I'm Second Also Injured

So far

That night when suddenly Saif hung up the phone there was no more phone calls from him.

Today has been nine days Meta did not get news by phone or chat from his lover.

Before disconnecting the phone at that time Saif said that he would call back.

As a lover Meta also worried about what and why Saif. The restlessness Meta felt, until he thought something bad had happened to Saif. Saif should have told her what happened despite the chat to reduce her anxiety.

Saif's phone could not be reached at all.

Meta also asks Sila to tell Robi the phone number she might know about Saif's whereabouts or news. But unfortunately Robi's mobile number is not active.

Thankfully Siska can make Meta more calm and positive thinking that Saif may be busy or something very important he did so he forgot to tell.

Siska and Meta were in the canteen mall, they remained there even after lunch. " Never think anything strange" said Siska, stirring her drink.

Meta was just speechless trying to instill in his mind that nothing bad happened to his lover.

"In this week he will definitely call you back. Because seeing his attitude and attention I'm sure he likes you a lot." Siska continued although Meta did not comment anything but he was sure that Meta heard every remark.

Meta who had just stared at his phone on the table, hoping that Saif would contact.

By looking at the watch in his hand Siska, he invited Meta back into the mall because the break was over. " Let's go in for five minutes." Siska stood up from the chair in the Meta follow who also stood up.

His thoughts were a little open after talking to Siska, he was sure that Saif had not been able to contact her.

Meta is sitting behind the cashier Julia Jewelry desk, she does work the same as before but these nine days Meta is more silent unlike the usual Meta.

Cindy and Rahma could only look and whisper between them seeing her senior turn quiet for days.

" Mad Meta why yes, what broke up from his girlfriend?," Rahma told Cindy. They both stood up and cleaned the jewelry display case.

" I don't know, but for example breaking up should have Meta's eyes swollen from crying." Cindy answered Rahma's question by looking at Meta. "Maybe it's just a fight." Cindy continued.

" The shop doesn't feel good, it's quiet."

Cindy was silent and raised an eyebrow, she also did not know exactly what happened to her senior.

Meta closes the laptop after checking the report and calls Cindy. " Cindy please print the report on this flash tomorrow leave it to me."

Cindy who stopped cleaning the storefront when Meta talked to her. " It's not tomorrow that Meta's off."

Meta only realized if tomorrow is Thursday, he's off. " Ayeah I forgot." in short, as both hands held his head.

" But still you bring this flash, the day after the report leave it to me."

Cindy walked towards Meta to retrieve the flash in Meta's hand

" okay mbak."

" I want to go home first." Meta walks into the warehouse getting ready to go home.

Meta directs the motor he drives

a fruit and vegetable salad trader who is still around the mall. Although he had been a few days this was so irregular but for him the salad was a sedative. Food that is refreshing and appetizing.

Meta wants to go home a little late so that he does not go back to thinking bad things when he is at home.

Being outside gave her fresh air, seeing the crowds on the street helped shift her thoughts about her lover.

 

〰️〰️〰️

 

Meanwhile Saif...

At home he is no less confused with Meta. He strongly resisted his desire to contact Meta, he wanted to send a chat but now it can't be done.

Saif was also in the office everyday and came home when it was very late at night.

Saif wants to run to meet his lover, he will feel better if near Meta.

Inside his brain was only a shadow of Meta that was probably waiting for him right now.

After that night when he said he would call back to Meta, he could not contact Meta at all even for chat. Saif had reneged on what he had said to his lover.

A feeling of guilt enveloped him to the person he loved the most now.

The day after his quarrel with someone that night, he also had to face his family again.

Saif did not think about the quarrel with his family, because it was already often he faced. The only one he wants to protect, he doesn't want Meta to get in because of his family's quarrel.

As much as possible he did not bring the name Meta into his problems, because the girl did not deserve to be brought in family disputes.

Today, Saif asked one of his close friends to come see him at the office. He deliberately asked in the office because it was impossible for him to speak at home. Saif explained the situation to his close friend Soni, now he wants to ask for help to be able to contact Meta.

After the working hours were completed in the afternoon, Soni came to Saif's office.

Saif and Soni are already sitting in the office. " This is my phone and the new number you asked for." Soni put the two items on the table. " Thank you, Soni, I owe you one" Saif said, taking a new phone card.

" You're looking for Saif's problem, then what about the girl." Soni also has anxiety over Saif's problem. Saif leaned his back on the sofa. " I love it and I love it." Saif said with the feeling he felt for Meta.

" Your love will only hurt her. You know your family better, so I think the girl's gonna have a hard time." Apparently Soni knows about Saif's family.

" Ah no... I'm not gonna complicate Meta. As much as possible I'll be in front of him so he doesn't hurt my family." Saif reiterated his belief.

Soni still explains how complicated the problem of Saif. " Don't you drag him in your family circle?."

" But I'm not going to expose him to my family."

Soni shook her head, "You seem to like her a lot. I hope you can solve all of this, especially for that girl. Don't forget that you can't keep all this for too long."

Soni took her cup of coffee and drank it.

I feel like I have advised my friend enough. Soni finally returns home and leaves Saif who is still sitting on the sofa.

Saif asked Soni to bring a new mobile phone and number so that she could immediately contact Meta. Saif's phone was previously damaged unrequited because it was thrown away.

Once the number is attached now Saif's hand presses the number and it is the Meta number.

Meta just broke down and his phone rang.

Seen a number without a name, a number not known to him.

" Hello...". Meta replies in doubt because he doesn't know who's calling.

Saif was silent for a moment because he did not hear Meta's voice for a long time. " Dear.I miss you."

Meta who felt recognized the voice, "This...This is you a' ?."

Relieved Saif's feelings after hearing Meta's voice. "Hm... It's me, honey. I'm sorry I just got to call you now."

Between happy and confused Meta is a bit emotional." Where have you been, you know I'm so worried about you a'?."

" I'm sorry again but don't be so angry. I'll explain later." A smile on Saif's lips.

" I miss you so much, when are you off?." Ask Saif to know Meta's answer immediately.

Because his feelings have not been so good Meta only answered one word, "Tomorrow."

Saif knows how Meta feels now.

" okay. How about I see you tomorrow, honey."

Saif knows what he's saying, though tomorrow he should be able to find an excuse to meet his girlfriend. That he can think of later, most importantly he can calm Meta.

Saif grew more guilty after finding out that Meta was very worried about him.

Saif also needs to meet the girl he misses so much.

" Tomorrow wait for me at home. Oh yeah baby maybe I can't call you often for now."

Meta is silent. " I'll explain tomorrow" continued Saif.

"okay."

" Yes I'm working, I turn off the phone. I love you, baby."

"Yes." Yeah." The phone connection was also cut off.

Meta is still surprised but he is also relieved that Saif has called him back.

He will be waiting for Saif tomorrow.

They say that love is never wrong,

it was the circumstances and circumstances that made him wrong. Who shaped that situation?

or is it destiny.
