TRIBULATION NEWS

I found his name on my cell phone. Be met. Immediately I press the green dial. His number is no longer listed. I tried the other number. Same. Unregistered number.

"Arghhhh .. shit," I said annoyedly by slamming my phone into the car seat next to me.

Without a second thought, I quickly drove my car to a place where I had not been for a long time. Arrive at the red light intersection. My eyes seemed focused forward. But my thoughts drifted far into a time when Vino and I were just starting to get into a relationship as lovers.

"Honey. Sorry, I can't buy your groceries. I have an important meeting. You continue to eat it. I'll pay first. I'll pick you up later" said Vino who had just finished his drink and immediately stood up.

"Yes. If you are not able to pick up, do not be forced. I can take a taxi home" I said, replying with a nod to Vino and he left.

I no longer have a taste for eating them. I don't know why my stomach was suddenly full. I put the spoon and fork I held onto the plate. Drinking my favorite juice and Vino. I immediately rushed to buy my necessities.

"PLAAAKKK," a slap that felt hard and hot suddenly landed on my cheek.

"Auww," I said grimacing in pain.

There was no rain or wind. A sweet-faced woman with a high posture, so surprising me. I held my cheek that felt sore and flushed with a confused face. Confused because I didn't know him at all, and had to feel a slap that I didn't know what was wrong with.

"Basic *******! You know who I am? I'm Indri, Vino's girlfriend. How do you get nervous about guys? Huh huh? Have you got the guts Lo deketin Vino?" he said in a voice not too loud but very piercing and his finger pointed towards my face.

"In the meantime, Lo's Vino's girlfriend?" ask me by clasping her hands while holding back a laugh.

"So this is Vino's ex who I thought was still his girlfriend? Funny huh? There's no ethics!" add me again with a little pressing the last word.

"Lo budeg's? I broke up with Vino! So Mending Lo away from Him before anything happens to Lo!" he is full of threats.

There is no fear in this self. His threats, it makes me want to give him something that will make Him stop thinking that I am a woman who is easily threatened. I could have actually slapped the woman back. But I still have the shame to make a fuss in the crowd.

'Let me reply with my tongue, ' I murmured as I drew closer to him.

"Indrii. Name Lo indri? Kasian yes, all the defense of a man who has clearly thrown Lo from his heart. I tell you, if the same man does not expect too much. Afraid that Lo will go crazy if it does not match Lo's expectations," I said to make indri glare at me.

"Oh yes. One over. If Vino wants the same Lo, take it, really. But .. unfortunately Vino wants to be the same I," I said again grinned and passed leaving Indri with his upset face.

"******* fucking Lo!" indri said faintly sounded by me who had already drifted away.

"Tiiinnnnnn," the sound of the car horn behind me blew away my daydream.

'I have to see him. I need to talk to him four-eyes. May Indri still live there, my mind full of hope.

The sky was dark, indicating that the day had changed. Finally, I arrived at Indri's residence. I parked the car in front of his house. I opened an unlocked fence. In a rare hurry I passed through the yard of the House which is quite spacious. Now, I've been standing right in front of the door of the House of Indri.

"Tok Tok Tok" the sound of the door I knocked.

"Assynolajet. Excuse me," I said with greetings.

No sound came from inside the house. But I'm trying to wait patiently. Choosing to sit on a terrace chair that is usually reserved for guests who come. Pretty long. I looked several times, the door was not opened. I waited a while, hoping someone would open the door soon.

"Czech," the sound of the door opening.

Hearing that, I sumringah. I stood up and turned to the sound of the door being opened by the owner. I approached a middle-aged woman who was about the same age as Ms. Iyem.

"Whose mother is it? Can I help you?" tanyanya friendly.

"I'm Tasya, Mom. Can I meet Indri?" I said that I asked Indri.

"Indrii's? Indri who is it? Here there is no such thing as Indri, Mbak," he said that looks confused.

I chuckle. My eyes looked around the house in front of me. I feel sure I'm not wrong. This is indeed the Indri House that I used to frequent.

"Ohh .. maybe you mean the old owner of this house," he said again full of confidence.

"meaning Ma? Indri moved?" my question is to convince myself.

"Maybe Ma'am. Maybe the person you mean is the old owner of this house. You see, I just moved in about two years ago" he explained.

My body seemed to be weak without energy after knowing the owner of this house was no longer the person I was looking for.

"Sorry Mom, do you know where the old house owner moved?" I said ask carefully. Afraid that Mother was disturbed because I had not yet left and asked.

"Due ... I don't know Mama. I just bought this house. If I move anywhere, I don't know" he said, still friendly.

"Yes, Mom. Sorry for interrupting your break. Excuse me, thank you" I said, shaking my hand.

I immediately finished the conversation. Fear will even more troublesome the homeowner. I see the sky getting darker. Suddenly I remembered Maya at home. Maya will definitely be very sad if dinner is only accompanied by Bu Iyem. I can't imagine Maya's face waiting for me at home. I was in a hurry to start the car. Hurry home. Hope the road tonight is on my side.

'grand ... Lo where the hell is it? What does all this mean? What other facts do I not know? All this gives me a headache. Let me tell Dimas to investigate, ' I said in my heart.
