Not Glass Cans

117. ElGar's Hotel - Batu City

Eve in the morning in Malang is very cold piercing. Especially with the window of the room that I opened since the end of dawn, the more biting to the bone I felt.

A moment of nostalgia considering the time to climb the mountain. It was like being able to temporarily freeze the trouble I brought while riding. Although it will warm up again after descending, and even hotter when returning home. Still I re-climb without getting bored, even addicted.

So too now. I frozen while heartbroken over Garrick's coming and going from my house last night, through the cold coming in through my bedroom window.

Although I wanted to, I held my dream of climbing three and a half years ago. I made a sweet promise to my father when he was sick, no longer going up the mountain. And soon my father died. So, I will keep my promise.

Regretting and feeling guilty for Garrick who must have been very disappointed in me. He came so far to see me. But what recompense he got from me. From my house.. Although actually it is not my absolute fault, only I am less firm to behave to mother and mas Nino.

This is my weakness, being too open to anyone. My mountain nature carried and attached to my real life until now. My adventurous spirit is blind to situations and conditions. Sometimes I mislead, forgetting how to behave. Juan's incident should be enough to make me a deterrent and teary-eyed. But, i... Garrick..

I was tired and content to cry about my relationship with Garrick floating back in obscurity. Garrick's phone is off. The message I sent from last night, no sign has been received yet, let alone read it. Ah, sorry this hurts.. Garrick is now gone out of nowhere. My misunderstandings and mistakes do not end in conversation.. Hanging without clarity.. Ah, why my love relationship is still complicated and endless.. I want to be happy soon!

...🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢...

Chequek!

"Loh, S..! Wanna go where? You are cute..?! I'm from the salon!" My mom was so excited, like she was waiting for me to get out of the room. And I think I'm seducing me right now.

"Friendly house." I grabbed my mom's hand and kissed her as usual. But I was heavy and lazy to talk to her, my heart still hurts.

"Breakfast before going out, nduk...?!" My mother was standing on the side, I was wearing my high shoes.

"Later on." I hurriedly ignored my mother. The sound of tin.tin from GoCar subscriptions that have come and can not wait.

"Si,..! Ojo home night yo, nduk..!" Ah, theory..

I left my mother without greetings as I always say before leaving her. I wish my mother would reflect and introspect her unfair attitude towards me.

Last night, after Garrick left the house, I went into my room and cried uncontrollably. And come out again when I think Mas Nino has come home. The moment I was waiting for finally arrived. I often opposed my mother. But never do as long as there are others.

I had a fight with my mom when I protested her attitude during Garrick's visit last night. My mother insisted that it was for my own good. So that Garrick doesn't come to see me again and doesn't expect me.

The reason is, Garrick is not Javanese, my mother does not like. My mom's afraid that Garrick would take me. I don't want to leave and lose me. Salsa is far from him and it is often regretted.

My mom got mad when I told her that Garrick and I were in love. Cries and complaints began to pour out from his lips. Then I can't stand it. I left again in the room with half I slammed my door. We both cried... My mother was out of the room with her disappointment, I was in the room with all my sadness..

...🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢...

"Where are we sliding this way, Miss Elsi..?" Mas Bagus, the name of the GoCar driver reprimanded me.

"To the Rock, mas. That project from yesterday." We glanced for a moment through the glass hanging on it.

"No more rice boxes, mbak?" Mas Bagus is far above me, forty years old. But always polite to me.

"Project workers there are no mas. The building is already stretched." I fixed my glasses. My eyes are so puffy, like they've been stung by a thick bee.

"Well, how are you going to get there, Mbak?" Mas Bagus kept kepo with his tanyanya.

"Interview. I'm applying, there's a vacancy and I'm interested. So I'm trying." Actually was lazy to talk.., but mas Bagus asked me again.

"Oohs. I'll wish you a final pass !" Good man exclaimed at me.

"Aamiinu. Thanks, mas!" I answered the good cry from the glass above.

"You win the final, get ready to pick up, mbak..!" Mas Bagus added his support.

"Ready, mas!" I also chimed in.

...🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢...

Last night when I was crying, after a fight with my mother, there was a message coming in on my phone. From Armand, informing me that my application file passed the initial selection stage. And the interview schedule that he said was three days away so tomorrow.

And today, here I am now... Meet the receptionist selection call, at this new hotel. Mas Nino's offer to be his assistant was no longer thought of.

And what makes me more excited, if elected, receptionist employees will get supporting facilities. That is, a hotel room that can be occupied while working as an employee in the hotel. I want to pull over from my house and my mother for a while.

Long ago... Whether this is a hobby or a bad habit, I will run to the mountains, join a friend when I find trouble at home.

So was that time, when Juan came to propose to me through my mother. Because stepping aside to climb is no longer the solution, then stay away from my right choice. Sail far across the ocean to Batam. Because it took me a long time to clear up my problems. And I never thought, that's where I got a new problem and now it's winding me up.

The rat road next to the building, where I went in and out with GoCar during the inter-city, was completely closed and no longer visible. It has been replaced with a high wall fence and without gaps, without holes.

And now mas Bagus is turning towards the hotel gate at the front of the building. Which I never saw either. Mas Armand always forbade if I wanted to try to get around the building.

...🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢...

The magnificent building and looks bright behind the gate at a glance looks quiet. There was only a security who rushed over when he saw me at the gate.

Security invited me into the building, which I now follow in the back. As I walked, I washed my eyes with a magnificent new building. This hotel building is very beautiful nature. Painted walls of green color with gardens and shady plants. It feels like being in a city park. And enough to spoil my eyes. Ah, if I pass the interview, happy.. I love the atmosphere of this hotel, green.. Oh, mountain..

My eyes caught the inscription of the name of the hotel that was plastered in the middle of the top of the building wall, the front. ElGar's Hotel-Stone City, that's the sound of the name of the hotel I read.

Citing the name of the hotel, it felt like I was feeling. I spelled again the name of the hotel ..ElGars...My haluku soul thrashed. If only it was Elshe Garrick.. Ha.ha.. Ngarep, where is possible... Just a wry smile I created.

Gaarrick, where are you? Is there no apology for me? Is my mother's behavior also so nauseating to you? Feel like a candidate for cinderella who is void and failed. My path is heavy and shaky. No.no.. I need to get excited. Don't be tired. There'll be an apology for me. My soul mate, you are mine. Hi Garjuuu, where are you? Huh..My spirit is me !

...🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢...

My name was finally called. Somehow Armand put my application file. What is clear is that among the twenty suitors, and about to be passed by only six, I am the last to be summoned. My patience is really tested.

The name of HRD was mbak Ririn, tall and beautiful, thirty-five years old. As well as another Tini mom, sweet-faced and smaller than Ririn's mom, but very nice to see. Thirty years old. That's how the data I read on the wall. And then I matched the guy's face.

"Shhh..Tin! It just fits on display." Samar I heard Ririn's whisper behind the cubicle.

I was told to sit away after the interview. Joined all my friends. But now I'm the one sitting closest to the HRD cubicle.

"agree. Although wear a veil, padu padu dress her in. I liked. Check out the last one, ma'am!" This is a whisper from Tini's mother.

"Yes, don't hurry. How about it, okay what? That's important too.." Ririn's voice came back I heard. My radar really straightened.

"Luwes. Cas cis cus. Sat set, das des, he answered." Tini's mother returned. Ah, tense.. Is that what they are talking about?

"But it's hard to smile, Tin. The main thing is a smile." It's Ririn's voice.

"But his smile was smoother. That's great.. Just broke up last time, mbak.." Degh's..Oh, ma'am Tini..Hopefully what you're talking about is me. And you ticked my beer. Then I can use my room facilities and successfully get out of the way safely here. Aamiins.

Leg.deg...Too hopeful, make my heart beat impatiently. Silent, silent and tense as you wait for this escaped call to end soon.

Ririn's mother who had disappeared out, had entered back into the room. But he's not alone. A big man with him. They seem to have just ended a conversation.

Uh...Her...That man I've seen! Duh, the group of directors in my head, hurry up you docked. Tell me who that guy is.. Yep! I recall. The man was Garrick's assistant on his yacht. Ton, Hartono! I'm sure my memory is not wrong. Then, why is he here?! Is Garrick here? Choosing to stay at this new hotel?

"Numbers!" Oh, mbak Ririn has started to name the ones that escaped. I wasn't...

"Bigg!" Ah, not anymore..

" lina!" Not particularly...

" Nian !" Duh...Not anymore...

"Musty!" Lemess.., not myself..

"Elis!" Uh, similar... Did Ririn say wrong? Elshe, but her tongue is kesleo so Elis? Ah, but not wrong.The one with the name Elis has come forward..

His lemes, his disappointment, his broken spirit... Talking to those I heard earlier and had soared my hopes, it was even more saddening...

"Elsii!! Elshe!!" Degs..Maak! My name's..

"I..!" I'm going to stretch my right hand up.

"Elsi, please come out following Mr. Hartono. There's another job opportunity for you!" Degh.., Ririn's mom directed me to come out following Ton's assistant. Another job for me? Whahuh? Is Ton still working for Garrick? Will I be brought to meet him?

Degh.deg... I sprang up and walked closer to Ton with anxious chest full of hope. Ton stood waiting and smiled nodding at me.

📚📚 My good Reader, only this is how my update can be. And hasn't changed since. Only difference, it used to be two chapt, now one chapter.

I used to break down two chapters, to quote you a lot of likes. But when I realized that the number of chapters was a lot, but it was still far away, I panicked. Honestly, I have not been level with the novel whose chapter is a lot.

So, I'm trying to end up with a chapter that's been overdone. For those who are talking, start.. Hi.hi.hi.hi..😉😄 thanks.. But I always avoid the word mbulet. Be patient.. Please read my update...!😘😉🙏✌❤
