Second Time
COMPANIONS
That night Grace was sitting in the balcony of her apartment, sometimes she still could not believe what she was doing about her life. He did not expect that he was born and raised in this country. Grace had heard all the stories about her life from Mr. Nas.
Suddenly Grace remembered the woody man of the salon owner she had met some time ago. While visiting her home yesterday, in addition to photos with Dafa, Grace also saw many of her photos with the man. Grace took her phone, hesitatingly she pressed the call button, she wanted to contact Maria. Grace wanted to ask him a few things.
“Halo?” The Voice of Mary
“Halo.”
“Who is this?”
“Mmm, Defina.”
“Hey is beautiful, do you remember me now?” The voice across looked cheerful.
“Mmm yes, can I meet you?”
“Can sweetheart, come to my place whenever you want.”
“Alright, I'll be there now.”
Grace immediately exited the apartment, she went to Maria's place alone. Not long after he arrived at Maria's candidate, he parked his car in front of the salon. Grace got out of her car and walked slowly into the salon, Maria greeted her with great excitement.
“Oh baby, finally you visit me, come come with me.” Maria pulls Grace's arm into her private room, Grace says.
Maria invited Grace to sit on the soft sofa in her room. He took mineral water and put it on his desk. Maria sat across from Grace again, looking very happy.
“Thank you.” Grace smiled.
“Defina, it's been a long time since we've never spoken like this, where did you go that time?”
“Mmm, I'm sorry Maria, I don't really understand. I lost my memory since a few years ago, some time ago my memory began to return but only little by little.”
“Oh, it's only fitting that you didn't recognize me at all.” Maria nodded in understanding.
“I came here wanting to hear your story about me in the past because I haven't fully remembered all my memories.”
“Alright, I'll tell you all about you, you know me and you've been very close friends since college.” Maria chuckles.
“Really?”
“Yes, even before you disappeared we were still celebrating graduation together.”
“I'm sorry I didn't remember you at all yesterday, Maria.”
“What's wrong, I'm happy that at this time your memory has started to return.” Maria smile.
“Yes, yesterday I just visited my old house and I saw many photos about us.”
“Hmmm, how about your girlfriend? Do you remember it?”
“Dafa?”
“Exactly, it turns out you still remember it.” Maria smiled broadly.
“I even found out a while ago.” Grace smiled wryly.
“Really?”
“Yes, after the man expressed his feelings for the second time to me.”
“That guy really fought for you apparently?” Maria smiled brightly.
“Do you also know Dafa closely, Maria?”
“Of course, that guy used to very often meet me to look for you, even he said that I hid your whereabouts.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, he lost you so much Def, you disappeared without saying goodbye to all of us so no one knew where you were going.”
“I also don't know any Maria, which I knew when I woke up I didn't recognize anyone and didn't know where I was.”
“Oh God, you're having a hard thing baby.”
“Yes, but now everything has passed.” Grace smiled.
“I hope you're always okay now.”
“Thank you, Maria.”
“So where have you been, Def?”
“I in Singapore.”
“It's worth it we never met at all.”
“Yes, I've only been in this country for a few months, Maria.”
“Where do you live here?”
"Apartment XX.”
“Oh yes, I know that. I'll visit there sometime later.”
“Yes, you can visit me later.”
“I'll visit you often later.”
Maria and Grace kept talking very closely, they looked very happy. Mary kept telling me about the memories they had passed through. Their conversation came to a halt as a knocking sound was heard on the door. Mary got up from her seat and opened the door.
“Maria.” Say hello to the man smiling.
“Come in, you must be looking for your daughter's master.” Mary let the man in.
“Dafa?” Grace looked stunned.
“Grace, I found you.” Dafa sat down next to Grace.
“How do you know I'm here?”
“My feelings brought me here.” Dafa put his hands on his own.
“Oh, you still act like that apparently.” Maria chuckles.
“Very silly.” Grace looked at Dafa.
“I miss you.” Dafa grabbed Grace's hand and grasped it tightly without looking at the situation, there was a single person who pursed his lips looking at the two lovebirds in front of him.
“Hey, did you see Maria pouting at your attitude?” Grace chuckles.
“Let's just.” Dafa ignored Mary.
“Huh, how outrageous are you Daf.” Maria put on an upset face.
“You know Grace? Maria still expects someone who very clearly rejects her love.” Dafa chuckles
“Really?”
“Ya, her love is clapping one hand.” Dafa chuckles.
“Daf, don't tease me. You remember if you used to be more pathetic than me.”
“Yes, yes, it was. Look now, I've found my girl back.” Dafa tightened his hand.
“Cih, you are arrogant once.”
“But I brought you a gift today Maria.”
“What is it?” Maria looks curious.
Someone suddenly entered the room, a handsome man who smiled at all of them. Maria hysterically saw him, he immediately grabbed the man's arm and let him sit down. The man just smiled stiffly at the treatment Maria always had for him.
“Who is he?” Grace asked Dafa.
“Reza.”
“Reza?” Grace looked confused.
“Yes, he was a friend of Dafa during college, don't you remember him at all?” Mary looked at Grace.
“No.” Grace shakes.
“We are even together often, yet you don't remember me at all.” Reza chuckles.
“He's a man loved by Maria.” Dafa laughed saying that.
“Really?” Grace smelled her smile.
“Yes, even now I have not been able to forget him even though he never returned my feelings.” Maria looked pouted at Reza.
“I told you that you're not my type, Maria.” Reza said while chuckling.
“Yes, I know, you've said it a thousand times.”
“Give her Maria, now Reza will have a new life.” Dafa interrupted their conversation.
“What do you mean?” Mary looked at Dafa.
“I'll get married early next month.”
“What?” Maria looked surprised.
“I was told by Dafa that you are gathered here, I want to give you this.” Reza took out a scroll in a ribbon-adorned mica tube that looked very beautiful from her suit pocket.
“Invitation?” Maria grabbed the scroll, she put on a sad face.
“Yes, you guys should come.” Reza smile.
“Reza, you broke my heart for the umpteenth time.” Maria held the scroll.
“It's time you gave up, let Reza be happy with the girl of her choice.” Dafa tekeh's.
“Yes, yes, well I will let you go, be happy together with the girl of your choice.” Maria smiled wryly.
“Thank you, Maria.” Reza smile.
“You're so generous, Maria.” Grace chuckles even though she doesn't understand if Maria really likes Reza or is just joking.
“Of course, I have to be happy if he is also happy.”
“Find better than Reza.” Dafa continued to laugh.
“Ya, I'll look for him soon.” Maria's face turned bright.
They kept talking and joking until the night got late. That night they sat together again after a long time never met. They look very familiar even though one of them still does not remember the memories that have been established between them.
