IF THERE IS STILL LOVE

SUPPER

"Elin, you're so beautiful, son... " Said a woman who is almost the same age as her mother.it is a Aunt Goddess who is none other than a close relative of her father continued.

"Thank you aunt." Reply Elin tried to compensate for the host's pleasantries.

For a moment he opened his eyes to all corners of the house. The house was no less luxurious than Elin's house. Classic European style house, with light gray and bone white that dominates.

"Come please.please. " The woman again invited her guests to sit at the dinner table.

On the table have been some western-style menus arranged in such a way.

Elin took a seat right next to the Aunt Goddess. While Mama and Mr. Bimo sat in front of him side by side.

"Well, it's been a while since we've met and sat down at a table like this." Say Aunt Goddess with her smile.

"Yes mbak. If it's not wrong time for the office secretary's wedding, right? " mama Elin replied no less suave

"Yes. Want like nowhere else, we are all preoccupied with each other's affairs until we forget to gather with our own relatives. " Imbuh aunt Goddess

"It won't happen again when our sons are actually married. " Excited sir Bimo glanced with an intimidating look at Elin

Elin threw away her face. Sickened. That's one of the right words for the representation of his feelings towards this man.

"You're right, Bim. I really hope that it will happen soon. " Add the Goddess tente by throwing her smile at Elin. Elim smiled clumsyly.

"That's it, the most important thing now that we've met. And like this dish has been calling to eat" interrupted Pak Bimo also.

Mama Elin and Aunt Dewi chuckled while Elin who was in the middle of the pleasant chatter chose to be indifferent and not in the mood to chimed in a word or two.

"Let's eat it." Said Aunt Dewi while chopping up the steak on her plate with a knife.

Everyone started eating their own food, including Elin. Various jokes and other pleasantries still filled the atmosphere of the dining table.

Every now and then Elin seemed to force her lips to smile as the Aunt Goddess tried to throw a joke at her. Until dinner was over with dessert.

"Elin, auntie, it's great that you came here. " Say mother Goddess after sweeping her lips with a piece of tissue.

Elin who felt herself being talked to, just threw a knotty smile.

"So my aunt called Rey and told me you were coming tonight. Rey is very happy. He sends his regards to you." Call that woman again.

Really aunt? then what kind of reaction does aunt expect from me now? what does this matter to me?

"Greetings back, aunt. "

Geez, what did I just say? whahuh? greetings back? Hey Elin, what are you doing? did you just say hello to that man? .

Elin cursed herself.

"Like his Rey is impatient waiting for the day of his return, mbak" said Mr. Bimo.

"of course. Rey is very impatient to meet and get to know Elin. But he has not been able to leave the company at this time because there are several projects that he must complete alone."

"Yes. But why not have them communicate over the phone first? Isn't this age so sophisticated now?" Mama Elin's.

"Well, like Rey likes surprises huh, Elin?" said mama Elin deliberately glanced at Elin who seemed not interested in the conversation.

Elin simply nodded while smiling awkwardly.

"Elin, one thing you should know, Rey was very impressed when auntie said you were good at violin." The eyes of the Goddess sparkle.

"oh yeah? " elin said making a tone of voice as if she was interested in the news.

"Yes... Rey loves any musical instrument, including the violin. So when auntie said you were good at playing the violin, she was so loud." added Dewi excited.

Does impressing her matter to me, auntie? I don't even care if he's not impressed with me. I'll even thank him if he's not impressed with me.

"That's great. later Rey will listen to Elin's violin every day. Isn't that so Elin? " Pack Bimo also glanced at Elin.

Hearing that Elin only responded with a wry smile and a small nod.

Her heart so cursed the pretentious attitude of angel Bimo in front of her Mama.

Meanwhile, the night was moving. The chatter at the dining table made Elin want to quickly disappear from there.

Of course there was nothing interesting about the conversation.There was only he was so fed up if lingering sitting one table with Bimo.

Until the end, Elin's long-awaited time came as well. Mama says goodbye to Aunt Dewi.

"Ma, I have business for a minute. I'll be able to take a taxi." Said Elin to her mama when they went out of the house Aunt Goddess.

"You're okay taking a taxi by yourself? " His mother wanted to make sure.

Elin nodded.

"alright. But you're careful." Reply to her mother after thinking for a moment.

Without saying anything else, Elin moved away from that place to a mini market that was across the street.

He really does not need anything to the mini market. There's nothing at all.

Only, he wanted to avoid being back in one car with Bimo. Linger sitting one table just now is enough to make him feel careless.

After making sure the car that Bimo and his mother drove away, Elin rushed into the taxi that had just stopped in front of her.

Elin sat in the back seat of the driver, staring at the street with lights flashing from other vehicles, as well as from the street lights lined up like thousands of moon lined up.

The taxi kept driving Elin towards her house. Breaking the highway of this metropolitan city with the noise that always erodes the walls of the ears without stopping.

Elin leaned on her body. Trying to come to terms with millions of disputes in his mind. Elin closed her netra, seeking peace in her heart. The obvious one was so hard for him to find.

The horn sound from other riders was so intensely deafening. The taxi drove, along with Elin's mind that floated far away somewhere.
