Coming back from the Mall. El goes into the house immediately. The way he came home was very different from when he was about to leave. Lemes and not excited. The aunt was confused to see her employer look moody.
"night den, non" said aunt.
"night bi. Thanks for that." replied Nadira
They go inside.
"night Grandma, Cake, Mbok" they said.
They went to Grandma and Grandpa. Then Shake. Nadira chose to sit with them in the tv room.
"El go straight to the room yes, there is work to be done" said El pamit.
"you eat first" said Grandma.
"we ate Nek. I'm going upstairs, yeah" said El.
El went to his room.
They wonder what's with El actually?.
Why does he look so excited?. Not that he's seen Zafira. He should have been dong. But this is even lethargic.
Grandma, Grandpa and the other lady also knew that El loved Zafira. They even support him. If necessary they want to immediately propose to Zafira for El immediately. That's why they're always looking for ways to get Zafira to be with El.
"Saz, what's your brother doing?" ask Grandpa.
"it looks like a broken heart" Nadira said.
"broken heart? Why?" ask Grandma.
"did he have any real feelings for Zafira?" ask Grandpa.
"so the story El Nyatain love to neng Zafira but rejected it. Love clapping dong's hands?" said Si mbok
"Yes Allah. My grandson's love. Just now he wants to open his heart after his broken heart left dead fiancee. Now the heartbreak is again denied love." said Grandma sadly.
"that's not the story" said Nadira rectifying the minds of the parents.
"then?" ask Grandpa.
Nadira also told me what happened this afternoon at the Mall. And all the conversations. With nothing to subtract from or above. The old men also understood.
"what Fira said was not wrong either. Yes, we are women who want a companion like that" said Si mbok.
"yes really mbok. Moreover, Fira also has a dark past about romance. Maybe that's why he's more protective of himself so as not to return heartbroken" Nadira said.
"yes right. It means that only El is not strong enough to fight for his love. New times given such answers are weak. What if really rejected, it could be Nangis bombay him" said the Grandpa.
In contrast to Nadira and the parents continued their chat . Different things with El who was seen sitting on the edge of his bed. Zafira's words kept ringing in his ears. He recalled his closeness to Fira. It was hard to get close to the woman.
He seemed to have a barrier so that not a single man entered his heart. Every attention he gives seems to have no impact on his second relationship.
Lately he has been able to feel a little change. The chat was answered quickly. And they often rebuke when passing. However, that is still a reasonable stage between friends. Or subordinate to his superior.
El remembered how he liked Fira. Good attitude, to anyone. Loves helping. Friendly to everyone. Had he misinterpreted Zafira's attitude towards him.
Nyess.. It hurts to know if it turns out his feelings clapped one hand. To clear his mind El decided to soak in the bathroom while cleaning his body.
...****************...
The mentari is back shining. Ready to take on a new day. Bring a million hopes to every creature on this earth. A new day, new hope, new spirit. For some people to do it. But not a few of those who continue to do their activities but are reluctant to release their memories.
Today El decided to move forward. Although maybe he still can not completely close the old memories.especially his new hope that has just been broken. It feels like he can return to soar his hopes.
El tries to continue his activities. Refocused on his work. Perhaps in this way he could ease the tightness in his heart. When the step enters the company lobby many pairs of eyes are headed to him.
The employees who saw him one by one greeted him. Saying 'good morning'. El replied to his employees' good morning wishes.
Zafira and Kiya who were also absent were also looking towards El who had just come and was almost closer to him.
"Good morning sir" said Zafira and Kiya.
"yes. Morning" said El. Just look at it for a moment and leave.
Kiya was a little confused what was with El. had almost a week of such attitude towards Fira. Usually El always smiles when Fira and herself greet El every meet. Or El paused for a moment to just mince words with Fira. Because that is usually the case, and almost all employees of the division also know.
Today her attitude made Kiya even more curious. Not once did he feel that El seemed to be avoiding Fira a little. Looks like they have a problem. Butwhat?. Fira didn't tell the story either. It looks like he's going to find his own information. Because it's useless to ask Fira. Because it looks like Fira also does not understand this change in El's attitude towards him.
In his room, El tried hard to be able to focus on his work. It has been almost a week since he has had trouble focusing on his work. His feelings are upset to make his work messy.this greatly affects the performance of Anis. He was the one who was troubled to do the work of El.
El stared at the gallery on his phone. It looks like the late fiancee of the money she loves the most. For a week she missed her figure. The one who changed his world. A jolly figure full of jokes. His behavior was able to change the messy mood of El into a beautiful one.
"why Honey?. Why do you have to go? Didn't you get there look, I'm here so tormented miss you?" ask El pasa pictures on his mobile phone.
"why did you go?."
"Why don't you take me?. You know I'm here without you?. I lost hope with a thing called Love". El
Can't help his feelings of sadness. Her tears fell.
"I found him. A figure that can slightly make this wound feel better. But slowly I felt unsure if He could accept me. Like a kanu accepting me. I was just finding out that she still loves other people" El said.
"I have to how, baby?. I want to be free from this wound. Do I not deserve to be happy? Why do I have to fall in love with someone who still can't forget his past?" said El, looking so frustrated.
Nadira who was standing behind the door of the room El could hear clearly the screams of the brother's heart. He did not expect that his brother was now experiencing a turbulent feeling that was so torturous. It was true that Fira still could not let go of her past. But he also couldn't blame Fira for the injury that the older brother felt this time around.
