Hope Is You's
Twenty Seven's
After working hours, Atika follows Ian's request to give him a chance to explain and clear up all the misunderstandings between them.
At this time they were in a car that drove slowly either where the destination Atika was still not know, several times Atika asked where they were headed and only answered "You are calm, just calm down, I'm not gonna kidnap you" and Ian's smile makes Atika feel pain again because the words Ian always uses when they go together aimlessly.
The car entered the office building area that is not familiar to Atika then stopped in the parking lot facing the park that is not too large with a large font arrangement ALTAR PARK, which is located in the park, Atika held her breath for a moment then exhaled heavily staring at the garden in front of her.
"Why come here?" Ask, they still and still sitting car seats.
"You remember that? This park witnesses our first meeting and also the place I asked you to be my girlfriend." Ian looked straight ahead there with a smile still adorning his face but Atika was unmoved, not responding.
"I remember very much, you rejected me several times for many reasons but with the help of Miftah you finally want to accept me. My struggle for you is not easy, starting from you who have never dated, want to focus on school, and also because I am the only son of the owner of a large company in this city." Ian glanced at Atika who was still silent looking straight ahead, then he resumed, continuing,
"But Goddess Fortuna was still on my side at that time, until you finally collapsed and you accepted me." He smiled and kept glancing at Atika.
"So you mean I'm just for nostalgia?" Atika did not look or look at Ian, honestly his heart was again ravaged by this man, Atika thought he had managed to move on but like one of the quotes from the novel that he had read that "The past can tear hearts apart even with just one second of meeting", and that seems to be true.
"The day I returned from Bali and promised to pick you up, my mom asked me to pick her up at the mall where she and her friend had lunch. I went there without any bad feeling. Mami knew me about her friend and her son, she's Aunt Siska and her son, Selly."
"Tante Siska?" Atika turned to Ian to hear the name, which she remembered when accompanying her mama Ian Arisan, Siska's aunt who seemed to dislike her the most and looked down on her.
"You familiar?" Atika thought for a moment and then shook her head and looked back at the park in front, she chose to be quiet and not tell the events of that time.
"Disana mami kept telling me about Selly and Aunt Siska's family, I started to catch strange gels until finally mami and aunt Siska left me sitting together with Selly, I just sat down, I was straightforward if I already had you and you, I thought it would make Selly refuse this match but no, no, instead, my mom is angry with me for telling about you to Selly, my mom is even desperate to harm her because I continue to insist on defending you." Atika turned to Ian with rounded-unbelieving eyes.
"So don't like your face to be like mine?" Ian looked at her softly then exhaled a heavy breath because so many things were squeezing his chest, then continued again.
"Three days my mom was hospitalized, and I'd rather stay at Gibran's and as long as I'm not home, as long as she's sick. I really don't know what to do, on the one hand I can't leave you and on the other hand I also don't want to be disappointed by the woman who has been worrying about me. Almost a week I can only squirm you from far away, from you to work and I can't do anything, I'm afraid the Selly family is reckless with you and I'm finally getting this match." Atika continued to look at Ian who told the story, not expecting Ian to be as tortured as he was.
Ian tried to hold Atika's hand and looked her in the eyes.
"If I can become an aladin and get a miracle to apply for 1 only, I will ask that time be replayed back to the time where I have to choose between you and my parents" Atika shook her head to hear Ian, the tears that had been held by Atika finally fell on her cheeks.
"No, what you are doing is real. Even if I knew from the beginning of this story, I would have told you to go back to your parents." Ian tried to touch Atika's wet cheek, rubbing it slowly and trying to hold back his own tears to keep it nurtured.
"I can't do it without you. I love ka.." Ian's words were cut off by the windshield next to him.
Dorr
Atika and Ian turned their heads at once and how shocked to see Ian's mom out there with an angry face. Atika wanted to open the door beside him but Ian was faster to press the lock button on the door beside the steering wheel.
"OPEN UP! DOWN YOU!" Mami Ian's loud voice and sounded impatient from the outside.
"It's open!" Atika also began to panic because Ian did not open the key.
"Son, we're out of here. We live in this city and live together elsewhere."
"Yes I'm crazy, and that's because I can't be without you!"
Dorr dorr
The outside press is getting louder making Atika frustrated not to know what to do.
"DIAN!!" His frustrated impact on the man beside him, made Ian ruffle his hair violently and then press the unlock button on his door. Atika quickly opened the door and approached the aunt Diana who was also walking quickly towards her.
Plakkkk
Atika had not had time to speak but one loud slap landed on her smooth cheek.
"THE BASICS OF WOMEN DO NOT KNOW THEMSELVES, DO NOT HAVE SHAME. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE, IAN ALREADY HAS A FIANCEE AND WILL SOON BE MARRIED BUT YOU JUST KEEP APPROACHING HIM!" Aunt Diana scolded him in a loud voice, and Ian who was so looking at the incident quickly descended and approached them.
"Mi! Atika's not wrong, I'm the one who asked her to come with me."
"NO! MAMI KNOWS IT MUST BE A POOR WOMAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW HERSELF THAT DEKETIN YOU. YOU POOR PEOPLE DON'T HAVE SELF-ESTEEM ANYMORE." Atika's tears were getting more and more wet on her cheeks, she was too shocked to know what to reply with every painful word from Ian's mom.
"Mommy! I love Atika, and I can't leave her. It's up to you now to do what, which obviously me and Atika will remain together!"
Plakkk
This time a slap from Atika's hand landed on Ian's cheek, with his chest rising and falling as he endured the emotions and heartache of his aunt Diana's words.
"Who said I agree? I never wanted to come back with you again. And aunt.." Atika turned to look at Mami Ian who also looked shocked.
"I am poor but never say I have no self-respect. Aunts may be rich in treasure, but aunty's heart is much poorer even than a beggar's. If the aunt has a heart, the aunt will not force a will that makes the aunt herself feel burdened even strangled!" Atika then turned around with long strides and hands that continued to rub rough her cheeks because of the melt of her tears did not also stop - leaving behind a pair of children and mothers who continued to stare at her disappearance.
Atika turned into a triangle-shaped park in the third of the road not far from the Altar Group office building.
In that dim place he sat on the bench of cement and then expressed all his feelings, his heartache, crying without a sound. He reached into his bag and then intended to contact Miftah-cousin, to ask to be picked up because he could not go home to take a ride with this situation.
While continuing to sob he looked for the name of Miftah's contact and immediately contacted him. Not long ago Atika waited until the sound of 'tut' call sign connected stopped and heard a sigh across without hello greeting
"Replace. Hiks, je.pick up g.gue hiks. I can't go home by myself. I'm in a triangle park on the third street to the Altar Group. Hiks hyks." Atika was still with her stuffing talking with a hiccup.
"Wait there don't go anywhere!" The heavy sound from across the street made Atika jerk and then keep the phone away from the ear then check the contact she called, and there was the id of Boss Fridge instead of Best Cousin, and there was plastered, he brought his phone closer to the door but there was only a long tuuttt sound that meant the phone connection was over.

Enjoy SHARK 🤗😘
