Eps. 24
Work hours are over. For today there happens to be no overtime. I can rest longer, because tomorrow I will go home. I also happen to take a vacation.
As usual, I went home with Rere. Followed by Andry from behind. We greeted each other in front of the hostel before we parted ways. I thank my two friends.
"Thank you, it's been ushered."
"The same, Cha."
"Oh yes, during the holidays please handle my work yes. Haha."
"Not to be told to look at it either."
"Yes, we say hello to Cha. You hearted tomorrow may the destination safely."
"Yes, amen. You are hearts too, yes. See you around the day."
As this foot was about to step, a man's voice called out to me. I spontaneously looked back. Someone got off the white motorbike. He then approached me.
My eyes did not blink looking at the man in front of me. Her burly body, and her white skin made me gasp at her.
"Jy...Jimmy."
"It's like seeing a ghost, Cha. Don't look at me don't wear glares. Seriously, you know."
"Ehm, yes. I was just shocked. Why are you here, why? Don't don't you follow me, okay?"
"You said you never miss, Cha. I intentionally followed you."
"What's? So you're really following me?"
"Yes, Cha. Just want to know where you live. It turns out that here, it's not far from Resto either."
"Ehm, yes. It's cheap here, so I can skimp. You know what my life is."
"You haven't changed before."
"Yes that's how."
"By the way it was that afternoon, it was really your future husband, Cha?"
"Yes, why?"
"not what, anyway."
"I'm sorry Jim, do you have any need for me? It's night, it's not good to see people."
"Actually I just want to talk, Cha. But maybe the timing isn't right."
"Oh, I think there's something important."
"Hehe.I miss you, Cha. I found you, and now I've met you. But the truth is that you are different now. Not the Icha I knew first."
"What do you mean, Jim? I'm still the same as I used to be. Nothing has changed a bit."
"She, Cha. You've changed."
"I haven't changed, Jim."
"The Icha I knew before didn't belong to anyone. But the present Icha will belong to someone else. That's the difference between you then and now, Cha. And I, still the same as before. With the same taste and still pent up."
"What the hell are you talking about, Jim. I don't know what you mean."
"Oh, forget it. No need to talk anymore."
"Yes, sorry it's night. Tomorrow I have to get up early and go home for a few days."
"Yes, cha. Then I say goodbye first. Sorry I followed you. It's for you, Cha. This is the stuff I promised you. Hope you like it."
"What is this, Jim?"
"Later you will also know what it is. I'll take my leave, Cha. Good, you are."
A kiss landed right on my cheek. I was very surprised by Jimmy's actions. I don't know what that means. Then he left in front of me and waved his hand.
I looked at Jimmy who was getting away from me. Then I rushed into the room. I opened the gift from Jimmy.
How surprised I was to know it. A mukena and two hijabs. Then in my mind I remembered something.
Five years ago, I met Jimmy on a bus when I got home from school. We chatted and ended up exchanging mobile numbers.
Because our school is different and the distance of the house is also quite far. We can only exchange news through our cell phones. Sometimes we meet when we have time.
I went to his house and met his parents. They were very kind and friendly to me. I'm a little bit inferior to him. Jimmy is the only child of the family. As for me, an orphan from a lower family. I also rarely keep my distance. Not to get lost in a feeling.
It was from that introduction that we finally became close. Yeah, I used to like him. But never dare to reveal.
And then finally graduation arrived. We exchanged news if we graduated. We congratulate each other.
Since then, our relationship has become strained. Maybe because of the busyness of each, communication becomes reduced. I rarely get messages from him.
When I got accepted to work in a factory, I got word from him. If he was in London and worked there. And he also had time to call me, express his feelings all this time the same as me.
Surprised by Jimmy's words. So all this time we kept the same taste. But never dared to reveal it.
He also promised to come back and see me. And he asked me too. If he returns, he will give me a face and a hijab for me. I am also very happy to hear it.
Because of the busyness of each of us finally lost contact. Only once or twice exchanged news. I wanted to send her a message, but was afraid that there would be no reply. I always have that intention.
And in the end we really lost track. After a few booms never heard, I tried to call him. Unfortunately, the number is inactive. I tried to send a message, it was not sent.
That's where I gave up. I'm no longer finding out about him. I try not to remember it. Maybe he's not for me. From then on, I focused on work.
Since I was sick, I stopped working. And choose to rest at home. After being completely healed, then I tried to find a job in the city of Semarang.
And this is where I start a new life. Very pleasant work. Good friend friend. And I am grateful that I can meet someone who will soon be my life partner. Rendy Argawinata is my future husband.
When I will be happy, why would anyone in the past be present. Things like this are really disturbing my mind. Moreover, he also expressed his feelings that were still the same as before.
I don't know what to do. Rohman, who had no news now, reappeared. And now Jimmy, the people of the past are also now present again in my life.
Maybe it is true, if the person who is going to get married there will be a test. One of them is the return of people in the past. And this is what I'm going through right now.
