Sweet Story In Spring, Trouvaille

Heartbroken

Indifferently, Joelin kept her phone and went back to eating food in front of her. While Mickey still keeps an eye on every move Joelin's gerik.

Goedan stepped leisurely while pushing his suitcase. He had just arrived at one of Korea's international airports. His heart was pounding and feeling full, the same feeling every time Goedan stepped foot closer to Joelin's resting point. The girl really managed to control her whole heart. Even long weekend because of national holidays in China he now uses to visit Korea. Of course he still makes business meetings with his best friend, Vino as a reason to visit this country.

"She always sells expensive every time I go to Korea. But, he is so expensive that makes me pound." muttered Goedan inwardly.

The man smiled widely, the memories with Joelin in the strawberry garden again gushed in his head. His move was faster out of the airport after getting a taxi the man was now moving closer to the campus area Joelin.

"Gue is hungry.I am hungry..yok hunted." whiney beautiful girl who now walks lazily on Vino's side.

The maroon-red dres that wrapped her white skin made the girl look radiant. Hells matching the height of 15 adds to the girl's perfect casting. His long, black hair was now tied to a ponytail. While one of his hands was busy holding a white umbrella, to protect his skin from the scorching heat of the early autumn sun.

"Aluna, why do you have to wear an umbrella?" ask Vino.

"HOT brother."

"This is already autumn, it is impossible for the heat that there is cold times.Look at that your clothes are also less material so."

"At least use an umbrella to protect Aluna's skin from UV rays."

"Pantes aja Goedan do not want to be the same loe. centil and very complicated."

"If you don't support yourself, how can Aluna win?"

"Win? are you fighting again?"

"It's the same kampung girl named Joelin."

"Let's just calm Na. This business let brother finish."

The two then stepped down the sidewalk in silence. They choose to be busy with their own thoughts. Aluna is upset at Joelin not admitting her marriage to Goedan, but a month ago when the girl contacted her via DM IG, it looks as if Joelin will help her approach Goedan.

"Based on greedy women, I think you're a good man. Turns out I was wrong." Inner Aluna.

Back in Aluna's memory when Joelin and herself make a video call by IG, there Joelin tries to introduce her husband to Aluna and convince Aluna that the girl should pursue her love.

"Don't daydream Na, let's hear your taste." Vino's voice pulls Aluna back from her memories.

"eh.." muttered Aluna.

"Daddy, if you're a bad brother, you still want to be my sister?"

"Oh my goodness, what's the question?"

"Gue is serious."

"You want the killer's sister even once, the brother is still Aluna's sister, even if you have AIDS, it won't change anything."

"Btw, don't be weird. Inget, brother again in the country of people." said Aluna, a memory of the past made him shudder in horror.

"If you're kayaking brother again?"

"Don't get to my sister, but if it becomes a necessity, Aluna still loves big brother. Aluna will be sad because she has no power to protect her sister."

"Protecting it is the duty of sister Na, not you" said Vino lirih.

Aluna and Vino's lives look so perfect in the eyes of others, but not for both. Born as siblings, but separated when they were adopted from an orphanage. Thankfully the relatives of Aluna's adoptive parents happen to adopt Vino, which is how the two sisters became legally cousins.

Having a lot of money since leaving the orphanage does not necessarily make their lives full of happiness. Luckily Vino was adopted by a mentally healthy family. Unlike Aluna, the girl's adoptive mother suffers from bipolar, Aluna is often tortured. Eventually Aluna became a little boy. Then as an act of rebellion over the condition of Aluna, Vino became a student who acted mischievously and repeatedly made trouble at his school. Both parents foster Vino until overwhelmed. Eventually Vino's foster parents make a deal to bring Aluna from her adoptive family. Unfortunately, the heartbreak of losing Aluna made her adoptive mother even more ill, and eventually committed suicide. Events that make Vino constantly muddled with guilt.

Goedan stepped into the cafe that is now familiar to him. He chose to sit in one corner of the cafe, sitting facing the door. That position makes Goedan more free to look in and out of the Cafe. He was waiting for Aluna. Actually this is an appointment with Vino, but the man reasoned to be busy, inevitably Goedan had to hang out with Aluna tonight. Goedan did not know the secret of his best friend's family. All he knows is that Aluna is Vino's cousin who was taken care of by Vino's parents because of her deceased mother. They have been friends since the beginning of Junior High. Despite knowing Vino's mischief at school, Goedan remained friends with the man and became the only friend who supported Vino while struggling to change into a better person

A familiar silhouette enters Goedan's retina. The girl was stepping into the cafe, the girl who triggered her heartbeat. Joelin walks right side by side with a man who looks not so foreign. Then they chose to sit at one of the tables near the door after talking to the cafe waiter. Goedab was still watching the two men, until finally a servant handed over their package of orders. Joelin and the man stood up before stepping out of the cafe.

Goedan's heart ached as he watched how suddenly the man's arm coiled up possesively at Joelin's waist. While Joelin? without rejection the girl even adjusts her steps with the man who is now walking side by side with her. The sight was the worst thing Goedan witnessed today.

Heart hurts. "Who is that guy? how dare he?" goedan.

"Hi brother, don't digress." a voice resuscitated him.

"Eh, Aluna.it's been a while?"

"New to brother. Her brother was busy daydreaming."

"Eh. sorry. Sit down yok." said Goedan while scratching his head that did not fall.

There was no smile that he could share now. Heart pain. Heart's broken. Whoever that man is, he's not happy to see his treatment of Joelin.

"So Aluna met a friend in front" said Aluna broke the silence.

"Friends? you have friends in Korea?"

"Cuman happened to meet several times, and also happened to be her native indo kak. but her husband is Korean kok."

"oh.." said Goedan not interested.

"Sir Vino also knew the woman." Aluna fishing rod now.

"Isn't he?"

"It's a college student, sister Vino. If it is not wrongly named... Joelin.." said Aluna deliberately.

Deg. A joelin? that name, did he hear wrong? was Joelin with that guy? How come? this must be a different Joelin. Suddenly Goedan wanted to go home, he didn't want to hear anything tonight. Especially if it's about Joelin. But the man struggled to contain himself to sit there and enjoy his drink with Aluna.
