Painting Images With Light
The Part 68
Apparently, Citra really loves Bagio.
But precisely because of that, Bagio did not want to hurt him.
With the still unstable emotions of Bagio, Bagio would not, if he accidentally, act or say rude to Citra.
"Navig ...! Why did you come here?" ask Bagio.
"I miss you" Citra replied, without sounding hesitant.
"Can't you wait? At that time, I would have told you, that I'll call you first!" sahut Bagio's.
"It's been almost a month, but you never want to call me." The embrace of Citra felt tighter, and so did her face that she buried in Bagio's chest.
At that time, some models who had just got off the cars that drove them, were seen looking at Bagio and Citra there.
Bagio who was embarrassed by the gaze of the other Dorm residents, then carried Citra walking away from the gate.
The image lifted its gaze, and it was as if it was asking Bagio, who had led him to walk suddenly like that.
"Too many people here" said Bagio.
"Then we go to my car," Citra said, pointing to his car parked on the side of the road, not far from it.
The plan, Bagio will only let Citra get in the car, and he will leave it there.
But that was just until it became a plan for Bagio.
Because Citra opened the door of the car in the middle, then pulled Bagio in, and sat in the passenger seat of the car with him, saying, saying,
"I just want to be with you in a minute."
Bagio finally gave up.
"I'm still sweating, you know!" bagio said, reasoned.
But Citra instead forced, to sit on my back on Bagio's thigh, while hugging him tightly.
Inevitably, Bagio resigned himself, and joined in hugging Citra, while rubbing her back.
What should this woman do?
Bagio sighed deeply, then exhaled violently.
"You stay in my house, okay?" ask the image, suddenly.
"Eh! Image...!" Bagio didn't know what else to say right now.
"Where did you go with Sucitra?"
Citra's voice, not too clearly heard, because he was the one who spoke, while leaning his face on Bagio's shoulder.
"What? ... What did you say?" ask Bagio.
The image then raised his head, until he now became face to face with Bagio, then repeated the question.
"Where are you going with Sucitra?"
If judging from the tone of voice Citra, which can be heard by Bagio, it seems that the woman is now feeling jealous.
"We had gone to yoga practice" answered Bagio, slowly, so as not to arouse suspicion of Citra, turning into anger.
"Why do you want to be with her, but you don't want to see me?" ask Citra.
According to Bagio, Citra seems to have sunk into his jealousy, and most likely, it will become increasingly difficult to talk to him.
"You're still in the same room with him?" ask Citra again, although Bagio has not answered the question earlier.
"He helped me these few days" said Bagio hurriedly, trying to explain, for Citra to understand, and not to feel jealous of him.
Citra said nothing more, then went down from the top of Bagio's lap, and even got out of his car.
The door of his car, opened Citra wide, then stood outside while holding the door, as if Citra was telling Bagio, to get out of his car.
Bagio then moved out of the car Citra, and at that time Citra closed the door of the car.
Without lingering, and without saying anything else, Citra was seen walking to the driver's door, then into it.
Somehow, Bagio also just fell silent there, and did not think at all to stop Citra, until the Citra car passed away from there.
After Citra's car disappeared from his sight, Bagio then walked back to the Dorm gate, and rushed past it without stopping everywhere else, heading straight for his room.
In the room, Sucitra was not seen there, and according to Bagio's guess, Sucitra now may have gone to take a bath.
***
After Bagio finished bathing, and cleaned his clothes, then returned to the room, Sucitra looks to have been there.
Sucitra was still wrapped in a towel, and placed the phone on her ear.
When Sucitra saw Bagio, it was as if he was talking about something with someone on his phone, whom he did not want the conversation to be listened to by Bagio, then walked out of the room.
Bagio had finished folding his clothes, had even put them in the closet, when Sucitra opened the door again, and entered again into the room.
It seems that Sucitra has finished talking on her phone, because Sucitra just holds her phone just like that, as she walks towards her wardrobe.
"You didn't fight with Citra, did you?" said Sucitra, while wearing his underwear.
"No," replied Bagio, perfunctorily.
Sucitra was seen hanging up his towel, and now he was wearing a t-shirt, and shorts, walking over to Bagio, who was already lying on his bed.
"You've already said, if you don't want to be a burden to Citra. But my advice is, you can't keep avoiding it" Sucitra said.
Bagio then sat down at the edge of his bed, where Sucitra was currently sitting.
"The more people you can talk to, the better for you. Don't you know that?" Sucitra.
"Don't refuse help! Heavy loads, will feel lighter, if carried together," continued Sucitra, advising Bagio, while laying his body on the bed.
***
Hana had already cleared Bagio's schedule today, and if he could quickly get his turn, then Bagio would have plenty of free time today.
While waiting for his turn to audition, Bagio rethought, the words spoken by Sucitra last night, which were still ringing in Bagio's ears.
Because of Bagio who was thinking too much about it, Bagio to the point of not paying too much attention to the movements of other models, who auditioned to shoot a snack product advertisement.
When it was his turn to be called to show his ability to act, according to Bagio, he did not do it to the fullest.
Bagio did not feel nervous at all, but rather, just because he felt less concentrated.
That way, Bagio considers that the audition this time, really only for the trial only.
Thank goodness that Bagio could be chosen, but if not, it would not be a problem for him.
After Bagio finished the audition, outside the room, it was not just Hana there.
The well-dressed image was standing with Hana, and apparently, she was waiting for Bagio there.
"I've already told the agency car to leave. So you and Hana, just go in my car," Citra said, then turned around and walked out of the building where Bagio was auditioning.
There were no warm hugs, nor sweet smiles from Citra, and there were only serious facial expressions and tone of speech, which she showed to Bagio.
Bagio who was still stunned to see Citra, almost unable to move, until Hana pulled Bagio's arm, to walk with him to catch up with Citra, saying,
"What are you waiting for?"
"Where are we going?" tanya Bagio while walking with Hana, at the back of Citra.
"don't know. Just follow!" answer Hana.
***
Along the way, Citra still did not want to talk anything, and so the look on her face, which still looks stiff.
Citra did not even want to glance at Bagio, even if only once, and still stared straight at the street in front of him.
It turned out that Citra brought Bagio to the police station, where Mr. Harto, Sarimunah's father was detained.
"Why are we here?" ask Bagio.
"Sucitra told me everything. And I think that advice is good for you" Citra said.
Although the words from Citra did not answer Bagio's question, but Bagio did not think too much about it.
Bagio can actually draw the conclusion, that most likely, who became Sucitra's interlocutor on his phone last night, it was Citra.
"You make peace with that person, and then you ask for their compensation, for the peace treaty....
...Hana has calculated the total cost of your treatment at the hospital. Include with estimates, which you may still need for psychiatric expenses....
... If they do not want to give the money you ask, just tell the person, to get ready to languish in prison for a long time," continued Citra.
