Painting Images With Light
The Part 53
Until Bagio with Citra arrived at a lesehan restaurant, which provides a burnt-out food menu, Citra still looks restless.
Image Consciousness was even as if it was not inside his body, which was sitting face to face with Bagio right now.
"Is there something you're thinking about?" ask Bagio carefully.
"You can talk to me about it, if something bothers you," continued Bagio, before Citra answered her question.
"Eh! ... Nothing" Citra said, looking a little jolted.
Although Citra says no, but its movements, still show the opposite.
The image stared at the paper, which read whatever food and drink, which was available in the place, for a long time, but he did not choose any of the menus listed there.
"What do you want to eat?" ask Bagio.
Bagio had already mentioned his order to the guard of the restaurant, who had been standing near them earlier.
And the keeper of the restaurant, now also still waiting for Citra, to make his order.
Bagio's question, again made Citra look surprised, then hurriedly mentioned, what food and drinks he wanted.
After the guard of the restaurant, passed away from there, Bagio then said to Citra.
"Navig ...! I'm not a pushy person. But, your movements right now, just make me feel anxious."
While speaking, Bagio looked at Citra fixedly, to see how the woman reacted, upon hearing the words of Bagio.
"Can you talk to Sucitra?" ask Citra, then quickly continue her sentence, before Bagio answers her question.
"Of course you can talk. Are you living in a room?! ... Hm ... What's he ever tell you?"
The image looked hesitant as it spoke to Bagio, as if there was indeed something he was hiding from Bagio.
"We work together, with different schedules. If you can meet, at least for a moment, when it is almost hours of sleep....
... There is not much we can talk about, because usually, we are both sleepy" replied Bagio.
The image then nods its head, looking up at the table.
"Why indeed? ... Are you friends with him?" Bagio tries to lure Citra, with questions that trap it.
"No idea what to say. Because if you say friends, while we are both not familiar....
... But we did meet often, when I was still living abroad. I don't know if he's back here" Citra replied.
"Sucitra came in at Dorm, already a few weeks ago," said Bagio.
"I have his cell phone number. You don't want to talk to him? Maybe, it can be to remember the past, or just a pleasantries," continued Bagio, giving advice.
"Not yet, deh! ... He must also be busy working," Citra said, immediately rejecting Bagio's offer. "Do you know where he was going?"
"Said earlier, he was going to the pub" replied Bagio.
"Ooh!" The image then looks mangosteen understand.
The diner guards who served the two of their food to the table, brought the conversation between Bagio and Citra to a standstill.
And when they began to talk again, while enjoying the food, the discussion that they both talked about, had discussed about other things, and did not mention Sucitra at all.

"Nriv! ... Kriei!"
Bagio's phone suddenly rang, right after Bagio finished his dinner, making Bagio quite surprised, and hurriedly checked the thing.
Hana who is now calling Bagio, and it feels like a tumben once, until the manager of Bagio, contact Bagio in the current hours.
"Nlh! ... Wait, huh?! Hana called. I got the phone first!" bagio said, and Citra immediately nodded, giving her a sign of approval.
"Hello!" sapa Bagio's.
"Hello, Bagio!" Hana greeted from across the phone.
"Yes, Hana! What's up?" ask Bagio.
"You're going back to the village, right?" hana said, who asked back.
"Yes ... If there is time, I want to go back to the village, let it be only a day," replied Bagio.
"Tomorrow you can go. But you have to try, so that the day after tomorrow morning, you are ready to work again," said Hana.
"Eh? ... Don't I have a schedule tomorrow?" ask Bagio, astonished.
"The other one's off. The other one, however, was delayed. The picture was taken the day after night....
... So, tomorrow your schedule is empty. But the day after tomorrow, you have to work until midnight" Hana replied.
"You can go home, but don't get tired. You can't be late to go back to town....
... Try tomorrow night you have returned to Dorm, so that the day after tomorrow, your work is not disturbed" continued Hana.
"OKay! Equals ... Bagio! Be careful on the road!" hana said again, still telling.
"Yes," said Bagio, then disconnected the phone from Hana.
When Bagio kept his phone back in his pants pocket, Citra asked, saying,
"What's up, until Hana calls you?"
"Tomorrow my schedule is empty. I plan to go back to the village. So, tomorrow's the chance" replied Bagio.
"So, huh?!" citra. "What do you wear, if you go to your village?"
"wear bus. If I take the morning bus, I'll be there by noon" replied Bagio. "Yes, good! There's a little time before grabbing the afternoon bus, to get back here."
Citra was then seen drinking a little iced orange from her glass, then again said,
"Tomorrow I have no urgent work. Do you mind if I come with you? We can just use my car. No need to take a bus."
"Eh! ... Hm ... It's up to you. But aren't you tired of driving that far? I can't take turns with you, loh!" sahut Bagio, feeling a bit hesitant.
"How many hours drive, get there?" ask Citra.
"If you use the bus, about five hours," replied Bagio.
"It could be then. If I'm tired, we can rest on the road. I want to take a walk in your village. All of you look around there," Citra said, seeming pushy.
"Okay!" bagio said, approving Citra request.
"I will pick you up tomorrow morning, around seven," Citra said, making a deal with Bagio, and Bagio agreed, with Citra's invitation.
***
Other than dinner together, nothing else was done by Bagio and Citra, that night.
They just sit in the restaurant, even though they both have finished their food.
The image did not even nudge a bit about photography, in their conversation, and was just busy asking, just in case anyone should Citra probably know, about the situation in the village of Bagio.
One of them that Citra wants to know is, is it possible that Bagio still has other family members, who live in the village.
But Bagio tells Citra that he has no other relatives, and Bagio tells about Kartono, who became his best friend for a long time.
Not too late at night, Citra had delivered Bagio back to Dorm, and it was also at the request of Bagio, so that Citra could quickly rest that night.
***
Upon arrival at Dorm, Bagio still took the time to move in the gym, so that the calories from the food earlier, can burn and not accumulate into fat.
After Bagio finished exercising, in his room still looks empty, because the other residents, no one has returned there.
However, when Bagio returned to the room after he finished bathing, Sucitra was seen already there with Juno, and Juno's partner.
Tumben once, Bagio could see all the occupants of the room, in such complete condition, at the same time.
Moreover, it seems that the three residents who became Bagio's roommates, look familiar with each other.
It was as if the three of them, had known each other for a long time.
However, if it is true assessment of Bagio, of course it is not too surprising.
Because Sucitra, as well as the two roommates of Bagio, is a model who has long struggled in the world of modeling.
So, it could have been if they had known each other, in the times before Bagio took part, in the work.
It's good that all the occupants of the room can get along, but there are other problems that arise there.
That is cigarette smoke, which almost makes the room dark because of it, even though the room window looks open to the maximum.
Sucitra, Juno, and Juno's partner, both enjoy cigarette smoke in the room, while chatting casually.
Several cans of beer, also seen there, and apparently also enjoyed by the three men, to wash their dry throats.
"How was your date?" asked Sucitra kelpada Bagio, sounding pleasantries.
"Eh! Has Gario got a boyfriend?" asked Juno, who looked like a surprised person.
"Yes ... The boyfriend, Madam Sally's son," Sucitra replied, without burden.
Bagio who had just finished getting dressed, then sat down at the end of his bed.
Bagio intended to just join for a while, so that the people in the room were not offended, if Bagio just lay down, and as if he ignored them there.
After a while, Bagio who listened to their conversation, and felt that there was a gap in their conversation, Bagio then said, saying,
"I'm sorry ... I can't stay up tonight. The plan is tomorrow morning, I'll be back in the village."
"Oohhh! ... Okay! Go to sleep first! But, is it okay if we're still chatting here?" Sucitra.
"It's okay. Just relax!" sahut Bagio, then immediately lay on his bed.
