The White Heart Jasmine
Chapter 47 - I Remember My Promise... I Recall...



Time keeps passing. Already entered ten months Elvan lived with Pak Karno and Bu Nanik. The goddess comes home more and more. He kept on approaching Elvan. He brought souvenirs of new clothes, sandals, snacks, and also a jacket for Elvan. Ms. Nanik was right, Dewi did like her. And it's getting to be time for you to take the two of them to talk.


"As you said it was the same time as you, Gus. I'll marry you both. You and the Goddess. So as long as the Goddess at home knows her well. Let you understand each other" said the father.


"Yes, Mas. Let Mas Bagus later not surprised to have a chatty wife but gemesin like me." The goddess nudged Elvan's arm.


"Wi, take care of your attitude. Girls don't know how to be polite," said Mr. Karno.


"Ih.. kan Mas Bagus my future husband," said the spoiled Goddess.


"When do you want to get out of your job?" ask Mr. Karno.


"Still in process, sir. Another month or two, yes." said Dewi.


"You are the one who wants to marry, but keep retreating" said Mr. Karno.


"There's still a big event, sir, over there. I want artists to come twice. Loss if I don't follow," said Dewi. "Wait a minute I can start taking care of the marriage certificate. Prepare for the party."


"That's easy. Just get married and not have a party. The important thing is right ahead of the penghulu." Mr. Karno began to settle with his son.


"Yes, no party, sir... I'm working with a married person, is it my turn to marry, only Ijab kabul aja? Oversimplifies... Mister..." Goddess pouting.


Elvan doesn't know what to say. The father and son clearly disagree, except just as they want, the same marriage goddess Elvan.


"It has. Anyway you quickly quit your new job you take care of everything," growled Mr. Karno.


"Ah. ga know, ah..." The goddess went out of the house. I don't know where he's going.


"Greater children are more difficult to manage" grumbled Mr. Karno, then went to the back of the house.


Elvan, who had just been silent to see the father and son noisily, just shook his head. Then he turned on the TV. She doesn't really like watching TV, but this time she's better off switching her mind to something else. Dizziness also heard them noisily.


Elvan stared at the TV screen. It turns out that soap operas. He doesn't like to watch soap operas, try a basketball match. Just as he was about to change channels, Ms. Nanik came in.


"Eh, tell the TV. That's another great story." Bu Nanik put down the vegetable basket and sat down next to Elvan.


On the screen, a couple of lovers are talking. They stared at each other, the guy grabbed the girl's hand.


*** "You just love me, right? Promises, yes. Don't you ever leave. You stay by my side, yeah..."


*** "Yes.. I promise."


Elvan saw Bu Nanik. Very funny, already this old he looks excited watching the scene of young people. Elvan smiled faintly.


*** "You know, my heart has been put in your heart. And your heart also made me. Never go with another..."


*** "I'm not leaving. I will take care of this heart for you. Whatever happens, until whenever..."


"Ooh...." Bu Nanik held both of his cheeks.


Oh God!!! He remembers everything now...


That day he fell while searching for wood in the forest with Azka. He and his family are camping together. She remembers everything!!!


He looked at Ms. Nanik. The woman was still staring at the TV screen.


"Yes. advertisements.." he said disappointed.


"Mom.." call Elvan.


Ms. Nanik looked over. "What's up, Gus? I'm gonna go back a minute."


Elvan approached Bu Nanik. "My name is Elvan" he said slowly.


"What?" Bu Nanik made sure he heard Elvan mention his name.


Elvan nodded. "Elvan Alcandra Edgar. That's my name, Mom. The girl I saw in my dream was my lover, her name was Melati."


Bu Nanik was wide-eyed. He closed his mouth afraid of screaming. Then he looked up, rubbing Elvan's face. She cried.


"You remember?" ask Bu Nanik. Still holding both Elvan cheeks.


Elvan nodded. "Remember everything."


Ms. Nanik took Elvan to sit down. He put his index finger in his mouth. She wiped her wet cheeks from the tears.


"Don't let you know" said Bu Nanik. "You're pretending you still don't remember anything. If you know it can be bad."


Elvan doesn't understand. Ms. Nanik continued, "Father will not let go of you. So let's just make a plan so you can go. You'll tell Mom about you later. But we're gonna find a good time first."


"Yes, ma'am" said Elvan.


"Mom go to the kitchen first." Bu Nanik left Elvan. I don't think I believe all this. He finally realized who he was. Very well.


Elvan went into the room. He sat on the edge of the bed. He's looking down deep. Her tears are dripping. His shoulders were shaking from crying. Still can't believe it feels like he has to go through all this.


It popped up all in his head about his home, his parents, his sister and his brother. Are they all right? Papa, is papa healthy? Then he remembered his school and his plans for college, pursuing his goals. Jasmine. What the hell happened to you?


"Are you still waiting for me?" elvan Mumbles. "Have you fulfilled my request to keep your heart for me?"


Tired of crying, Elvan laid down his body. But his mind ran here and there. Remember all about his life. How she started liking jasmine at school. How he looked at the girl. Smart, friendly, and beautiful. He could no longer be interested in any girl.


"Mel. I'm very sorry about you... Do you miss me too? I want to meet you soon and hug you again" whispered Elvan's heart.


Then came her mother's beautiful face. Very dear and attentive. Which he often bothers to be upset, but can not really be angry.


"Mama. I miss my mom too." she said softly, and she fell asleep.
