Back to Meiske.


Panic started to hit me.Sometimes it was strange to be able to go home.


"Hmmmm.mending I take a taxi. Until the new house is taken the money." That's what I thought.


I finally decided to take a taxi even though all I knew was my school address. It's okay as long as it's up.


I started heading to the highway, waiting for a taxi to pass.


And, sure enough, there's a car that's slowing down to me and lowering the windshield.


"Neng, where are you going?" ask the brother in the car. Uh, not brother, more to the fathers when seen from the look of his face.


"Mmm.mau to SMA Gita Bangsa Pak." I replied.


The father slightly scrunched his forehead. Probably the same question in his mind as Mother. Night-night to distant High School.


"Why are you going there? it's late." Maybe the father thought something else.


"Mmmm...." I've scratched my head.


"Gini Sir. My house is near the High School. I'm afraid that if I give you the address I no one knows. Anyway, I was stray sir wanted to go home I was confused." I answered honestly.


"Jeez Neng has been this night using rough. Let's take Mr. between." replied the father while opening the car door for me.


Aahhh, today it turns out there are still many good people.eeittzzz, wait until you arrive at a new destination is arguably good.


My heart fights itself.


I finally chose to follow my father. Hopefully his father is good.


"Sir, I'm sorry I missed my wallet too. So, until the new house I pay you, huh?" still honestly I expressed my distress to the new Father I know.


"No problem Neng. About it is great." said the father with a friendly smile.


Aahhh, that smile was like the figure of 'Father' who loved his daughter.


"Neng why did you get here? whose road was the same?" ask the Father.


"Eh, it was the same sir. It's just that..mmmmm." I don't know where to tell you from.


"Lha, what kind of people leave alone like this. No responsibility!" with a tone like an angry 'Father.


"Eh Sir. It's not like that. I'm wrong sir leave them without telling first." rectify the words of the Father.


"But it's still wrong Neng. Far away you know. Uh, Neng said they were? does that mean there's a lot?" ask the Father again.


"Eh, yes sir. There are 2 people sir. Only, I left them both Sir. So, they're not wrong." I replied again.


"Neng, if you want to run away see the situation. I don't know what the problem is. Just advice. The present age must be careful. We never know what's going to happen." the Father's advice.


"Yes sir." I replied confirming what Father said.


True too said the Father. If only I hadn't met the Father, I don't know what I would have been in a foreign place like this.


And, the father continued to drive his vehicle.

In other situations, both Jody and Sky were very anxious to learn that Meiske was nowhere to be found.


"Where else to look?" Jody doesn't know where to go anymore.


Seen, Sky banged his wheel furiously. He also looks very worried.


"Let me call Andra" said Jody.


"Do it quickly!" like an order coming out of Sky's lips.


Jody grabbed her phone and started calling. Some time later, Andra finally received the call.


"Ndra. Can you help me?" jody sounded talking.


"Now also please go to Meiske's house!" there's emphasis there.


"No need to do it.Urgent!" when the word came out Andra instantly turned off her phone.


"Where?" sky asked impatiently.


Jody just glanced and slightly nodded then slammed her head slowly on the back of the car.


"Where only. Even if we could every alley we'd take!" replied Sky who was already focused with his steering wheel and his eagle-like eyes looked at everything in front of him.


Jody did the same.

"Neng, is neng hungry?" ask the Father to break the silence.


"Eh, no sir. Anyway, I don't have any money sir." I replied.


"Ah, no problem." replied the father who seemed to have slowed down his vehicle a little and immediately parked the vehicle on the corner of the road.


"So soon Neng." The father was out of his car.


"Eh Sir!" a little surprised by what my father did.


Seen, the father headed to a tent stall across the street. I looked straight at the Father.


There was a shadow passing by. Is it good, Father? or? I was worried about all this but my eyes kept watching the movements of the Father.


About 15 minutes waiting, finally the father returned with a white plastic package.


"Eat first Neng. It's dinner time." said the Father who then handed the package of food to me.


I was a bit hesitant to accept the package but the Father nodded and I accepted it.


"Tok only 1 sir? trus, you don't eat?" tanyaku and while opening the package it turns out the Father bought a packet of fried rice.


"Eh, you ate already" replied the Father.


"Ahh, you forgot" said the father who again got out of the car to the place earlier.


I haven't touched my food and waited for what the Father bought.


A minute later it turned out that the Father bought a drink and then handed it to me.


"Snake you eat?" ask again.


"It's done. Neng just eat first." replied the Father.


I put the package down and got out of the car.


"Where are you going Neng?" ask the Father.


"For a while sir." I answered and crossed the road leading to the stall earlier.


A minute later, I came back with rice paper.


Then, I opened the packet of fried rice, split it into the other rice paper.


"Sir, we eat together." handed the half fried rice over to you.


The Father smiled and finally Me and the Father had dinner together in the car.

Panic strikes Sky and Jody. When the two of them saw the clock was already showing at 19:45.


And, the instant the ringing sound on Jody's phone startled The two of them.


Andra's calling.


"Yes,Indra. How's it? Meiske's home?" ask Jody.


And, after hearing Andra's reply Jody's panic increased.


"Where? have you?" asked Sky who was also already very panicked.


Jody nodded slowly.


"Haiiissss...." Sky hit his wheel again with emotion.


Jody just lifted her head and leaned against the back of the car with her eyes closed.


"How is this?" Sky is still trying to think back.


Jody also thought in silence. The two of them finally fell silent with the thought of each of them about to do much less to get Meiske.
