"Stand!" gintani orders the man who is still struggling while bowing his head.
"Ta. but...."
"Reside, Brother! I don't want to be the center of attention of the people around here" replied Gintani, gently.
Bram stood up, immediately after he asked permission to sit on the bench that had been occupied by Alex.
"So..., can Big Brother explain the reason why Brother suddenly apologized to me?" asked Gintani who was still surprised to see Bram's attitude like that.
Bram sighed for a moment. He stared blankly at the flower beds in the garden.
"I'm sorry for all my past mistakes! I really did not expect that my actions, be the beginning of all the suffering that you experience," said Bram.
"I mean Brother?" gintani asked as he scrunched his forehead.
"Alex told me everything, Gin. I never knew if you were having trouble because of your aunt. Had I known that you needed this job so badly to finance your grandfather's treatment, I would not have followed Argha's will to fire you."
What does not know, did I repeatedly say that I needed the job to support my family...? Huh that's right.... Did he forget or pretend to forget..? gintani grunts in the heart.
"Gin...??" call Bram and look at him.
"Already, Brother...! Forgetit! After all, everything has passed" replied Gintani, trying to control her emotions.
"Ta.. but Gin. had it not happened, you would never have men_"
"That's my destiny, brother! No one can avoid his own destiny" Gintani said, staring coldly at Bram. Honestly speaking, she never wanted to be a weak woman again because of having to reminisce about the past.
For a moment, silence occurred between them.
"Na was Argha's childhood friend. He's the only person who can restore Argha's smile after her mother's death from an accident." Unasked, Bram tells the story of Argha's past.
Gintani scrunched his forehead. "Accident?" ask Gintani.
Bram nodded. "Agha's mother fell from the third floor of a shopping mall. At that time, he wanted to help his friend's son. His death, which was right before Argha's eyes, traumatized Argha and did not want to hang out with anyone. To him, the world seemed dark when it lost an angel without wings. Coupled with the marriage of om Jaya who was too fast according to Argha, making him increasingly close himself. Eventually, he meets a little girl named Na. Na's always cheerful nature, gradually makes Argha's life full of color. But unfortunately, for whatever reason, Argha was never able to meet the girl. Finally, Argha decided to return to live with his father and stepmother. Growing up, he told me to find Na. Up to a week after you got married. Argha never thought about Na again. In fact, a few days ago, he told me to stop looking for Na. Until last night, in__"
"Sister Bram, can we not discuss that again?" gintani pinta.
"But...."
"Sister, Gintan is sure, Big Brother knows much more about the reason for our marriage. Gintan also believes that Brother knows that Argha filed a treaty before we got married. It's all Gintan's fault.... Might as well... Gintan is overconfident if Gintan can erase the girl's name from Argha's heart. Until finally, Gintan must feel the consequences of that outrageous self-confidence," replied Gintani flatly.
"But Argha loves you, Gin!"
Silent...
"Trust me. I'm pretty sure that Argha loves you. He forgot about Na. But. There was an incident that forced him to recall the girl."
"That's not a reasonable reason, brother. If it was true that Argha loved Gintan, anything could never be a reason to remember his past again. Gintan please, Gintan never wants to hope for anything again. Gintan is very tired, brother. Free Gintan learns to have it, if he never wants to learn to accept it. Gintan's tired, brother...."
"No Gin! I can prove that Argha loves you."
"How?"
"Let me think about how. You don't have to worry. I promise, in the near future, I'll make Argha realize his feelings."
"Don't force her too much brother! I don't like forced love" Gintani said.
"Calm down, Gin! This is not coercion. It's just an effort in love."
Gintani smelled his smile. I don't know what you're going to do, one is for sure... Gintan will never hope again for the story that has ended." Gintani grabbed her sling bag. "It's late, brother, Gintan said goodbye first. Assalamu'alaikum.!"'s chat...!"
"Wa'akaikumsalam."
Bram stared at Gintani's departure, until the tiny body of the woman disappeared amid the crowd of people who were in the park. The more afternoon, the atmosphere of the park began to be crowded by the wagons of street vendors who peddle various culinary.
"Where are you?"
"The cave's in the apartment."
"Wait there! Twenty minutes, the cave's up."
Tut's......
Bram hung up. He then set foot into the park. After paying parking rent, Bram drove his vehicle through the streets of the capital that was increasingly crowded creeping.
Twenty-five minutes drive, Bram finally arrived at a luxury apartment in the city center. Bram immediately took the elevator and pressed the number 11. A few minutes later, the elevator stopped. The elevator doors open, Bram's out. Putting both hands in her pants pocket, Bram walked casually down the corridor of the apartment on the 11th floor.
Bram stopped in an apartment room with the number 115. He then pressed the red button next to the apartment door.
"Who?" ask someone who only sounds.
"It's a cave, man,... Bram!" answer Bram.
Clamps...!
Someone opened the door for him. Bram also stumbled in without excuse or greeting.
"Ish, lizard cake!" the owner of the apartment is none other than Kevin.
"Emergency bro!" bram replied as he threw his ass over the couch. For a moment he leaned his body. His eyes closed to clear his mind.
"Lo's crying, Bram?" ask kevin to investigate.
Bram squinted one eye. "Why are you making that cake?" ask Bram wonder.
"Lo's red, to Ancol's clown," Kevin replied.
"Damn lo!" sumpat Bram while throwing a sofa pillow towards his crazy friend.
Kevin chuckled as he dashed small towards the mini bar to avoid the flying pillow. He then grabbed a bottle of wine along with two seloki. A second later, he returned to his living room.
"Drink?" bargain Kevin, pour the blood-red liquid into the glass Bram.
"Lo got a softdrink?" ask Bram.
"Bhua..ha...! Why not drink milk...?" chuckled Ledek Kevin saw the change of his pal.
"Ish, seriously cave Bro! Dhifa forbid the cave touch that stuff again. Harper, Kev...!"
"Dhypha?" Kevin asked as he scrunched his forehead. "Lo's dating Nadhifa?" ask Kevin again.
"New stage PDKT," replied Bram. "Oh yeah, Kev. The cave came here for your help."
"What help?" ask Kevin, surprised.
"Come here! I whispered something" said Bram.
Kevin's approaching Bram. A moment later, Bram whispered something in his friend's ear.
Kevin shuddered amusedly as he felt Bram's breath in his ear.
"Lo can't be quiet, anyway!" exclaimed Bram while patting Kevin's shoulder.
"Sorry.. sorry... hee... he...!" chortled. He put his ear back to Bram.
A moment later, a slick grin was on both corners of Kevin's lips.
"OK...! Let's play the game...!!"
