Love in the Waiting

After 8 Years

On the way, Vino unceasingly chattered and continued to talk about Asyila to Erlan. Erlan was a little surprised because Vino typical child is difficult to get close to strangers, but why at his first meeting with Asyila instead Vino looks happy and comfortable.

"Papa, Vino wants to see Mommy". Pinta Vino

"Mother ? Mother who dear ?" Erlan said a little glancing at the child

"Mother Shila loh Pa, that was the one who had met Vino in the Park. Vino wants to see you again". Petunya again.

"But Papa doesn't know where Aunt Syila's house is dear".

"Papa please Vino would like to see Mother Hiks again.." Pinta Vino is crying.

"Well dear Papa will try to meet Vino Mother again, Vino happy ?" Erlan said by stroking the top of Vino's head.

"Asikkk Vino is happy Papa, I love you Papa" Vino said as he hugged Erlan.

"I love you too Papa's son, well Papa will deliver Papa's son to the house first, after that Papa will go to the Office" replied Erlan

"OK Papa". Vino's reply showed her 1 thumb.

Along the way Erlan did not stop thinking about something. It seems this is troubling his mind.

"God after 8 years, I met him again. He stole my heart long ago. But does she still remember about my promise to her ? No, he seems to have forgotten that promise, and there's no way he's waiting for me anyway". Inner Erlan.

GNW Corp

Asyila seemed to be busy with her work today, a stack of files ready for her to check and sign. Yes Asyila is a Deputy Director at GNW Corp. Papa Andhika placed him in the Deputy Director's section so that Asyila would gradually get used to his position, because one day he would hold GNW Corp.

Too busy with her work that Ashila did not realize someone had entered her room.

Chequek... Door's open

"Good Morning Mom, it seems like you're busy today". Greet someone

"Oh Morning Bagas, sorry yes I was too focused on my work until I was not aware of your presence in my room. What's up Bagas ?". Say Asyila with eyes that are still focused on the papers.

Yes, that someone is Bagas. A friend of Asyila High School, she also worked at GNW Corp on the recommendation of Asyila. Bagas occupies a position as Marketing Manager at GNW Corp.

"As usual Syil, I submitted some of our project plans with the client for the next 1 month. I need you to first examine our project plan proposal". Pajar Bagas

"Well, you can keep it here". Say Asyila while pointing at her desk

"Hmm Shil.." Sahut Bagas

"Is there anything else ?" Ask Asyila who is still focusing on her laptop and documents.

"I'm planning on taking you to lunch Syil, can you ?" Bring Bagas.

Asyila raised her head.

"Hmm how about Gas, I actually have an appointment with Amanda this afternoon for lunch." Asyila.

"What's wrong, Syil, next time I'll take you back then." Say Bagas

"Well, what if it's tomorrow ? I'll empty my lunch schedule for you. How ?" Asyila Barat

"OK deh Syil, then I go back to my room first." Say Bagas with pleasure.

"Okay, remind me again about Gas." Say Asyila while forming her finger into the letter O

"Well, the spirit of work is Asyila." He said as he left Asyila's room.

"Thanks for Gas." Say Asyila with a smile.

Very beautiful you Shil, especially if the smile is more and more I am amazed and like you. Inner Bagas.

Soon Amanda came and approached Asyila.

"Assalamu'alaikum Asyila the beautiful, don't daydream that it's new kesambet tau." Manda

"Walaikumsalam Manda, don't dream about you this."

"Have been waiting for me Shil ?" Ask Manda.

"No, I just got to 5 minutes ago, come on, sit down."

"All right, you've ordered ?" Ask Manda

"I'm waiting for you, if we order first I'll tell you a story." said Manda.

"Mba." said Manda, raising his hand.

"Can I help you, Miss ?" said the waiter.

"I want to order." said Manda.

"All right, your order Miss ?" ask the waiter.

"I want chicken wings with barbeque sauce and chocolate signature yes. What do you want Syil ?" said Manda.

"I order spaghetti bolognese just like orange juice." said Syila.

"Alright Miss, look forward to the order." said the waiter.

"Okay Syil, now you can tell me what you're going through and thinking" Manda said

"You know I met him today" Asyila said

"He ? Who's Syil ?" ask Manda.

"do you remember Erlan's sister ? My old friend. I met him today Manda." said Asyila

"Sister Erlan ? Oh yeah I remember, he's the one you always tell me about, right ? which promise will make you his bride when he gets married right ? he promised you a marriage, didn't he?" tanya Manda.

"You're right Manda, she's Erlan's sister who promised me 8 years ago about marriage. Which until now the promise I always hold and I instill in my heart Manda" said Syila

"you should be happy dong Syil, you don't have to wait for him again for that long. 8 Years you wait for God to finally find you again Shil." enthusiastic Manda.

"At first I was happy to meet her again, Manda, but one reality that surprised me and made me seem to lose hope Manda." said Asyila while lowering her head.

"What truth is Shil ?" ask wonder Manda.

"He's married, he even has a handsome son" said Asyila who shed tears.

"What ? is that right Syil ? Did he forget his promise to you first Syil ? you even waited for him all this time Syil, you even closed your heart to a man other than Brother Erlan, even you.. " Manda was unable to continue her words when she saw Asyila crying.

"Have Manda I been well, maybe God did not predestine me with Brother Erlan, I was too trusting the promise that Brother Erlan gave me first, no matter why Manda I will try to forget and erase my feelings for Brother Erlan, she is already happy with her little family and I never intend to ruin the happiness of others. So it's better that I step back" Asyila said as she endured the pain in her heart.

"You take it easy Shil, I'm sure God has a wonderful plan for you in the future. I am sure you will be reunited with him who deserves to be with you, I will help you to be able to forget and erase little by little your thoughts about Brother Erlan. The spirit of Shil, remember there is still a tomorrow that is more beautiful than today" said Manda.

"you're right, Manda, thank you for listening to every story. Thanks because you have always been my best friend all this time Manda." said Asyila while wiping away the rest of her tears.

"Have not cried that Syil, ntar even makina laper loh." joked Manda.

"You're right I'm hungry." said Asyila

Before long the waiter brought their order, and they began their luncheon activities accompanied by chatter and jokes from both.
