Merlinda (Ranging Back)
Breaking the Promise
" Mister at 20:46 we will leave" said Reza, who had just entered Daniel ''s office , without answering Daniel just looked at the watch in his hand and saw the clock hand that had shown at 16:11 American time.
" It turned out to be late afternoon "he muttered, "you still have time to rest Mr. , and I will tell you if it is time we leave" Reza continued and Daniel nodded.
" I will go for a while and prepare all my needs "command Daniel without looking at Reza , because he is in a sport with a flat object that is now in his hands.
" Rise up sir "reza replied.
" Is there anything else you need ? " tanya again ,
" no, go " said Daniel.
Reza retreated and left Daniel's study, while Daniel was seen wrinkling both sides of his eyebrows with serious eyes on the screen.
" Where is he ? " murmured Daniel in a slightly disappointed tone and then pointed his flat object at ear ,
repeatedly and he is seen again pointing the cellphone at his ear with a face that has changed to restless ,
he can no longer wait to know Elin's situation only through messages or phone calls that he has repeatedly tried but returned unconnected.
Daniel keeps his phone in his pants pocket and immediately picks up the suit hanging on the side of the chair and then leaves his study.
" Mister what's wrong ? " ask Reza who is still standing by the side of the door of Daniel's study ,
" I have to make sure of something "clearly Daniel looks so hasty,
" do you need help ? "
" no, you just need to prepare everything we need later correctly" said Daniel so impatient to continue his steps.
" My master has not prepared a car for you" said Reza a little frantically ,
" no need I can drive myself " Daniel said.
" Do you not want me to go ? " ask Reza again.
Daniel groans silently and clenches both his hands holding back his annoyance at Reza who repeatedly makes him stop continuing his steps, "Reza what can you be silent , I don't have much time and it's not an office affair that you have to go with "collapsed Daniel unconsciously.
" I'm sorry, sir" said Reza, bowing his face, Daniel no longer cared that he immediately rushed back to his feet a little faster.
" Just watch if he comes back to trouble me "reza muttered a little annoyed, but Daniel's big steps suddenly came back to sound, "Reza give your car keys "pinta Daniel while continuing to walk closer.
" it's Mr " said Reza, giving Daniel the keys to his car.
" Thank you, I borrowed your car" said Daniel and left Reza.
" I spoke like I was praying "reza murmured while sighing.

" Are you going ? " ask Elin to Meili who just finished receiving a phone call ,
" yes, we've been here more than three hours " said Meili laughing.
" Tell me if you need my help" he continued as he moved from the chair they had been in since then, Elin nodded her head, " See you " meili said as she kissed Elin on the cheek and hurried away because Viona was waiting for her at home.
Drrtt drrrrtt
Elin gasped as she felt the tremors in her hand with the phone ringing due to the incoming phone call.
" Hello" replied Elin so gently.
" How are you doing? , what are you doing?, have you eaten ? " ask back from behind the phone.
" Just one father" said Elin with a chuckle, "emElin is fine well and is now on campus and has also eaten "he explained.
" Mom and dad, how are you ? " ask back Elin.
" Both, father and mother are both here "clearly Bimo who sounds so spirited.
" Are you so busy? , from yesterday we've been waiting for news from you " continued Bimo.
" I'm sorry Elin well, at the end of this Elin is indeed a little busy with college assignments" explained Elin with guilt.
" What's so heavy "
" no dad, this is my wish " replied Elin.
" Alright but don't forget your rest "
" Yes father, pray that everything goes well , Elin is trying to take an internship semester sooner "
" Why is that ? " ask Bimo.
" You don't have to do that, son, don't make decisions for such trivial reasons, you've wanted this for a long time '', ' ' '' you've been wanting it , this is your dream so work hard and take advantage of something that will make your dream succeed "
" and something big wasn't done in such a short time" continued Bimo who made Elin speechless.
" Don't hurry, son, do it accordingly, this is your home and until whenever this is where you will return " continued Bimo , '' continued ,
Unknowingly Elin wiped away her tears that had fallen because of Bimo's words ,
" Thank you Dad" said Elin, trying to normalize her voice.
" Elin will do his best" he said again ,
" it has to be, dad will be very proud for your success later" Bimo said with so much pleasure, "father and mother should stay healthy until Elin succeeds and has a family " elin said so deeply.
" You'll try to "saw Bimo joking.
" It should be " said Elin so seriously ,
"just pray, I can't promise you that, but I'll always be proud of whatever you do for your success" Bimo said.
" Thank you dad" said Elin ,
" You say thank you too often and it makes you feel like a stranger "
" It's not like it's dad, I just... "
" Tell it to someone else but not to the father because what the father did was already a duty of a father to his son" explained Bimo who cut off Elin's talk.
" Okay dad" said Elin caving in ,
" continue your activities father will hang up the phone because it has entered at dawn" said Bimo because in his place is now in the time to morning.
" Yes father, greetings to mother and all , and take care of your health "reply Elin and check her phone because the voice arrived silent,
" yes die" he said after realizing his hape had not returned to offense,
" Why do I always forget to mcharger my phone ? " his anger then immediately moved to bring the design task that he had to fix again.
" It's really shit, how can I call an online taxi if my phone dies "Elin grunts even more upset at the thought of having to walk even further to find a public vehicle , because Parsons School doesn't allow just any vehicle to get into its domain , with the exception of online taxis that have been ordered by users registered as part of Parsons School and it has become a policy that must be obeyed for the sake of mutual security .
Tettt teeettt's "horn sound that made Elin surprised and wanted to curse because it made her even more upset.
" Hey "greet someone behind the car glass that has been lowered.
" Mike , I almost scolded you " said Elin unconsciously, "Why ? " ask Mike laughing.
" You surprised me ", Elin explained.
" Sorry, go in" said Mike and asked Elin to get into his car, Elin did not move until he remembered his promise to Daniel.
" Thank you Mike but there's something I have to do" said Elin lying ,
" What you have to do Miss , it's late in the afternoon and soon it's going to rain" explained Mike , spontaneously Elin's eyes looked up and found a pile of blackened clouds.
" You've been thinking for too long" said Mike, who got out of the car and brought Elin's body into the car.
" But there really was something I had to do with Mike" said Elin, who tried to turn down Mike 's invitation again ,
" yes you can do your job and I'll drop him off " explains Mike, who's back in the steering wheel.
" No longer reject Miss , I've done my duty as a good friend and neighbor" Mike laughed.
" and you don't see the rain coming down" he continued, pointing towards a dark cloud.
" Thank you Mike" said Elin was relieved because Mike's invitation really helped him, because if there is no Mike has been made sure he will be rained before finding a taxi, ' ' 'cause if there is no Mike ,
but his face again restless when he realized that he had broken his promise to Daniel, "I'm sorry, this is really urgent "murm Elin with guilt.
" What did you say ? " ask Mike and Elin shook her head.
" Where are we going now ? ask Mike again ,
" just go home Mike, I can do that later" said Elin just trying to smile.
" Well" said Mike without rebutting and immediately running his car leaving the Parsons School grounds .
