Adit's Death

"Andra!" call Miss Mirna in a loud voice.

Andra gasped in shock, until accidentally, he spilled a glass of water that he was holding. Miss Mirna looked at her son in wonder, asked about Ella's news, Andra immediately looked up, what happened to Ella?

"Why you?" ma'am Mirna asked while holding Andra's hand.

"I'm fine Ma, just now.so the glass is slippery." replied Andra nervously.

"So you're daydreaming, why?" ask Miss Mirna.

"I don't daydream about Ma." replied Andra.

"Yes, you answer Mama's question, how's Ella doing, she's okay, right?" Miss Mirna repeated her question.

"Well, he's good Ma, very good." replied Andra with a smile.

"Thank God then." muttered Miss Mirna.

"Yes Ma. Oh yes, I leave now yes, later send greetings to Om Adit. I go first Ma." Andra said as she moved from her seat, she stepped away from the dining table in a hurry.

Miss Mirna felt something was wrong with her son.

"Hopefully you love Nadhira Ndra, and your feelings for Ella are only friends. But I doubt that girl is too perfect not to love you, afraid you just haven't noticed how you feel. If indeed you have other feelings for Ella, may you notice Ndra soon, before it's too late." muttered Bu Mirna as she stared at Andra's departure.

Andra was sitting languidly in her work chair, a file piled up in front of her, not touched at all. Andra could not focus on work, her mind drifting away at the shadow of someone far away.

Questions from his mother, successfully made his heart chaotic. Memories after memories of his past with Ella, swirling around in his memories. What's up with him?

Andra snorted angrily, then she grabbed her phone, and called someone. But unfortunately the number that Andra is aiming for is not active.

"Armghhh!!" andra growled while putting down her phone. He was disappointed when he failed to contact Ella.

Then he got up from his seat, and stepped near the window.

Andra stared out, looking very dense urban atmosphere, with the sunlight that began to sting. Andra looked up slightly, staring at the vast expanse of blue sky.

Far away there, under the same sky, was there someone he longed for so much, and what was he? when will he ever again set foot in this country?

Andra took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. Is this what it feels like to miss?

"Hurry back El, I want to see you. I want to go through the day with you again. Many things I want to tell you, it turns out Om Adit is his girlfriend Mama, but now he is sick, pray that he will recover quickly. And soon I'm engaged, I hope you can come to me later." Andra said with a smile. It was as if he was sending his message to the breeze that was blowing slowly.

While Andra was still late in his daydream, someone touched his shoulder.

Andra flinched in shock, and immediately turned her head, her lover was already standing next to her, whether since when she had come, Andra had not heard the creaking of the opened door.

"Nadhira." muttered Andra nervously.

"Why are you Ndra?" nadhira asked, he felt strange with Andra's attitude. He knocked on the door many times, but there was no reply from Andra. And when he entered, it turned out that Andra was standing by the window smiling to herself, I don't know what she thought, and now Andra looks nervous when she realizes her presence.

"I'm fine, you since when did you come?" answer Andra.

"I knocked on the door, but there was no answer from you. Then I went in, and saw you daydreaming here, what were you thinking?" nadhira asked while looking at Andra.

"I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just a little tired, so I'm resting here for a while" Andra replied with a smile.

"Rest by standing by the window, you're a little funny Ndra." said Nadhira.

Andra did not answer Nadhira's words, he stepped up, and sat back in his chair.

"Sit down!" andra said as she looked at Nadhira who was glued near the window.

"I've always believed in you Ndra, I hope you never let me down. I love you, I want to be with you forever." Nadhira murmured in her heart.

Then Nadhira sat in front of Andra, he played his phone while waiting for his girlfriend who was working.

On the sidelines of his work, Andra had a glance at Nadhira, he saw the woman was engrossed in his game.

"I'm sorry Nad, I've missed women other than you. But she's Ella, our best friend. You won't be angry." Andra said in her heart.

Andra was immersed in her work until lunch time, there were still many files she had not finished. But Andra intends to postpone it, he must immediately leave the room, and look for a ring with his lover. Andra no longer wanted to disappoint Nadhira, pity the woman had endured, and be patient over all her bad manners.

"Let's have lunch baby, after that we look for the ring, and the dress!" take Andra while moving from her seat.

"You're done?" nadhira asked with a smile.

"Here." replied Andra while returning Nadhira's smile.

Then Nadhira got up from her seat, and they walked hand in hand out of the room.

***

Two hours later.

Andra smiled as she stepped into the shop. This was the third time he had visited this place, the first when he bought a necklace with an apple pendant for Ella, and the second when he ordered a necklace with an eiffel tower pendant, also for Ella. And the third is now.

A pretty girl, welcoming them with a friendly smile, Nadhira returned the girl's smile more kindly. His heart is really happy at this time, it feels like he still does not believe, if soon the man he loves very much, will be his fiancee.

"Mas Andra." greet the other girl who just saw them. She is the longest-serving employee in the store, she has worked here for five years, her name is Diana.

"Yes." answered Andra briefly.

"What are you looking for?" ask Diana.

"A pair of rings." answered Andra.

"Mas Andra wants to get married?" ask Diana.

"Fiancee." replied Andra with a smile.

"Oh that's right." murmured Diana while showing some ring models to Andra, and Nadhira.

The girl explained one by one the ring models she showed, Andra did not care much about it, she let Nadhira choose her own, she just accompanied next to him, while answering nice, beautiful, cool, cool, when Nadhira asked his opinion.

Shortly thereafter, Nadhira had made her choice, a ring with a simple carving, but quite interesting. Andra smiled, agreeing with Nadhira's choice.

"This is it" Nadhira told Diana.

"Well, ma'am." replied Diana. Then he put the ring in a jewelry box.

Andra took out her credit card, and paid for her administration.

"Is this supposed to be the simple woman Mas Andra told me about at the time?" diana asked as she gave her jewelry box.

"Simple woman." muttered Nadhira as he looked at Diana in full search, who is the simple woman he meant?

Diana looked misbehaved as Nadhira looked at her sharply.

"I was wrong, sorry Mas Andra I was accidentally" Diana said nervously.

Andra did not reply, he only scratched the scratching of his head that was not itchy.

"What a simple woman is, by the way, don't be afraid" Nadhira said as she approached Diana.

"Sa.. I don't know either" replied Diana.

"What did Andra say?" ask Nadhira.

"Don't tell me what Ma'am is" Diana replied.

"Choose to say, or I'll report to your superiors, for you to be fired" Nadhira said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't Ma'am, I need this job" Diana replied.

"Then say it." snapped Nadhira. He was sure if the simple woman was not him, because from the past until now, he was very glamorous in appearance.

"Mas Andra once bought a necklace here, he said to a simple woman" Diana replied with a lowered head.

"What's his name?" ask Nadhira.

"I don't know Ma'am." replied Diana.

Nadhira snorted in annoyance, as he stepped away leaving the shop. Andra followed him in the back. Andra knew that if Nadhira was very upset, evident when he closed the car door, his voice sounded quite loud in Andra's ear.

"Don't be angry baby, it's just the past" Andra said as they sat next to her in the car.

"Who is he?" ask Nadhira.

"Just the past." answered Andra.

"I want to know her name" said Nadhira. He was very curious about the woman, must be very special for Andra, proof until bought a necklace all.

"She..." Andra had not been able to continue his sentence, arrived his phone rang, it turned out his mother was calling.

"Hallo Ma." said Andra.

"I Bik Surti Tuan." replied Bik Surti.

"What's the Bik?" asked Andra was was was, why Bik Surti called her with his mother's phone.

"The lady is now in the hospital Mr. Madam passed out, when the doctor said Mr. Adit died" replied Bik Surti.

"What.." cried Andra in shock.

Sontak Nadhira immediately looked at Andra, from the look on her face, and her tone of speech, it seemed like Andra was getting bad news.
