Genius Son My name is Aji
About Elisha Again

In her silence, Aji only notices Elisha, both as she speaks, her body movements, and how she interacts with the people in her patient room.

He did not know Elisha before, but he also felt familiar with the figure of Elisha, especially when he had heard the story of his sister, Jeny and also from his mother, Cilla.

"Oh, Auntie thinks you're coming back to Rio's hostel." Mama Cilla, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly because she misunderstood Elisha's answer earlier.

"Aren't you coming home later?" jeny asked, offering Elisha.

"I'm gonna finish some of Jen's things. Move the hostel yesterday, keep away from the mini market, and the Club as well. I was wrong yesterday. Just think short and don't think about how it should be. I'm sorry Jen, " replied Elisa, giving an explanation to Jeny.

"Ok is. I believe in you. There must be the best ahead. You are the spirit of El" said Jeny, supporting Elisha's plan.

"Yes, I'm saying yes, but not too late."

Jeny, nodding with a smile, responded to the quiet Elisha to go home.

"Tan, Um. El went home first" said Elisha to Cilla's mother and Gilang's father.

"Yes to Om, Aunt. Rio also said goodbye, going between Elisha." Rio, also say goodbye.

"Be careful El. And you Rio, Auntie, take care of Elisa. Don't run away from the song" said Mama Cilla, giving Rio a message.

"Ready Aunt!" rio replied, with a thumbs up.

Papa Gilang, just nodded in response.

"Jen. I'm back, yes" Rio said to Jeny.

"Ati-ati yes. Jewer the El if the wayward! hihihi.." message Jeny with an amused smile.

Elisa, pouting from hearing the thud from Jeny, who was delivered via message to Rio.

Aji was still silent, waiting for Elisha or Rio to say goodbye to her. But as it turned out, neither Elisha nor Rio, no one did. The two of them looked at each other and were both silent. I don't know what they're thinking right now.

Rio, nudging Elisha's arm, gestured for her to say goodbye to Aji immediately. But, Elisha also requested that Rio alone say goodbye, through his eye and chin gestures.

Jeny, Mama Cilla and papa Gilang, look at each other with a faint smile looking at Elisha's awkward behavior because he felt unknown to Aji.

But, not Elisha, if not able to cope with all the uncomfortable feelings at any time. With a long sigh, Elisha stepped forward, approaching towards Aji's bed.

"Sister... El... Elisa come back first. Tomorrow, if there is time, Elisha will look at Brother again."

Without waiting for Aji to answer, Elisha turned around and walked out of Aji's patient room.

All the people in the room were shocked by Elisha's behavior, but before long, they also laughed when they realized that Elisha was holding back his shame.

"Based on a strange girl," said Aji, inwardly.

"Yes already Brother. Rio back yes," said Rio to Aji.

"Be careful. Take care of him yes" said Aji, giving a message to Rio.

Rio nodded and smiled at Aji. Now that Rio knew, Aji was still paying attention to Elisha, even though his memory of Elisha was not as good as yesterday.

Now, Rio was already able to catch up to Elisha's footsteps. The two of them, walked side by side towards the highway. We wait for a taxi, to the campus first, take a car, new to your boarding house yes," Rio proposed to Elisa.

"How come?" rio asked, wanting to know how Elisha's current plan was.

"I went back to the hostel myself. You either go back to the boarding house, or to the campus grab a car is fine."

"That's not the plan." Rio, trying to remind her again, what they had planned.

"But I thought, that's more practical," said Elisha reasoned.

"But El, it's night. Anyway, Aunt Cilla asked me to take care of you, Brother Aji too."

"Huh, brother Aji?" Elisa immediately replied quickly, as Rio said that Aji also advised the same as Mama Cilla.

"Yes," Rio replied flatly.

"Cooking? You lied to me, just for me to follow what you said."

"Loss El, lie to you."

"Hemmm, yes!"

Finally Elisha complied, what was said by Rio. He was waiting for a taxi with Rio.

*****

On the way to the campus, Elisa asked Rio, "Rio. El can ask?"

"What?" rio asked with an anxious face, because of hearing Elisha's uncharacteristic voice.

"When your friend came to my house at the time, how was your father?" elisha asked, with teary eyes. He was sad, imagining his father living alone, and there was no one else in the house, except with just one guard, who had been with his family since long ago. Even now, he is older than his own father.

Mr. Elisha, a widower. Elisha's mother died when Elisha was fourteen years old and he was an only child. His father, does not want to marry again. There was one housekeeper, who had been with his family, since his father was a child, so he was the babysitter of his father.

That is why, the teenage Elisha, grew up to be the spoiled girl he wanted to be. He did not want to be regulated, because his father, did not forbid much Elisha's activities, as long as Elisha was happy.

"Your father is healthy El. But he was also like a confused person. Maybe it's because you, never told him and he can't call you, as long as your phone isn't there."

Now Elisha even sobbed, when he heard the answer from Rio. He felt guilty for making a decision that only followed his wishes.

"I was. Yesterday I thought I could solve my own problems. I don't know, if living in Jakarta is expensive. So much that I did not think about first, it turned out to be one of the problems, which often happened to everyone, let alone the nomads without supplies like this Me."

"I mean El?" rio asked confusedly.

"Money Rio. Many are dark eyes, just because they want to get money while tight. Good thing I still got a lot of luck, being reunited with good people. But, do not know also what will happen in the future if I am not invited home Kak Aji. Hence, this I want the same prestige that has a mini market and Club. It's not good, when I need them to help, even say no news."

"Yes, we will go directly to the club. All farewell, I'll accompany ya," said Rio offered.

"Eh, don't interrupt your break? I can do it myself."

"So. Anyway, I'll control you, as long as Aji's brother is sick and hasn't remembered you well."

Elisha was silent. He was unwilling to refute Rio's current words. He was still thinking about his father at home.
