Same Marriage as the Former
15. A Day With Gilang

"Son Echa.." call Aunt Sakka while yelling a little.

Echa also turned to be surprised to see the woman who turned out to be Aunt Sakka called him and walked up to him. What business does the former aunt call him? What does she want to do with Echa?

"Yes aunt, what's wrong?" Reply Echa when Aunt Sakka has arrived before him.

"Sorry before if aunt sassy talking like this, but aunt wants to ask for help just as you can yah?" Said Aunt Sakka.

"Emm, what do you want aunty for help?" Ask Echa confused.

"Tante does not know what your relationship with Sakka actually is, but Aunt can see if Sakka is very happy if you are on his side. So aunty, please ask Echa to want to nemenin Sakka and help her get well. Because since her late mother died, Sakka became very workaholic and her life was no longer colored."

"Ma-mama Sakka has no aunt?" Echa was shocked to be in disbelief.

"Yes, a few years ago. Doesn't anyone tell you what it is?" Said Aunt Sakka, who was returned with a headband by Echa.

Echa was so shocked, how could Sakka not tell her at all. Echa's thoughts go straight to the events of a few years ago when Echa severed her relationship with Sakka. As Echa recalled, at that time he seemed to see a yellow flag and some bouquets. Is that the day of Mama Sakka's death? But I don't know, Echa doesn't remember very well. The more Echa remembers it, the more it hurts her head from remembering that past. 

"Yes, her mother doesn't exist. And now Sakka seems happy and there seems to be a similar taste to you, so auntie hope you also have the same taste of Sakka," explained Aunt Sakka smilingly staring at the sticky Echa.

Echa who had been listening, confused to respond like what. He will indeed help care for Sakka to recover, because he has promised Sakka as well. But, in order to regrow its taste in Sakka, Echa doesn't know. Echa is confused, especially now that he has accepted his match with Gilang.

"Cha?" Tegur Aunt Sakka for seeing the dreamy Echa.

"E-uh? But I don't promise ya tan" said Echa nervously.

"Hmm, you've got a gapapa that way." Reply Aunt Sakka smiled bitterly.

"But I promise to take care of Sakka until she recovers" said Echa.

"Thank you, Echa. You see, since his mother left, aunty and family have been sakka sakka as aunty's own son. That's why Auntie hopes for you" said Aunt Sakka, who was greeted with an awkward smile by Echa.

"Well, Aunt went back to Sakka's room again. Sorry to slow you down" said Aunt Sakka.

"No, it's okay tan." Reply Echa smiled slightly while slightly shaking her head.

Aunty Sakka turned back to Sakka's hospital room. Echa was silent for a moment to see the back of the person who had just invited him to talk until invisible, then he went back to continue his journey home.

Arriving at home, Echa cleans up and relaxes because it's Sunday and she's not going to the office. Echa decided to do his hobby first, rather than keep thinking about things at the Hospital earlier. He went to the front yard to water the plants with his black t-shirt and shorts. Yep! Echa used to be a hobby of gardening and cooking, but after that he no longer did it.

Tin.. Tin..

The sound of a car horn in front of his house rang. Echa approached the car owner.

"Who is it?" Echa Gumam.

As the car owner lowered the windshield, Echa frowned.

What's that guy here for? - thought Echa.

"Mas Gilang?" Echa is confused.

"Hi Cha, can I come in?" Said Gilang with his smile.

"Eh, oiya please mas." Sahut Echa while opening the gate for Gilang.

After that, Gilang got out of the car and Echa continued his activities that had been delayed. 

"You still like gardening?" Tanya Gilang who stood not far from Echa.

"Ep? No, just this time again." replied Echa awkwardly.

"Yes, yes, you are busy for sure," ledek Gilang glanced at Echa, who was only met with an awkward smile by Echa.

"Oiyah, did Gilang come here to see you? Or mother?" Ask Echa.

"Meet her son" said Gilang.

"Meet Reyhan? Tumben," asked Echa astonished.

"The mother's son is the same father, Reyhan doang?" Cynical Sakka.

"O-oh, me? Hih.. What's up?" Echa said while showing his funny grin, while Gilang just turned his eyeballs lazy.

"At busy?" Ask Gilang.

"Kan mas Gilang loi dariitadi I again watered plants," replied Echa while grunting quietly.

"This shit ain't nothing, is it?" Ask again.

"No," briefly Echa.

"Find the wind" asked Gilang.

"Mas Gilang making me walk?" Ledek Echa while raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, if you want to." Reply Gilang while turning his face away.

"May, the boss is also home." Said Echa.

"Get in first mas, Echa change clothes first for a while." Said Echa again, then went straight into the house.

When Gilang went into the House of Echa, it turns out there was a mother Echa there.

"Assalamualaikum," said Gilang.

"Eh-there is Gilang, waalaikumussalam. Sit here Gilang," said the mother.

"Yes tan" said Gilang.

"You want to go with Echa, huh?" Ask mother.

"Yes, I'll take Echa for a walk, can't I aunt?" Gilang Permit.

"May be the time of the gabby, all approaches." Ledek mother while smiling.

"Hehehe...Aunty same as mama likes to sneak that," said Gilang chuckled awkwardly.

"Yes the name is also-" said the mother who was cut by Echa.

"Let's go, '" invited Echa who had just come down from the second floor wearing black pants, black T-shirts, and outer boxes.

"Oh, yaudah come on." Gilang.

"Bun, Echa says yes. Then later Echa does not go home, want to go to the Hospital again," said Echa.

"Oh yaudah if so, then ask anterin Gilang aja there all," said the mother.

"Easy, later the taxi pesen can also." Echa Reply.

"Ck, don't malem-malem means to his Hospital," said the mother.

"Echa can be martial, just calm down." Echa Sahut.

"You are, if you say. Gilang, Aunty asked for help yes later anterin Echa to the Hospital where Gatha was treated, want to stay there he said." Said mother to Gilang, Echa immediately rolled her eyes lazy.

"Oh yeah tan, ready." Said Gilang while nodding his head.

"Sorry if ngerepotin ya Gilang," said the mother felt bad.

"Yes be careful" said the mother.

It turns out Gilang brought Echa to a park that there is a lake there.

"This park..." Gumam Echa examines the surrounding garden.

"That's a real rame right now," he continued with sadness.

"Yes, you've never been here again, have you?" Tanya Gilang, who was only returned with a headband by Echa.

"Pantesan, because it was right to arrive in Indonesia I immediately visited this park almost every day. Though I thought you still like to come here, but it turns out I never met you every here," said Gilang while staring at the sticky Echa.

"Hmm, sorry." Briefly Echa looked down.

"Why apologize again? Heheh, it's a lupain." Said Gilang while cackling forcefully.

"Oiyah, did she say Gatha was sick? What pain?" Gilang asked, and suddenly Echa stiffened at Gilang's question.

"His Gerd relapsed and is now in a coma in the ICU," cold Echa.

"Koma? How can?" Kilang Shock.

"It can't be hard to talk about that first, can it?" Sinis Echa glanced at Gilang and passed sitting on the surrounding chair.

No, it's not that Echa doesn't want to look guilty. But right now, he wanted to let go of all the burdens of his mind. And that's what made him agree to Gilang's invitation.

"Why didn't I invite you here?" Tanya Gilang turned her attention while picking up the pebbles around her feet on her feet.

"Why?" Sahut Echa is short.

"For a great mum, it takes refreshing." Said Gilang while throwing pebbles into the lake.

"Sama" said Echa as she stared straight at the lake.

"Don't cuek-cuek dong Cha, how would you like to have fun if that cake." Gilang complains and looks at Echa and approaches her.

Echa just bergeming to respond to him. After a moment of silence, Echa opened her voice.

"Couldn't you say today I took my brother Gilang I was like first?" Echa asked looking at Gilang who was sitting next to her.

"Not only today is also gapapa," replied Gilang with a sweet smile.

"Tell?" Tanya Echa made sure, who replied a nod by Gilang while smiling.

"Rise it yuk," point Echa at a bike rental.

"Bicycle?" Tanya Gilang made sure, which answered the nod of the head and the typical grin of Echa.

"Race," challenged Echa while raising both eyebrows.

"Random as hell are you, won't you be tired?" Wonder Gilang frowned.

"Udah ayok," invite Echa to pull Gilang's hand.

"Bang, rent his bike two well," said Echa to the bicycle renter.

They paddled each of their bicycles around the park.

"We start here yes," said Echa, who was replied by a nod by Gilang.

"Three, two, one, g-o!" exclaim Echa, then start pedaling his bike.

"Ihhh, Gilang cheated!!" Shouted Echa, looking at Gilang who pedaled first before the Echa count was complete

"Work dong racing if you can," exclaimed Gilang from a considerable distance from Echa.

They also ride bicycles with each other racing. Until finally, Gilang who reached the finish line first.

"Yeayy, I won." said Gilang mocked at Echa who just arrived.

"cheat!" Ketus Echa sulking.

"Buy drink yuk, thirsty right?" Take Gilang, and Echa just follows him without saying anything.

"Drink first." Said Gilang while giving a bottle of drink to Echa.

"Later Echa replace," said Echa still with ketus.

"Don't sulk anymore, dong, I buy ice cream, will ya?" Persuade Gilang.

"Really yes? A treat, right?" Echa asked with her lips.

"Yeah ahaha," Gilang replied with a slight laugh.

"Aren't you laughing?" Cynical Echa.

"Your face is funny" said Gilang.

"Ck, let's go get some ice cream?" Jutek Echa while turning his eyeballs lazy.

"Oiyah let's go" said Gilang.

When they got their own ice cream in their hands, they ate while walking towards the seats around the lake. However, suddenly Echa's mischievous idea appears.

"Mas Gilang want to?" Say Echa while thrusting a little remaining ice cream into Gilang's mouth.

"Why? Don't like?" Wonder Gilang while trying to lick the ice cream that Echa is offering. But suddenly Echa pushed the ice cream right in Gilang's nose.

"Hhhh...Echaa!!" Shouted Gilang at Echa who had run from before him.

"Hahahahahah, rasain wlee.." Echa exclaimed from a distance while sticking out her tongue.

"Observe you!" Said Gilang running after Echa.

It was getting late in the afternoon and began to show the color of his waist. The two humans who can be said to be quite mature are still fun chasing while laughing like a child. People around who see it may think that they are lovers who love each other. But no one knows the content of their hearts. Are they both kasmaran? Or is it just one of them feeling it?

Hap.

Gilang manages to catch Echa by pulling her hand and holding her in his arms. Echa also hugged Gilang's waist back. They looked into each other's eyes and then laughed happily. And plopped down on the grass by the lake.

The sound of breaths from each of them was heard from each other. Echa and Gilang both spread their hands still lying on the grass. While breathing by looking at the sky and feel the cool afternoon breeze in the park.

"Today you are so different," said Gilang turned to Echa who closed his eyes with a smile.

"Different from the Echa I met at dinner last night. Today my old Echa came back. I was very fond of cha," said Gilang who had changed his position to face Echa completely.

Echa was still flinching in place. Echa was not aware that he could do it after this with Gilang. It seems, indeed this is the true nature of Echa. His cold and indifferent attitude was only so that he did not look weak. And honestly, he was comfortable with Gilang. But only brother and sister, nothing more.

"And I've said before, if today I want to take the Gilang mas so my brother kayak first. Yes, it means that Echa must also be cheerful kayak first right," explained Echa when opening her eyes and turning to smile at Gilang.

"Can you forever not be Echa kayak gini?" Please Gilang, whereas Echa only replied by raising her shoulders and smiling wryly.
