My Little Girlfriend

36. Small Scratches on the Heart

"Sister, how does it feel to have parents? Said the little girl with a face full of curiosity. "I'd really like to have parents like a sister." He greeted expectantly.

"It feels like it's normal." Bian said somewhat confused to answer it.

However, because that sentence makes a Bian more able to appreciate both of his parents which was previously very difficult for him to get close, given the rigid nature of both parents. Kinan, makes a Bian appreciate the whereabouts of his parents.

Slowly Bian began to remember the pieces of his interaction with Kinan, who was none other than his little girl friend. After struggling with his feelings of anxiety and dilemma, Bian now thinks that he will only focus on what he is doing now. Last night he thought about it in his apartment.

He decided to return to Jogja after confirming his feelings and thinking all night. This time he returned alone unaccompanied by Dimas. He chose to leave at night alone. I don't know what made him change his mind by coming early.

Arriving earlier than scheduled, Bian arrived at the hotel after more than 1 hour of air travel. Once he arrived, he just walked into the hotel that still looks lonely because it was still early morning. However, inside the hotel there are still some hotel staff who are on duty.

Seeing the people they knew, made some hotel staff who were on duty look shocked. They said hello and wanted to take Bian back to his room. However, Bian immediately asked them to go back to work and ignore him, because he already had the keys to his own room.

"No need to deliver, I can go alone. You guys just go back to work." He said to one of the hotel attendants, then left in front of them.

All are mortals and do not dispute the words of the leader. As soon as Bian steps away from them, all whisper to each other about Bian's sudden arrival.

"Open he just left yesterday, huh?" Said one of the receptionist hotel staff, to a colleague beside him.

"True, how come he's back, huh? where's midnight like this?" Answer the fellow who was also astonished.

"Eh, but he came alone, didn't he?

"Yes yes too. I didn't see Mr. Dimas with her."

The two look at each other for being confused, considering that Dimas is always beside Bian wherever he is.

...

Bian entered easily into his room. The room was deliberately vacated for him and prepared especially for him.

The first thing he did after entering his room was to contact Dimas.

"Dim, I've reached Jogja. You come here tomorrow. No need to rush." Bian said from across the phone to Dimas, who was picking up his phone with a surprised expression.

Only that short sentence came out of Bian's mouth at Dimas, which still makes Dimas surprised by the news delivered by Bian in the middle of his sleep. In his room, he tried to check the clock on his phone, which turned out to still show at 4 a.m.

"She said she had arrived in Jogja?" Dimas was still confused.

With her eyes still half-opened, she tried to re-digest what Bian had said to her.

"What made him change his flight hours?." Say again.

Dimas began to rise from his sleep, and could no longer fall asleep because of the news. He slowly got up from his bed, then sat down on his bed for a moment to gather back the half-conscious soul.

...

In a different place and also a different location shows Bian who no longer feels foreign to his place. He was already beginning to be able to adapt and get used to his place.

Before the sun came up, Bian had only been silent in his room since his arrival. He was engaged in work as usual without caring about the morning and he just arrived from a journey.

For some reason, he seemed to be running away from a problem. He did not say much, his expression was flat without feeling, until his eyes seemed to be holding in sadness.

Library, it's the place to dock. He spun a little before dropping on a book and picking it up later, then reading it by the window.

While breathing the morning air that was still visible that evening, Bian focused on reading a book with several times silent staring at the book sheet. Although his body was there, for some reason his soul seemed to be left somewhere.

"What do I do here?" He was confused at his own attitude.

......................

Tong ... A bell rang from one of the apartments. Seen a woman with a beautiful appearance, trying to call the owner of the apartment. However, after a while he pressed his apartment bell, there was no reply from the owner of the apartment, until finally he chose to press his own password to immediately enter the apartment owned by his theme.

He entered casually and tried to find the figure of the theme. He even went into his room, having put the food he had brought on the table.

However, there was no one in the room, even though the results were still the same, empty.

"Where's the ball, huh?" Said the guest, who was none other than Adel, who was looking for Bian's whereabouts in his apartment now.

Adel was confused to see Bian was not in his apartment, considering it was still morning, which was 6 am. He deliberately came in the morning because he wanted to meet with Bian before his departure back to Jogja.

"Is he running off in the morning, huh? so it's not in her room?" He said again, guessing Bian's whereabouts now. "I'll wait, just time, okay?" He continued, then tried to sit and wait for Bian's arrival.

Not long ago he sat down, the sound of the apartment door opening made Adel suddenly stand up and try to approach him. He was half-running, yet his expression was shocked when he saw who had come. Not Bian as expected, but Dimas' assistant from Bian himself.

Both of them made shocked expressions, thus creating an awkward atmosphere.

"You came alone?" Adel asked Dimas who was standing in front of him. "Where's Bian?" Ask again while looking for the figure of Bian.

"Sorry, that's. Mr. Bian has gone to Jogja." Answer Dimas.

"Have you left?" Shocked Adel. "When? but, how are you still here?"

"The day he left. I'm still here, because there's still something I have to do." Reply Dimas.

Adel was stunned when he heard it, he could not believe that Bian had left him without saying goodbye.

"I'm sorry I had to go to Mr. Bian's room to pick up something." Dimas said to Adel.

"You..., when are you planning to go to Jogja?" Ask Adel again.

"Because there's still something I'm dealing with here, it still seems a bit bad."

There were not many words spoken by Adel after hearing the explanation from Dimas. He just left from the presence of Dimas without saying goodbye, to make Dimas feel confused himself.

Outside the apartment, Adel looks out overwhelmed with various questions and anxiety about the situation now.

"Dian doesn't care about me..." He said with sadness.

Adel tries to call Bian, but there is no answer there to make Adel restless.

"He's never ignored my phone before." His voice again stared at the screen of his phone with an agitated expression looking at the small change from Bian.
