The Charm Behind the Mist

H1. Still Behind.

~Happy Reading~

Late in the afternoon, Recky arrived at Soeta Airport from Australia. He got out of the airport and took a taxi to get home. No one picked her up, because she did not tell the house people her time plan. Including his father who sent a message several times asking for it. She was convinced it was a message her mother sent using her Papa's phone.

When he got home, he saw that his mother and father were already home. Without greeting, he went straight to his room. She could see a happy and relieved smile on her Mama's face when she saw him enter the house.

Without wasting any time, he cleaned himself up, changed his clothes then prepared everything necessary for tomorrow's event. After seeing that all the necessities had been put in the suitcase, he brought down the suitcase and put it in his car.

Mr. Biantra who just came out of the room and saw Recky down carrying a suitcase, followed out following him to the yard. "Recky, where are you going? Wouldn't it be better to stay home first? Tomorrow's the show." Mr. Biantra spoke slowly, as Recky was about to get into his car.

"I'm going straight to the hotel, Pa. I'm a little tired, because I'm new to Canberra and I'm flying here. Later Papa just tell the place of his contract. I want to rest tonight." Revky said then got into the car and started the engine.

Mr. Biantra nodded in understanding and let Recky take his car out of the yard. When she heard the sound of the car leaving the yard, Ms. Biantra ran out to see who was coming out. Soon, dinner time is coming.

Mr. Biantra explained what Recky said to his wife, then walked into the house. Ms. Biantra came in, walking beside her.

Actually Bu Biantra kind of objected to Recky staying at the hotel. He wants Recky out of the house tomorrow on his way to the contract. But seeing the existing conditions, he could not demand much. Recky has gone home now, it's been a great relief.

While still in Australia, Recky had asked Carren to reserve a room for him in person in addition to the room to be used as the room where the bride and groom are preparing. So that he doesn't have to bother anywhere.

When he arrived at the hotel, he was immediately transferred to the room that Carren had reserved for him. After entering the room, Recky opened his suitcase and put all the necessities for the event and reception into the closet.

He prepared his own needs while still in Australia. So Carren does not need to help prepare it, let alone Mama or Liana. She felt disgusted, considering that her Mama or Liana touched the clothes she was about to wear.

After putting the clothes in the closet, she was very hungry. Recky exited the hotel room to the restaurant for dinner. He enjoys the solitude he is used to.

He did not linger in the restaurant, because he did not want to meet someone who knew him. He is not in a good condition to talk to others.

Upon returning to the room, Recky recalled his car. He contacted a friend he knew at the workshop. He did not respond to Sofyan or others, including Ayunna who had called him many times since he was still in Australia.

'Maybe they've already received an invitation from Liana and want to know the story about her wedding.' That's what Recky thinks, so he doesn't respond to all the calls from his friends.

Before the break, he saw the watch in his hand showing the time that was not too late. He took his phone back, called.

📱"Allooo, Carren. Are you home yet?" Recky asked, as Carren responded to his call. She felt a little relieved, Carren had not slept so she could take her call.

📱"Allooo, Recky. Yeah, it hasn't been home long. Where are you?" Carren asked in essence, as he was very anxious all day. Recky has not contacted him to inform him that he is already in Jakarta or not. He refrained from contacting Recky, though his heart was anxious.

"I checked in at the hotel. Hungry, I had dinner just called you. Have you relaxed? I have something to talk to you about." Recky said, then walked over and sat down on the bed.

"Yes, I'm in bed, getting some rest. This whole day is pretty tired." Carren explained, without being able to say that his heart was very anxious thinking about him all day.

📱"Good. I'm talking right now, 'cause tomorrow I want to get up a little bit during the day. I might be just as tired as you. Look, tomorrow's your car you're taking to the hotel, right?" Ask Recky.

📱"Good, then. My car is now in the hotel parking lot, I'll give it to you..."

📱"Recky, briefly. What do you mean, give me a car? While working there, I no longer needed a car. Because I'm not going to your show." Carren asked in surprise at what Recky had said.

📱"Carren, can you hear me through to the end? So you can understand and not ask me something I didn't think of myself." Recky said seriously, because Carren misunderstood his point.

📱"Yes, sorry. I was surprised to think you asked me to come to your show." Carren said slowly, realizing his mistake.

📱"You were, why did I ask you to do it? Isn't my heart hurting enough, so ask you to add to my wounds? Go back to the beginning, and listen to me."

📱"This is my car private. I bought it myself with my money. Not my parents' gift. I plan to sell it tomorrow, but the time is not possible. So I'll give it to you. You can use it to support your work." Recky said seriously and clearly.

📱"Recky, don't just talk. I can't take it." Carren was very surprised, but he quickly said firmly. Because he felt it was impossible to accept Recky's gift.

📱"Good. Now you give me an excuse, why don't you take my car." Recky said seriously and firmly, leaving Carren stunned and thinking fast.

📱"First, I can't take a car. Second, I won't be able to pay your fancy car tax. So I'm sorry, Recky." That was what Carren thought, so as not to offend Recky.

📱"Good. I understand and here I give you a solution. First, find a good driver outside of your employees. To be able to drive you well while working or your daily needs. I know, you can still pay for a driver." Recky said firmly, so Carren doesn't look for excuses anymore.

📱"The solution to your second objection, I will pay the annual tax. So you don't have to think about it." Recky says firmly to lock in the thought of Carren who wants to find an excuse again.

📱"Reckiii... You are so outrageous." Carren said with a trembling voice, as it held back the crying. He was deeply moved to hear what Recky had said, and was unable to resist it anymore.

📱"Sudaaa... Quit crying. I give this, in order to support the performance of your work when you have to meet a client in the class of a demon. In any case, in business, the appearance of a person shows his business status. So listen to me, then use the good I gave you. Hhmmmm...?" Recky had said more slowly and gently, because he knew Carren was crying. Although he covered his mouth, but the sobbing could still be heard by Revky.

📱"Thank you, Recky." That was all Carren could say quietly and with a trembling voice.

📱"Sudaaa... Quit crying. Don't make me sad tonight, so I can't sleep. I'm so tired, because it's just been a long trip and a long flight."

📱"You please tell the house person, yes. His car will be delivered to your house when the show is over and his men will drive me back to the hotel. So that the people at home can accept it, because you're working here." Recky explained what he had planned.

📱"Yes, Recky. Thank ye. This selessi, drink warm, then take a break. See you tomorrow." Carren was already calmer, so he could say calmly. He didn't want to disappoint or make Recky sad. Then ended their conversation with a slightly relieved heart.

Carren bowed and came back crying, remembering everything that Recky had done for him. He couldn't do anything to help Recky. He looked at his teary face and prayed in his heart.

'Yes, God. You know all hearts. Though Recky's tears did not flow, you knew his heart was crying. Please give her strength. And please comfort him tonight, because this moment feels very hard for him. Calm your heart and mind so you can sleep well tonight.'
