Young Girl For Mr. Duda

Darren, Luka, and Elena

Darren just keeps thinking about what his best friend— Devan said. Devan's words at lunch were still stirred in his mind. Where his best friend was advising him.

He breathed a heavy sigh, what his best friend said was true. However, forgetting Elena would certainly not be that easy. Elena was his life, the most beautiful thing he had. And, losing Elena was the most painful thing she felt.

Flashback.

Devan breathed a heavy sigh. He looked at Darren calmly. However, his best friend had to start a new life instead of being stuck in memories with his late wife. Devan knew it was not easy, but his best friend had to get up. I have to start forgetting those memories.

Ah, not forgetting, but keeping it in the best place in the heart. Devan looked at Darren with an inexplicable highlight. Helaan breath Devan fishing attention Darren. Darren looked at Devan questioningly.

"It's tough, Ren. But you have to get up from all this. When will you be late? What if Cellyn knew the condition of her papa? He will feel like a failure as a child, Ren," Devan said, trying to give understanding.

"But, it's hard, Dev," said Darren.

Devan breathed back. He looked out the window and was sad to see the condition of his friend. Where Darren always tries to be okay in front of everyone including in front of himself and Cellyn. Devan does not want one day his best friend will no one take care of in his old age.

She believes that Cellyn will not abandon Darren, but Darren will definitely remain lonely. Cellyn will be busy with her new life, her new family, and she will also be busy with her family. And, he did not want his best friend to feel lonely.

"I know that, Ren. Just until when do you continue to imagine your late wife? Elena would be sad, if she knew you were late for their memories."

"Think also the state of Cellyn when it turns out that the person she has is the only one hiding her condition from her. Elena's parents don't even want to know about your son, did you forget? I'll help you take care of him, Ren," Devan continued calmly.

Darren breathed a tired sigh. "What should I do?" he said desperate.

"Start a new life, don't forget Elena. Start a new life with Elena that you keep in your innermost heart."

Off Flashback.

Darren looked at the picture of Elena. His chest was pierced by pain, a longing that was always untreatable. Nineteen years have passed, but her love for Elena has not receded.

Elena Gautama's.

That name had always been the name Darren had hoped to present in his dreams. However, Elena had never been present in her dreams either. Elena never even wanted to know the condition of her heart, which was what Darren thought.

What is the most valuable thing to a Darren Gautama? Elena, Cellyn? Cellyn was Darren's last cheerleader. He will never know what if Cellyn leaves him, living with the figure of a man who will replace his figure later.

Darren's scared, afraid that Cellyn will forget him. He looked at the last photo of his family, where he was, Elena, and Cellyn. Da took the photo, his eyes had been holding back the tears that would flood his cheeks. He rubbed the photo with a slow movement, the sense of tightness increasingly hurt him.

Put the photo back. His feet stepped towards a cupboard at the end of the room. The look in his eyes was sad, implying a wound and loneliness. Darren opened the closet, took out a box of chocolates.

The tears that he had been holding back from earlier finally shed as well. Darren loses, loses will hurt himself. Slowly opening the box, there are photos of him and Elena. The photo he took during his approach with Elena, from the approach to their marriage.

Flashback.

A man was looking at a girl with a tall stature. A faint smile rose from her handsome face, Her eyes incessantly staring at the girl who was laughing beautifully. Laughter that can divert the world of the man.

"Hahaha .. if you like mah deketin, not diem-diem, Bro!" it is in a slegean style.

The man looked at his best friend sharply. "Elena it's too perfect for yang— cave"

"Naudzubillah is like a demon, right?" cut friend.

The man snorted annoyed. "Lo is like a demon."

"Darren Aryan Gautama, son of Mr. Tofid Gautama and Ms. Alisha Gautama. Since when have you been a coward?"

He is Darren Aryan Gautama. The figure of the man who kept looking at Elena Teraxco very intensely. Darren admires Elena's beautiful and beautiful look. Elena's smile was the thing she liked the most.

However, in order to get close to Elena, Darren was too scared. Not because he was not handsome let alone established, it was just that Elena was an outstanding student in her school. The figure of the head of the osis known for its assertiveness.

"Sono deketin si Elena, later taken people, nangessssss," taunted his best friend— Devano Brawirya.

Darren snorted violently, himself choosing to stay away from Devan. If not, he will be provoked by emotions because of his best friend. The affairs of his heart let it be the business of himself and God.

A month has passed, nothing has changed. Darren remains a secret bully of Elena Teraxco. He was afraid Elena would stay away from him, even though they were not close.

Until one day, Elena helped him treat wounds caused by brawl. From there she could look at Elena's beautiful face up close, a stern face as Elena was being serious. And, Darren was enjoying the pain of the wounds he had gotten.

"Why?" elena asked as she realized Darren continued to pay attention to her.

Darren himself gasped when Elena found out she was staring at the beautiful creation of God. "Hh—ha? Not really."

"Related?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Time just keeps passing by quickly. Elena and Darren were getting closer as if there was no distance. A sense of love was present in each of them, a feeling of comfort arising from their togetherness. Comfort that comes with attention to each other.

In the end, Darren decides to express his feelings. Although she hesitates to be accepted by Elena, but Darren does not want to just back down. He had already made up his mind to make Elena his, only hers.

Claps and cheers filled the grounds of Merpati High School, where Darren attended school. All residents of Merpati High School were shocked by Darren's actions, which suddenly expressed his feelings for the Chairman of the High School of Merpati. Their guess is right, there will definitely be a sense between the two. However, they were still shocked by what they saw now.

"Elena Toraxco, I'm not exactly the same kind of pinter guy you are. I'm just a guy who likes to do something to get your attention. You are too beautiful for me to hold, but is it wrong for me to express this feeling to you? El, you want to not be part of my flat story? So the person who means the most to me, will you? And, one day it will be Elena Gautama, the mother of my children" Darren said with a flower in her hand.

Elena blushed, herself lowering her face deeply. He didn't dare to look at everyone, including Darren. A warm feeling spread in his heart. He is not hypocritical, he also fell in love with the figure of Darren. A person who can treat himself well.

"Yes, I want to."
