Jimmy knocked on the director's door.
" mister may I come in" Jimmy's voice came from behind the door.
" get in jim" Raka smokes his cigarette back.
Jimmy opened the door, and jimmy was shocked to see the scene before him.
" sir since when do you smoke?" ask jimmy with a face full of curiosity .Raka again smoked the cigarette, and threw out the smoke in his mouth.
" next you will get the order to buy cigarettes"Raka revealed his forced smile. Raka turned off the nearly exhausted cigarette in her ashtray. Then he sat in his chair
" sir, here's the document you have to sign now" jimmy put a pile of documents on Raka's desk. Raka opens sheet by sheet each of those documents .
" what do you want to have lunch ? should I order it?" ask jimmy in between Raka's bustle.
" i'm just eating out" Raka glanced at the clock in her hand. Time has now shown at 11.
" well sir, excuse me" jimmy stepped his foot, but suddenly Raka called out to him.
" jim,. Rika's on a plane, right?"
" already sir, soon the plane will take off" said jimmy full of confidence
" well" Raka hints at jimmy to get out of his room with a wave of his hand.
Jimmy left the room after getting an order from his superiors. Raka kept the ballpoint pen in her hand. Then open a photo gallery in his hape. Raka opens her photos with megan . Raka's feelings rumbled, yearning for a year, even Raka locked her heart tightly.
For a year Raka is restless, when she first hears megan mysteriously disappearing. And no one knows it, without exception his three companions. His family seems to disappear. There was no information that Raka managed to find.
Now when Raka was in Bandung, it felt different. Hampa, his heart had even frozen when he saw a wedding photo of megan with a man.
In the photo, Megan smiles happily using a white kebaya. Beside him, there was a tall man with a thin stature. His face was quite handsome according to Raka. Her hands were coiled around megan's small waist. Raka was frustrated at imagining the photo in her mind. Who exactly is this guy. Raka never even saw it at all .
Raka slammed the ashtray that was beside her. The ashtray was thrown away towards the window . Cigarette ash on the floor.
" megan what really happened, is really the man you love at this time, why don't you wait for me when you promised" she explained.
I don't feel Raka's tears dripping. His feelings this time could no longer control himself. Raka is still with her daydream, until she is awakened by the sound of vibrations from her cellphone.
" Raka this is me alex, can we meet today" Sounded a tone of voice ketus alex behind the phone.
" what's up?" asked Raka with a surprised face
" about megan, I know you must be confused right now" Alex's heavy breathing sounds .
" all right, this afternoon at 12 o'clock at the Atmosphere restaurant"
bippy
The call was interrupted, Raka already knew Alex's cold character. Raka is getting impatient wanting to know about megan all this time .
Alex is a frontal person . He even understood Raka was being confused this time.
At least Alex understands how megan can disappear without a trace.
Raka picked up the phone handle in her room.
" Dinda to my room for a minute"
" Dinda, please tell ob to clean this room. If jimmy asks me there's business in the next 2 hours, and will go straight to another food court branch in mall fx, and cx" Raka takes a suit then wears it.
"well sir" Dinda walked out of Raka's room.
After preparing, Raka left her office with her own car. Without the driver and jimmy. This time Raka wanted to talk to alex freely. Want to enjoy the streets of Bandung with its solitude.
The streets of Bandung this time are very crowded especially this at lunchtime. Raka saw the motorbike and the car passing by . Raka has long missed this atmosphere after 2 years of studying in Singapore.
Raka parked her car in front of the cafe atmosphere. He'll have lunch here and meet Alex at this cafe. Raka ordered some food and drinks. Raka pulled out her phone and called jimmy.
" jimmy, if there's something urgent in your office take care of it today I'm not going to the office anymore, will check some foodcourt"
" good sir"
Raka decides to call with jimmy. Before long the waiter served the food menu that had been ordered by Raka. At the door, Alex enters and approaches Raka.
Raka stood up and greeted Alex, then allowed Alex to sit down.
" what would alex order?" ask Raka .
" just the same" replied Alex simply.
" waiter please make the menu one more portion"Raka looked at the waiter who was still pecking beside her
" well, any other additions sir?" ask the waiter to be friendly.
" quite mbak"
The waiter left the dining table. Raka starts to open the conversation because Raka knows what type of Alex is, she won't open her voice if Raka doesn't speak first .
" so what do you want to talk about" Raka looked at Alex . Raka does not deny Alex one of the best friends who are always there when I am in trouble. Raka was sure alex would tell her everything this time.
"do you know megan's married?" ask alex in a slightly scrabbling tone.
" i know" Raka answered honestly. At the moment, he doesn't want to remember that.
" I'm also surprised just like you heard this. We never knew the beginning of it all, suddenly megan got sanctioned that she was removed from the music label" Alex stopped his talk.
Raka does not respond to alex's talk he just wants to listen to everything.
" of course we are strongly opposed to it, until at that time our band will disband, but we are already under contract if we disband the compensation we have to pay very much" Alex took his breath back. There was a sense of disappointment enveloping him at this moment.
" Megan is a hard woman. He never wants to trouble us. And with weight we have to let megan leave"
Alex looked at the calm expressionless Raka. The waiter came with alex's order.
" eat lex first" Raka invites alex, after the waiter arranges their table.
Alex and Raka eat the dishes at the table. No more noise from alex, only the sound of forks and plates clashing.
" After I investigated. The label has a photo of megan having sex with a man "Raka chokes at alex
"what!" Raka turned her eyes in disbelief with everything she heard. Raka kept the fork and downed her drink.
" it seems like the label silenced all the information from us, only megan knew. That's the reason labels sanction. Not wanting the photo to spread, the label pressed megan. I know who's behind it all that's threatening our music label" Alex's face was visibly emotional. His disappointment this time had already peaked in the crown.
