The Delayed Soul
Chapter 52

Andini's arrival delayed the break time of Syafira and Lidya ma'am. They no longer discuss the existence of Adel there, both Syafira and Bu Lidya trying to keep the good name of Adel and Varel in front of Andini, they also want to keep Andini feeling by not continuing the conversation.

Adelia chose to go to the kitchen to make them drink. He refused when Andini offered to help him with the exact reason there are many things they want to discuss about marriage later.

"You're here, Ndin. Accompany brother and mother, if only for a drink I can," said Adel smiled when Andini questioned whether he could make a drink. The woman's maski smiled as she asked, but somehow sounded very dismissive in Adelia's ears. Is Adelia that bad? Adel won't bother about it. In the future, there were more important things that he had to think about.

Adelia chose to go to the kitchen to make them drink. He refused when Andini offered to help him with the exact reason that there were many things they wanted to discuss about marriage later.

After Adel left for the kitchen, Andini memgibrol with syafira and Lidya ma'am. Because it is rare to meet, probably the last time, about a year ago when Syafira brought his family to vacation in the city.

Varel, who had been quiet since, began to be uncomfortable among the three women who were talking. He chose to go out to see the children of Shafira. He did not care what Andini and her mother talked about.

"Am I that stupid, until just make a drink in doubt," muttered Adel, not lying if he began to have a sense of annoyance to Andini.

Unknowingly, there was Varel leaning on the door leaf watching the woman mengedumel while pouring water into the glass. The man deliberately went through the back door of the kitchen to meet Adelia.

"Ish, um! Just ngagetin, what? How come it's here?" adel asked the tiptoed when he heard the whisper from Varel.

The man did not say, he actually rushed into the kitchen, approaching Adel who was making drinks.

"Why did you say that? There's no relationship? Didn't we agree to..."

"It's just like that, isn't it?" cut Adel fast.

"We have nothing to do but brothers. Our status is still tied to others" Adelia said.

"Alright, I'll finish my business with Andini now. And thou.... Finish your business with the Echoes!" varel said firmly. He turned his body to go back to the living room.

Adel hurriedly prevented Varel, he hugged the man from behind, "Don't now," he said.

"I can't help it anymore, it's gonna drive me crazy, Del. I want this to be over soon" Varel said.

"I beg you, om. At least let my brother calm down. Look at how shocked he was, I let my brother down. Can't imagine how big brother feels if we say right now. I was afraid, really scared for my brother to be angry let alone disappointed with me," said Adel.

Varel snorted, "then, how do I feel, Del? I want this all done quickly. I don't want to pretend I'm okay without you. Or do you really want to see me marry Andini?" the accusation.

Adel shook his head on Varel's back, "That's the least I want" he said.

Varel took off Adel's hand that was coiled around his stomach, he then turned his body to face Adel. The girl's eyes were red almost back to crying. He pulled the girl in front of him into his arms.

No one spoke, the two just enjoyed each other's embrace to slightly reduce the tightness in the chest of both.

"i have to bring drinks outside, om. Can you let go first?" adel and Varel said.

"I don't want to let you go anymore, I'm afraid you're going away from me again" Varel said.

" I'm not going anywhere, just bring a drink ahead. They will be suspicious. Om go there first but through the back again, I follow,"

"No way, there's Andini. I'm lazy, later you are not comfortable if you join there. I can't bear it, it must hurt here" Varell pointed at Adel's chest without touching it. And Adel doesn't deny that.

"Del, drink it mana. He said he wanted to make us a drink, how long?" the sound of Lidya's mother approaching the kitchen makes Adel reflex to push Varel's chest. Fortunately the man was not lost. Varel immediately raised a protest through his eyes, "Kok is pushed anyway?"

"Om goin' there, it's mommy's here, you know, it's gonna get caught" Adel kicked out, he was worried.

"No, let me know, mama" said Varel cuek.

"Oommm," Adel pleaded.

Adel shook his head, "It's not yet time," he refused.

"Oh, if so, I'm here. Hugged you gini, let mama see, we were immediately married for sure," Varel hugged Adel instead.

"Ish, it will not be that easy, there is a hurricane. Go away first" Adel kicked out again but the man remained unmoved,

"Ommm.., um....,"

"No way, Adelia,"

Dugh! Adel stepped on Varel's foot.

"Ouch, sick. How to get stepped on anyway? He said, baby, but hurt gini? It should be in love, '" protested Varel.

Adel glared, "not the right time to discuss that. Get out!" said it.

"Request is denied!"

Varel was about to hug Adel back, but the woman swiftly dodged. Which makes Varel tick.

Damn, the sound of footsteps of Ms. Lidya was heard getting closer, "Busy in, yes Del. I'm helping you if you're not done yet," a little strange, why did Miss Lidya have to code you first to get into the kitchen. And that voice made Adel even more anxious. Because, Varel kekeh did not want to go from there.

Adel turned her body as she stepped into the kitchen. His heart was pounding very fast when Lidya's mom appeared in front of him, like someone who was caught cheating on "Business...." Adel gripped tightly on the kitchen table.

"Old, honey? I'll help you, okay?" tawar bu Lidya's.

Adel frowned, why is the expression of Bu Lidya ordinary, if he does not suspect the existence of Varel there, he thought. He looked around and could not find Varel there. He did not know if Varel darted away along with the entry of Lidya ma'am earlier.

Adel breathed a sigh of relief.

" Why are you? Find who?" ask Bu Lidya who went roaring.

"Ah no buk, this drink already so. Let me take it there, mommy first impression, I want to finish this for a second," Adel pointed to a bottle of raaa orange syrup on the table.

"All right, mom's there again, huh? I thought you were why so long ago. That Andini wants to leave, here just deliver porridge for Varel only. Where's the kid, huh? Want to be in the same pampitin prospective wife even say," said Ms. Lidya.

"I don't know where the buk is either. Maybe playing with the twins in the park again" said Adel.

Bu Lidya smiled, as if he could not believe what Adel said, "Tell him ahead, huh? Andini wants to leave. Go ahead first" he said and left.

Lidya's words make Adel feel strange, or is he the one who is too suspicious?

"Kok even bengong, later mama come here again, you know!" Varel suddenly appeared again from Bali door.

"Gosh, om. It made a big hanging" he thought the man was gone, apparently just clumping behind the kitchen.

" Here you go, listen to what mom said? Andini wants to say goodbye," he continued.

"Lazy ah," Varel leaned against the door leaf instead.

"Give up, but don't blame me if I'm craving!"

"But lapping!"

The cup!

Varel kissed Adelia on the cheek, "Later tonight I'll wait in the park" she whispered and left.

"Ck, basic!" Adel touched her blushing cheeks. He hurriedly took a drink that was full of glasses containing fresh orange flavor drink.
