The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 95 - Jump Together...

Garuda's house is busy. These few days all the members of both the coach and the students all looked complicated. How not, they will start the show in Malang Town Square, Matos, just days away. Exercise is sure to fix and okay everything that will be displayed. Costumes to be worn, equipment and other property must be ready two days before the day H.

Elvan and Melati paced the office and House Garuda. But they're very excited. This is the first time they will be performing in public. The kids also enjoyed being tense. Bondan will finally come out as planned. He will play ukulele for three songs of struggle and sing the song Tanah Air trio with Fandi and Jodi.

Dance team with traditional dance combined modern dance ready. Music team with all the completeness is ok. The vocal and choral team is also steady. Just wait for the execution day.

On the other hand, Elvan is also enthusiastic, because finally the graduation day arrives. With the extraordinary results of his script, he was asked to give a speech representing graduates. Melati, and her family came. The Edgar family was also present. Lily also graduated the same day. Their double happiness.

After the awarding of the title, then Elvan appeared forward on the podium giving a speech. Dashing, handsome, and full of confidence Elvan came forward to say his words. Thank you to God, thank you to the lecturers and mentors, all levels of university leaders, thank you to family and friends, and congratulations to all graduates.

"If each of us is able to stand today, witnessed by family, friends and loved ones, it is an unforgettable historic day. Our work that has begun to be inscribed, will continue to develop like an eagle with strong wings flying into space through the storm.

"The future must be there, the challenge is also ready to face. But what has been obtained during the education process will be the basis for stepping confidently, until hope will be real.

"House of Garuda is my ambition, my hope, my future. I can't make all of that happen by myself. There are many hands, hearts, times, poured out. Thanks for all the support. This is an encouragement for me to accompany the next generation of the nation which will one time stand as the pride of this country. Thank you." Thank you."

A standing ovation greeted Elvan. Erika to tears watching her son standing in front. An incredible pride flowed in his heart. Tirta, her smile never stopped. His son, whose days of drama were completed at one stage of his life. And he will be ready to enter another round, which may also be full of drama.

Melati was only able to stare straight at Elvan's face. The man he loved so much that not only managed to become a scholar, he managed to become the successor of the company and was able to work on a great vision in him.

"We took a photo there, yes. Everybody come, yuk..." Lily was busy organizing a photo event together. But everything is arranged in a funny style. And finally Lily asked for a photo with a high jump. Elvan, Melati, Azka, Farel, Damar, Teak, Terrence, and himself jumped together. Said Lily release of joy. Yeah, whatever the name is. The point is, Lily wants to all jump together.

"Congratulations, yeah... Lily, Evan..." Fara comes to experience Elvan and Lily.

"Thank you's. Congratulations to you, too," Lily replied with a bright smile. Elvan smiled as well.

"Yes..." Fara smiled. "Mails..." Fara suffers from jasmine.

"Congratulations, make your graduation. What's the plan ahead, huh?" ask Melati.

"I have a job in Singapore. Three months there. Maybe it could be more. Pray all smoothly," said Fara cheerfully.

"Good luck if it's that." Melati smile.

"It's fine there.." - Elvan.

After a meeting in Gramedia that afternoon, Elvan, Melati, and Fara's relationship, even Lily, improved. Although it was not easy for Fara to forget Elvan, she no longer chased after Elvan. He knows Elvan will stay where he is, loving Melati wholeheartedly.

Right the next day, Rumah Garuda opened the Merdeka Day Show. Opening opens with Indonesia Raya song by choir. Followed by the Flag song instrument accompanied by a traditional and modern dance mix, according to the musical arrangement. Continues with other attractions. Full audience. They were standing around the stage. Many were amazed, they captured the moment, with photos, videos. They even post something on social media.

Aaron, he seemed to be standing in the middle of the crowd of people watching. Delvin, who remained a good friend, invited him to come. At first Aaron hesitated. Elvan asked for it. But he decided to come eventually. His heart was so excited when he saw Bondan. Haru and longing clashed within his chest. He gulped a few times, taking a deep breath, between the fullness and tightness in his chest.

Bondan is very different now. He was handsome, his skin was cleaner, and his body was not so thin. Maybe because he was happy, eating right, so quickly gained weight.

The show closes with the song 'Land of Water'. Bondan joined the trio singing the song. Aaron's tears are now shed. His son now plays the ukulele and sings in a beautiful place, not a crossroads or houses people for a dime. But he sings a great message, every child is precious, every child has advantages, and every child is given life because there is a purpose in his life.

After the show, Elvan brings Bondan to meet Aaron. When he saw Aaron, Bondan stood up, sculpting. At first he didn't recognize her. Because Aaron came up with a completely different appearance than Bondan usually sees. If Bondan knew, his father looked shabby, disheveled, now neat and clean. He looks cool and handsome.

"Bondw..." Almost stuck in Aaron's esophagus when calling his son's name.

"Mr.." said Bondan.

"Yes..." Aaron tried to smile. Bondan. Is this really his father he's been afraid of all this time? His face was no longer fierce and fierce. Totally different.

Aaron widens both hands, asking Bondan to come to him. Bondan turned to Elvan and Melati who were standing by his side. Elvan nodded. Then Bondan ran into Aaron's arms. Aaron held his son tightly. She was crying, Bondan was crying. Melati and Elvan inevitably also shed tears.

Aaron's warm embrace was a deep apology to his son. Also his way of letting go of the longing for Bondan, the child he loves, but who he once wasted. Bondan never expected to see his father that day. He still often thinks about what a good father? Who gives money if you want to gamble or buy a drink? Do you cry more and more often remember mom? That was what often appeared in his mind.

"Bondw..." Aaron took off his arms and looked at his son. His face was full of tears.

"You are great" said Aaron.

"Uhhuukkk...." Bondan was crying again. "Fine-good? Uuuhhukkk.." asked Bondan.

"Yes. Look, tidy father, right? Father is working now. Don't be sad. I already have money to eat. I'm not drunk anymore, I'm not gambling anymore. I want to be a good father to you" said Aaron. Bondan drops his body into Aaron's arms. I can't believe hearing that. Aaron hugged Bondan again with deep affection.

"Lord, thank you" whispered Melati to the heartwarming encounter. Elvan grabbed Melati's hand and grasped it tightly. His heart was also full of gratitude.
