Secret of the Heart

Riddles

It was late afternoon and I was still in Bimo's grave. I also do not know why I was reluctant to move home and still miss it until I hugged his headstone and then I apologized to him.

But there was a sudden voice that surprised me, I immediately stood up and saw who the person who dared to yell at me with a loud voice. How shocked I was to see someone standing near me who hadn't seen me in nearly two years.

"Miko!"

I half-cried to call her name while staring in disbelief that it was Miko. But Miko looked at me with a flat face and was indifferent even as if there was hate in her eyes.

He then walked past me and towards a tomb that was behind Bimo's tomb. I was silent and could only look at her while still wondering why Miko was here.

I walked towards her while staring at the tomb that Miko was about to visit. It looks like a woman's grave whether it's her brother or mother I'm still wondering even if it's just in my heart. Then Miko put the flowers she carried on top of the meal.

For a long time he looked at the tomb in front of him, taking a deep breath and saying as if talking to someone.

"So quiet rest Mom, now I'll visit you often."

Only then did I find out that what Miko was visiting was her mother's grave. The look of sadness in Miko's eyes looks like there is a sense of dakit that she harbored. He then looked at me who was standing next to him with a small smile and then looked back at the tomb.

"He's a friend of Miko Bu, an office friend," Miko said as if talking to her mother.

I can't speak just looking at Miko with a confused look. Miko then said goodbye to her mother and returned to walk towards the parking lot out of the cemetery area.

I was still silent and just followed Miko walking towards the parking lot where our car was. But Miko ignored him not even seeing me at all.

"Wait a minute Miko, I have something to ask you," I said as I tried to pull her hand.

"Don't try to get close to me" he said with a hint of anger.

"I'm not trying to get close to you, I just want to ask you something" I said, blocking his way.

Miko then stopped and looked at me sharply. I was confused if Miko was still angry about what happened two years ago because of my report that she was mutated out of town.

"Now ask me what you want to ask me," he said, looking at me.

Why are you so happy I can't be with Bimo, that was the question 2 years ago that I asked you?"

"Forget all my words, I was angry at that moment so those words just came out of my mouth just like that" Miko replied as she walked away from me.

"No way, there must be something you're hiding, now I want to ask you again" I said, pulling his hand.

"What is your relationship with Bimo, you have family ties?" I asked Miko.

"Find yourself the answer, later after you get to meet me," Miko replied as she left me and walked towards her car.

He then left me who was still confused by his words earlier. I was still fixated on looking at Miko who just passed by with her car without looking at me.

************

I went home with a bad heart, the appearance of Miko in Bimo's tomb then his attitude that did not want to answer my question made me even more upset.

Miko could have asked me to be a detective to figure out for myself how it relates to Bimo. From then on I was so fussy about it that Mama rebuked me at dinner because I was so out of focus and almost spilled food.

My phone rang while I was watching television with Papa. It turned out from Wiwin and I then walked out and picked up the phone call.

"It turns out that Miko filled the position you wanted," Wiwin explained to me.

"Truly, definitely not wrong right?" ask to Wiwin.

"Yes, I checked in the HRD room with Kak Santi and Bang Riko" replied Wiwin.

"How long has he been filling the post, who is supporting him here?" ask me again because I am very curious.

"Almost 2 months have been running like Arya's sister who handled it," replied Wiwin.

"Then I ask for 1 more day's permission to see Miko, there's something I need to clarify about all these problems You want to help me right? Tell that to Santi everyone."

Wiwin responded to my request for 1 more day's permission to solve my problem with Miko, which was delayed two years ago.

"I have to get your answer Miko tomorrow," my hiss.

I went to the branch office of the company I worked for in my city. I deliberately went there a little afternoon to see Miko because if in the morning it might disturb those who are working in the office.

The employees immediately showed Miko the place when I came and showed me my ID card. When they found out that I was from the same company but different offices.

"Pak Miko is in the back, come with me" the employee at the reception desk asked.

The employee then showed me to the place where Miko was. It turns out that Miko was in the warehouse with several other warehouse employees looking busy repairing something.

I immediately approached him and thanked the officer who had driven me. Miko seemed to be so engrossed that she did not see me coming and only her friend next door saw me coming.

He then patted Miko on the shoulder and pointed towards me who was not far from them. Miko immediately turned her head and looked at me. Her facial expression was so strange to me it seemed like Miko already knew that I would come to see her.

He then stopped his activities and walked towards me while nodding his head at the friend beside him.

"Finish replace all the cables first after that we install in the field," Miko told her friend.

Miko took me to her office room looks very ordinary just understand the branch office is not like the office where I am. There was only one work desk, a sofa to receive guests and a water dispenser to make drinks.

Miko let me sit on the couch and get me a drink. I held my mouth so as not to speak waiting for Miko to sit down first.

"What coffee is tea?"askinya.

"Tea, I had coffee this morning" I replied.

Miko handed me a glass of tea. He sat on the sofa right in front of me. I still looked at him with annoyance because he had not answered all my questions. But Miko looks cute she sits down and drinks her coffee.

"My answer is Miko," I said while drinking the tea Miko gave me.

"Try to repeat the question which I forgot?" miko asked with a small smile.

I immediately felt annoyed because it felt like I was being underestimated by Miko. If I don't remember this office I can immediately scream in anger but I undo it because it will be embarrassed to see people.

"Why are you happy I can't unite with Bimo?" I asked while looking at Miko sharply.

"It's good, rather than you being united with the one who will die of illness" he replied with a mocking smile.

"That's not the answer, it's your perception. Answer right now, you know I've asked permission for 1 more day so I can meet you so answer that I'm not curious," I said a bit sprained because Miko responded with just a smile.

"Is the answer so important?"

"I answered earlier, try to find another better question, which is more relevant to your problems and Bimo," said Miko

"Why are you going around in circles with words and just answer what is the difficulty?" I asked a little angry.

"Find the root of the problem first, then you can connect all and will find the answer to your question," answered Miko.

"What's the root of the problem, come on Miko I'm tired like this" I complained with a sigh.

"Find out who I will be I will explain everything, hmmm," Miko said with a sly smile.

"And one more don't dare try to approach me again if later I have explained everything, this is a warning," he threatened.

Miko then left me very upset because she had to go to the field to repair a broken tool on a tower. He didn't even say goodbye to me leaving me alone in his room.

I took Miko's business card on her desk. And approached the employee at the front asking where Miko was staying at the moment. They say that Miko lives in the housing provided by the office.

***********

I then tried to see the house that Miko occupied in the residential complex where our office employees were. The road is a bit narrow and the car can only enter one can not be side by side.

Starting to enter the complex and ask a mother who was sweeping her end she showed me the house at the end when I asked where Miko lived. The house at the end of the complex where Miko lived I headed there by car slowly.

How surprised I saw there was a Bimo motorbike parked in front of the house precisely on the terrace. My chest is pounding fast what is this why there is Bimo stuff here. I got out of the car to make sure it was Bimo and it turned out that the old Bimo bike was there.

My heart hurts so much to see it and a thousand questions are in my brain that I can no longer hold back my tears. While hitting the motorbike in front of me I sat holding back so that my crying did not sound.

What a puzzle is this, why they seem so close between Bimo and Miko. What I didn't know about it all and what secrets Bimo kept until he let me be like a fool who could only fumble around for answers.

"You still have a secret I don't know, Bim?"

"You evil Miko, why make me look for the answer to this riddle."

"You are conspiring son of a bitch" I said as I threw the vase on the table against the wall out of the annoyance I felt.
