The White Heart Jasmine
Chapter 23 - Total Confirmation



Weekends. It was the most fun time for Evan. He gave up all the fatigue after five days struggling with books, laptops, questions and schoolwork. He promised this weekend he would go refreshing with Farel and Azka. Usually they will spend time playing basketball together or swimming. Sometimes I play music in the family studio.


But this weekend Azka invited her two sisters to camping at one of the tourist attractions in Batu City, Coban Rondo. Evan and Farel are excited. Since Friday night they've been ready. They plan to leave Saturday morning, just overnight, back Sunday afternoon.


"Why did you choose this weekend? Can you back up next week, huh?" Erika grumbled at her children who had already raised their belongings to the trunk of the car.


"Ga can, Ma. Next week I have a big show at the cafe. There must be control" Azka replied.


Erika also likes to adventure in the wild. Since the children are small, if there is time they like to go camping together.


"Yes.how else. I have a schedule today, until tonight. Tomorrow also papa there is an invitation to his friend's children to marry, so the mother must accompany," said Erika still not relieved.


"We go first, Ma." Azka hugged mom. Elvan and Farel took turns to embrace their mother. Then they get in the car.


"You guys careful. Has anyone missed?" said Erika.


"It's done" said Elvan. "Bye, Maa.."


Azka runs her car leaving the house. The trip to Batu takes about an hour and a half. Not so jammed because it was still early morning. But starting at 10 o'clock usually if the road weekend is getting crowded.


Along the way they talked and joked with each other. The three of them looked very familiar even though their ages were a bit far apart. Azka was 23, Elvan was 16, and Farel was 12.


"Rel, guess what kind of animal you like to nongol on TV?" asked Azka while driving while watching the road.


"Yes. the animal that was shot" Farel replied.


"Lack of fit" Azka argued.


"What an animal, yes..." Farel seemed to think.


"Binn movie" Azka said.


"Ohh..." Farel.


Azka and Elvan.


"Why is the sun so clear during the day?" ask Elvan.


"It is the light of day" replied Farel.


Azka ngakak again. "Farel..you are a game-game jago but if you guess plain very, yes..."


"Huh? Did I say wrong?" farel was confused.


Elvan is out. "Ga's wrong. You're right."


"If according to brother?" change Farel ask.


"If noon does not look clear, spy his name," said Azka.


"Aaahhh, you can do that, yes." said Farel lugu.


His two brothers laughed and heard that.


At 9 in less than 10 minutes they arrive at their destination. The cold instantly ambushed their skin as soon as it got out of the car. Soon they unpacked the baggage. First Azka and Elvan set up a tent. Farel helped you learn. Their tent is quite large so only bring one tent. Once the tent is ready, they tidy up the luggage inside the tent.


Then they walked down the road to the waterfall. The streets in this tourist spot have been neatly arranged. So visitors have no trouble getting to the location of the waterfall. There were some other visitors coming. Even the campers like Elvan and his two brothers.


They took photos at several places around the waterfall. Relax and get wet


cold but very cool. After they were satisfied they returned to the tent. Shower and have lunch together.


"Later tonight we eat grilled corn, yeah... It's a nice afternoon that's fresh" Azka said.


He chose to buy a hodgepodge and drink warm orange water. Elvan choose young coconut without ice and curry rujak. Farel likes rawon and warm tea. They eat well. After playing in the waterfall does make an appetite.


"So I'm riding the flying fox, okay?" pinta Farel on Azka.


"Come on. Brother wants to too," Azka replied excitedly.


Finally, they went up on the slide using the rope. It was so exciting hanging above, crossing the forest from above. After that they also ride horses that are provided for visitors around the area. The area in this tourist spot is guarded its beauty. Indeed here and there has been built in a modern way, but still the natural part is still felt. There are also some villas that are rented out. But more exciting camping according to Elvan. Bede sleeps in a tent with in a villa. The natural atmosphere is more pronounced when lying in a tent, closer to the ground.


Later that night while eating grilled corn, Azka and Elvan chatted. These moments are the most fun for them. Farel was engrossed with his guitar sitting in front of the tent.


"You're still in contact with Melati?" ask Azka.


"This few weeks is rarer, brother. He's been busy going to college and I've also started the final exam preparation" Elvan replied.


"You're sure Melati can you conquer? So far he still thinks you're a friend. Continue to be far away gini, difficult communication with him," Azka said again.


"I'm sure" said Elvan calmly. "Let's see, I don't know why I'm so sure. He doesn't like me yet. But he was also kind, not rejecting me. He's still considering me. But you can, just look."


"While who is it, Fara? He calls you every day. Have you switched hearts? She's also nice, pretty, that's it, deh..." Azka talks about one of the children of their papa friends who are in love with Elvan.


"No. I get rid of him chatting that often. Ask uda eat, again what, PR already, do not forget to take vitamins yaa. uda kayak mama aja," said Elvan.


"Yes.haa..." Azka laughed loudly.


"Sometimes lazy reply to his chat. Want me to block the number" said Elvan. He added butter on top of his grilled corn.


"Sabar laa's... He gets bored for a long time. You also want to go out of town after High School, right?" azka.


"Hmmm..." Elvan bit the grilled corn in his hand. It's really good to taste.


"What about Azka? Getting closer to Vina?" replace Elvan ask. Vina is one of Azka's college friends. They were very familiar and it seemed like Vina liked Azka. So did Azka there was interest in Vina.


"It's just getting further away" Azka said. "I almost shot him, but it turns out I saw him often alone with Kelvin. I think Kelvin likes Vina too." Kelvin is Azka's business partner.


"But heart dong, brother," said Elvan.


"There is sadness, yes." - Azka. "But the heart can't be forced, El."


"Well, don't you try to fight? They're not getting far." Elvan tightened his jacket. It's getting colder the night.


"No. I don't want to ruin friendships and businesses just out of love" Azka said. "If they're happy, why did I come and mellow things out of love?"


Elvan looked at her brother. "Or because... The adista?"


Azka looked at her sister. He took a deep breath.


"The girl is different. Something made me feel like I wanted to help him. I mean, yeah, he was a hero to me when things went wrong. But, hearing her life story I couldn't let it go. I want to do whatever it takes to make her okay. Even so that he can achieve a good future," explained Azka.


"Because it's brother love him a better job?" ask Elvan.


"Hm, one of them. Besides, he's also a smart kid. Very quick to learn. I was planning to enroll him in college to complete his skills" Azka replied.


"Aren't you starting to like Adista?" ask Elvan again.


Azka. He thought of everything he had experienced with the girl. Ever since he knew Adista to be the answer to the ravaged situation in his business, he paid close attention to the girl for wanting to thank her. But actually he also likes to see the cute and innocent Adista. Shy but obedient and hardworking.


"Maybe you're right, El. And that's why I didn't feel so lost to Vina when I found out she was now with Kelvin." Azka finally answered.


"I agree with Adista" said Elvan. Azka looked at her sister. "Yes, Brother. He's honest, right? He's not messing around. He works to find a better life without getting tired. That's the value of the pluses. She's also beautiful. Natural. If Madam Vina is because she's fashionable, you know dress up."


Azka smiled. "You noticed him too?"


"More or less," said Elvan flat.


The night is getting late. The grilled corn is gone. The cold is getting. Azka invited her sister into the tent following Farel who had already slept.
