He's Not The Best
109. Man Outside Window

The Man Outside the Window

She sat by the window she left open. He was contemplating himself in his room, having finished chatting with his mother earlier. While Runa has returned to the main room because Jiddan woke up and needed him.

The girl kept thinking about the wishes of her beloved mother, for her to immediately seek a companion for life simply because of unfounded worries. For him everyone has fear or worry, but, all this time he has learned a lot to eliminate his own greatest fear. The need for life and the desire to be independent and successful is greater than the fear and trauma he has.

Suddenly he remembered one of the verses in the Qur’an which explained about sustenance in any form already guaranteed by Allah for all His servants. So, if indeed he will marry who is his sustenance, then, he will definitely get a soul mate as well. He doesn't have to worry, does he?

Winsi could not reveal all the grievances in his heart all this time. He admitted his mistake for being dishonest and open to Runa. Perhaps his mother was worried that Basri would come back and disturb him. So he asked his son to get married.

She does not want to get married and does not want to get married anytime soon. He was still busy starting achievements and business. Life is not just to get married and be under the rules because as a wife must obey her husband. No, life is not just about that!

He doesn't want to be like that.

He will live independently and will not need a marriage just for the sake of getting guaranteed sustenance. She wanted to prove that she was not a weak woman who needed a man. Especially if the man will only make his life miserable, like when his mother married Basri. Does living with Erlan guarantee everything's okay? Not really, not necessarily, right?

“What do you think?” erlan asked suddenly, tapping on the window glass from outside. He had been watching Winsi since then until more than two hours the girl did not move from her place and left the window of her room open.

“Eh!”

Winsi was a little surprised, even though Erlan was tapping on the glass slowly. The daydream instantly broke. For a moment she looked at him with raging thoughts, had her mother already said that ridiculous wish to the man outside the window? Since when did he stand there and watch her daydream? Does the man outside the window know he's thinking about it?

Winsi still thinks about Erlan and her mother's words about a man who understands her past and all the things in her life, even only he who has been close and loves her whole heart. Although sometimes he is annoying, but, he does pay attention and Erlan's affection is real he feels.

“What did you ask, earlier, Lan?”

“What do you think?”

“You!”

As soon as Erlan laughed, her face looked as soft as the honest answer of Winsi who thought of her.

“I, why is it?”

“You have graduated now, Mr B.BA! Congratulations, yes!”

“Huh! Late, saying!”

“Yah, from on enggak.”

After that the atmosphere was silent, Erlan was still standing outside the window and Winsi was still sitting in his place.

“Still not sleepy?” Erlan started the conversation again.

“But.”

“Still thinking of me?”

“Ya!” Honestly speaking, he felt comfortable saying what was without any restrictions at all, he did not need to cover something from the man.

While Erlan was still thinking about something he would do tomorrow. He had his own plan, a plan that he had not had time to do was already regretted. But he will not back down, because his promise must be kept.

“Sorry, if I have it wrong, until you think of everything!” Erlan.

“Eh, you're not wrong, Lan. Precisely I have to thank you for helping a lot.”

“Not a problem, as long as I can. Sleep there, it's night!”

“Do you have any plans to marry young, Lan?”

Suddenly Erlan's heart beats irregularly, marriage is her wish and she just wants to make Winsi his wife and protect him, loving him for life.

However, not at this time, he wanted Winsi to reach his ideals and enjoy his life in freedom first. If he becomes his wife, then he wants her to stay by his side and not have to work for money. Enough of him, he would fulfill all his needs and desires whatever it was if he could.

“You have a plan not to marry who or what kind of woman?”

“There!”

“Who?”

“I've met with fairies as a child first, well, I want to marry the fairy!”

Winsi also laughed lightly while closing his mouth, he did not expect that Erlan had a high fantasy like now. Fairy is just a story in a fairy tale, how to marry the winged creature if there is in the real world?

“Wah, your delusion of heights, Lan!” sutu Winsi when she stopped laughing.

“There was a time when you knew who the little elf was. I'm already there sleeping, if you're still afraid, I'm here take care of you.”

Winsi did not know whether she should cry or laugh at the words filled with seduction or attention.

“No need, I'm not like I used to be. It's been almost a year I can sleep like a normal person.

“Sometimes, why?” Erlan curious.

“Ngak ... why-napa,” After talking like that, Winsi immediately closed the Window and when the window was almost closed, he had seen Erlan who was also looking at him with a complicated gaze. For a moment, their eyes locked onto each other before the window closed completely.

Erlan had a little elf whom she loved, so Winsi would not expect much, no woman would suffer the fate of her, certainly no one would be willing to marry her.

*****

The next day, after having breakfast together, Erlan left with Arkan who was about to leave in one car as he was about to go to the same place. While Winsi and Runa just stared at their departure with a smile and a wave of hands.

The two women then joked warmly with little Jiddan, who was always missed by Winsi while in Yogyakarta. He is not serious when telling Erlan that he is jealous of his sister and Jiddan is Erlan's sister, not her. However, in fact he loved her very much, the little boy was always in the sling of Winsi and many times he kissed the cheek of his kingpin.

“When do you go home, Win?” asked Runa while feeding Jiddan who was in the lap of Winsi.

“Besok.” Winsi answered while kissing her sister's cheek.

“Consider again request Mother, Win.”

“Buk, right, I told you I didn't want to get married I wanted to design college first. My efforts have just started, Mom. Moreover, I have worked with om Anas, I want to stay?”

“Win, all for your good Mother can rest easy if you have someone to take care of, and take responsibility, you do not have to live alone there ... I'm worried, son!”

Winsi was silent for a moment when her eyes were far ahead she understood now that, in fact, the marriage that Runa wanted was not for her own good but for the peace of her own mother's heart. Runa is more concerned with the calmness of his heart that is as long as it is far from his son, who lives alone.

Moreover, people who used to do evil to Winsi came again, making Runa's worries even more. He was afraid that he would do anything because he knew his son was living alone.

Of course it would be different if Winsi then married, there are men who are responsible and take care of her. Moreover, the person who protected Winsi was a man like Erlan, then, he would be calmer. He is the only man who knows his son's past and never brings it up. That means he is a very understanding person. The man also gives affection even though he knows the experience and past of Winsi which is not pleasant.

“What makes Mom calm Just my wedding?”

“Ya!”

“Then ...”
