This morning the sky of London was not so bright because of the cloudy cloud that enveloped with the speck of rain that was ready to fall at any time , but as if held back by the smile of the middle-aged man who continued to crackle this morning.
His eyes continued to sparkle staring at the news on the newspaper sheet that was now in his hands, "you seem so happy" said the wife approaching while putting her favorite cup of milk coffee.
" hemm.. "reply Frans flinched a little and closed the newspaper sheet in his hand with perfectly curved lips, "is the stock price on the rise, that you are so happy ? " ask Elba getting curious.
" It's more than the stock price "reply Frans while sipping milk coffee .
Elba turned his head when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs, "why is he awake ? " he murmured when he saw his only son was now out of his bedroom at a time that was still so early in the morning, "boy "call him slowly and the easy man turned his head.
" ooh y'all here" he said as he walked towards the back porch of his house where his parents were sitting enjoying the dawn rays, "have you woken up ? " ask Elba confused.
" Hemm, I could not sleep well "said and sat between his parents while resuscitating his body on the side of the chair with his body half lying down.
The eyes of Elba and Frans looked at each other in amazement at their son's behavior this morning 'ever since when did the young man want to join and sit together at a time like this , " how was the wedding yesterday ? " ask Elba opened the conversation on her son who is now closing his eyes, "don't ask me to attend such an event "he said in an annoyed tone.
" It's a good thing that Rea was also there so the event wasn't so boring "he added and again made the line on Frans' lips curl back up and Elba realized it.
" What time did you come back? , Mami didn't realize when you were coming home last night "
" Em. I don't know what time I came home from Rea's house" either "
" Rea's house ? " repeat Elba with Frans who continue to listen without any more care about the coffee that will be cold because it is frowned upon.
" hemm. we went home together last night "clearly a brief echo with eyes constantly closed, "Father ." he called her slowly.
" hemm "
" It looks like I'm going to take a day off work today "
" Are you sick ? " gig Elba directly touched his son's forehead, "no mam, it's just that I'm still sleepy and all day I want to sleep "
" Yes sleep "so Frans continued so casually, making Elba look at her in confusion and Echoes that instantly opened her eyes?" serious father ? "
" Yes, rest you must be very tired" Frans said smilingly and it looked so strange on the old man's arrogant face.
" Thank you Dad" said Echoes with a slightly frowning forehead that is now looking at his mother.
" Sleep in your room" said Elba as he watched his son close his eyes again, "yes soon "saw Echoes while breathing in the morning air.
" Mam "call her slowly and Elba looks back at her, "what's up ? " ask the middle-aged woman.
" Am I often delirious ? "
Hearing that silly question, Frans and Elba immediately laughed, "what's wrong with you, how do you know if you're delirious or not if we don't sleep together " elba continued to laugh.
" When was I a kid ? "
" emmm. Yeah you've been delirious enough "
" Yes it often happens when you cry and then fall asleep" Elba explained, recalling the moment it happened.
" Crying "repeating Echoes that now re-open his eyes.
" Yes, what's wrong? , why are you asking something so ridiculous ? " said Elba who was still laughing, but different from the Echoes who are now silent and do not mengubris question from his mother , " what actually happens to people who often deliriously and cry while asleep ? " he asked and looked seriously at Elba.
" Means the life of the world is in fact so painful" continued Frans , making Echoes speechless with a heart that suddenly felt a little sore.
" Is that you ? " question Elba became worried , "no not me mam "saw a quick echo and Elba immediately sighed softly.
" I was really sleepy " said Echoes yawning and then moving from his seat, "yes sleep "replies Elba and Frans just kept quiet by looking at his son.

In his bed Rea was still speechless by repeatedly inhaling and exhaling back, "how is this ? " his murmur was panicked and confused, but suddenly his eyes were turned on the jacket lying beside him, "what was this Echoes jacket last night " he said subconsciously now smiling and taking the jacket and hugging it so tightly, '" Oh my God, what's wrong with me "he said as he woke up and threw the jacket down on the 'floor , but he quickly ran back to pick up the object and then shook off the dust that might have dirty it.
" Ceh , why should I bother so much with this thing "grunts annoyed , but still continues the movement of his hands.
Tok tok tok "alongside the door of Rea's room rang by a knock.
" Yes enter "he shouted, while walking back to the bed with the Echoes jacket that continues in his hands.
" You've woken up Miss ? " ask Rose from behind the door that just opened.
" Do you want to have breakfast something this morning ? " he asked again and Rea shook her head, "anything Rose "said while tucking her long hair.
" Yes, miss "
" Em.. What time did I arrive last night ? "
" It's almost midnight and Mr. Gema stays here until you're fully awake "
Rea's eyes slightly enlarged with a slightly choked throat, "you mean Echoes accompany me to sleep ".
" Yes, lady, just before dawn you go home "reply to Rose without explaining why because the man stayed there last night, "is there anything else you need miss " .
" No Rose, go "
Rea again sat down at the side of the bed thinking about what had happened between her and Echoes last night, but her memory found nothing.
" Ah maybe she just took a short break before finally going home "her murmured with thoughts in her head.
Drrttt drrtt "mobile phone on the nightstand is back ringing by the sound of the phone.
Sighing Rea moved half hesitantly to reach her flat object, "this must be Devita "murmuring again before seeing who she was calling now, "oh Maria " he said after finding the name of the woman who is now on his phone screen, "you called me at the right time Maria" he said without saying hello first.
" It seems you already know the news "
" Yes, this is all because you are Maria "gig Rea , making Mary laugh from across the phone, "not because of me Miss but this is destiny "reply with laughter.
" Ceh, how dare you bring destiny into this matter "
" Hurry to take care of this news, I don't want to be involved in talks with journalists" he added.
" But this news has spread quickly, miss and can no longer be spared "clearly Maria who made Rea finally can only breathe , "you are very unhandled " he said he was upset, but there was no anger there.
" How did you get home last night, miss ? " ask Mary who deliberately teases the woman, "you really are a manager who doesn't know yourself, how dare you in a situation like this you ask me that ".
" What's more that must be done miss , rather than in the thought and make you stun.. "
" You're the one who made me strip Maria "cut Rea, made Mary laugh unstoppably.
" Alright get ready Miss , in two hours we have a meeting schedule and in one hour I will arrive at your house "
" Yes, yes, " answered Rea soberly and then closed the call and put the phone back on the nightstand, but a few seconds later the flat object again rang, "yes Mary , why are you so noisy this morning huh "the light on the phone call that he didn't see correctly what name is calling him right now, "You're up ? " ask from across the phone who managed to make Rea's eyes enlarge and look back at the phone screen.
" Oh gosh "he muttered so embarrassed when he realized to his careless, "Yes Echoes I've woken up "reply.
" Are you sick of the echo ? " he asked as the male voice sounded a little hoarse.
" No , I just lack sleep emm not I mean , I'm just being sleepy and want to sleep " obviously Echoes.
" Are you not going to work ? "
" No, I've allowed my father to rest today "
" hemm. are you sure you're okay with the echo ? "
" Of course Rea I'm fine, it's me who wants to ask you, are you okay ? "
Rea was silent for a moment to hear the question back from the man, "what's wrong with me Echoes, I'm certainly fine "he explained in confusion.
" Well, I'm just a little worried about you "
" Happy Rea activities and don't forget your breakfast" said Gema before hanging up the phone.
" Yes you are also echoing "
" Em. wait "continue Rea before the man stops their phone call, "do you not know yet." she asked without daring to continue.
" Don't know what Rea ... "
" No no, I'll hang up "
" Bye Gema "
" Bye Rea "replies the man before the phone is actually over.
" It seems like he didn't know the news this morning "rea muttered slightly sighing then put a flat object back in his hand then rushed to walk towards the bathroom.
