Who is Myself

Just an escape

"Happy birthday day".I heard a balloon pop and a splash of flour directly into my body when I opened the door.

While carrying a birthday cake that has been filled with candles with the number 22, my friend came to give me a surprise that I really do not remember if today is my birthday.

"Happy birthday Kirani, hopefully this year quickly get a mate yes." said my best friend Kayla. She is a friend at once I consider her my sister because she is the one who has always been there at the ebb and flow of my life since childhood. Kayla's father was my Papa's best friend, but she died five years ago. That's what made me more intimate with Kayla because my father thought of her as a child himself.

Along with my four other friends Rizki, Revan, Nella and Sinta they made a surprise party for me.

"Thank you friend. You all my best friends "we hugged each other and then together cut the cake.

Twenty-two years, well that's my age. Even though I'm an adult, I still look like a high school kid. My small posture and my nature that still likes to whine spoiled make my age does not seem to have gone 22 years.

That was my last moment with my friend, because after this I was moved to work out of town.

The sun shone in the morning as if to take me away from my old place of work. I drove by taking the online taxi I booked. Arriving at my new job, I met someone very handsome.

She smiled sweetly at me as she asked, "You're Kirani? ",A,

I immediately replied,

" It's true I'm Kirani. How do you know my name?", I asked back.

"Did my name Aldo. After this we will often meet to become co-workers. There was a notice that there would be new women coming today. His name is Kirani and I think it must be you", he explained in detail.

" Oh that's it, okay.if you can know I want to ask where the toilet is? ", ask me without a stale base because you can not resist wanting to urinate after almost 3 hours of travel.

" Ok, let me show you" Aldo replied as he directed me towards the toilet.

Inside the toilet I smiled to myself, "Beautiful, friendly and. "I blushed to myself.

"Newly also know, do not know what his true nature is. guys are a lot of crocodiles",

I said myself in my heart because I am among those who have difficulty falling in love because of fear of heartbreak like my best friend Kayla.

 

The following day Kirani and Aldo started working as co-workers. Not infrequently Aldo often glanced at Kirani with a smile and it made Kirani become misbehaved.

When their time off they spend lunch together while being accompanied by a warm chat around themselves. Of course, in order to get to know him more closely.

Aldo who was very attentive to Kirani made the 22-year-old girl melt her heart. Even Aldo was able to make Kirani into a more mature woman figure not whining and whining like before her. Kirani feels like she has a new life.

The phone rang, and Kirani rushed to pick it up, and,

"Haloooo's.. "

" Halooo Kirani.. "

there was a young woman across there.

" Kayla..?? I miss you"

kirani said greeting her best friend.

"I miss you too. It's been quiet since you moved" Kayla said.

" Yes kay, how else will this be the demands of work" replied Kirani who made Kayla amazed.

Kirani's more gentle but firm tone is different from Kirani who previously liked to whine with a spoiled tone.

" You're healthy, aren't you Kirani? " ask Kayla who is still amazed by the changes to Kayla.

"It's healthy, here the place is comfortable and his co-workers are good for everyone" replied Kirani.

" Thank you" Kayla ended the conversation.

A month passed Kirani became more familiar with Aldo, not infrequently they often went out together after work. It made Kirani had felt there was a growing sense in her heart to Aldo. But Kirani still dodged to herself.

Kirani increasingly looks mature in speaking words, attitude and way of thinking was very different from the previous.

Now he deserves to be 22, not 17. Of course it was all thanks to his introduction to Aldo.

Although every day often spend time together, but Aldo has never offered to play or just tell where Aldo lives. And that made Kirani curious.

"You're a real person here or a newcomer like me? " ask Kirani who is unable to hide her curiosity.

"Yes I'm a real person here" Aldo replied briefly and it made Kirani want to continue her question.

"Where does your house go ? deket same place of work? " Aldo just smiled and it made Kirani not feel relieved by her unanswered question. But Kirani could not force Aldo to answer.

"Bodo very much, anyway I women why I nanya nanya his house of men. later on in if women what am I? " his words in his heart to be able to control his curiosity.

Three months have passed. One morning Aldo was not at his workplace.

"Maybe he's sick or needs something? ", kirani tries to guess things and speaks to herself.

Until the end of the next day he met the same thing, Aldo's workplace was still empty. It makes Kirani try to contact Aldo but Aldo can not be contacted. Cellphone's dead. Until finally the next day Aldo appeared and greeted Kirani again as usual.

"Because of you why don't you go to work?", asked Kirani who was unceremoniously stale.

"You are sick?", Aldo has not had time to answer Kirani has asked her new questions.

"I'm not sick" Aldo replied.

" Why don't you go to work for two days?", Kirani still seemed very curious.

"There's a family need" Aldo replied, prompting Kirani to stop her questioning.

"Family? , is Aldo married? " Keel asked himself.

Aldo is not a seductive figure, in fact he is a quiet figure. But it is precisely his quiet and wiser attitude that makes Kirani interested, even able to change Kirani's personality. Because all this time, Kirani knew most men like to fight and seduce a lot. Different from Aldo.

Kriiiiing.

"Halooo.. well well I'll be there soon", Aldo hung up his phone and rushed out of his workplace to ask for permission to go home early.

" What's Al, is everything okay? ", ask Kirani.

Aldo simply replied, "Yes I have to go home soon".

The next day as usual Kirani comes early to her workplace, she sees Aldo's place still empty.

" Did Aldo not go to work today, what happened to his yesterday? " questioningly in Kirani's mind.

Then came the sound of footsteps and it turned out to be Aldo. He looked very tired and uninspired. Even Aldo did not have time to greet Kirani, his eyes seemed to dissolve in a hollow daydream.

"You okay? Are you sick?", Kirani tried to start a conversation.

Aldo shook his head without saying a word. Kirani can understand Aldo's bad mood. He quickly left himself at work without asking too many questions. This time maybe Aldo is not talking to anyone.

When Aldo's break time still looked pensive, Kirani tried to approach and invite him to lunch as usual. But what happened was that Aldo clasped Kirani's hand tightly and said,

" Can I ask for your help?"

Kirani quickly nodded her head and said,

" Tell me what can I do for you? "

Aldo fell silent, he was confused as to where to begin his explanation. Then Kirani stroked Aldo's back hand while saying,

" I'm ready whenever you need me, now let's eat first. You'll be sick".

" It's good", Aldo went from his workplace without taking his hand to Kirani. Before they step they can look at each other. It was as if the seeds of taste that had grown in Kirani's heart suddenly splashed with rain that made her shady and growing in their eyes.

Thirty minutes they ate lunch Aldo was still unable to open his mouth, until finally when they were about to return to work after resting Aldo said to Kirani,

" Later home from work come with me. I have something to show you".

Kirani immediately nodded her head and they returned to their respective workplaces.

After work, Kirani is taken by Aldo to a place that Kirani has never been to. Looking a simple house and there is a garden in front of him, Aldo quickly opened the iron fence half body in front of the house as if Aldo was used to entering the area of the house.

Kirani did not ask much, just following where Aldo walked. Aldo knocked on the door and saw the middle-aged woman open the door, but she left as soon as Aldo came in.

"Maybe it's the housekeeper in this house" Kirani tried to guess inwardly.

"This is my home", Aldo said, Kirani asked immediately,

" Your house? "

Aldo replied "Yes, come in. Sit down and let me make you a drink".

Kirani obeyed Aldo's words towards the chair in the living room. While waiting for Aldo to make a drink Kirani's eyes saw every corner of the room in the house, his simple house not much furniture even no photo stuck on the wall. It can be said that the house is very empty but the building is spacious though simple.

Aldo came with a drink.

"Drink it",

aldo said as he offered Kirani a cup of tea.

" Thank you, you live alone in this house? ", kirani tried asking.

Aldo just shook his head while saying,

" That's what I want to show you".

After one sipping tea made by Aldo, Aldo took Kirani to a room that looks like a room. At first Kirani had negative thinking, because Aldo took her to a room.

Kirani doesn't ask much and just complies. Because indeed the seed of love was really growing in his heart for Aldo, that makes him just according to what the man said.

After the door opened Aldo stepped slowly into the room with Kirani following behind.

In the corner of the room, a woman sits on a chair holding a pillow and a blank look looks out the window.

Kirani began to ask in her heart "Who is that woman? ".

After Aldo showed the woman to Kirani, Aldo took Kirani out of the room. And the woman did not even look at the two of them even though she heard someone enter the room.

Aldo took Kirani back to the living room. While Kirani is still confused as to what this all means.

" He's my wife", a short sentence from Aldo's lips opened Kirani's eyes wide.

" Your wife..?? Then why are you taking me to your house..? ",A,

Kirani really did not expect. In his heart was really disappointed but he also did not deserve to feel disappointed because indeed all this time Aldo never seduced or even expressed his love for Kirani. Salah Kirani himself who had already harbored the feeling.

Aldo started telling stories, about a year ago his wife was 7 months pregnant. The whole family is very happy waiting for the first son and first grandson because Aldo is the only child of the conglomerate family.

But one day when Aldo was working out of town, Aldo's wife was afraid to buy mangosteen fruit. So Aldo sent an ART to buy him, but Aldo's wife wanted to buy it herself.

Until the end, Aldo's wife and an ART went to the mangosteen fruit seller. And while on the way there was an accident that made Aldo's wife miscarry.

Even the womb of Aldo's wife must be lifted for medical reasons that could threaten the life of Aldo's wife. It left the whole family in shock. Especially Aldo's wife.

A few months later Aldo's parents asked Aldo to remarry to get offspring because it was only Aldo's sole heir. Hearing the decision Aldo's wife was really shaken his soul and until now has passed one year ago Aldo's wife is still experiencing mental disorders.

Aldo had no intention of getting married again. He still believes his wife is cured and will later carry out the pregnancy program in any way as long as they can have offspring again.

But alas, all Aldo's wishes have never been conveyed to his wife because his mental disorder has been deep.

Aldo's parents banish Aldo from their home and company if he survives a woman who is thought to have gone mad. Aldo prefers to go and take his wife with him.

With the savings capital in his account and selling the car he owned, Aldo bought a simple house that he is currently occupying. But a year has passed his wife did not improve. Even yesterday had dropped and raged crying hysterically looking for his son, that's why a few days ago Aldo often left his job.

Kirani was only silent to hear all the stories of Aldo, in his heart was disappointed because Aldo was married but Kirani also salute to see a loyal man like Aldo. Kirani feels like just an escape for Aldo.

"What if this feeling I can't erase from my heart? " Kirani pensive.

seriate....
