"But why? next month you go up to the position of loh.I just confirmed last night with bigbos, he has opened a new branch that will be held by you, gini aja, deh, he has opened a new branch that will be held by you, How long did it take you to finish college? a month? two months? I'll consider but you don't resign. How's it?"

He tried to persuade. But, the anger that was controlling continued to push me to continue my steps, nothing could stop me I remained in my stance.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but I really can't"

"Well, if that's what you want, but if it's over you should come back here, my hands are open to you. The last charge I will transfer tonight" A little disappointed, he finally agreed.

"Good ma'am, thank you. I said goodbye" I came out of the room, my chest was stuffy, my legs were heavy. There is a sense of disappointment, sadness and regret in my mind, leaving a job that I really like it is also cool friends who always entertain me in times of joy and sorrow.

In front of Evi and the others were already waiting, implied their worried faces, as impatiently wanting to hear the story from me.

"Why you?" Evi looked at me full of curiosity.

"I'm doing fine. Oh yes, tomorrow I go back to Bandung. You take good care of yourself, I will often visit here" I look at their faces one by one.

"Don't resign" One by one of them shed tears, I passed away leaving sadness between them, it felt unable to part with them.

I stepped foot towards the exit, my tears flowing again despite having tried to hold it.

Back I walked to the Vienna contract, the streets were crowded was quiet, so many people passed by but somehow they seemed to walk like the undead, did not make my feelings improve at all.

I saw Dav up ahead, he noticed my unsteady steps, he immediately approached me half-run.

"DON'T EVER DARE TO SHOW YOUR FACE BEFORE ME FROM NOW ON, otherwise I won't meet you again with your son" I took my hand off his, and left him standing where he stood.

Back I shed tears with tightness that disturbs my breathing, it feels like I want to die right now.

I clean my clothes one by one I put them in the suitcase.

I can't wait for tomorrow, I want to go home and embrace the Stars.

"Lu why?" Mas Agum stood at the door, ripping me out of the darkness of my mind.

"Gw wants to drink in order to celebrate the farewell, tomorrow I return to Bandung" I threw a smile at him, trying to look tough in front of him.

"Okay, but why? you tell me, yes, I can help" said Mas Agum.

"Gue is fine mas, yes yuk" I deliberately divert the conversation by inviting him outside, so that he no longer asks about my situation.

Last night I was in the capital, I spent it with a party, playing guitar and burning some corn that Vienna brought from Cafe Taria, said the Vienna SVP deliberately bought it for all employees, who were not involved in the incident, but since no one wanted to cultivate it so he brought it home for us to burn together.

We all stayed up all night, forgetting a moment of sadness while releasing the longing we would feel when far apart later.
