“Huft, leganya.” Mumbled Gilang.
He also walked out of the toilet. As he walked back to Marsya, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
“Mist.” Shouted a woman.
“Elena.”
Behind Elena looked a middle-aged couple that Gilang knew who it was.
With quick steps Elena walked over to Gilang, and with no idea of his embarrassment she immediately grabbed the man's arm and wrapped her hand there.
Just as Gilang wanted to release Elena's hand on her arm, the woman pleaded with her face.
“Please, Please help me. Just help me out this once, my parents think we still have a relationship. And these days my dad always asks me how you are. I'm confused to answer what.”
“Sorry Elena, it's none of my business. Now release your hands.” Gilang's orders are firm.
But Elena still did not want to let go of the man's hand.
“Tell me please help me, this time only. I promise this is the last one I asked for your help.” Said Elena with a clear face.
From a distance the couple still watched them.
“This is the last time I helped you. I did this because I still cherish you as the person who had accompanied me in the past, remember that!. Quickly tell me what I can help.”
“Please meet them there, behave like you are still my lover first.” Elena said as she pointed towards the middle-aged pulmonary couple.
“What are you crazy for!” Hardik Gilang, he felt Elena had gone crazy asking him to do such a thing.
“If your request is like that, sorry I can't.” Continue Gilang while wanting to release Elena's embrace on his arm.
“Say I beg you, my father is sick. And his condition hasn't been good lately. I just want to make him happy in his life's end.”
“Do I need to kneel in front of you now, so that you will help me.” Call Elena again.
“Don't be crazy you.” Gilang Sahut.
What would happen if everyone saw Elena kneeling in front of him, one must think he was a cruel man. Moreover Gilang is not good, since the sight of Elena's parents continues to lead to them.
“Then it helps me, please.”
Lama Gilang thought, while occasionally glancing at the middle-aged couple there.
Indeed, if you look, Om Herman's condition is not as fresh as it was the last time I saw him. Inner Gilang thought.
“Elena, don't forget about the statement I've issued in public. Surely your parents have seen it, right?”
“So there's no way they don't know that I'm married!” Said Gilang warning Elena.
“Or don't-don't it's just your plan.” Continue Gilang with a full glance at the woman.
“No, I didn't plan anything. Indeed they do not know that you are married, because at that time they were abroad.”
“My mother and father just returned to Indonesia after a long time abroad, because of the condition of the father who at that time dropped.” Elena Obviously.
Hearing Elena's reply, made Gilang think hard.
***
After thinking at length, Gilang finally agreed to Elena's request.
“Remember I'm doing this solely to make your father happy. How ever he treated me so well while still with you first.” Missing warning to Elena.
“Iya I know, thank you for helping me.” Elena Smile.
“Let's go to them, act like you used to.” Elena continued, while walking with Gilang's hand towards the direction her parents were.
With Gilang forced to obey, walking to follow where Elena pulled him.
Arriving in front of the middle-aged couple.
“Om, aunt.” Sapa Gilang with a smile that looks very forced. He walked closer to them, grabbed the hands of the two men and kissed them.
“Nak Gilang.” Greet them simultaneously.
“It's been a long time yes we didn't meet. Why don't you ever see you coming to see us.” Ask Om Herman, Elena's father.
“Gilang busy pah, so he did not have time to visit papah. Right babe?” Said Elena while displaying a blotchy smile on her lips.
“I.iya correct. I'm sorry om.”
“It's okay om understand, Elena also says the same thing every time om ask you.”
“You know, every time you ask about your news, this child will answer (Gilang is busy pah, he is looking for money to propose to your son)” Said Elena's father, who was not involved in the project, while mimicking his daughter's style of speech.
Hearing the words of Om Herman earlier, reflex made Gilang turn to look at Elena.
While Elena who knew Gilang was looking at him, pretended not to see.
His gaze he focused forward, not forgetting the smile that always rose on his lips.
Why he lied to his parents. Inner Cross.
“Already reward, mending discuss other things only.” Said Elena shifting the topic.
“How's your job lately nak Gilang?” This time it was Aunt Ria, Elena's mother who asked.
“Everything goes smoothly aunt.” Reply Gilang awkwardly.
“Have you had lunch? Join us here.” Bring Ria.
Gilang began to be uncomfortable there, his mind was reminded of Marsya who he left in the store earlier.
Well how is this? How can I get out of here. Inner Cross.
He was thinking hard now, how to get out of this atmosphere.
Like a miracle, Doni called him all of a sudden.
“Sorry to You, Aunt. Looks like there's some important business until my secretary calls. Excuse me for lifting it.” Gilang said, while walking a little away from the family.
“Iya, what's up Don?” Tanya Gilang after pressing the green button on her phone.
“I'm sorry Sir has contacted you in time off like this.” Sesal Doni's.
“It's okay Don, instead I want to thank you for saving me from an uncomfortable situation.” Reply Gilang relaxed.
“What's wrong, sir? Is there something that is troubling you? Do you need my help?” Ask Doni.
“There's nothing now. Tell me what made you call me on a Sunday like this?”
“Begini Sir, I got word that there was a problem with the residential project. From the side of Mr. Bramasta seems unable to cope with the citizens who protest there Mr.”
“I've guessed they won't be able to solve that problem.”
“Iya Sir. So, it looks like tomorrow you have to intervene directly to the field to negotiate with them.”
“Huft, that's it. Tomorrow we go there, prepare the need.” Gilang's orders while exhaling a rough breath. He hung up after there was nothing else he wanted to talk about.
“Basic useless, such a thing alone cannot be overcome.” Omel Gilang for the performance was not good from Leo Bramasta.
After storing his phone back in his pants pocket, Gilang also intends to go back to see the family.
“Gosh, it's almost an hour I left Marsya there.” Mumbled Gilang.
He quickly met Elena's family.
“Sorry to You, Aunt. There are urgent matters that I need to take care of now. Excuse me to go now. Again forgive me.” Said Gilang while bowing, a sign of apology. He did it out of respect for people older than him.
“Iya, yes. It's okay son, go.” Answer Herman quickly.
“Iya son, go. Come by the house, we have dinner together. We haven't had dinner together in a long time.” Said Ria.
In a hurry, Gilang also agreed with their words.
“Be careful on the road dear.” Elena said, like flirting with Gilang.
After getting permission, Gilang passed away from the family, his goal now is Marsya at the baby shop.
