Doctor Ella Love Story
182. C2 - Escapes

Now I'm here lying down

Looking up to the unknown

Just want to be alone

(*Now I'm here lying down

Searching for the unknown

Just want to be alone)

Thinking of you. Thinking of me. Thinking of us

(*Thinking. Thought me. Thinking of us).

Now You're gone

All the dreams are gone

And my feels are gone

(*Now you are missing

All dreams have disappeared

And my feelings disappeared too

So in the morning, Roni out of his inn room to just go for a walk to wash his eyes while looking for breakfast. Want to eat the famous roadside snack in this area. On the streets of Malioboro which is a typical street that must be visited if to this city. Gudek mbok Atul's.

Roni's mind was so full over the past few days, sadly claustrophobic, frustrated into one. Because what try? Because of the breakdown of her love relationship with Ella a few days ago. Heartbroken. It sounds too dramatic, childish, and unrealistic. That he who is a grown man can be so fucked up like this.

But it was precisely because he was a man, a man who could not cry sobbing and roaring like a woman to vent all his emotions. A woman will feel relief after crying. While a man can only be silent and play with his own butek mind. It can be stressful and even crazy for a long time if it continues.

Roni even becomes difficult to just think and concentrate on work and daily life. It could be a real danger if he was misdiagnosed and even wrong therapy for his patients. Even more serious in case you get hit by the practice mall everything.

That's why Roni decided to take a break and take a few days off from his activities as a doctor.

Roni wants to run away from all his complicated thoughts and find peace for a moment. Go all the way from Surabaya. Go from all the memories and everything in the city that can remind Ella. Escape, Escapes.

Once aware Roni has driven his car into the toll to Jogja. I don't know why the city was the first to cross his head. So what happened to that city? Why should I do it?

Is it because Sari's there? Is it because Roni wants to meet that girl? To share a story with him? To simply pour out all his sorrow and grief. It seemed like only Sari could understand what she was feeling. It seems like only Sari is the place to complain and seek inner calm.

"You want a side dish what mas?" Mbok a muddy seller asked Roni when his queue turn arrived. Disperse all the reverie in Roni's head.

"Chicken bacem, wrap two mbok." Roni voiced her order without a second thought. And soon the mbok seller gudek gave two packs of his order. Roni paid for it, then went back to his inn.

On his way Roni thought. Why buy two packs? Make what try? Who wants to eat? I had thought of Sari si, so automatically pesen two servings... What is Sari? Had breakfast or had he not been around? Who knows if he hasn't had breakfast.

Finally Roni decided to visit Sari's room which was staying at the same inn as her. More precisely Roni who deliberately stayed at the same place with Sari. Same place since Roni drove him a few days ago to Jogja.

I don't know why Sari prefers to stay at sedehana inns. Lodges with joglo and Javanese shades are thick in natural elements rather than in a luxury star hotel. More beautiful, cool, cool and calm he said.

The nuances that only exist in Jogja, let's not be in vain already far into this city. Though with all the status and money he has Sari can stay in a five-star hotel even for whatever he wants.

Roni approached Sari's room and knocked on her door. Shortly afterwards Sari appears to open the door for Roni with a look of waking up to her sleep.

"Roni?..." Sari asked very surprised to see Roni in front of her bedroom door this early.

"Hehe met morning Sar," Roni greeted while holding her laugh looking at Sari's appearance with her hair still disheveled. A rarely seen sight for a girl who pays close attention to Sari's appearance. Quite different from Ella who is more indifferent to her appearance.

"Well, am I ugly?" Sari noticed Roni's expression when she saw his face.

"Get in first, I'm gonna take a bath." Sari lets Roni into her room while she picks up a towel and runs to the bathroom.

Roni put his packet of mute rice on the table then went out again to the innkeeper's canteen to buy two glasses of warm tea. Then Roni took her back to Sari's room. It turned out that the girl had already finished her bath and tidied up her appearance. It was fresh and beautiful like the usual Sari.

Even somehow Roni felt Sari was more beautiful with her casual appearance this time. Plain face without makeup, long hair tied high on the head. T-shirts and shorts above the knee. Simple and sweet, to make Roni swallow for a moment to see it.

"What are you carrying?" Sari is curious about Roni's plastic bag on her desk.

"Nasi gudek, breakfast yuk. There's hot tea." Roni thrust out two glasses of warm tea he brought onto the table.

"Well, this is a laper, thank you." Sari washed her hands at the wastafle before taking a seat and opening her packet of mute rice. Roni did the same thing, then sat face to face with Sari to enjoy her mute rice.

"Why? Not good, huh?" roni asked looking at Sari's slightly strange reaction. It does not match the tongue of this food.

"Snake it, but it tastes so sweet. So that's kind of an eneg, huh?" Sari tries to explain the taste of the food she eats.

"Hahahaha is the cuisine of the Jogja and the sweet Kulonan people. You usually eat Eastern dishes that tend to be salty and spicy. It must be a little weird."

"Are you a lame man? East too, right?"

"My real mother is Klaten. So I'm not surprised by the sweet cuisine of kulonan."

"Jun how are you?" Roni started the conversation after finishing her breakfast, drinking her warm tea, and washing her hands.

"Udah stable. I was able to go home yesterday." Sari replied in a sad tone.

"Thank God..." Roni responded, a little relieved as well. The last time he left last Saturday, Jun's condition was dropping. That's why Sari insisted on staying in Jogja and waiting for Jun. So Roni was forced to leave Sari and return to Surabaya alone.

"When did you come? How early in the morning is it here?" Sari turned the conversation to Roni. Why are people trying to come here again? Is not there still a lot of business and work in Surabaya? But on the other hand Sari was also happy for Roni to come. I don't know why it feels so much calmer if there's Roni.

"Midnight yesterday. I don't know why I suddenly wanted to drive here. I want you to be the most hehe."

"The rubber's out!" Sari laughed in response to Roni's joke. This is what he likes from Roni, always able to joke and melt the atmosphere.

"What's wrong with you, Ron?" Sari added a question. There must be something wrong with this man too, Sari can feel a real unease from Roni's gelagat.

"I've broken up with Ella..."

"Haah? Seriously?" Sari was really shocked to hear that. Sari knows very well how the love story of Roni since the time they interenship together. How the man's efforts in pursuing Ella. After a long time and struggle, they finally became too. But now they have to separate again.

"Yes, I killed him. I also returned him to the side of Ardi Pradana." Roni answered.

Sari was agape at hearing it. Didn't expect Roni to have that sling's heart. But Sari also can not imagine how broken the heart of Roni when it had to do all that. It must have been sick and broken, crumbling dimly with all Roni's feelings.

"You're doing great. I'm very proud of you." Sari smiled widely as a tribute to Roni's attitude which he thought was extraordinary.

(*You've done a great thing. I'm so proud of you).

"Thank you, yeah..."

"Keep you're here as a celebration of a broken heart?" Sari teases Roni a little. Do not want to ask the details and chronology of events how their relationship broke up. Didn't want to reopen the wound in Roni's heart that might have begun to heal.

"Hahaha you know."

"Today I want to nengokin Jun to his house. Abis we take a walk. Let me go where it is." Sari volunteered to accompany and comfort Roni. Replace, a few days ago Roni was always there and accompanied himself in the worst moments of his life. Now was a good time for Sari to return the favor to Roni.

"I want to go to Prambanan Temple, same Breksi cliff." Roni set their goals.

"That's a big intention, is it googling?"

"Yes donk. His intention was to travel hehe."

"Can deh. Continue the streets in Malioboro yes. I want to find antiques." Sari added their list of goals.

"Any culinary dinner in Malioboro."

""Wedang rounds!"" They cried almost simultaneously.

Then the two laughed merrily together realizing their same wish.

"It's only in Jogja si, there won't be anywhere else the drink." Sari commented.

"Who said? You're playing less hehehe. Try to go to the mountains in eastern Java. Many also sell wedang round or wedang uwuh." Roni protesting.

"Eh seriously? Actually exist? Which area?" Sari seemed curious. Well than all the way to Jogja if you want to drink a round wedang.

"Yes. The most decet if from Surabaya si to Pacet or Tretes area, Trawas. Can all eat grilled corn with rabbit satay there."

"Waaaaah is also like that." Sari's eyes seemed to sparkle imagining it.

"I'll be sure you go there sometime." Roni smiled promisingly at Sari who looked enthusiastic and curious.

"Geek-asik. Promise you yes!" Sari jubilant.

"Yes promise. But if we're in Surabaya."

"It certainly is..."

"When do you want to go home? How long are you here?" Roni asked carefully.

"I want to stay here until Jun gets well..."

"Sar, you also have a life of your own. You can't stay here all the time. Mas Mahes and the rest of your family can be worried if you know you're like this." Roni tries to convince Sari to go home.

"But I want to get him..."

"You should know when to give up too, Sar. Just like I let Ella go, now it's time for you to let Jun go. Isn't that what Jun wanted?"

"I can't, Ron. I can't be that bad..."

"Sar, please release him. This is best for you, for Jun, for both of you." Roni gave her advice while tightly grasping Sari's fingers on the table. Want to give strength and encouragement so that the girl can make decisions and continue to move on the path of life.

Sari could not answer. Can only be silent thinking about Roni's words. I believe the truth of the man's words. Maybe Roni was right, it was time for her to rise as well. Live his life as it should be. It's not that the hanging is not clear in the city of kayaks like this. Sari still had a myriad of jobs and responsibilities waiting for her.
