Lisa POVS.
The sky was so bright, even the morning sun had managed to pass unnoticed. I was still under the blanket. Until my alarm clock sounds.
Krrriiiiiie!!!
I woke up with a crumbling body. It's like running out of military training that's really draining. While gouging my eyes many times, one of my hands touched the bed beside me, empty! Soon I widened my eyes and found my side empty, no one, I mean no Max.
Spontaneously I jumped up to sit down, spreading my gaze who knew Max was in the bathroom. I quickly stood towards the bathroom and found an empty condition there. Clutching my open pajamas, I immediately opened the room door, looking out. Maybe he woke up early and smoked? Yeah, maybe he's smoking in the backyard.
In a hurry I immediately ran to open the back door, nil. I also ran to open my parents' second room first, who knew he was using the bathroom so as not to be noisy and also not to wake me, real remains the same, he was not there either. Suddenly, my phone rang out loud from the bedroom.
🎶
Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you
🎶
Aku bergegas, berlari ke kamarku untuk meraih benda kecil ajaib yang harga mencapai jutaan rupiah itu. Berharap yang menghubungiku adalah orang yang aku cari-cari. Tapi begitu aku berhasil menyambar benda mahal itu, betapa kecewanya aku. Bukan Max yang menelpon, melainkan pamanku, om Reza.
He said he was on his way to my house. For in two days I will leave, so he wants to deliver a plane ticket and a large suitcase he has. So I can bring more stuff. And the rest he'll send after I get a flat there.
"Later let the rest be sent, you bring the important first. Om also connected the family of your mother there. While you stay with them." That's what Reza said.
After Reza's departure, I immediately cleaned up my clothes and all kinds of needs to be there later. I spent the whole day doing this activity. Choosing which items I will bring first and which items will be sent later. All I have separated and I prepare, even the items that will be sent I have also packed in several boxes.
My mind was floating everywhere. Especially the one last night that made me feel so hooked. The vibration I felt all over my body was so relaxing. Moreover, so feel the touch that occurs due to a warm tongue. I closed my eyes for a moment, raised my head, trying to focus on imagining the movements I made last night.
I decided to move into bed and break myself down. Closing my eyes while stroking my own body. Trying to find a taste similar to last night's activities.

Another day passed. Tomorrow night I have to get out of town. Not only did he leave this city but he also left behind all the memories. Including leaving the Tika family. Yes, the family who always helped me or even before I was there, they already helped my parents first.
With a shunt step I walked towards the bathroom to immediately clean myself up. Today, I am going to British Embassy to meet some of the other people who are receiving scholarships to London. Although there were a few people who were different from my university at least, I attended the event to get to know them. Who knows when I met them there. Or even be friends with them.
Using my father's car, I darted away to my destination. Arriving there was not much I did but follow the rules that had been conveyed by one of the workers who took care of our arrival from the beginning. Yes, we, not just me, but many other prospective students who get this golden opportunity. I just didn't think I could get it. Maybe if not like this way, om Reza will still send me there, because there are some families of mothers who settled.
Finished my business at Embassy's office, I decided to pay a visit to Tika's house. I haven't seen him in a long time, say goodbye. But what I thought was not as easy as it happened. Right on the fence of his house I stopped the car. Staring bitterly at the towering iron fence fortifying the house.
At first glance, I remember what happened two nights ago. My loitering with a man who is none other than the older brother of my own best friend. Sometimes I miss it the last few days, but sometimes I regret it all. Because that's what makes me think again if I have to set foot in the house that is now in front of me.
Even though I was enjoying all the games that happened, but somehow, Max suddenly stopped everything. He would rather hold me and leave me without saying anything. There was a bit of gratitude actually, before we did anything crazier.
I was struck by the sound of a knock on my car window. And worse, when I turned my head, the one who knocked on the glass was none other than the man who had passed through my brain. Makes my heart double faster than before. Before finally opening the window glass, with lightning fast I took a lot of breath and exhaled slowly while smiling at him when the window glass was wide open.
"Remain here? Not in?"
"Em, ta-di balesin wasp first," I said twitching as I pointed at my phone lying on the seat next to me.
"Oh, yeah, come on in. Do you want me to bring the car?" he opened the door of my car. I quickly answered, "It's ok, I just. It can be." My words made him pause for a moment while looking at me, then he closed the car door that had been opened by him and smiled.
I just returned with a faint smile, then turned the car back on and entered his yard. While he walked in the back. Every now and then I glance at him through the rearview mirror of the car, he looks at me with his sharp eyes. Before getting out of the car, I took a few breaths and exhaled, repeating it many times. Just to calm the heart. Because that's what Tika taught me when I was always nervous and it worked.
I slowly got down the car and walked towards the front door while waiting for Max, who was only a few steps away, to get to the front door. And without saying anything he opened the door for me and walked behind me.
"Okay, this aunt ..," cried her mother to me, I smiled as I hugged her. "A long time no longer here. Auntie Kangen, how are you?"
"Okay, Auntie" I said as I sat beside her in the living room. However, Aunt Ida instead threw her face and looked at Max, telling him to immediately call Tika.
"No need, Auntie. Let me go up alone to her room" I said before Max continued his steps and smiled back at Aunt Ida.
"Oh yeah, that's it."
I walked slowly up the stairs after making it past the silent Max in his position even I did not dare to look at him.
"What time is the plane tomorrow?" tika asked that afternoon just came out of her bathroom, after I entered her unlocked room.
I told him my plane left at twelve in the morning or at midnight. Tika offered to take me and I agreed.
There wasn't much we did until dinner. I went to dinner with them thanks to the insistence of Aunt Ida who I could not afford to refuse. When all that happened, I tried to control my feelings once again, because sitting down and staring at a Max was my weakness right now.
My intention of wanting to forget everything that happened to us seems like I should try again after this. For seeing her treatment that was too casual and disregarding my current existence was so heart-wrenching. Until I had to think like this.

Another day passed ...
Today is my last day in town. This morning I woke up so quickly. Even when the clock is still showing at 6 am, I am ready and neat by using casual clothes. The plan, this morning I want to circle this city alone. Just get some fresh air and breakfast.
However, when I was about to stop at a mini market, from a distance I saw someone I knew. From his car even to his back I know. I pulled out my car and waited for the man to turn around to get into his car. For as I see it now, it is as if he is waiting for someone.
My heart immediately beat, waiting for the truth from my guess. Suddenly a woman came out of the mini market, then casually kissed both cheeks of the man. End with a brief kiss on each lip. As soon as the man turned around .. Suddenly my heart was crushed to see his face which I recognized as Max!
My breathing stopped for a few seconds until they got into the car, then drove away from the place.
As for my eyes, suddenly dripping tears of sadness as well as regret had wrongly given heart to a land crocodile man!
