PH-10
For the umpteenth time, I glanced back at the clock stuck to the wall near the sofa. It was already over half an hour from the time Satria came home from work. He's overtime tonight or what? not usually also Satria do not give news kayak gini. I was worried and it was clear.
I bit my lower lip, hesitating whether or not to contact Satria. After much deliberation, I finally decided to contact him first. But, I think I seem to be overprotected once huh? Though maybe Satria again in the street or again meet someone, maybe. The last thought made me uncomfortable.
I clucked and grunted in annoyance, yes the fool with those vague thoughts. I quickly searched Satria's number for immediate contact. After that, stick my phone to my ear to wait.
“halo, yes May?” satria's voice rang out across there, after a second waiting tone.
“iya Sat..”
“what's the matter, Meisha?”
“....” I kept quiet for a while, back biting my lower lip. Doubtful, I should not ask him what time he will be home?
“May? Meisha....” The voice sounded soft, with a calm tone as usual
“em.. nothing at all, that is.. Just want nanya aja” my word stamped. I thought for a moment, this is why I feel like a teenager?
“you came home late or what? You see..” I continued, and my words were cut off when a familiar low laughter sounded across. I'm gnawing, what's really funny? I was suddenly badmood.
“but because it's stuck, so I haven't got home yet. This is also again on the road, ten more minutes until” continued Satria.
I feel relieved, as if my last thought was totally wrong. “oh okay. Yauda be careful huh?” say
“iya, be patient…. Saayang”
Breakup. Her phone connection was cut off, making me wonder what I heard. The last word that Satria said, I doubted my negation. I heard wrong hallucinations or what?
I gasped in shock, the sound of knocking on the door made me jump out of my seat. The voice was heard again, more urgent and seemed impatient. I glanced at the wall clock, it had only been two minutes since Satria hung up. There is no way it is Satria, even more so for what Satria knocked on the door of all houses.
I got up from my seat, suddenly there was an uncomfortable feeling and a little fear that plagued me. There was something strong, holding me back from not opening the door, but the fear grew more disturbing until the sound of the knock grew louder. I finally decided to throw away all my bad feelings and walk towards the door.
“who?” ask before turning the door handle. There was no answer, only one more knock on the door, indicating that there was indeed someone behind there waiting for me to open the door.
I exhaled once more, steadying my heart and calming down. Convince myself that there is nothing to fear behind the door in front of me. And it turned out that I was truly sorry to have thrown away all my hunches and convinced my heart to open the door.
“helo, Ranielle...”.
