Longing Memories

Undecided

Drrt .. drrt …

There was a sound of vibration from Andre's cell phone sign that he was getting a phone call. Andre is performing his bathing ritual so that he does not realize that there is a phone call.

"Ah, a lot of shower," Andre said to himself. He came out of the bathroom in his private room wearing only training pants. It was clearly reflected from the glass cupboard that was beside his bed.

The tall athletic body, with a decent stomach featuring his muscles, plus his hair that is still half wet, adds to the masculine impression that is in Andre.

He then took his cellphone on his bed and saw there were some calls from his lover who was none other than Sarah. Then, he also noticed that there were some messages from a number he did not know.

Hi, Andre. How are you doing?

Andre, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous. But I can't lie my feelings to you all this time. I miss you, Ndre..

Andre was amazed by the content of the message because he did not know where the message came from.

For a moment he ignored the message, he preferred to call back Sarah who was on the way to Bandung.

Tutt .. tutt .. tutt…

"Hallo, Assalamualaikum," Sarah's voice sounded after picking up a phone call from Andre.

"Walaikumsallam, where have you been?" Ask Andre.

"........."

"I was in the shower, hp was on the bed. Have you eaten?"

"........"

"Yaudah, if there's anything immediately tell me who. I love you."

"....."

"Mosell."

Andre put the phone back on the bed and headed to his wardrobe to pick up the t-shirt.

Drrttt .. drtt .. drrtt …

The sound of vibration came back from Andre's phone. He immediately picked up the phone and saw that there was a call from an unknown number, the same number as the sender of the message to his phone.

"Yes, hello." Andre picked up the phone call, and was surprised to hear the voice of the woman from across the street.

"Andre?" Ask the woman.

"Yes, who is this?"

"..........."

"Wine? How can I get my number?"

"......"

"Alhamdulillah, I'm fine," replied Andre flatly.

"......."

"Sorry, Graceful. I have to turn on the phone, I still have work to do."

"....."

Andre did not answer Anggun's last greeting before he ended his conversation with Andre.

Graceful is his first love and the person who gives the most pain to his heart. While breaking off with Anggun, she feels the trauma of starting a relationship with another woman.

For nearly two years she fortified herself not to fall back in love, but ultimately her heart could not lie the first time she met Sarah in front of her campus library.

Yes, she and Sarah went to the same university and the same faculty. Andre is Sarah's older brother. When he first saw Sarah, he immediately felt interested in the aura released from Sarah. Andre does not immediately feel love at first sight with Sarah, but he feels an interest in getting to know Sarah and starting a friendship with her.

Until finally, thanks to the encouragement and support of friends and parents, the relationship that was originally only limited to friendship between seniors and juniors slowly turned into lovers until now.

However, when he was comfortable and sure to take his relationship with Sarah in a more serious direction, suddenly the Grace of the first love came back to contact him.

To be honest, there was a feeling of uneasiness when he found out that the one giving the message and calling him was Anggun. Although impressed flat and not interested in talking to the woman via the phone, actually it was just camouflage alone from her who was feeling trembling when hearing the voice of her ex-lover.

"Why do you have to show up again, Nggun?"

Sarah POVS.

Argo Parahyangan Train.

Joseph asked me for permission to go to the toilet. I just nodded my head and he immediately went to the toilet in the car.

The train is running at a fast pace. Not long after Joseph had been allowed to go to the toilet, I suddenly felt someone coming and immediately occupied the seat next to me which belonged to Joseph all the way to Bandung.

I ignored the guy because I thought it was Joseph who came back from the toilet. However, I suddenly felt a pretty loud pat on my shoulder, as I turned my face and was shocked to see who was beside me at this moment.

A female ghost that has been terrorizing me and my grandfather's family for some time. Yes, he was the one who occupied Joseph's seat which was right on my right side.

I was so shocked and instantly could not move my entire body at all, even wanting to scream I was unable to. I could only see the horrible face of that woman who was looking at me sharply.

I felt as if the situation around me had become quiet, there was only me and the ghostly figure of the woman. All my body was shaking and sweating. I wanted to close my eyes, but I couldn't. Like being forced to always look in his direction.

I can only give up hoping it's all over soon. Before long the ghost of the woman said while shouting, "Mas Dedi is only mine, aaahhhhhhhh!"

The figure eventually disappeared slowly and I felt the situation inside the train car back to normal. However, I was still glued to the chair, until Joseph finally came to wake me up.

"Darling!" Joseph patted my shoulder softly while crouching in front of me and looked at me in wonder.

I was shocked by Joseph's clap and instantly made me re-awaken. However, what astonished myself was that I suddenly hugged Joseph and cried in his arms.

Joseph was also surprised by my behavior.

"Darl, are you ok?" Joseph asked me while patting my back.

I felt almost all the eyes of the passengers who were in one carriage with me staring at the two of us in wonder.

I just shook my head, not knowing what to answer to Joseph.

"Excuse me, how can we help you, mom and dad?" A train stewardess approached us and offered her help.

"Please ask for bottled mineral water yes, mbak," Joseph said.

"Okay, please wait a minute, sir."

The flight attendant passed to take Joseph's order.

"Udah okay?" Joseph's soft voice came back to me. For some reason, at a time like this I felt the aura of Joseph becoming like a real man.

"Udah," I replied, nodding my head and still in his arms. I ignored the gazes of the passengers who were still partly paying attention to the scene of the two of us.
