Tone & Sound
#81 [Bab. first sunset for us]
A few hours passed quickly. The sun sinks far away at the end of the ocean. One constellation appeared flirtatious in the sky. Banda Neira is getting pretty tonight.
Today the festival opening ceremony was completed this afternoon. Four Jazz bands and twenty-seven local dancers closed the day very well. Stunningly. All the spectators cheered in amazement. The opening of the festival went well today. And hopefully the next days will be just as good.
Two more days left. Summer Jazz lasted only three days. Whereas the previous plan, the festival will last for one week. Uncertain weather and other obstacles undo the plan. "At least with that short time, the world already knows one of Indonesia's paradise" explained Cikal on Nada. They met backstage.
Talk for a while and ask each other the news. Cikal apologized to Nada for not keeping his promise. Time in Amsterdam Cikal said that Nada will take care of this festival. But everything doesn't go according to plan. Nada nods. Smilingly.
That's not a problem. Because even though he did not take care of the festival, presumably Nada has become a guest of VVIP. Nada also thanked Cikal for taking care of everything. Airplanes, hotels, private drivers. They laugh.
After that Cikal discussed a little about the development of Nada music and his decision not to train Nada again. Of course Nada was very surprised to hear that. But after Cikal further explained, Nada finally understood. Cikal said, Nada doesn't need it anymore. Like a boat that is sailing, now Nada has the right to determine the direction of its own destination. Cikal smiled thinly. After the Summer Jazz festival was over, Cikal wanted to go around the world. Re-realize his old dreams. Nada nods. It was a surprise and a difficult decision.
Their conversation is over. Curls can't last long. He had to go back to the festival. Cikal closed their conversation by telling Nada that on the last day of the festival, Cikal will appear as the closing ceremony. That was his last appearance too. And Cikal wants Nada to see that. It turns out that in addition to being a manager, Cikal also acts as a performer. The tone is definitely nodding. Looking at the last performance of one of Amsterdam's best organ players, anyone would not want to miss the opportunity.
"Nay, take a look. Pretty, right. There were a lot of starfish. Aaaa..." Una puts his laptop on Naira. Clap ones hands. Hysterical.
"The fire was only fifteen minutes" Jeje said from the corner of the hotel room. Una Melek. Frowning.
Laughing tone.
They're all back at the hotel now. One day in Banda Neira is enough to make the atmosphere of a lively hotel room. I was like the night market. Jeje and Una took turns telling each other what they had done to Nada and Naira. Photos of the underwater world, Una who had slipped on the boat, and Jeje who was almost stung by a jellyfish. Nada and Naira laughed. The two centil fairies told me in great detail. Occasionally, they also hurt each other.
Nada glanced at Naira. Now it's Naira's turn to tell the story. Jeje began to ask about what Naira and Abhimanyu had done. Yeah, they both left. Even Una had a chance to explain their approach. But Naira doesn't want to tell. He said it was all a secret. Jeje and Una get upset.
Tone stepped slowly on the shore. Right behind the hotel. His feet were on the white sand. He also has a diary of his. Tone can't sleep. It is now 10:30 p.m.
Last time it was his turn to tell a story, three fairy centils also nanyain Nada ngapain aja. Where was that daily one. Nada said she's not going anywhere. Just saw the opening of the festival and had a chat with Cikal for a while. He didn't say that he met the same sound. Tone of that secret. Nada does not want three fairy centil know that Sound is in Banda Neira.
The story session ended. Jeje and Una rushed to sleep. They're exhausted. Meanwhile Naira is still awake. His eyes are staring at the phone screen. Maybe chat with Abhimanyu. After which, Nada stepped out of the hotel room.
Earlier, Nada did not want his friends to know that Sound was in Banda Neira. Yes, because when you leave Jakarta, when Sound suddenly says, when the heart of Nada again is not okay because of that, three fairy centil know everything. They know all the things about Tone and Sound even when Tone hasn't told you a story yet.
As a friend, they know what Nada's heart is. Three percentile fairies know that the Tone of Thought continues to sound. They know about that feeling too. Even while in Jakarta, while waiting for the plane's departure, the three centil fairies gave their respective opinions about Bunyi.
"I guess he just wants to mess around, Nad. Isn't that right, Na?"
"Yes. I became my best friend Digniin. What try that. Give me hope, but a loss. Glasses are men."
Tone noticed. Jeje and Una were right.
"But if I think so, a serious sound. Maybe now he's on urgent business, Nad. So yeah, can't afford to lose you."
Nada glanced at Naira. Naira was right. He is the most calming.
The wind blows sayup. Rain suddenly falls. One-two specks about the cheek Tone. Stopped the daydream just now. The tone turned the face away from the sea. Turn around, step back into the hotel. But before arriving at the hotel, it rained suddenly. Running tone. Trying to avoid the rain and cover his head. Tonight the storm will come down.
