The Part 58 Ellea


"What do you mean, uncle?" abhimanyu asked with detained emotions.


The eagle took a deep breath. Glancing at Adi who looks antipathy, even though Adi himself can not tell this.


"It wasn't an accident. Arya and Nayla intend to come to me. They have important information about Kalla's whereabouts in your village. However, apparently their intentions were known by the demon. They hit your father's car until it capsized. Their number is quite a lot, making Arya overwhelmed. As your mother is dying, one of Kalla's men begins to breathe her pure body, Arya throws them in her car. You know, if your dad's still the same as he used to be. He remained strong, but if his heart stopped beating, he would die. That's normal, but he's not willing to let your mom get ripped off by Kalla. Just then, the car exploded, Kalla and Nayla caught fire. In the rest of Arya's strength, she tried to hold on, but ... Arya died," explained the Eagle with his head bowed.


Abhimanyu was devastated. Body's limp. His eyes feel hot. He was no longer able to stem the water that began to boil in his eyelids. He squeezed the glass in his hand until it broke. Fractions of shard stuck in all his right palms. Blood seeped out. But the young man felt no pain at all. Because the pain is much more painful.


"I'll kill them all with my own two hands!" Abhimanyu clenched his hardened jaw.


"That's the job of the four of us now. Moreover, you have a special ability that is not arbitrary people have it. That'll make it easier for us to know where they are."


Abhimanyu's hand had not loosened. Gio clasped his nephew's wrist. "I know you're very angry, but manage your emotions. Do not let your emotions explode and harm yourself. Even if you can see them and know their whereabouts, but you can't do it alone. Make both parents proud. And you know, don't you, that your mother told me to take care of you anytime."


Abhimanyu began to loosen his grasp. His palm was injured with a shard of shard all over the palm of the hand. But slowly the blood began to dry up, shards of shard that still stuck out by itself and finally the situation returned to normal. Without wounds, blood, or any marks.

Abhimanyu lay on the bed. Look at the ceiling in the room where he lives. Vishnu Apartment.


He continued to imagine the incident and the shadow of his parents. Suddenly the ringing ringed. A message from Gio.


[Sleep young man. Remember that! Tomorrow's your first day at work! Don't embarrass me.]


[Good, Uncle.]


He opened a gallery on that flat object. Searching for her video footage with the voice of Nayla, her mother. Abhimanyu likes to record and capture his activities throughout the day. And Nayla is the object of most. All his mother's activities, he recorded and he kept neat.


Now almost every night, Abhimanyu always watch the recording. Or just listen to his mother's voice while nagging at him that he secretly recorded. And that is what makes Abhimanyu sleep soundly.

The sound of the cock crowing from the device made the black eyes open perfectly. Alarm is quite unique, but very successful to make Abhimanyu awake. He immediately performed his morning ritual. Light exercise after that steeping coffee makes the morning perfect. Just as the coffee in the cup was in the toilet, Gio emerged from the door.


"Are you ready, young man?" asked Gio who only looked a little at his head from behind the door. "Let's hurry!"


Abhimanyu simply stared at the man outside casually, grabbing his thick jacket. The weather this morning is quite cool because the rain has continued to fall since last night.

Vishnu's cafe is crowded by employees. When Abhimanyu came with Gio, they were welcomed by Nayaka, the manager and in charge of the cafe. Vishnu rarely visit because his life in a new environment makes him very busy. He only controls all cafe activities via email or private messages with Nayaka. While Nayaka is the employee that Vishnu trusts the most. And indeed the cafe still runs even well organized thanks to Nayaka.


"Welcome, Bi. Mr. Vishnu has told me everything. Good job." Such was the brief introduction of Nayaka. He is a person who is quite warm and able to blend quickly in everyone.


Abhimanyu immediately changed into a uniform that had been provided for him. His locker is now full of the clothes he was wearing this morning.


Abhimanyu started working as a barista cafe. His coffee is delicious. He is also very good and neat at work. While Gio only watched the young man from the corner of the cafe accompanied by a cup of espresso that was still warm. Even though Abi is an adult, sometimes Gio often treats him like a child. He did not let Abi go unattended. It's overrated, but that's his promise to Nayla.


A girl walks into a cafe. He threw a white tutu skirt near the door. He was a little wet because of the raindrops that were still loyal to the universe.


"Please capucino lattenya 1," he asked Abhimanyu without seeing the real barista who had already noticed the young girl. He was busy checking his bag. Looking for objects or even checking the contents in his black bag.


"Arabic or robusta?"


"Robusta," he said looking at Abi briefly. "Eum, and pancakes 1."


He is one of the cafe's loyal customers. Evidently when some cafe employees who greet him warm. "You're a new employee?" the girl asked, looking at Abi.


"Rubber, Miss. It's my first day working." His hands remained deftly concocting the coffee with a large tool in front of him.


"Where, Mr Jack?"


"Ah, I heard he resigned and moved out of the island. He opened his own cafe."


"Waws. Greatable. The coffee is very good. That's why I come here so often."


That sentence was able to make Abhimanyu feel challenged. He believes the coffee is no less delicious.


"I hope your coffee can be as good as Jack's, '" he said, then picked up his coffee and walked to a table by the window, his favorite spot.


"Good fun, Miss."


The girl passed. But Abhimanyu's eyes kept on him. Like a magnet that keeps making it unable to let go of the view.


The girl kept on fussing over her laptop. He continued to focus on typing on that screen. Sometimes his eyes glare out the window. And back to his job. The coffee was inhaled slowly, he sipped it slowly


Enjoying every sip with the taste he likes.


"Hey, just daydream," joked Nayaka who was now sitting in front of Abhimanyu's table. "See what, Bi?" nayaka asked and then turned to the table of the girl who had stolen Abi's attention.


"Oh him. Name's Ellea. He's a writer, and a regular customer at our cafe. Almost every morning he came, ordered the same coffee. Ah there is 1 thing you need to know. You can guess his mood just from the coffee he ordered." Nayaka looks enthusiastic about talking about Ellea. It was as if Ellea was a hot topic that was trending right now. But Abhimanyu was also very interested in hearing about it. The young man's eyes were burning.


"When the mood is good, he will order a latte. But on a bad day his choice was americano."


"Really, right?"


"of course. You don't trust me? Just watch it yourself. And one more thing, to get his attention, make a delicious coffee. Because he really likes coffee," said Nayaka while squinting one eye. He went back to the room that read "Manager" on the door.


The pancakes are ripe. Abi asked for the plate from Alicia. Because it is the duty of the 35-year-old woman in the cafe.


"Hopefully succeed, Bi!" Alicia exclaimed as if giving full support to the young man who was only a few hours old he knew. Even though Abhimanyu gave a cool look, but he was one of the men who was quite warm and good to the surrounding. It is proven that Abi has been accepted at this cafe, and is familiar with almost most people.


"The pancake, miss," said Abhimanyu, placing the plate on the table. Ellea looked at him, then smiled. "Thank you."


As Abi was about to leave, Ellea cleared her throat. "Generic, eum ... Your coffee is good." Behind that simple sentence, Abi smiled faintly. He looked up, saying thank you. Then pamit.


The atmosphere of the cafe is getting more and more crowded. Abhimanyu is also getting busy with dozens of coffees he makes. It was just that he was now looking at Ellea back with a surprised look. Near the girl was a young man of their age. He sat down in front of Ellea and had a pleasant conversation. But that's not what keeps Abhimanyu riveted. Apparently the young man was one of his enemies.


Gio who was still in the cafe was aware of Abhimanyu's strange gaze. He approached. "That's how a woman is, if you don't move fast then there will be another man approaching her. Come on, be brave. Don't be like your father. Cowardly. She's even liked your mother for a long time, and she's been silent because ...."


"What's wrong?" gio asked, understanding that Abi was not jealous, but there was something else.


"Kalla," said Abi staring intently at two of Gio's net.


For a moment Gio was glued. His mind was empty, but after that he turned to Ellea's table. "I don't have a saphire pendant like Adi. We should have him come. Ah shit. Why doesn't the Eagle share such a good thing with me!" Complain Gio, keep pressing the call to Adi.


Ellea and the man moved. Walk along to go. For a moment Ellea looked at Abhimanyu who was wiping his desk. Smilingly. Abi replied with a smile as well, but when he saw the man beside Ellea, Abi immediately gave a murderous look.


"Uncle, you better follow them. I still have to work. It's day one, there's no way I'm ditching to follow them."


"of course. You just stay here. Don't fuck around!"


Gio left according to his duty. While Abhimanyu continued to be agitated. He was worried about Ellea as well as his uncle. He knows how Gio is. Tempraments and often act without thinking. But he was one of the lucky humans. Always safe from the brink of death. Even repeatedly.

At 22:00


The cafe is empty. The sign with the words "Close" was on the door. Some of the lights have even been turned off. Before returning home, Nayaka always held a briefing. Discussing everything that happened all day. Record expenses and income. And also the complaints of its employees. Abhimanyu who was still thinking about the fate of Ellea and Gio just kept silent while daydreaming.


"Pig!" Call Nayaka. All eyes were on Abi who was sitting in the corner. By ourselves.


"Yes, Ka?" abi asked a little nervously.


"Before going home, make 1 espresso and send it to this address," told Nayaka, giving a piece of paper with the words Ellea complete with the address.


Abhimanyu's eyes sparkled. It was as if this was one way to be able to find out the condition of the girl.


"Oh, eum, all right."


"Just ordered that and I thought your house was in the same direction. You don't mind, do you?"


"Ah, Eum of course. No problem."


Abi immediately made 1 cup of his best espresso. Some employees have started out with tired bodies. Every day this cafe is always crowded. Their customers are always many. Besides being famous for good coffee, some of the snacks are also very delicious. Moreover, the workers also seem friendly and good.


Abi started walking on the sidewalk, carrying 1 bag of paper bags in his right hand. He decided to walk because it was late and public transportation was few. After all Abhimanyu prefers to walk, it's one of his forms of exercise every day.


He arrived at a luxurious apartment. Go through each door to find 4 rows of numbers. 1350.


His fingers poked softly onto the black-painted wooden board. He pressed the doorbell once.


"Beforehand," cried a woman from within. The sound of footsteps that sounded a little running made Abi immediately prepare. His rhythmic heartbeat quickly made a sweaty hair created on his forehead. He wiped it with the end of his shirt. And try to be as calm as possible.


A smile makes Abi's heart rhythm faster. The smile of the girl he had just met today, and was able to anesthetize Abi's gaze.


"Hi ..," said Ellea, who was in her sleeping pajamas with a hello kitty pattern.


"Eum, Nayaka told me to deliver this espresso," Abi said showing the bag she was carrying.


"Ah, thank you." Ellea shut the door and took the bag from Abi's hand. The young man was confused half to death.


"Why see me like that?"


"Eum ... Where are you?" ask Abi stammering.


"I want to drink coffee while sitting in the park. Why?"


"Those nights?"


"Why indeed?"


"That's dangerous! What if there's a bad guy? Especially you're a girl."


Ellea fell silent, staring at Abi's two eyeballs that showed her concern. The girl smiled. Circling the hand on Abhimanyu's wrist. "Then, accompany me for a moment. How's it?"


Abi's heart was racing faster. His hand trembled a little. Brushed away Ellea's delicate hand. "Sorry I'm busy!" He immediately walked away. But the girl continued to follow Abi down to the bottom floor. "Hey .. wait for me!" ellea's screams didn't stop her steps.


Arriving at the parking lot, Ellea accelerated her steps until now standing in front of Abi.


"You're so mean. Just ignored me after worrying about me."


"You're the one who wants to have coffee in the park, right? Why should I accompany you? I have a lot of business!" Abi walked in the other direction to avoid Ellea.


"Hey! I don't even know your name!" ellea screams. And now again put his position in front of Abhimanyu.


Abi grunts sebal. Ellea reached out as a sign of introduction. Although he knew that the young man in front of him already knew his name.


"Pig. Abhimanyu," he said without looking into Ellea's eyes.


"I'm Ellea."


"I already know."


"And your coffee is really good, Biyu."


The name was able to attract the attention of Abhimanyu. "You deaf? I'm Abhimanyu. Not Biyu!"


"Yes, I know. And Biyu is a suitable call for you. If I have to call Abhimanyu, it's too long. So I shortened it, Biyu."


Abi took a deep breath and exhaled it violently.


"You'll be all right."


"Because we know, you must not reject my invitation. Lookie! Park there. That's close, isn't it?" Point Ellea towards a plot of land decorated with bougenville flowers. Abi looked at that place. Even though it is late, it turns out there are still many people who are active around here. Even in the park. There are just sitting alone with a laptop on his lap, or just a walk around the park. However, there are 1 thing that makes Abi immediately agree to Ellea's request. "All right, I'm with you." He immediately took Ellea by the hand and walked into the garden.
