minimarket?" shila asked increasingly confused, all this time Shila did not know the ins and outs of the Evan family. Evan was silent for a while and went back to drinking his water.


"Gue here lives with Mama Shil's late sister, Papa I work out of town" Evan replied briefly.


"Sorry Van, I don't mean," Shila felt guilty asking what might hurt her.


"It's just relaxing."


Suddenly Evan's phone rang, he reached into his pants pocket and raised the incoming call.


"Gue go home first Shil, Papa's coming."


***


Papa hugged Evan while stroking the head of the only child, had not seen his son in person for a long time, their relationship is quite improved now.


"You're good Van, Papa's proud," said Papa, patting Evan on the shoulder, smiling. Papa's face looks like it is lacking due to the black bags under his eyes.


"Yaudah, now get your clothes ready we'll go home."


Evan asks himself to spend time with Papa, he wants to change his attitude in front of Papa and bury his old grudge. In fact, it was not Papa who made Mama die, but it was God's line who said so. Evan has to accept it.


Two weeks of vacation is the right time to have fun with Papa, Evan also misses the state of his home that he has not lived in for a long time. Papa also plans to return to Ireland this time, manatahu abroad can make his brain a little more fresh after the flexibility to face his first UAS yesterday


When Evan wanted to go down the stairs, a little Papa talk with Mother and Father sounded.


"Do'll go well, Dian, Nug. I've been thinking about this plan for a long time."


"Congratulations Calley! May your marriage smoothly," said Mother who was also happy to know Papa Evan plans to marry again.


"Wedding?" hearing that one word made Evan rise in blood, his emotions provoked again. Clenching Evan's hands rushed down, throwing a thousand questions about what Papa's marriage meant.


"Wedding?! Since when was the plan laid out?" evan's emotions stir, making Papa, Mother and Father reflexively stand with Evan's presence.


"Later Papa explained, Son," said Papa carefully, the thing he feared happened.


"Why didn't Papa ask my permission?!" evan's eyes heat up, so quickly Papa forgets Mama and presents a new person who changes Mama's position.


"Papa's planning to tell you when he's at Nak's house, Papa will explain everything he wants."


"For what permission if your invitation has been spread everywhere!"


"Why are you always acting all you want?! Like there's no me in your life!"


Evan was very angry, no more sweet 'Papa' calls, no more smiles he gave Papa. His eyes were sharp at Papa who looked awkward and felt guilty, had just improved his relationship with his only child but something was in the way.


"Papa can not live unaccompanied Nak, Papa needs someone who can pay attention to Papa's life," said Papa explained to Evan, Mother and Father hold the shoulder Evan who wants to block his Papa.


"However you are the person I hate in this world!" Evan removed his shoulders from the grasp of Father and Mother and ran outside the house. Again beautiful things according to his shadow have not happened at this time.
