...Happy Reading's....
Rangga was on his way to his apartment. In addition to having a residence in the flower shop, she also has an apartment. In addition to her florist business, owning a company, she also owns apartment buildings and other property businesses in the country.
The car stopped because of the red light. While waiting for the green light, his mind floated on the conversation with his mother about Khanza's daughter.
"The eldest daughter of Khanza was on holiday in Europe two weeks ago. Three days in Europe he said he would return to his homeland. But at the airport, Khanza's daughter escaped somewhere. All the men of the master Rafa and Cio have searched every corner of the European country but have not found the girl. Looks like someone helped him out of the country. There's information from Mr. Edgar's men that Khanza's daughter is in America. They saw a girl who looked like Khanza's daughter. But they haven't confirmed what he is or isn't. Because when checked into every airline, there was no name of Princess Khanza as a passenger plane in the last two weeks." Cindy said.
"Son, the name of Princess Khanza is Rai Rara daughter of Gracio. Since his daughter was born, Khanza reused his real name, Khanza Ghaniya Artawijaya. And he named his daughter Rai Rara the daughter of Gracio" Cindy said back.
"Rai Rara's? So Khanza named his daughter Rai Rara?" inner back. He had not expected Khanza to name his daughter Rai Rara. And it turns out the assumption when they were in school was right, the child in the womb of Khanza was female.
Rangga smiled a little. The sound of the car horn in the back blew away his daydream. The green light is on. Rangga prepares to run the vehicle. When he was about to gas, his car door was opened suddenly arrived from outside. And someone entered. Rangga. Even more surprised to see who came in. That girl again?
"Hay Om....!" greet May smiling. While closing the car. Rangga was about to speak but the sound of the horns of several cars behind him silenced his mouth. He immediately gas-turched. Run the car 100 meters from the red light, then pull over.
Rangga turned his body to May.
Again his mouth was broken open by May's voice.
"Sorry, again I entered Om's car carelessly." said May immediately, knowing what to say Rangga.
"I was waiting for a taxi. I accidentally saw Om's face from an open car window. I noticed it was Om!" may said back before Rangga spoke venting his frustration. He looked at Rangga's flat and cold face.
"Okay.ok. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry!" may said repeating the words Sorry to see Rangga's sharp gaze. Staring doesn't like what he's doing.
"I am now very happy and happy. I want to share my happiness with others. But in this country, I have no friends. I don't have anyone I know to share my happiness with. Seeing Om at the red light earlier, made me feel like I had a friend. I ran straight to Om's car." May said back.
Rangga's eyes squealed, forehead shriveled.
"We have met several times. And Om has helped me several times! But we don't know each other yet. Want to be my friend?" may said she was holding her right hand.
Rangga looked at that hand and had yet to welcome it.
"My name's....!" Rara's words were immediately interrupted. He almost slipped his real name, Rai Rara.
"My name is May __May Wulandari. I am from Indonesia, Bandung. I'm 17 years old. It won't be 18 years" May said.
A few seconds passed and he pulled his hand because he was not welcome.
"Who's Om's name?" tanyanya back.
"You live here alone?" Rangga asked back. His regret died down to see the innocence and honesty of this girl.
"Actually my friend. But he's back in Bandung because......" May hesitated to give any reason. He doesn't usually make up stories that aren't true. While Rangga looked into his eyes waiting for the continuation of his words.
"I don't know what he's back for. But I overheard a conversation with his father, he was asked to go home for college. Coincidentally we just graduated high school." May continued lying. But he's not entirely lying, because Sofi is indeed going to college.
"So why don't you go back with him? You should also go to college after graduating from High School" Rangga said.
"I__I'm still looking for something." replied May hesitated while scratching her non-itchy head.
"Something?" rangga's forehead shriveled hearing his answer.
May nodded.
"Is that more important than your college and your future?"
"Yes, something important in my life. But secrets. Can I not say it?" may smiled, grinning.
Rangga did not answer. She recalled May's conversation with Sofi in her car a few days ago. When May says "I'm looking for my love and soul mate. Who knows if I'll meet you here."
"Maybe this girl is looking for her boyfriend who is in this country? And that's why he's here?" batin Rangga's.
"Foolish girl, very young age is already thinking about love, not school and pursuing ideals!" inner back.
"Om alone? Which wife?" tanya May disperse Rangga daydream. Rangga looked at his face.
"That was yesterday with Om at the parlor
decrepit!" may said answering Rangga's confusion.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. I hope his wife isn't angry when I jump right up to Om's body. His wife's not mad at me, is she?" may asked, looking back from the side.
"Where do you live?" ask Rangga instead of answering May's question.
"I live in an apartment on X Street" May said.
Rangga's face frowned at the address of the apartment called.
"Om must have had a kid my age, right?" ask May again.
Rangga was silent not answering. He turned the direction to the address May said.
"Lho Om, this is the direction to go to where I am" May said moments after realizing the road they were going through. Looks like this guy's taking her home.
Rangga kept quiet. This girl talks too much, he says.
"Stop Om.I want to get down here" said May arrived when she saw an Islamic cafe that looked crowded. Spontaneous Rangga stepped on the brakes and pulled over the car.
May's coming out soon. Walk around the front of the car. He opened the door of Rangga's car and pulled the man's hand out.
"Quick Om, I'm so hungry" May said as her stomach rang again. I was shocked by what he did. He did not want to follow the wishes of this girl. But May's hand pull was powerful enough to take her out."Come on, Om, please come with me." May asks. Forced Rangga to immediately follow the pull of the hand. Her ears heard a voice from May's stomach that sounded again. The sound that was heard since treating his leg earlier and it was not filled.
With a quick little step they headed to the cafe lobby and took a seat. The atmosphere is very crowded because there are performances from Indonesian band groups who perform at that place.
"Om lunch yet?" tanya May looked at RANGGA's face.
He looked back at her, not answering. He had not had lunch because he was not hungry.
"Order what foods Om likes. I paid for it. Think of it as my gratitude for having helped me several times! And secondly, because I'm happy at the moment" May smiled.
"Om know what? I got accepted to work for a big company. I'm so happy! And I want to share my happiness with Om. Because it's only Om I know and my only friend here" May said with enthusiasm, a carefree and happy expression.
"After I walked all day from one place to another, there was finally a company in this country that accepted me to work" May said still with her spirit."The company is huge. Even in my dreams I never thought I would work for such a big company. God loves me the same. He knew I was alone in this country and needed a job. I'm so happy and so grateful." May said back without stopping smiling.
Rangga was happy to see the happy behavior and smile. He smiled in his heart.
Somehow this kind of behavior reminded him of someone in the past. He always shared happiness with her. Not only happiness, but also all its sadness without covering anything.
But May wasn't someone in her past, their faces didn't even look alike at all. From his eyes it was very different. May doesn't have shady eyes like Khanza.
Rangga was still staring unmoved at this cheerful looking sweet face.
Rangga suddenly remembered May's injured leg. Maybe because walking looking for job vacancies from one place to another in a long distance makes his legs blister. "How's the wound on your leg?" tanyakanya.
May looked down. Towards his feet.
"The pain has reduced after Om gave the ointment earlier" replied May smiling. This man was paying attention to her.
There was a hysterical sound of cafe goers as the vocalist started singing. The song is called 'Love to Death'. The visitors sang while screaming hysteria. May also sang. He pulled out his phone, opened his photo gallery. He looked at the handsome man in the gallery. Rangga observed what he was doing, but did not clearly see the man's face. But he's sure what May saw was a man.
"You are the soul mate, your name is engraved in the heart, at every step, I pray, may we meet.( May's singing follows the band's vocalist, seeing the face in the photo).
"You are the mooring of my heart, put your heart in my life, I want you to know, how longing, live thou with me.( May touches her chest very seriously looking at Rad's photo). Without knowing that Rad was in front of him.
Rangga gasped at the singing words coming out of May's mouth. Which seems to be aimed at the man in his car.
"Listen to.all night I prayed, kowtowed and then I asked, may we meet.(the lyrics changed).
"Listen, all night long I pray, My love for you is always awake, And I must be faithful.( Accidentally Staring into the eyes of Rad who still continues to see him singing while staring at the photo. The two stared at each other.
The eyes that Rangga saw reddened sadly as if expressing his feelings through the song. "Could the man in the photo be the man she loves?" batin Rangga's. He saw that the eyes even glazed. May sings with feeling and passion.
While May did not know at all that the man she admired was in front of her.
Moments later, the waiter came with their order. Put it on the table.
May dips Rad's photo before saving the smart thing to her Sling bag.
"That's a damn song, I love it!" may said smiling as she pressed her wet eyes.
"Om know the song? This song is very popular in my country." asked May again. Even though he knows this bule guy doesn't know that song.
"Eat, your stomach will hurt if it is not filled immediately" said Rangga without answering the question.
May nodded." Yes, I'm very hungry. So happy to be accepted to work, made my hunger disappear" he said smiling again. Then he took his drinking glass."Come Om toast to my current happiness and also our friendship" May said raising her glass.
Rangga's eyebrows are adrift to hear the word friendship.
"Come Om, get the glass." May asked again.
"This girl too likes to force her desire." Inner Rangga. She's following what she wants May to. Raise the glass and touch their glass, then take a sip. Next they enjoy the food. Rangga looked at May who looked greedy eating. A thread of sweaty hair appeared in the pores of his face.
"What is the Om of Native Americans?" ask May in between her meals. Once upon a time this man came from another country and settled here just like himself who was just a newcomer.
Rangga just looked not answering. Then back to eating.
"Oh yeah, how many Om kids? Does Om have a daughter like me?" ask May again."Can you recognize me as well? Let me have a friend here." May said again.
"When you eat, don't talk. Quickly finish your food." said Rangga took a quick look, then returned to the plate.
May stared with a manyun face. Eyes cold and sharp.
"Irit really spoke. All my questions were not answered." Her mind was upset. He considers Rangga a cold man, lazy to talk. Fortunately, he likes to help.
May is back to eating. A moment later, Rangga ended his meal. He had not expected to have lunch together with this girl in the open like this. A girl who has nothing to do with him.
"If you're done eating, just go. Maybe Om has some important business. I'm going home in a cab. Sorry for interrupting the time. And thank you for fulfilling my desire to eat together" May smiled.
"You haven't come home yet?" ask Rangga.
"I still want to be here to enjoy their songs" May said, looking at the band. Then look back at Rangga.
Rangga did not answer, just looked at him for a moment, then turned around and stepped.
"Om good." call May a little hard. He called Rangga by the name of Om well. Because Rangga did not say his name.
Rangga's steps stopped. He turned.
"Om hasn't said what his name is?" ask May.
"Because Om doesn't tell you his name, then I'll call Om with good Om. Because Om has helped me a few times" May said again.
Rangga's face frowned"Om good?" his inner. Then he went back on his steps.
"It's freezing. Would this world explode if he mentioned his name?" muttered May annoyedly looked at Rangga's back that was getting further away.
"But though it's cold and haughty-looking, it's kind and helpful" May said with a meaningful smile. He remembered his grandfather, Rafa. Which has a cold nature, looks haughty and arrogant. But have a soft heart.
"Grandfather, I miss you. I miss you all." her mind was sad as she imagined the faces of Rafa and his family one by one.
