CARINA

CARINA
Twenty-four


"Why bengong? Quickly bring my stuff. You're my assistant, so, taking them is your responsibility" Thomas continued, leaving Karin, who was still gawking at the big suitcase, and a bag that is no less large that model was dragged earlier.


"You're joking? We're filming in the tea garden, you know. The road is uphill, narrow. You want me to die of exhaustion?" karin protest.


Thomas stopped and looked at it for a moment. "Death to exhaustion or not, it's none of my business."


"Oh so, he wants to bully me, fine. You'll be disappointed, because a Karin can never be bullied, you fucking guy," he grumbled.


His brain spun fast, thinking about how not to be tired, but the suitcase and the damn bag to the location.


In a typical restaurant with a sundanese food menu, Dio was chatting with a middle-aged man who was none other than Rudiantara. The old man's face was always full of sadness. Yes, the sadness was caused by his daughter who always rejected his existence. He did not deny if it was his fault, maybe, if he was in the same position, he would also act and behave like that.


"Drink, Om, coffee."


"Yes, Dio's son." The middle-aged man also sipped his favorite black coffee.


"Where? What time do you want to come with me to the set?"


"Not angry yesterday?"


"I guarantee you don't. Or not, Om will come in at dinner, so we can talk longer."


"Om agreed that dinner, if now, Om still has work."


"Well, if so, I went back to the location, yes, Om. Want to go straight."


"Yes, thank you, Nak Dio, for helping Om so far" said papa Rudi sincerely. Dio's the only hope of getting back close to the girl. They separated and returned to their activities.

Let's see what Karin did to Thomas's big bag and suitcase.


No half-hearted, the girl ordered famous transfer services in the city of flowers. Yes, the transfer service is only for a suitcase and bag, which if weighed also will not be up to 1 ton of weight.


Thomas, who was enjoying his afternoon break, was shocked by the person who said he had to pay the service fee. He didn't feel like ordering anything, but Karin ordered it on his behalf. Rather than being embarrassed, inevitably the model still has to pay. He still did not realize that this was the action of the girl he had wanted to oppress.


"Today, take a drink dong, thirsty nih."


"Good, Father."


Karin obeyed the orders of the goddamn model, the shooting place was a little higher. Automatically, he had to get off to pick up a drink in the tent, which was indeed to save his logistical needs during filming. The tent had been set up since last night, and there were two people waiting. Repot it if it unloads.


Apparently Dio had returned from his outside affairs, he was seen sitting around with other staff. Karin approached to say hello.


"Corn, Sir. Just arrived?" The others turned their heads and smiled at the dimpled girl.


"From now on, have you eaten?"


"It."


Karin felt her phone vibrate, it seemed like there was a phone, but Dio was here. Then who's calling? Ahh .. maybe Nesa. So thought her pretty brain. The little bag that hangs beautifully on his shoulders. But, the new number listed.


"Who, Rin?" ask Dio full of probes.


"Don't know, sir. New number, it's new."


"Don't, who knows it's important. Lift it!"


"WHERE ARE MY DRINKS?" Karin moved the object away from her ear, then put it back on.


"Yes, Father. A moment, yes," Karin replied with teeth cracking in anger. Then someone across the street cut off the phone. He breathed a rough breath.


"Who?"


"Sir Thomas, Sir. He asked me to get a drink. I'm riding again, sir."


"No need!" Dio called the other staff to deliver a drink to Thomas.


"By the way, is that your same bag of luggage?" dio asked the two staff who were on duty sleeping in the tent. They're shaken.


"That belongs to Mr. Thomas, sir," Karin replied as she raised her hand.


"You brought that?"


"No, I call the transfer service. But please, don't tell the owner, yeah." Karin sees all who sit with her one-on-one. They all compactly make hand movements like locking lips. As a sign, they'll keep their mouths shut. And laugh together.


At 4pm the filming of the first day was completed. All returned to the hotel except for the tent guard and Karin. He still has to call the transfer service to bring two big things belonging to the damn model. "How come, what kind of suitcase is the same? The feeling from the morning is not opened at all" Karin chirped.


"Maybe the talisman is in there, ma'am," one of the tent's guard staff joked.


"Yes, yeah. Later if people from the transfer come, you tell them to take them directly to the hotel and meet Mr. Thomas, yes, sir. I'll go back first."


"Ready Bu Karin. Careful."


While waiting for Thomas's suitcase to come. Karin who was sitting in the hotel lobby saw the scene that made her heart goosebumps. Father, mother and son who looked so happy walked into the hotel. Until they get to the receptionist, Karin turns her eyes away. Not strong, his heart was too sick, so it did not feel a speck of warm liquid flowing on his smooth cheeks.


He immediately wiped away his tears, as a tiny hand touched his black hair. Karin looked at the little girl fixedly, she was very beautiful.


"Sweet sister, what's her name?" ask Karin softly.


"I'm Kirana. Whose sister's name?" ask the girl back.


"Sister's name, Karina." Karin smiles. "Our names are almost similar" he continued.


The girl smiled, very sweet. He cupped both sides of Karin's face, then kissed her forehead. "Sister don't cry anymore, yeah. Mama said, if you are sad, you see the stars in the sky, you must be sad Brother is missing."


"Thank you, yeah, sweet sister."


"Kiran .. come on!" the mother called her little girl.


"Bah Brother." Karin waved her hand, not forgetting the friendly smile she developed.


His brown bead still continued to look at the little girl. He walked so cheerfully, while occasionally still waving his tiny hand at Karin.


"Excuse me, I'd like to deliver the goods on behalf of Mr. Thomas." The old man approached the receptionist. Karin came to him soon.


"I'm Mr. Thomas' assistant, let me take it. Thank ye. I paid for the application."


"Yes, Mom. Let's." Let's." Karin nodded.


Hard to drag the two big objects, I don't know what they contain. It's really heavy, Thomas ... Did you put a stone in this suitcase and bag?


Someone took over his luggage, Karin turned her head, and ....
