THE MENTARY FOR THE ESTUARY

CHAPTER 25, SUDDENLY NGARTIS (AND RIANA WAS DEPRESSED)

“Mbak, can you please have a minute?”

“Mbak is Elsa's late friend, right? How long have you known?”

“Mbak, can be told how the chronology of Elsa's accident?”

“Mbak foreboding what before Elsa's departure?”

“Mbak..”

“Mbak..”

“Mbak..”

“Aaaaaaaa, NGGAAAAKKKK!”riana screams in frustration. Now, he shut himself up in his boarding room. For almost two days he had gone nowhere, avoiding anything. It seemed, this had something to do with the line of reporters hunting him, forcing him, asking him some things he did not want to answer. During these two days, he has been serving journalists as much as he can, he has answered all their questions, with hospitality that was forced to be extra enhanced. Actually Riana knows, they are not wrong, they are just a line of life fighters who make money through news containers, but, yes that is also the way, too, do not have to force and pressure people just for their own interests.

Whafs-tok... A knock on the door, slow and orderly. Riana removed the pillow from next to her ear, and opened the door without a word.

“Mbak Ri...” greet Selena slowly, when she sees the girl with really disheveled hair, plus her cute and reddened eyes. This inner pressure has apparently disrupted his sleep patterns and rest patterns.

“Mbak, something's coming..”

“If it's a reporter, I don't want to! I should have died with Elsa, I don't like being scammed, I don't like being pressured, I don't like being forced!” his screams. He picked up a mirror on the table, and prepared to throw it. But Selena quickly caught the gesture, and took the mirror immediately from Riana's hand.

“Not mbak, I swear not a journalist... Ms. Dian has also warned us here, if you can not receive many guests, what else journalists. Bu Dian is also worried about the same mbak, so mbak calm yes, journalists do not have access to come here.” Selena said while trembling hands returned the mirror to the table. He became a bit wary of leaving Riana alone in this condition. You see, he can not only hurt himself, but can also hurt others.

“When that is, who? Who's coming?” ask Riana. His eyes were sharp, completely unfriendly. But Selena is undaunted. Because for her, this will only happen temporarily, in fact, Riana is a good girl, as long as there are no bad things that disturb her inner calm and soul, like this time.

“He's a big boy, like a high school boy, he said your sister... Her name... Who was it?”

“Tell him to come in here, please lead, he is visually impaired.” said Riana coldly. In this chaotic condition, it turns out that he still prioritizes ethics. What's more, Selena's been really good to him.

“Yes, ma'am, I brought him here huh. Wait a minute..” Selena said as she hurriedly exited the girl's room, then ran down again. As said, he picked up the boy, and took him to Riana's room.

***

Riana was crying so much in the arms of the high school boy who was rumored to have arrived by Selena earlier. It was Ganesh, he was having a little business in Jakarta, with his father. But this afternoon, he went home first with Abhi, who he said wanted an event in Malang.

“Yes ALLAH mbak... How can that be so, why?” asked Ganesh while stroking the head and the back of the brother.

“You may be here, you just want to be with you, not with anyone else.” pinta Riana. Ganesh sighed. How can he tell his brother that this afternoon he must return to Malang?

“If I had known about this incident, and if HP could not suddenly not be contacted... I want to mbak nemenin mbak here, really want, but ntar afternoon I have to return to Malang.”.

“Ganesh, please..” Og Riana. Ganesh sighed. O LORD, how is this... Why is the situation so complicated?

“Sorry mbak... Sorry..” Ganesh still hugged the elder brother while calming as he could. Though his initial intention, he wanted to be a surprise for the brother, because it was a coincidence that he was also in Jakarta, and he wanted to stop by the boarding girl without telling her first. Uh, how is the situation turning around now? Even he was surprised to know Riana's condition was not okay.

“This Mas Abhi tau not about the condition of mbak like gini?” asked Ganesh unconsciously.

“Supposed to know, because said the children, some days he came here nyari mbak. But seriously Nesh, the reporters are amazingly scary for mbak.” said Riana.

“Yes I know... Well how the hell is that? No one can understand what this condition is about? Ma'am I don't want to be an artist woi, so the artist in a real way through the work just he's not how willing, what else in this way? Belom again later there are netizens without morals that bully; say mompleng name, here, that, hangkrik!” Ganesh involuntarily murmured inside the room. He immediately picked up his phone, and in the chaos of – while still hugging his brother tightly, he sent a WhatsApp message to Abhi.

[Mas, yoopo iki, my sister?] Mas Abhi is typing

[Why Nesh? Why mama?] feeling less efficient due to a long time typing on the phone, Ganesh decided to send a voice note only, explaining everything.

“Yes geez... So that's the reason why Riana's two-day HP can't be contacted? Well yes bother if this is how..” Abhi replied to the voice message.

“That's it, mas, so what should I do?” ask Ganesh again, still through the voice note.

“Wait... Now that I'm there, he'll see you?” ask Abhi.

“Jajalen anyway, do not wait here mas,” replied Ganesh again.

***

“Ri, his Ganesh back to Malang first, yes, no papa right? Poor you know, soon again he entered school.” persuaded Abhi. Now the two of them live in Riana's room, her Ganesh again in the bathroom, for a business we used to call... Bathing (yes yes dong, if cooking, must be in the kitchen, not there).

“GOD is not Ri. You have to be calm, and you have to think positively. Ok call me pretentious or whatever, because this time, I really do not know the type of trauma and pressure you face, so your condition can be this severe. But try yes, invite yourself to think positively, who knows this can help. Sorry, I can only give you that advice.” said Abhi sadly. Riana rubbed the man's arm, and smiled later.

“Yes yes, Bhi? If I avoid continuing like this, the completion will be when?” riana said slowly.

“That's him... Face it, then finish it. I know, you are not the type of person who likes to run away from problems, you are the most responsible person I know..” said Abhi. Riana smiled, then got up from her lying position. He was so absorbed in Abhi's words. And indeed, if there is a problem it is solved, not left running. You see, if you have run back again, the problem will still be there, so the run was the same in vain. Cook will you run again, keep coming back? It continues until one of the Upin-Ipin twins grows hair! Not clean what is there.

Riana went to her dresser, opened one of the drawers, took her phone. It's been two days that he deactivated the phone, surely many things that are too late to be handled and resolved. Riana was a bit worried as well... What if things escape his attention, one of them is about his work? Ow hell! Feeling anxious, he waited for the phone to turn on. And after the phone showed signs of life, his first phone immediately rang. Without seeing the name, he answered it. And a spate of scolding just came out, like a barrage of bullets fired uninterruptedly by a line of soldiers who were training.

“Mbak Yuraaaa, stop first!” exclaim Riana exasperated. When did he answer the question if the one with the nyerocos question continues to do so?

“Ehehehe, sorry-sorry, Ri. After I came here anyway, felt hosted tau, suddenly lo number can not be contacted so..”.

“Makanya, I want a story, can you stop first?” riana's Nagging. Yura's own fault, anyway. Don't know if Riana's emotions are super-duper unstable.

“Iya-iya, yes. Why?” ask Yura at last. Finally Riana told me everything in detail. You see, Yura is one of her best friends also since High School, but not one group with Milia and Maura, because Yura is their upperclassman, two levels above.

“Oalaaaah yes ampuuuun, so lo his position again diuber-uber journalists now, Ri?” yura asked in shock, after Riana finished her story.

“Yes so mbak, I stress so much...” complained Riana.

“Yes it is grind, besides I also know elo, elo not so like to be interviewed like that, what else if the way bar-bar. But there is one good journalist who I know, his name is Elok, later I fouin to him deh, he is a senior, if he writes about ethics and there is a journalist, if he writes about ethics, must be in their hands..”.

“Do not mbak, this is not entirely their fault as well, they are just work, and their work requires it as such.” said Riana.

“Yes but a bit wrong also way, chasing until make depressed so... Do you want to see a psychologist to not heal the trauma? I'm sure, sure things like ginian make you traumatized, I'm afraid you can't stop if it's time to meet a lot of people, it's hard too.” proposed Yura.

“Therefore such professional help is also what I'm looking for mbak, but like for now, I don't need much deh.”

“OK, later if you need it, I'll tell you. Yeah, let’s back to the topic. What about my offer yesterday about the broadcast on the radio?” and finally, the conversation around the job lasted for almost an hour.

***

“Makaaaannnn!” ganesh shouted suddenly, as Riana and Abhi were busy chatting in Riana's room laughing.

“Holy spirit of you, Nesh? Last order online was?” riana asked as she welcomed her sister. Oh yes, he has taken a shower, has been cleaning, has been left by the side now, anyway it's like a man again deh, Just his red eyes that you know, do not worry.

“No, it came out with the same beautiful mother, mbak-mbak college. What's-her-name? Selena?” ask ganesh while smiling meaningfully.

“Heh, Hani arep mbok apakne, tau-tau already smitten with the others aja..” comments Abhi while closing the screen of his phone.

“Lho, don't worry mas, already cambek his son, because I update the same story Sister Selena was at the place to eat.” Ganesh grimacing.

“Heh, his sister became a play group, uh, playboy, taught who?” riana asked while playing Ganesh's ear.

“Diajarin Mas Abhi, mbak, owneeeeekkkk..” replied Ganesh accordingly, making Abhi almost puffed.

“Asem, ora yooo... La keep yoopo iku Hani?” ask Abhi.

“No idea, I'll call him back later. It's easy to persuade him, as long as his position is no longer rampaging..”.

“Ngamuk how?” asked Abhi curiously.

“Ya mosquito... Like emotionally, her character Mbak Hani is the same as Mbak Riana, if it has been down or why, difficult to persuade... Yes if for Mbak Hani now, I have to work hard deh persuinnya, because he is jealous, anyway.”.

“Sama ya kayak author who wrote our story?” chirped Abhi. Duh this kid, never before had to be thrown shoes all on the shelves, huh? It could be again his author. Ntar did not go on hiatus, did not stop the story to know their sense!

“Eh pardon, thor, geez, no more gibah, deh..”.

“Heh, iki sido not followed by iki ceritane? Even do gelut dewe-dewe!” Yeah-yes, ah. This is Abhi fishing. Yes, yes, you want to eat too, right? The story distop up here aja yes, later directly continued part 26.

“Lho, why is this the author?”

No, yes, until here first.
