Failed Escape

30 Minutes after I cried.

I looked at my face in the mirror that was in Saka's den. As I thought, my face looks messy. My eyes and nose were reddened by that great cry. I'm sure this won't be back to normal anytime soon.

"I should just hold it. .." I said.

If this is how Saka would have wondered. I shouldn't have shown her my cry.

"Simplified lady!" curse me.

"Don't curse yourself, Nay."

Saka approached me with a bottle of cold drink, "Here."

I took the drink without looking into his eyes. Now I feel awkward.

"Thank you. Hmm .. about that please forget it."

"What about? what are you crying about or do you curse yourself?" ask her.

"The one crying. You know that I'm not that kind of person?"

I want to dodge.

"Naya, I lost it last night. If you feel something either sad, happy, angry or sick you better be honest. Don't be buried, let alone buried. Just like before, you said sick."

I understand Saka's words but I can't.

"Just forget it, I'm going back."

I forced him without waiting for an answer.

With quick steps I walked out of his stall. But his hand prevented me.

"Where are you? pay first."

I thought he'd give me this drink for free. He's real he's still a bitch.

"Judah how many? sometimes it's free."

"It's free unless you tell me why it's like that I'm free of charge."

No, he's a bitch.

"Son, here's the money. Thanks." Thanks."

I put the money for the drink in front of him. I won't tell her even if this drink is free.

Before I stepped away from her stall, she yelled at me, "Naya don't forget this afternoon!"

Ahhh .. This afternoon? those tv stations, right? means there's him too? I don't want to meet her. It won't!

That was my determination before being forcibly withdrawn by Saka.

That shitty guy picked me up who was hiding in the house. Like a psychic she found me when I tried my best not to make a sound and stay in the closet.

The wall clock in my room shows at 4 pm past 5 minutes. And from 5 minutes ago my phone kept ringing, signaling an incoming call from Saka that I accidentally did not pick up. Then my phone went back quietly, I thought he'd given up.

When my feet were about to step towards the kitchen suddenly the sound of the door was heard. Someone broke into my house and I know who it is. With a hasty step I went back into the room and hid in the closet.

"Naya, I know you're home."

Saka's voice sounded. Can't this guy pretend he doesn't know?

"Get out dong Nay, stuffy loh there," he continued.

I can't, I have to keep pretending I'm not here. He must have just fished me. Though I already said via Whatsapp if today can not, why is he still insistent too?

"Naya ... We stay here first huh? "

"I'm guessing you're here, let's get out."

And her face disappeared when the door of this closet was opened by Saka.

"Come, they're waiting."

Without hesitation Saka reached out her hand before me. I think back to the past moment, Saka's position now was once also done by the man. In front of that man I never once doubted.

"Come, Radi!"

"I don't think I can, Saka."

I didn't answer his hand.

"Why?"

"Aa .. fights. I think my stomach mules so I don't think I can deh Saka."

I have no answer but to lie that looks so stiff.

"Don't act, Nay. Why hide in the closet? why not just go to the bathroom? next time if you want to lie in mind first, already spit out."

Saka's ugly face appeared, he couldn't believe my reason and my ashamed face couldn't be hidden. Please anyone take me away from the face of this bitch!

10 Minutes after that, here I am. At the village hall with Saka were also the people of the TV station including the man.

"So as I said just now for the tour guide you will be led by Naya who will introduce this village to you. I hope you enjoy the tour guide for the next 3 days. That's all from me, so and thank you."

Saka finished his speech. While I just bowed quietly, did not dare to hold my head because the one sitting in front of me was the ex that I hated.

From the beginning I sat down the man chose a place right in front of me even though many places were empty and much more ademic than around where I was sitting. Do you know if the sun is hot that afternoon?

"may ... Nayaa."

Saka's whisper was heard. By reflex I turned to the right because it was also our face to be close.

"What?"

"What the hell is Nay? now it's your turn to speak" he whispered again.

"Sorry, forget Saka," I reply.

"Before the short tour in the afternoon we start, introduce me Na Laya you can call Naya and I am 25 years old. For the next 3 days I beg you to work together."

After all this time I mention it again. The last time I said those words was probably .. the last time I worked as an office slave. A slave? it might be a bit outrageous to hear but the facts are.

"Oh okay, let's introduce one-on-one first before leaving. Who knows if we might be more familiar, right? if the saying says do not know then do not love so let's introduce yourself who knows we can love each other!"

Among the awkwardness I made, Saka was like an angel who made the atmosphere become liquid again. If there is an award in the village about personal fun it is definitely Saka the winner.

One by one they introduced themselves, including the man in front of me.

"I am Raditya Putra usually called Son. But I'd rather be called Radi by someone."

My eyes moved towards her as she said the last sentence. I found him staring at me too. Why is he staring at me?

"Witih, who is it sir?"

"Surely a special person, right, sir?"

"Ehh, the Son has a special person?"

"You know we dong sir."

And other commenters started to add up, some of them teasing this man. But this man did not answer or budge in the slightest. He just kept quiet and looked at me.

He was on purpose, right?!
