In a cafe with a very beautiful interior design, Ela and Aura sat side by side. Aura came there alone, because if he brought Reynard would have messed things up. That little boy definitely could not keep quiet.
"So what do you want to tell me?" asked Aura while sipping her amerricano coffee.
Ela so sipped her vanilla latte. Then he started to breathe slowly. He told all the unrest in his heart as he had told Elmer. Aura continued to listen to Ela's story until it was over. When nothing else was said by Ela, Aura clasped Ela's hand.
"It wasn't your fault. So don't blame yourself. You deserve to be happy. You have the right to love men on this earth. Do not dwell on the past, for you live for the present and the future. Let go of all your worries."
Heard two people saying it wasn't his fault. It becomes moved.
"Is it because of this that you always resist when your mom is a match?"
Ela spontaneously nodded.
"But that's not all, I'm not ready to have a relationship with a man."
"Then, what about Elmer? Not that he was chasing you. I've also heard that you've been on vacation with him. Ah, I remember, what was it when you took Reynard that time. That's the day you went on vacation with Elmer?"
Aura remembered that day. Ela nodded again. While telling about the attitude of Elmer who has not given up to get his heart.
"Me and Elmer are just partners and there's something I can't tell you. We both know each other's secrets. But, I don't know, I don't think if I like it, I don't think so. I really don't know."
Ela held her head and put it on the table as she was confused by her own feelings.
Aura just smiled at him. Maybe Ela still doesn't like Elmer. But, they already trust each other. There is at least one point of their relationship that will grow and develop.
"Don't waste someone loving you sincerely. If you still don't love her. At least try to love him. That way, you can feel how love for a foreign man who is not your own family. Don't be afraid of heartache. Because in reality when someone is already in love he must be prepared for the consequences later. If you don't try it, how can you know."
Ela so continued to think about that Aura's words. He was too scared to fall in love. But ah ...
Ela's face looked worried and needed direction. Aura so smile amusedly looking at him. He became reminded of Rendra who did not believe in love also because often hurt women. While on Rendra's twin, Ela, she is afraid to fall in love. Really brothers who are very clop to each other.
"Try it, open your heart slowly. Elmer looks good when I hear from Mom's story. Although it seems, papa Richard still doesn't like Elmer."
"Hahah!"
Ela gave a rough breath.
"So that your heart may be better. Visit the man's grave. May he be calm there. I'm sure you'll be relieved later."
Ah, right too. It was a long time ago that Ela never visited Valdi's tomb again. The last time was when he graduated college.
"Do you and your mom know about this?"
"Mom's dad knew that my friend was in an accident to help me. But they didn't know that the guy liked me. I did not intentionally want to tell a story."
"What about Kak Elnan and Rendra?" ask Aura again.
"They don't know either. No one knows that I'm harboring that uneasiness and uneasiness."
Instantly a hug Aura gave to Ela. Ela was already very strong in living her life with that guilt. It must have been very uncomfortable to hold it for years. Maybe if he somehow did.
"That's enough, you've had enough to torture yourself. Now fly like a butterfly into the free world. If you need someone to listen to your story again. I'm ready El. We're family."
Aura released her embrace and wiped away the tears on Ela's cheek.
"Maybe Rendra doesn't know what's going on with you. But, I'm sure he can feel your pain. Because you're twins and can feel pain from each other. Should I hide this from Rendra as well?"
Ela nodded.
"I don't want them all to worry. Let it be like this."
"Well if that's what you want. Then let's go home. It's getting dark. I've been out too long. Fears Reynard's crying and looking for me."

Ela did not immediately go home because she had to go to the boutique first to take the clothing design that had been drawn half earlier. When she arrives, Ela is informed by Alin of Elmer's arrival.
Ela was so reminded of Aura's words that suggested her to try first. He contacted Elmer via voice call.
"Finally you called me too" Elmer said across the phone.
"What's wrong?" ask Ela.
"There really is nothing. Just wanted to see you, but you weren't at the boutique. That's why I asked Alin to tell me I was coming. The point is, I just want to be contacted by you first, hehe."
Elmer's words ended his little laugh. It feels good, if Ela contacts him first. Her vibe was different from when she first contacted. Butterflies in his stomach were flying out.
Ela could only shake her head. If only there was Elmer in front of him maybe he had pinned Elmer's head.
"I closed it first."
"Eh, don't dong. It's only been a while, too" said Elmer who did not want his call to be completed.
"I need to close the boutique first. Kasian Alin if you close alone. It's yes."
Want not. Likes to not like, Elmer also let Ela hang up their phone. But when it's finished later. He'll call back. Just a few minutes is not enough for Elmer.
The shop is locked, and Ela takes Alin home. Then drive the car back to his house. Along the way, Ela's mind just swirled around.
"If you don't try, how will you know?"
Shall? Should he really try to fall in love? Should it? While he is not ready. Not ready for the consequences of falling in love itself.
