"Caramel, why are you?" Jane is surprised to see Caramel suddenly in front of her house with a chaotic appearance. Jane saw clearly the trail of tears on her best friend's face. Even Caramel's eyes are also very swollen as when he was just left by Rama.
Without answering Caramel directly into Jane's arms, he did not know where to start telling her. There was too much for Caramel to devote to Jane that she was confused. Now Caramel just wants to calm down by going somewhere far away.
"Let's go in first." Jane embraces Caramel's shoulder leading her into the house. "Sir, please enter Caramel's car." Jane turned her head for a moment to her security guard who was standing behind the gate.
"I'll take a drink first." Jane left Caramel for a moment in the living room to grab a drink.
Jane's attention was turned on her phone on the dining table with a sign of a message coming in. Jane poured the red guava juice into a glass and returned the rest to the refrigerator.
"Rapha?" Jane can't wait to open Rafka's message because Caramel's stiff husband rarely contacts her if it's not really important.
Jane, I'm near your house. I followed Caramel from behind. I don't know if Caramel has told you about our problems, but I'm asking you to take care of Caramel. I'm so worried about him, he hasn't eaten since noon.
Jane puts back the glass she holds to reply to Rafka's message.
You take it easy, I'll take care of Caramel. Mending now you go home, let Caramel be with me.
Jane put her phone in her pajama pocket.
"It just so happens that there's chicken keepsi." Jane snatched a packet of KFC chicken she bought this afternoon for Caramel.
Caramel lowered her face with her hands, she wanted to stop crying but could not. His heart felt very sick considering the incident last afternoon plus Rafka's speech that was very touching him.
"Well eat, you leave the house but don't bring food, do you?" Jane put food and juice for Caramel on the table.
"Where are the people fighting, get out of the house with food." Caramel's upset that Jane's still joking.
"Udah ya stop crying, mending now you eat first, drink juice let your body have more ingredients to make tears." Jane unwrapped the KFC and took out the contents of rice and chicken with a spicy sauce.
Caramel according to her, she was hungry especially after missing two taichan satay today. First satay that he bought himself the second satay made by Rafka. Surely Caramel wasn't meant to eat the taichan satay. He was born to eat KFC chicken.
"Gue's leaving tonight." Lirih Caramel while chewing rice with no taste.
"Where to?" Jane spontaneously turned her head looking at Caramel in wonder.
"Room."
"You're crazy!" Jane glared at Caramel's remark, "we've booked the ticket for the day after tomorrow why do you want to leave now?" A person who is upset cannot think clearly. "Aware Car, we want to go to Bali instead of Ancol, Bali is far away, you can not suddenly say you want to leave right now."
"Gue there are three tickets to Bali tonight mmm I mean from Soetta airport to Blimbingsari."
"Car, why the hell you're careless gini, we've agreed to leave the day after Rafka's holiday as well so he can nganterin you." Jane holds Caramel's arm to resuscitate her best friend, returning Caramel's senses to return to normal functioning.
"Same Lisa Diki left on schedule." Caramel remains in his position, he has bought three tickets at once for tonight. Although there is no plane that can take it directly to Bali but at least Caramel can go to a place far from Rafka.
"It just can't suddenly gini dong."
"If you don't want to be alone." Reply Caramel relaxed while chewing his favorite chicken skin. Either because of hunger or it is doomed but Caramel has spent one piece of chicken in a fast time.
Jane ruffled her hair in frustration because Caramel was unwilling to listen to her.
"Where can I see you again pregnant gini go alone." Jane's tone of voice rose, Caramel is indeed a stubborn person.
Caramel was silent as if focusing on eating when his mind floated far away somewhere. Even today Caramel can't think clearly.
"Emang what the hell is your problem with Rafka until you run here and now invite me to flee to Bali."
Caramel did not immediately answer he drank guava juice to the toilet so that the rice stuck in his throat could decline perfectly.
"I'll tell you a story on the street." Tukas Caramel finally.
"I used to talk to Doni." Jane moved from her seat leaving Caramel in the living room as she prepared to leave while discussing this with her husband, Doni.
******
The apartment felt very quiet without the presence of Caramel. When Rafka just entered his gaze was immediately fixed on the completely untouched satay taichan on the table. Rafka scooped his hot face, he was wrong for not believing in Caramel. But if it's wrong why Caramel didn't explain it to Rafka.
"Damn!" Rafka throws his phone in any direction and punches the wall repeatedly with emotion.
Rafka threw her body onto the sofa and stomped her pulsating temple. He can't calm down when Caramel isn't here with him.
Finally Rafka moved, took his phone back and contacted the CCTV surveillance department. Rafka wants to check the CCTV footage when Rama walks into his apartment, he wants to prove that Caramel is not lying.
Rafka is in a surveillance room where there are many CCTV monitors from all over the apartment. Several officers on duty gave Rafka permission to view the CCTV footage this afternoon.
"Around four in the afternoon, eleventh floor." Rafka mentions the time when about Rama entered his apartment.
Rafka's view focused on one of the monitors that displayed the condition of the corridor in his apartment unit.
"Stop stop." Pinta Rafka as she sees the figure of Rama who turns out to come out of the door right next to her apartment. "He didn't really move." He muttered, he thought Rama had sold the apartment to Joni but it was not at all. Rama still has full access to Kempinski's apartment. Rafka is not wrong to suspect Joni and Anna since their first arrival.
"Pak Rafka should change the password to enter the apartment because it is already known to others." Said the officer sitting in front of the computer.
Rafka nodded, it was so clear that Rama entered his apartment easily after pressing the buttons on the door, it meant Rama knew the password to enter their apartment. Maybe it was because Rafka used Caramel's birth date to make Rama easily know.
Rafka's hands clenched tightly to the reddened emotion, it felt like making Rama faint this afternoon was not enough for him. Rafka was supposed to destroy the man.
"I want this file to be handed over to the police." Pinta Rafka's.
"Good Sir."
Not only checking CCTV footage from the corridor, Rafka also checked CCTV footage inside the apartment through her laptop.
"Damn it!" Rafka cursed to see Rama enter their room. There was no CCTV in the room so Rafka could not see what was happening there. Rafka's gaze returned to focus as Caramel exited the room, shortly after Rama followed. Rafka sees Caramel throwing everything at the dining table and runs around the table. They seemed to be running towards the balcony.
"Armrggh!" Rafka groaned in frustration closing her laptop hard, throwing her body into the bed staring at the bright ceiling of her room. He hurt Caramel until she left the house. Now that Rafka feels empty, an apartment this size is very quiet without Caramel.
Rafka closed his eyes at the same time a drop of tears flowed without warning. Right now her feelings are mixed, sad, angry, upset and confused. Rafka wants to persuade Caramel again but Jane says Caramel needs some time alone. Rafka does not want his presence to make Caramel even more angry. Maybe Rafka will persuade Caramel again tomorrow when the wife's mood is calmer. Rafka understands that Caramel is devastated by today's events.
Caramel does look strong from the outside but actually he is very difficult to forget his heartache. Even Caramel took years to treat his wounds because of Rama.
Rafka's phone clinked short, the owner immediately opened his eyes hoping to get a message from someone named Caramel. Rafka snatched his phone and checked the message.
Rafka's clenched forehead reads a message from Jane.
Ka, maybe this is too sudden and a little unreasonable but this is Caramel's request. We went to Bali tonight, I stopped Caramel but he insisted on leaving now. He said he would go alone if I didn't want to.
Rafka's eyes rounded reading all Jane's messages, he immediately snatched the car keys to catch Caramel to the airport. Rafka must prevent Caramel from leaving, he must not let his wife go in a state of anger.
Rafka's car drove through the night, Rafka never drove this fast in his entire life but for Caramel he had to do that.
Rafka pressed the horn many times when there was another car in front of him to give way. It is no longer Rafka who is always calm in silence, he turns aggressive and impatient. He vented his emotions through a car horn.
Rafka's breath gasping for breath ran out of the car towards the airport area. Rafka hopes Caramel is still here. Even if you have to kneel down to get forgiveness from Caramel, Rafka will do it with all her heart.
Rafka ran here and there looking for the whereabouts of Caramel but the results were nil. But Rafka still think positive, this airport is very broad maybe Caramel is still here. Rafka should look for him more thoroughly.
"Caramel." Rafka keeps whispering Caramel's name hoping the wife is still here. He clenched his teeth firmly withstanding the cries.
"Sorry, are plane tickets to Bali still available?" Rafka asked the officer at the counter.
"Tiket to Bali has been sold out since a week ago to coincide with a long holiday end of the year." The female officer was friendly.
"There's no leftover? at all?" Rafka did not believe, he had booked the ticket since a week ago. Caramel is most excited to take a vacation to the island of the Gods so he has booked tickets for everything since long ago. But if those tickets had completely run out why Caramel and Jane could leave tonight.
"Yes, even tickets to Blimbingsari airport have also run out tonight, they will use boats to cross through the strait of Bali."
Rafka nodded in understanding, she turned her hair ruffled in frustration. I don't know how many times Rafka did that until the hair that is usually combed neatly is now not because.
"Why did you go Cara?" Rafka steps out with his lunglai body, not expecting that Caramel will go that far. Caramel should have brought that big suitcase. Now Rafka can no longer chase Caramel.
