Tone & Sound
#22 [Chapter blue sky and five friends]
Nada was silent for a moment. The annoyance that had disturbed his feelings when Beguni called twice, now turned into a sense of awkward.
..."Hola,"...
..."Yes, Mas sorry. I thought it was some freak who called me earlier,"...
..."I am now at the airport. Half an hour away from my plane Take Off. I'm just saying, you're not performing at New Hall. They replaced you with another Jazz musician. But you don't worry. Three days you go to Banda Neira, help me take care of the Jazz festival. I told my assistant to get all the transport ready if you want. You stay off. Hows it? Do you want to, or not?"...
There was a feeling of pleasure and a little disappointment that Nada felt when Cikal told the news. But, taking care of the Jazz festival also means the same. At least, he can learn a lot from Cikal and see the best Jazz musicians perform. Tone doesn't think much. He accepted Cikal's invitation.
..."Yeah, Mas."...
..."Okay. Tomorrow, my assistant will meet you. And three more days, I'm waiting in Banda Neira."...
Tuut
The phone's dead. Tone put down the phone. Then step back to the couch. The awkward face was at least gone after the call from Cikal was over. But now it was as if he was thinking about something. Baffled.
"What did the sound say, Nad?" ask Naira. Enthusiastic.
Tone shaking.
"That's not Sound. That's Mas Cikal."
"Your music teacher who came to that building? That cute one?" ask Jeje.
Nada nods.
"She said, I have to go to Banda Neira in three days. Help him run the Summer Jazz festival there."
"Keep, you want to?" ask Naira.
Tone nodded slowly.
"Yey! Vacation again.." cried Jeje. Eager.
"Gue has never been to Banda Neira. But people say, the place is good." he added.
"Yes, the most ntr there you nyari guy again.." ledek Naira.
Jeje nodded for sure. "Yes! How do you know, Nay? Crazy... Now you're Indihome's son, Nay?"
"Aboutigo!"
"Yes that's what I mean."
Naira turned her face away from Jeje who still looked excited at the news that Nada had just delivered. While the one who delivered the news, smiling saw his two best friends happy to hear the news.
Tone thinking.
Perhaps there later, he could completely forget the bitter memories that had been following him. I hope Banda Neira is the right place for that. In addition to learning about Jazz and meeting some of the best Jazz musicians, Nada can also enjoy all the beauty contained in the place. Neira Banda. Many hearts have been blessed, and many hearts will be healed. Hope so.
Tone back against the sofa.
"So, what was that noise about calling you, Nay?" ask Naira.
Tone divided his sitting position, stopping his backrest on the sofa.
"What?! Call you, Nay?" Una who has been using earphones since, now takes off his earphones. Join the conversation.
"She said you wanted to come here. He told me to take a shower, keep wearing all white dress." said Nada a little annoyed.
"Well, how can you?" ask Naira. Curious.
Even Jeje who was excited about the news to Banda Neira, now also focus on paying attention to Nada's explanation.
"Sovernight, Miss Mira asked me to take her flowers at Bloem's this morning. And Ma Mira said, I went there just as sound." explained Nada.
"Gue really doesn't want to. I'm upset with him. But I can't refuse Ms. Mira's request." she added.
Jeje, Naira, and Una stare at each other.
"OMG, Nada.." cried Jeje. "Lo's not enthusiastic about going out with a guy like Sound?"
"Yes, you know." added Naira.
"Why wasn't I invited, huh?" una polo said.
All eyes were on him for a moment.
Then Jeje stood up from the sofa. "Girls..." Jeje winked at Naira and Una. Hinted something.
Confused tone. Not understanding the meaning of the blink of his best friend's eyes.
However, Naira and Una who understood the meaning of Jeje's blink of an eye, immediately moved away from the sofa. Stepping towards the Tone. They urged Nada to get off the sofa immediately.
"Come on," urged Naira.
"Where are you going, Nay?" tanya Nada was confused.
Naira did not answer. Smile even. Naira and Una pull Nada's hand to get off the sofa. Jeje also helped. Nada had no idea what her three best friends were going to do. But due to the insistence of the three, Nada was forced to follow them stepping towards the room.
