UNINTENTIONALLY

Episode 134

_____________________________________________

Dinda woke up from her sleep when her eyeballs felt unable to be closed anymore.

Vague morning sun pierced his hard-to-open eyes.

The cornea of the eye feels sore when it is opened slowly.

"Are you awake?" Not far from the bed, a man said.

"Sister Johan. Sis......" Dinda wasn't surprised, it just felt weird. The man had not left her side yet.

"You just came to your senses, Dinda. Do not force yourself to wake up. You're afraid you haven't fully recovered yet" Johan said worriedly.

"What's wrong with me, brother? What's going on." While asking, Dinda held her head that felt like it was going to break. Be ill. Indeed, Dinda felt a pain in his head like a hit by thousands of great Godam.

"You haven't woken up in two days. I'm worried about you, Dinda. Therefore, please do not force yourself to remember yesterday."

Johan knew that Dinda was thinking about yesterday.

Johan memorized Dinda's thoughts. The thought of Dinda having to know the previous event without waiting for someone else to explain it.

Dinda did not immediately say that she would remember the previous events. But this Johan who was in front of him was somewhat ambiguous.

When I saw Dinda like a confused person. Johan cheered, grinning a small smile.

These two days I put sleeping pills in your body. That's why your eyes are red, your mouth feels hot and your head feels a little heavy. It is all due to the effects of the drug dosage. Take it easy, it's not dangerous. It will soon disappear on its own.

As Dinda began to recover from the headache that slowly subsided. Dinda began to realize that she was not at the hotel where she had last fallen asleep. The whole room was painted in pure white, while in the hotel at that time Dinda still remembered—kalau hotel paint was golden yellow.

Where am I at the moment. Why do I feel like I'm somewhere else. Dinda looked around, indeed what she saw this place was different from before.

"Where are we, Brother Johan, now?" asked Dinda who felt unfamiliar with the atmosphere around her. "Why do I feel like this place is a little weird."

"Ehm..... Sorry Dinda if I brought you here without your consent." Johan actually wanted to keep it a secret where they are now. But Dinda realized that they were no longer in Jakarta, but already in Africa.

"What do you mean, Johan?" Dinda squinted her eyes until narrowed. He saw a doubtful face saying that. "Where are we now, brother?" jakt Dinda panicked. He stood up, looking around the room.

"Dinda calm yourself first. I didn't kidnap you anyway" Johan replied. While he tried to calm Dinda who was panicking this is not because of this. "Please yourself first. We're doing just fine. Don't worry about anything right now. There I am here."

"Then we are where this is, brother. Why do I feel so foreign here!" Although Johan tries to calm her down, Dinda still panics. He looks worried too much.

"We have Ethiopia, Dinda." Johan somewhat raised his voice, Dinda was too emotional from the moment she regained consciousness from her sleep. "You don't panic like that. Now we're in Ethiopia."

Ethiopia? Why am I here. Why am I here. I am not still in Jakarta. Why did you arrive in Ethiopia. How could that happen.

Dinda tried to remember what happened yesterday. But the pain in his head was getting roaring as his brain forced to summon memories in the past. It was not the memory of yesterday that he had, but the pain that had run through his head.

"Two days ago you asked me to take you as far away as possible from your dark side of life. You asked me to leave Jakarta. That's why I brought you to Addis Ababa. It's all at your request."

Johan held Dinda's hand tightly. She wanted to make Dinda less emotional because she knew nothing about this departure.

Dinda's face was already crying late in unexpected feelings. Strange, since when did he say that. How could he not have known that Johan was taking him to Ethiopia.

To be sure, this secret Dinda will not know quickly. It takes time to digest the contents of this problem.

When Johan said those things, it felt like Dinda's body was helpless. He sat languidly on the edge of the bed, lamenting his fate that already did not know how. In the land of people. In a place that did not know what this was like, Dinda could only endure the grief.

"When I said that, brother. When?" Dinda whining. While crying he hit Johan's chest not too strong.

Johan, who was sitting in front of Dinda, resigned when his chest hit Dinda. He knew, Dinda was venting her momentary emotions.

"You said it unconsciously. And I've asked you over and over again if you're sure you want to leave Jakarta. And you are still on your stand to leave Indonesia. Brother Johan did not lie to you Dinda, brother Johan said honestly."

Johan was as natural as he could be. Even though Dinda was sobbing, Johan did not care. Now the most important thing to make Dinda believe that the plan to Ethiopia is Dinda's request.

I'm sorry Dinda lied to you. I'm doing all this because I don't want to lose you anymore.

"But I felt it was just a delirious sleep speech. Brother Johan shouldn't take it too seriously."

Looking at Dinda who kept shedding her tears. Johan who felt Dinda needed a backrest, hugged her with warmth. "You don't worry. If you're better, Johan promised. Brother Johan will take you home. Forgive me for being careless for taking you without waiting for you to come to your senses. I'm sorry Dinda."

Johan stroked the softness of Dinda's hair, the fragrance of the scent of the hair made Johan feel like he was in a flower garden. Honestly, this scent, this atmosphere and this condition that Johan had dreamed of a long time ago.

How else. It's all been happening. Even though Dinda cried so hard that the tears were no longer able to come out—dry. The result is still the same. Time cannot go back to yesterday.

"Sister Johan," whined Dinda. In that embrace Dinda felt rather comfortable. Like a warm hug given by the man Dinda loves the most. He had forgotten his sad story at this moment.

"Hem..," replied Johan while sniffing at the center of the crown of Dinda's head. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya. But the hug has not been released, it is getting warmer and more intimate.

"What about Mom. Does he know how I am now."

"Mom's fine. Don't worry about them. I've asked my people to monitor the situation of your mother and your two sisters" Johan replied. It is not taboo to lie. Being dishonest is a part of human life. Johan is in that part.

"really?" Dinda.

Johan nodded. He knows this story best. "You don't worry, I already know that you're with me" she told a lie.

It was just a word that Johan said. But Dinda felt sure that Johan was telling the truth.

But for Johan it was a joke. In fact, he did not contact Ms. Yuri at all, nor tell her about their current situation. Johan just needs to execute his plan, once it's settled.

You're not a stupid girl Dinda. You just believe too much in the words of others. Always think positive, that's why people think you're special. Don't blame me for lying to you. But blame the circumstances. They forced me to do all this.

For two days Dinda disappeared, Ibu Yuri was very worried. I swear, he felt lifeless when he found out his daughter was taken away by Johan.

On the porch of the house, Ms. Yuri was seen pacing back and forth. Stepping here and there with a mobile phone held tightly in his fingers.

In front of Mother Yuri was only one. Dinda contacted him at the time— amid her apprehension of being shackled. But that's just wishful thinking. The proof, until now there is no news that was received by Ms. Yuri from yesterday.

"Minda. How are you now, son. I'm worried about you right now."

A mother's love is big. It felt like Mother Yuri wanted to cry at all times if Dinda had no news. That face can't lie to anyone who sees. The face that contained a stroke of disappointment to Johan who had brought his daughter away recklessly.

While holding back her grief, Mother Yuri's son Miko had just arrived on the porch of the house. Well, it looks like his son is exhausted. When she arrived home, Miko immediately took a seat on the plastic chair on the terrace.

"How is. Any word from Dinda's sister?" ask Mother Yuri. Like a starving man, he demands an answer from his son.

Miko shook her head. Yuri's mother knew that her son was trying, let alone that sweat had soaked his body. "Not yet Ma'am" he said rather lethargic.

"What do you mean, Miko?" toilet the Mother. "You don't know yet where Dinda's brother was taken?"

"Sister Steve and brother Zico are already looking for him Mom. Miko heard that Dinda's brother was taken to Ethiopia. Just waiting for news from brother Steve and brother Zico is all we can do at this time. The rest, we hope brother Dinda is okay."

Kala heard Miko say that Steve was trying. Another thing that Mother Yuri thought of. "He's back?"

Miko nodded. "Two days ago. May this surprise arrival bring Dinda's sister back."

Steve's. Yuri's mother knew that the boy must be trying to find Dinda. So Mother Yuri's worry slowly decreased, because the man she expected was finally coming.

"But how can Steve come back. For three months..... She's....."

It's not just Ibu Yuri who is curious about the surprise made by Steve. Miko is the same.

"He's not actually going to Germany Ma'am" Miko said. "Sister Steve wasn't actually dying from a gunshot that night. Not knowing how it could happen, Miko alone was confused digesting it."

Other people have their own stories. Honestly, the story of others is much more interesting when in Kulik than the story of yourself.

Um, every lie will be exposed. Anything you cover it up and how strong you are not to spread it. But the result is the same, everything that has been kept secret for thousands of years will also be discovered.

Steve's idea of disappearing is not a lie. But there's a reason he did that. It's just that we don't need to pre-judge other people's lives.

We have a lot of plans. But unfortunately, only God has so many grooves. Whatever plan we want to do, sometimes not according to God's will.

But very much in pity. Steve's plan to disappear during this time should just make him overwhelmed to get back the filler of his heart. For two days he was in Africa, but had not heard anything.

"How is. Did you get any news about the accident?" ask Steve.

Steve and Zico are in a small cafe in downtown Addis Ababa. There, Zico has just arrived who out of nowhere, Steve doesn't know.

"I've checked out the office where his parents opened the business. People in his office said the man had not been to his office at all since yesterday. They didn't even know he was coming to Ethiopia." Zico. While sitting down, this fashionable man folded his sunglasses, then pulled him over on the collar of his shirt neck.

The weather in Ethiopia is hot, it is natural that many people wear sunglasses. Ordinary, so that the eyes are not glare. Especially Steve, he does look suitable with his thin t-shirt.

"If it's true they're in Addis Ababa. We should have gotten some information about him by now. But why is it so hard to find them."

I don't know. Steve was confused. So close Johan hid, so his existence was difficult to know.

"We'll wait for word from my connections Steve, until later in the afternoon. If there is no news, we will return. Because I think maybe he's not going to Ethiopia. Maybe he's somewhere else taking Dinda. "

"No," Steve quickly. "No need to rush back. We have until tomorrow to stay in Addis Ababa. During that time, you have to find their whereabouts."

"But Steve," whined Zico. "What if we don't find him?"

"Then keep looking until you meet. If you haven't met, search, search again, add your connection and try until the bad guys are tired of looking for it."

Finding people in a foreign city like Addis Ababa is very difficult. Especially looking for it quickly. Zico couldn't actually do it, but he didn't dare to refuse his friend's orders.

"After all, I'll try."

Although only a promise that is currently spoken by Zico, Steve did not press it. He only wants results, not words that have no achievements.

Steve left Zico alone in this little cafe. I could no longer stand those useless people in his eyes.

Dinda. I promise you, we'll meet soon. You have to be patient waiting for me. I'll definitely pick you up. And we'll be back as we used to be. Come home with me, we enjoy the twilight on the banks of the Thames. The Huangpu River in Shanghai. And enjoy street food in Korea. Wait for me, Dinda. I must have picked you up.

While walking on the sidewalk of downtown Addis Ababa street, Steve grumbled in his mind. The path of preservation at that time was crowded. Addis Ababa is a rich city in Africa. The sunglasses were not too close enough to cover themselves from the daylight. So Steve added a local country hat on his head.

Steve walked to hotel— which was not far from where he was. It was not thought by Steve before— that everything would be like this.

Dinda. You should have known I was back. You should know that I never forget you. But you are currently missing. Even if to the end of the world I have to find you, then I will follow this path.

In this place, I wish you were really here. We meet at the end of the sunset. I hope time stops, which will eventually bring us together again.

I hope we can be together again. Hopefully, under the clouds of Addis Ababa, we can be found. Trust me, I'm always by your side, until whenever—

Steve was still walking around the park near the heart of the city. From behind his pocket the phone rang. When viewed, the phone screen displays the name of the man the colot.

"Zico. Why is this kid calling?" Steve looked back. The distance between him and the cafe was a bit far several tens of meters. If he was still close to the cafe, Steve thought he wouldn't answer the phone. But—his fingers just said something else.

When answering the phone, Zico's distinctive voice echoed in Steve's speaker device.

"We found him!" steve had no time to answer, Zico first said.
