The Delayed Soul
Chapter 58

After meeting Andini, Adel. Go back to the boutique. Since the return from the cafe, the woman kept daydreaming, in her own mind.

Adel still does not believe what Andini said, but he also does not doubt Andini's confession earlier.

If he had been determined to stay with Varel before, now the desire is still the same. It's just, the humanity in him against that determination.

"Dell, helow!" Shahila waved her hand in front of Adel's face. Make that woman out of her daydream.

"Why, Sha?" ask Adel.

"To what is the reason, Del. The feeling from back then you daydreamed continuously, like thinking of something. What do you think, anyway? Where did you go? I'm afraid you're missing, Del. Last morning fitting came you look happy, now very different, why the hell?" ask Shahila.

"Gue's just not feeling well anymore, Sha. Dizziness my head" Adel said without explaining what caused the headache.

"Gue take a look at that, yuk!" tawar Shahila's.

"No need, ntar is good too. No need to go to the doctor. O yes, what's my guts?" Adel tried to divert the conversation.

"Lo's girlfriend!"

Adel frowned, "Boyfriend?"

"Kak Gema means, you are still in the status of lovers, right? He was worried that from earlier chat lo said he was not in reply, the phone also did not lift. Habits, you, ah!"

Adel took his phone, it turned out to be true. There were some missed calls and messages. Bujan is only from Echoes, but also from Varel.

" Ntar deh, I telepin back kaka Gema, now want to finish this first," said Adel.

" Yaudah, I just want to tell you that, I'm back in my room" Shahila returned to her room leaving Adel who was actually not feeling heavy.

Varel, who felt ignored by Adel because both the message and the call were not answered, immediately searched for the whereabouts of the woman when she returned home. However, apparently Adel was chatting with Syafira while joking with Nala. That made him unable to directly invite Adel to speak together. He chose to turn his body towards his room.

Adel who noticed Varel's whereabouts while he and Nala were joking just now, only slightly glanced at the man, as if not looking at him.

"Well home, Rail?" greet Bu Lidya who was in the dining room while snacking.

"Hem" said Varel. He stopped his steps, watching what his mother was eating. Teryata rujak mango young. Varel also took one piece of young mango and then he cocol to sambal.

Varel immediately melted the mango in his mouth, "Good God, this is a mango. So asem!" he said, his tongue sticking out, his eyes brushed with a wrinkled forehead because it was too acidic.

"The hell, from earlier mama did not eat acid, really. It's delicious, fresh!" sahut bu Lidya.

Varel immediately looked suspiciously at his mother, "Mama's tongue seems to be problematic, it's like a man cravings," he said without waiting for the statement of Lidya's mother, he immediately continued his footsteps to his room.

Until dinner time, Varel had no chance to talk to Adel. The woman seemed to have avoided him.

In fact, at the dining table, Adel equally sikai tkai glanced at him. It's not like usually where the woman would steal a look at him at dinner.

Varel deliberately hardened the sound of his spoon and fork in order to attract Adel's entertainment, but in vain. Adel was equally unperturbed by his actions. It was precisely Nala who protested, "Uncle! Noisy huh! What do you want to do with the drums?" his protest.

Meanwhile, Syafira immediately stopped the little Zayn who was preparing to hit his plate with a spoon, imitating his uncle.

Varel did not reply, he glanced at Adels ekai again. The woman remained indifferent," Ck, what's wrong with her," she wrote softly. He then put his spoon and fork just like that, not continuing to eat when there was no half that entered his mouth.

"Where are you going, Rail?" ask Lidya ma'am.

"Udah full, ma. Mau ngadem outside, it's hot in here!" Varel.

"hot? It's a cold feeling, buk," Syafira said.

Bu Lidya glanced at Adel, the woman was silent shortly after Varel's departure before finally returning to continue eating.

Bu Lidya knows, the two children must be in his mind.

"It's probably because we're not used to it here, baby. We're used to the hot air in Jakarta, so it's cold here" Ms. Lidya and Syafira agreed.

"Is Adel also feeling hot, dear? Maybe you want to fend too?" ask Lidya to Adel.

Adel was astonished to hear it, he looked at Lidya ma'am, "No buk, I'm ordinary. Not hot or cold, really," he said.

While out there, Varel was really feeling uneasy. Somehow the feeling is not good at all for Adelia's attitude from day to night. They were okay before, really good.

As usual, finished eating, Adel washes the cutlery in the kitchen. That chance Varel used to meet him.

After washing the dishes, Adel turned his body, intending to go up to his room. However, he was a little surprised when he saw Varel already standing in front of him. As usual, the man entered from the back door.

"I want to talk" said Varel.

"Em no, I mean, we. We need to talk, baby," she said quickly.

"I'm tired, om. Get some rest!" adel said, he passed Varel just like that.

The man instantly prevented her by grabbing her hand. "Why are you avoiding me? Am I wrong? Say, Adelia. Don't be like this, we'll talk about it" he said.

"There is nothing to talk about, everything is clear" Adel said.

Varel frowned confusedly, "I mean? Is this about Andini? You know I haven't had time to meet him, he's been too busy lately,"

"Too busy, or indeed om who does not want to be separated from him actually?"

Varel's getting confused, "Kok saying that? Is it clear who I'll choose?"

"Alas, I'm not that choice. I'm tired of pretending" said Adel, which made Varel even more clueless.

"What do you mean?" cecar Varel's.

"Yes, I'm tired of pretending to like the same om, just because I feel guilty because I used to hurt om.But, it turns out the heart can not be lied to, I still can not. I'm tired of the theatrics because there's no feeling in the first place,"

Degh's!

I don't think Varel believes what Adel said.

" Don't joke, baby. This isn't funny. After we've been through a lot of things, joking you're the one I don't like the most,"

" I'm sorry if you don't like it. But, that's the truth. Excuse me!" Adel threw the rag he used to dry his hands on the table and ran out of the kitchen.
