My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)

Awal

Srakk....

Prak...

A cell phone slammed into a white wall. Not only cell phones, a laptop also became the target of anger, lightly thrown the object on the floor to cause a noise in the room. Fortunately, just a few days ago the room was fitted with soundproofing until the sound coming from inside the room was not heard until it came out.

Srakk....

With a single hand sweep all the objects that were on the table fell scattered on the floor. Important documents that were previously neatly arranged to be signed were scattered irregularly and partly wet by the coffee spill. Fragments of cups containing hot coffee are scattered everywhere.

Bugs!

Once again, with clenched hands he kicked his desk so strongly. The high man's hands and neck formed, a sign of so much anger in his heart.

A few minutes ago a waiter made an overseas call, contacting the man to inform him and the development of someone he did not want to hear and know.

This is not the first time the waiter has contacted him but will always end up with the same situation every time the call ends.

Any object that is nearby will be the target of his anger every time he hears the name of the girl he has met twice, the girl who made his emotions uncontrollable for seven years.

Geck...Geck...Tock....

"Excuse me sir, I brought the file you asked me to revise two days ago."

Bima who is the secretary of the man entered the room that was like a ship broke inside. At first glance he spread his gaze on the floor he passed.

The man she met was standing behind her, staring out through a glass wall on a crowded highway filled with vehicles.

There was no sense of wonder or desire to ask in Bima's mind to see the situation of his master's workspace. Not without cause, every time he found the room with a terrible condition he could already understand what was the cause.

Working for five years, accompanying his master here and there, taking care of his needs and always stand by every needed to make Bima so familiar and know his master. Including the circumstances before his eyes at this moment.

"Sir, this is the file you requested yesterday. Everything is in accordance with what you want and the client has also agreed to all the terms of the amusement park development cooperation. If there's no problem or anything else you can sign it right now."

Bima opened the file he brought and placed it on an empty desk.

"You're sure everything's appropriate and nothing's been missed?"

"Already, sir. If you need to, you can double-check the contents."

"You know if I don't want one mistake not even one small mistake I can't take."

"As always, you can trust me."

The man turned around, sat down in his chair and laid down his body. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a breath to regulate such great emotions.

He took a pen that was nailed to his suit and signed the file that Bima carried. Not a single glance of the man was fixed on Bima who had been standing waiting for him. Even after the signature was completed he turned his chair back to Bima.

Bima closed the newly signed file and retrieved it.

"Thank you, sir. Then excuse me and all today's schedules will be handled by myself."

There was no word from the man sitting behind him, he had closed his eyes.

"One more hour your new cell phone will be here soon."

Bima picked up a new smart phone three months ago he bought. Only three months ago Bima bought the phone but now it has been destroyed as an outlet for the anger of the owner.

"I'm sorry, sir."

Bima walked out of the room and stopped at her doorstep. He just took the SIM card and memory card while the phone he put in the trash can.

"Thirty minutes away, the latest phone with the best brand is in my hands, Bima told the person she called."

..........

Back in the room like a broken ship.

The man still closed his eyes, his memory returning seven years ago. The moment when his heart was sad and hurt because he had to let go and watch the first girl he loved with another man, at that time a problem happened to his family.

At that moment in broken feelings he tried to strengthen himself to attend his first love marriage. Without realizing it the details of tears soaked his cheeks when watching the scene in front of his eyes where a pair of brides said the sacred promise of marriage at the altar and witnessed many pairs of eyes.

Leo Geraldi Suntama's.

He wiped his tears, tried to force a smile on his face and stood up to congratulate the bride and groom.

As he tried to be strong and firm with reality before his eyes and started to step up his legs, his phone shook, someone contacted him.

Mamma.

The call he received came from his mother, the woman as if to say sentences that Leo could not understand.

Afraid of something happening, he thoughtlessly turned away from his first love's happy day and drove his car at a fairly high rate.

Still with a phone connection that remained connected Leo many times to calm his mother, asked him to speak slowly.

"Let's go home soon, ma."

Leo disconnected the phone and increased the speed of the car. The streets are getting jammed because it is time to go home from work.

Ting

A message entered Leo's phone but he was not aware of it because of the noise of the driver's horn in the middle of the traffic jam. The sad mood and the thought of his mother made him unable to focus on what was around him. All he knew was that he had to get home.

..........

"Mom, mama...., ma...?"

"Master," a male servant commonly called Mr. Asep approached Leo who had just got off the car immediately ran into the house while calling his mother.

Leo stopped in the living room, instead of finding his mother instead he found a girl in Junior High School uniform sitting on the sofa with both hands hugging a blue backpack.

As if frightened, the teenage girl looked up at Leo and stood up while continuing to hug her backpack. He nodded in silence.

Leo's eyes examined the teenager. She doesn't know him and no one in her family has a teenage daughter who was in junior high school.

"Sir Leo why don't you go to the hospital? Didn't Mr Ferdi have sent me his hospital address?" asked Mr. Asep who was confused to see the whereabouts of his employer's son was actually home.

Leo opened the contents of the message that was meant by Mr. Asep and without saying anything he ran and headed to the hospital according to the address sent by Mr. Ferdi, his papa confidant and their family lawyer.
