I'm Second Also Injured

Must be today

That day, the,,

He leaned against the office table in a position between sitting and standing, crossing his hands in front of his chest while gazing out the window that the estate saw. A gaze that does not really see the atmosphere but rather to think of something.

He was just weighing should he start telling his true self to a girl who took over his mind. Maybe it's time Saif started talking to Meta. He picked up his phone and started typing something, there was no way he could explain it now. But he has to introduce who he is to Meta just through a chat.

The next two days.

For a few days Saif headed to his office earlier than usual. He preferred to think about everything there, because of the calm atmosphere. Today he wants to leave his office an hour early.

After deciding to tell Meta, it was enough for him to think about it. One more step, now.. For a few seconds, I wanted to be selfish. I want to forget everyone, ignore the world, and forget my origins and background. Without burden, demands, or expectations. I want to confess I love you Meta Kirana.. Saif said in his own heart and looked at the Meta photo on the phone screen.

Instantly he stood up from his seat and grabbed the car keys on the desk, heading out of the office to come at the magnet girl. The wall clock in the office shows at 15:00.

On the way he tries to contact his magnet girl by calling directly. The third time he called the girl, after sending a message that both had no answer.

" Is he still working?. Well I'll go to the mall. "he said it himself and heard it himself.

Meanwhile, after lunch Meta was busy working on the schedule he had made, because there were two people who would train at his store. Meta should change all schedules one week ahead.

Starting to come to the mall until late in the afternoon Meta did not hold the phone, the phone was still in the bag in a state of obliterated.

He's in the warehouse to rework the schedules of all the employees at Julia Jewelry.

Cindy opened the barn door," mbak, Miss Louisa called?." He pointed to the shop phone.

" Okay" he stood up from a sitting position and stepped out of the shed.

" Yes Miss Louisa."

Five minutes later.

" Good Miss Louisa I'll go now."

Phone's on the lid.

" What's the matter, Miss Louisa called?."

" I'm told to go to the boarding house that the new boy will occupy."

" Now mbak?."

" Yes." Yeah." Meta goes into the warehouse to pick up the bag.

" I'm staying, you guys, I'm not coming back here. "

" Be careful, ma'am."

" Sip." Meta walks out the store.

Again he has not seen his phone, there have been five missed calls.

By riding his motorbike Meta went to the boarding place that will be used by two training employees. It is not far from the mall about 400 m located in the village opposite the mall.

The journey is a little more congested because now is the hour home from work the road gets a little jammed. It usually only takes an hour to get to Meta place, but this has been an hour past yet to arrive.

Fifteen minutes later he arrived at the mall, parked the car in the front parking area of the mall so as not to bother to park the car like in the basement. Saif appeared to be in a hurry to the escalator, he was still walking quickly to get to Julia Jewelry soon.

Saif arrived in front of Julia Jewelry but did not see the figure of Meta, because it was in front of the store he decided to go in to ask Meta's coworkers.

" Excuse me. Did Meta log in today?."

" Yes, come in. Can anyone help?." Cindy said

" Ah no, I'm just looking for Meta."

" Mr Meta her one hour ago already left the store. Sorry who are you?."

" I'm a friend of Meta."

" O. mbak Meta has business so go home early."

" Where would you know?."

" Search boarding for new children. "

" It's been a long time?."

" An hour ago. Why not just call?."

" Already but no answer."

While looking at the watch Cindy said,

" O maybe now I'm home."

" Thank you for the information, I'm heading to his house right now.".

Cindy nodded her head and saw Saif leave in a hurry.

" How did I know he was a friend of Meta's?" Rahma came to Cindy who was at the door of the shop.

" Same I just found out. Why should he be in such a hurry?."

Rahma shrugged her shoulders indicating that she didn't know either.

Meta in the kost met the owner to pay the boarding money for two training employees for two months. He was there for forty-five minutes, as soon as his business was done he went straight home.

Inside the house he reached into his bag looking for a cellphone, he just remembered all day not opening a cellphone.

He climbed the stairs to his room. "Six missed calls, the last call was five minutes ago and two chats came in." Meta babbles himself.

" Saif "feel of pleasure enveloped her because Saif finally contacted her again.

" Why he called this much, he should have known that if I didn't pick up it meant I was working. All right, I'll call her." Meta pressing the call button.

" Hello."

" Where are you Meta?."

Meta was surprised yet he asked Saif had asked about him.

" At home" he answered briefly.

" I went there. "

The call was interrupted instantly.

"Is there a problem with him?" Meta is still guessing what happened to Saif.

" Maac....." Saif's breath seemed to run away.

" Why Saif ?."

Saif and Meta stood face to face without answering Meta Saif took three steps and embraced Meta. Meta can only sculpt the same as when Saif first embraced him.

" I thought you were angry maybe even away from me after I told you about who I am." Saif's right hand holds Meta's head, which seems to be stroking the hair.

" There's something I have to tell you, but somehow you respond after I say it."

" I like you, I love you Meta Kirana."

Meta still in Saif's arms could only blink his eyes at Saif's confession. Both of her cheeks were burning hearing Saif's words.

Saif slowly let go of his embrace towards Meta.

" How about you go in the house, because we're still at the door."

Saif forgot that all he needed to do was reveal what he felt on Meta.

" All right.."

" Wait a minute, I'll get you a drink."

Meta himself became nervous and his heart was still pounding. Meta asks Saif to sit on the sofa while Meta heads to the kitchen. Meta brought a drink and put it on the table.

The atmosphere became awkward after the expression Saif spoke.

" Metal..can we go out for a minute?."

" Where?"

" I don't know, I just need to talk to you."

" okay. But I want to take a shower first my body feels sticky. Can I take a shower?"

" Meta of course"

" I go to the bathroom first, you please drink because you look run out from far away "joke Meta so that the atmosphere melts a little.

Saif and Meta were smiling at the same time.

They left the house after Meta finished bathing, they did not go far just driving a car and stopped at a luxury residential park located not far from Meta's house. It's good that they go to the park for a breath of fresh, free air when talking about this.

" You're leaving the house?" asked Meta.

" Remain from the office, it was to the mall .. I thought you were still working until there you weren't around and said your friend had gone home"

" Yes, there was some business but went straight home. And just saw an unanswered call from you"

" I guess you'll stay away from me when you read my last chat. So I'm here soon and I need to tell you."

" I don't.. Kan last chat you also said no need to reply to your chat because your phone more often died at that time."

" I'm not thinking about Meta anymore, I'm just thinking about your response after knowing who I am."

" Well it's your past if you, now it's better why should I be mad at you."

" meta....I mean what I say if I love you. When I go to Bali I think about this, whether I like you as a friend, or just my ego. These few days I made sure of how I felt about you and yes today I told you."

Meta still hears Saif's explanation

" You also don't have to answer right now, the important thing for me is to express what I feel. And this should not be a burden" Saif's tone sounded convincing.

" Yes, I'm still surprised by what you did today. I have to start preparing myself to always get a surprise from you. You always surprise me" Saif laughed.

" Yes that's me."

" Yes, I'm starting to know what Laura means. "

" Meta I'm hungry."

" You may be hungry after expressing your heart."

" ha ha ha... I haven't had lunch yet"

" We're just looking around here maybe a tent stall."

" I think it's important that my stomach fills up immediately."

They get in the car, Saif runs the car. They stopped at the siomay traders who often visited Meta if they want to eat siomay. Buyers are willing to queue long for a pack of siomay, because indeed this siomay is best around this area.

Two packs of siomay already in Meta's hands, they'll eat it in Meta's house.

They dined in the living room, the first time Saif ate at Meta's house.

" Meto have a phone." Saif yelled as Meta was in the kitchen putting down dirty dishes.

" yes "reply. While standing Meta grabbed his phone.

" Well, what's wrong with Siska?."

Three minutes of the phone went on Meta hung up on that call

" Siska called my name by the name of my car?."

" Yes "

" What's up?"

" He's having a party, because he knows you're here he's inviting you. "

" When?."

" Morrow."

" Suddenly so."

" Not suddenly.. This is the invitation already one week ago, the plan is also I'm the same Irfan"

" No, no, no, not Irfan. I'll come with you tomorrow. I'll pick you up.

Saif continued his chat, discussing what had happened during these few days so that he could not contact Meta.

And the conversation ended, at 21:00 when Saif said goodbye.

For him the most important thing is today for the next let him think about tomorrow and so on.
