Aleesa just got home from college. He was picked up by Rio because the father had to go outside the City. His mother was in a meeting with A&R Bakery officials. He's alone at home. A housekeeper gives a medium-sized package.
"Who are you, Mommy?"
"Do not know, Non. He said it was for Non Sasa." Aleesa brought the package to the room. He hesitated to open it. There was a little fear in his heart.
The doubt was strongly supported when his phone rang and an outside number went inside his phone. He ignored the package.
"Hi." Aleesa's face was already very cheerful greeting Restu. Restu is like a tired man.
"It's only been me" reported Restu.
"Rest, Bie. Take care of your health and come back with your invincible good looks." Restu laughed when he heard it. This lover made her not want to leave her side.
"Take care of yourself, Lovely. I'll keep an eye on you. Don't fuck around." Still threatening Aleesa. His face was very wrinkled.
"It's just one thing, Bie." Restu clucked in annoyance and it made Aleesa laugh. However, his eyes suddenly dewy as he looked at Restu.
"Miss you."
"Miss you too so much." Restu could not bear to see Aleesa like this. He wanted to quickly return to Jakarta and live there. Learn to manage the company with his papih.
"Two weeks, yeah. I promise I'll go home and we can stay together." Aleesa smiled and nodded.
"Please survive if in the future our relationship finds many obstacles. You know I'm not a good person. I'm not-"
"Every human being has a past. I see you now because we were not at that time. We are in the present and will continue into the future." Restu's heart was cold to hear the words from Aleesa.
"More love is with you." Aleesa warmed towards the lover.
"Can you promise me one thing?"
"What?" Restu had already looked at Aleesa lovingly.
"Return without the slightest injury. I don't want to see you in a bad state." Restu even laughed.
"I will always try. Whatever you ask, I'll do." Sincerely, that was what Aleesa could hear from a Restu.
Behind Restu's room, a man eavesdropped on the man-friendly conversation in the room. There is pain when I hear it. Restu's voice was soft and he knew who Restu was talking to.
"Why am I jealous?"
.
When night fell, the sleepless Aleesa chose to open the package she received. The name of the sender does not exist either. Curiosity is increasingly making him mutilate to open the package.
"Flashdisk?" Aleesa was confused. Questions raged in his head.
He got out of bed and opened his laptop. He started installing the flash and two videos were there.
"What's this?" His hand has made the video and the sound of gunshots heard from the video. Aleesa closed his mouth as he saw clearly blood spurting on the old man's chest. His eyes widened perfectly.
Aleesa's body stiffened. He knew that voice and when he magnified, his tears just fell. The boy cried loudly and shouted.
"I didn't kill Grandpa. No!" Aleesa could clearly see the boy holding a gun with a trembling body.
Aleesa could not say. He was still silent with tears still dripping. He reopened the second video and now he's widening his eyes. He knew the man because he had seen him, and the screams from the man sounded very loud. He looks very sick. There was a sound of broken bones in his ear.
The man was just left behind by someone who was very angry. Letting the man with a breath that was already stingy. His face was enduring tremendous pain. Aleesa could not say. Heart rages. At the end of the video, there is a female voice.
"DO YOU STILL WANT TO BE WITH THAT CRUEL MAN? HIS GRANDFATHER AND FATHER WERE TREATED LIKE THAT. NEXT, YOU WILL BE THE VICTIM. YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GONNA BE KILLED BY HIM."
Aleesa exhaled a rough breath. He closed his eyes for a moment and tears just dripped.
"What else is this, God?" A rough gust of breath came out from Aleesa's mouth. Is this what Restu meant?
Aleesa's getting no sleep. Moreover, his dream last night continues to haunt his head. Plus the video made him no appetite and kept trying to think positively. He chose to contact his lover. He didn't even notice what time it was.
"You haven't slept?" Restu looked towards the wall clock. There shows ten o'clock at night. A handsome face filled Aleesa's mobile screen. A very handsome face and the more he missed. Twenty-four hours apart.
Aleesa did not answer. He saw that Restu's face was getting deeper. There was a slight pressure in Restu's eyes. Aleesa saw a different look in his eyes than usual.
"Are you okay?"
"No," said Restu. I heard a rough breath.
"Why?" Aleesa was curious and his heart was pounding.
"Flying from Jakarta I feel bad and I want to go home." Such a soft word. Aleesa was shocked when he heard it.
"Your feelings are mah, Bie." Aleesa tried to calm down. He feels the same way. Not usually he wants to keep knowing the news of the lover.
"Typically my instincts are right when my heart is not good either." Restu stared at Aleesa with a sad look. Aleesa.
"Don't worry me, Bie." Restu tried to smile.
"Lovely, always wait for me, yeah. I promise I'll try to go home and see you. I love you, and I'll never hurt you."
Aleesa nodded, in his heart he cried hearing the words of the lover that indeed came from the heart. How not, the voice of the woman at the end of the video in the flash was a little shake his heart. However, hearing such sincere remarks from the lover seemed to dismiss the words that were aired. Restu will not harm him. He's sure of it.
They don't say much. They just looked at each other with eyes full of longing. Until they fell asleep with the phone screen that is still on by showing their equally asleep faces.
The second day, Aleesa was still able to communicate with Restu. Restu's face increasingly showed discomfort. On the third day, Restu was difficult to contact. Aleesa was still well-thought. Until the fourth day there was no news from Restu at all. That made Aleesa a little anxious. Back-to-back messages have been sent, but there has been no response either.
He was still silent with anxiety lodged in his chest. The cellphone he used to leave behind is now always held. I hope her boyfriend returns her message.
"May you be okay there, Bie."
