A World Without Seams

Rachel and Bram decided to go home first because of Rachel's slightly swollen legs.

"Where was that?" ask Bram.

"Where's what?" ask Rachel.

"I saw you in the same room as your boyfriend, he remembered?"

"Boro-boro... Talking is hard. There's a distraction" complained Rachel.

"But I can meet you,"

"Yes!"

"Why feet then?" ask Bram.

"Then his fans," Rachel replied while grumbling with annoyance.

"But it could have been alone" said Bram.

"Yes too,"

Rachel went back to thinking about her meeting with Jim which was too short. Rachel still wants to talk a lot about a lot of things but it's all spoiled when her friends get together. Either there is still a chance to meet again or not.

Rachel had to rest for a few days to recover her legs. After slightly improving, Rachel entered work with her legs slightly limping.

"Hul... You finally came in, why didn't you reply to my message? Are you home too?" andre asked her with questions while they were in the office lobby. Fortunately, it was quiet so not many eyes could see.

"Sorry sir, it's too late!" said Rachel. He hurried to walk. Andre pulled Rachel's hand.

"Hell! A minute!"

"Sir..."

"Hul... You why?" ask Andre.

"I'm okay sir,"

"Kok you're avoiding me?"

"Feel father, I'm in first sir!" Rachel asks for permission and walks away leaving Andre standing staring at Rachel's back wondering what she's doing wrong.

Rachel goes back to work and ignores the gossip between herself and Andre. As if nothing had happened. That is what Rachel wanted. He doesn't want to get close to anyone until he can restore Jim's memory.

The stitches behind his desk made his concentration crumble. Rachel decided to go out for a while. When he came out, Andini called him and invited him to the event that Rachel had attended with Andre. Apparently the event has been running for a few days and today is the last day. They rush because Andini there is a very urgent need in some stands.

Within 20 minutes they arrived. They went straight to the organizers and Andini was still busy with his affairs. Rachel just stood there carrying Andini's bag and file. Someone bumped into Rachel until everything she held fell.k0 ak

"Sorry!"

"It's okay, but..."

"Here I help...loh? Rachel?" ask the impactor.

"Eric?"

"What are you? How's feet?" ask her while handing over all of Rachel's belongings.

"Office business. My legs are better but they are still like this" replied Rachel.

"Oooooo-o... I'm sorry I was in such a hurry, I'm going in first!"

"Wait Ric!"

"Yes?"

"What else is coming?" ask Rachel.

"The others? Jim?" tanyakanya.

"Uhm.... Yeah." replied Rachel slowly.

"Hehehe, do you really like him?" Eric Goda.

"Issshhh nanya this loh," Rachel's murmur.

"Hahahaha yes he came, because the boyband yesterday gig and bring dancer. Not many just six people including me and Jim. You wanna meet? There's a fansign up ahead!"

"Can?" rachel asked expectantly.

"Fansign?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, but Jimnya" replied Rachel timidly.

"May, let me take you to the backstage!" take Eric. Rachel gave word to Andini by sending a message. Then he followed Eric to the backstage. Honestly, his heart wasn't beating normally to meet Jim.

"Fans?"tanyanya while frowning her forehead.

"Well in!" take Eric. They came in and approached Jim.

"Who? You were the one at that time." he asked.

"Yes" answered Rachel.

"I live first yeah, I finish some stuff first" Eric said. Stay them both.

"Sorry if I'm disturbing you,"

"No, let's sit here!" Jim gave Rachel a chair, then he grabbed another one for himself.

"What's wrong?" jim smiled at Rachel. Rachel was confused as to what to say.

"Uhm... How are you?" ask Rachel. Jim laughed when he heard it.

"Good... Oh yeah, I didn't get to thank you at the time. Thanks for helping,"

"Just a little bit, are you filling out the show here?" ask Rachel.

"Yes, and they're fansign. You're not following along?" ask Jim with a laugh.

"No, I'm just like you!" rachel said with a laugh.

"Waaah, I'm flattered there are fans as beautiful as you," he said. Their chatter just flowed by and Rachel seemed to find a lot to tell. And Jim loved the way Rachel told stories and laughed. She felt Rachel's laughter was no stranger to her ears.

They both talk until they forget about time. Andini had to call Rachel to go back to the office. Eventually they split up, Rachel returned to her office and Jim tidied up his luggage and headed home.

After Rachel was no longer there, Jim was struck by Rachel's laughter. Jim smiled as he stuffed the last little towel into his bag.

"That's happy!" said Eric who just returned after putting his stuff in the car.

"You know that girl?" ask Jim

"Rachel?"

"Yes, that's his name. He's funny too. And you have her cell phone number, right?" Jim Todong.

"Hey! You guys talked all that time and you didn't get the phone number?" eric's laughter.

"He was talking! Right here! Ask for the number!"

"No! Next time ask for it yourself!"

"Huh! Tell me you don't have one, right?"

"Have! Hey, all the girls' cell phone numbers on my phone you took! I'm defending this one!" said Eric.

"This time is serious! I want him!" said Jim.

"Then the japanese girl? What's-her-name? Nae?" ask Eric. Jim was silent for a moment.

"He's..."

"Yuk! Beeyang! Aaaah the body feels sore all. You guys wanna come home or stop by?" ask the dancer who just came in.

"I'm home!" said Jim

"Me too!" said Eric.

Then after a good bye with some other dancers and boy bands, they part ways. Eric and Jim are one car, because Jim has not been allowed to drive his own car. He always followed Eric.

Along the way Jim thought of Rachel. His memories always led to their chatter earlier, hearing his voice telling stories with his spirit and cheerful laughter. Somehow Jim can make Rachel's figure stick in his memory.

"Think Nae?" ask Eric.

"No, I was thinking about Rachel,"

"Seriously? Do you remember anything?" ask Eric.

"Remember something? Nothing, but I'm no stranger to laughter. His laughter makes me opium!" Jim pulled his hair.

"Waaa... You really like her?" ask Eric.

"Eitherway! I feel close to him, but I don't remember anything. Was he our friend from before?" ask Jim.

"Open up, but someone told me. If you have a boyfriend,"

"Daughter? Did ya? Wh who? I don't remember anything! Sometimes I hate this situation, I miss a lot of important things!" Jim said annoyed and threw his gaze out.

"You wanna know? She's...."
