Sekar unceasingly walked back and forth by biting his fingertips. Habits he always does whenever he feels restless. The narrow boarding room made Kirana's sister feel claustrophobic looking at her brother's behavior.
"What's the matter, Ma'am?" kirana asked while making soup for their breakfast. He felt surprised that his brother was usually restless in the morning.
I looked at him for a moment, "Ah, nothing. Continue cooking I want to take a shower first" he replied and then went to the bathroom to get ready to go to work.
Even today in the store Sekar can not concentrate. His brain is dead-end. Somehow the next thing he will do with a figure named Bima.
Many times he saw a cell phone from his pocket, there was no call or message from Bima. Thinking about it really makes him feel frustrated. Why does he feel bad? 'Oh, my goodness Sekar moved on, moved on, ' many times he shouted in his heart but many times his heart refused. She finally cried herself in her heart.
A week has passed but remained silent no notification from Bima. Just a little calm.
"What are we eating tonight?" ask Kirana that afternoon.
"As much as you are I am tired of taking a shower" he replied as he walked into the stuffy, damp room.
"Sir, how is your lecture going to be over soon?" ask them when they have dinner.
"I don't have to go to college anymore, Mom. Now stay focused while waiting for graduation," Kirana replied after swallowing food in her mouth.
"Work well so that the results are satisfactory and you can achieve your next dream," advised the brother who was greeted with a nod and a confident smile from the sister.
Kirana knew that her sister was having problems. Unfortunately, the brother never wanted to share his problems with him for various reasons.
"Sir, said the mother, the mother needs money for the cost of medical treatment. Yesterday I was admitted to the hospital, so I need a drug that is not covered by health insurance from the government, buy the drug is expensive," Karina delivered a message from their mother who called this afternoon while Sekar was at work.
Huftt breathed heavily, just a week ago he sent money to his mother and now has to send money again.
"Do you have no money, Dek?"
"There it is, Ma'am. But for our daily living expenses, am I still paying a long payday Do you have no money anymore?" ask Kirana heart.
"There's just not much. Yes, I'll send it."
Their father had a swollen heart due to his youth spent doing hard work to support them. Now their father must often seek treatment and rest so that the pain does not recur.
Their parents are in the village. Kirana is here for college and Sekar for work. Life in the city is very different from the village. Here everything must use money so that they have to be extra frugal in order to be able to send money to parents in the village.
"Mom, the money has been sent. How are you and dad?" ask Sekar after sending money to his mother.
"Alhamdulillah healthy all. I'm sorry, Son, Mom and Dad have troubled you" said sincerely Mother on the other end of the phone.
"No really, Mom, while there must be Sekar Beri," said Sekar made tears flow on the cheeks wrinkles Mother.
"Thank you, son. May God soon give you the way of happiness and you will be a lucky woman in this world" said the mother's heartfelt prayer.
"Amiiinnn," that's all that can be said on Sekar's lips.
"When are you home?"
"See, Ms. Sekar has not been able to leave, this month's vacation has been taken to go home in the last month so now Sekar does not have time to leave anymore."
Because the absence of a sign Bima will contact him makes Sekar a dilemma. One side he missed Bima one side he was worried when he met her again. Love and fear become one.
He saw a photograph he held. A smile on his lips. A picture of some young people in it. He missed that moment.
"Assalamualaikum, Mas Rafa how are you?" ask Sekar when the phone call is connected.
"Greetings, Sekar. Good news. How's yours?" Reply Rafa from across "Alhamdulillah mas can still call Rafa mas," silent for a moment.
"Mas Rafa's still in Austria?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Did Rafa know about Mas Bima?" Finally his mode called his former employer revealed
"Oh, so this is where you're calling, Mas?" rafa asked in a seductive tone making her face blush
"You think you've moved on ?" Silent.
"I heard he had returned to Indonesia five months ago. Why, still missing?"
"A week ago I met him. He asked for my phone number but until now he didn't call me" Sekar started telling me.
"Cie cie who was hoping, again" Rafa again teased him. Rafa is a good employer. He already considers Sekar his sister, while Bima is his best friend when they are in college.
"Ih, Mas," Sekar began to get annoyed
"Yes, yes" finally want to be serious.
"I'm afraid he'll sue me" he said.
"If he demands you responsibility, then you haven't had the responsibility."
"I'm scared."
"There is no need to fear that everything will go according to destiny even if we reject it, that destiny will go on. Face it whatever it wants, maybe it's your way of love." There was laughter across the street and he knew Rafa was laughing at him.
Hufft Sekar drew and exhaled.
"Well, whatever it is, never run away from reality. If your destiny is to separate you will still be separated, if your destiny is united then somehow your path will remain united. I'm sure he hasn't let you go because he knows how he is. He will definitely tie you tighter after this," said Rafa already like a fortune teller.
Sekar who heard the word Rafa was only able to fall silent not knowing what to say finally he closed the call.
'Yeah, he has to deal with it anyway. He was guilty so he had to take responsibility, whatever it was, ' he said in his heart.
After talking to Rafa his heart was stronger. Accepting does not mean giving up, whispered the other side of his heart. He began to spend his time back in peace.
Working work works not only looking for a woman but also to turn her attention to everything that disturbs her mind .
