Misses do not just appear because of the distance apart.
But also because of an unrealized desire.
You will never be far away from me.
Wherever I go, you are always there.
Because you are always in my heart,
It is only our body but not our heart.
_Tyas Effendi
_______________________________________
A man in his neat and cool black suit is like a director of a big company. That posture, that handsome face, that body stripe, that peragai, is exactly the same as what Ella had in her memory. It's carved very deep there. Not wrong, that man is...Pradana Lazuardi, Ardi.
For a few seconds Ella could feel her heart stop beating. Even he had forgotten to breathe for a while to see the figure of the man in front of him. Furthermore, even worse, his heart seemed to jump with excitement and beat very fast, dag dig dug, dag dig dug...
Missing.maybe the taste is called longing. A feeling that fills the soul because it cannot meet. Even for all the full moon does not meet each other, three years. This feeling is so unique, not sad but also not suffering but that certainly feels torturing to the soul.
Slowly but surely there is a very pleasant taste of the stomach continuing to the chest. It was as if it were growing, blooming, expanding and blossoming like a flower inside Ella's chest.
And that pleasant feeling seemed to instantly dispel the deep longing that had long been buried in the chest. The longing that immediately felt healed by the presence of the figure of the man before him. Pradana Lazuardi.
Ella's eyes seemed fixated, unable to move from looking at Ardi's face. It is like admiring the perfect masterpiece of God. The leaflets in the chest settled unwilling to leave, and skipped a beat uncompromisingly.
Ardi's face hasn't changed much since the last time they met three years ago. Staying handsome of course, it was just that Ella felt the man's gaze look different, much more serious, sharp, cold, and piercing than the previous one Ella remembered. There was no more warmth, hospitality and joy.
Ardi's carrying also looks much calmer, mature, mature and authoritative than Ella recalled three years ago.
The figure of a young executive, the CEO, the supreme leader of a group of giant companies. Founder of a business park. A figure that looks very tough, sturdy and unwavering. Maybe it was the experiences and struggles of life during these three years that made it that way.
"What the fuck is this Nggar? I saw your car was okay in the parking lot? What's the collision huh?" Ardi asked Linggar. With a very angry and irritated tone. Feeling cheated and lied to by Linggar, his sister.
"Shhhhttt..." The crowbar gestured the index finger in front of the mouth at Ardi to stop his protests further. Linggar also moved his head slightly towards Ella sitting down to tell Ardi what she needed to see in the room.
"He was the victim I hit in the Rectorate. He's the one who's going to ask Ardi for compensation...Ella's mother." Linggar introduced his guests very dramatically. Ardi is clearly familiar. He knows her well even...
Ardi reflex turned his face in the direction indicated by Linggar. A girl could be seen sitting on one of the chairs in the middle of the room.
Instantly Ardi's eyes widened and widened to see the figure before him. Ardi blinked his eyes several times, convincing himself that this was not a dream. That this girl before him was not a mere shadow and illusion. That the girl in front of him is real, really Ella, the girl who is always present in her dreams every day.
It felt like Ardi couldn't react to seeing Ella as real and being this close to her. Ardi's heart seemed to jump out of his nest so amazed and happy to see a beautiful figure in front of him. Furthermore, even his heart felt timid and racing with a strong rhythm, fast and irregular.
Ardi looked at the pretty face of the girl before him. Ella's face now looks more intelligent and mature. The simple makeup she wears is more colorful than the effortless makeup that used to always adorn her face. Make the girl look more beautiful, fresh, mature, charming and able to make every eye never get bored to look at her.
There was only one thing that Ardi was less fond of than Ella's current appearance. Her long hair that used to be very beautiful decomposed has now been replaced with short hair with a curly impression. Ella remains beautiful of course with this new appearance, but Ardi prefers the old Ella hair.
Long hair that he used to always gently buy, which he used to play around when joking and making out, as well as hair that he likes to smell...
'Aaaahhh why those wonderful memories suddenly appeared and flashed in my brain.'
The two humans were still looking at each other for quite a long time. Silence is like a statue. Admiring each other's presence. Grateful for the turn of time that finally made the path they took back intersecting. Enjoy the thrills and fun that is in the chest.
A farewell may indeed be made to make the reunion feel very beautiful.
It only takes a few seconds for Ella and Ardi to fall in love again with each other. All the feelings that had long been buried in the chest seemed to spring back as soon as they met. Longing because long time no see was treated already.
In the first second, they observed each other's overall silhouette. Second second, staring at each other and clashing eyes. The third second, could be seen from the happy expressions on their faces. The fourth second, visible from his smile, as well as the shape of his lips. The fifth second, visible from his style of moving. The sixth second of the vibration that hit the stomach then their chest. Last second seventh, most importantly, eye contact, as if believing that this meeting is inevitable and indeed planned by Destiny.
Linggar knows himself enough and understands the situation that occurs. The meeting of two hearts who still love each other, but forced to separate and can not have each other. Even the spin of the wheel of time was unable to defeat and eliminate the love of the two of them that had been carved in each other's hearts.
When the two people in front of him face each other and look at each other. While the two seemed to be pecking, arranging the heart, in the overflow of feelings on their chests. Linggar withdrew without a word, leaving the room, not wanting to disturb the two of them. Just let the two of them finish all the unfinished business between them.
"Mas Ardi?..." Ella, the first one, can master herself and come to her senses from daydreaming, saying hello first.
"Ella?..." Ardi also realized from his delusion and beautiful daydreams.
Oh so this is what Linggar wants? He deliberately lied to manage all this? To meet her with Ella? You little boy, there's just been it. But inevitably Ardi must thank for what Linggar did. Good job bro!
"Sit, mas..." Ella invited Ardi who was daritadi still standing near the door of the room, it was amazingly awkward.
Let them both sit facing each other. Returning silent, no one could afford to just speak. He could only look at each other and play with his own thoughts.
Togetherness will be more meaningful after we feel the loss.
Losing will be more meaningful when we miss each other.
"How are you, mas?" Ella again relented to start their conversation.
Somehow Ella felt that the Ardi before her was now very different from the Ardi she used to know. Like everyone else it feels, it's just in Ardi's body casing.
Ardi who now seems cold, arrogant and arrogant, and not friendly. It spread an extremely intimidating aura and made it vibrate anyone who dared to challenge it. He seemed to be very distant and set his attitude.
The nature is indeed reasonable revealed by someone with the caliber of CEO of a large company. Ella was increasingly aware that this man was on a much different level to her. Lazuardi Pradana the sultan of a giant business empire, too tall and unattainable by commoners like himself.
"Well.." answered Ardi briefly. "How are you?"
"Either..." Ella answered briefly. Still too awkward and confused how to behave in front of Ardi.
Didn't he decide not to hope for this man anymore? Wasn't he determined to let this man go? Why is he still confused in his attitude?...
'I should have behaved naturally to him like a client or a patient'.
Silence again, no one spoke for a moment. Only the music of the songs of Bruno Mars that sound melodious throughout the room, When I was your man.
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
(*Same bed but now feels a little bigger
Our song is playing on the radio but the sound is not the same
When our friends talk about you,
all I feel is my heart being hurt
Because my heart broke a little when I heard your name)
Lousy. It's true that there are different tastes on things that should be the same. As Bruno Mars said, a bed that should be the size of a fixed even feels bigger. The same song on the radio sounds different...That's how Ella and Ardi feel right now. The taste is still there, clearly felt in the chest and they understand very well the name of the taste, love.
But still something feels different. I don't know why the two of them are so hard to just talk and share stories. Especially to express love. This awkward feeling is so excruciating, like ice that is very cold and creates frost. Maybe only time and a little warmth can melt it.
"You're getting pretty..." I don't know why those words just slid from Ardi's mouth. The most honest expression of his heart from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you," without Ella preventing her face from warming up and may have been flushed from Ardi's praise. What the fuck? Why can't I refrain from being happy just because of this compliment? Why can't you be reasonable?
"Where's your college?" Ardi tried to make small talk, looking for the safest topic to discuss.
"Currently, it'll be over soon" Ella replied
"Oh.. gratz yes.." again a short and flat response.
"Where's the company?" Ella was confused as well looking for a safe topic of discussion.
"It's getting larger." Ardi was confused to have to explain about his company. It is clear that they will also be at length, impossible to explain when their relationship is still this ugly.
"Your hair..." Ardi couldn't help but ask about Ella's hair. Want to protest the taste, why should it be cut so short?
"It's so bright in Surabaya" Ella answered. Actually the main reason Ella cut her hair is because she wants to move on, wants to be her new self. To be able to forget the sadness of the past and be able to continue to live and live the future better.
"Suitable for you," praised Ardi forced to lie to his own heart. It's impossible to protest, right? No longer entitled to protest exactly. Ella just smiled sweetly in response to Ardi's praise.
The two went back silent without a word. There is no desire to keep talking. They were more interested in continuing to look at the figure before each of them. Treating the blue-inducing longing in their hearts.
