Love Stories Overseas
Chapter 151
" It's finished, Grandma, all the El's groceries have already entered the suitcase. Later El help bring a suitcase grandma when you want to go to the airport, grandma calm down, El is big and strong carrying heavy items".
El's speech only got a nod from Fatma, since El had felt that his grandmother's attitude was a little strange. It all started from this time in Central market met with Om Bram. El remembered what Om Bram said, if there was something that was kept secret by the grandmother. But what secret is that?".
El is curious so he wants to find out about the secret that his grandmother is hiding. Because El also felt that if Miss Dila knew the secret, the secret that was deliberately hidden from her. Currently El is no longer a toddler who does not know anything, his age is almost 10 years, and he certainly can act like an adult, when his curiosity can not be dammed.
That's why sometimes Dila is worried because El is a smart child and his curiosity is high enough to make him curious. During this time Dila also wanted to tell the truth to El, but Dila had not been able to say the right moment to say it, and again according to Dila Indra and Bu Fatma it is more entitled to tell.
All gathered at half-time 2pm, to depart for the international airport in Kuala Lumpur. Indri and her husband drive their own car, because they have to take their father, mother and the whole family to the airport, car 1 alone will not fit to carry everyone at once their belongings.
Indri waved as El waved after passing the boarding pass.
" See you again El.!", cried Indri while waving his chested hands.
El replied to Indri's hand, "See you again Aunt Indri, El wait for her arrival in Jakarta", El said as he continued to follow his family.
" Mommy Dila, it looks like Arsy will be fussy again in the plane, look, just want to go in, he's been mew-wikir so", El who was walking beside Dila immediately guessed, he was just trying to get in, because I saw Arsen was ready to cry.
" No dear, Arsy is a good child and obedient mother, if the mother says Arsy will have to be anther and can not be fussy, it means Arsy will be a henchman", dila tried to convince herself.
Arsy was already napping earlier, and maybe even though later on the plane Dila gave ASI for him, Arsy will not sleep like when on the plane departure. But fortunately the trip home, Dila sat with her mother-in-law, Ms. Fatma, so Fatma deliberately swapped seats with Indra, sat next to Dila and helped Dila play around with Arsy.
Luckily Arsy did not become fussy and two hours of travel on the plane Arsy continued to play around with his mother and grandmother.
When he arrived in Jakarta, Ari and private driver Bu Fatma had picked them up at the airport.
" Granny, El nitip used to stuff El in grandmother's suitcase, later or tomorrow El play at grandma's house to take", el said when they had to separate because the purpose of going home was different.
At home El instead of resting like his father and mother, but instead El chatted with Ari on the front porch. Like an adult seeking information about the truth.
" Does Mas Ari have his HP number Om Bram?, the father's friend who is said to be Kayla's brother?", asked El carefully.
" Why did you suddenly ask him?", Ari immediately became suspicious of El's question. Moreover, Ari knows, El is a smart little boy.
" It's okay Mas Ari, it's just that we had a chance to meet while in Malaysia, he said he wanted to give toys for me when he met in Jakarta, that's why El wants to call Om Bram and ask that".
The reason El is still less convincing for Ari, because it is impossible just because of a toy El so wanted to ask Bram number to him, because he wanted to meet with Bram.
Why exactly ask Bram number to Ari, not on Indra his father, or on Dila who obviously has to keep the number.
Ari can actually ask her sister Lita Kayla about Bram's phone number, because Ari has Lita's number, only Ari is still hesitant about the reason El said.
" I'm sorry El.. pity, I don't have the number Mas Bram, why don't you try to ask your father or mother who obviously must have the number Mas Bram" said Ari.
" No, I'm not on good terms with Om Bram now, if Miss Dila is busy taking care of Arsy, so I'm asking for the same number as Mas Ari, if there is no, of course, El will ask Miss Dila".
The next day El said goodbye to Dila to go to her grandmother's house, take the groceries that were left yesterday in the suitcase of the grandmother.
Indra has started working, as well as Ari who this morning drove Indra to the office, El said he would ride an online motorcycle taxi to his grandmother's house, Dila who is busy taking care of Arsy who somehow since returning from Malaysia so fussy, so just say yes when El say goodbye to go to his grandmother's house.
El actually took an online motorcycle ride to his grandmother's house, but El remembered having been invited to Lita's aunt's apartment by Dila Bu first, therefore El changed his destination, so El was, El goes to Lita's apartment first before going to her grandmother's house.
Lita was so shocked when she opened the door of her house, there was El who came alone. Lita, who was pregnant, told El to go into her apartment. Kunto was at work at the time, and Lita was alone in her apartment.
" El... What's going on this morning you went to the aunt's apartment?, did something happen to Ms Dila?", asked Lita with a panicked expression, because El had just come alone to his apartment.
" I don't know El went to Aunt Lita's apartment, actually El wants to ask for help with Aunt Lita" said El in a hearty tone.
" See what please, dear?".
Lita looked at El closely, from the look on El's face, there seemed to be no problem, "Why did El ask me for help?, why me?", Lita's inner.
El sits next to Lita, and recounts her encounter with Bram in Malaysia.
" Can I have Bram's number?, El wants to see him".
Lita seems confused, "Aunty can not give thanks, if until your mother or father knows that Aunt who loves Mas Bram number as you, it could be a problem in the future. What if you are still your number with Auntie, let Aunt send your number to Mas Bram" said Lita nyari aman.
El nodded in agreement, and immediately gave Lita her mobile number after Lita saved El's number. Lita calls Bram and tells him that El is in his apartment. Lita also sends her contact number El on Bram.
Bram has returned to Indonesia, but he is currently in the office, a lot of work that must be done so he has not been able to meet with El this morning.
El understands the busyness of the adults, therefore El asked Bram to take time this afternoon, during a break to meet El at the cafe RX. Bram agrees.
Because he had managed to contact Bram, and had agreed to meet later in the afternoon, El also told Lita, because he wanted to go to his grandmother's house first, so that his alibi was strong.
" Don't bring Auntie if later you get scorned by your father and mother, El. Aunty does not follow", said Lita did not want to be blamed and did not want to interfere.
Actually Lita pityes El, because Bram's words, El must find out about the secret about her which is actually already pretty much knowing. It's just that all who know are still silent because they do not want to get into trouble by interfering in the affairs of others.
Especially if El himself knows, somehow feels, maybe El will feel like a child abandoned by his biological parents.
Lita realized that her sister had indeed been very outrageous all this time. Already know wrong but never feel guilty and do not want to admit his guilt.
Even now that Kayla is back in Germany, a few months after Lita's wedding, Kayla returns to Germany and will probably settle there. I don't know what kind of mother Kayla was, who never missed her own biological son.
" And one more Auntie message, maybe your family is keeping something a secret, but Aunt Lita thinks, maybe it's all they do because they really love you. So don't ever blame your family whatever you hear and know after this El...".
El nodded in understanding and left Lita's apartment, heading to her grandmother's house.
