A World Without Seams

Tania's words made Rachel think a lot. Somehow his heart is at the moment. He is in a comfort zone but if too comfortable with his age environment will increase and he no longer thinks about marriage. A marriage must be desired by women, as well as Rachel. But the problem until now his heart has not been able to determine who he likes.

After meeting with Tania, Rachel decides not to go into the office and chooses to go home. He ignored calls and messages from Andre. He doesn't want to meet anyone.

Rachel went into the house and cleaned up. After that he went upstairs. His office is his most comfortable place right now. His phone rang many times. Almost all of Andre. Rachel ignored him and chose to relax staring at the afternoon sky from her study.

At times like this, he misses Jim. The man slightly filled his head at this moment. He vividly remembers Jim's face and dance.

Rachel rushed back to the room, grabbed a book and a pencil and began to scratch the silhouette she had already memorized in her head. The figure of Jim's silhouette performing a spinning dance is starting to look. Rachel gave a firm line to some parts of the eye to make it look more alive. Rachel smiled as she painted.

"Hul?"

"Yes?" he answered while looking at the door. Cecil stood there taking her down. Rachel takes care of her work and catches up with Cecil.

Underneath there Andre was playing his phone, the drink in front of him was still intact untouched.

"Andre? been long?" ask Rachel.

"Aren't you too busy?" tanyakanya.

"Not really, what's up?"

"I want to take you on the road" he replied, staring at Rachel.

"I'm..."

"Please, g no rejection. And to be honest I'm still angry" Andre scolded with a bent face.

"Why?" ask Rachel.

"You still have why? You can't tell me if you don't go to the office,"

"I'm sorry, it was a bit busy, though" said Rachel.

"Then now?" demand Andre.

"Okay, I'm getting ready first" Rachel said making a smile on Andre's face.

It didn't take long, they had boarded Andre's car and enjoyed the night telling him many things. Andre is indeed a good friend and there is no more feeling for him.

"Where are we?" rachel asked a little worriedly as they walked through the unfamiliar streets of Rachel.

"You're gonna love it,"

"But where? you didn't intend to kidnap me, did you?" rachel said making Andre laugh filled the car.

"Hahaha that's impossible!" the answer.

"Continue?"

"Udah ah, it's safe. I guarantee you like it," Andre looked at her with a smile. Rachel threw a glance out and saw the quiet streets become crowded.

"Is there an event here?" ask Rachel.

"Yups, let's get there, '" Andre pointed at a direction not far from their car in the parking lot.

"This...?" Rachel was speechless looking at the crowd that was in front of her eyes.

"As I remember you used to love noisy events not clear as gini," Andre said a little shouting making some people look at him cynically.

"Hahaha.yeah, exciting tau!" rachel answered looking in the field some people were doing the dance. Yes they are a group of dancers who have talent and practice also compete on the streets. They are often called street dancers.

Rachel enjoys an event that is only done once a week on the road that is rarely passed by vehicles. They enjoy various types of dance and also fashion that is fairly unique and cool according to Rachel.

"Do you know who this place is from?" ask Rachel.

"My cousin's sister was on this show, she was there! Come on!" Andre pulled Rachel's hand closer to his cousin who was wearing only an oversize white T-shirt and black pants.

"Hi Bro!" Andre patted the man's back slowly.

"He likes your show" Andre explained.

"Not so convincing but well welcome girl! enjoy all this. This is our world" the man smiled at Rachel.

"This is my cousin, his name is Erik and this is my friend Rachel!"

"Hi! Rachel!"

"Erik" he answered briefly.

"Let's sit there!" take Andre to point to one of the sidewalks. They sat there enjoying the dance of Erik and his friends. Rachel hopes she finds Jim here. Who knows Jim training in this place or join this community. Rachel is hopeful.

"What do you think?" ask Andre.

"No, I just think who knows if there's one of them I know,"

"Do you have a dance team?" tanyakanya.

"Temen I just met, but it's not here. I didn't know if he was on this street dancer or not,"

"Just ask, who knows Erik,"

"Yes, yeah, I'll ask you, too" said Rachel.

The more the night the event gets hotter, the more it goes down along the way. They dance, body contort, salto and so on to the rhythm of the song. At exactly 23:00 Rachel came home and she asked a dancer named Jim. A moment of silence around them but they were silent. The awkward atmosphere made Rachel retreat and retire. He fears Jim's name is a taboo name in this community.

Rachel and Andre walked away from the crowd and walked towards the parking lot. As he was about to open the door, his hand was stopped by Erik.

"Can I have some time?" tanyakanya. Rachel looked at Andre and she nodded. Erik took her a little away from Andre.

"What's wrong?" ask Rachel.

"Do you know Jim?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, is he in this community? she your friend?" ask Rachel.

"What's he like?" asked Erik who didn't heed Rachel's question.

Rachel mentions Jim's character to Erik. Erik nodded as if in belief.

"Where do you know Jim?" ask again.

"I just got to know her, I just moved house and saw her dancing in the park. Then the introductions just happen. Is he not coming tonight? without telling you?" ask Rachel.

"Just a second! you just knew him?"

"Yes, why?"

"Did I hear wrong?" ask again.

"No! it's only been a few weeks that I've seen him and accompanied him to practice" Rachel replied.

"How is possible! you lied to me!" erik's eyes narrowed slightly.

"No! why would I lie to someone I just met!" Rachel did not accept the charges against Erik.

"Is this Jim you mean?" tanyanya thrust her phone with a picture of Jim figure who is very familiar to her. Jim smiled at the camera. Although the color of his hair was black, he could not have mistaken people.

"Really! that's Jim and when's the picture? Now her hair is white, silvery isn't it?" ask Rachel.

Erik looked at him in disbelief with his mouth slightly open.

"It is impossible." he answered, covering his mouth with one hand. Rachel was confused.

What the hell is it? Who's Jim? And why doesn't Erik believe they're friends? It is like a puzzle that has just begun. Rachel is increasingly curious about Jim. He'll ask Jim when they meet again.
