UNREQUITED LOVE'S
WHERE SHOULD I START

I started to get caught in a tangled thread that made me not understand where should I explain this complexity? But I can't avoid it all. I need to prepare for the next mess. ~Baskoro Gunawan~

FROM SEDAYU ~JOGJAKARTA, YANKTIE CONGRATULATES READING THIS SIMPLE STORY

\~\~\~\~\~

“if that's not proven, I'll make Titie crawl apologizing to my daughter. Catch it” men's threats of business card owners who he still holds continues to buzz in Titie's ear.

‘It turns out that mamas knew his father and grandfather Vella. He also asked Ms. Yayuk. So what's their relationship? Why would papa Vella bet that mamas would never cheat with Vella?’ Titite was silent.

‘Now I'm a widow?’ thought again

“Sorry, business class is up. We're taking economy class to Singapore,” Endro tells Vella and Arie. He didn't stay at the hotel because Mr. Guruh held him down. Endro was even happy to know that his daughter was very welcome Arie's family.

“Nothing Dadd,” says Vella.

“Bude, this is Mom asking bude Ningrum to make me a pack of mutton, so make a meal here. If I want to go to Singapore first,” Vella opens tupperwarre containing serundeng made by Pakde Wito's wife.

“Mothers who request to bude Yank?” ask Arie.

“Iya Bang. Yesterday Ade again chat with mbak Tiwi because it is brought this bundle. If there is no Tini and Tiwi mbak, I don't know what Ade kemaren,” said Vella.

“Eh, Ade sampe forgot not to say thank you to mom. Last night I had a conversation. Later tonight deh Ade phone mom,” Vella forgot. Because Wiedo also only asked how his condition was.

‘So close is he to the Arie family? They just became. Apparently Arie's family type is the same as my family. In the past Laras also directly received my extended family without bad judgment at all even though Laras has ‘kotor’. Endro can judge that Arie's family is very good.

“Mom would have known if you forgot Yank,” they continued lunch. In the afternoon, Endro, Arie and Vella will leave for the airport to leave for Singapore.

Endro has refused Guruh's pact to take them to the airport. He said he had ordered a taxi.

“Matur nuwun sanget help and welcome. Sorry if my daughter and I are troublesome,” Endro said goodbye.

“What a hassle. And again because of the relationship Vella and Arie we have become brothers,” said Guruh pakde.

“Don't forget, next month comes to Tini's wedding and the next month Lutfi's wedding,” bude Nawang reminds Endro.

“Injih Mbak's. The invitation just tell Arie. God willing to be rich. If you go to Vella even often ketlingsut,” replied Endro.

“Ih Daddy loves his own son,” Vella of course protested to hear his daddy say that. And all laugh. They're glad Vella doesn't look sad.

“Pakde, Bude, Vella says goodbye first,” Vella kisses the back of Bude Nawang's hand. And Bude hugged and kissed the girl's cheek.

“Ati-ati yo Nduk,” sincere bude advice.

“Back from Singapore to here yo Nduk,” pakde rubbing top of Vella head.

“Njih pakde,” sahut Vella.

Since then Ibas tried to contact the phone number Endro listed on his business card. But he hasn't been able to call. Since the storm in the lecturer room earlier, Ibas looking for Vella. But the girl doesn't exist. His friends said the girl wasn't present today.

‘Where are you Nak?’ Ibas is convinced that Vella is the daughter of Dika and himself.

“I'm going home,” with a heavy heart Ibas said he didn't teach today. Some colleagues who knew the talak incident earlier understood. They also support that Ibas came home rather than not consent to give courses today.

‘I'm up, Laras wants him to take it or he stays here. This is definitely my home before we got married. So this and the car is not a treasure gono gini. He had to get out of my house today too,’ all sorts of thoughts were raging in Ibas's mind.

“Mbok, tell his mother Laras. He also had to leave this house today. Whether he wants to take Laras or not,” Ibas left a message to his daughter's nanny. He's never gonna talk to Titie again,

“Njih Pak,” without much question symbok answer yes.

Vella takes the middle position between Endro and Arie. He turned his head to the lover. Between the two men he loved. But now he is more comfortable with his girlfriend.

Because of sleep deprivation last night, Vella had not yet taken off. Arie pity, he pulled Vella to sleep more comfortably.  It takes two hours and twenty minutes from the airport to the airport. Not from Jogja's house to Endro's apartment in Singapore.

“You want dinner?” ask Endro. On the plane Vella continued to sleep so that Arie would not eat.

“I'm lazy Dadd, later until the apartment buy pizza just across from all buy fruit. Or you can buy pasta if you and Daddy want to eat in place. I want to go straight to my room,” replied Vella.

“Good. We're going to an Italian restaurant in front of Bang's apartment. Take away from anyone nggambeg,” said Endro. He's also tired of mind.

‘Somewhere from where I should start opening this fact,’ is the burden of Endro's mind since he knew that the beginning of this disaster was the attitude of Ibas who always looked at Vella.

“You slept in this room Bang. This is Daddy's room and there's Vella's room,” Endro tells him where his room is and Vella's room is. This apartment is a very old apartment. Yoyok bought it since Endro went to college.

Early college Endro and Laras rented an apartment. Then when someone sold this apartment Endro reported it to Yoyok and immediately bought it. Apartment with three rooms, there is a kitchen, living room that joins the family room and a small warehouse. All rooms have a bathroom so there is no extra bathroom outside the room.

“This is an ancient apartment. She is older than Vella. Several times it was completely renovated. But Daddy won't move from here because this is where some of Daddy's life and breath are,” Endro tells Arie why he remains in this old building.

“You eat and then sleep. Tomorrow morning Daddy's gonna talk to you two after we have breakfast. We have breakfast here, breakfast will come at seven in the morning. Have Daddy order. So tomorrow whoever hears the delivery man coming, you just take it.” Endro goes straight into his room. He's very upset.

“What's with daddy? Her face is so scary,” whispered Arie.

“Since leaving for Singapore he was like that. Ade thinks only Ade is aware of the daddy change,” replied Vella.

“Yesterday when buying clothes, you could ask why you should go to Singapore. Not in Jakarta or Jakarta. Daddy said your key to the problem was here. In Singapore,” Vella certainly surprised to hear this info.

They eat in silence. Each was busy with his own thoughts.

“Dadd ..., eat first,” Vella knocks on Endro's room door but no answer.

“Ya already Bang, let's put the table alone. Later if you want to eat daddy will heat itself with micro wave. Now we sleep. Do not let us reprimanded daddy,” Vella also went to his room in the back near the kitchen. Arie and Endro's room is near the family room.
