Hope Is You's

Thirty Eight's

Atika went down the stairs and then walked to the kitchen where the mother was brewing tea for the father, he then pulled a chair in front of the dining table and applied jam on the bread after sitting his buttocks, he then pulled up the table, finishing breakfast in silence even though in front of him was Dad and Alana who were talking enthusiastically about her National exam that had been completed and the announcement of her graduation a week later.

Already entering the sixth month after the news of the resignation of Faiz, and until now he had still not heard any news from the man, now he had resigned and gave everything to God, he said, he tried to remain calm and reassured if the reason Faiz did not contact him until this moment was not because he wanted to leave or end their relationship, but one or several things that Atika had not yet known.

Although trying to keep acting as usual, but his attitude that became more quiet and not serious usually made Dad and Mom worried and started thinking badly of Faiz.

Atika did not tell anything about Faiz to his family, every mother asked why Faiz rarely stopped by, Atika only replied that the man was busy with his work.

And today is the third day which is the last day of the assessment of his position, after breakfast he took the Tote bag that he had put on the living room sofa, he said, then return to the dining room to say goodbye to her parents.

"Faiz is busy? Anter's dad huh?" Ask Dad as they walk out onto the porch.

"Ga do well, beware the online object of my order until really. Dad just rest, the doctor says you can't do heavy activities first right?" Reject Atika who is the father just recovered from his gout that relapsed a few days ago.

"Then tell Faiz, go home from work and ask him to come home and tell him to stop by the house, because whatever busy he is if indeed you are his priority will certainly take the time even if only take you home safely."

Degg

Atika was silent, 'how would you ask her to come home I yah, meet or even reply to aja chat already never' murmured Atika in the heart.

"Nghh, can't be Well, Faiz has no duty out of the area so now he's no longer in Makassar." Atika looked down pretending to tidy up her shoes for hiding her face and biting her lower lip for lying.

"Well, since when? How did you never say? Or at least saying goodbye to us, like Ian first if you want to get out of town must stop by first for the same part of Mom and Dad." Mother who walked from the direction of the middle room immediately chimed in.

"Kok so the appeal-bangingin Faiz same Ian anyway Bu? Faiz is the same Ian is a different person, why should I be associated with Ian?" Atika directly passed out through the fence to coincide with her order ojol arrived

He Unknowingly raised his tone when he heard Mom say Ian's name, the Mother was shocked.

"You too, why talk about Ian?" Father sighed then embraced the wife and entered the house.

...***...

The clock on her left wrist showed at 16:15, Atika walked down the stairs and turned towards the glass door in the office lobby.

He intended to stop by the office cafeteria to buy a drink because his throat was felt dry after the presentation a few minutes ago.

Atika sat in a long chair near the entrance of the cafeteria after her ordered drink was in her hand while her left hand fiddled with her phone, intending to order an ojek online to return home immediately, until the baritone voice of a man interrupts his activities.

"Would you like to go home Tik?"

Atika raised her head to see who the owner of the voice was.

"Yes, sir, this is just going to be an ojol message." Atika smiled for a moment at Dion then continued the activity in his left hand.

"Bareng aja yuk?"

Atika stopped her finger and looked back at Dion.

"All right sir, we're not in the same direction, even the direction of my house and Mr. Dion's house opposite direction."

Atika thought for a moment, then agreed to the invitation of the boss who is also a close friend of his lover, 'fun, save costs' inner Atika.

They also walked in tandem to the parking lot where silver cars like Faiz used to drive while still serving as a supervisor.

Dion started the car engine and drove it out of the office area, but only about 100M Dion pulled out of his car.

"Wait here for a second, yeah! Someone's missing." Dion then got out of the car and walked away from Atika and the silver car.

While waiting for Dion to return, Atika rested her head on the back of the car seat and closed her eyes, there was a slight drowsiness that he felt until he did not realize the car door at the wheel was open and someone entered and drove the car away from where the car was pulled over earlier.

Ringing the phone in her Tote bag woke Atika from her sleep, she reached into the pink bag and shifted the logo of the green call.

"Yes, Dad?"

"Home home?" Ask me from across.

"Yes, this is already on the way home ushered with the superior of Atika."

"So, be careful on the road, son!"

"Yes, Dad." Atika turned off the phone connection and put the flat object back in her bag.

"Sir Dion why don't you wake up say..." Just wanted to ask but Atika's speech was cut off when she saw the person behind the wheel was not Dion but someone with all-black clothes ranging from hats, masks, jackets and pants.

"Aarrgggh.... Whoareyou? Why are you in this car?" Atika instead continued with a scream, the girl's entire body was trembling with fear.

A moment later Atika lifted the bag in her hand and then slapped it on the shoulder of the man beside her.

"Stop! Stop the car, I'm going down!" Atika continued to scream while her hand was still beating the man.

"Aawww... Pain, baby stop, pain!"

Hearing the man call her 'honey' makes Atika's hand hang in the air by still holding her Tote bag.

The man pulled over the car he was driving, after the car stopped well, he quickly opened the hat and mask that had covered his face.

"It's me!"

Atika dropped her hand, her whole body suddenly seemed powerless when she saw the man who had been missing for half a year, the man she missed, the man she looked forward to every second.

"Faiz?"
