Someone opened the car door for fany, then Fany came in and sat sweet inside. After closing the car door, he walked around the car and entered and sat in the steering wheel.
At the same time, Fany looked nervous but she held him back and acted as if she was normal.
"That's on the seatbelt first. Can install it yourself, right? Or need help?" said someone beside Fany calmly.
"Ah, no need. Can be alone." said Fany who then installed his seatbelt correctly. He tried his hardest to shake his fear and nervousness.
"Udah?" asked the man beside her to make sure while looking at fany.
"I-iya already" said Fany, who this time he was really unable to hide his nervousness. Just this morning he had fantasized about meeting this man. And now he's in a car with the man .
They enjoy traveling in silence. Only the song accompanies their minds drifting somewhere. They are busy with their own thoughts. There is a sense of greeting between the two, but they muffle the taste.
The clock has shown at 17.00 wib, they have not arrived because they are stuck in traffic on the road caused by road repairs.
Boredom began to envelop the two because no one started talking a word.
"Gue wants to talk to her ajakin, but I'm confused! I'm a girl, when I was a negur she first! He also bludgeons his initiative to say what! Ih, you ice guy that time!" said Fany inwardly while continuing to shift the Instagram homepage that is actually not interesting to see.
"It's also jammed mulu, when is the way anyway?!" said Fany unconsciously speaking in a soft voice but can still be heard by the man delivered it. Fany nodded and closed her mouth.
"Patience yes. Let's walk again" said the man beside him with a little smile but looks stiff.
"Yes" said Fany who then fell silent without saying any further words. And with every now and then Fany ventured to glance at the man beside her that she saw was thinking of something.
"Wouldn't you have dinner?" said the man without looking at him.
Fany couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"What?" ask Fany reassured.
"You don't have dinner ?" said the man clarified his words by looking at the pretty face of Fany. He took the initiative to invite Fany dinner in the hope that he could be closer to this beautiful woman beside him.
"You're taking me?" fany said as he pointed to his own face.
"It is customary to call it not to be formal. Yes, I'm sure you're eating malem. How do you want to?" said the man who tried to be as calm as possible and smiled.
"But 'then if Irfan nyariin how?" Fany asked confusedly.
"Calm down, let me call your sister" the man said, then sent a short message to Irfan. "You're still in school, right?" he said it again without seeing Fany.
"Yes. Still in school." replied Fany.
"Why stay in the apartment?" ask the man while looking forward.
"Bosen is at home, so while following sister. Just during school holidays really." said Fany who can slightly feel his body more relaxed and calm by itself.
"Where are you going on vacation? Or the same vacation your boyfriend might?" he said again by running the car slowly.
"Where is there a boyfriend?! I was waiting for someone to take a vacation together. But I think my hope will be in vain again as in years past." said Fany in his heart and somehow his speech made the look of his face a little moody.
"Hey... You're okay, right?" said the man resuscitated Fany.
"That's okay, I don't have a boyfriend to focus on school first. I don't want a vacation either." Fany said with a wry smile.
"I'm sorry" said the man in a soft voice but could still be heard by Fany's ears.
"Sorry for what?" ask Fany not understand what he means.
"Nothing" said the man without looking at him.
"There's actually one thing I want to ask you" said Fany who successfully made the man turn toward Fany. with an expression of face inexplicable. Fany misbehaved herself at the sight of the handsome man beside her.
"What's? Um, we'll talk about that later. Wait until again." said the man and refocus driving on the road that is normal.
They kept quiet and didn't say any more words. They are busy with their own thoughts. Fany who was confused thought about how the right sentence to ask about the necklace. And that man who was busy with his thoughts about what was already known by the beautiful woman next to him.
Fifteen minutes later, the car entered the restaurant. The two of them got out of the car and got inside greeted kindly by the waiter at the restaurant.
The man subconsciously grasped Fany's fingers and led her to the elevator. Fany also did not realize that his fingers were grasped by the man beside him. While in the elevator together, they also kept silent and said nothing. Until the elevator doors opened, they walked towards a private room.
Fany's heart beat more and more irregularly as she was brought into the room. There was no one there but him and the man who took him.
The room with decorations seemed a little romantic. The room next to it is surrounded by a glass wall that can make them enjoy the night view from there. Seeing the thousands of stars scattered between the dark night sky and below there are also city lights and vehicle lights passing by.
"Please sit down." said the man to Fany who was looking out there looking at the night view.
"Why are we here?" ask Fany who is unable to hide her curiosity.
The man walked over to Fany. This time Fany was scared. His heart was beating as if it was about to jump out. The cold sweat began to be felt as soon as the man gently touched Fany's shoulder. But with greater fear enveloping 'em, Fany quickly brushed off that hand and stepped back.
"Silent. Sorry if I scared you. I promise I won't do anything about you." said the man gently staring at the frightened Fany.
"I'm sorry, I can explain everything from start to finish. Please don't avoid. I promise I won't do evil to you." said the man who made Fany speechless who would answer.
Fany's steps came to a halt as her body was already leaning against the wall behind her right. He was still afraid of the man in front of him who kept approaching.
"You should know who I am" said the man gently, not wanting the woman in front of him to be frightened. His words kept Fany silent. Then he grabbed Fany's right hand.
Fany was silent by remembering her delusional thoughts all this time. He looked at the two men in front of him.
"I always hope for God, may you never forget me. I have always tried to go home and see you. But Mom and Dad were always busy. I went to college there too. I was trying to finish college quickly. I need to be like Papa. And my job is now to fight for Papa's company in Indonesia. My brother stayed there for a few more years. Sorry I am yes. I used to leave too because of Mama's will with Papa. I'm really sorry, I was wrong. I never send word. I was so focused on my college that I forgot about you. I'm sorry." said the man who was able to make Fany close his mouth with his left hand.
Now Fany is unable to speak. He still could not believe what he heard. He could not believe that this man in front of him was the one he had been most looking forward to his presence was also the one he missed the most.
Unknowingly, a speck of fallen tear droplets flowed down his smooth cheeks. He sobbed in his silence. He felt his thumb wipe away the tears that kept falling.
"I'm sorry... I promise I won't go again." said the man in his soft voice while wiping away the tears on Fany's still flowing cheeks.
"You.." said Fany who then fell silent again.
"Yes me. I'm Ardhi. You never forget me, do you?" ardhi said with a smile, yes the man is a man who was always together in childhood. Who miss each other but are blocked by the distance that separates the two.
"I'm not wrong, am I? I'm not dreaming anymore, am I?" fany said like a confused person.
"You're not dreaming. It's me." said Ardhi with a smile and pulled out the necklace with the half-hearted pendulum from inside the collar of his shirt. "I never took this necklace off either. Don't cry anymore, why are you crying?" he said again, stroking softly Fany's cheeks and nose, which looked flushed from crying.
Without thinking for a long time, Fany immediately hugged Ardhi's body and leaned her head on the chest of her field. Fany could not help her happiness. I don't know, he really felt happy and closed his eyes for a moment.
Ardhi also felt happiness in his heart. His hope all this time was not in vain. He held Fany's body into his arms. Dabbed Fany's long hair gently.
"Thank you for being present again in my life. I still don't believe." Fany said as she raised her head looking at Ardhi's face with a smile.
"Yes . I promise I will always be there in your days and will always take care of you. I won't go again." said Ardhi with a smile. And suddenly, Ardhi kissed Fany's forehead which successfully made Fany gawk.
"Flame.." said Fany interrupted because Ardhi immediately answered him.
"We're in office, right? Can dong ya kiss the forehead doang." said Ardhi with a light chuckle see the look on Fany's face.
"But , am I the one who missed him so many years and will still be a friend?" ardhi said in a heart that somehow felt worried about his own feelings.
"Jaudah let's eat. I've laper nih." said Ardhi again.
"Yes" said Fany, then walked to the dinner table and called waiters to order food.
"Tomorrow I'll go to your house. Long time no see Om same Aunt." said Ardhi .
"By , it's okay. Must be Mama Papa seneng." said Fany "Thank you "he said again to the waiter who delivered the food menu. And Ardhi just smiled looking at Fany.
"Why see me like that?" fany told Ardhi.
"No, it's funny to see you cry it's still the same as it used to not change yaa." said Ardhi who made Fany sing her lips as if she was sulking.
"Tauk deh, just came in my life not long ago has made it all together" said Fany by stirring food in front of him.
"No, yaudah let's eat. After this we go home." said Ardhi who then ate the food he ordered.
They ate with a calm atmosphere and with a happy feeling until their dinner was over.
They both got out of the restaurant and drove into the car to go back to the apartment. Along the way they tell each other about the past that has been in nature. Until it does not feel the car has entered the apartment area. And they both got out of the car and went into the apartment to the elevator and went to their apartment rooms.
"Oh my God, what dream am I having? Now can you be this happy?" fany said inwardly with a smile of her own while resting her body on the bed.
Glancing at the wall clock of his room, the clock shows 20:00 wib. But her brother has not returned to the apartment. He got out of bed to the bathroom. He soaked in a bathtub with warm water to relax his body for a moment.
Fany finished her bathing ritual and put on her nightgown. He went up to the bed and laid his body down and before long, he fell asleep.
At 22.00 wib, Irfan just got home from his office. He entered the apartment carefully. He knew his sister was asleep. Irfan opened the door of his room that Fany was sleeping in, the door was unlocked. He went in and gave a thick blanket over Fany's body. He looked at Fany's face for a moment, then smiled.
"May you be happy with her deck. Brother knows he's a good person." said his brother who then went out of the room to the next room to take a shower and rest his body that felt very tired.
