The Lover In Dream
What a Beautiful Farewell



Farewell to two people in a long distance relationship is only a matter of time. How two people can pass through time in great distances. How difficult it is to continue to cultivate great trust every second, continuously until the distance is no longer left. Where just waiting for time to pass so that soon can be together.


"Kamusih, ginikan will be" Gerrutu Naomi.


The time is five o'clock in the morning as Naomi and Rio run after the train that has not stopped completely in order to get a seat. Such is the suffering of the connoisseur of the economy train when it comes to fighting for a limited seat on Monday morning. So close and full. Rio tried to protect naomi by hugging her from behind and clutching the bag that Naomi was carrying in her chest.


"Yeee, blame me. You said five o'clock in the morning" Refuse Rio.


"Yes five o'clock, but come should be five o'clock less. It's not like the seats" Naomi kept grumbling.


"Father, let's hug you" whispered Rio.


Naomi raised her eyebrows as Rio tightened his embrace, "Awwwwww" Shouted Rio as Naomi tried to pinch her stomach.


They stood all the way to their destination for three hours, Jakarta City on Monday. Solid, and sickening. Occasionally Naomi chewed on the bread she bought at the station while waiting for Rio to come. And very kindly, Naomi was reluctant to share it with Rio.


"Nao, for dong. Hungry" complains Rio.


"Ga ah, the one I bought was also only two" replied Naomi.


"May one be with me, I'll keep you here"


"I don't need to be taken care of either. It's you who the mode wants to hug me. Take a chance in narrow-mindedness" Naomi said.


Rio could only sing his lips when he saw Naomi eating bread, several times he asked for it but Naomi remained reluctant to give him until the last bread.


Upon arriving at the destination, Rio immediately ran to where he could find food. She quickly ordered two portions of food and took them to the table where Naomi was waiting.


"That's understanding until pesen two" said Naomi.


Gently, Rio pulled the tray filled with food away from Naomi. He was drawn to get closer to Rio . He then floated a cynical smile, his hands guarding the food with a very careful so as not to be captured by Naomi.


"Who said to you, I bought two for myself anyway" Rio explained as he started eating.


"Are you eating two servings?" Naomi asked curiously.


"Kenyang dong" Rio replied.


"Must be full if you eat two, your stomach capacity will not be that big" Ledek Naomi.


Rio just chewed his food ignoring Naomi, while Naomi confidently held her hand on the table to look at Rio who was eating. Shortly after Rio spent a portion of food, he presented a tray that he had been guarding very carefully.


"Kenyang ah" he said.


Naomi laughed amusedly at Rio's behavior, she already knew it would happen.


After finishing her breakfast, Naomi and Rio rushed off. They stopped at a playground in Jakarta.


"Dufan?" asked Rio astonished.


"Yes, I want to go to the beach, same day with you. Want a lot of photos" cried Naomi at the entrance.


The atmosphere of Dufan at that time was empty of visitors, other than because Monday is not the right time to vacation. Everyone is busy working, or at school. They were there. Stranded, on Naomi's will.


Naomi ran to hold Rio's hand when he just entered from the entrance, her eyes exploring scanning the wahan wahana that had just been launched a few months ago.


"You want this, want that"


"You ride it"


"This abbis, that one"


"That abbis, that one over there"


"One Nao, this is just us still queuing" Tegur Rio.


"This abbot, we're there" Naomi ignored Rio's words.


Naomi's spirit is not broken, the woman is possessed. If he usually grumbles when exposed to sunlight, this time he penetrates all sunlight. His spirit was blazing greater than the heat of the sun.


"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Shouted Naomi while riding a terrifying ride.


"Hahahahahahahahahaha" Laughs Naomi as she rides a thrilling ride.


"That's what, why it's there, that's where, where they bought it, I want to buy" Naomi said while exploring.


So Naomi, with a thousand ways that always make Rio can not turn away, even only Naomi who she saw when there was a crowd. To her Naomi was like having a thousand faces, a thousand ways that wherever she went, she would always remember Naomi. Naomi can be any, spoiled girl, mature, selfish cheerful, somber, Naomi is herself. What he saw on his face was always true to himself.


"Nao, let's eat first" Rio asked.


It was late afternoon when they came out of the rides, the beach was indeed the best place to look at the sunset. With a wide viewpoint, far away but charming anyone who sees it. There, Rio was hugging Naomi while waiting for the ruler of light to drown and sleep. Tightly, Naomi clasped Rio's hand.


"Beautiful to Ri" muttered Naomi.


"Yes beautiful, I love it" Rio said as he looked at Naomi's face unwittingly.


Since earlier Rio was just staring at Naomi who was staring deep into the sea.


"I also like you Ri, really like it" Naomi said without dismissing.


"Don't miss me" added Naomi. "If you say you miss me, I'll want to go home" he explained.


Rio just nodded his head in agreement. The wind continued to gently sweep their faces. There was the sound of waves colliding in the dock. There are many people there, just as they are waiting. Some just keep quiet, some talk, and take photos just to capture this moment.


"Do you want a photo ? I'm taking photos" Rio said.


"You don't know what we can remember longer than a photo ?" ask Naomi.


"what?"


"What we see now. I want you to take this, lest we ever be here. Both" Gentle Naomi said.


"I love you, yesterday, today, and hopefully tomorrow" whispered Naomi softly.


Naomi's words were like she was answering Rio's entire concern. His entire fear suddenly turned into a firm conviction. A belief that has accompanied her for years, a belief that Naomi will always return to her.


"I love you more" Reply Rio.


That afternoon was closed gently, where Rio fell asleep on Naomi's shoulder while holding Naomi's hand on the carriage. Naomi was grateful that when she came home they could sit on the train.


Sometimes, separation is just an excuse for two people to continue with each other's lives. Without trailing the past, worries or regrets. For people who cannot be separated by distance, separation is the way. Although it hurts, but love will always know where it will lead. And for those who have always believed, separation is just a matter of waiting. Because even though the distance keeps changing the feeling will never change.

"Sir, don't forget to pick up tomorrow at the airport at three in the afternoon. Keep directly transfer to the Apartment yes" said a woman was ordering by phone.


Closing the phone, he then knocked on the door of the room and entered as soon as he got the order.


"Have all the preparations been completed?" Ask a man behind a chair.


"It's just waiting for him to come" he replied.


"Please don't disappoint me"


The woman nodded, she then tidied up all the documents on her desk and followed the man out of the room.
