Love Made In Hong Kong

Part.53's. Echoes of Missing For Aini

Povs. Farenzy

The first month of 2020 is passing by gray. Not only because of a new disease outbreak but also because of the carelessness of my papa. Yeah, my papa was so sloppy. Why should he commit the affair. What he considers less than a woman like my mother. She's beautiful, smart, and talented. That my father has proven and felt for decades building a household with mama.

Although maybe what he did might be for him just a mere fad but without him realizing the fruit of his actions was very bad for himself, our family and even the company he and my mom started.

If only papa had not betrayed mama, surely he would never have been caught into this despicable problem. Sometimes if my disappointment with papa comes up, I feel like I want to scream. And cursing papa. Because of his stupid actions now me, my mother and also my sister Nasya must add to our busyness. Which we never thought about but now we have to do it. As here and there looking for lawyers and legal counsel for papa is also very time consuming. And it not only takes up our time but also takes up a lot of thought.

In this case, my mother suffered the most. Poor mama. He was deceived and used by his own spirit.

Ah, forget the business with my papa. Now I just want to talk about everything about Aini.

Since the outbreak of the disease called Corona, I and Aini have barely met. You can imagine how much my heart misses Aini. I miss his indulgences, miss his jokes with him. What's more since my father was dragged into cases I rarely even communicate with him even though only through messages or phones.

It wasn't on purpose I did, but my mood was still really chaotic. Even though the communication regime does not mean that I have less feelings for Aini. Not at all. I actually miss him a lot and that miss is even more when I'm alone.

I'm trying to figure out how I and Aini can meet. Nun seems like circumstances have not allowed a meeting between me and Aini. In addition to a considerable distance and having to go through several times the condition guard post that must be done even I think is still too busy. And the atmosphere of Hong Kong lately is still gripping as if it is a dead city.

But let it be so but do not let my love and Aini be affected by the bad situation that is now happening. So I tried to protect Aini even though it was almost midnight and maybe Aini was asleep in her sleep but my longing desire forced me to keep calling her.

Tut.tut..

My phone's connected, but there's no sign of Aini picking it up.

I tried to repeat the call but the result was the same. After three calls and all the results are equally no answer from Aini then I also resigned. Maybe it's true that Aini's sleeping. Thought.

I'll repeat the call tomorrow morning so I can hear Aini's voice that I miss so much. Saying my miss to him. Hug her and give her warmth in the cold of this winter. May my baby be present and adorn the dream in his sleep tonight. So that he could feel the longing that echoed in my heart.

As the light of the dawn turned red, it removed the dew on the snowflakes, dry branches are broken because they are not strong enough to hold the snow that has stuck since last night and has not melted and may never be liquid because even though the weather is bright but the cold temperature is still felt. Until the branch chose to give up and broke it. This might be the best way out, he thinks.

Although actually my eyes still have residual sleepiness last night but for the sake of hearing Aini's voice, the person I miss so much then immediately I take my salary. I'll call him right now. Oh my..! Move her heart to pick up the phone from me.

Tut.tut..

My phone sign came in and connected. And not long after that which I had been waiting for last night finally arrived. Aini really picked up the phone from me.

"Hello, Assalamualaikum mas." Her greeting from across there with a soft tone typical of Aini. The tone of voice that I miss so much and always miss.

"Yes, I just woke up. What's the matter when a morning tumben like this has called?"

"Hehehe... I'm sorry if I bother you. There's really nothing just that I miss you."

"Tu.kan mas this early in the morning has been mengombal just his work."

"I'm not flirting, even if you feel like I'm just feeling you're feeling, baby."

"Uh. basic. Look out for you, sir."

"How was it?"

"Let's watch out if we meet."

"Then if we see you what do you want?"

"I want to pinch her cheeks."

"Don't pinch donk. won't hurt."

"Let's go.."

"Kok you have the heart. Then I don't want to meet you.hehee"

"So he said kangen, I don't even want to meet."

Well, that's more or less our conversation this morning. Actually there is much more that we talk about because the duration of the phone we did was more than two hours. I didn't want to end the conversation on the phone. It was fun even if it was just empty and ordinary chats but it meant a lot to me to just reduce the weight of pent-up longing.

May this pandemic end soon so that I may quickly meet my heart. The outbreak of the disease originating from Wuhan is very dangerous, every day the deaths as a result continue to grow. But there is the latest news, he said the vaccine for Corona has been found by a team of doctors imported from various countries. And in China, where it is the country of origin has been planned to create a special hospital for patients with this disease.

And another sad one is reportedly Corona has also infected not only in countries in China but also has spread almost throughout Asia, and even the world is now anticipating the entry of this disease into countries that have not been indicated.

It's early February, where our condition here is in turmoil. Many workers and students from other countries are repatriated to their home countries. Our family is no less worried about hearing this news. What if we had to be sent back to Indonesia and then how the fate of papa. While papa whose status is not a suspect but is still awaiting trial and not allowed to go home whether we should leave, that is my current mind.

But there was little relief when the Indonesian EMBASSy stated that there was no coercion for Indonesian citizens in Hong Kong to be repatriated because Hong Kong was not the center of the disease outbreak. So we and our family chose to stay even in difficult conditions like this.

Seriate...
