Distance to Heart

P a r t 3

I cried so much beside Mariana who was holding my baby. I was trying to remember what happened ten months ago. The pain and aches hit my chest. Where did I manage to remember that incident.

Maybe because she empathized with Mariana and took my hand. She shed tears and cried with me. I don't know what he's feeling right now? Maybe, because I heard my crying that sounded slashed. Mariana then took the initiative to embrace and try to strengthen me once again.

"Relax Kay, all this can be solved. You are not alone. I'm with you" he said.

Instead of stopping, I was getting sobbing, venting the anger, resentment, and hatred that I had been holding alone like an atomic bomb that was about time to explode. I feel like I am still at the lowest point of my life.

After a few minutes, my crying began to subside and made a burden that had been in the head and I was alone. Finally it can be a little ventilated, although this cry makes the baby who sleeps next to me cry. Perhaps, he was disturbed by the sound of his mother's sobbing or indeed he was thirsty to ask for more.

With a swift Mariana, grab it then, pet, and pat the leg that is wrapped neatly using a square cloth. He then gave the baby to me again, so that I could suckle him immediately. While breastfeeding, I began to tell her the dark events of the night.

The story begins, when my best friend named Windy came on vacation in the village where I was on duty as an intern. Windy plans to come with his friend. They came on Friday night.

My best friend told me that he had booked an inn in the district so that they would not stay at the official house, where I was staying with Mariana. Windy and his friend will stay at the inn for two nights and will return to Jakarta the day after.

Obviously the arrival of Windy made me happy not to be a bitch so there was a reason for me to enjoy a day off that night, even if only going to the sub-district, but somehow I felt happy. Maybe because I'm gonna meet Windy who I haven't seen in six years. After all, it was time for me to introduce the village that I had lived in for two years.

Indeed, the village is quite remote, although not far from the capital, but in this village there is a beautiful beach that is often used as a vacation spot for residents around or outside the village on weekends, so there is lodging for visitors who come from outside the village or other cities who want a vacation to the beach or just around the village. Although it was just an ordinary inn and not a five-star hotel. However, it already helps as a means of tourists outside the city or outside the area enjoy the beauty of the village.

That was Friday night. Windy came along with a man I didn't recognize before. He's even younger than me and Windy. But yes already, it does not matter to me.Toh, we have indeed agreed to meet at a restaurant near the inn.

"Windy!!!" I cried when I saw a girl whose face I could still recognize was looking for a restaurant, where we had made arrangements to meet.

I walked a long way and greeted him. We also let each other off laughing, happy, cipika-cipiki then hugged tightly to release kangen. Understandably it has been five years me and Windy did not meet.Tak forgot Windy also introduced the man who stood next to me. 

"Andra," he said briefly as he thrust out his hand.

"Kanaya," I replied as I grabbed his hand.

After I introduced myself. I invited Windy and Andra to go inside the diner. I then took the initiative to order food for us to eat while we chatted there. The three of us ordered the same menu of fried rice and young coconut kopyor ice as a drink.

"Where are you going, Win?" my many.

"Kebelet wants to go back," he answered while holding his stomach.

Me and Andra compactly nodded. Windy rushed back to the toilet. There was no conversation between me and Andra. If anything, it's just a pleasant talk while waiting for Windy and the food we ordered. Ten minutes passed, Windy came back first. After that, the waiter came with a tray of food and drinks.

While eating, Windy and I engaged in an exciting conversation about nostalgia during our school days, then switched to our daily lives together after Windy and I finished High School and then went to college. And now Windy and I are already working in our respective fields. Meanwhile Andra was more silent and just focused on her phone. He then began to eat fried rice with greed. The man chose not to interfere in the conversation between me and Windy.

After my food and drinks were gone. Now it's my turn to ask Windy for permission to use the toilet. Somehow after eating and drinking I began to feel uncomfortable in my body, the drowsiness began to ambush so I had to go to the toilet to wash my face so that my face could feel fresh again.

"Now ten minutes to the toilet, Kanaya hasn't been back yet, Ndra?" windy asked Andra.

Andra answered with her head. The young man chose to be quiet and silent. I don't know what he's doing. Windy finally took the initiative behind looking for me who was in the toilet.

Upon arriving at the toilet door, Windy knocked on the door and called my name. I knocked and called my name a few times, but there was no answer from the inside. Make Windy take the initiative to call Andra via mobile phone. The young man then took a long step immediately to meet Windy who was still in front of the toilet where I was in it.

"Sorry, please help me for a moment" said Windy who saw a cleaning service cleaning the floor.

"Yes, how can I help you, Ma'am?"

"I can ask my friend to help me in the toilet, but I didn't go out and there was no answer when I knocked on the door,"

"Braaac!"

The cleaning service immediately broke down the toilet door with a strong up to twice. At the same time Andra came. He wanted to help break down, but eventually the toilet door opened wide and looked inside. Turns out I was unconscious sitting on the toilet. The cleaning service then checked my pulse and into my two nostrils.I couldn't move like a fainting person.

That cleaning service wants to take me out. However, Andra immediately offered to carry me out of the toilet.

"Let me carry it,"

Instantly cleaning service and Andra swapped positions and quickly Andra was able to lift and carry my body out of the toilet.

Seriate...
