Cracked Pearls

Did I?

“TIARA!”

I heard that sound quite tight in the ears.

My eyes opened slowly, trying to adjust the light that penetrated through them. A shadowy figure was seen in the dimness of my vision. I rubbed my eyes, and ....

“Tante, what's up?” my question feels weird. Why did Aunt Maria come to my room like a panicked person?

Until Om Krishna's voice follows loudly asking, “Tiara! What happened to you, son?!”

I took a shock as I got up, and ....

Something is strange!

I lowered my head down and found my body was not dressed.

Yeah, God! What the hell happened to me?!

The slumped blanket I raise the throttle to the neck. Like being shocked by electricity, I looked around.

The situation ... This is not my room! Switch to a wall clock hanging on one side of the room, pointing at the number 12.25. From the balcony, behind the closed glass door, it was still very dark. I'm getting surprised ... Lord ... It's midnight. And I ... Where am I?

“Tante, what happened to me, Auntie?!” I screamed later.

“Halah! Your plainest shirt! Pake pretend!” Chelsea who do not know when has come in spraying loudly. “Say who has slept with you in this hotel room?!”

What say?

Hotel room?

I'm getting confused.

I stared at the girl with tears and fear that blended into one. “What do you mean, Chelsea?”

“Gak us-”

“Chelsea diem!" Aunty Maria slumped hard, silencing at once the noisy mouth of Chelsea. The middle-aged woman looked at me for a moment with tears in her eyes, then pulled me into her arms. “Ya, Lord.” He roars. My hair was squeezed out as if it was spilling all of its flavor there.

For now I still do not understand, what happened to me actually. My memory is like dark blocked.

But my heart felt a great pain, as if something really bad had happened. Plus Chelsea's frontal speech just a moment ago, also ..my body, my clothes! Why can I go to bed?!

I saw Om Krishna closing the door without closing it, after a short conversation with someone from the outside. He then approached me, stood beside Aunt Maria, then asked, “Tiara, do you really not remember what happened to you?”

I looked into the man's eyes after taking my head up, pulled away from the arms of Aunt Mary, and then lowered my face to a deep sense of shame.

I force my memory to work. I need to know what happened to me actually.

Until ....

“I know who slept with him!”

The news suddenly attracted all the surprised views leading up to him. A girl dressed up glamour just came in.

“Samantha,” my murmur is barely audible. And .... “Primanda.” The guy followed behind her. I lowered my face again. Too embarrassed by the situation.

I really feel like a la.cur with no honor. And that might be true.

“Tha ..” Chelsea voice open, “You mean?”

Aunt Maria asked impatiently, “What do you mean, if you know?”

“Can explain to us?” Om Krishna was curious.

I dare not raise my head. Samantha's voice began to sound.

“So still early in the show I saw the girl with the same guy. I think he's drunk. He was pushed into the elevator. Out of curiosity, I followed ... it turns out that he was the same guy who went into this room.”

I'm glaring in shock. Looking towards Samantha's face which explained in a stirring manner.

“Why don't you intercept them, Samantha?” Chelsea groaned as she moved closer to her best friend. “Because of his behavior he's already shy bokap me! My family!”

“Enough!” Aunt Maria attacked hard. “Go to you!”

Om Krishna calms him down with a gentle swipe on his shoulder. While I was, my chest started to explode. My sobs are getting deeper covering the taste.

“Excuse me, Om, Aunt." The flight attendant pulled Samantha's hand to leave this room as soon as possible. I don't know what that guy's view is about me right now.

“Muna girl, lo!” Chelsea pointed her finger at me, her face growling red. “Now soon everyone will know your stupid behavior which will drag the good name of my same family as well!"

“Chelsea!” About Krishna rebuking. “Jaga your talk!”

No other words have been heard, Chelsea is more passed from the room while jerking loudly, “You always aja belain him!” Following a loud slam at the closed door.

“Chelsea!" Aunty Maria called out which of course would never be blessed by the princess only wayangnya.

“Tiara, you wear your clothes, son. We'll talk about this later. Now we go home.”

Aunt Maria gave a nod approvingly.

“Om out first.” A moment Om Krisa stroked my head before it completely passed leaving us.

 

Along the way in the car, none of us made a sound. Out of the hotel, a man who worked on the magnificent building, led us through another road, avoiding the birthday of Rossa which still looks crowded on the face.

Om Krishna drives his own car, without Mr. Bowo.

With a gloomy face staring at the street in front, I caught it from the rearview mirror hanging in the middle of his head.

I threw my face into the street next to the glass that was being eroded away distance by distance. My mind floated back to dig into what happened to me actually.

Up to the time to so many. Memories from the start I came to the party, sat in the chair alone, in greeting Algi, chatting also sipped the drink he gave, then ....

I was surprised later. My eyes wide ball imagining the seconds when my head started to hurt, until Algi carried me into the hotel room.

My heart beat fast at once.

Algis!

That guy ...?

He's the one who took me into the hotel room, then ....

I started to remember everything.

In front of me, he opened the suit and threw the shirt he was wearing and then restrained me. But ....

He didn't touch me at the time. Someone dragged him out after a moment they appeared to be feuding.

Some time after that ....

My heart hurts more and more to imagine it. I shut my mouth holding back the cry that wanted to explode actually. But I don't want to put more burden on Aunt Maria and Om Krishna who are currently silent and may dissolve in their minds.

The shadow of the last parts I passed in that room, now hit the chest tightness.

Someone is coming back! And I .. I felt something more and more tempestuous in me as that person approached and touched me.

Lordy!

Is he Algi? Or someone else?

Have I really been stained and torn?

Is my destiny in the end just to end up like this?

Father ....

This time I couldn't hold back the sobbing that went through the esophagus.

“Tiara!”
