Prologues



My name is Vero, I am a newcomer to the city of Yogyakarta. After graduating from college at a state university in this city, I was immediately accepted to work at one of the SOE banks.


I'm a stingy girl, but I'm not really the arrogant type, just that I'm a hard person to start a conversation with someone I don't know very well.


I have a face that is arguably beautiful, fair yellow skin, long shoulder-length hair. My body is quite attractive with a height of 165 cm and weighs 50 kg.


This afternoon after work I stopped by a mall to buy cosmetics that happened to run out. But an incident that I never expected, I met someone who once troubled my heart.


Elmo's name, I knew him when we were both in 1st grade at SMU. He used to tease me and greetings through the Dawn of my roommate. At first I never responded, but then many female friends talked about her good looks, so I slowly began to notice her. Sure enough, it turned out that her face was quite attractive, supported by her athletic body, making her appearance so dazzling.


Slowly I started to like him, when he was playing at my boarding house I started to talk to him. But I was a little suspicious when my one-time best friend Diaz seemed to want to attract Elmo. If Elmo plays to my boarding house, Diaz is the most excited, and most eager to continue approaching Elmo, even I finally choose to keep quiet to pay attention to the two of them.


Diaz is an aggressive type of girl, unlike me who is more reserved. In the end, Diaz confided in me that she liked Elmo. At that moment my heart was broken. Then Diaz declared her love for Elmo, and I heard from Dawn they were both dating. But strangely since then Elmo never again came to my boarding house, and it was like avoiding to meet Diaz.


I could only harbor my own feelings, for not wanting to ruin my friendship with Diaz.


Until finally Elmo moved out of my school when I was in 2nd grade, and I really lost touch with him.

" The total is 120,000 thousand, Ma'am."


I took the money in the wallet, and immediately handed it to the cashier.


" Thank you!" Taking the groceries I just paid for.


I then stepped out, but just about to go through the door arrived there was a voice of a man calling out to me.


" Vero...!!!"


I paused for a moment and looked for the source of the voice, which seemed to be coming from my left.


My chest was pounding loudly when I found out who the owner of the voice was. Oh my God he's Elmo the man who once tore my heart apart, but then went somewhere, he never even knew how I felt about him.


" Elmo...???"


" Why is he here?" Bathink.


" Heeii Ve, are you here as well? How are you doing?"


" Thank God be good."


Not much has changed with him, still as handsome as when I knew him in High School, only now his face is overgrown with fur that he cared for neatly, making him more charismatic and more mature.


" Who are you coming here with?" ask Elmo.


" I'm alone El? Who are you with?"


" Same, alone too."


" You live here now Ve?"


" Yes." Yeah."


" You?"


" I've been here a long time" Ve."


I nodded in a nod to hear Elmo's explanation.


" Eh, let's talk first if you


don't mind."


" Come, come on!!"


" We're just eating above, right?" elmo.


" It's up to you."


Then we both headed to a Fast Food restaurant on the 2nd floor of the mall.


I chose to sit by the window, the place is more fun, can see the atmosphere of the road below.


I saw Elmo was ordering food at the checkout, and before long he had brought a tray filled with food on our table.


" Washed your hands, right?"


" It's dong." My answer.


" I don't think so, if there's no hot water here yet."


" Hahaha I'm not the kid I was taught to be."


Then we ate the food while chatting.


" You changed a lot Ve."


" Oh yeah, maybe because you haven't seen me in a long time."


" Seriously, your body is getting thinner, but the more beautiful hehe."


" Hmmmm base", I said.


" You haven't changed much El either, it's still the same as before."


" It's just better looking now, right?" while smiling seductively.


" Hahaha that's you who said, isn't it me?"


" But no one changes Ve."


" There's a...!!"


" What?"


" So smart to fight."


" If it's a Ve side profession."


" Hahahaha.dangerous dong", sahutku.


" Don't know if Ve we meet again here, but it's been a long time?"


" Have you been here long, Ve?"


" It's good, ever since I graduated from college, and then immediately accepted a job at the bank."


" So you went to college here too Ve?"


" Yes El, I went to college here for 4 years."


" How is it that we never met?"


" You think this Yogya is as wide as the leaves of moringa pakk."


Elmo just laughed in response to my words.


" You can be here yourself?"


" I've been here a long time, Ve, ever since I moved that."


" Ooohhh I don't know."


" You're sorry you're married yet Ve?"


" Hahaha not yet El, if I have to ask my husband to bring me here for sure" I replied.


" You're a basic, my looks are like my mom's."


" How do you think fathers try?"


" Hahaha, you can be El!"


" Aren't you married yet?"


" Not yet Ve, no one wants to."


" Nobody wants to, don't you want to?"


" Hehehe's two of them."


" A long time ago did we not meet? ever since I moved here."


" Yes about 10 years El."


" I don't think you knew me yet Ve."


" Where might I not know the man who made me fall in love" my heart.


" What are your activities now?"


" me? uhhhmmm I'm just a regular employee of Ve."


" What employee is that?"


" In private contracting companies."


" Subordinate employee" he said again.


" Ohhh I said."


" What did you ride here?" ask Elmo.


" I was riding in public transportation, usually take a motorbike, but the tires were leaking so I lived in a workshop near my boarding house."


" Have you never communicated with Diaz again?" My toot.


" In the beginning of the move he still often calls me, but it's not anymore when my phone is gone and I don't remember the numbers, so lost contact."


" That means you're still dating that part time?"


" I don't know, I don't know if she's dating either."


" Ihhh strange guy, dating you don't know" I said.


Elmo just smiled.


I saw the clock in my hand at 17:00


" El's afternoon, yuk's home?"


" What time is it?"


" El 5 o'clock, yuk."


Then we walked up to the escalator.


" I'm anther you go home, huh?"


" No need to take nicotine?"


" It's no coincidence I brought an office car, finished with the goods earlier, how? Wanna?"


" May." Answer's short.


Then we both headed to the car park.


Elmo approached a luxury sedan in metallic black.


" Hmmm the company must be big, the inventory car just like this is fancy" my bath.


" Come on up !" Elmo.


" Eh yes."


" You used to take this car El?"


" No Ve, it just so happened that the driver who usually took this car did not leave, so I take it, usually I just bring Ve motor."


" Ohhhh..."


" Where's your kos?"


" Just keep El on the road Hos Cokroaminoto."


" So you graduated high school straight here?"


" Yes El at UGM, you yourself?"


" I'm in private Ve, my brain isn't as smart as you hehehe."


" Don't know if we can meet here, another question where is it now?" Ask Elmo.


" Daz you mean?"


" Not another temen dong."


" Do you want to know where Diaz is now?"


" Don't talk about it, just say something else."


Just shut up, what's wrong with them? until Elmo didn't want me to mention Diaz before him.


" Stop in front of El, that's the green fence on the right."


" Is this your cost?"


" Did you drop by yuk?"


" It's the afternoon next time."


" Eh your bike hasn't been taken yet?"


" Not yet, it's late in the afternoon for sure to close the workshop."


" Yes, tomorrow I picked it up, because the conversation was so forget the time."


" No nicotine?"


" What time is it?"


" At 7:30?"


" Okay, uh your phone number asks for dong."


Then I mentioned my number, and Elmo noted on his phone.


" Yes by tomorrow, Ve."


" Okay, yeah."


Then Elmo started the engine of his car, and left my boarding yard.
