A Waiting (Letting Off Single)

Lost Direction

"Sir, this is the file Mr. Rasya requested." Dira gave some files that were directly received by Rasya.

"There was a call from Mr. Haris who was in Gresik he asked, when you can go to the place to check the project directly," continued Dira conveyed the message he received.

Rasya took his eyes off the files in his hands and looked at Dira. "Later if Mr. Haris calls again says we're there in about two weeks. You can come, right?"

Dira was silent for a moment. "I, Sir?" then he asked to make sure.

"Yes, because Doni must stay at the headquarters. I will try not to stay there."

Although hesitant, Dira finally agreed because this is a job demand so he must be able to be professional and set aside personal affairs. "Yes sir, I can."

Rasya kept staring at Dira. His eyes could now catch a necklace hanging from Dira's neck. That necklace?

Rasya stood up. He approached Dira.

Dira felt even more nervous as Rasya's hand held his shoulder against retreating. "This necklace?" Rasya's hand touched the necklace.

Dira quickly brushed off Rasya's hand. He's trying to stay calm. "What's up, sir?"

"This necklace is exactly the necklace that I once gave to Dara when I went to Surabaya."

Dira further closed the necklace to block Rasya's view. "Sorry sir, this is my necklace. I bought it myself."

Rasya now turned to look at Dira who was trying to shift his gaze. "Truthfully, what are you really hiding?"

Dira shook his head. Dira is not like a great artist who can hide everything perfectly. Rasya was suspicious.

"Ra, Dara used to say that it wasn't her that I met in the past. He also said that he was not the one I should have loved. And the fact is now, you appear as Dara's twin sister. Are you actually someone in that past and claimed to be Dara?"

Dira turned his body will go even though his hand was held by Rasya. "Sorry sir, maybe because I'm Dara's twin brother so Mr. Rasya feels that I'm Dara. And one fact is that I already have a potential fiancee."

A reality that was painful for Rasya. Whether Dira was his past or not, which he obviously both could not have.

Rasya let go of Dira's hand and let her out of the room.

Dira walked quickly and immediately entered his room. Immediately sit in front of the computer and remove the necklace.

"Why did I forget to take this necklace off..."

His mind was recalling one memory in the past.

"The necklace is beautiful..."

"I bought it for you..."

"Don't you, you're still in school, too..."

"Father, I have my own savings..."

"But the price is decent, it's real titanium..."

"Sir papa. Initial D, right? Later if we are both adults I replace this necklace with real gold yes..."

"Can we meet again?"

"Definitely..."

Dira rubbed his origin face, trying to forget all the memories that should not have been created at that time.

He put down his necklace and went back to work.

"It's a custom. I used to be like this." Rili smiled and then she slipped spoiled in Alvin's arm.

The cafe was not too crowded at the time. There were only a few visitors, as it was not a weekend. Rili also has memorized, Alvin often invited him to dinner precisely on a normal day so that they could use the cafe garden as a private room.

They are now sitting in the middle of the park. The outdoor atmosphere of the cafe is very romantic and the weather of the day is also very supportive, with the night sky decorated with stars.

Moments after they sat down, Aksa came over carrying food and drinks.

"Aksa, if the visitor has gone home, you close the cafe yes."

"Yes the boss." Aksa arranged food and drinks on the table.

"Thank You Aksa. Tumben you're the one who dropped in?" Rili asked while vacuuming the food that Aksa had just put down.

"Yes, no more playing in the music corner. I'm sorry." Aksa looked at her boss for a moment. He actually did not want his boss to go this way wrong.

One code Aksa got from Alvin so he immediately left the place.

They started eating the dishes on the table.

"You spend it, yes" Alvin smiled looking at his girl who ate voraciously. Yes, even though his heart is troubled but it will not eliminate Rili's appetite.

Rili now sipped the orange drink in half.

"Mas, I love you. I don't want to lose you."

Alvin now moved to sit on Rili's side and then grabbed Rili's shoulder. "Yes, I love you too. We'll always be together."

"I'm sorry Mas. I keep stalling our time. I'm...." Rili's words stopped because suddenly his head felt very heavy and his vision started to blur. "Mas, how come I'm suddenly dizzy..."

Alvin did not answer. He just rubbed Rili's arm a while later Rili completely fell asleep on Alvin's shoulder.

"I'm sorry..." That was the only sentence Alvin could say and further tightened his embrace.

He remained in position until Aksa came and informed the state of the cafe. "Boss, everyone's home."

"Okay, you clean this table first."

Aksa packed plates and glasses in front of Alvin's desk.

"Boss, think again about this. Don't be sorry. Because after waking up, Rili will definitely be angry with what the boss has done. He might hate the boss."

Alvin just fell silent, then he let out a rough breath.

"A half way. I can't turn the bow. Lock the cafe you brought. Have you prepared the cafe car?"

"It's the boss."

Alvin holds Rili's body. He walked out of the cafe. After getting into the car, Alvin immediately drove the car to a place. A place where there are only two of them.

In the yard of a large house, Alvin stopped his car. He got out of the car and carried Rili into the house. He laid Rili on the living room sofa and then he closed the door again and locked it.

He was now kneeling near Rili. Gently rubbing Rili's cheeks that did not react at all with her touch.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose you. I love you so much." One kiss landed on Rili's lips and then she lifted Rili's body and went into her room.

He slowly threw the body in the middle of the bed. He opens his shirt and restrains Rili's helpless body. She looked at the beautiful face, tracing it with her index finger from her forehead to her chin. Then it went down to the neck and stopped on top of the dress that covered her chest.....
