Doctor Steven's Charm

08 - Lost

Rimba recklessly boarded a trans bus without purpose after previously to the place of Ellena's boarding houses, but his best friend was returning to his parents' house in Tangerang.

The girl sat in the back seat, facing the backpack that was stored in front of her, staring out the window. His heart suddenly beat fast, he often felt like this if there was a problem, even when there was no problem sometimes like that. Suddenly want to cry, sometimes feel happy when there is nothing that makes him want to cry or laugh happily. The jungle feels there is an inner bond with someone out there. I don't know, maybe it's just his feelings.

Back to the reality of life he now faces. Whatever happens, it has to be dealt with. But where should he go now? cheap lodging? whereabouts? he doesn't even have a clear purpose.

"Maybe in the travel application there is a promo," heed Rimba while opening the old phone belonging to Galang which he loaned yesterday. "Sister Galang, 25 missed calls?" he murmured when he realized there was a call from his brother.

Just now Rimba wanted to type a message on him, Galang called again. Rimba did not rush to lift it. He took a deep breath, normalizing his voice that was definitely shaking in the face of Galang's scolding.

"Yes K---"

'Where are you? hurry home!' attack Galang without giving Rimba a chance to talk.

"I don't want to, Brother!" rejecting Rimba, her lips began to tremble like they were about to cry. "I don't want to get married! if you guys keep maksa I'd better go!" threaten her.

'You realize what you've done?' galang's voice sounded angry mixed with annoyance.

"I realized that's why I chose to leave instead of having to marry that person" said Rimba.

'Where now? let brother pick you up, ' asked Galang.

"I don't want to!"

'Tell me brother, where? dikostan Ellena?' this time, Galang sounded to her.

"No!"

'Where?'

"On the bus" Rimba said honestly.

'Where are you going?'

"No idea!"

'Don't you know? Now get off at the nearest stop, I'm after!' galang's orders are undeniable.

"I'll call my sister again if you're at your destination,"

'Where to go? Rim! let's say brother!' urged Galang.

"I don't want to tell you! unless you cancel the wedding plans. Point." said Rimba trying to end the conversation.

'I'll find you, Rim! get off at the stop and wait for me to come!' the word Galang is very firm.

"But brother, I must car---"

'Share location! I need to talk to you!' cut Steven snatch Galang's phone across there.

Rimba was shocked to hear Steven's voice. Reflex he turned off his phone.

"Kok he answered anyway? pake messing with shareloc anyway?" hiss Rimba grunting.

Rimba shuffled his head. For a moment he was worried, he did not have to listen to everything they ordered, right?

The rain fell, very in accordance with the mood of the Jungle that was messy. At the next stop, Rimba sent his location to his sister's phone. Somehow he just complied when Steven asked him to come down and wait. It was hard for him to carry his heavy backpack. Take a moment in the store because the rain is getting heavier.

"Lho! My money?!"

Rimba was rummaging through the contents of his little bag. Just realized there was something missing from inside when entering his phone earlier. Surely the remaining monthly cash from his brother fell when he took his phone on the bus earlier. Without a second thought, Rimba kept his backpack carelessly and ran after the bus that had just left the bus stop, hoping he could get his money back.

Soon Rimba fell, the girl returned to her place to get off the bus. To where he left his backpack at the store. It felt like Rimba wanted to crash himself into a car that passed by when he realized that in the store's emperor there, his backpack had disappeared. All the joints in his legs seemed to disappear suddenly, and Rimba could only cry bitterly, apparently in the rain.

"Am I dead? inside is my laptop.." hiss Rimba almost lost his mind. as if he wanted to roar in reality, cursing everything he experienced lately. Who will he take responsibility for this time?

The rain flushed more and more, as if not concerned with the difficulty of the jungle. According to the people around there, the jungle bag was brought by someone who had taken shelter in the store's headquarters, but they were also not sure.

"My apes today," Isak Rimba felt really not strong anymore to face his problems.

Rimba is still pretty lucky. Just as he felt like giving up, a familiar red car stopped by the side of the sidewalk. A handsome man came out from inside, carrying a large umbrella and walked towards the Jungle.

"Something wrong?" steven asked briefly, avoiding people's gazes from curious stops, or gasping at his good looks.

Rimba did not answer. He actually pulled the two lapels of the suit that Steven was wearing, gripping it tightly, while still sobbing, he said, sometimes high strident so angry Rimba on bitter life that he must experience especially since he met and associated with Steven. "Happy Lo?!" his yell. Success became the center of attention of people around there and feel pity because they think the jungle has been abandoned

"We're everyone's concern, your way of crying is terrible, and this," Steven took off the grip of the jungle, "you're always like this to me, rough and bar-bar" he murmured as cold as rainwater.

Rimba did not reply, both of his shoulders shook violently, proof that he was actually as strong as possible to hold his cry, but failed. His body was soaked in rain water, his eyes were reddened by crying.

"Come on!" Steven pulled Rimba's wrist just like that, but Rimba still stayed.

"Where do I want to go?" Isak Rimba stared fixedly at the man in front of him.

"Aren't you ashamed of so many people?" steven's jolt couldn't help but stifle his frustration.

Rimba flicked her hand, making her slip out of Steven's grasp.

"We can talk in the car, don't cry on the side of the road gini!" persuade Steven to slow down his tone, then again reach for Rimba's hand.

"Why? You ashamed to see me like this?" sentak Rimba. Now Rimba began to speak informally to the lecturer.

"You are ashamed of yourself!" the man still looked cold.

"Lo is no better than me! stop pompously judging all my pain with Lo's innocent face!" peekik Rimba increasingly blind.

The people who saw the scene of the drama looked at Rimba who was still crying with a look of pity. But also nagging him.

"I'm so tacky in a public place. The girl is also stupid nolak a guy as handsome as him, it's also good nyusulin use an umbrella."

"Truly, a guy as cool as him rarely defends a girl like this rain."

"Udah Mas, just stay if he does not want to mah!"

The situation turned into siding with Steven, Rimba even became a gossip material.

"You get in the car or here with people's judgment?" muttered Steven finally took off Rimba's wrist by himself.

Rimba fell silent, only this time he saw the look of angry eyes that were so strong from Steven's eyes. Not having a more profitable choice, finally Rimba walked into Steven's car, without a significant fight.

Steven slammed the car door pretty hard, without saying anything. The body is also wet with rainwater, but warm enough to be removed and given to the jungle, again in silent mode. Until the car drove long enough on the road, they did not reprimand each other or start a conversation.
