Tone & Sound

#15 Sirius

• • •

A few hours passed after that. The day started late afternoon. The sky looks a little cloudy when viewed from the window of the room. Tone stroked Alya's forehead, released the handrails of the little girl who was hugging him, and got out of bed. Likewise with the sound that goes up from the chair that is beside the bed. They would probably leave the little girl sleeping now. Nada grabbed the blanket that was beside Alya. Stretch the blanket and put it on Alya's body. Covered it. After that, they moved out of the room and out of the building.

A little tiring day. But happy enough for the little girl's heart. They did a lot of things. Such as singing together, playing guesses about habitable planets other than earth, watching a short Tibetan documentary, and dancing. Alya is so happy. It was clearly visible from the look on his face. The sound had whispered to Nada that she had never seen Alya so happy since two years ago. Especially for laughter. I was happy never to laugh. But just now, Alya had laughed out loud after seeing Beep tripping her own legs and falling to the floor. The sound could not follow the movement of the Tone dancing salsa. His face was a little irritated because Sound thought Nada was deliberately giving a difficult movement so that he could not imitate it. But even so the sound does not give up even though the results remain the same. Fall, fall, and fall again. Indeed, no one will be able to match or imitate the movement of the Tone when doing the dance. "Other times before embarrassing yourself, it's good you see the tutorial on youtube, sister." said Alya with a big laugh on the bed. Same with Nada.

After that, Alya started to get sleepy. Some things start to drain his energy. Alya says she wants to sleep but it has to be with her bedtime story. The sound that heard it immediately understood and immediately stepped towards a small cupboard beside Alya's bed, opened the second drawer, and took out a book containing fairy tales of the past. But before Sound read it, Alya said he did not want to be read a fairy tale from the book again. Even he was a little protested because he had to hear the same story for the umpteenth time. Alya said she really didn't want that story. Alya urged that another fairy tale be read. It makes the sound confused. He doesn't know what to do.

But, on the other hand Nada stepped closer and sat down beside Alya. Nada says let her tell me something like Alya's bedtime story. Then Nada whispered and told Alya that she was going to tell him about Harry Potter. But not about the fairy tale. It is a story about a writer named J. K. Rowling. A great woman who continues to fight for her writing despite being rejected by many book publishers until finally she succeeded and became one of the best writers in the world. Hearing that, Alya nodded. He was very interested and agreed. The voice that also heard it nodded slowly then sat down on the chair. "Maybe this story will be the best story I've ever heard, Madame." Alya whispered with a smile. Tone nodded and smiled as well. Not long after, Alya hugged Nada and closed her eyes as Nada started telling stories. Finally the little girl fell asleep.

"You should always pay attention to it. And tell me right away if anything happens to her." He looked at Antonio.

"Yes, sir." Antonio nodded in understanding.

Before he could get out of the building, Antonio came to meet Nada and Bunyi. The man told Alya's condition to Sound. How is the improvement and the percentage of the possibility of recovery of the little girl. At first, there was no possibility. But after seeing the development of Alya who was able to survive beyond the verdict given by many doctors, now the possibility becomes real. The voice that heard it was very happy. There was at least some hope for the little elf's beautiful smile to live a long life. On the other hand, Nada who heard that smiled happily as well. After that, Antonio drove them forward. A taxi was waiting for them there. Tone and Sound went up to the taxi after Sound said the sentence to Antonio. A minute later, the taxi left the building.

Journey home. Taxi to Nada rental house. While in Alya's room, Bunyi said he would immediately take Nada home. Bunyi also said that they do not have to go again to attend the opening ceremony of the nursing home because Bunyi has told others to replace them. Especially because time is not possible. Maybe the show is over now. Tone agreed. He wants to go home on rent soon. Remembering today Nada had to take care of her belongings to take home to Jakarta tomorrow.

Five minutes taxi walk. Tone leaning on the bench. Closing his eyes while putting his cell phone in a bag after having time to reply to several messages in whatsapp group. As she left the building, Nada told the three fairies in the group that she was on her way home to the rental house. Suddenly it was immediately greeted by a ignorant response and many messages of seduction from them. "He's not gonna get married, Nad?" woo Una in the group. "Non't you, Nad?" Jeje added below. They are so nosy. In addition, they also share a little interesting experience while traveling around Paris today. Send some photos and voice messages. "I'll tell you a story, Nad. So exciting. Uh, uh you know. Jeje had been-" Una tried to explain a little of their excitement but her enthusiastic voice suddenly stopped after Jeje closed her mouth. Naira also added and said the experience was a very beautiful experience in her life. It's a shame everything has to end fast. Tomorrow they must leave Paris.

"Tin! tin! tin!"

"Tin!"

Tone rose from his backrest. The sound of horns rang out to each other outside. He glanced at the car glass. Outside the streets seem a little jammed. Especially now it is raining very hard. From behind the car glass, the leaves fall as the sky water spills. It seems like the wind is also blowing. The park lights not far from the taxi cars blinked repeatedly. Somehow these few days Paris is often a storm every night.

Tone turns away the face. Re-leaning, now he seemed to be stealing a glance towards the Sound. The man seemed busy. Since he took the taxi, he hasn't spoken at all. The sound just kept staring at his cell phone screen. It looks like he's focused on work or something. Smiling tone. Although the man is annoying for him, but Nada also can not lie if he had been amazed at the Sound when Sound cares about the state of Alya. Sounds like it has a good heart. It turns out he's not really that annoying.

"Lea," The voice suddenly called out.

"Yes, Nan." Spontaneous tone answered. Unconsciously still smiling.

Instantly the look on the face changed. The smile that was there disappeared immediately. Tone looks upset. Just now he was praising the Sound in the heart. Once a bitch will still suck.

"Aww!" The sound screams in shock. Tone stomped his feet. The taxi driver looked up from the windshield.

Maybe Nada's annoyance can't stand it anymore. Tone stared at Sound while smiling sinisterly. The sound was still a little painful and shocked. Although still not feeling guilty and showing body gestures, why. But Nada said nothing. Before the bag finally shook. Like there was a call coming in from his cell phone. Tone instantly grabbed the phone from inside the bag while still smiling sinisterly towards Sound, looking at the screen, one missed call and one message appearing on the screen.

There's something I want to tell you. It's about, Mama.

Tone turned his gaze away. Looking at the glass taxi.

Fifteen minutes drive, the taxi arrives at the rental house. The sound opened the taxi door, opened the umbrella and went down. He rushed to the other side of the taxi. After that, Nada came down as well. The sound of the tone. They hurried to the door of the house. The rain is still falling very hard. Even the wind felt extremely cold piercing the skin. After delivering Nada, Beep returned to the taxi. He said nothing and got into a taxi. Task finished. Now the man can go. The tone still standing at the door of the rental house looked towards the taxi until finally the taxi disappeared from his view.

Tone turned body. Open the door of the house. Come onl. You can guess what happened. Yeah, correct. The three centile fairies stood right in front of Nada then startled her. They stood up while smiling. They have been waiting for Nada's return since. Their faces are very enthusiastic to see the return of his best friend from the first date. Although Nada has told repeatedly that her departure with Sound is not a date, but her three friends will always assume it is a date.

The tone was immediately showered with a lot of questions. Especially Jeje and Una. They asked one-two questions that made Nada laugh to hear him. Like how it feels to be in a position of hate then love, or whether a kiss in Paris is fun. Their voices completely filled the entire room. In the end, they were silent and received no answer at all. Naira pinches Jeje and Una's ears. Urge not to ask such ridiculous questions again. At last they all reached the living room. Sitting on the couch.

There, the rumbling returned after Jeje and Una's voices filled the room again. Not only did Nada take a breath and then sit quietly, the two centile fairies were indeed too enthusiastic. Jeje and Una alternately told me about today. One day is amazing if it can be translated from the look of both faces. Like enjoying the view of the sailboat on the river Siene and of course with three glasses of citron presses, around the Louvre museum, and much more. Smiling tone heard that. I am happy and excited to hear it all. What an amazing experience. Even on the sidelines of it all, Jeje and Una had a little fight. Naira said they had a little trouble when Jeje put gum in one of the historical statues in the museum. Fortunately, this problem can be solved. Not to mention when Una had time to tell want to go to Paris Disneyland. But Jeje refused. It was late in the afternoon and it was raining very hard. They decided to go home early.

Half an hour passed. The living room looks empty. Tone stepped into the room. Three centile fairies were also in their rooms. Now it's time to get ready for tomorrow's return. Nada had to clean up her stuff immediately. Tomorrow Paris will be completely abandoned. All the needs are ready. The school has also sent her graduation e-mail. Cikal set it all up before.

Tone sitting on the bed. Looking at the dewy window. This day, Nada forgot Cikal. Especially about that place. Neira Banda. Whether Cikal had gotten there or whether Nada had completely forgotten about it. About the festival that Cikal told her a few days ago. I don't know. Nada hasn't decided anything. He did not even reply to Cikal's last message. Because now all he has in mind is to go back to Jakarta. Return to see her mother after three years. Gosh darn. The tone stopped his reverie. Turn your face away from the window and get out of bed.

Tone opened his bag. Take the cell phone there. Message that.

He remembered the message. The message he read in the taxi. Tone sighed then opened the message room on his mobile phone. Read one more sentence there. There's something I want to tell you. It's about, Mama. But at once Nada was confused. No. gabe. Not about the message. But about the sender. No names listed there. Number not known. I don't know from whom. The tone turned his face away from the mobile phone screen. He thought maybe the message was from Bara. But if it's from Bara, why doesn't he call right away if it's really important and about Ms. Ann. Staring at the phone screen again. Pressed one missed call from that unknown number. Tried calling. But it's free. The call failed. The phone number is unlisted or in another sense is inactive.

Tone put the phone on the bed. One thing is for sure, he was sure it was definitely not Bara. Because Bara would never use such a thing at any time. Tone looked back at the room window. Who exactly is the message from.
