...Where are you who is always angry if someone else touches yours...

...~Erlang-s...

***

It's been 3 days Elena hasn't gone to the office. There was at first glance the intention to resign from his job but he paused.

Bima has visited his home many times but he always ignored it.

An incoming message stopped Elena's daydream sitting on the edge of the bed.

Let's meet at the rose caffe at 3pm

***

With an uneasy feeling Elena drove her car towards the caffe that Citra was told. Iya Citra, somehow the woman asked him to meet on weekdays even though Elena was on leave.

Did Citra already know everything and she wanted to talk about it in person? Will Citra hate him and curse him with the title of actor without knowing the truth and Citra poured a glass of water on his face like in the drama he often saw?

Elena's raging with all her analysis. He prepared himself with all the bad things that would happen.

Doubtful, Elena stepped her feet with a mouth that kept muttering.

"I'm not wrong." that sentence he always uttered while accompanying at every step.

The image is already waiting while sitting on a square-shaped table in one corner. He was smiling when he saw Elena who was at the door. 

But that smile even looked scary to Elena. I don't know what's the meaning behind the smile that Citra throws.

"Sore Mba." smiled as he slightly bowed his head.

"Hmm, Elena's afternoon. Yuk sat down." point to Citra on a chair in front of him. Now they are facing.

"What message do you want?"

"Just be right about Mba."

The silence was felt until the caffe waiter came to put two glasses of hot americano on the table.

"There's something I want to talk to you about Elena" Citra said breaking the silence for a moment. 

The atmosphere was so gripping for Elena. A dress shirt attached to the base of her thighs.

"What are you talking about Mba?" Elena was still trying to smile.

"Mas Bima." Citra's speech seemed to sound very serious.

Deg

True to Elena's guess, Citra would have wanted to discuss the matter. Cold sweat began to fall from his temples. 

His thumb seemed to be sensitive to the situation, he was pressing down quickly as the saltwater began to move into the cheek area.

"I just found out that you have a special relationship with Mas Bima." look into her eyes so deeply when looking at Elena.

"Mba Citra, I can explain everything."

"I just found out that you are a person who is so loved Mas Bima that your photo fills the gallery Mas Bima." 

The image lowered his gaze. His heart is so tight but what can be done, that is the reality.

"Mba me.." Elena did not finish blurting out her sentence, Citra immediately disconnected the sentence.

"I realize here I'm wrong for separating the two of you."

"I'm sorry." His words faltered, his voice raucous but as much as possible he continued his sentence.

"But you need to know Elena, I love Mas Bima so much." she straightened her head to look at Elena. There was sincerity in every word he said.

"Are you going to take Mas Bima?" his gaze turned soft.

"Why talk like that, where might I take the father of an innocent child." 

Elena momentarily stopped her sentence. Trying to be as normal as possible, even though he also felt tightness in his chest.

"Maybe it's Mba's destiny, me and Mas Bima are not a match. So Mba does not need to worry later will have an impact on the fetus that is Mba bladder."

"Even though this fetus was due to a mistake, but I really wanted it Elena."

"Yes Mba." Elena flashed a fake smile. His face could cover up the sadness, but not his heart. For the second time he felt pain just because of men.

"Thank you Elena, you're really a good person. I'm lucky to meet you." There is happiness that emanates from the look of the face of Citra. 

Elena was so happy to see people happy even though she had to bear the pain of it.

"I was also lucky to meet Mba Citra."

***

After the caffe Elena did not go straight home. He intends to buy some of his mother's favorite flower stalks. Yes, he wanted to visit the person who had given birth to him.

Always like that, if he was happy or sad, he always visited the tomb of his mother.

Tells about what he is going through, although there is no response that he will get but able to make his heart a little calm.

"Ma, Elena came" he said as he placed some of the flowers he had bought earlier.

"Elena wants to tell me again Ma. Mama's not tired of hearing Elena's story?" his tears could not stand it anymore. There were already several rounds of tears dripping into Ratna's tomb.

"Today Elena failed again Ma. Elena couldn't introduce that person to Mama. Elena failed to defend someone's Ma." rubbed off the tombstone that read Ratna there.

"Why is fate so happy to play Elena Ma?" he rested his head on the rock. I really want him to feel that person's caress again.

Elena sat in a chair near the park. He was always comfortable in that place.  He saw a swing that was not far from his sitting. 

I don't know why he always felt like he forgot something when he saw the swing. The more he remembered it, it would definitely have an impact on his increasingly aching head.

"What's really going on with this swing" near it the swing. As he palpated, he flashed the shadow of two children who were playing on a swing. One male and the other female.

"Aakhhh." screeched.

"Why does the shadow always appear if I see a swing. Who exactly is that little boy?Is that girl me? if that little girl is really me, then who's the boy I'm with?"

"Akhhh." again his head hurt, because he was over-exerting his memory.

"Why can't I remember it clearly." Elena was upset with herself.

A black car was parked not far from Elena's house. Whose car if not Erlang's. The view of Elena's empty home yard indicates the owner is leaving.

Returning from the office, Erlang always took the time to watch Elena's house to make sure that she was okay.

He was counting on Elena's arrival while checking some company shares.  

His mind really can't focus. Because all she knew for a few days was that Elena didn't go anywhere, but today without her knowing where Elena went.

There is a fear of fear if the woman does something bad. He wanted to find it but didn't know where to go. Finally he decided to wait.

"Since when your principles changed Elle, where you are always angry if someone else touches yours" said Erlang who already knows Elena's problem with Bima.

Elena set foot in her yard.His gaze was directed at the figure who walked up to her.

"Erlang" he said as he stepped closer to the man. Their distance is getting closer.

"What's up?" elena asked after their distance was only about a meter.

"I guess you need a friend"
