Mystery of Small Shoes

26

Rudi had known Vina for a long time. Rudi had even considered her like his own sister. Their parents have been friends since they were young and their relationship has been like family. No wonder Rudi and his family are always in every Vina family event, and vice versa.

"Vin, there's a time, right?" write Rudi on whatsaap screen on his phone. Before long the phone was shaking.

"Time is always there, Bang. If there is no we will stiff kayak in the tablets (emoticons tongue stuck)"

"Serious thing, Vin. Some want you to ask Vina (emoticons worship)"

Vina is a little curious about the praying emoticons behind Rudi's last message.

"This means something serious" Vina thought.

"So serious, huh, Bang? About work?" write Vina.

"Yes, you could say that". Rudi lied a little so that Vina could not refuse to see him.

"Vina's work?"

"Later to Abang. Is there a time?"

"Of course there is. When will I see you?"

"When are you?"

"Okay, after work. How's it?

Rudi replied to Vina's last message with a two-thumbs up emoticon.

And the two-thumb emoticon ended their conversation on the chat app.

"Hi, Vin!" sapa Rudi's.

"Hi, Bang!" vina replied while looking towards the voice that greeted her.

"Old old?"

"Not long ago koq, Bang."

Rudi pulled the chair beside Vina.

""I'll order a drink first, okay? Thirsty. You want another message?"

"No ah, there is still. Just go ahead."

Rudi called the waiter and ordered a drink for him. Soon his order arrived. Rudi immediately drank it.

"What the hell is it, Bang? I think it's important." asked Vina curiously.

"It's not important, really. I just want it to be a little bit like you."

"On work? My work is being complained about, Bang? Severe mistakes? Well how is this? You haven't told me papa, have you?" Vina nyerocos relentlessly while shaking Rudi's arm.

Rudi laughed at Vina's worried behavior.

"No, just calm down, Vin."

"So yes, my work is being complained about? Oh my God, which job? I've reviewed everything before it was sent to the editor."

Rudi smiled amusedly at Vina's attitude, but because it was not pleasant with other visitors, Rudi tried to calm Vina down.

"Vin, Vina. Calm down. It's not about your job. You calm down, huh?"

"Didn't you? Keep what?" ask Vina curiously.

"I want to talk about someone."

"someone? Wh who? Our office guy?"

Rudi nodded steadily

"Office guy? Why not just HRD?"

"This is another problem, Vin. I need your help" explained Rudi.

"Gue's? Help what?"

"I want something about your friend."

"Which friend?"

"Sara? Why is he? Oh, I know. Yesterday Sarah said she was called to the CEO's office. Is there something wrong with him?"

"Nothing. Just want to know how he is?"

Vina used her evil smile to tease Rudi

"Something seems curious and needs important information? Wani piro's?"

"Geez, this kid! It has not lost its habit either. Yes, but I promise to help you, okay?"

"Ready, boss!"

Rudi began to ask things about Sarah's personal to Vina. But since it was already night, only a small part could be explained Vina, because Vina was busy teasing Rudi who looked curious about Sarah.

"Well, it's late, come home ah. I want to shower, keep sleeping. Look, the cafe is closing. Let's go home, Bang," take Vina.

Rudi as if awakened from his retirement over Sarah, he looked around the cafe that had begun to be quiet.

"Yes my. It's you, Vin. It's been a really big night. Not all of them are the same, but you have to go home."

They separated in the parking lot and headed to their cars.

"Tomorrow I'll ask you again, okay?"

"Sip, it can be arranged," Vina said as she gave her thumbs up.

Along the way home, questions about Sarah were still piled up on his head. Had Vina not teased him too much, maybe some other things he already knew about Sarah, even though it was a version of Vina who likes to talk while joking.

Arriving at home, Rudi's mind still remains on Sarah. I don't know why that figure filled his head. Unfortunately Vina just gave a little information. A cell phone on the table.

"Vin, can it be again?"

"Oh my goodness, Bang. I just want to fall asleep...morrow again, huh?"

"Just a minute, Vin."

"Yes, what do you want? Sarah again?"

"Yes anyway. She's actually a single?"

"I know so. Ih wonder very much. Do you like Sarah?? I told you Sarah, huh?"

"Don't, Vin. Don't just."

"Emang why? It's good, you can be."

"Let's go ahead."

"Why? Afraid rejected? It must have been rejected."

"Koq is that? He said he'd help."

"I think he's still traumatized."

"*T*rauma why?"

Lama Rudi waits for a reply to a chat from Vina, but the awaited does not reply to his chat. Of course, because Vina had slept soundly and left a growing curiosity in Rudi's heart.

***

The following days Rudi and Vina were often together and it made Vina's time with her two friends less. At first it did not concern Sarah, but after a few days Sarah began to want to know what makes Vina often disappear and rarely with them again.

Until one day Sarah saw Vina was with Rudi in a cafe not too far from the office. They look familiar and happy. Sarah felt very happy to see it, despite the missing taste and pounding her chest.

"May you be happy with her, Vin," Sarah said.

Sarah did not know that she was the one who was the talk of the two people. Seeing their familiarity makes Sarah happy as well as feeling lost. Losing time with Vina as well as other feelings of loss that she could never understand. He could only accept the circumstances and the feeling of losing her.

Actually Vina was eager to tell Sarah about Rudi who was looking for information from her, but Rudi always told her not to tell him. Vina also began to feel bothered because Rudi continuously invited her away. He had missed lunch with Feni and Sarah many times without giving them a reason. Vina was completely helpless in the middle of Rudi and Sarah.
