Pura Lupa Temple
Chapter 31

"Arrggghhhhh, my goodness, what a great massage Stan. Emang Zen is very favorite deh, the same price of the service is directly proportional to satisfied I mah. How do you think Stan's back ain't got a pegel, right?" my question was while stroking the back of Stanley who had complained of aches.

"Udah seger nih ga pain again my back, which hurts now my heart" he said, pointing to the left chest with the face of the bronze.

"Heh seriously? What form of pain? Pain after shortness of breath? Just go to Hasan Sadikin, let's check Stan."

Hahahaha Stanley laughed as I hit him in the arm for pranking me. Bad guy playing with the same chest pain.

"Sorry sorry, joking Gab, but I'm really hurt you don't want to tell me what business you have with Alex before and I'm sad because we have to go back to the capital, it means going to separate from you and buried our respective activities." he explained while hugging me. I put myself in his arms, wanting to dive into the vibrations of my heart.

"Woiiii, public area thisih main hug. Yuk, it's time for us to go home." cried Dicta remind me and Stan.

"The atmosphere of the capital is rather tense due to the corona, in our hospital there are some patients suspected corona you Gab reportedly." info Sammy makes me a little stunned because so quickly this virus is endemic.

Can only pray in the heart that the atmosphere is not getting worse, lest Indonesia like Italy in the end their government decides to lock down to break the chain of spread.

"Okay see you tomorrow, we just split up here. Yeeee......" I said as I got into Stanley's car.

See you Bandung, either when can vacation again considering the current situation we are encouraged to reduce activities in public places even schools are also closed, worship as much as possible at home.

#Stanley POV#

Since the cafe was actually something that bothers me because Gaby does not want to explain the conversation with Alex. It's not that I'm not jealous of Alex because I know the extent of their relationship, but I'm jealous of Alva, wondering what's still keeping Gaby in touch with Alva through Alex.

"Stan, you why is that guy in there, still craving?"

I turned to Gaby, clasping her right hand with my left, "You don't trust me completely? Why don't you want to tell me what you're obrolin with Alex on the phone? Must be about Alva, right?"

I caught the doubt in Gaby's eyes, maybe confused between stories or not. Actually I don't want to force Gaby to tell all, because wherever our relationship has just improved and well maybe he still doesn't fully believe in me.

"Stan, sorry if I didn't tell you straight away because I didn't want your mood to be ugly. When we're having a lot of fun, then I choose not to talk about anything that's not fun."

"So I was talking to Alex about Alva. So there's a known number that WA me and send Alva video again mabok, basically this guy assesses I destroyed Alva with my pretentious attitude. And I think Alex should know that someone did this to me."

"Stan, it's only natural that you're jealous too so Alva is jealous of you. But right now I've chosen to be by your side so please believe in me as much as I've always believed you."

Gaby showed me the video, which of course shocked me. I don't know Alva very well but seeing and hearing him that you were missing Gaby my empathy appeared.

If Alva is destroyed Gaby will be blamed, people will not want to know that Alvalah's mistake made Gaby decided to separate. Although Alva is not as famous as Afgan or Vidi Aldiano but I know his fanbase is quite a lot.

"I believe in you, I'm sorry, because I'm actually the one who doesn't trust Gab no matter where I've been guilty of you so the sense of insecure exists."

"You can handle Alva's own business, but remember that you need help, you have to say yes to me. I want us to be open to each other in all things Gab, that's the key so that bad things can happen together."

I smiled seeing Gaby nodding her head in agreement. I really do not want to live this new relationship by hiding something under the pretext of being for the good of my partner. I want to string this new fabric with all the openness so that we can protect each other from creatures who want to disrupt our relationship.

*********************

I'm glad I opened up to Stanley about Alva. For someone else the former may have to be thrown away, but for me in this case I should be able to help Alva get out of the slump, at least I should know who the owner of the unknown number is.

"Stan, I'm going home to your mom, you don't forget to see your dad tomorrow and talk about it well Stan, don't want to lose as much as a teaser. You have to make your papa out of the seductive devil."

"Yes, I promise the atmosphere will be conducive, you want ya to ngabarin me. You must take care of the condition do not eat late, and inget always the same I who always wait for you."

I didn't feel like I was finally at my parents' house. Once again I remind Stanley to keep his emotions and think positively so that his parents' household is not destroyed. We hugged so tightly that it was hard to express the word ending with a deep kiss on my forehead. I peeked back at his cheeks and eyes, my favorite spot in the last episode of hehehe.

*******************

Huft finally arrived too, I threw my body down for a moment on the living room sofa. I remember talking to Alex who was not finished, I saw the clock shows 22:15, um this hour like Alex has not slept, mending the phone now deh rather than delay.

Several times the ringtone with the song Beautiful in White is heard, hahahaha mentang mentang want to marry ni ringtonenya wedding song really deh ah.

After the experiment a few times finally....

..... "Halooo.. sorry Gab just didn't hear you call!"

"Lex have you checked yet who has that number? And guess what the motive is."

"Who has not known Gab, there is only info Alva messed up some of his show schedule and make him have to compensate big enough. I'm even suspicious of Aryo, Alva's manager, you know if the hello kitty type guy is fragile and his mind is short because it is more controlled by emotions than the ratio. Well I suspect he hates it just as you mistook you for the state of Alva right now."

"Lex, actually I'm not too concerned about the intruder but I'm confused about how to help Alva, he can't be allowed to drink that and so on Lex. I'm afraid he's addicted. Mumpung is still in the early stages of gini you have to take him to psychologist Lex, so he can be spared from alcohol."

"Gue really wants to help him Lex, I don't have any problems with Alva personally, I love him even though the portions have changed and are different wherever he has become the man who takes care of me 3 years. I'm now aware that my feelings for Alva are much purer than those of romance."

"Do you understand what I mean Lex? Maybe not the Lex that Alva really also feels his love for me is no longer the feel of romance then he can fall into Nadine's arms?"

"Well that's Gab, I'm also thinking that way, instead I think the pain he's in now because guilt makes you hurt so he's wrong himself. What if you find him talking from Gab's heart to Gab's?"

"Sorry Gab, I heard Stanley's voice yesterday call you that friendly, do you really now turn him around like Alva said? Will Stan be able to help you with Alva Gab?"

"Because I tried knitting back, after knowing the original story of Stan's departure all along, I felt I could accept so I agreed to ask him to knit a new story for him."

"Look at Lex, I've been honest with Stan that I can't ignore Alva so he's okay. Tomorrow I'll take you to the apartment before my mall service schedule."

"Okeee Gab, tomorrow I say you want to see Alva."

I say goodbye to Alex and cut off the phone with him. Tired of my heart, I don't want Alva to destroy herself with alcohol, I'm determined to bring back the old Alva. If Alva was willing to be my back, now I should be able to be his back.

****************

"Gab, are you asleep? Mommy's in?"

I haven't been able to answer, the door of the room has opened and showed the face of my mother.

My mom hugged me as if we hadn't seen each other in years. My mom is very impulsive and attractive, she can position herself as anything for me. He's not a respectful crazy old man, mami even more often acts as my friend.

"Miiii, I'm confused, don't know what to do. Am I the one who's got that lebay?"

My mother was silent while hugging and stroking my head, her sign mami want to hear all my stories without interruption.

"I've been waiting for Stanley again, we promise to knit a new story with more openness to each other. But I can't ignore Alva who knows what she's falling for Mi. Somebody sent me a video of Alva mabok and blamed me for Alva's behavior."

Tears of sadness that since yesterday I was able to endure finally spilled all, mami more tightly hugged and rubbed my head.

"I have confirmed to Alex, according to him it was related to several Alva shows that he messed up, could not perform because of the condition of the teler mi. Alva who I know is not Mi, she used to be a backrest for me, at this time I feel I should be able to be a backrest for her."

"But on the other hand there's Stanley, who I have to take care of his feelings anyway. Stan let me help Alva but I know from the bottom of his heart he's disappointed because I still care about Alva."

Talking to my mother feels like it makes my heart very relieved, from the first he can always give me comfort, as bad as any past that I and my mother have gone through before never dispel his smile and warmth. My mom always exemplifies optimism, her motto is "Usaha will not betray Results" and well proven in our lives today.

"Gab, you've been through worse things than this so there's no need to be afraid, right? Follow your heart, act according to your conscience, as long as you are honest and open with Stan, but you have a sense of what to fear. Remember in every step of our lives and plans, there is a line that we cannot cross because it has become God's plan. So as a human being just follow your heart the end result let God's business."

I nodded in agreement, well.it sounds cliche but it is true, birth, soul mate and death are divine mysteries, evidence of God's design of our lives or commonly called destiny. I kissed my mom's right and left cheeks as a sign of gratitude.

"Gab, my mom is even worried about your cooperation in the hospital, the corona outbreak makes me serem Gab. Do you brenti work with Gab? Papi was again meeting at the house of papi B, again discussion because the condition is now very much the same turnover. Where employees also follow panic will not want to focus messy." said mami with a face that I think is even funny because upset but her smile sumringah wakakaka people who see also must be confused because it is ambiguous.

"Well mami when I brenti work trus want to eat what I mi?" candaku.

"Ish you yes, ga work also you can still mami love Gab, eat you easily fur fish the same dedek chicken hihihihihi." start her mamplaknya my mama.

"Lord, have mercy on Your servant to have a very ungodly mother!" I said while praying attitude that got a gift from mami.

"Foolish boy, there are also children who are ungodly mami time! Seriously Gab, health is important mami don't want you amit amit exposed to the virus Gab, in RS right warehouse disease."

"The problem of eating is easy, rich never fretting about living on your own Gab!"

"Dear mom, try to think using the logic of mi, again the emergency condition of the Covid-19 outbreak continues the doctor instead told to brenti work, is what is the news of Indonesia later mi. Ga da plague we are often overwhelmed against patients, especially now that medical personnel are forbidden to cut if it is not very important. Unless we're also sick or giving birth or in a state of grief."

"We were sworn you know Mi, supplied 1 that we must prioritize humanity so precisely this time it is the contribution for the country we must give."

"Mommy don't worry, face this, we help ourselves first by taking care of our health. Eat regularly, drink enough, add vitamins keep the body clean, wash hands often, reduce interaction with the crowd of many people, do not be ashamed if you feel unwell immediately check to the Hospital."

"This coronavirus can cause pneumonia in the lungs. Usually, the symptoms of those who are infected are with coughs, fever, and difficulty breathing. A person who experiences these symptoms as a result can not be cured only with antibiotics or common cold drugs."

"Well, it is recommended to use a mask, and keep a distance of 1m radius, as well as frequent hand washing only Mi, do not enter the fingers into the mouth or eye ulcer or wipe the nose swab without washing hands."

I saw my mama nod her head in a sign of understanding. Understand the name of the parents must be worried especially we are 3 single children and all professions the same doctor, who is actually vulnerable to infection because every day intersects with the disease. But that's where I can see the mercy of God, average medics have extra endurance so do not worry about contracting hehehehe.
