My Choice of Woman

Episode 41

Ray was ready to wait for Farah at the stop near Ilham's tavern. This time Ray's car and the driver parked far enough around the stop, Ray did this if later Farah desperate to order a taxi online and leave it like yesterday, he could chase Farah with his car.

Ray sat at the stop carrying a red rose and a box of gifts with luxurious and expensive necklaces. He had prepared this gift this afternoon. Ray hopes Farah will accept it.

Ray glanced at the circular watch in his arms. At 22:15 but Farah has not come to this stop. Ray was still patiently waiting, he had yawned several times, a little sleepy. Several times the bus stopped because Ray was seen sitting at the stop, but Ray always refused the bus that stopped it, because he did not want to ride it.

While waiting for Farah, Ray who was sleepy was finally asleep in the stop chair. His hand was still clutching a rose and a box of cards. He was sure Farah was still in the store.

The umpteenth time Farah tried to call Ilham, there was still no answer. He surrendered. Farah wiped her wet eyes, trying to cover up the sadness that emanated clearly on her face.

Farah looked at the wall clock hanging in the corner of the room Ilham , already at 23:00. He had to go home soon, he did not want to miss the bus, because the bus operated until 23:45.

Farah walked out of the tavern to the nearest stop, not expecting the night to be late. Arriving at the stop, Farah sees Ray sleeping curled up in the chair, and Farah believes Ray is waiting for her to fall asleep.

Farah tried to sit near Ray's head, seeing Ray look exhausted. There was also pity in Farah's mind.

“Didn't he bring a car?” farah Guman. He didn't see Ray's fancy car around this stop. “Surely she took the bus.”

Farah finally ordered a taxi online for Ray, even he also paid for the taxi using digital money that he clicked from his mobile phone. The bus was almost coming from a distance.

Soon the bus arrived at the stop where Farah was standing, then he got on the bus and sat down near the bus door.

“Gosh! That guy is still at this stop?! Though I had stopped at this stop an hour and a half ago,” said the bus driver shortly after Farah entered.

“Maybe she waited for her lover, to the point of falling asleep like that,” said the bus stewardess.

Farah overheard the conversation between the bus driver and the bus stewardess, she felt a little guilty about Ray waiting for her to fall asleep.

The black car stopped in front of the bus stop near the cafe, the driver of the car came out, apparently his prospective passengers were asleep. He had received an order from his app and there was a special note from the booker that he would be carrying a male passenger waiting at a bus stop called Ray.

“Sorry Sir, Sir, Pak woke up ..” said the online taxi driver while slightly shaking the body of his prospective passengers.

Ray flew over, he was still not aware of the situation. He rubbed his eyes slightly reddened by the shock of his sleep. Ray also felt his body ache all because of sleeping out of place.

“Is this really Mas Ray? I got an online taxi order in Farah's name, and she booked this taxi for the man waiting at the stop,” explained the online taxi driver.

Ray was trying to digest the words of this online taxi driver.

Whaaat! Farah ordered this for me? Then where is he?

“Where is Farah?” ask Ray.

“Sorry Mas, when I came just saw the mas alone at this stop there was no one,” replied the taxi driver online.

“Sorry Mas, let's leave now?” ask the taxi driver online.

The question of the taxi driver online was to break Ray's daydream. He took a few hundred thousand from his wallet.

“This sir, I did not take the father's taxi, just consider it a replacement money because I canceled the order,” said Ray while offering money to the driver.

Farah had reached home, she felt the house was empty without its owner. He also looked at the door of the room of Inspiration and knocked on it hoping that Inspiration would open this door. Right this is just Farah's fantasy. The room was uninhabited.

Farah Gontai stepped foot into his room.He again called Ilham's number, still the same no answer. He saw hundreds of short messages read nothing else answered.

To drive away her loneliness, Farah listens to the radio she spins through her phone. He did not intend to sleep. He just broke his body while listening to the radio announcer talking.

“Good listeners, there is a merequest song from Amigdala, the title ... There's More Powerful Than June's Rain. Greetings to all listeners who are drowning in the sea longing. Original ... very much his words! Okay... thank you, this song will play, happy listening ....” said the radio announcer.

Farah listened to the song, she did not know the song and tried to understand the song that was playing.

There ... which is more steadfast ... of the June rain ....

Namely women ... who are spiked miss .. and willing not to be paid ...

Farah listened to the lyrics of the song. He felt that the song was quite representative of his longing feelings. Farah's eyes were dripping clear crystals coming out of that corner.

Ray got out of his car. He was a little tired and tired. He decided to sleep in his room.

Mr. Sudiro as his loyal servant is not out of thought with the behavior of his employer lately. Yesterday he saw his young master coming home with a lot of sweat. Earlier this morning Mr. Sudiro also saw Ray coming home drenched. Now he saw Ray upset with a tired look.

Mr. Sudiro asked this to the driver who just drove Ray. He heard that tonight his young master fell asleep at the stop while waiting for a woman he liked.

Even though the nights before getting to know the woman, Ray often came home because of a heavy hangover, the smell of alcohol smelled from his mouth. Or often bring home women to be Ray's entertainment. If Ray was angry he could have been cruel making the woman he was carrying was the target of his anger.

Ray threw his body in bed. He looked at a rose and a box of gifts for Farah. He threw it away in the corner of his room. He could not figure out why Farah could do such a thing.

“Is she a different woman than most women? He is not crazy with property or office. She's just a very simple woman,” Ray's girl.

Ray thinks it's not a fancy thing that Farah wants but a beautiful simple thing. Ray looked at the sky of his room with a luxurious architecture. He remembered Anne who loved the cake made by Ilham.

“What Farah also includes women who like to bring my own food?” ask Ray to himself. He remembered that he could not cook something delicious.

“Tomorrow I will try,” said Ray before he fell asleep.
