Love In Silence

Meet Edwin

Once in Surabaya, Alexa immediately ordered a taxi online to drive herself to the hotel. But when the tax came, Alexa immediately entered and sat in the back seat.

Taxi was walking but in the middle of the trip, the driver like to recognize the passengers. As for Alexa, she just closed her eyes. Indeed, since on the train, Alexa chose to be silent and closed her eyes to reduce the pain. Alexa doesn't even care who drives now, the important thing is that she is delivered to her destination safely.

"Alexa" said the driver, looking at Alexa from the glass in front of him.

"You recognize me?" alexa asked who kept her eyes closed.

"Have you forgotten my voice?" ask the driver while looking back. Alexa opened her eyes but was shocked when she saw that the driver turned out to be Edwin.

"Mas Edwin," said Alexa

"Are you the same as me?" ask Edwin to smile.

"Yes, ingetlah mas. Why is Edwin in Surabaya?" ask Alexa

"Yes, I used to go back to the village. But working there is hard. But I applied in Elementary School and was accepted as a private teacher, but the salary was very low, only 150 RB per month. Sometimes it is not paid for 3 months. While the distance of my house to where I was far enough about an hour more. I have to buy gasoline every day.

I felt that my salary was never enough to meet all my needs, so I decided to migrate to Surabaya as an online driver," Edwin told me about his life.

"Oh, I think Mas Edwin is still in the village and has been married because there has been no news for a long time" said Alexa.

"I'm not married yet, I'm still single" Edwin replied lying because he already had a fiancee. Edwin is engaged to the girl in his village. And he migrated to Surabaya because he had to find more money to be able to make marriage capital with his fiancee.

Edwin fiance with the girl is not because of love but because in a match by his mother and Edwin can not refuse because on the other hand, he also did not have a partner.

But he did not expect that he would meet the people he loved so much. The person he had longed for and called in every prayer.

"Basak mas, still single means the same as me," said Alexa sadly.

"You're single too? Aren't you fiancee to Andi, my best friend?" ask Edwin wonder.

"I've broken up with Mas Andi" replied Alexa with tears.

"A few hours ago" replied Alexa

"Is that why, you went here?" ask Edwin

"Well, I want to calm my heart. I wish my heart would heal over time" replied Alexa smiling as tears fell.

"I will help heal the pain" Edwin smiled but Alexa did not answer him and chose silence.

Until they did not feel they even arrived at the hotel that was headed.

Alexa immediately went down from earlier so did Edwin.

"Is your number still the same as it used to be?" ask Edwin.

"Yes" answered Alexa

"Tomorrow I'll call you, to take you for a walk so you don't get sad anymore" Edwin said.

"What, you still miss my number?" ask Alexa

"Yes,"

"But why didn't you ever call me?"

"Because I appreciate Andi as my best friend. How can I send a message to a woman who has become someone else's fiancee let alone her fiance is my own best friend. I don't want to hurt my best friend but because now you and Andi have broken up, so don't expect me to come near you again. I mean as a friend" Edwin said.

"Well from now on we are friends. I go in first, you be careful on the road" said Alexa who immediately went to carry a suitcase containing her clothes. Edwin stared at him without saying a word.

After Alexa entered the hotel, Edwin entered his car to find other passengers.

And Alexa, in the room she ordered. He just remembered not paying the taxi money. Although Edwin is a person he knows, Alexa has hired his services to take him to the hotel.

Alexa wants to call him but he doesn't have his phone number. He hoped Edwin would contact him immediately so that Alexa could soon pay his taxi money.
