Time To Go

There is one strange thing that happens when they spend time together. Time seems to pass very quickly. Every minute is like getting closer but at the same time scary. How if in the end everything doesn’t work out?

Ratih decided to return to the early morning aircraft. I don't want everything to be harder than before. They meet again. It also takes time to adapt. 

Decided to leave the letter in the lobby. If Krishna comes looking for him.

Dear Kreshna, please,

Sorry I didn't get to tell you about my sudden return. There was a sudden notice of an empty seat at dawn. I don't want to miss it and burden you to take me to the airport. Even if I knew you wouldn't mind. But, please understand, sometimes too troublesome for others for some people is very uncomfortable.

Thank you, for all your trust, for sharing things that made me understand you better. But I think at the end of the day it's not about what we think or want or try. In the end, whether we live a destiny that has been outlined for us or not.

Thank you, too, you want to be more understanding and open in accepting different perspectives. Not questioning it anymore.

In the end, we as human beings can only try and pray but have no power to determine anything. In addition to living what is already His provision for all of us.

Not all of us must understand let alone criticize but everything we have to live must be accepted with all our heart.

Everything will be heavy. When we feel our desire is king. But all becomes light when we realize that our desires are but servants of what the Almighty has determined.

See you when I see you....

Ratih put his signature in the letter. Hurrying to push his suitcase towards the taxi base in front of the hotel. Take her to the airport on a cold morning. When all eyes are still sleepy and asleep. He chose his return when the day would begin.

Enjoy the whole day relaxing in the rented room. Until tomorrow it's time to get back to work.

Tania had been impatiently waiting for her arrival last night. Makes chuckling. He could hardly stop his laughter. Heard the story a week while Tania was working with Pras.

“He parroted the word wifi. Very sucks!”

“Not to be taken heart can you?”

“Can if only once twice. But if it's like a copier that copies a thousand pages?”

The laughter of Ratih.

“Hmm, you don't empathize! You enjoyed the torture he did to me!”

“Do not overdo it! Funny story. I don't mean to be unempathetic. Just relax, okay! Just reply Pras. Let it get more exciting or maybe be KO?”

“Big No! Excited what? What he has will increasingly make me as his moons.”

“Ok! Close ears! Close eyes!”

“Nabrak dong close eyes! If ntar is even touched how?”

Kontan Ratih back chuckled, “Leave his loss! Surplus what deficit. Like teeth returning. You guys are going to have to reply to each other!” Train laughs off.

“OMG! Not funny! When are you back? You're doing great there. Here I am tortured every day!”

“Tortured with love!” Train back to tease Tania.

“I'm starting to feel you two conspiring!”

“Do I conspire with Pras? Less work!”

“You like really enjoying what I'm experiencing?”

“Your story is funny!”

“I'm annoyed! Not joking!”

“Yeah! I know but your story makes me unable to hold my laugh.”

“Thank God, I know you well. I could be very offended by your reaction. Like having no empathy at all!”

“Already! No need to exaggerate anything! I'll be home by dawn tomorrow but I'll be at work the day after tomorrow. Because I need a break before I start working again.”

“Yeah! Ok! The day after tomorrow I can work from home huh?”

“Ok, thanks!”

“Your welcome.”

Arriving at the airport. Ratih decided to have breakfast before returning to his contract.

Breakfast at the coffee shop. Food that is not too heavy for the morning. Ordering a cup of vanilla latte and a piece of chicken pie. Looks appetizing. A bottle of mineral water. Ordering risoles smoked beef cheese eggs mayonaise, chicken lemper and cake *** two pieces each. To take home.

Enjoying the morning breakfast. Pastures. Sipping vanilla lattenya. Chew the chicken pai slowly.

Tomorrow the routine will start as usual. Vacation's over. His mind was completely fresh with the leave he took.

Hamdphonenya. Tanias.

“My vacation just ended tomorrow.” Radih.

“Yeah! I-i know. I'm just making sure you're there. I don't want to be here a day longer.”

Train chuckling, “Don't be like that. Be careful when it all turns to you!”

“No way! He is not my type!”

“It’s not a reason. Unless both of you did’t mean each other.”

“We are human. We can choose anything and everything.”

“Yeah, as long as The God didn’t governor the faith differently.”

“I don’t want to talk rubbish. I just want to make sure that you are here. And everything will be fine.”

“Ok!”

“Ok!”

Ratih closed his phone. Laughs amusedly at Tania's paddy. But he couldn't blame Tania completely either. Pras is often outrageous. Already have a lover. Still looking for another girl. Why choose Tania who is like living in her own world?

Maybe Tania's papa made Pras curious? Or because it's different from the girls he's ever known? I don't know?

After finishing breakfast in the morning. Pay for breakfast and a wet cake order to take home. Ratih rushed back to his rented house in a taxi.

At his contract. Put down the luggage. Take a break before cleaning the house he left for a week.

Home sweet home. Wherever you go, home is the best place.

Ratih changed his bedroom bed sheet. Then fuck her. Turn on the air conditioner and television in the room. His eyes swung and fell asleep.

He woke up when the clock showed ten in the morning. Get ready to shower and clean the house.

Sweeping rooms and all parts of the house. Mopped it. Decided to have lunch outside and shop because the fridge was empty. Deliberately emptied before taking a leave of absence.

Finish of zuhur prayer. Outhouse. Locking the door of the house and the fence. Walk to his dining place. Ordering rames rice with a glass of sweet iced tea.

Finish the lunch. Walk to the nearest supermarket. Shopping for food. Vegetables and other necessities.

Supermarkets and rented houses are not too far away. But he is troubled if he has to bring groceries to the contract. I decided to order gocar.

Arriving at the contract. Putting all his groceries in the refrigerator and storage. For the afternoon meal. He decided to cook rice and lay eggs. It is better to take time to rest than to go out for food.
