Ep.16 - Remembrance of the Past


“Si Adinda where the hell? Turn is sought after the child is not nongol, my turn does not need the child is everywhere.”


Currently, Edelweis is looking for the whereabouts of Adinda. He needs something from the girl. The existence of Adinda has been sought since, but the woman was never found. I don't know where Adinda went.


“Sove!” Edelweis saw Sinta who was rushing about to leave. Sinta immediately approached Edelweis when her name was called the woman.


“Iya, ibbak. What's up?”


“Lo, see that girl?”


Sinta frowned at Edelweis' incomprehensible question. “Whose girl, mbak?”


“The girl..”.


“Ya, who?”


“It was loh, who liked together lo.” Suddenly Edelweis forgot the name Adinda or because from the beginning he did not care about the introduction of the woman.


Sinta berohria, “Adinda right, mbak means?” tanya Sinta who was immediately embraced by Edelweis. “Iya, where is he?”


“Usually anyway, Adinda's lunch hour in the canteen mbak.”


“Cantin?”


“Yes, we usually have lunch there. Ma'am, would you like to see him?”


“In canteen means?”


“Iya, ibbak. If you want, come with me. Adinda is also there waiting for me.”


Were it not for some business, perhaps Edelweis would have rejected it. However, due to compulsion he finally agreed to Sinta's invitation.


“Yaudah.”


The arrival of Edelweis since the beginning to the company alone has made a scene in this building, plus the woman is now walking into the canteen filled by ordinary employees. Important people like Edelweis, usually rarely come here. So, no doubt if the arrival of Edelweis this time much attention.


The atmosphere was crowded, momentarily silent. All eyes were on Edelweis now. Sinta who walked side by side with Edelweis, no less so the center of attention, even so with Adinda who was the purpose of Edelweis came here.


“Why so quiet gini?”


Adinda's desk friend, instead of answering directly but instead put his chin to point at Edelweis who is not far from them now.


Adinda turned her head, her eyeballs widened instantly when she saw Edelweis here, she looked at Sinta asking who immediately got a soft belt from the woman. She turned, turning her body to face Edelweis. “Mbak Edel, what's up mbak?” asked Adinda, she smiled widely.


Edelweis did not immediately answer, he circulated his attention to all that was here. “Why so on silent all?” ask Edelweis, of course with his jutek tone. “What is my presence interrupting here?” ask Edelweis again.


Adinda shook her head quickly, “No, mbak.” Adinda replied quickly, she injected Sinta who was standing behind Edelweis.


Sinta who understood what Adinda meant nodded, she immediately moved all her limbs to infiltrate everyone. Luckily, everyone understood immediately and went back to activating them before.


Sinta gave a clumsy smile as Edelweis turned to her, while Adinda heaved a sigh of relief as everything returned to normal.


“Sit, mbak. Sitting.”


Edelweis with a look of dislike that can not be lied to directly sit on the chair in question Adinda, he glanced at some people who were on the table. All of them who were caught staring at him, instantly turned their faces away, pretending not to notice Edelweis.


“So, mbak. What's up?”


Sinta sat beside Adinda, she was just as curious as Adinda why to the point that Edelweis met the woman. Especially hearing the story about Edelweis who defended Adinda yesterday, the more curious you become.


“Brownies yesterday, really you who made?”


Adinda nodded. “Iya. Why, mbak? Why not eat my brownies? Please, just fine, right?” asked Adinda worried, she was afraid of something happening to Edelweis and was afraid if she was also the one who had problems later.


Edelweis snorted, he put away the hand of Adinda who fumbled his hand. “Ih, don't hold me. Don't be too happy, too.”


“I'm afraid of why-napa.”


Edelweis twisted his eyes, he looked at Adinda again. “Gue wants every weekend that brownies are on my desk. And, when it comes to pay, you don't have to worry. I can pay many times over, lo brownies that. You just tell me only your account number, at that time I will immediately pay. Understand until here?”


Adinda still gawked at the utterance or rather the command of Edelweis, not even just Adinda, but Sinta and some people spelled the same as those who heard what Edelweis said.


“Gue please, you understand anyway. You are unlikely employees who are in this company, do not understand the same simple language that I said earlier.”


Edelweis stood up, confirmed his appearance and just walked away without saying anything. With elegant graceful steps, as well as emanated arrogance, Edelweis left with the gaze of everyone who could not be separated from him.


And, as Edelweis said. Adinda did that.


This is the first week since Edelweis said the order, in his hand there is already a box of provisions containing his brownies that Edelweis ordered that day.


“This, I put directly on his table?” adinda asked, she glanced at Sinta whom she met directly before she went to the Edelweis table. Although, the Edelweis table was very close to the Sinta table.


Sinta nodded, “Iya. At that time, Edel told him to put it on his desk. Uda, put aja.”


Adinda nodded, putting down the box. Post-it note with his handwriting immediately did not forget he pinned it on it.


“Jude, yuk! We have lunch, already hungry nih.” invite Sinta, her stomach worms have been asking to be filled since.


Adinda nodded, “Come! I'm hungry, too.”


They left the room to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Edelweis sat down, taking the note.


...‘Miss Edel, these are the same brownies I made yesterday. I hope it feels the same, yes. Oh, aye. Don't pay me, gakpapa. I'm happy if anyone likes my cake. Diabetic, yes mbak.’...


...Warm regards, Sister....


Unknowingly, the corner of Edelweis' lips smiled reading the contents of the note. However, he quickly normalized his facial expression of an ordinary bicycle.


“Lebay,” comment Edelweis.


Edelweis immediately opened the lunch box, his smile was immediately printed seeing several pieces of brownies that filled the lunch box. He took one brownie using a fork that happened to be tucked in it, he ate the sweet cake.


For a while, Edelweis was silent feeling the brownies in his mouth. And, when he felt these brownies still have the same taste, his eyes were slowly blurry. Tears, in his eyes.


“Mami...” Edelweis murmured, a sense of tightness began he felt.


flashback on~


“Honey, try it. Mami makes these brownies for you.”


Little Edelweis just opened his mouth as his mama fed his brownies just like that. His eyeballs instantly turned perfect, he smiled widely while chewing the brownies in his mouth. Edelweis.


“Enak, dear?”


Edelweis nodded again, he clasped both of his Mami shoulders affectionately. “Ih, mommy. Did Mami really make this?” Her mother nodded while smiling knots. “So much, Mam... Ih, Edel likes it anyway!”


“Really darling? You're not lying in front of Mami anymore, are you? Don't doubt there's Mami here, you praise. Later Mami's turn is not there, it turns out her brownies are not as delicious.”


Edelweis shook his head, "No, Mam. I didn't lie. This is the best brownie I have ever eaten!” praise Edelweis, she immediately embraces her Mami. “Mana, where? I want more.”


Mami Edelweis chuckled, she immediately pulled Edelweis' hand to come along towards the dining room. Looking at the many brownies on the table, Edelweis quickly picked up one large piece and devoured it without saying much.


“Sayang... Slowly dong. Nobody's gonna ask for it either, but there's a lot more. You'll be sprained, ah.”


Edelweis shook his head, his mouth full of Mami's brownies. “Can't, Mam. It's too good for me. Fix it, Mam. It is compulsory! Mommy has to do this every weekend. I want to eat this anyway, do not want to know.” said Edelweis kekeh, he chuckled.


“Siap, ready. What the hell is wrong with Princess Mami? Hm?”


flashback off


Every weekend, Edelweis ate the brownies that Mami made her what she asked for, which had her Mami's approval. However, the habit disappeared instantly these past few years. The habit disappears with the passing of the mother.


Edelweis covered his face with the palm of his hand, he was crying at this moment when he remembered his late Mami. Somehow, Adinda made brownies with a similar taste to the one her Mami had made. When he first tried it, Edelweis immediately poulted with the taste. The same taste as her mother once made her.


And, Adinda managed to make him remember his mother again.


Unwittingly, there was Adinda and Sinta who were looking at the crying Edelweis at this moment. They were not far from Edelweis. His intention was to go to the cafeteria should be undone when the wallet and mobile phone Sinta left behind. Instead of using Adinda's money first, they chose to go back to Sinta's desk to take the woman's item. However, they were actually surprised by the sight this time.


“That's it, actually Edel's crying?” asked Sinta in disbelief, her eyes could not be separated from Edelweis who was crying while eating brownies brought by Adinda.


“It turns out, mbak Edel is not as strong as we think, yes. Apparently, the Edel that we see is strong, the aura is dominant, even Edel who likes to talk spicy. There is a weak side as well. Mbak Edel can cry also turned out.”


***


Honestly, Edelweis was still angry at Jonathan for the man's remark last time. The pain was still he felt, it was difficult to forget just the words Jonathan threw at him.


In fact, when he crossed paths with Jonathan he deliberately avoided. Let the man know the taste, let his life suffer because of the attitude he showed. But Edelweis was wrong. Jonathan was not affected. In fact, it seemed that the man was enjoying life with Edelweis indifference. And, Edelweis doesn't like that.


And, unfortunately, he just had to meet Jonathan who was in the elevator. Just want to leave, undo his intentions. However, he did not want to make Jonathan more heartened. Finally forced, Edelweis stepped in and in this elevator there were only the two of them. Remember, both. There was no talk, just silence. Let alone chat, just say hello they do not do.


“Males was so,” snorted Edelweis, he stared at Jonathan's reflection from the elevator mirror.


The elevator went perfectly. Until arriving at the 5th floor, the movement of the elevator felt different. Unknowingly, Edelweis moved his feet one step closer to Jonathan. The anxiety he suddenly felt. And, sure enough. The anxiety became real, the elevator suddenly stopped moving.


“Loh, loh, how to stop gini anyway?” edelweis asked worriedly, he glanced at Jonathan who seemed equally anxious. “Jo, this why can I believe gini?”


“Gue also don't know,”


Jonathan tries to push the buttons on the elevator, hoping that the elevator will return to operation again. However, instead of better, there was a shock that made Edelweis quickly clutch Jonathan's arm.


Frightened, Edelweis began to sense it. Especially when the lights were bright, slowly twinkling like they were about to die.


“Jo, Jo, why are these lights? Jo, I don't want it dark. I don't want to.”


If you are anxious like this, the brain of Edelweis can no longer be invited to think. That fear he felt at this moment.


“Jo, game seek help. I don't want to get stuck here.” Edelweis blinked his eyes, he did not want to cry even though now it was difficult to hold the cry.


“Iya, yes. Here I also again seek help.”


“Hallo, Feb. This is elevator one why it suddenly stopped, huh? The lights are also flickering this. Please, I think there's been a technical error. Try to ask the technician directly to make this real. I caught this in the elevator. Yes, hunted. Soon I don't want to know.”


Jonathan breathed a rough sigh. It could be that the office is as good and sophisticated as this has a problematic elevator, plus the elevator is a special elevator of high officials of the company.


Jonathan glanced at the clock on his wrist, glancing at Edelweis who was still faithfully clutching his sleeve tightly. He who intended to remove the woman's hand from her arm, came to a halt when Edelweis refused.


“Please, Jo. Let me hold your hand this time. I'm really scared, Jo. I'm scared.”


Under the dim lights, Jonathan could see there was fear in the eyes of Edelweis.
