Love Sheila

S2 New Life

Safa is on the balcony of the apartment at the moment. Sit comfortably in the bean bag with his back. See a collection of white clouds that were marching in the clear sky of London that afternoon.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Adrian to make Safa a little jump in shock.

Safa turned her gaze towards the balcony door and then a small smile saw Adrian who was standing leaning against the glass door smiling sweetly at her.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

"Yes ngagetin?" tanya Adrian then sat in a bean bag next to Safa.

"Slightly," Safa replied uninspired.

"That means you must be daydreaming again" guess Adrian.

Safa only pulled a little of her lips in response.

"Before moving did Sonia ever tell you something?" ask Adrian.

Safa shook her head slowly.

"Sonia only ever told me that her father was having company problems, a little heavy like it was because his father always spent time in his study with two friends. Sonia also told me that she and her sisters could never have time with their father again, even just to get together, it was very difficult. Sonia is often moody at school. Until finally Sonia suddenly moved without saying goodbye at all."

Safa again sobbed and covered her face with both hands. Adrian felt his chest tight at Safa's sadness. Adrian's hand stretched out to gently caress Safa's head.

"Why did Sonia go and say nothing to Safa Mas?" isak Safa sounds heartbreaking.

Adrian who could not bear it finally pulled Safa into his arms. He rubbed Safa's head and back repeatedly.

"Yeah, don't cry anymore. Maybe there is something that causes Sonia to leave without having time to say goodbye to you first. We pray that wherever Sonia and her family are at this time, may they be in good health and well. Okay," entertain Adrian.

Safa nodded in Adrian's arms. Sean who sees Safa and Adrian's interaction from the door uncovers his intention to approach the two. Letting Adrian calm Safa down, Sean went upstairs to clean himself up in the bathroom in his room.

"Sir, tomorrow you start going to school. Are you ready for everything?" sean asked on the sidelines of their dinner.

"Udah kok Bang, assisted by Mas Rian earlier."

"Goodoo. Tomorrow morning Brother Mas Rian will also bring you to school before we leave for campus," said Sean.

"Yes Bang."

After dinner, Sean decided to do college work. Adrian accompanies Safa watching television in the living room.

"Mas Rian misses Safa's smile" Adrian chirped suddenly as television was airing an advertisement.

Safa turned to Adrian sitting next to her. A little surprised to hear Adrian's words.

"Mas Rian kangen Safa is cheerful, full of enthusiasm, and can always make everyone laugh happily," said Adrian, his eyes locked two eyes Safa who had begun to glaze over.

"Safa Rise. Rian is sure you can. Show me you are strong. Many love and support you. Don't disappoint them. So strong and successful person. Sonia must be sad to see you fall like this."

Tears were already flowing down Safa's cheeks. Adrian pulls Safa into his arms.

"Tau know this is heavy for you. But if you continue to fall like this, you will also make everyone who loves you sad, including Mas."

"Please arise Safa. Fight sorrow. Many people love you. We will always support you. Open a new page of life, we miss our old Safa. Let everything flow, we just walk according to the groove God writes for us. And if God wills, then you and Sonia will meet again someday."

Safa sobs in Adrian's arms.

"Cry as much as you Safa. But promise me, this is for the last time. Tomorrow you will wake up and become the usual Safa. Do you want to make a promise to me?"

"Mas Rian is sure you can."

"Yes, it's."

Secretly it turns out Sean noticed the two of them from upstairs. Sighing slowly, do not have the heart to see the situation of the younger brother like that.

At nine in the night, Sean knocked on Safa's bedroom door and opened it slowly.

"Will I get on the deck?"

"Look in a Bang" replied Safa who was still reading a book while leaning on the headboard.

Sean then walked in and sat on the bed facing towards the younger brother.

"Do you feel better?"

Safa smiled gently, a smile that did not reach her heart. Sean knew Safa's smile was just so Sean didn't worry too much.

Sean moved to the side of Safa and turned his body, leaning on the head of the bed.

"Abang really curious, how good is your friend whose name is Sonia, how can you cry like gini?"

Sean's question wasn't a satire, but since Sean was really curious, Safa understood that. Safa rests her head on Sean's shoulder.

"Sonia is so good Bang. His people are very mature. Good listeners when we want to vent, as well as advice givers and reliable solution seekers. He is also the most reliable if there is a difficult schoolwork. But he was not arrogant, never felt the greatest, always humble" Safa began her story.

"Many boys like Sonia, because in addition to good Sonia is also very beautiful Bang, natural beauty without excessive makeup polish. But Sonia always rejects them all, with the reason to focus on learning first. Ah, for the nature of that one Sonia looks a lot like Brother. Your principles are the same. Focus on learning to achieve goals and be successful so that parents can be happy and become family pride. Salute Safa to her Bang."

Without realizing Sean's lips were attracted to the top of hearing his sister's story, it turns out there are also those who have the same thoughts as him.

Story after story of Safa and Sonia's friendship continues to flow from Safa's tiny lips, and Sean patiently continues to listen to her sister's story. Safa fell asleep because of exhaustion.

Sean breaks down Safa slowly. Enveloped Safa then kissed her sister's forehead.

"Have a nice dream. Sleep well Dek. Hopefully according to your promise, tomorrow the cheer has returned to you, even though you know it is heavy," whispered Sean to Safa.

Sean then came out of Safa's room. Accidentally cross paths with Adrian who carries a water pitcher in his hand. Sean approached Adrian and held his best friend's shoulder.

"Thanks for everything you've done for Safa. I believe in Lo Bro, Lo will definitely take care of my adek well. Hopefully Safa's feelings won't change until she grows up."

Adrian smiling. Sean is too sensitive to be lied to. But he was grateful because indirectly Sean has given blessing to Adrian continues to fight.

Meanwhile in a small village, away from the hustle of the city. Sonia was helping her grandmother pick vegetables in the garden behind their house. Sometimes those memories came without being prevented, the reason why they were all in this small village right now.

Leaving behind the luxurious and frenetic life of the capital, Sonia was forced to leave her friends without even saying goodbye to them.

All because of the fierce business competition. Who forced his family to inevitably have to leave their lives in the capital. With the help of some of his father's most reliable companions, the Wicaksono family was made to disappear.

Of course there is a strong reason behind all that, the threat from the other side who even wanted young Sonia to be made a young wife. Which parent would willingly let his daughter fall into the hell of the world.

Therefore, with a heavy heart, the Wicaksono family who had lost the competition was forced to leave and disappear. Losing all the property and power they have. Grateful there are still friends who are willing to help their escape. Because it is not an easy thing to be able to run and escape the grip of large entrepreneurs in the class of RKG.

And another good fortune, because wives and children are willing to live hard lives, as long as all can still gather. They now live in the mother's hometown, in a small village far from the city crowd.

Ikhsan Wicaksono and his wife, Suci, are both Sonia's parents. Now the husband and wife opened a small grocery store and also a food stall. Sonia and her siblings, Sendy and Denis, will be happy to help both parents after school. They will also be happy to help the grandmother and grandfather cultivate the garden behind the house in the afternoon, as it is today.

A new life they never imagined. But they still have to live, whatever the circumstances. Because life will continue, although often not in accordance with our wishes. We just have to be wise in living it. And that's what Sonia and her family are trying to do right now.
