Call Me Rain
Searching for his Traces

Mirza had to get back to disappointment when Teh Yuyun again said,

"They have never been here again" said Teh Yuyun when Mirza visited Bandung.

"Teteh also did not know if they would move anywhere." continued Teh Yuyun with a regretful face because he could not provide any information to Mirza.

"If they come home, please tell me Tea." he asked expectantly. Tea Yuyun simply replied to him with a nod.

Even Yuyun Tea never knew, Alula and Pa Abhi went where, only they promised every month they would send some money in return for the services of taking care of his house.

Mirza had come many times to find Alula, and many times she had to go home with a hollow heart.

Not only round-trip to Bandung, Mirza has also tried to find the name Alula on every campus in Bandung. But of the many campuses, he still did not find the name Alula listed anywhere.

No one knows where they are going, not even Marsha, who is closest to Alula.

"I'm honest" Marsha said when Mirza again asked Alula for whereabouts. They are now in a cafe, Marko who asked Marsha to come there.

"I really don't know bang, he just said he wanted to move to Bandung. didn't say he wanted to go again."

"The number can not be reached, Abhi's father's number is also the same." he continued with a shrunken forehead staring at the cellphone screen that displays the name of Alula's contact there.

"Abang dong where the Lala went, he went also because of the Emir bang." salak Marsha on Mirza, with an upset heart, because he knew Alula was leaving because he wanted to forget his feelings for Mirza.

"Heh lu, politely bit the same old one." protested Marko who at that time accompanied Mirza looking for traces of Alula.

Marsha just sneered, not responding to Marko's babbling.

"What do you mean, he's gone because of me ?" but Mirza is more interested in asking things that make it a little disturbed.

"Don't think for yourself" Marsha said in an annoyed tone. "That's not knowing" he added, glancing cynically at Mirza sitting in front of him.

"Heh beo, speaking of the truth!" marko cried out with fire.

"Udah ah, I'm talking to you guys. Brother look for Alula to see you." he said as he moved from the chair, because the glass in front of him was not filled.

"Woy, your drink has not been paid parrot." cried Marko when Marsha was near the exit.

Marsha turned her body, she,

"You guys make sure I get out. My drink, you pay!" marsha said without shame.

"Yes, another one, if you've met, don't forget to tell." Marsha walked back to the door.

"Based on a crazy girl." said Marko after Marsha completely disappeared behind the door. Mirza just shook her head.

After Marsha's death, both Mirza and Marko were silent to each other. Marko knew the man sitting next to him was worried.

"You know, why did someone decide to leave ?" marko's voice made Mirza turn.

"There are two things, first he really hates you. secondly he really loves you."

"Lu just choose which perception you think is the reason for Alula to go."

Mirza was silent, she stirred the ice cappucino in front of her with eyes that looked bright.

"According to you ?" ask Mirza to Marko.

"Gosh ..." sighed Marko in disbelief, "Lu realized no, if all this time Alula was like you ?"

Mirza fell silent again, her memory returning at night when she took Alula to the restaurant after they attended the graduation ceremony.

Mirza looked at Alula's teary eyes as she asked Alula to stay beside her, could it be a look of like?

Or when he hugged Alula all of a sudden. Alula did not refuse, even washed away in her arms.but, why did Alula cry at that time ? maybe there was something he was trying to hide.

Then, the papers that Mirza found in the trash bin in the pavilion, why were so many pictures of her face there.

"Did she really like me ?" mirza, he stared at the glass filled with ice cappucino that had dewy.

"That's what Alula feels right now" he continued.

"But, why did he have to go ko ?"

"Everyone has their own way of healing his pain, maybe that's why the fairy neng left."

"But it's not fair to me. Does he not think about my feelings ?" just this time Marko saw the fragile side of the man who had always looked cold in the eyes of others.

True, losing can make a person change from his habits.

"There's Gweny." Marko reminded, however, that Mirza's current status is engaged to Gweny.

"Didn't you think of her feelings too ?"

Mirza let out a long sigh, she was really in a dilemma. was among the choices that put her in a difficult situation.

"It really supports me the same Alula what is the same as Gweny anyway ?" Mirza is upset, Marko can discuss Gweny when his mind is filled by Alula.

"As your best friend, I choose the best for you" Marko said sincerely.he could not force Mirza to forget her feelings for Alula, nor could I force Mirza to start loving Gweny.

"Help me find him ko. at least I know where he is and in good condition." Mirza.said the desperate tone that Marko caught from his voice.

And Marko actually accompanied Mirza wherever she went. As of now, they were visiting a public funeral park that they had once visited while on vacation with other children.

Yes, the only place that Alula might come to is a place where her mother and twin sister rest in peace.

Mirza and Marko tread the path where left and right there are rows of rectangular mounds of earth with green color around it, as well as tombstones engraved with the names of the owners of the mound.

His steps stopped when he reached his destination.he was surprised to find the wet ground like it had just been watered with water, he was surprised, also fresh flowers are scattered above the navel that reads the name of Indira Pratiwi and Dwi Rania Sofyan.

"Ko," Mirza turned to Marko, his gaze as if asking 'is what he saw'.

"That means he's here?" mirza said expectantly.

Mirza swept through the entire cemetery, deserted, there was no one there, other than a tomb guard who was pulling weeds not far from where he stood.

"Sir." call Marko to a thin man who is a tomb guard.

"Was anyone on a pilgrimage there?" point it at the grave ground filled with fresh flower petals.

The grave guards' foreheads frowned, seemingly thinking,

"Oh yes, there were two girls just as father" explained the tomb keeper.

"Where are they now ?" urged Mirza, he was sure if the one who came was Alula and Pa Abhi.

"Have gone from earlier den, don't see also where it went."

Mirza rushes out of the cemetery, from the grave ground she sees is still wet, she is sure if Alula has not gone too far. He ran down the road that would have been passed by those who came home from the funeral, but he could not find Alula anywhere.

"Where did you meet ?" marko asked with a gasp of breath as he went to find where Alula had gone.

Mirza shook her head, she resigned.

Again, Mirza again lost the figure that for years he kept in his heart. After feeling the beauty of love, now his heart again hurt.

Why when he began to realize the presence of love, he just had to return to lose it. Perhaps fate did not allow him to unite and reunite with the toothless girl.
