NO DIGAS ADIOS (Don't Say Goodbye)

NDA -124-S

Selenia was busy staring at the phone screen during the ride home. He thought of his message to Tony that was read and never answered.

"Why do you love, how does it look so nervous?" chirps Adam. His left hand grabbed Selenia's arm and squeezed her slowly.

Selenia slid her phone into the bag and shook her head.

"Eee. I was tired and sleepy too," Selenia yawned. Pampered, he rested his head on Adam's arm and closed his eyes.

This sesorean shopping event is enough to make him happy as well as tired. Adam played a volume of music in the car that played the rhythm of shahdu, accompanying their journey home.

...🌺🌺🌺...

A few days later,

Selenia keeps her promise to Renata to play to the distro. He went to that place in the middle of Pak Tono. The reason he was desperate to go there, he felt bored at home because he did not have activities. Cia herself, this hour is still at school. Because even though the exam has ended, 12th grade students are still asked to come to school to sign papers as a complement to grades and diplomas. While specifically for Selenia, it was Bu Fani's duty to deliver hers to the house.

Renata welcomes Selenia with open arms. That afternoon the distro was quite crowded, so Selenia chose to sit on the sofa located in the corner of the room while reading the catalog, while Renata served the buyer.

Renata has two employees. So when the visitors are crowded, he is also busy serving. After the visitors began to decline, he approached Selenia while bringing drinks and snacks.

"Geez Ren, don't bother. I just want to play around."

"No, people just drink the same. Are you alone? It's usually the same...What's your friend's name?"

"Cia?"

"Yes, Cia. Where's she?"

"He's still at school" Selenia glanced at his watch. "It's still school hours."

"Oh yeah, you're on your own? Already home? Or... hehehe truant?" jest Renata. "Indeed, if the test is finished, it feels rich actually-can breathe the air libersss that is not it? You know, I used to do it too," his chatter that without him knowing made Selenia look down gloomily.

Renata does not know about Selenia who was disabled from school before the national exam. Selenia swallowed and smiled bitterly.

"Yes you really are. And now I feel so free. Just waiting for an announcement, but yeah deg-degan too..." Selenia sipped her drink. "But...."

"But what is a cell?"

"In fact, I was expelled from school two weeks before the national exam" said Selenia Lirih. Her heart still likes to feel sore when remembering those events - when Lala uncovers her secret in front of the class.

Renata's eyes widened and his mouth gaped to form the letter O.

"How serious? How can? Were you found out?"

Selenia smiled wryly. "It's a long story, but I'm lucky I'm still given the chance to take the same exam as the school. My study method was transferred to home schooling."

Renata looked at meu at Selenia. He grabbed Selenia's two hands and squeezed them slowly. This problem must have made Selenia down. But whatever it was - the things that got Selenia kicked out of school - she didn't want to ask further. It was Selenia's privacy that she thought did not need to be taken deeper.

"Thank God, I'm in the mood you still have this kind of opportunity," Renata revealed a smile. "Certainly? You have plans to go to college where?" he also sipped his drink and switched the conversation to not discuss the matter anymore.

Selenia shook her head slowly. "I'm going to college, and I want to sign up next year."

Renata frowned. "Why is that?"

"Of course I want to focus on this first Ren," Selenia pointed to her stomach. "I don't want to be in college for a few months, keep taking time off. So it's better next year."

"Oh yes you are," Renata reached out her hand touching Selenia's stomach. "Duuuh I like to gurgle if I see bumil gini. But.." his eyes looked at Selenia's face and body which he thought was becoming more and more contained.

"*By the way your weight gain how many kilos during cell pregnancy? More chubby* aja this cheek," Renata pinched Selenia's cheek anxious.

Selenia. "Don't ask any more. I've been traumatized if I saw the scales. I don't know, because after the first trimester, I've never been nausea again. So the wish is to continue."

"That was rich when I was pregnant with Nola. But no pa-pa anyway, that means your baby is growing healthy."

The tring!!

The bell coming from the door of the distro that opened made Renata and Selenia reflex turn their head. A group of teenagers came in and started looking at the clothes.

"Hold a minute, I served them first," Renata moved up and walked over to the customer who had just entered.

Selenia sipped her drink again. While opening the catalog, he occasionally steals a glance towards Renata who looks so active and friendly to serve buyers. Selenia shook her head in light of the past in which she had once been so jealous of the woman. Turns out Renata wasn't as bad as he once thought.

...🌺🌺🌺...

The boy was busy in his room, preparing some requirements for university entrance. He has already established his choice at one American university, the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). One thing that makes him sure he has to study abroad is. Because for him, it is impossible that he can move on if he is still in Indonesia. This place was too narrow to not see Selenia every time. Even after the events of that afternoon - as she sees Selenia and Adam in the mall restaurant - Tony is forced to block Selenia's number again.

Mr. Anton went into the child's room and watched the busyness. He accidentally stands on the edge of the door, waiting until Tony realizes his whereabouts. But alas, being too busy with the sheets before him, Tony was completely unaware someone had opened the door to his room.

"Ehm!" Mr. Anton cleared his throat.

Tony only looked at it briefly and then returned to struggling with his work.

Mr. Anton shook his head and approached Tony.

"You seem to be very busy, right?" Mr. Anton squeezed Tony's shoulder slowly. His eyes also looked at the scattered files on Tony's desk. "Where? Are you complete with the requirements?"

Tony mangosteen. "Dead wait for a diploma anyway Pa," he sighed. "Deg is waiting for this announcement."

"Papa believes you graduated" said Mr. Anton cheering.

"Mayen...!" Tony put all the files he had corrected into one folder, then put them in a drawer.

Mr. Anton turned Tony's body towards him. His hands held onto Tony's shoulders and he stared at his son's face.

"Ton, if this is your choice, Papa can only support and pray for you" said Mr. Anton. "Yes, although it is undeniable that Papa is actually heavy if you have to be far from you. You know for yourself, haven't we been together all this time?"

Tony looked back at Mr. Anton. The words spoken by his father were so deeply penetrating the recesses of his heart. It is true, all this time they have never separated in a long time and always together. But this time, for the sake of his future and heart, Tony must be willing to leave his father for a while.

"I know Pa. I'm sorry if this wish objected to Papa. But this has been my choice and decision. Just the do'a and support from Papa I asked for."

"You don't have to apologize, Ton. This is not a mistake. Papa will keep waiting until you come back and...." Mr. Anton did not continue his words.

"What Pa?"

"Until any moment, you are Papa's successor. Papa hopes that one day you can manage the company that has been pioneered by Papa from scratch, and develop it much better."

"Papa don't worry. This is my home, no matter how far I go, where I come back. That's why, now I want to find enough supplies so that someday I can manage Papa's company well. Because that's where I grew up. From Papa's hard work."

There were no tears Mr. Anton heard that speech. Before Tony wiped his tears, Mr. Anton hurriedly wiped them first. She had broken a promise - to never cry in front of her son.

"Thank you son," Mr. Anton hugged Tony tightly. "Papa believes you can. You're Papa's only hope."

...🌺🌺🌺...

Adam had just walked into Selenia's room and brought her a glass of milk, when he saw her lying helpless beside the bed.

"SELENIA?!!!" he shouted and reflexively released the glass containing milk that fell to the floor. "Cell... Build Cell! Why this?!" he patted Selenia on the cheek, but there was no response.

"BI YES!!! MR. TONO...!!!" adam called his assistants.

Bi Iyah and Pak Tono who happened to have not slept that night and were still chatting in the back room, were shocked to hear Adam's screams and immediately ran upstairs.

"YES GOD IS NON-SELENIAN??!!!" pekik Bi Iyah looked at the unconscious Selenia in Adam's lap. "Non Selenia why sir??" she cried and stroked Selenia's head in confusion.

"Pak Tono, get the car ready. We're taking Selenia to the hospital now!" adam's word lifted Selenia's body in her arms and carried her out.

...🌺🌺🌺...

Adam was pacing around in front of the emergency room with erratic feelings and thoughts. He's confused what really happened to his wife tonight? Why did Selenia suddenly become unconscious like that. All day she had not seen anything strange about him. And even this afternoon Selenia was still going to Renata's district. At dinner last night, he looked really good too.

What's the matter?

Miss Lisa, Mr. Edwin and Mr. Fendi came together. Bu Lisa got this news from Bi Iyah.

"Dam's? Why did this happen?? Is it the same Selenia??" Lisa cried and squeezed Adam's arm.

"I don't know ma either. I was just about to take milk to her room, but Selenia was unconscious." replied Adam trembling.

Mr. Fendi was also crying and agitated. He was so worried that something unwanted happened to his only daughter.

All those in the place were agitated. And more so Adam. Several times he saw the activity in the room through the small glass on the door, hoping the doctor would come out and explain what had happened to his wife.
