I don't know

snailhole

Two weeks passed after Joan's departure. Clary stayed back at her house. Joan was supposed to be gone for only 3 days, but for 2 weeks she did not come home. That's what led Clary back to her boarding. Many times she tried to contact her lover but it was always out of reach. Even the last time he called the answer heard from his phone operator was just "The number you're going to is not listed".

For a moment it all confused Clary. By leaving a debit card for her which is a decent amount of balance WOW for most people and a short message from Joan's phonecell number saying that the money was for her. Even more confused when after the message Joan's number can no longer be contacted and has disappeared for 2 weeks.

Just a year after Joan's disappearance, Clary did her graduation. In a modern black kebaya suit he and his classmates sat in the hall waiting for their turn to come on stage and receive their diplomas. So did Rudi who returned close to Clary after the departure of Joan.

" Clair klamu dateng?" Rudi opened his voice because from the beginning of the event none of the Clary family came.

" I don't know." replied the girl as if she didn't care about her best friend.

" You're always asked 'ENTAH'. Where's your weird guy? Suddenly, it appears, and says there's no news." Rudi started to care about his best friend.

" Yes, don't know. You know how to inget her. I forgot it." Clary still pretends not to care where Joan is. Though his little heart always asked about the mysterious state of the man.

" Dh. lu ya terooosss. I know you only a day. Trus ATMs in the news?" rudy's kekepatan began to smolder.

" La want to? Take it." Clary took out an ATM card that Joan had given her before she left.

" Dehh.. Ogah, bother talking to you. You snail!" Rudi was exasperated half to death with his friend.

Acarapun. Everyone out of the hall. So did Rudi and Clary. Seen from a distance some people waved to them. How shocked they were to find out that among the people waving were Clary's father and mother.

The girl ran and hugged her parents. Her tears escaped from flooding her cheeks.

" Cair thinks mom's not coming"

" Must come, baby. Cook the one on our special day did not come" replied the mother while rubbing her son's wet cheeks.

" Trus abis, where do you want to work? I'll file it at the branch office where you work or do you have other prospects?" ask dad to the point.

" Yes.so we're in the office again" Rudi was excited to embrace his best friend's shoulder.

" Really brother?" ask Irma, Rudi's sister. "Kok not bosen the little guy already along with it? what are you guys..???" Irma began to guess her brother's relationship.

" Don't what?"Rudi clenched his brother's head until Irma complained of pain.

" It hurts!!! Pi.. papi.. by the way if Rudi's brother is being betrothed to Clary how?" cletuk Irma to her papa made everyone there shocked.

PLETAKKK

Again Rudi clinched the head of his sister who always likes to talk.

" Kids know what?" mami Rudi interrupted opening her voice eliminating the awkwardness between their families.

" But it's also a good idea Irma mam. Hagia they have also been legitimate since childhood and surely they understand each other's character. The proof is they can survive until now" said papi Rudi casually while lighting a cigarette.

" Maybe that's also the case. Our family has also known well since we were in school" now it's Clary's father's turn to show his genius.

Instantly it was in unison and compact Clary and Rudi answered "NO!!!!!!!"

The two families looked at them in turn.

" The answer is already compact" cletuk Irma.

" Bad mace. bodo ah. Anyway there is no matchmaking" Rudi refused firmly.

" IDEM" continued Clary at lightning speed.
