Lara My love

Chapter 16 Sunset

I went back to Villa after the ambulance carrying Ega's brother and his patient was out of sight. I went up to my room to take a shower, as it turned out to be almost 5 p.m. My body feels fresh again after taking a shower, I change clothes, wear shorts on my knees and a hoodie that measures too big on my body. I went downstairs and found no one there, maybe they were still resting in their rooms. I walked out of the Villa and headed for the beach. The atmosphere on the beach is still quite crowded even though it is almost maghrib. Maybe because of the school holiday season, so many of them spend time by going to the beach.

I sat on the sand, folding my legs so I could hug him. I looked at the sky, I smiled watching the sun start to descend into the contest. Just as day turned into night, light transformed into evening, my tiredness seemed to disappear, the anxiety that haunted my mind disappeared instantly as I became a victim of God's miracle that was difficult to describe its beauty.

" It's beautiful."

I turned my eyes, my eyes down every corner of the beach and looked for the source of the sound. Suddenly someone was sitting next to me, looking at me fixedly and his gaze was so sweeping.

" Are you okay?" Said someone who was none other than Brother Zean, someone who had been avoiding me all day.

" Of course." Answer's short.

I looked back at the sky. The sun has completely left its day and is ready to replace it with twilight. I was more fascinated when the orange luminescence adorned the sky with its beauty. The Lord is great with all the beauty he has created.

" What's up ?" I asked someone who was still sitting quietly next to me.

" Here's the cell phone." Brother Zean took out a cell phone from his jacket pocket.

" What does it cost?" I took the phone in Zean's hand and turned it on.

" Free." He answered briefly and put his hands in his jacket.

" Why?" I also pretended to use English.

" It's because I'm the one who betulin himself, not so I take it to the service center." Evidently.

" Oh, thanks." My brief.

I put my phone in my hood pocket, then I stood up and intended to get away from Brother Zean. Just a few steps, I felt a hand blocking my wrist, I stopped and turned around to confirm who the owner of the hand was.

" Done." While trying to take my hand off Zean's check.

" That's all." Brother Zean still hasn't let go of my hand.

" sthat mean?" I was surprised because I did not understand the meaning of the words of Brother Ega.

" Aren't you going to buy me a meal?"

" When I said that, it seems like I turned down my sister's offer that night. If so I ask for his account number, let me transfer, brother can buy girlfriend sister eat later ." It seems like my words sound a little harsh.

" Friend? Who?"

" According to brother?" I turned around, and rubbed my wrists that had slipped from Zean's clasps.

" What's the pain, sorry?" Sorry to see me rubbing my wrist.

" No! Excuse me." I turned around and left Brother Zean who was still standing on the beach.

I went back to Villa and saw that everyone was gathered in Villa's courtyard except me and Brother Zean of course.

" Where have I been looking for this, where do you keep Ega?" Cecar Arum after seeing me back and gathering with everyone.

" Sister Ega came home this afternoon."

" Why, is there another sudden operation?" Tanya Arum was curious.

Not yet had time to answer Arum's question, Brother Zean came from the direction I came earlier that made everyone take turns to look at me and also Brother Zean. Did not escape the sharp gaze of sister Natasha who made me a little uncomfortable.

" You guys go together?" Say sister Natasha while pointing at me and sister Zean alternately.

" So, don't you go out together?." Asked Arum while smiling meaningfully.

" No!" My firmness.

Brother Zean just kept quiet and clamped both his shoulders when Fajar wanted to confirm the truth.

" So what's the reason for Ndi's return?" Aunt Marisa's voice made me a little relieved to switch the subject.

I recounted the incident this afternoon from me playing on the beach with sister Ega, then accidentally met a pregnant mother who arrived suddenly pingsang and her establishment broke, and then accidentally met a pregnant woman who arrived, then Ega took her to the hospital for treatment. Everyone looks serious about hearing my story except for Natasha's sister who still hasn't stopped looking at me with her horrible look.

After hearing the long story from my mouth, we all shared the task, the men were in charge of lighting small bonfires while we women prepared the ingredients that will be burned tonight. Aunty Marisa and om Suryo are in charge of burning the ingredients that we have prepared, from various types of seafood to various kinds of meatballs and sausages and meat of course.

" So you're out of this way with Zean?"Arum re-opened the topic of conversation that I was actually lazy to discuss.

" No Rum."

" Why are you guys from the same direction?" He whispered again in half a whisper.

" I saw the sunset myself again, suddenly Brother Zean appeared out of nowhere, but he just wanted to turn my phone back!" Obviously lazy.

" Thus?" Still not giving up.

" Yes, I keep saying thank you, I asked her account number to pay the fee, but she said it doesn't have to be because Zean himself took my phone."

" Well, is that it?" Arum still asked excitedly.

" Hmm." I nodded and did not tell her about Zean's invitation to buy her a meal.

In the middle of my chat with Arum suddenly Arum's phone rang and it turned out that brother Ega made the call. Sister Ega must not know that my phone is not damaged anymore. Arum handed his phone to me, I went inside the Villa because it was very noisy outside and was afraid that Ega's voice would not be heard clearly.

" Hello brother."

" Hello. What else, have you eaten?" Ask Ega from across the street.

" Other burning outside, not eating. Did the brother eat? "Manyaku.

" hasn't. Brother's still at the hospital hasn't been able to get out for food."

" Feed first, brother, tell who to buy food!"

" It's a bawel."

" How's mom doing, sister?"

" Still in the operating room, we took her to the hospital, because the nearest hospital had less medical equipment ." The sound of sister Ega breathing violently, indicates the condition of the pregnant woman is quite severe.

" They must be fine, they're very lucky to meet such a great doctor as big brother." I tried to calm down Brother Ega.

" Hopefully the mother and the baby are safe." said Ega.

" It's a long time ago yes, brother still have business, you are good there, tomorrow go home heart yes!"

" Yes, brother."

Brother Ega ended the call. I breathed a sigh remembering what happened this afternoon. An incident that made my heart beat violently and seemed to shake my imagination a little bit to become an architect because it seemed like I was starting to become interested in becoming a doctor.

Seriate...
