The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 58 - Meeting the Goddess

"It's really Good, isn't it?" The girl quickly walked towards Elvan. "Geez, I didn't expect to see you here. You remember me, right, Mom?"

Elvan was similarly surprised to see this girl standing before him. "How are you, Wi?" greet Elvan.

"Good, Mas." He looked at Elvan like he couldn't believe seeing this handsome guy again. "The same time at home. So this is the real thing? Cool abis, lo..."

Elvan smiles. "It's Jasmine." Elvan introduces Melati who stands dumbstruck and confused. Elvan was called Good. Melati knows this has something to do with the time Elvan lost last time.

"Mel, this is Dewi, son of Mr. Karno." Elvan saw Melati. The girl nodded. She knows the story of Goddess and Elvan because Elvan told her everything.

"Good Boyfriend, yes.. Uh, sorry, Mas Elvan..." Goddess smile.

"Mas Elvan lives in Malang?" ask Goddess.

"Yes, right," answered Elvan.

"I happen to be abis in training. Assigned boss," explained Dewi. "The father of the same miss Mas Elvan. I was sick when Mas Elvan left. Until now still often sad," the story of the Goddess.

Elvan listen. The goddess continued, "If mother is stronger, Mas. Mom's fine. I'm relieved Mas Elvan is fine. I can tell you the same they don't have to worry. Mas Elvan is more handsome and dashing." Goddess smile.

Elvan smiled. "I'm sorry about the past, Wi.."

"Ah.. Mas already, do not need to remember. Elvan already has one. I'm not single anyway. Already have a boyfriend, really," said Dewi while widening her lips, smiling loosely. Sweet.

"You're not going home?" ask Elvan.

"Late this week, Mommy. It's still going to be the same streets that are also training."

"I'll take you, yeah..." I don't know why Elvan said that. His heart was filled when he heard the story of Goddess Pak Karno was sick after he left.

"What, Mas?" ask the Goddess in shock.

"Elvan?" jasmine was also shocked.

"I'll take you home. I want to see Father and Mother" said Elvan.

Melati touched Elvan's hand. There was a sense of worry appearing in Melati's heart.

"I'm taking you too, Mel," said Elvan.

"Didn't you lie?" said Dewi.

"Ga, Wi," said Elvan.

"I asked for Mas Elvan's contact number. I'll call you when I leave." The goddess took out her HP.

They exchanged numbers, then they split up. On the way home Elvan became quieter.

"El, are you all right?" ask Melati.

"Sorry, Mel. I baper for meeting the Goddess earlier. All the memories of the time at Pak Karno's house came to mind." Elvan answered while still driving his car.

"You sure you're going to Mr. Karno's house? Will there be nothing?" ask Melati again.

"Pak Karno is a good man. He won't harm me. There is a Goddess too" said Elvan. "You should be with me, too, Mel."

"Yes. Sure." Sure." Melati touches Elvan's arm hoping to make Elvan calmer. But it was just his heart that was not calm.

"Elvan, what do you think, anyway? How can you go back to that house? Obviously you were held captive by that guy. If he forces you to stay, then you are hidden, what? Mama can't afford to lose you again, El," said Erika protesting loudly.

"Ma, I'm not being held captive, Ma... I live ordinary there. Even though it is just around the house. However, Mr. Karno helped me and took care of me. Nanik's mother also helped me get back home." Elvan gave an excuse.

"Ga can. Anyway Mama doesn't want you to go," argued Erika.

"I'm not alone either. There's a Goddess, there's Melati." Elvan still reasoned. "I just want them to know I'm okay. Let them be relieved. Because at that time I'm going to run away, even though Bu Nanik is also planning."

"This kid is stubborn, huh..." Erika stroked her chest. "Mas, how is this?" Erika turned to her husband who had just listened to her son and wife fighting.

"We go" said Tirta.

"Where, Mas?" Erika was shocked to hear that. Tirta did not support him instead he agreed with Elvan's plan.

"Yes..." Erika immediately pouted.

"I can understand Elvan. Ten months is not a short time to get to know them. They take good care of Elvan. Instead we'll go say thank you to them." Tirta explained the point.

"Father.thank you," Elvan hugged his papa. Erika is still pouting.

"Ma..." Elvan approached his mother. She hugged her mother with love. "Ma, don't worry. I'm an adult. I know what I'm doing."

"What adult? You are not 20 years old" Erika said. His heart was still not relieved. But he knows he can't hold on anymore. He must accept Elvan's wish.

A few days later, Elvan was already on his way to Pak Karno's house. Tirta, Erika, Melati, and Farel took part in the journey. Azka did not participate because Adista was pregnant in the first trimester. So he couldn't go to a difficult location. So Azka decided to accompany his wife.

Elvan made a pact to meet the Goddess around the Pasuruan area and together then to the house of the Goddess. Along the way Elvan tried to be relaxed. But Mama's still tense. Melati and Tirta were quite calm. The goddess looks clumsy. He did not expect that Elvan's parents would come. Farel, he sleeps more.

Elvan just found out to the house of the Goddess is not as difficult and sharp as her shadow. There is a pretty good village road there. But Elvan knew, Ms. Nanik told him to go through the forest that time because it was a shortcut to the campground.

Approaching the house of the Goddess the scenery is more beautiful. Everyone in the car looked up and looked around. Forgot that mixed feeling. Except Goddess. He was very familiar with that view. This is where it came from. From birth he knew all this.

Almost 12pm the journey ended. The goddess came down first opening the high bamboo gate. He opened the fence wide so the car could get in. Elvan parked the car in the yard. The goddess ran into the house. At this hour his mother must be in the kitchen cooking.

"Mother.." Call the Goddess. His mother was also walking towards him.

"Oo, you're coming, Wi. I heard the car. Who are you greeting?" ask Bu Nanik.

"Mother, come with me. I wouldn't believe it if I said. I saw it straight away," said Dewi while holding her mother's hand and leading her quickly forward.

Bu Nanik was confused by the Goddess's behavior. But he couldn't resist out of curiosity.

"Which father, Mom?" ask Goddess.

"Still looking for wood to the forest" replied Ms. Nanik.

Arriving in front of the house, Bu Nanik saw there were some people he did not know. Three men and two women. Who're they? Ms. Nanik sure never saw. Moreover, from his clothes it was clear they were city people and rich people.

"Who, Wi?" Bu Nanik instead held the hand of the Goddess who had released the grip of Nanik's mother.

Hearing that Elvan who was still paying attention to the spacious yard with various green vegetables turned his head. Bu Nanik's. It hardly changed. The old woman looked at him. As if he had never seen her, his face was full of question marks.

Elvan approaching...

"Mother.." call Elvan.
