The Aroma of Briana
04. Stay
The night is getting quieter, it does not feel it has pointed at midnight exactly at 12 pm, Briana and the man sitting opposite the man could only bow his head while Briana watched from head to toe the man in her heart said ‘ this man is handsome too, jeez Briana your mind do not worry focus on the core of the initial problem’.
Helping her long breath and thumping that was clenching her right hand to her mouth, Briana who wanted to start the beginning of the conversation with the man
“ echem can I ask you something about you? But if my question is presumptuous and inappropriate do not answer yes and let me know if you feel uncomfortable“ the man who had lowered his head finally raised his head and nodded his head while looking at Briana.
Briana is aware that the two of them are uncomfortable with each other but she has to ascertain who the mysterious man is.
“ Whose name are you?” Briana finally asked the first question as to what the name of the mysterious man was.
“my name Akles”
“Acles?” a good name Briana said in her heart.
“ Yes Akles Gamemmon, your name? The man ventured to ask Briana's name apparently he was also curious who the malaikan who had helped him.
“ oiya you can call me Briana, why can you be like this and you live where and how can you be here eh I mean at the station earlier?”
“ I'm actually in trouble, though, I cowardly want to run away from the problem not finding the solution first my mind is screwed up until I think this world is over so I intend to kill myself and want to crash myself into crete and me also unconsciously my hand hurt because anything also does not know. Suddenly you come pull my hand and I just realized and somehow I got here also I do not know”.
Briana who heard Akles' answer was still confused by the ambiguous answer.
“What is it that you have and you have not answered your address where you live?”
“ I'm ashamed to say the disaster that has overflowed me“
‘shame, shame why him? Disaster that makes shame what do not he impregnate children people continue him to run away do not want responsibility. Wait he said he wanted to run and do misfortune and shame don't let him be right, if true can woe me’
“ Briana did you hear my words? Are you sleepy?” apparently Briana was dumbstruck and even concluded her own conclusions and was immediately shocked to hear the words of Akles who thought if he did not listen and even thought if Briana was sleepy even though she daydreamed Akles' answer to shame answer what disaster is.
And at once Briana stood up from her seat involuntarily uttering in a somewhat taut tone that might sound a bit vulgar
“ don't you impregnate people's children and you run away, so you say this is a disaster even I ask what calamity you answer to shame, yes, it is a shame to have impregnated a child and now you even run away from the problem right! I even brought you here alone. Please do not like you are the same as me, I can report you to the police loh”
hearing the words of Briana Akles confused not understand why Briana could accuse him of impregnating children even dating him he had never how he could impregnate children people.
“hah I do not understand what you are saying, why can you accuse me like that?”
Briana, who was increasingly confused by the akles' unshakable reaction, looked confused and made Briana sigh long, she stood up and immediately sat back to hold her head using both hands, a sign that she was dizzy and confused not understand.
Akles who saw Briana's behavior immediately responded he only understood if his speech made Briana misunderstand.
“wait for you to misunderstand Briana” with sign language Akles both hands waved, hearing Akles' words, Briana immediately turned to look at Akles with a confused face and immediately furrowed her eyebrows
“ actually I am embarrassed for this story to you even to everyone embarrassed that if I confess, but you even misunderstand, it is my fault also if it is not clear the story is ambiguous, even telling an ambiguous story, sorry “
Briana who heard Akles' explanation that had not been resolved with a trembling voice, Aklespun clenched both hands and Briana also saw Briana understand if Akles was heavy to tell her the situation but anyway Briana should know, otherwise it seems like Briana is heavy to allow Akles to spend the night at her house.
“ If you are heavy for stories and uncomfortable not to tell, although I actually want to know so that it is also safe, you understand what I mean“
Akles nodded his head. “ Yes I understand, but I am also confused I am a bad person or not because of this problem, I actually got a disaster. The company that I had built up went bankrupt even without any residuals, the house that I bought with my hard work was even confiscated by the property bank of my company also confiscated even the workers were doing a demo because the wages paid this month were not appropriate, so I run from there I am ashamed to tell this disaster to you and others because I am broke I failed to live this business I am ashamed”.
Unknowingly Akles imagined the situation he was living. After telling it to Briana the sound of small cries began to be heard teardrops began to drip.
Hearing Akles Briana's explanation immediately fell silent feeling guilty how could he directly accuse Akles of impregnating people's children and did not want responsibility. As guilt felt, Briana immediately gave a tisue and immediately shifted the seat to calm Akles stroked her shoulder elus.
“ Sorry I have accused you who are not not” Akles directly received a tissue given by Briana, Akles who heard an apology speech immediately nodded his head.
Akles immediately wiped his wet cheek from tears using the tissue given by Briana earlier.
“I'm sorry if I told you a vague story that made you suspect me”
“ yes it's okay even I am sorry to accuse you who are not not” Briana directly holding Akles' hand using both hands, making Akles surprised his hand was held tightly by Briana to appease Akles as soon as he immediately saw Briana's visibly guilty face.
“ Briana please allow me to stay here for a while, I promise I will not make you trouble, I do not know myself and do not know ashamed to ask for your help again when you have helped me a lot” Akles pleaded with a low voice and glassy eyes, he said, Briana who could not bear to see him immediately nodded her head and took off her grip that had been holding Akles' hand.
“ yes rest easy you can temporarily stay here but you can not enter my room without my permission “
“iya definitely, thank you very much I do not know how so that I can repay your kindness this”
“ easy if you want to repay my kindness, you just think about how you can rise again from this slump and rebuild your business so successful again, it seems like it's night time we rest, tomorrow we think of”
“ah yes for sure I will find the solution” make Akles' heart calm and smile.
“You've been so for a while you slept on the sofa yeah, because my room was just one impossible right if you sleep in the room too, too, actually there are two rooms just because I live alone so the room is emptied only where to store unused items or can be called barnlah”
“ yes it's okay even I sleep here it's very grateful”
“Yasudah once I entered the room first ya” after chatting, Briana turned slowly towards the room with awkward embarrassment because she was the first time men had stayed at her house, when he was in the room he hurriedly opened the contents of his closet looking for a blanket and immediately took a pillow also to be used by Akles, not long after Briana came out again from his room carrying a pillow and blanket for Akles.
Briana slowly walked towards the middle room where Akles was she also saw that Akles had not yet lay down to sleep, still sitting with his head down while squeezing his head with both hands making him not have the heart.
Akles who heard the footsteps of Briana who came out again from his room immediately sat up immediately to see Briana with a face that asked.
“This blanket and pillow you can use. Your kasian must be very tired so it is more comfortable also if make a pillow and blanket” Briana directly give a pillow and blanket to Akles, Hearing Briana's words made Akles smile and grab a pillow and blanket using both hands.
“One more time thank you very much ya”
“iya the same as when I went into the room, you do not daydream tomorrow again think of how to handle your problems so you have to sleep so that your physical and mental condition improves yes, you have entered first”
Akles nodded his head and smiled as well as Briana smiled shyly and turned around slowly entering from her room, Akles who saw Briana had entered the room and had closed the door of his room he obeyed Briana's words to immediately lie down and sleep he hoped that what was said by Briana was right and that she was good just tomorrow, don't forget he prayed for Briana who had helped him like an angel.
Arriving Briana in the room he immediately closed the door of the room did not forget to lock it apparently Briana was still afraid if Akles wanted to do strange to him.
“Ah tired today, why feel so long yes today many unexpected events even unexpected I brought a man to stay at my house, I, fall down how if someone else on tau must be excited, especially the ex-fuck, he must think that I also cheated like him. It's important that I sleep first, lie down finally I touch the mattress and how tired today”
Briana went to the bed, stretched her body, slowly sat on the bed and pulled the blanket and lay down, and closed her eyes as she remembered something she had forgotten,, immediately he felt the palpation of his mattress flipping the blanket and the pillow finally met which he forgot was his phone.
“Gosh god I forgot” immediately pulled the eel “ a lot of people who called uh who sent chat also apparently a lot duh sorry”
Briana immediately opened her phone with a lying position she immediately called someone
“heem first we first call Alice must be she is worried or even not even akh not raised anymore what do not she have fallen asleep, natural anyway if he does not pick up my phone is already midnight people have also been sleeping right hah try to call alice again who knows this time lifted”
Briana turned out to call her best friend but has not been raised as well, Briana decided to call the second time hopefully this time raised by Alice.
“ Hello who is this?” finally lifted by Alice but with a limp tone apparently true if Alice is sound asleep her voice just lift heavy.
“ it's me Alice, Briana. Sorry to have told you at midnight”
“hah who is Briana I do not recognize her such a person is not my best friend” heard Briana's voice apparently made Alice upset and even she admitted if she did not recognize Briana.
“don't be so Alice I'm really sorry I want to tell you everything I've been through today, that's why I just got to tell you not because I forgot you really” Briana convinced Alice to listen to her words.
“ What's the quick say try you see what time you call it does not have a heart” apparently Alice is still upset with Briana
“Alice I broke up with Basil he cheated and I just got home hpku bagku left behind at the hospital so I did not tell you I also went back to the hospital to take my stuff but I have not checked it, after arriving at my new home I checked my phone turns out you call a lot and send me a chat. Sorry Alice”
with a soft tone of speech heard the words of Briana who broke up from Basil and turned out to be caused by Alice's affair immediately added emotion and annoyance.
“ Apaaaaa you broke up” with a loud voice made Briana stay away from her ears
“ dare he cheats on you and you just told me”
“sorry Alice, my mind is messed up, even I almost killed myself, my mind is screwed up, I can't imagine what's good and what's not.
“ Aaah is so stupid my friend, keep you still alive now not so kill yourself? with whom he cheated do I want to break his leg, who is the woman****** that ? “
Alice responded with a loud tone of annoyance
“apparently you are also a fool Alice, if I have committed suicide and then who called you at midnight tonight?, I also do not know who the woman is, I asked Basil who the woman was but he just kept quiet and did not answer what. That's what frustrates me”.
“what don't you ghost Briana huh?“
hearing Alice's words made Briana laugh
“haha don't be stupid Alice where there are ghosts can call” hearing Briana's laughter makes Alice feel a little calm
“you've gone to sleep first it's night I'm also sleepy tomorrow again tell all, tomorrow I go to your home”
hearing Alice want to go to her house tomorrow, immediately make Briana panic she just remembered that there is a man in her house that is Akles, Briana also has not told her meeting with Akles to Alice
” do not be at my house, tomorrow I will go to your place tomorrow afternoon I am there, morning I keep because”
“ok well yasudah I hung up the phone yes I want to continue sleeping again, remember Briana you do not cry again”
“ah yes sorry Alice, I closed ya” tut sound marked briana ended her call with Alice.
Briana pulled the blanket until it covered her body only the remaining face was visible, while hugging the bolster and slowly began to cry again considering she had broken up with Basil and even cheated on him, the pillow was soaked by his cries that he fell into a deep sleep.
