...When you're gone - Avril Lavigne...
...When you're gone...
...The pieces of my heart are missin' you...
...When you're gone...
...The face I came to know is missin', too...
...When you're gone...
...The words I need to hear...
...To always get me through the day...
...And make it okay...
...I miss you...
When you left
My whole heart misses you
When you left
The face I was beginning to recognize was gone
When you left
Words I need to hear
To make me able to get through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

Today is my 26th birthday. Birthday celebrations are much different than two years ago.
I celebrated at the Black and White cafe with family, friends and representatives of employees at the Miepa branch, the pentol booth, Frozen food and boutiques. Employees who do not come are ordered the same menu from the cafe because during the patemi, the cafe visitors remain limited so not all can attend.
On the anniversary of social media Orchid also gives a challenge to followers in the form of birthday video. For the most interesting video will win the prize that I have prepared.
The family gathered at one table, I know Dewo lost Bian's figure. Many times he asked us why we were separated. Only she cares because my mom and dad left all the decisions to me.
In the light of my birthday party. Natasha and Gege are with their baby, Natasha is lovingly holding their son.
Next to Natasha was Nadia who was pregnant. She occasionally stroked her stomach and Rian painstakingly took the food that was there for Nadia.
When my netra caught Tania's figure. My forehead shriveled to see Jeno in Tania's lap. What's up with them? Where's Doni? after he gave me a gift and then disappeared.
"Nggrek, Video dong for story," My attention was distracted by a call from Dion.
I waved in the video story on Dion's account but for the next I grumbled in annoyance. Dion closed me up by showing her face as big as a screen. He is narcissistic even on my birthday still he must be dominant in the story.
I approached Nadia and Natasha. Cuddle the cute Natasha baby with round cheeks red like tomatoes.
"Dion here, Please take our picture!"
"That's who?" Nadia asked because she had never met Dion.
"Friends,"
"What a handsome guy, your boyfriend?" I saw Natasha elbowing Nadia's arm. Ever since I broke up with Bian, Natasha repeatedly expressed a bad feeling. He did encourage me to accept Bian back then.
"No, Shrimp yuk. Cheer!"
A photo with a bright smile in it, As if all was well. I posted on social media the joy of my 26th birthday.
I used to think a breakup a second time would make me not get up again turned out I was wrong.
The sun rises from the east and sets in the west. What happens in my life will not delay the world.
No matter what happens to your heart, life keeps on rolling. Lamenting fate only leaves behind. I just need to step up or force myself to keep going.
***********
The first day at the age of 26, I was in a boutique with Tania. When the shoulder-haired girl diverted her busy life from checking orders online and came up to me.
"Anggrek, yesterday at your birthday there was a very nervous little boy. He came up to me asking for a cake,"
"Oh yeah," I frowned because Jeno had done the same to me before but I refrained from commenting much. As if not seeing Tania holding Jeno yesterday.
"It turns out his father was handsome, tall and athletic. So I got the info from your frozen food employee, Si Mila, that her Papa Jeno is widower? Cool widower,"
"Yes right she's a widower and Jeno is taken care of by her papa. Mama Jeno is remarried, now her mother is in Bandung,"
"Your ex's bang, Nggrek,"
"She's come near me but that's just nothing more,"
"It's a pity that you don't want to even look good. Your frozen food clerk said, He's kind and polite. Now his chicken farming business is getting bigger and Doni is becoming a supplier of almost all restaurants, markets, supermarkets."
"Why do you like it?"
"Ah not only nanya," Tania's face reddened. It made me feel uncomfortable, but I rejected Doni anyway.
Now I'm not sure how Doni feels even though Doni's mom greeted me yesterday through mom.
"Ready Orchid,"

I went to Miepa and met Cleo, the shopkeeper. She was sweet and slender black, shiny black shoulder-length, Gesture her body was graceful and attractive.
"Hi, Orchid I'm sorry I didn't get to your show yesterday but I already bought something for you. I hope you like it,"
"Ah trouble, Cleo thank you very much huh,"
"Yes, just relax. I'll go first." He patted my arm and passed.
After a shitty affair with Miss Lisa, I finally met a good shopkeeper. Cleo helped grow my business. Teaches about partnerships, He's never stingy about sharing knowledge.
Indeed not having a relationship with Bian anymore my efforts went smoothly. The shophouse that Setya bought from Lisa's mother was not used. The plankton never came back to take my employees.
Trrtt.
The call from Kira broke my thoughts about Setya.
"Hello brother Orchid,"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Sister Orchid I'm checking an interesting video challenge,"
"Yes I've seen, I don't think the enthusiasm that goes with all the exclamation,"
"Sister but there is one that makes Kira very interested because the video is different until Kira can not wait to meet with Orchid to show it,"
"What is a video about?"
"He doesn't make funny videos but like time travel videos or memories like that,"
"Time travel?"
"Hmmmm early I was intrigued because it started by displaying a watch that Orchids often use,"
"Well!"
"Yes but now the watch is never used again,"
"Please send me the video right now, Kira"
"Good, Brother"
Whether the watch is the same coincidence but other than the watch is limited edition, the meaning of the watch is only me and Bian who know.
I play impatiently the video Kira sent. Backsound When you're gone by Avril Lavigne accompanied the video I was playing.
A video that starts with a watch I once had Bian handing over someone's palm. Next he used the watch on his wrist that had been attached the same watch. I know it's my watch and another one has Bian.
Continued collage of photos of all the places we have been, a pink orchid flower and closed photo of a pair of hands with the same watch on the dashboard of the car. The photo I took the day we decided to be lovers.
Just a person's wrist but it all shows who sent the video. He sent me a happy birthday video and it turned out that he was my watch buyer, Bian Prasetya.
My breath was held back he was an auction winner when I sold him on a preloved buying and selling app. Terms of e-commerce where goods must be delivered to them for verification, make me not pay attention to the address of the auction winner.
It turned out that Bian was using another name back then. My Netra stared at the line of letters in the video, causing a shock in the heart.
...Happy birthday to the watch owner...
...I'll keep it now...
...One day I will return it...
...to the original owner...
the sound of Avril Lavigne is beautiful.
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
We were created to complement each other
Here forever
I know it is
And all I want is for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I'm having a hard time breathing, I need you here with me
