Uneasily. Anita alternated between sleeping on the sofa, sitting dumbstruck and walking back and forth in her spacious room.
Checking his cell phone in his hand. No answer messages from people who are expected, even hundreds of messages sent over the past few days have never received an answer. His phone is also inactive. The woman breathed deeply.
"Where are you, Ben?" Anita's eyes glare.
His body leaned against the sofa. The figure of the man selenge'an so very much missed him.
His fingers moved around fiddling with his phone.
Look around for phone numbers that might give him information. Jack, manager of The Rebellion who on the eve of a concert in New York, Anita requested her contact as an emergency contact if Ben could not be reached. It turned out that keeping the manager's phone number was the right decision.
"Hallo?" A man across there.
Anita berdehem. "Yes, Jack? It's Anita Wallis."
"Owh .. Miss Wallis, how can I help you?" Jack, the manager of The Rebellion, asked.
"I can't call Ben for days, do you know where he is?" ask Anita.
"Last he said he didn't want to be bullied before the tour, I don't know where he is now,
it just disappeared, "Sounds Jack chuckling.
Anita closed her eyes. Then take a deep breath.
"Maybe tomorrow he's back, his tour will start three days from now" Jack continued.
"Okay, thanks Jack." Anita hung up on me.
Anita smiled a little. The shadow of Ben's face danced in his mind. The beautiful memories of his past with his ex-girlfriend began to appear one-on-one without permission. Anita felt like she was falling back in love with the flamboyant guitarist.
"I miss you, Ben," he said softly.

PHILLY CHEESECAKE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, PHILADELPHIA.
"You're sure Larry won't fire me?" Laras sipped a can of his coke. "Wow .. philly cheese cake!" laras exclaimed as soon as a servant presented the folds of bread and cheese meat on the table.
"Yakin," Ben replied as he plucked part of the sandwich.
Laras squinted his eyes. Looking uncertain at the man in front of him.
"Maybe he'll just cut your pay" Ben said, biting off a slice of his sandwich. Without looking at Laras who immediately swung his lips.
Ben looked up at the funny face of Laras who was half-swept.
"I was kidding," he later said.
Barrel shook his hand. Think of Ben's words as the wind. Then wriggle back with the folds of his bread.
"Hey Ben, as far as I know New York and Philadelphia are not too far away, why are we up to these days, if indeed your final destination is this city?" ask Laras, just realized.
Laras' cheeks are bloating. It feels like being lied to by a taxi driver who takes you in circles when your destination is very close.
"I'm sorry, Laras" Ben said on the sidelines.
"Okay!" sahut Laras. Then bite the sandwich while throwing a glance towards the highway.
"We're going back to New York tonight" Ben said. Laras turned his gaze towards the man before him.
"Oh great" said Solas. There was a slight tingling feeling squeezing his chest. This togetherness is coming to an end, her mind.
He saw Ben sighing slowly. Sipping the coke, then putting his arm on the table. He looked at Laras carefully.
"So .. What do you think of you and me?" tanya Ben made Laras gasp. "About his road trip, I mean," Ben said. His head that didn't itch at all.
"Huh?" Laras put on his confused look. "Ouh .it was fun, yeah, fun,"
timpal Laras.
Ben smiled bitterly. The atmosphere became awkward. Laras also seemed to occasionally justify the location of his seat. A sign that the girl is nervous.
"When will your tour begin?"
"I'll start the tour in two days."
The two chuckled, they said sentences simultaneously.
"Okay" said Laras, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"A full month I'm going around big cities in the US."
"Great," Solas said.
"I'm definitely gonna miss New York."
"For sure," kekeh Laras. Then sip the can of coke.
"Are you going to miss me?" asked Ben who almost made Laras spit coke that he wanted to swallow. "Because I'm gonna miss you" he continued. Making the heart of the barrel seem to want to jump out.
"Me?" laras asked as he cleared his throat to neutralize the thump in his chest.
Ben grimaced to see Laras who looked wrong. The girl's face was red. Of course I'll miss you, bitch!
"I gota go to the toilet" said Laras as he moved from his seat. Then hurried to the bathroom in the corner of the room.
Barrel washed his face. Looking at her red face in the mirror. Take a deep breath trying to calm down.
"Jago really make me wrong behavior gini, nyebelin," grumbled Laras. He took a deep breath, then stepped out of the small room.
Laras stopped his steps when he saw Ben who was surrounded by several girls who were asking for photos and chatting with him. Laras smiled faintly and decided to wait until the impromptu fan meeting was over.
