Not Glass Cans

109. Go home to Malang

Garrick looked at me fixedly and warmly, as warm as his hand held onto me. Our hands were indeed warm, not cold like when we were shaking hands in the mega hall this afternoon. The feeling of this hand follows the mood, if the heart is comfortable, calm, and happy, then the hand is also as warm as comfort in the chest.

"That's your wish? Married in your hometown in the city of Malang there?" Garrick kept looking at me, occasionally his jaw was hardened. Like something was thinking. Does Garrick mind?

"Yes..I really want to do it there. And I don't want to trouble my mother and relatives.." I soften my speech, hoping Garrick understands what I mean. I held my hand next to her touching her hand. Garrick immediately welcomed my hand.

"Alright, El. Means I'll have to stay a little while in Malang with you." Garrick talks like a murmur, softly. As if to doubt himself in his words. But my hand kept on holding.

"Yes, come to Malang. Do it there." I chimed in, that he might have faith and firmness. Garrick breathed deeply and strongly.

"OKAY. El.., whatever you want. I agree, I am willing to marry you in Malang. But if so, I can't go there immediately. There's a lot I want to do. Can you wait, El ?" Garrick patted my hand again, as if he were spreading my heart. Uh, Garju.sevindu too I'll wait!

"I'll wait for you in Malang. I'll wait for you to come to my town.." I gave this beautiful man in front with my smile. I wanted to scrape the blade to come after me.

Yes, I will go home to Malang to leave him. He came after me to marry me that seemed precious and beautiful. Rather than coming home together and getting married, it might surprise my mom.

"So, you're gonna fly to Malang first, El?" I shake my head and smile. Garrick was heard again taking a deep breath.

"Alright, El. I'll hook up soon." Tetiba I have shipwrecked again in his arms.

"Wait for me right, El. Don't try to stab me. Don't cheat.." Ah..Garrick, I just want to laugh. How long will it take him to catch up with me...Am I really the account followed?Ouwh, his big body is getting closer and closer to me..

Tok..!Tok..!Tok..!Tok..!Tok..!

The loud noise at the door, made us stiffly shocked for a moment. Before it ends stretch each other and take off the embrace slowly. Garrick and I looked at each other and smiled.

"Zay..." I called the good boy's name and Garrick nodded.

🐢🐢🐢🐍🐍🐍

Zayn came to the rooftop house after the big house in Batam Centre. Zayn, who plans to cross into Singapore tonight, postpones it tomorrow. I don't know for what reason I don't understand. We are now talking three.

"Zayn, thanks. You helped me right away. You're a great man!" The older siblings sit next to each other. The two sat back on the back of the sofa.

I put two cups of warm chocolate on their front desk.

"Don't flatter, bang. No matter how good I am, he still chooses you.." Zayn's words sounded flat. I'm afraid to meet Zayn. Maybe what he meant was me.

"Sorry, Zayn. I didn't mean to steal you. Your path is long, you're young. Different from me, Zayn. Maybe if Elsi wasn't my soul mate, I'd be a weathered bachelor forever. So, understand, let go.let me marry her. He's my choice, I love him, Zayn." Garrick said quietly and calmly with his distinctive soft heavy voice. Ah..the weathered guy?!

"Zay...Stop saying that in front of me. Elsi has agreed to marry me. Just waiting for time, we got married. She'll be your sister-in-law. From now on, you have to be polite. Keep your attitude and your words to him. Rest assured Zayn, one day, you will meet the right girl and at the right time. The woman you like and like." Ah, I didn't blink Garrick when I spoke. He could also give sweet advice from his lips to Zayn.

Zayn. But not sleeping, the eyelids were shaking the sign of the owner is still conscious. Patience with Zayn..You're a smart man, you know how your heart is. Like climbing.. Meet me, like I've reached the number one safe post.. But there are still and you have to meet the next sequence of climbing posts. So that you can reach the top safely, congratulations and complacency!

"Zay..You sleeping?!" Garrick called a little. The good boy had long since closed his mouth.

"El..!" Uh, Tetiba Zayn called me along with his closed eyes that opened.

"Yes, Zayn..Why?" I made a good call to Zayn.

"Well, after tonight, you get out of here. I mean, stay at the Sedan cafe. I don't want you to be like Anggun, hamidun !" Gaw..Zayn.mouthu..You think I'm gonna take it easy on your brother? I have a stand, Zayn.. Besides, you don't understand how tormented it is to live in my Sedan cafe on certain nights!

"Zay...! Watch your..You think I'm a bar-bar, brutal? I have my limits, Zayn. And Elsi.. Don't you equate with Grace. I have no doubt that she's a good girl who can take care of herself. You got it, Zayn?" Garrick spoke loudly and decisively. Staring at me briefly.

"Zay.." I called the good boy's name slowly. Zayn didn't answer, but kept looking at me.

"Zayn, I understand what you mean. Thank you for your attention and care for me. But don't worry, I'm only here tonight. That's you too.. And tomorrow, I'll be home, Zayn." Ah, it feels sad to talk this way to that good boy. Zayn also looked furrowed at me.

"What do you mean, El?" While throwing a question, Zayn moved quickly straighten his back and head. Sharply staring.

"Tomorrow I will return to Java, Zayn." Hearing my answer, Zayn widened his match eyes. Zayn's eyes were slightly narrowed.

"What, El..?! That fast? So tonight, the last time I saw you, El ?" Zayn's tone was so astonished in disbelief.

"Yes, really, Zayn.."

"Really, El, tomorrow?!" Uh, I was surprised by Garrick's voice. Usually softly calling me, this time loudly attacked me.

"Yes, boss Garrick. Tomorrow. I'll pack up tonight." Ah, saying the farewell sentence again, and this time with Garrick, my eyes will be watering glass without I can hold back.I immediately lowered my face, kept my eyes from him.

"El..." Garrick called. Kudongak. The glass water in my eyes was clean with the back of my hand.

"Yes..." Those brown eyes I looked at me. Ah, a piece of my chest was staring at him. Kulirik also Zayn, the good boy was also listening to me.

"If it's true tomorrow you fly home to Malang. Just go in your room. Rest now." Garrick pointed at me in a slightly stiff voice and there was a cold impression I heard. Is Garrick disappointed? Didn't we just talk.. Maybe I didn't expect it so suddenly when I pulled out. Ah, let. This was my plan.. I'm so sure, Garrick is my soul mate. I will definitely be followed to marry her. Garrick can't fool me..
