Queen Kepo

Queen Kepo
17. Regrets in Bandung City



...Like this Bandung sometimes there are laughing at the end there are also busy hiding the wound in the corner there...


The queen bit her lower lip. Fear runs through his body. All of this is one of his brothers who could leave the Queen alone in a cafe located far from his home.


The beginning of the story is Bang Raka who is the Queen's only brother invited the Queen to dinner at the cafe owned by his best friend. But because Bang Raka suddenly on his girlfriend's phone for some interest, then Bang Raka with his moor left the Queen in this cafe itself.


With the fingers tapped on the Queen's table looking around this cafe, hopefully there are people the Queen knows. Because tonight is his unlucky night, other than because Bang Raka just left him, Bang Raka also forgot to give the Queen the money to pay for the food that the Queen had eaten should Bang Raka know that the Queen did not bring any money.


The decision to leave this cafe has crossed the Queen's mind several times but the Queen also knows that she has to pay for the food she just spent. Both the Queen's eyes looked at the dishes and glasses that left only food and drink scraps. It made the Queen even more frustrated.


The Queen again circulated her eyes to find a solution and sure enough the Queen saw a mother-mother was calling someone. From there the Queen decided to call someone to help her. Thank God for giving way through the mothers, the Queen thought.


The queen took her phone from her little black bag. The queen seemed to think for a moment to determine who she would ask for her help. Her brother's name is not included, because the Queen believes her brother is now on the road and is unlikely to answer the Queen's phone call.


Candras. The name flashed through his mind and the Queen immediately sent Candra a message. Because if you call the Queen, she doesn't think the pulse will be enough. The Queen quickly typed in a message to Candra's phone number and sent it straight away.


The queen was a little relieved. But that doesn't ensure that he will survive. Because Candra might not come and make the Queen threatened here. May Candra come soon, the Queen prayed.


The Queen exhaled her coarse breath as if she was releasing all her burdens. Some countries may the Queen drown her face on both hands that she folds. Drowsiness approached her and the Queen could not refuse not to sleep.


The queen closed her eyes. The music from the cafe singer makes Rau feel like a booby dinina until within seconds he was asleep.


"Ratuuu"


The voice of a person sounded faintly in the senses of his listeners. Maybe that's part of his dream the Queen thought then she ignored it.


Several times the name of the Queen sounded faint and several times it was also the Queen ignored her.


"Awwww" cried the Queen with both eyes still closed. Between conscious and not she screamed in pain as she felt a pinch on her right hand.


Slowly the Queen opened her eyes. And either this is dreamland or real nature. Both the Queen's eyes met with both eyes belonging to someone who was like a stranger, but the Queen forgot her name. The man's gaze pierced both of the Queen's eyes while pulling one corner of her lips and said


"Let's go home"


The newly awakened queen from her brief slumber turned her eyes back to trying to remember what had just happened before she fell asleep.


As the Queen remembered, she asked Candra to come here, but why did the one who came was even a man whose Queen forgot his name.


"Lo who?" The queen ventured to ask like that in a defiant tone, when deep down she was now in fear not playing.


"Gue Deva" he answered briefly.


The queen still has not remembered the name and the person. Rau looked at the man who he said Deva, he had a tall body slightly filled and a handsome face with a sharp nose and also there were one, two, ahh three pimples around his forehead and cheeks.


"Well home, it'll be raining"


The queen frowned after hearing Deva's words. Just opened his mouth to ask, a distinctive voice belonging to Deva has been heard making his lips tightly closed.


"Sister you ask for my help to make anter lo go home and your food can be paid later with your brother. Is that what you want to know?"


"No. I do not know who you are and can make you a plot of kidnappers or perpetrators of such crimes. With the lo mode as my brother's man" the Queen accidentally cut her words when suddenly her right hand was pulled Deva.


"My name is Deva. The same school. I am in 12th grade. And I'm the younger brother of the one who owns this cafe which means our sister's a friend. Are you clearly his acquaintance?" Deva shakes hands with the Queen and of course it is because of Deva's coercion.


Without any more conversation, Deva immediately pulled the Queen to follow where she was going.


Until finally, they arrived at the parking lot. Deva released her hand from the Queen's hand. Deva opened the door of her car and without hesitation the Queen went straight in.


...*...


"Let me go"


After saying that, Gavin immediately left from Kossan Candra. Lately Gavin has been numbering the Queen on everything including himself.


Candra was eager to reply to the message the Queen sent. Unfortunately Candra knows if the balance of the pulse is insufficient. So all Candra can do is pray that Gavin and the Queen are okay.


Though Candra was asked for help by the Queen but instead Gavin who would help. Candra thinks Gavin really loves the Queen.


In a different place, Gavin was riding his motorcycle at an above average speed. The Queen's brief message made Gavin even more worried about the Queen's plight. Gavin has to get to the cafe. Gavin must save the Queen. Gavin also doesn't care about tonight, which looks like it's going to rain.


Sure enough, raindrops began to fall on the ground. Gavin ignores the rain. Gavin keeps pushing his motorcycle, splitting the road tonight. Rain falls on her body, and on Gavin's head is only the Queen's name.


After passing several turns, Gavin finally arrived at the cafe that the Queen intended. Soon Gavin parked his bike and immediately ran towards the cafe.


In his soaked clothes, Gavin ventured to ask the cashier about the Queen's whereabouts. The results were disappointing because the cashier said at the cafe, the Queen had been delivered home by the sister of the owner of this cafe.


Gavin got out of the cafe and ran towards his bike. Gavin rode his motorcycle back to Kossan Candra. No matter the rain and no matter which Queen has gone.


Gavin only realized that the cafe he had just visited was the cafe that Gavin did not like the most. Gavin was truly sorry to have set foot in that cafe.


Big question marks stuck in his mind, why could Deva take Queen Pulanh. Because as far as Gavin knows they don't know each other.


Deva is one of many people on the list who Gavin will never forgive for a lifetime.  Instantly remembering the name Deva, little by little the mass gap then let Gavin enter it.


All about the past is the thing Gavin wanted to hate most of his life. Where Gavin almost lost everything. But forgetting something you hate takes a long time. The heart does not easily forget the pain, maybe that's the reason.


Gavin hates Deva.


...*...


The Queen has arrived at her home safe. It was fortunate that he came home in the car so that the rain did not wet the Queen at will. The queen walked into his house.


"Where is Dad?" the Queen shouted as she spread her legs.


"For some non-business" replied the aunt from the kitchen.


The queen just nodded her head. It's common for Father and Mother to be home less often. The queen has a disclaimer for that.


"Tuu" the voice with a slow tone was a little hoarse making the Queen turn her head.


He looked at the man sitting on his sofa. The man also returned the Queen's gaze with a smile. After a few seconds the Queen diverted her pandaag and walked towards the sofa.


"What is malem-malem?" The queen sat next to the man. It was clearly visible from the Queen's face, if she did not like the man coming to her house at night like this.


The man looked at the Queen's face, noticing whatever was on her face. Be aware if the Queen doesn't like to be treated that way. The man stopped paying attention to the Queen and chose to lower his head.


"Gue was willing to say goodbye" said the man making the Queen close her lips.


The queen tried to be as normal as possible, but deep down in her heart she was in pain, her heart was racing again.


"Tomorrow I went to Jakarta and I moved here"


"Why ja?" the Queen asked, her eyes daring to look at the man named Raja who was her first love.


The King returned the Queen's gaze, there the King clearly saw the Queen with tears in his eyes. Perhaps the tears that the King saw were those of the Queen who was afraid of losing the King or because the Queen did not want the King to leave. But if that possibility is true, why has the Queen never considered the real King and all this time the Queen has accustomed herself without the King even though the King insists on returning the former Queen.


"Maybe my decision to move to Bandung was the one I regret the most. I met you again, I was happy while you weren't. I want you to be happy but if I come and you are not happy, I can go" The King looked back at the Queen who was hiding her face in both palms.


The sound of rain was heard in both ears of the King. It is as if there is pain that rain brings to every falling water that soaks the earth.


"Don't deny your feelings. I know you also love Gavin and nakal whatever guy he'll be good to his loved ones"


Instantly the Queen looked at the King in annoyance. Why are the edges on Gavin. It's not connected once.


"Gue does not deny just fear" said the Queen in a soft tone.


"Fear of being in love alone?" guess the King who was reciprocated agreed by the Queen.


"Yes, like I used to fall in love alone with lo and lo instead" said the Queen.


"Over time you also understand that you can not forever deny your feelings. You will wish on someone with indifference that you will be hurt. Love is like that" the king's advice.


"It looks like the rain is starting to stop. I am going to leave yes. Take good care of yourself. Lo is my best friend" The King hugged the Queen's body, maybe this was the last hug before the King actually left Bandung and the last hug before the King stopped loving and chasing the Queen.


Suddenly the King's cell phone stored on the table shook, ending their embrace. Then the King immediately took his phone and opened one incoming message.


After the King read it to completion the King showed the short message to the Queen and after a few seconds the Queen finished reading the message, the Queen seemed to expand instantly.


The short message was about the Queen's Father who asked the King to stay at his house for reasons of rain. And the Queen knew the King would not be able to resist the wishes of her Father the Queen.


"Jaudah deh terahiran in bandung I nginep here" said the King, then the Queen again smiled listening to the King's decision.


"Main guitar yuk?" take Queen.


King is smart to play guitar sound is also good but not as good as Adam Levine vocalist Marron 5 who is the idol of King.


The king agreed.


"Gue take it first" said the Queen then she walked to Bang Raka's room where several guitars were in her room. In addition to Raja, Bang Raka also likes music especially an Irish band called kodaline .


After a few minutes the Queen finally came with her brother's guitar. The Queen sat down next to the King when she finished giving her guitar to the King.


"Singing what song?" ask the King when he is ready to use the guitar.


The queen seemed to think for a moment and when she glanced at the guitar there was the name of a codaline band written using a marker by her brother.


"All I want, kodaline" answered the Queen then the King plucked the strings of the guitar and began singing while the Queen only sang in a soft tone because she realized her voice was not as good as the King.
