Labuhan Cinta
Calmness
In a corner of the tea house, a man was sitting enjoying a cup of early grey tea he ordered. Enjoy the aroma of tea that is so liked from the warm drink. A calm feeling surrounded his heart as a warm drink entered his body through his throat.
However, having just enjoyed his afternoon tea, the sound of the phone rang and made him put a cup of flowers containing warm tea on the table.
His smile was intrigued when he saw whose name was on his phone screen. No need to linger, he picked up the phone connection from the other country.
“Halo Darling.” A soft voice that always calms the soul sounded.
“Halo, Mommy.”
“When are you home?”
The man was silent to the question. Instantly he remembered his promise to his mommy if he would return to Indonesia today. Justin Elvaro Adion - first son of Bryan Adion and Olivia Shea. The son of one of the entrepreneurs in Indonesia has been living in London for six years.
Four years, the twenty-five-year-old man was educated in the British royal country and two years he decided to work at one of the property companies in the UK.
“Lusa I'll be home , Mom.”
“What time is six years less El?” shea asked in a quip.
Usually El will argue when his mommy calls with his little name. He would rather be called Justin than El.
He said the call made him look more mature. However, because this time the mother was angry, the twenty-five-year-old man did not want to argue.
“Yes, this time I promise, Mom. The day after I'll be home.”
“Listen El, Mommy will be really upset if you don't go home.”
Hearing the tone of speech that seemed unnecessary rebuttal from his mommy, El fell silent again. Giving her mommy a chance to get angry, venting her frustration.
El realized that her parents were very sad when two years ago she decided not to go home and instead chose to live in London.
Two years ago, his cousin-Aaron Alexander Maxton or commonly called Al, decided to return to Indonesia after graduating from college, while El chose to work in one of the property companies in London.
Since London, El has lived with Al-Kids Selly and Regan Maxton. The same age El made him always educated in the same place. Born into a loving family, they both loved in their own way.
“Yes, I promise, Mom. If later I don't go home Mommy can scribble from the inheritance list,” El seductive.
“Basic brat!”
“Do not get angry, later beautiful Mommy lost.”
Shea who was there was heard laughing. His first child could not make him angry.
“Alright, notify Mommy if you go home.”
“Iya, I will inform you that Mommy can install the red carpet for me.”
“You think you're an artist?”
El laughed as her Mommy was no longer angry.
“Mommy will wait for you to go home.”
“Iya, Mommy Dear.” El terminated his phone call.
Returning to continue his activities, he grabbed a cup and sipped tea in it. Enjoy a cup of tea that is so warm while enjoying the view behind the glass tea house.
Behind the glass tea house shows the streets of London. It seems that some people are walking to their respective destinations.
El did not expect that he had been in London for six years. Time rolled so fast that he did not feel time so fast. Maybe because he lived his days happily so time was not felt.
When his older cousin-Al came home and started building a business in his own country, El was still working in someone else's company. Fortunately, his parents allowed it. As long as it can still be accounted for what is the decision, they let El step as he wishes.
The cup of tea he had poured from the pot had run out, but the person he had been waiting for had not arrived. Not wanting to wait too long, El grabbed his phone, tried to call.
Just as El clings to his phone, he hears a bell at the entrance ringing, a sign that visitors have just entered.
From a distance El saw a girl he knew enter the tea house.Show the girl looked around looking for him. When he found out where El was, he walked over.
El was stunned as the beautiful girl approached. His black hair that was unraveled, moving following the movements of the body while it was walking, made him so fascinated. With a brown coat, the girl covered her tiny body. Ankle boots with matching colors show how fashionable the woman is.
Freya Callandra Julian - the first child of Chika and Felix Julian. Papa Freya works for Adion. Company owned by Bryan Adion-daddy El.
Four years ago Freya decided to attend college in London following El and Al first. He majored in business, the same with El and Al. While in London, he lived with El and Al in Maxton's house. Since two years ago only El and Freya lived in the house, because Al chose to return first.
“I’m sorry,” he said while pulling the chair. A sweet smile adorned his face as an apology flashed.
“You just want to meet me instead of the office. I'm used to seeing you with an ugly face, so why dress up for long.” El already knew what caused the girl before him to come long ago.
“Come, El. I'm embarrassed if people see me as ugly.”
El smiled thinly. Every time Freya went, she panicked when someone saw her. He thinks it looks ugly. Either the ankle boots are not compatible with his coat, or maybe his face is smudged. Something was panicking Freya. “Do not be afraid of people judging you ugly. Because they don't know what you are.”
“But El—“
“People have their own glasses to see us. So in the eyes of one person to another is not the same. Don't make other people's views turn you into what others want you to be.”
Freya rolled a lazy eyeball. El is a humorous man, but when he gives advice, he seems to see the figure of his papa to El.
El laughed at Freya's annoyed face. “Did I look like Papa Felix?” El's closeness with the Freya family is indeed intertwined because his daddy is friends. Because of that closeness, El called “papa” on Papa Freya, just like Freya did.
“Sucks once.” Only his brain thought about it, but El could already guess what he was thinking.
Freya was always lazy to listen to the advice of her father so long. Especially when you want to go to London. His father gave his advice all day. From the start must not this, must not it, must be this way, must be so. It made Freya dizzy.
When he was upset, a waitress came to deliver the order. El had already ordered, if his friend came, tea and snacks can be delivered. A cup of white tea, on the table. Then some snacks such as muffins, cupcakes and butter cookies are presented.
“What are we going to tea party?” asked Freya who saw so read the food.
“Enjoy London before we go home tomorrow.” El smile.
Freya nodded and enjoyed the tea in a cup. His frustration instantly evaporated while enjoying the aroma of tea. That is what you love when you enjoy tea. Calm feeling.
