YOU'RE THE ONE

The Letter

It's been a long time since Selena propped up her chin, serving her thoughts on the couch. The breeze of the sea gently greets her kind face. Selena's fingers wiped the tangle of wild hair playing on the edge of the forehead.

From time to time the soft blue curtains on the windowsill flap violently, pushed by the strong wind. Selena is happy with this peaceful atmosphere. Her mind was calm looking at the blue sea and small boats bobbing on the surface of the water.

Perhaps one of the boats bobbing in the water was her father's boat. Selena is less certain.

At this point, Selena felt that this small house was so empty. Quiet.

Despite the resounding voices of Seelan Paul and Khai from the AST radio station, it has not yet been able to serve the silence of Selena's heart.

Times like these, her little brothers Noah and Risky seem to be bathing in sweat. They cycled to go home. For sure when they arrive, they will be lying on the floor of the house. Even school bags are everywhere. What an habit!

She remember her old school days. The dumbest childhood... always cheerful. It feels like just yesterday, Selena left the school.

Actually, it's been almost three years. Her own age has almost reached 22 years. If she married, there may be four or five children. Selena smiled to herself. Uh... married? With whom? 'Must be with Prince Charming.' Selena giggled.

'Elellelellalala...don't think I didn't know who your Prince Charming is,' replied Nini, also laughing. 'Oh... Zeq, right?'

From long ago, Nini was quite fond of playing Selena with her cousin, Zeqri. He was said to be the most handsome boy in their school at that time. However, there is nothing between Selena and Zeqri. As far as common friends only.

'Isyyy... you! You are endlessly trying to promote your cousin. Isn't there anyone else? Oooii... my dear little friend... remember not your cousin is the only one who sells here,' sneered Selena.

Selena tried to cover the vibration in her heart. When the name Zeqri is mentioned, her heart blossomed, grew more beautiful. But she have to be smart to cover her heart.

Little ones can play love. Mom will be noisy. Pot-pet 24 hours. Nini laughed at Selena's words. The dimple on Selena's right cheek stood out.

'It's true Ena, I think Zeq really has a heart for you. I know my cousin very well.'

And old memories begin to lull beautifully. come along with the breeze. Every once in a while she entertain feelings, inviting her little heart to cry. Sorrow and happiness alternate.

Hello... if my mother were still around right now, of course her mouth would be full and she would definitely nag at me. Give words of advice and all kinds of tips. Ahh... mom! Her heart was ticking.

'You've grown up a long time. Take care of yourself. Don't be the mouthpiece of people. We live in a society. It's a little wrong... start paying attention to people," Mrs. Sofia's advised.

She was quite worried when she heard the story of her daughter is close friends with Zeqri, The son of the city chief.

'Take good care of your friends,' she said again. Mrs. Sofia does not want her name linked and cursed. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Tan like to criticize. Later it will be said that Mrs. Sofia wants to hold the son of the city chief. Want to be a family. While the difference between her family and the city chief is quite far. She was aware of it all. If the mouth of the jar can be closed. This is the city's mouth, it must be difficult to close.

'Oh... mother... don't you listen to other people'. Selena hugged her mother's arm warmly.

'Ena doesn't have anything to do with Zeq, mom. He's just a friend. After all, he's Ena's senior at school. And yes... he's Nini's cousin. Please mom, don't think too much okay. I want to focus on studies first.'

Three years have passed. But the memory seems like it happened just yesterday. Still remember Nini's laughter teasing her so fiercely. Zeqri's soul-shaking smile. A wise mother's advice. Now it's all over.

After completing the SAT, Nini decided to work in Los Angeles. Now, she become a famous model. If not, how is it possible that her face often adorns the chest of advertisements. Zeqri is in the final semester of the Civil Engineering Department at University of California Los Angeles.

Selena missed her mother so much, Mrs. Sofia breathed her last in Selena's lap three years ago. At that time, Noah and Risky were still young and she herself was not ready to take on the responsibilities of the family. But she had to. It felt like a very heavy burden on her shoulder. For the sake of her siblings, Selena is willing to sacrifice.

'Oiitt... sister, you're daydreaming! What are you cooking today? I'm hungry, sister,' said Noah.

Noah had just arrived, he pushed the bike and placed it under a coconut tree. Noah is still grinning. 'Hah... you must remember Zeqri right?'

Selena's face blushed. 'Hey... don't say his name!' My heart began to dance with love. Be patient... control! Her little heart screamed. She glanced at Noah, who collapsed from exhaustion. Selena is not interested in serving her younger brother. The more he was treated, the more fiercely he teased. That's it. Selena kept quiet.

'Eleh... Sis... just admit it. Don't think I don't know! It's a shame.' Noah grinned again. The school uniform he was wearing continued to be taken off. Ridiculous and hot!

'Arrgghh... Sister you doesn't rock at all... I don't want to give you the letter,' Noah threatened.

'A letter?' Selena's eyes are round. 'Where? Where? Give me.'

'Cis... you just wanted to respond as long as I mention the letter... it's very nice of you. Here take it!' He threw away the letter he had taken from the mail box when he came home from school earlier. Quickly he ran, entered his room to take a good bath.

If not he is her brother, Selena really want her hand to rest on his face. Give a great slap on his face would be the best.

Selena smiled. She stared at the letter in her hand. She already knows who send the lettter. And Selena's smile widened.

Take care...

'CONGRATULATION ZEQ!' said Selena to Zeqri who successfully continued his studies at Cal State LA in the Department of Civil Engineering.

The words just came out of Selena's mouth. As if there were no direct feelings for Zeqri. But in her heart, it's like it's wasted. It hurts! Sad! But when she saw Zeqri's lazy face, as if there were no feelings, Selena's heart began to freeze. Stiff as rock water.

Zeq just smiled. Ahhh... he's smiling again! Are you teasing me? Waaaahh! If he smiling like that, I don't necessarily cry day and night missing you, you know? Ena's heart whispers.

'Thank you. I didn't expect to be accepted. Everything is the power of GOD.' He answered, humbly. 'When I gets there later and everything is settled, I will send a letter, okay?' Instantly his eyes turned to Noah and Risky who were fighting under the coconut tree Noah scolded his younger brother.

Selena adjusted her hair. It's hard for her to calm the pounding in her heart. Throbbing fast.

Alas...I'm still... in the small city and Zeq is in a modern state... Building with all kinds of amazing structure. Where is the same as in this city? If it's like this, my source of inspiration all this time, the moment of my heart, will be lost.

'Hmmm... don't say like that. You want to write a letter but after a long time, when you're busy, you'll forget me,' said Selena. For a moment, she glanced at her mother who was diligently sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

At once in a while, Mr. Sam, Selena's father also cleared his throat, while his hands were busy bathing his car. Selena scared. Dad, is he disliked my relationship with Zeq? Who knows, it's a sign that parents don't like the behavior of teenagers. Maybe he thought his daughter violated the proper boundaries. Ah.. the old man! Not to be frank. More allusions in treatment. Her heart whispered again.

'It's hard for me to say. But, I'm not someone who likes to break promises. We've been friends for a long time. Not for a day or two.' Zeq swallowed his saliva.

'Ena do you want me to swear?'

'I didn't say that.'

Why the heck does he need to swear? It's not that I don't believe it. Arggh... my mouth itches! Her heart fluttered.

'I study really hard, you know. I want to take SAT next year.

'If you want to continue Form 6 like me first and then apply to University, it's okay. And if you go to University after SAT, it's also fine. Hurry up and we can meet there. I can welcome you. But the condition is that you have to apply to Cal State LA.'

Salina smiled at the dumbest of Zeqri's dreams.

He want to welcome me? Greet me as...? Friend? Lover? Junior? By mistake, Zeq already had a lover at that time. Huh... who'd languishing? It'd be me! Makes my heart swell when I see it. Well, I will study at another university or just enter the Form 6. Close to home. I can see mom, dad and my siblings. Her heart kept saying.

It was easy for Selena's mouth to ask. Want to ask about their relationship status. Is it a friend? Lover? But she was shy. Not like a well looking for a bucket. By mistake, their good friendships that were made can be broken. Selena did not dare to take the risk.

Let fate decide. Not to dare if she wants to ruin the friendship that was built. After all, Selena is a girl. It's not nice to ask about that. Zeqri himself never said anything. He will not want more!

'I can't send you tomorrow,' said Selena slowly, hiding her obvious expression that looks disappointed.

'That's not important Ena. Even now, I has met you. Your prayer is enough. It's enough to accompany me.'

Zeq looked quite calm. There were no signs of sadness on the face. For a moment, she glanced at his wrist only glancing at his watch. 'It's okay Ena, I have to go back. There are more items that haven't been packed. So, remember what I just said. Study hard okay!'

Selena nodded.

'Take care... Zeq'

Zeq just smiled.

Wow... I could have a heart attack! Selena was stunned for a moment, before her lips also formed a smile. Her eyes sent Zeqri's footsteps towards her parents, greeting her mom and dad. He really inherited his father's personality.

'I go back home first uncle, aunt!'

'Alright take care. Drive slowly.' Mr. Sam gives advice. 'I, pray that you finish your studies there safely.'

'Yes, uncle. Thank you.'

'Don't forget we are here,' said Selena's mother while smiling, reminding Zeq as a young man she had known for a long time.

Zeq just nodded. He had another chance to see Selena's eyes and waved his hand at Noah and Risky before the glimpse disappeared. Suddenly Selena's heart was filled with melancholy.

Mr. Taza

'If everything is okay, Sky Resort should be ready in January.' Mr. Taza nodded his head which was half full of gray hair. 'Don't worry about it Master. I'll make sure the resort will be ready for this coming season.

'It's okay if it's like that. And I want everything to be original. There was no mixed cement like the Sky Tower Project that day. Fortunately it didn't collapse! If not, who will answer in court later?'

'Alright Master. I have ordered that repairs be made. So for the time being, the tower has to be closed first. And Master, I am still investigating who is the mastermind in this matter. We'll know soon, I promise you.'

Kent got up from the chair. His hands are busy tidy up the Sky Resort Project files that have already been signed by Mr. Taza.

'If there's nothing I go out first Master.'

Mr. Taza nodded. 'Okay. If anything comes up, do inform me... directly! Andrew can't be trusted understood!' Kent nodded again.

As soon as his assistant's body disappeared, Mr. Taza let out a long sigh. His head hurts thinking about it. Throbbing. Don't think too hard, his brain starts protesting. It's his fault too!

From 20 years ago until now. Mr. Taza cares less about health. Even for him to hand over this company to his son, even Andrew, he still lacks confidence.

'I wonder if Andrew can manage this company? His experience is still lacking. He needs to learn more.

Mr. Taza worked hard to develop Sky Holdings not for himself but for his wife and only child. Let them live happily. He didn't want Mrs. Roze, the wife he married to regret his decision to leave a rich family for their love. He wants to make his beloved wife and Andrew happy. He wants to prove to his parents' family that the farmer's son is also comparable. Able to compete.

Mr. Taza's eyes suddenly stuck on model of Sky Resort, which is located at the corner of the office. One by one memories came. White sand... foaming waves... small boat... his friend's face... Selena...

Mr. Taza woke up. Everything is different. It's blury. It's dark. His eyelids still felt heavy. His head still felt dizzy. Throbbing pulse. Observed the surrounding situation. This is not his cabin. It's not a soft mattress and at the moment he's just sleeping on a loose mat.

He coughed. Strong! In an instant, his ears caught footsteps approaching him. By the candlelight, he looked at the middle-aged man's face. His feelings are mixed. Surprised, surprised!

'Luckily, you are awake. You have been unconscious for two days,' he said slowly, sitting cross-legged next to Mr. Taza.

Mr. Taza is still confused. Remember when his dear wife waved her hand from the pier. Suddenly, the blue waves that suddenly rage, pictured slowly in his mind box. My head hurts strike back. His eyes are dark. Dim.

'Ena, oh Ena,' shouted Mr. Sam. 'Bring the food here. This gentleman is awake.'

This man must be from a noble family. Just look at the clothes, the boat equipment. Maybe up to a thousand dollar. Is it okay for him to wear my ugly shirt? Is he comfortable with this mat? His heart spoke. For a moment Mr. Taza compared his lack of self with the man he felt was his age. Not even possibly much younger.

'When I met you, you were unconscious. At that time, it was raining heavily. So I took you to my house.' Said Mr. Sam

Mr. Taza fixed his bed. He felt bad when he was called Mr. by an old man that he newly known.

'Hey, don't mess with me.' He coughed a little. 'Call me Taza. And you?'

'Samuel. You call me Sam.'

'Thank you Sam. For saving my life. I don't know how to repay you and your family. I too...' Mr. Taza's voice choked. Mr. Sam's hand was tightly gripped. It feels like he is his own brother.

'Hisssyy... death is God's will. My body are there. I can't just white my eyes! Today, Taza's turn, who knows the day after tomorrow it'd be me.'

Mr. Taza nodded. And in that vagueness, his sharp eyes were fixed on a soft face. Come on! His heart whispered. Mr. Taza's eyes did not blink as the girl's steps moved towards him. His style is soft and gentle on the tray. It doesn't even squeak. Covered with a silky hair, and the girl's face was adorned with a hint of a pretty sweet smile. It cools the heart of anyone who looks at it.

'Uncle, this porridge is made by me. Uncle has to eat, you know. Uncle's stomach has been empty for two days.' Selena crouched next to her father.

'Daughter?'

Mr. Sam nodded.

'She's in her teenager age. Studying?'

Selena shook her head. 'SAT is over, uncle.'

'She stopped halfway.' said Mr. Sam.

Mr. Taza nodded. He understood. Maybe financial problems. Look at their lives, Mr. Taza remembered his life a long time ago. He was also unable to continue his studies due to poverty.

But today, Mr. Taza can prove that he can succeed even without a degree. He is not a graduate in the field of business but his enthusiasm and tenacity make Mr. Taza not easy to lose.

'Uncle, eat first. Later, when you're healthy, we can have a long chat.'

Once again a smile was thrown. This time Mr. Taza's heart was captured. 'I hope she is my future daughter-in-law.'
