The unexpected is always curious.
But about you, it's all overrated.

"Who's staying in my apartment in Jakarta?" Saga begins to open the conversation after their car leaves the courtyard of the wedding building between Fabel and Dini.
"Yes dong. I don't want to live alone in Bandung"
"I was only there three months"
"Three months is long!" Azka hit her husband's arm slowly. "Let's be there!"
"Ululuu, the jealousy is so funny my wife is"
"Whisper meh"
"Hahahaha" Saga laughed at Azka's adorable behavior.
Dddrrt
Drrt
"At a minute, I pick up Ocha's phone first" Saga nodded at a glance, her gaze focused on the streets that were starting to look crowded.
"Hello Cha"
"Hei Ka's. Have you seen the photo I sent you?"
"the photo? On Whatsapp? Haven't. Why?"
"Where are you?"
"Again in the car, on the way home"
"There's a saga?"
"Eh?" Azka glanced at Saga at a glance, but because Saga was indeed watching Azka their eyes were beaming. Azka smiled sincerely, "Yes. Why Cha?"
"We are via chat. I don't feel good about Saga"
"Oh, Okay. Chat me yes. Nye"
"Bye"
"Ocha why else Yang?" ask Saga when Azka has disconnected the phone on her phone. Azka turned, "Nothing. He wants to tell me about the meetings you met at your wedding"
"Oh"
Azka opens a chat between herself and Ocha. A photo was sent there. Azka. There are Andri, Vidi, Rizky who has become Ocha's husband, and several other friends who used to go to school in the same place as Azka. Azka did not understand the photo. What did Ocha mean to send this and tell Azka to open it?
Azka typed a reply,
Cha, what's with the picture?
Ocha is typing...
Who are you not squirming there?
Azka again touched the photo sent by Ocha so that the photo was clearly displayed on one screen on Azka's phone. Wh who?. And seconds later Azka found out what Ocha meant. There is Ragil. With a green shirt and a black skullcap perched straight on his head. His gaze looked far ahead. Maybe one of them is telling a story. But, Azka still did not understand. What should He do when he finds out that Ragil is there? After all, they have not communicated much in the past year. Just reply to messages if important, or give likes on posts on their respective instagram accounts. It also seems like more Ragil is doing. As he remembered, He only twice gave the sign of love on Ragil's post. First, when he posted a selfie of himself in uniform, and the second was when the man posted a video of himself singing a song popularized by Marcel entitled "It will not be replaced".
I just realized Ragil was there.
Trus I have to catch what other messages from that picture?
He went home Ka.
Said his mother was sick
You know what?
Why did I become angry with you. Hmmmm
Cha, I want nanya. Since when did he smoke?
I just found out he posted another photo smoking the same thing.
Eh yes? But in IG he is still upset Cha
Huh huh? Sick? What pain?
Did he not tell you?
Yes, the time he wanted to vent
Or did you catch the news from him? About him or his family?
Cha, what do you mean? You know anything about Ragil?
Mmmm, he put up a cigarette story, huh? He again needs the power of Ka times
But he's kasian
Cassian? Because se?
Try asking him. He said he'd be back in Jakarta tomorrow.
Azka scratched her phone. Looking at Ocha's gelagat, it seems that his best friend knew something was going on with Ragilnya (ralat, his former Ragilnya). But it seems Ocha doesn't want to tell Azka. Azka was getting curious. Does Azka have to find out for herself? But was it still possible for her to do that when there was already Saga by her side?
But He did not do this because He wanted to love Ragil again. He just wanted to make sure that Ragil was okay. Stay happy and have a good life after their separation a year ago. It looks like it's okay if he does it with Saga's permission. Hmmmm. But how should Azka say this to Saga?
"Yes? Yang Helo? Hey," Saga's hand was waving in front of Azka's face that looked focused on the street.
"Eh, Ay. Excuse me. Why?"
"What else think? After opening a chat from Ocha, Ayang's forehead is dripping. Think what?" ask Saga with her usual gentle tone.
"Emmm, think about when I can go home" said Azka. Again, why would he lie? ****!
"Who wants to go home?"
"Emmh, wait for a holiday.we go home together huh?" Bring Azka. She stared fixedly at her husband who was still focusing on the seemingly endless streets.
"Yes can"
The tring!
A message goes back to Azka's phone. From the pop up message that appeared on the screen, Azka knew that it was a message from Ocha.
You really don't know anything about her?
I don't think it's wise, considering there's a Saga next to you. But I thought of you.
Ragil seems to need a story. And I want you to be able to hear the story too.
If you don't mind, you can call Ragil.
Azka was getting annoyed with her condition. How could he contact the young man if he didn't have his contact number? Azka's phone is missing, which means Ragil's contact is lost. Azka was displacing her face rough. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. He wanted to find out, but did not know what to look for, and where to look. Crazyhead! Crazy ocha! Why would he pull Azka in such a condition? Was he not satisfied to see Azka continue to hold a Ragil for several dozen years? But behind her frustration, Azka knew Ocha must have had a reason. And Ocha, don't want Azka to be the last one to know about it. Maybe also, Ragil is in need of himself at this time. As friends? Might as well.

Azka and Saga arrive at an apartment in the middle of Jakarta. Saga was given the task of his office to take care of the project in Jakarta. For approximately three months, the newly married couple will try to taste the hard life in the Capital City. Actually Azka did not really want to follow Saga working where. Because he still has some work. But after weighting, Azka should come along. And because the college where she worked gave her the flexibility to go with her husband, Azka was happy to come to Jakarta with Saga.
"Who's cape?"
"Little bit. Just a moment away from Bandung-Jakarta mah" said Azka smiling.
"Like it?"
"Like what? Ye? Yes like it, if I don't like it I won't marry you" Azka chuckled.
"Well, I know that. What I'm asking, who doesn't like the apartment?" ask Saga softly. His hands were already wrapped around his wife's waist.
"Like. From here you can see Jakarta. I am staying in Jakarta for the first time. I'm a little nervous"
"As for me, you're calm" Saga rested her chin on Azka's shoulder. Makes Azka shudder amusedly.
"Ay, that's it. Amused" said Azka, keeping her shoulder away from the head of Saga resting there.
"Let's eat" Invite Saga to gently pull Azka's arm. They both went to the nearest restaurant. For the first dinner in the city that will be their city three months ahead.
"Why go to a restaurant? In fact to the food stalls aja" Azka voiced when the two had entered one of the restaurants whose decoration was very beautiful.
"Taken to a good place even nawar" Saga chuckled
"Hehe, sorry Ay"
They both enjoyed dinner with wisdom. Spend time at the beginning of the week before tomorrow they start to return to their respective routines. When they finished, they both rushed home. Azka waits in front of the restaurant as Saga picks up her car. Faintly his eyes caught the shadow of a man he seemed to recognize.
Following her curiosity, Azka walked up to the young man sitting in front of a minimarket. Azka's heart degub is getting timid. He was nervous and excited at the same time. He continued walking, passing a small road that separates the restaurant with a minimarket. Azka no longer thought that Saga might be looking for her. What Azka wanted to do at this time was, to make up for her curiosity by coming to the person she was heading to. He stopped right behind the young man.
"Ragil"
