A Pair of Lotus Flowers

I'm Gone

Early in the morning I was still at Siska's house, why my body felt so limp today.I intend to go home by taxi and leave my car at Siska's house,but suddenly Beni came to pick me up because he was told by papah.

"Thank you Ben for picking me up" I said as I got into the car.

"Yes" he answered briefly.

"Aren't you going to college today?"

"No" he answered with a flat face.

I sighed I heard a short answer from Beni.It seems like Beni is still mad at me, but this is better than her having to constantly ask me back into her arms.The journey to the house feels very long, but,because we don't talk to each other.

Arriving at home I went straight to my room, the father turned out to have left for the hospital as usual.I saw my belongings, I saw my stuff,it turns out there are still some more that I have to prepare.I have also told mamah that I will go to Bali when the engagement of Beni is 5 days away.

****

Day by day nothing special happens in this house,tomorrow is the day of the engagement of Beni.And tonight I also have finished preparing to leave for Bali.When I get off my room I see papah is alone in the TV room.

"Well, isn't he asleep?" My greeting.

"Nara,iya nih papah is not sleepy" replied the papah.

"Why?I need to be ready for tomorrow's event" I said while sitting next to Papah.

"I don't know, maybe there's too much thought."

"Udahlah pah, papah should relax do not be too dizzy think this"

"Actually sad papah, papah children are now adults.Beni is soon engaged and will get married.One time you also must be the same, one by one you will leave papah alone" said Papah with a sad face.

"Well, even if later Nara goes ninggalin papah, papah should not be sad.Papah must take care of papah's health and live well, because Nara left not because she hated the same papah, but because Nara had to go reward" I said while hugging Papah.

"You are why the rich who want to quickly leave papah?Kan who wants to quickly marry your brother" said Papah while stroking my head.

I just smiled, when I meant my parting words with papah tomorrow.Hopefully tomorrow I can get out of this house safely and immediately fly to Bali.

The next morning my house was crowded with people who helped prepare the engagement of Beni.Papah also turned out to bring makeup artists to decorate me, Art and papah.

Because of too many people I was worried about whether I could sneak out and leave the house?After I finished making up, I immediately told Siska to come.I also prepared my carry-on bag to carry my other luggage.

When Papah and Beni are still busy preparing their departure to the Princess' house,I quietly got out of the house and went to wait for Siska on the side of the road.A few minutes later Siska finally came and I went straight to her car.

"Is it really okay to leave now?" Ask Siska.

"No, this is a good opportunity for me because they are busy and do not have time to pay attention to me" I replied.

"But Ra if the engagement is broken because they nyariin lo, how?"

"Yes maybe Beni is not the soul mate Princess.Mau Beni fiancee now or not, will not change my situation with him.We certainly still can not be together Sis."

Arriving at the airport, it turns out my phone is full of missed calls from Papah and also Beni.Maybe they have realized that I am not at home.Many incoming messages from Beni, too,from the start he was angry until he begged me to go home quickly.And when I read Beni's message, my phone rang again.It turns out that the phone came in from papah, because it did not want to make him worry I then picked it up.

"Hello Pah"

"Hello Nara, where the hell are you?We are already on the road to the Princess' house, you quickly followed directly to the Princess' house! " Papah said.

"Well, do you take good care of yourself?From now on Nara wants to stay with mamah, Nara must be fine anyway.Later one day we will meet again" said I.

"What do you mean Nara?Hello...!! Naraa.." Shouted papah on the phone.

I immediately turned off the phone from Papah, then I threw away my SIM Card phone for later I replaced it with a new one.

"Propay ya Ra,lo must be strong.If according to this lo you are the best you can, Ra" said Siska who had been accompanying me.

"Yes Sis, thank you, you've always been there for me.Later if Beni asked about me to elo,you answer me if I am okay with my nyokap.Don't ever tell anyone if I am in Bali"

"Yes Nara lo calm down,lo serahin aja problem here to me, which is important lo focus to birth and take care of your baby well" said Siska while holding my stomach.

I am so grateful to have a friend like Siska, as long as there is him as if everything will be fine.I started to enter the plane, leaving behind all the life of Jakarta that is very draining for me.

Papah, I will definitely be fine with mamah and someday we will meet again.Beni, may this be the best for both of us, I will definitely take good care of our child,and Deon, may you not meet a woman like me again, may you get a truly sincere person and love with you.
