Rangga and Rara (Love Ex-Kid)

27. Between despair and hope

...Happy Reading's....

Time keeps going. May's habit when it was time to go home from work, she still took the time to take a shower to clean herself from sweat after working all day, keep changing clothes. He always brings a change of clothes. So that when praying magrib himself is clean. The location of the office is quite far from the apartment makes it will not be able to pray in his apartment, because the time will run out. May will stop at the mosque which is located about 500 meters from the office. He will walk to the mosque to save money. Just like this time, he prayed in the mosque. After that you will continue the journey back to the apartment by taxi or bus.

But this time he didn't go home. After exiting the mosque, he walked down the highway. His feet took his steps to the highway. Walking continues on the pavement mingling with other pedestrians. He didn't know a car was following him quietly from the other side.

May stopped in front of a five-star restaurant. How many days ago he read a post Rad said that he was in this restaurant with someone special. May stood staring at the tall building. Wishing Rad was in this place, keep coming out and meeting him. Once again the man had dinner with the person he considered special. But 20 minutes passed, May let out a disappointed sigh. He immediately turned around and stepped away from that place. He took a taxi and stopped in front of the R² hotel. Rad also uploaded the existence of himself staying at this place.

"Is he still staying at this place?" muttered. I remember him staying at this hotel. Rangga who took him after the incident on the corporate ladder.

The sense of wanting to meet pushed her towards the receptionist section. He asked about Rad if he was still staying at this hotel. But no Australian Rad's name is listed in the hotel guest's name. The receptionist asks for her full name, but May doesn't know only Rad she knows.

May is disappointed, face clouded.

"Maybe he's just staying with his friend at this hotel!"

May stepped up with a gontai. He begins to despair of finding Rad's whereabouts and meets her. So difficult to see the man in person let alone meet face-to-face and chat together.

May remembered another place Rad visited. He took a taxi looking for a mosque to pray isya. After performing the prayer, she headed for the R² florist. This is also one of the places Rad visited. Rad was there. I don't know, he just guessed and hoped. 20 minutes passed watching the store, he turned around to leave because the store was about to close. The employees close the curtains and doors.

"Sir May!" the voice of the call stopped his steps.

May turned around immediately. He smiled after seeing the sweet face of a little girl.

"Michelle!"

Michelle approached him.

"It's good to see you again!" she hugged May."You remember me, right?"

May returned her embrace"Of course. My sister is also happy to meet you! How are you."

"Well brother.....!"

"Grandmother how?"

"Nice as well."

"Thank God! Why do you keep nights around here?"

"I just finished my job!"

"Work?"

Michelle nodded."I work at the flower shop" he said, pointing to the R² florist.

"Thank God! How long has it been?"

"Two weeks ago. Right after we met for the first time. Tomorrow the shopkeeper bids me work here!" michelle said happily.

"Sister is happy. What do you keep working on there? Not a hard job, right?" may asked, worried that Michelle was doing hard work while she was still a child.

"No, brother, just cleaning service. But the shopkeeper said all I could do was work, 'cause I was a kid."

"Well, that's really good for your boss. Thank goodness you got such a kind and understanding boss!" May relieved.

"Self doing it here. I noticed brother standing here staring at the shop! Want to buy some flowers or wait for someone in there?"

"Yes, wait for someone." May nodded.

"Who? The shop's closed, nobody's there. The manager and the employees are back" Michelle said.

"Friends guy. But it seems he did not come to this store. Maybe he's already bought flowers at another store!" may smiled.

"Oh yeah Michelle, I want to ask you something! You've been working here for two weeks."

"Yes!" Michelle nodded.

"Two weeks ago this store a lot of visitors, right??"

"Rad?" keep May.

"Yes, Rad! How does brother know? Brother is also a fan of the same guy huh?" Michelle teases.

May smiles.

"I saw him brother!" said Michelle.

"You seen him?"

Michelle nodded."But just a quick glance, because I'm busy at work" Michelle said enthusiastically.

"Where did he go after that? Does he still say hello to his fans?"

"No, he dodged and immediately left after buying the white rose! And it made his fans disappointed at not being able to meet him! We don't know where he went! He just disappeared!" michelle said at length.

"After that did he still come to the store to buy flowers?" may's asking weakly.

"I didn't see it. I don't know if he's still here. Because my shift in working hours is not fixed!" michelle said she disappointed May.

"Don't want to see him?"

May nodded."Brother also idolizes her very much, and is eager to meet her in person."

"Sister don't be disappointed, later if he comes again, I'll tell you right away."

"Yes right. You work here. Who knows tomorrow he'll be here again! Tell your sister immediately if you see her. Call my sister at this number!" May immediately records her mobile number in the notebook and hands it to May.

"Okay, I'll call you as soon as I see her!"

"Okay Michelle, thank you in advance! Now it's time for you to go home. Your grandmother must be worried waiting for you!"

"Okay, I'll go first. Good night!"

"Night! Be careful!" may's message.

Michelle immediately left with a little run. Because the usual bus on her ride towards the social parlour is a little more arriving.

May stared at his departure with a smile. She is happy to know that the little girl has worked in a good place and is also a good owner, understanding Michelle's status as a child. It occurred to her to help Michelle and her grandmother after her search for Rad was over. But hunted by the shop owner.

May stepped slowly along the edge of the highway mingling with other road users, and among the noise of the passing vehicle. 100 meters walked with her own mind, and the, may's steps stopped by the sound of her stomach asking to be filled. May saw her watch, it's 9 p.m. He hasn't had dinner yet, just as his stomach sounds. May decides to go home to the apartment. He stood waiting for the taxi while looking left and right. His eyes caught a face that seemed familiar to him. May immediately looked towards the figure, standing across the street, who was also looking towards her. Dark-brown-eyed man, Rad! The man she wanted to meet. Until he ran away from home. The man was wearing a black coat and hat. May is very confident in her vision, even though it is night and blocked by a passing vehicle in front of her. He's pretty sure that black-eyed brown guy was Rad.

"R.....!" may said gladly, not budging to see Rad who was also still looking at him."Rad.... I finally met you! I finally found you!" he said back with a big smile on his face. His eyes even glazed. His guess is true that the man is Rad after hearing a voice nearby that also sees Rad.

"Rad, it's Rad....!" there were a few voices of people near May. They also saw Rad. It looks like they are Rad fans just like him.

"That's Rad!" the other word. They immediately approached Rad while pointing Rad to be the center of attention.

May also immediately stepped to the other side following them. Want to meet face to face, talk and ask for a photo together, anyway want to take a moment with the man.But the vehicle passing by blocked them.

Rad or Rangga who saw some people who knew of his whereabouts immediately pulled a hat to cover his face. He hurriedly got into the car and immediately left the place before the same uproar as the incident in Australia. For some reason the man admired him, idolized him, and fans were passionate about him. He is not an artist. There is even a stalking monitor his activity on Instagram.

"R..... Rads..... Rad!" call people who are followers on social media and also the fans.

"At least he's avoiding us!" they said disappointed.

May was also disappointed not to be able to greet Rad directly because the man dodged by rushing away.

But May was a little happy, at least she had seen Rad directly from a few meters away. Means his feeling is right, will meet the man in this country. That means, Rad is indeed in this country as in his post on Instagram.

Seriate.
