My Best Photo's

Whereabouts???

Applause rang out as Ben climbed onto the small stage set up there.

"Thank you for coming to my exhibition. I'm so happy because what I'm planning can happen today. This time, I told you about my life story through this photo. I've seen the photo object a thousand times I'm about to take but only with it my heart and hands shake every time I take the picture. I've been through a lot of wonderful moments in my life but just watching her laugh or get angry makes me realize that being with her is so much more beautiful than anything else. I've had hundreds of awards in my life because of the photos I've made but the best photos I've ever made are just pictures of him. Therefore the theme of my photo exhibition this year is MY BEST PHOTO. She's Maura Belinda, the most beautiful photo of my life. I love you, Maura...!" Ben gave his short speech, bowing his body, saluting the hundreds of people standing in the courtyard.

"Good fun" he said before stepping off the stage.

Faith, who saw Ben come down from the stage, couldn't hold back her tears. His hand had pressed Maura's number dozens of times but the woman did not receive the call either.

"Dear, stop. Maura can't be coming." Ezekiel grabbed the phone from Faith's hand and put it in her pants pocket.

" They're both stupid! Obstinately. They will definitely continue to feel pain because of that very different principle of love"

Ezekiel grabbed his wife's soft hand "Your life is enough. Let the rest of God decide"

Faith's face was still visibly irritated as Ben approached them.

"You're a fool, Ben!" faith said while hitting Ben's arm on purpose.

Ben smiled "She'll someday know"

Faith would talk again but one of her nannies called her. He soon left Ben and Ezekiel to meet his two children in another room of the studio.

"You're stubborn, Ben. What if Maura is really going to go back to Indonesia?"ezekiel asked as he looked at his wife who had left.

Ben took a deep breath "Means our story ends here"

"You're going too?" Ezekiel looked at Ben suspiciously.

Ben just smiled "I really did until tonight."

*************

After dinner, Ben returned to his room.

"Boss, are you going too?"

Ben lifted his face and looked at Luna. "Maybe. That's why I'll leave some work to you. I've put everything on our work agenda for 1 month"

Luna looks sad "You're going to go long?"

Ben smiled, "You guys pay me as long as I'm gone. It could be long, it could be quick depending on my mood."

"Boss, don't get your heart broken?"

Ben chuckled "If I had been a playboy, I might not have been heartbroken. But now, I'm not a playboy anymore so I might get heartbroken"

Luna just smiled blandly. "Boss spirit!" he said before he got out.

Ben felt lonely again. In her view their wedding ring with a broken heart. Then he called Mr. Leo, his mother's driver.

"Hallo, Mr. Leo, would you please pick me up at the apartment, would you?"

"Good, master!"

Ben stepped out of his room. He just wanted to walk to his apartment. Enjoy the night in the summer. Ben gazed toward the Thames, hoping to find a long-haired tomboy who had already stolen his heart. But the place is empty. Ben paused for a moment there, holding the guardrail. Her eyes were slightly closed, imagining Maura looking at her with that sweet face. He then continued his steps towards his apartment.

************

Luna checked all the doors of the room if they were locked properly, after which she prepared to go home. But his steps came to a halt when he saw who had just entered.

"Luna, where's Ben?"

"It's gone, madam"

"Where?"

"Don't know!"

Maura grabs her cellphone from her pants pocket and calls Ben but Ben's number is off.

Maybe Ben's home...

Maura decided to go to the apartment. But the corner of his eye captured the photos in the room where the photo exhibition was held.

His steps were directed there and he immediately fell down because his entire joints were like losing strength while staring at all the photos of him that were there.

Ben, is this all proof of your love for me? You secretly like to take pictures of me without me noticing.

Maura tried to get back on her feet. He stepped towards the photo. All the photos have Ben's handwriting on them.

The first photo was taken a year ago, when they first met on the banks of the Thames.

Ben WROTE: FIRST SAW AN ANGEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

The second photo, is a picture of him sleeping in a night club room, covered in a thick blanket without exposing his body which was then plain without clothes. Ben WROTE: JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM ASLEEP, THIS HEART IS PEACE.

The third photo is a picture of Maura when interviewed with The Crown. Although photographed with many people, Ben made the other face blur so that only Maura's face was visible.

Maura's tears were flowing more and more. It was like being torn to shreds staring at all the photos. Ben seems to capture many of their moments together. There are photos of Maura sitting on the sofa playing mobile phone, there are photos of their honeymoon in Medan, there are photos of Maura cooking in the kitchen with the caption: IT FEELS NOT IMPORTANT, BECAUSE EATEN WITH LOVE EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS.

Maura felt loved seeing all those photos. Ben's right, he doesn't have to say that he loves Maura, because love is quite felt.

Maura's steps stopped in front of their wedding photos. The sentence Ben wrote there was rather long: THE HAPPIEST DAY, MAKE YOU MINE FOREVER. I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU UNTIL MY LAST BREATH.

"Ah...hiks.." Maura's cry deepened. A million tortures seemed to tear his heart apart. He doesn't know if Ben can forgive him or not.

Let's just say he came when Faith called him. For sure he'll see this beauty with Ben next to him.

"Madam, this is Mr. Ben's speech video for you" Luna approached while handing over her phone. Maura looked at the screen. His hands shook so much that Luna immediately took over while continuing to point her phone screen at Maura.

"What have I done, God? I'm so stupid...stupid...!" Maura cursed to herself.

"Mrs, sir loves you very much. Hurry up and follow you to the apartment. Don't let the master go!"

Maura was surprised "Go?"

"Yes. You are planning to go abroad for a long time. He's even left us a lot of work."

Maura nodded. "Thank you, Luna" Maura ran away from the studio, climbed on her bike and drove to the apartment.

His hands trembled as he entered the code to open the door.

"Benn.....!" he shouted as the door opened.

On the first floor there were no people. Maura ran towards the second floor. But there was no one there either.

"Ben...where are you?"

Maura sat quietly by the bedside. He tries to call Ben back but Ben's phone is completely inactive.

Maura's hand opened the dresser drawer, where Ben used to keep his passport. Sure enough, the passport no longer exists.

Maura's chest felt tight. Especially when his eyes looked at the photo of Ben and Patricia in the desk drawer.

In his view the photo was carefully. The photo is true is a photo of Ben, but Ben with a slightly long bangs while Ben who is now, is Ben with a shorter haircut.

"Oh my God..I'm such a fool...! Ben...where are you?"

Maura's HP reads. It turns out from Luna "Mrs, try to call Mr. Leo, I heard that you asked Mr. Leo to pick him up at the apartment."

"Thank you Luna"

Maura felt there was a trace of hope for him. He immediately contacted Leo.

"Hallo mrs Maura" said Mr. Leo in a slightly surprised voice as Maura contacted him.

"Sir Leo, is Ben with you?"

"I'm home, ma'am. Mr. Ben I left at the airport 30 minutes ago"

"What's? Where's he going?"

"Master didn't say anything. On the way back he just asked that his vehicle be sped up because he almost missed the plane."

The HP Maura held fell by itself.

"Ben...did you leave me? Was the love statement you said just now a farewell?"

Maura was crying deeper. But suddenly he stood up. He's going to the airport. Who knows, the plane that Ben boarded had a delay in departure.

He drove back on his motorbike to the airport. Once there, Maura runs around like crazy looking for Ben's whereabouts.

After he did not find it, he headed to the information room.

"May I ask, within an hour this flight has gone wherever it has gone"

The girl in the information section looked at Maura confusedly "Very many misses.."

"Say name it !" maura said impatiently.

The girl looked at her computer screen and started talking.

"China, America, Australia, Singapore, Netherlands..."

Maura could no longer hear. He ran straight out of the airport. Her tears flooded her cheeks.

I lost Ben. I lost the greatest love of my life.

Maura increased the speed of his motor. His mind grew chaotic, his vision blurred until he did not realize that he was on the wrong path. He really cared for his ears when he heard the sound of so many car horns. He did not even realize that his motorbike had been hit by a car and caused his body to bounce into the air and then fall on the side of the road.
