Love Made In Hong Kong

Part.42. Year-End Holiday Canceled.

Povs. Aini

"Asnalama,Aini.. Aini.!"'s search..!" Nasya's voice called out from outside my room. It seems like he is in a hurry.

"What's wrong with Nas?" I immediately went out and opened my room door. I saw Nasya standing in front of the door with his hands clasped and his face expressionless, as if there was something very important.

"This is Ai, there's someone I want to tell you." Nasya pushed the door of the room and entered before me, it seems very strange Nasya's attitude this time. Then Nasya immediately sat on the edge of my bed.

I stood staring inexplicably at Nasya. Then I started asking him.

"Is it actually Nas?"

"So this is Ai. I want to give you some news you may not know. We are not going to be on a year-end holiday anywhere. Just called my sister, she said our year-end vacation this time seems like we should just spend it at our house."

"Why is Nas, how can that be?"

"Yes Ai, said my brother is currently in the plains of China there is an outbreak of a new disease that is very dangerous. And the transmission is very fast. And also more severe, this disease has not been found a cure. Actually, I could not believe what my brother reported but I tried to find information and it turns out I found from some local news media in Hong Kong was already since the last few days have been preaching about the outbreak of the new disease." Nasya explained to me.

"Astaghfirullah. fortunately we just want to plan it Nas. Oya Nas, if true news means we are also in danger."

"Yes Ai. Reportedly, the Hong Kong government will in the near future close all access in and out for tourists or local residents. All will be banned from travel."

"Duh. sad to hear this news also Nas."

"Well, but how, we pray that this plague will soon find a cure."

"Well, what's the name of the plague?"

"There is no Ai name. Only recently it was discovered that this outbreak was caused by a new, crown-shaped virus. And there are some local experts who call it the Corona Virus."

Nasya and I talked about a new outbreak that is spreading in mainland China. Because of this outbreak until finally the year-end vacation that Nasya planned was finally canceled. But the truth is that for myself it does not affect anything because honestly I am actually heavy for any vacation, anywhere, I just want to spend this vacation time at home at least occasionally just recreation in the streets of Hong Kong. No need to go to luxury places even just meet and gather with fellow workers from Indonesia alone is enough I think to fill my holiday.

I don't really want to know any more about young master or Nasya's older brother. I'm sure if it's time there will be time for me to meet and get to know the young master or my foster brother.

Finally after sleepy Nasya say goodbye to go to bed in his room.

"Oh, I'm already very sleepy. I went to the room first."

"Sleep here Nas, accompany me."

"Ah, not Ai. Your mattress is less padded. hehee." Nasya joked while then he passed out of my room.

After Nasya closed the door to my room, I tried to take my salary. I contacted Farenzy over the phone line but there was no answer from her. 'Maybe he's asleep'. Mumbles.

Sayup-sayup heard the chanting of dawn from a distance, out of which direction the mosque was located that I know every time the prayer time the sound of azdan reverberating was heard from the apartment where we lived. Although heavy I still force to wake up and take the water, then pray.

After the congregational prayer, Mama said she said she would pick up a new housekeeper this morning.

"Here, later you go to work delivered by papa yes, mama will pick up our new assistant. He'll be working on the house and everything maxam needs us all." Mama told me.

"Yes ma, oya ma his new assistant Indonesian also or not ma?" I asked my mom.

"Yes our guy from Indonesia too." Answer mama.

"Gee.. Thank goodness then ma. Nasha was no longer lonely. Because there is one more Indonesian in our house." Sahut Nasya full of spirit.

After everything was done, my mother said goodbye to go first because she was going to pick up our new assistant. Then just like you said I went to work with papa. Papa's journey invites me to chat about work and also the end-of-year vacation plans that must be passed at home.

"Here, have you heard the news that has spread in the Hong Kong period for a few days?"

"What news is pa?"

"News of a new disease outbreak that has not yet been found a cure."

"Yes pa, I heard last night from Nasya. He said the year-end holiday this time we won't be able to go anywhere because the government will close the in and out of Hong Kong."

"Yes, papa also just found out from Farenzy. You see, during this month papa is too busy with work so you do not have time to read the news or watch the news on TV. Though papa was planning to invite you to go on vacation to Paris." Papa said.

When my dad and I were busy chatting on the way to the office and my dad was concentrating on driving suddenly his phone rang. For a moment papa glanced towards his HP. Then he picked up and picked up the phone. And I don't know who papa is chatting in the cantonese language but there seems to be something important that papa is talking to the sin caller.

"What's pa?" I tried to dare to ask Papa.

"Emmm.ah, there's nothing Ai. Just a regular job." Answer papa.

But it seems like papa's answer is not the same as what happened. The problem after papa hung up the phone suddenly papa's face immediately changed. Like there is an anxiety stored behind the face of papa that he deliberately hid.

"Here you go down in front of it, then later you take a public vehicle. Papa's in a hurry to get somewhere."

"Yes pa."

Then he dropped me off at a stop not far from there. I got off, and I waited for the public bus. Not long after that the bus I was waiting for arrived. I'll ride it right away. I took the right seat in front of the bus door.

In the course of my mind drifted to the attitude of the father earlier which I thought there was something strange and unusual. What is it, what is happening to Papa?..

Seriate...
