The Delayed Soul
Chapter 48

Varel returned to his car. Before it. He went out of town later in the day, he wanted to see Andini first. However, it turned out that the woman could not, she said she was very busy at the moment. Later in the afternoon he could meet because he was going to the boutique, he said.

"Yes, next time we talk. Today I have to get out of town" Varel said. He had to be patient again to talk to Andini.

"Is anything important, ma'am?" ask the woman across the phone.

"Ah no, tomorrow if I'm back and you have time to meet,"

"Alright klu so. O Yes, the suit for the mas is fit, huh? Nobody wants to be foxed anymore, right? There is still time if there is something that is not in accordance with the wishes of the mas," asked Andini.

Varel was silent for a moment. I want to feel like he is being frank now, but it would be better if they meet and speak kindly from heart to heart. This will hurt Andini very much.

"Nothing needs to be fixed" he replied later.

"Oh, okay then. Be careful, huh?"

"Hem, you also take care of your health, don't be tired" Varel said. Suddenly in his heart he felt guilty about Andini.

"Yes, I'm not tired" Andini said.

Varel hung up after there was nothing else they talked about.

"Still playing secrets about your illness? He deserves to know, Ndin! You're getting married soon!" doctor Renata.

"Yes, I'll tell him, but later after we get married. I want to go to Singapore at Mas Varel town, so I can have some honeymoon!" andini smiled. He was not busy working, but was in the hospital because last night he was back drop.

"You're pushing yourself too hard, Ndin. You should've said it to your fiancee a long time ago,"

"I used to be too scared, Ren. Afraid that she won't accept me with this illness. But now my fear is growing again. Afraid that I don't have enough time to be his wife. That's why I want to get married soon" said Andini.

"Especially, now that the woman has returned and is slowly shaking the heart of mas Varel.And what I fear most now is the loss of mas Varel , before he lost me," he continued in his heart.

"Let's know, I'm too dizzy to think about your story. I hope that after you get married, you'll go to Singapore soon,"

"Hopefully it's not too late, huh?" sahut Andini's.

"You must be strong and persevere, against this pain. You certainly can, two years you have fought hard and succeeded until now, even though your disease is like this. All because you have the passion to live, Andini. This time you can definitely take longer, especially after getting married later, I hope your survival spirit will increase as well,"

Andini smiled and nodded, "So far mas Varel is my most powerful medicine, which mamou has kept me going. But, this time I really feel tired, Ren. But, you're right, I have to be passionate for the sake of Varel, "his inner self.

"Lo's plate?" asked Shahila who had just entered her room.

"Yes, my bad luck. I couldn't sleep last night" Adel said.

Shahila sat in front of Adel, "No. Why sleep?" tanyanya.

"Yes can't sleep," Adel couldn't possibly tell Shahila the truth. After all, the woman was the younger sister of the man who had the status of her lover.

A lover? Ah yes, Adel remembered that he and Gema had even officially dated. Oh, my God, why is it so complicated, he thought.

"Lo why? Any problem? I saw you smile just coming. Now your face is like a shirt piled up in the corner of the wall, tangled! Any issues?" ask Shahila.

"That's the matter?" Hah, if only Adel could confide in Shahila, he was eager to ask the opinion of his best friend. But, her current position as her brother's girlfriend is not possible.

"No, what's the problem. Everything is fine, okay?" adel's words reassured.

"Really's? But I saw it like it wasn't. The om-om lo problem that wants to be married?" guess Shahila.

"Om Varel's? No, what dizzy thinking. No one knows" said Adel.

"The more you give up, the more you know not. I saw you drive him here. I saw you smiling right down from the car he was in" Shahila said.

Adel's eyes widened, he did not expect that Shahila had caught him earlier.

"I don't know what happened, because now you're more closed to me, not like it just yet. As a friend, I want the best for you. And as a sister to my brother, I want the best for him, he's the only brother I have, you know what I mean? I don't want any of you to get hurt, Del, " said Shahila.

" I never meant to be evil with Gema, Sha. You know that," said Adel.

"Yes I know, and you know that Gema's brother is really sincere. Though I'm sure, he knows that your past problems have not been widespread, your heart is still stuck in the prospective soul mate. And strangely, he realized he was just a runaway, but he looked so happy. My brother is so good. But, I just don't like to see him like this, my heart as his sister does not accept, I'm sick to see him.

Adel nodded, "I'm sorry, Sha," Adel said sincerely.

" I just want to say that, I still have a lot of work to do. How's Andini's dress?" Shahila changed the subject. He did not want to interfere too much with the affairs of his brother and best friend. They are both adults, already understand the responsibility with what they do.

" A little more, later in the afternoon he wants to check again he said," replied Adel.

"Ribet really tuh people, even though it's perfect, according to want him at the beginning, eh turn already so instead ask in this change it. like intentionally deh," said Shahila.

"Hus, the customer is king. If it is not in accordance with his wishes, he must be repaired. It's gonna be a once-in-a-lifetime moment, Sha. Surely Andin also wants the best version of him," said Adel.

Shahila shook her head and sighed, "Gue doesn't understand the same way you think. I think you will be soiled as to hate that same Andini, uh even want to make a dress as good as that, I have thought about the fate of your love, I can be premature graying know not! I went back to the room, mending counting money rather than thinking about the love story of people, complicated, complicated!," he said and went from there.

Adel shook his head to see his best friend waltzing out from before him. Shahila's love story is not as complicated as her own. Shahila is a woman who does not want to be complicated with matters of the heart, so she always relaxes every time she breaks up with her boyfriend. I don't know how many times he changed girlfriends while they were abroad.

Unlike Adel who is too late in his first love story to fail to move on. Though he also wanted to try like Shahila, who was indifferent about romance, the daughter of ordinary love, breaking up again or breaking up looking again, but always failed.

Adel tapped the pen on the table, he remembered the Echoes. Suddenly his phone rang, the name Echoes over his phone screen.

"Long life, just think of the phone directly," he murmured.

"Assalamualaikum, brother," he said.

"Waalaikumsalamsalam, what else?" ask the man across the phone.

"Just got to this boutique, brother,"

"Have breakfast?" ask Echoes.

Adel turned his head, looking at the box of supplies Varel gave.

"Not yet, but this is bringing supplies from home. Did you eat?"

"No chance, baby. It's on the road for a meeting, again,"

"Yes to eat dong kak, later sick," Adel told himself, should not ask, later Echoes even more baper, he thought.

"Yes, honey. Gini's attention, it's starting, baby, huh?" ask Echoes.

"I'm..." Adel didn't know what to say. He tapped his head, sorry for making a good boy a baper.

"It's okay, slow down, I'm still waiting. I hang up the phone, later if I'm free to call again," said Gema. He did not want to ruin his morning mood with disappointment.

True said Shahila, as good as it was Gema, and stupidly he who still could not turn away from Varel, "Yes, brother Gema, when did his brother return?"

"Not yet to know, if the work here is done I immediately return. It's okay, isn't it? Who knows if I went a long time you feel missed, already yes, baby. I really hung up. Assalamualaikum,"

"Waalaikumsalam, sis," replied Adel.

Adel breathed deeply. Why when a man who is his girlfriend called him dear feels ordinary. But it just feels so special when a man who has the status of another woman's future husband who calls him like that he feels flowery. And Adel ceaselessly condemned his stupidity. Love is often coupled with wounds, but also close to the ignorance of logic.

"Why are you too good, still good when you know that it's just for my escape. I'm sorry, Brother Gema," he murmured softly. He picked up the box he had brought. He will eat it while working.

"Don't, food is always good" he murmured with a smile as he began to chew.

If Varel has already decided to tell Andini the truth, he should also be honest with Gema immediately. Suddenly his appetite was gone, "Why is this complicated anyway?" his weakness.

"Don't forget the provisions are spent, yes dear," a chat from Varel entered. Which makes Adel's appetite back again, he does not want to disappoint Varel who has struggled mask for himself.

Adel took a portrait of the food he was eating and sent it to Varel, "Yes, this is again in the meal. Tasty... Thanks omm," the caption accompanying the photo he sent.

"Sweet bnget anyway... Who eats." Varel replied again. Making Adel's cheeks that bulge because the food in his mouth becomes red.

"What the hell, om. I like it not clear!" inwardly, he sent a photo of his food but in the comments of his person. He no longer replies to Varel's messages and chooses to keep his phone in a bag. Or he will forget his job if he already holds a mobile phone and sends a message with his girlfriend.

"There's a perfect, better man with an echo in front of you, Adelia! But why do you even choose love with prospective husbands? What is your logic so basic?" adelia's protest to herself.
