Almera's Gigolo

12. Almera Concern

Tick ..tok.tik..

the big clock on my bedroom wall was already showing at 3 am, but my eyes could not sleep yet, my mind wandered erratically .

Already a week ago he returned from Bandung, but until this moment Alex has not contacted at all.

Though that night promised tomorrow morning will call.

Even the instagram status has been more than 1 week not updated.

Alex was like he was lost to the earth, that night I forgot to ask for his phone number.

I just gave you my number without asking you back, you stupid asshole.

I wanted to ask but I didn't know who to ask, none of his friends I knew.

Suddenly I remembered the immigration bar, not the first time we met there I could ask the officer there, my inner relief.

I immediately called Anggel to accompany me there.

drtt...drttt.I heard the operator saying my inner shit where Anggel didn't pick up the phone.

drt..drt..

"hello" Anggel's voice sounded raucous typical of people just waking up.

"These members accompany me to the immigrant bar now"

"what.you crazy, it's almost dawn and you're taking me to a bar, do what!"

"there's something I want to make sure of"

"it looks like you're not in your right mind, Mer,"

All the bars are closing at this hour, you think what Las Vegas is!

Remember this Jakarta that tomorrow morning people need to go to work

I'm sleepy tomorrow I have to go to work to connect my life, I'm not the son of a millionaire who is rich in seven derivatives".he said at length and then turned off the call.

What.

just look later I send in place of Mr. Yudi just know the taste, grouchy me with annoyance.

*******

morning at the office....

"Good morning ma'am, here's my agenda today" Anggel said

"hem" I answered while pretending to be busy checking the file on the desk.

"mother is sick"

"no, now you can go out"

"but it seems like the mother is not well"

"Stop, I'm fine so you can get out now"

"sorry to see your face looking pale, and there are dark circles under your eyes"

"out!!!I said while yelling at him, I want to stuff his mouth that talks like a train.

"well mom" he answered as he walked out

"don't come in if I don't call you".

I leaned my head in the chair, I breathed violently.

True said Anggel I must be sick.

Sick of hoping for the impossible.

alex's words were too sweet, but he must have been used to doing that, wasn't it his job to make the women put on it, I thought back, I was too hopeful, that I was special in his eyes.

come on you are Almera beautiful woman who has everything you don't need one bastard like her, because you can get dozens of men who adore you.

well tonight I'll have fun until I'm satisfied, so now remove everything about it.

I opened the instagram page on my face I was looking for Alex, without being able to prevent my fingers from opening it.

The initial intention was only to remove our friendship, but it looks like there is a new insta story that he made this morning.

I open and look at the photo view of the sunrise with the caption"i miss u my sunset"the base of the bastard,rutukku directly block his instagram.

How dare he play tricks on me, I'll make him regret later my makings with annoyance.

*********

In London that morning.

"thank you doc, now I have to go back to Jakarta hopefully you are satisfied with our cooperation"

"certainly, if not how can I ask you to add to your work by making advertisements for print and television media as well"

we shook hands before I boarded the plane that brought me home.

the Bandung - Jakarta trip only takes 45 minutes but it feels like hours.

I stared at the screen of my phone wearing wallpaper Almera while wearing a high-scool uniform that I screnshot from Instagram Anggela at that time.I miss u my sunset, whisper me while wiping the picture.

Then I sent him a message

"Almera I miss you, can we meet tonight"

I see a tick mark one unread.

Maybe he's busy, I thought.

I'd better go home in the afternoon I'll call him I think.

But it turned out that afternoon that the message I sent was still unread whether he was angry I thought, just to be angry because after that night I had never contacted him again.

Not because I avoided it but because the filming schedule was so congested that I didn't have time to contact her.

I thought about coming to him tonight and apologized for ignoring him.

at 7pm I was tidy, I meant to stop by the flower shop to buy him flowers first as an apology.

Before leaving back I had my message not been read he thought.

Then I tried to call him but it was not connected, I tried several times still can not, whether he blocked my number I think, sial angry it turned out Almera until my phone number was blocked.

I immediately got my keys and jacket hanging and I immediately drove my motorcycle towards the apartment area.

Until there I tried to ask the security guard who was guarding the lobby, because it was an elite apartment so not just anyone could go straight in.

"sorry who's looking for"

"want to find Almera if it's back"

"oh Miss Almera it looks like the car hasn't returned yet"

damn I thought that if I asked too much the security guard could be suspicious I thought,

I'd better try calling Anggela later.

after that I turned my bike to get out of the building so as not to make the security guard suspect I had bad intentions.

I stopped for a moment trying to find Anggela's number and called her.

drt..drt..

"hello"

"hello Anggela"

"Alex, how are you"

"well, you can't tell me where Almera is"

"Almera may be in her apartment, because she came home from work this afternoon"

"you're sure"

"be sure unless he has another appointment"

deg...

suddenly my chest ached, thinking he was going to meet another man.

but it also did not rule out the possibility that he had never said he liked me and always rejected me and now he even blocked my phone number,right now my feelings are really mixed up I'm like chasing a shadow that will run away if the more I chase, I thought.

"hello Alex you're still there"

"hello, hang on to me for more business, and when do I call you again"

"ok"

I intended to leave there after turning off the phone with Anggel when my phone arrived back to ring, I saw Aldo who called what was my mind, I immediately picked up the call.

"hello Do what's wrong"

"where is now"

"again on the way back home, why"

"you have to come here, the beautiful girl who was here at the time"
