Tone & Sound
#50 [The sun was sinking, nan]
[Recommendation Backsound fitting when reading this : Stephan Moccio - Sea Change]
...How is something missing?...
The car is running normally. His three best friends are busy with their respective activities. Jeje, who was sitting in front of Mr. Tono, seemed to be watching a piece of Azalea that Bu Mira gave to him while in Blanche. Meanwhile, on the back bench, Naira and Una were looking at some of the photos they had taken in many places while in Amsterdam.
But, their friend whose heart may not be okay, is staring at the goals of every part of Jakarta that passed. Thinking something. But this time it wasn't about her meeting with Miss Ann. Except for Mr. Karso.
Is Mr Karso coming? Is Nada going to see her again at home? Maybe that is the kind of question that is on his mind. But, if longing could be calculated with all kinds of comparisons, it seemed impossible. Mr. Karso certainly will not come. And once again Nada thought again about the whereabouts of his father. Which is completely gone like being swallowed by the earth.
Mobile Phone Vibrating tone. He stopped his dreamy gaze from behind the car glass. And immediately see the phone. That, incoming messages.
***
Hi, princess rain. What are you again? Let me guess. Get me again, will you?
***
Sound. That's a message from him. Tone watched around for a moment, then looked at the message again. He didn't look wrong. That was indeed a message coming in from Sound.
Nada was indeed upset at the Sound. Yes, which woman is not upset with men who come and go as they please. Sounds are annoying. But for some reason, the expression of Tone was different when it came to knowing the message from Sound. Not upset anymore, it seems happy.
***
Nan, where are you?
Wh why? You miss me the same? New time just met uda directly kangen anyway, Lea?
Could it not be a day without a fight, Nan?
Yeah, you. Can you just be honest one day with your own feelings, Lea?
Yeudah, I go up to the tree first.
How to get up the tree?
You see, I want to take a bird's wing to fly into space, Lea.
***
Tone of laughter slowly. Sound always has a way of making it like this. Yes, although it can be said to be silly, but is not happy can also be obtained in simple ways? Sound always has its own way.
"There is a smile of his own, Nay." said Una suddenly. Glancing Nada.
"Yes. Who the hell is chat, Nad? Until the smile itself?" ask Naira.
The one asked steadied his smile.
"The same frog prince." replied Nada.
"What?!" jeje shouted from the front bench.
Naira and Una looked at each other.
When the sad news was there, since leaving Amsterdam, Jeje, Naira, and Una had never seen the happy face of their best friend. Because the news of grief and returning to Jakarta is indeed a very heavy choice for Nada. Sadness was the answer even though Nada always hid it from the look of his face.
But, look at it now. The sadness was gone for a moment. Getting swept away by something. Like a drizzle that slowly subsides as dusk begins to arrive. Like a cold night that ended because it turned out the moonlight came brighter. Feelings never lie and will always be the most honest.
Sound has a very important role to happy tone now. Though annoying. Despite being a man who does not know the word greeting when it comes and saying goodbye when leaving. But sometimes, feelings are not always about how someone comes and goes well or vice versa. Because of the feeling, it is not about that and much more than that.
