Sidewalk

Chapter 38 Free

Shafi's morning activities, walking as usual, nothing has changed. After Dirga goes to the office, Shafi immediately prepares to begin his adventure in search of his friend Athan. Mr. Ajah was waiting for him in front of the house. The Shafi hastened his steps, the guilt of greeting the five fingers on Athan's face, making his heart unsettled. Mr. Ajah smiled when he saw a new Shafi coming out of that door.

“Where are we going Non?” ask Mr. Ajah, while opening the car door for the Shafi.

The shafi mentioned the address he was going to. Armed with information from social media, Syafi hopes to meet Athan at the place. The biggest shopping center in the city. From the info that Shafi got, Athan filled out the event there. After the Shafi entered the car, Mr. Ajah immediately closed the car door. Immediately get into the car and start driving the car that he drove to the place that Shafi mentioned.

The Crypton Group Ozage Building.

It was still morning, somehow Dirga's mood suddenly deteriorated, everything he did was not right. Getting Sam upset, all the files must be finished as soon as possible, so that the sooner this business is done. Dirga was still staring at the file he was holding, it felt like this file was a stale food he was reluctant to touch.

Sam snorted annoyedly at seeing Dirga like a man who had not eaten a week. “Roman, you finish another job, let me and Dirga finish the file here.”

“Good, Mr.” Roman immediately left Sam's room.

In that room were Sam and Dirga. “What's up, Dirga? Why are you screwing this up?”

Dirga released the file he was holding. Start telling me who Athan is and the Shafi's plan is to find Athan. “Athan is like me, in love with the Shafi, and equally does not dare to express. The difference, he will fight while I just keep quiet.” Dirga rubbed his face rough.

“Then pursue a Shafi like Athan chasing him.” Sam gave me encouragement.

“I can't, I don't have the courage like Athan."

"You're human, right?"

"Lord see what the fuck I am?"

"If you're human, you're the same as Athan. Come forward fight for your love!"

"Besides I don't dare, nor can I, all jobs should be immediately available.” Dirga again grabbed the files scattered on the table.

Sam took the file that was in Dirga's hands. “Go chase your love, company affairs only get messed up if you're like this. The experts on this matter are many, but for your heart, only you can. Let's fight there. For you, I always give you a privilege, because you're special."

Dirga immediately stood up, he had to fight for his love. He's leaving Sam's room. His fingers were busy wiping the rectangular flat object. Getting a reply where the Shafi was, Dirga further accelerated his pace.

The atmosphere of the shopping place is very crowded, Syafi sits in one of the restaurants close to the stage where Athan is performing today. Long enough to wait, he finally saw the man he wanted to meet. Seen Athan singing a song ‘No Deadline’. Instantly Shafi remembered his togetherness with Athan while still in the corner of the island of Borneo.

Singing is a part of the soul of Shafi, when sennag or sad, Shafi always pour out with singing. The destruction of that time melted everything, even melted his pleasure in singing, first by singing he felt extra energy, at this time there is no happiness in him. The thunderous sound of applause resuscitated the Shafi from his daydream.

The song was sung by Athan. Athan's voice is melodious, Athan's guitar playing is also good. Seeing that Athan was about to leave the stage, Shafi immediately spurred his footsteps following Athan.

The smile on Athan's face suddenly vanished, as both of his eyeballs looked at the Shafi. Athan was trying to avoid this woman standing right in front of him.

“Kak .. I'm sorry,” Syafi tried to hold back Athan's move.

Athan stopped his footsteps, turning towards the Shafi. “Sorry?” A stiff smile was engraved on Athan's face. “Your slap doesn't hurt, but it's a shame that's hard for me to forget.” Athan resumed his footsteps.

“Kakak ..” Shafi wished Athan would apologize to him.

Athan again stopped his footsteps. “I'll apologize, with some Terms.”

“What?”

“First terms, sing to me now, I want you to sing ‘Maybe today Tomorrow or Later’ Now! On that stage.” Athan's index finger pointed at the stage collar.

“Sorry brother, the old Shafi is dead, there is only the new Shafi. The Shafi in front of this Big Brother has no soul to sing. Not just Chanting, everything that was in the old Shafi, there was no longer in the Shafi who stood in front of Brother at this time.

Unaware of both, there is a male figure who hears all the words of the Shafi. Shafi and Athan were both unaware that the man in the hodie jacket and wearing the mask was Dirga.

“I'm sorry I can only give to the old Shafi, he is my friend, while the current Shafi is not my friend, and I do not know him.” Athan continued his footsteps again, away from the Shafi.

Seeing Athan's response like that, the Shafi increasingly felt guilty. Shafi steps towards the stage, Shafi's actions make Dirga themanga, whether the old Shafi will return.

(I approach .. the path we walk, Every day we are here.)

Hearing a voice he knew so well, Athan again stopped his footsteps, he turned around to make sure it was Shafi. Sure enough, the girl was seen standing on stage looking at him. Athan smiled, he immediately returned to the stage. He stood beside the Shafi. The voice of the Shafi sounded trembling. Athan continued to carve a smile on his face.

(I wait for you to come back ‘tuk. Only memories are left here ..).

(But now you're ‘tlah go, and I'm sure you're not ‘kan return)

(Maybe today .. tomorrow or later, millions of memories are imprinted in this heart)

(Maybe today .. tomorrow or later no longer greet each other even though I still hope you ..).

Instantly the fond memories with his Uncle and aunt revolved in the head of the Shafi. The sweet smiles of his Uncle and aunt, who always welcomed him when he returned, the warm embrace of his uncle also the anger of his aunt as he nosy looks so obvious.

(I wait ... present you ‘tuk Return. Only memories are left here ..)

The shafi began to lose control over his voice, his sobs making his singing chaotic. The Shafi tried to hold back the cries, but the longing and regret tied his heart, making the tears flow hard to hold.

(But now you ‘tlah go and I believe, you do not ‘kan back ...)

Shafi was getting immersed in his cries, Dirga du down the stage also felt the piquancy that the Shafi felt at this time, making a clear liquid detach from the tip of Dirga's eyes.

(Maybe today ..) The chanting did not continue, the Shafi increasingly lost control over him.

The shafi felt he could no longer continue his singing. At the same time he again imagined the curse of Arnaff, the cries of Uncle and aunt. The shafi gave the mic to another music player, and left just like that.

Dirga watched it all so furious, it hurt to see the Shafi cry like that. The singing of the shafi is continued by another vocalist. It was like taking the place of the life-seeking angel to take Arnaff's life. Shafi's Destruction because of Arnaff.

Athan immediately got off the stage wanting to catch up with Shafi, but his steps were intercepted by someone.

“Don't make my Shafi cry!” snapped it.

"Dirga?"

"My shayf is fine, because of you he's drowning again in grief!" dirga maki.

“I just want to help him get up!" reply Athan.

"Right now Shafi is not fine, in silence he is still drowning in his suffering, I will not let him sink into continuous sorrow!” Athan released the grip of Dirga's hand on his arm, and immediately caught up with the Shafi.

Ahan continued to run in search of Shafi, but he was late, Shafi was not seen again in the Mall area. Athan returned to the stage area, where there was still Dirga Athan walking closer to Dirga. “Right now I have failed to make him rise, but I will not give up, plus luck is on my side, right now he is looking for me, not me looking for him.” Athan left Dirga.

Dirga teeedat Syafi who left in a state of injury. Dirga down the shopping place, like a child separated from parents, running here and there hoping to find Shafi. Wherever he ran, he did not find the Shafi. His phone rang, seen a message from Mr. Ajah, if the Shafi has returned home. Dirga was relieved. Dirga immediately left the mall.

Dirga immediately returned home, ensuring the state of Shafi. Arriving at home, the Shafi he saw was not a Shafi who seemed to have improved some time ago. It was very anxious to strangle Athan's neck, which made the Shafi again drown in sorrow.

The woman stood beside the glass window, looking at the view outside the house.

“Fiy, I'm off this week. While in this city, you've never been for a walk, how about we take a walk now? Can I take the day off?”

Shafi nodded his head. He grabbed his little bag. Dirga smiled, at least Shafi wanted him to take a walk.

Dirga brought Shafi to explore the tourist attractions in this city. It felt free, there was no response from this woman. He followed wherever Dirga took him. But his mind, heart and soul are out of nowhere.

For the past week Dirga brought the Shafi around the city, but from the first day to the present there is no difference.

A week passed, the struggle Dirga this week brought the Shafi streets to various places did not produce anything. Let alone a smile, the answer from the tongue alone he could not get. Just a nod of the head and the trunks, as the Shafi's answer to all his questions.

Sadness does not just cover Dirga's heart. But also Rinto, Arnaff's father. The sadness of Rinto, because until now Sam has not been able to see him. While the sadness of Dirga because of his struggle to make the Shafi rise has not succeeded. Let alone making the Shafi rise, making the woman want to talk is difficult.
