I'm Tired, Love Me

Retno

“You've got Rhey's girlfriend?” Ask Audi while leaning on his chair.

“Hehehe, not yet mbak”

“Ah time anyway? A pretty girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend yet?”

“Where would anyone want a widow like me mbak?”

“Lho are you a widow?” Audi looked surprised, and I nodded.

“Sorry yes Rhey, I don't know.” Ma'am Audi opened my file and saw a copy of my ID, saw my status writing there.

“Gak pa pa mbak, already passed.” I smiled at him.

“Definitely is Rhey a sincere man who accepts you as you are, maybe you are too close yourself.” Ms. Audi collected all the files I had filled in and signed.

“Fear of mbak, the deketin men.”

“Hahaha you are very funny Rhey, even though many are proud of low if you can grab a man.”

“I even mbak victims, my man was taken hahahaha, when I want to take men in exchange.”

“Yes that's how Rhey's guy is, that's what makes me lazy to commit, because that guy was a lot of sweet in the beginning.”

“I'm even afraid. Now my focus, to make myself happy, so that my deceased parents are proud of me.”

“Patience Rhey, there will be happiness waiting for you. Next week enjoy your journey full of surprises.” Blinking one of his eyes at me.

“Isn't every time a surprise we never know what will happen?”

“Yes you were right Rhey. It's all done, if you want to go back now please Rhey.”

“Oh yes mbak, if so I return now mbak.” My pamphlets to Audi.

“Oke Rhey, later next info I contact you again.”

“Good mbak, I say goodbye first.”

“Okay, take care Rhey.” Waving my hands at me.

“Thank you mbak” I reply to a wave of hands mbak Audi.

It's 4pm, there's still time for me to take a break before I meet Retno. I sent a message to Retno, informing her that my business was done.

‘Ret, I'm done with the file. If you have returned home from the office news yes, I rested briefly at the hotel.’

I put my phone back in my bag. Walk up to the elevator and down to the lobby. Arriving at the lobby I saw Mr. Revelation walking towards me.

“It's finished non?” Greetings to Revelation.

“Already sir, it's back to hotel.”

“Let me deliver non.”

“Eh no need sir, later ngerepotin pak Wahyu.” Refuse smooth.

“Lho precisely if non refuse can even ngerepotin me non, can be nagged by my boss non.” Shuddering in horror, it seemed like Mr. Revelation imagined if scolded by the boss.

“Hahaha alright sir, let's get me. Later the boss gets angry.” I was laughing.

The streets are quite jammed this afternoon, understand the number along with some people who go home from work. At 5pm I arrived back at the hotel.

“Thank you sir Wahyu.”

“Sama-sama. Tomorrow I pick up at nine o'clock ya non, at half twelve is the flight schedule?”

“Oh yes sir, good sir.”

“I excuse non.” I nodded and smiled at the Revelations sir.

Upon entering the lobby area, my phone rang an incoming call from Retno.

“Rheyyyy..” has not had time to say hello, but Retno has shouted.

“Eh yes, Wa’alaikumsalam. Share lock hunt, I'm back at work nih.”

“I just got to nih” hotel I pressed the elevator button

“Yes in which hotel? I was the one there. Share lock only in order not late.”

“Yes I've sharedlock.” I'm sending my location to Retno.

“Ok, wait for me ya”

“Hemm game.” The phone call has been unilaterally broken by Retno.

I went into my room, took a shower and changed my clothes in casual clothes. Tying my hair like a ponytail, without makeup because I am a person who rarely polishes my face with makeup.

At 6 in 10 minutes, Retno called me.

“Woy hunt down, I can't ride it if there's no keycard.” Retno's voice boomed in my ear.

“Hahaha yes, I forgot to wait for a moment ya.” I pull out the keycard and get out of the room.

When I got to the lobby, I saw Retno playing her phone, I ran towards her and hugged her.

“Yeah I miss so much you” I hug Retno because we have not met for a long time, only through a telephone connection we exchanged greetings, and occasionally Video Call.

“Eh oath is very low shock I think who play hug aja.” Followed by Retno's booming laughter.

“Current all of that? It will be until dawn.” Retno.

“Yuk is, who is afraid.” My legow

“Nih I brought a snack dikit.” While lifting the package that reads martabak and parcels that do not know what the contents are.

“Ah is less, later let me order a snack online only, yuk ah to the room first.” I pulled Retno's hand, but then I stopped walking.

“Steve?” My voice was soft when I saw a figure similar to Steve.

“Woy Rhey? What was? You know that guy?” Tanya Retno.

“Similar to the person I know” but I doubt it because when I saw it at a glance and that person has already passed away go out of this hotel.

“Ah might just look like Rhey.” Retno took turns pulling my hand.

“Ah yes probably just similar yes.” I followed Retno to the elevator.

I ordered dinner for me and Retno from this hotel, and ordered some extra snacks for us to eat while telling stories. Retno brought sweet martabak that if in Surabaya the name becomes bright moon, and crust telor. I added other lighter snacks for us to eat, along with some chocolate and coffee drinks.

I told Retno everything, starting the Bagas affair, how I could catch Bagas who was with the Princess. My secret admirer who turned out to be Bagas' cousin, Mas Arlo, who already had a wife and children, but still desperately declared his love for me, even Arlo's kiss did not escape I told Retno.

How Vano died, then followed by papa and mama, all did not escape I told you. I even came back crying when I told about the departure of the 3 people I love the most. Retno I shed her tears, her eyes,

“You're a tough woman Rhey, if I were you, I might go crazy after that ordeal.” Retno commented when she wanted to calm my tears.

“I even nearly killed myself Ret if there was no Arlo mas who prevented me. That's why I actually love him, because he helped me too much. Maybe my love for him is only as a brother, I don't want to belong to anyone else Ret, I stay away from it because the Arlo mas household can be destroyed because of me, and I don't want it to happen.”

I also told you about Steve, the guy I looked like I saw in the lobby. How Steve treated me, how Steve helped me to get away from Bagas and Arlo, how Steve helped me win this design race by lending me an ipad that was even new when it was given to me.

All this is nothing I missed telling you, From A to Z is klo people say. Until it does not feel the time shows at 2 more than 22 minutes early in the morning.

“Sleep yuk Ret, you have to work. I also have to get up early, so as not to miss the plane.” I saw Retno who had started to yawn.

“Iya nih, crazy ya do not feel so much you know if it's a story like this.” While yawning back.

“Ya already yuk ah sleeping.” I went to bed and followed Retno.

We both fell asleep and entered our dreamland. Storytelling is draining and brain draining, as it re-unpackes memories that slowly begin to pass.

Seriate..
