SECOND BRIDE

Episode 6: Maafin Shinta

This morning I woke up because the hotel maid was knocking on the door, I was astonished why the waiter had come this early. Is this the special waiter from this hotel to wake up the guests this early ? real funny. I immediately opened the door because it was not good with Vebi who was still asleep because we had just reached Yogyakarta at 3 am, of course we were still very tired because of the very long journey.

“Sorry for bothering you early in the morning like this, but the sender of this phone advised to immediately deliver this phone to Shinta. Are you the one named Shinta ?” ask the maid.

“Oh yes, thank you. I will not be receiving that phone. Please just save it for you.”

“But..”.

“It's okay. I will buy my own phone, if I may know where to buy a phone around here ?”

“Oh there, the name is Asasel store, there the price of the phones is cheap-cheap”

“Thank you”

I immediately closed the hotel door and got ready to go find the basic store. I only wear a T-shirt and genie because this is my favorite suit, with hair that is allowed to unravel covered by a red hat. Her makeup is just lip-brushing. I was ready to go to the shop the waiter had mentioned to buy his phone and get breakfast.

“Oi!” someone called out to me, but I let him because I suspected it was just a hotel guest prankster who intended to just tease me

“Oy! Shinta!” when I heard that voice again by saying my name, I wondered where the man knew my name, out of curiosity with the voice that had mentioned my name I finally decided to turn around and meet Ikmal who was running towards him.

“Where are you going?” tannya

“Not lo” business I decided to continue the step towards the elevator, and Ikmal kept following me.

“Where are you going?” ask me because I feel disturbed by his presence.

“Not a lo affair!” the answer is, of course it irritates him but I don't want to continue this unimportant debate.

After the elevator door opened I immediately left it and went towards the direction the waiter had described. I was indeed very reckless just armed with the instructions the waiter had walked alone in a very new place like this, I would give a thumbs up for me if I managed to find him.

After walking for quite a while, I felt that I had followed the direction of the hotel maid properly but the shop I could not find.

I got lost in a very crowded market, very confused to find my way back to the hotel, everyone I was about to ask was busy with their respective affairs. I am a very stupid person who is very reckless to walk around like this without communication tools and people can be invited to talk.

“It's so great lo!” The sudden jolt of the man was already sitting next to me.

“Lo why can ..?”

“Thanks!”

“Gue denger you want to buy a mobile phone from a hotel maid because they do not want to receive a mobile phone from someone who has kindly loved the phone to you. I really don't understand the same way of mind you now, you really-it's getting messy.”

“Yes, I'm getting fucked. Long ago also I must have gone crazy”

“That's because you think you're alone, in fact you're not alone Shin! You have a friend Lo Ve and me. Also maybe someone who has given the phone, I hope you do not feel alone again you have to rise Shin. I'm sure, your father does not want you rich gini keep”

I just nodded my head, continuing to digest and reflect on what Ikmal had said. Indeed everything he said was true, I had to rise so that father would not worry about me, I would show him that his daughter could live well.

“Now you still want to buy that phone?” tanya Ikmal, answered with a nod by me.

Ikmal led the way to the phone shop and I followed him from behind. This is the beginning, and Ikmal has opened my mind.

“Shin lo where the hell is it ? I'm stressed you want to call you can't.” Ve greeted me with her scolding.

“Gue abis buy mobile phone, where my number is save.”

“Country kek if you want to go, I think you go home alone to Jakarta because you are still sad”

“No Ve, I will not be sad anymore.”

“Well, this is the new Shinta I know. You are not alone really, whenever you need my friend will be there, you know who I am. your friend, you are not alone.”.

I nodded my head with a smile, Ve was right. How foolish I was yesterday to think that the world had collapsed. I felt so guilty for Mr. Andre that I immediately sent him a message to apologize for my abusive behavior that caused the argument yesterday.

To : Mr. Andre

Sorry Shinta yesterday

There was no reply after thirty minutes the message was sent, not as usual because usually he would immediately reply or call me, yes it may be natural that he is now busy with his family. The family he loves so much, I understand that and I have no right to take care of his family. I will leave after graduation.

For now I'll just focus on my psychic recovery, with my friends now.
