The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 20 - See You

"So pretty, man." Lily's voice behind Melati. Melati just finished getting ready to go to Elvan's house. His face, hair, cheek eyes. Already, safe.

"Thank you, Ly." Melati glanced at Lily. He grabbed his bag, not forgetting that special hanger.

"Sister Elvan must be fascinated, look at my big brother," Lily said again. She was standing next to Lily.

"Acharmed? It can be.." said Melati.

"Know, brother, still can't believe it's the most popular high school student we have a crush on my brother." Lily's smile expands.

"Yes, where does my sister know... Don't think.." said Melati. He stepped out of the room towards the front room. Lily is behind him.

"Are you ready?" ask her mother who is sitting reading a book.

"Yes, Mom. Just wait for Rani," said Melati.

And Ranita's car arrived at their house. Soon Melati and Ranita leave. Papa Ranita was driving, his mother was standing in front. Ranita and Melati sit in the back.

"Tante is happy Melati can come along. Ranita became friends" said Ranita's mother, Dewita.

"Yes, Aunt. I am also happy to be with Ranita. Kangen his laugh." Melati said while looking towards Ranita.

"His laughter is like that of lightning, thunderous," said papa Ranita.

Mama, Melati, and Ranita laughed at that. The trip to the Edgar family home was about half an hour. Hours like this the streets are quite crowded so a bit choked. Arriving at the Edgar family residence, luxury cars were already lined up. Outside the fence of the house is also full, especially inside.

At 6 o'clock they arrived. Elvan's parents welcomed guests in a friendly manner. Tirta looked handsome and handsome, very much like Azka. Erika is also graceful and beautiful. The appearance is quite simple but still the impression of class is there. Elvan's face seems to be a fusion of his mom and dad. While Farel looks more like mama, that's what Melati saw.

Elvan sits in a chair for the family with Farel. Next to them were several other families, Elvan's grandfather and grandmother. Azka was talking to some people, probably her business partner. And there's Mr. Diko. Yes, he was Elvan's. There was a beautiful woman next to him holding a daughter for about five years. Hmm, that's Mr. Diko's wife and son.

As soon as he saw Melati coming with Ranita's family, Elvan could not help but look at Melati. He wanted to quickly meet her. Dear MC starts the show immediately. Nothing that night was too special. The MCs simply open the event conveying the intent of the event, asking one of the guests to lead a prayer opening event. Then Tirta gave a welcome and the purpose of the event was the silver wedding thanksgiving of the Edgar family. Also grateful for Azka in her business. Tirta did not explain the details of Azka's problem.

Then the MCs ask Tirta and Erika to cut the birthday cake, giving it to the nearest person. Their parents and children. Afterwards the three brothers, Azka, Elvan, and Farel sang a song to their parents. Elvan played guitar, Farel played cajon, and Azka played violin. It turns out they all love music. And her third voice blends together, harmonious and beautiful. Jasmine until stunned. Ranita also looks so happy to see the Edgar trio.

Tirta and Erika continued to smile happily. Tirta unceasingly held his wife's hand in a friendly manner. Everyone present was also excited and had to see the three handsome children of the Edgar family expressing their regret to their parents.

After that guests are welcome to enjoy the banquet. People started to storm the food stand. Some guests also brought their children. Some are the same age as jasmine, some are more mature or also smaller. While Melati and Ranita choose to sit back. They just take fruit salad. Still in line, so grab the main meal later. Elvan approaches Melati and Ranita.

"Thank you for coming" Elvan told the two friends. He's dashing with a dark blue shirt and a black suit without a button. He's got his tie off, but it's still cool.

"Yes, thank you for the opportunity to come, too" said Melati.

"Oh, Edgar's trio is amazing, yes, his voice, his music.Know El, my heart feels torn to shreds to hear you sing." With the spirit of Ranita talking.

Melati and Elvan laughed. "Why not make your band? All out of singles or albums, I must have first bought and promoted, deh," said Ranita still fiery.

"Well, don't think, tuh.." said Elvan.

"I'm called mama." Ranita saw her mother waving towards her. "I went there first. You guys need some time, I guess." And he rushed to his mother and father.

"You don't eat?" Elvan sees Melati just taking a fruit salad. And almost finished up on the small plate in front of him.

"So it's still a lot. So I don't want to eat yet" replied Melati.

"Wait, yeah..." Elvan goes. I don't know where to go.

Melati looked around. People talk, laugh and joke. Never imagined he could come to the family event was like this.But, although fairly rich family Edgar did not show excessive. Actually they could have rented a hall in a star hotel. In fact, they choose to hold an event in the yard of the house, a side garden that is quite spacious and beautiful.

Ranita was seen chatting with some of her papa partner's children while eating. He looks cheerful. He always has been. Melati also saw Mr. Diko sitting with his parents and papa mama Elvan. Then Azka, she seemed to be talking to a cute girl. That's Adista? The girl looked embarrassed. But it does not reduce its simple beauty and what it is.

"We eat, yuk." Elvan came with two plates of food. He offered one to Melati.

Elvan smiles. "Come along," he asked.

"Ehh... Where to?" Melati stood up and followed Elvan. He left the party area, continued to circle the house and headed for the quiet back garden. There are chairs and a garden table there. This park is smaller, but no less beautiful.

"I like to get bored for a long time at parties like that. Moreover, mama's friends must want to recognize her daughter. They're tired of it," said Elvan.

They sat there and started eating. Some menus that jasmine rarely eat at home. It was delicious, especially when I was hungry.

"You are beautiful" said Elvan, watching as Melati was busy eating.

Melati put down her spoon and saw Elvan. He smiled thinly. "Thanks." -."

"I'm a handsome guy, right?" elvan said while playing his eyebrows. Melati laughed and nodded. "But not enough to interest you, yeah..."

Melati glanced at Elvan and smiled faintly. "You don't know, my heart is wrestling because of your attitude" said Melati.

"Stay considered, anyway.." continued Elvan. Again, jasmine just smiled.

"You're leaving the day after?" ask Elvan.

"Yes. Three more days." Melati.

"Well, yeah." said Elvan again.

"Yes," said Melati firmly. He felt there was an uneasy tone in Elvan's voice.

"Continue, my God," said Elvan again. They eat without sound. No one's talking. Only occasionally did the sound of spoons and forks meet the plate.

Finish eating Jasmine looks around and also upwards. The sky was very bright with the moon almost full. There are quite a number of stars and thin clouds in some parts. Is beautiful.

"Thank you again, for coming. It's like our farewell night, hee.." said Elvan. He stands.

"Together, El. We back?" ask Melati. Back to the party.

"Want to take both. But Ranita can be confused looking for you later" replied Elvan.

"Yes, you're right. He doesn't know we're here, does he? " Jasmine stood up.

Just as Melati was about to lift the plate they had eaten, Elvan pulled her into his arms. Melati was shocked. He's not ready for this. His chest pounded suddenly. Elvan was very close to him. The guy is down because of their different posture. Melati's height was only slightly up to Elvan's neck. Elvan looked at him. Although dimly lit he could see the gaze within this handsome man.

"I'm gonna lose so much, Mel. I will miss you very much" he said. "Since I went to high school I've been watching you a lot. Until I was sure my heart was just looking at you, I told you. We'll be far away, but you have to believe I'm not going anywhere. And you'll stay here." Elvan placed Melati's right hand on her chest and still held the girl's left hand.

Melati fell silent, not knowing what to say. Elvan is very gentle. There was a bit of fear, but also a sense of comfort greeting his heart which from earlier rumbled. Then Elvan brought her face closer and kissed Melati on the forehead. Not long. He let go of Melati.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" said the man. He picked up their old dinner plates and walked out of the garden. Jasmine followed. Jasmine's heart beat back.

"Oh, God, he kissed me on my forehead. I just shut up. What'sthis?" His heart asked, not understanding, erratically.

Just arriving at the party venue, Ranita waved towards Melati and Elvan. Melati.

"We're going home. I almost called you" Ranita said.

"Yes. We ate in the park next door" explained Melati.

"Come, we share a farewell with the Elvan family," Ranita asked. With papa mama Ranita they say goodbye to the parents of Elvan, Azka, and Farel, Elvan also Pak Diko. Elvan looked at Melati and then caught up with her.

"Mel, see you," he said. Without smiling.

"See you..." Melati. Then he chased Ranita and her parents who had been to the parking lot.
