The Universe Always Knows When to Work

Menjana

Nada Sumbang had just finished shooting for their first music video single which they released one week ago, when it suddenly rained heavily. Lucky shooting that has started since after dawn, has been completed according to the target. Vika who plays the manager of Nada Sumbang directly asked them to the car to return at the hotel. The rest of the crew packed the items used during the shoot.

The son who felt his body tired chose to close his eyes during the trip. Since their first single was released and received good reception from the public, a lot of gig offers both on air and off air. While in Bandung, they still had time to receive an offer off the water on the sidelines of shooting video music. Not to mention the promo single which is quite draining. Plus the problem with Kanya who did not also find the tip of the base because it was too old.

When Putra decided to close his eyes, others were busy throwing jokes at each other and occasionally commenting on whatever they saw. Starting fashion to Bandung girls who play rain while riding a motorcycle and do not choose to stop for a moment. Although the eyes of the Son were closed, he could hear all the chatter of the members of Nada Sumbang. Including when Arlan shouted that caused his consciousness to recover instantly.

"Him! That's really Kanya's, isn't it?"

Hearing Arlan's cry, the Son's reflexes looked for the figure designated by the keyboardist Nada Sumbang. Sure enough, the Son saw Kanya's thin body shivering from the rain.

"Sir, stop. That's my friend!" pinta Putra on the driver who drove them while in Bandung since three days ago.

"Eh Son..."

Before Vika could protest, the man had already got out of the car and got into the rain. He approached Kanya who was still fixated on staring at the house that did not belong to anyone on Jalan Tamansari. For a moment their gazes met. The woman was crying. His tears mixed with the rain that increasingly flushed the earth. He was silent and did not refuse when the Son led his body into the car.

The Son suddenly perished. If you decide to leave, at least you should be happy with your choice, Kanya. How can I stop caring like this?

The atmosphere of the car that was originally boisterous, suddenly quiet as Kanya sat beside the Son. Especially when you know Kanya's face that can't be hidden. Although Arlan was itching to say hello to the ex-boyfriend of the Son who caused the man to become pregnant for years. Because that's how Arlan is, at least be quiet.

While in the front seat, Vika stared dislikely when she saw the artist she was responsible for doing so. Whatever happens to Nada Sumbang, he is the first person that will be called by the management. Especially if there is a scandal at the beginning of their career. So Vika is the first person to be responsible for not being able to take care of the artist.

"Sori, I promise not to make a fuss or bother you. He's an important person to me" said Putra when he noticed Vika's cynical glare. The woman who was three years younger than the Son, simply turned her eyes away. Observe the rain that falls soaking the windows.

"Gue was sure that he was actually jealous" whispered Arlan in the Son's ear, which of course ended in a sharp shot of the man's eyes.

"No need to bother talking."

"Sori, I took care of you" Kanya said for a moment when she realized that Putra was with members of Nada Sumbang and two other people she did not know. Kanya occasionally glances towards the passenger seat next to the driver.

"Look easy. I like to play in the rain. It's big too," Arlan's goda provoked Kanya's smile even though it was faint. "Eh, get to know him Vika, Nada Sumbang's manager. Mumpung we are not so famous, want to ask for a signature first do not lo?"

"It doesn't need to be bathed so it doesn't explode in heat. Waiting for you to have an album. Let me all be fangirling" Kanya said after meeting Vika. "Oh yes, the rain seems to erase memories, too" added Kanya, making Putra urung draped a jacket to cover Kanya's body. I don't know why the Son felt struck by the woman's sentence.

The man handed the jacket to Kanya and asked her to wear it herself so as not to get cold. Because Kanya's body is getting shivering and Putra knows, the woman is at least comfortable with the cold even though she likes it.

"Sa ae lo, Her. Not the rain and the memories of the fall together huh? Btw, long time no see, more beautiful lo." Arlan was still flirting with Kanya.

"Oh yeah? Thank you, no loss of my treatment all this time," said Kanya began to narcissize. A sign that he is getting comfortable with the situation around.

Secretly the Son smiled with relief. He was grateful there was Arlan who was able to warm the atmosphere. The son was sure, if he was only alone with Kanya in this car, the woman would definitely not soon find her smile.

"Btw, thank you Nggit, have found out my address to Audya. Thanks to you, I often get unexpected deliveries."

"Together, Mya," Anggit replies for not knowing how to respond to Kanya's insinuations. He died lice facing Kanya who is good at playing words. Alfian and Danu who saw Anggit's expression could not hide their laughter.

"Kan, what I said, be careful when dealing with Kanya. This even casually addresses the pretentious lion," said Arlan among the laughter. "Tuh, look at yourself, he can't help you if it's already in position like this."

His smile grew wider. Make the Son's heart feel the warmth even though he became the material of his friends' innuendo. The man was willing as long as Kanya returned smiling as before. For his mind is tormented when he sees the cloud in Kanya's face.

"My parents are the same, I swear. How many years have we not seen each other?"

"A century, don't you feel it?" arlan's sharp comments were only met with a smile by Kanya. Even the woman laughed loudly. No longer bear sad as at the beginning of the meeting.

"Congratulations, Ar. Your attention is the same me, until a century did not meet you still remember too. Btw, congratulations on your first single. I've been horrified, it's still pure." Kanya's comments, again make Putra feel insinuated.

"Himself also can't move on that."

"Eh, I'm single because of Ar's choice, not a curse."

"Oh, so all this time you've been ngutuk the bucin let alone a lifetime?" Alfian also commented and held back a laugh when he saw the expression on the Son's face. The man looked misbehaved even though he was trying to hide it.

"Maybe, well it doesn't have to be a lifetime either."

Truly, the Son who was shunned openly by Kanya, Arlan, and the other members of Nada Sumbang, was only able to fall silent. No comment came from his lips. Until Kanya asks the question addressed to him in the soft voice that the Son used to hear. It was no longer the snaps or cynical tones he had been used to hearing for the past two years.

"Where, the vocalist won't give you any clarification?" asked Kanya in a voice as beautiful as the wind chimes in the eardrums of the Son. The man even pinched the back of his hand to ascertain whether what had just happened was real or just a dream. "Not to overdo it this time. I'm not the one who doesn't know how to thank you."

"Gue has not found a new muse figure," commented Putra making other members of Nada Sumbang could not help but laugh.

"Muse? I said designer." Arlan's nosy mouth won't stop commenting.

"Well, what is the right thing to try, let me just think of him making a song."

"My life is finally. Jesus," said Danu when he heard the Son's confession. For it was before Danu that the Son often denied his feelings. Now, Putra is stuck with all her booing who clearly still expects Kanya to be more than a half-sister.

"Thank you for the vocalist's confession. I'm tired. We are at peace yuk. The problems I face will not be endless as long as God still loves me the chance to live. Belom again the addition of your problem that has been so rusty for so long."

Not only Putra was surprised to hear Kanya's statement, but all members of Nada Sumbang who were in the van. How they bear witness to the romantic story of two teenagers who ended up due to the marriage of their parents. How it destroyed each other when unable to face such a torturous destiny. Kanya decides to make peace with her pain when away from home. Far from where he's been hiding all this time. With so much ease.

"Where? There are many witnesses."

The son is at a loss for words. This moment was so anticipated a long time ago, but why was his tongue now twisted when Kanya invited him to reconcile? It was as if the woman had not really been willing to accept her apology for so many years. However, those eyes looked sincere. Does not imply anything other than an unmade request.

Could the universe be at work uniting two hearts that are hostile to each other? No, the Son never antagonized Kanya. The man was always sincerely waiting for his stepbrother to accept his apology. Although sometimes he is impatient and wants everything to end quickly. But maybe it's true, the universe is contributing this time. That's why it rained right when Nada Sumbang finished shooting. That they may be found in the most foreign places.
