A UNITY THAT CANNOT BE UNITED
THE BROKEN WING
Faisal began to feel homesick. It's not usually like that. This was the first time he had felt such a thing. As usual, he asked the girl. However, Faisal managed to get Natasha's number.
Both are actively involved in cellular conversations. But unlike the enthusiastic Faisal who always immersed himself in the conversation, Jamal noticed and sometimes just stared cynically.
The parobaya man was among those who understood physiognomy, and could deduce that the girl had a very high sense of social strata.
The man was rightly memorized. Once, Faisal again accompanied Natasha in League Hub, in Ketabang, Genteng, opposite the Kali Mas river in Surabaya City.
As usual, Faisal was just plain dressed as the lower middle youth. There was nothing fancy about her appearance, although Faisal could have changed it if he wanted to. But once again, he wanted to appear as if in front of Natasha.
Jamal himself asked Faisal only to spy from a safe distance. Natasha looked through rows of classy clothes hangers. Jamal. The man was well-versed with female models. Natasha herself had seen some clothes hanging. Faisal motionlessly approached the place where Jamal was observing them. It passed by at a table where several magazines were scattered.
Faisal's gaze hit a magazine cover where the young man's face was clearly visible as a young businessman who was still studying. The young man grabbed the magazine and turned it over.
Get rid of that thing. How Natasha can't see and be aware of the reality...
Jamal grabbed the magazine and looked at the young master. He protested through inner conversation anyway.
Young Master...why not be honest with him? Isn't that better?
Faisal only gave him a glance.
I want to test it....
The young man then left Jamal, who was busy collecting the magazine, after which he stepped away from Jamal and approached Natasha. Faisal stood behind Natasha. The girl turned her body, holding onto a piece of clothing.
"Good huh?" natasha's comment lifted the clothes to the chest.
Faisal only smiled and Natasha was immediately disappointed to see the young man's smile. The girl knew the man did not have enough budget to fulfill his desire to have the clothes. Natasha sighed and smiled.
"I can have it next time" she put the clothes back on her hanger and asked Faisal to leave the mall.
...*******...
"Sir.. try to express your love to him." suggested Jamal when Faisal sat on the sofa marked the second floor. "Look at how she reacts to your love statement."
Faisal listened silently to the man until he smiled and looked at Jamal. "What's the rush for, Jamal? There's still plenty of time" Faisal said.
"The time you are with him is only four days away." said Jamal reminded. "I know, this seems rushed. But, until when can you last long? The woman cannot be allowed to wait. They'll be looking for backup. Before you claim your right to love her, she hunts down to find someone more worthy of her."
Faisal was silent to the words of his family bodyguard. Long too the young man fell silent and occasionally observed Jamal who was also staring at him without turning a single look. Finally Faisal nodded.
"Well, I'll try to express my feelings" Faisal said.
Jamal nodded. "I will continue to observe from a safe distance."
Faisal nodded in agreement to the utterances of his bodyguards.
...******...
Surabaya City Park. At 16.15 WIB.
The twilight along the road Gubeng Corner was rather quiet. Faisal leaned his back on the bridge barrier, both with Natasha enjoying the riverbank that divides the city of Surabaya. The man's ontel bike was parked a few meters from where they stood staring at the slow flow of the Kali Mas river. Natasha doesn't ride her bike. He came by taxi online.
"Three days of our togetherness. Do you feel anything else?" faisal Fishing.
Natasha just laughed.
Faisal laughed, "What makes you laugh? Is there something funny about what I said?"
Natasha nodded her head. "Your words just now are like people who want a date."
"Tell me like that" said Faisal. "What do you think, if I'm being honest with myself that I'm starting to like where you are by my side. What say?"
"I don't tweet my feelings. It's really from my heart." Faisal Tandas. "I like you."
Natasha looked at Faisal for a long time. Shortly afterwards he smiled and shook his head. "I don't think we're going to be as firm as we are, Fais." Natasha smiled.
Faisal smiled. "Why could that be?"
"We can't be together" Natasha said. "Our way of life and lifestyle are different Fais."
Faisal showed his smile. "Is it.. 'cause I'm poor?" faisal Fishing.
Natasha let out a breath. Before long appeared a Ferrari Pista Spider. Faisal knew the vehicle. Driver too. That's the guy who once spilled a mineral drink on his clothes. The vehicle stopped a few feet from both. The rider came out and waved at Natasha while leaning his back against his vehicle.
Faisal lost his smile, just as Natasha was smiling. He breathed again.
"Goodbye Fais" said the girl. "This is our last meeting."
Fais looked at Natasha who turned her body away and approached the man who owned the Ferrari Pista Spider. The man momentarily threw a triumphant smile at Faisal who stood upright. As soon as Natasha arrived by his side, the man opened the door allowing the girl to enter.
A moment later came a Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended piloted by Jamal, slowly approaching the Ferrari Pista Spider right in Natasha's sight.
Jamal got out of the vehicle and for a moment the girl was surprised to realize that the parobaya man who came out of the car had seen him several times in the same place when Faisal and himself chatted.
Jamal approached Faisal who was still staring at Natasha who was staring pushyly at the two of them. Jamal put the coat over Faisal's shoulder and threw a look at Natasha and threw a cynical smile.
You fooled the look of boy....
Jamal then let Faisal into the Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended, followed by Jamal who also entered the vehicle. Before long the two vehicles moved past each other and at that time Faisal clashed face to face with Natasha. The man's smile was no more for her.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended left the corner, leaving the onthel bike still parked on the bridge fence.
Since then, Faisal has been a vagabond.
Jamal stuck his fingers on the car dashboard, pressing the play button on the head unit device. Cash Cash Cash was sung by Christina Perri.

Faris stared at the cityscape from the window where she sat on her foot. The luxury vehicle runs down the road to the Ampeldenta area. []
