“Cupit, watch The Nun, yuk.” Alzio had just finished taking a bath, climbed upstairs and went into Agatha's room to take her to watch. He brought his laptop and also some snacks he bought when he came home from outside.
Alzio circled his gaze around the corner of Agatha's room. No sign of life. “Loh, how quiet, anyway?” Once again he looked around and still did not find Agatha's whereabouts. He searched from right to left corner, neither did he find Agatha lying in a corner or crawling on a wall. It was also impossible for him to creep on the ceiling of his room. He opened the window curtain, and Agatha did not find him hiding behind it.
“Cupit, where are you? Don't fuck me, deh. Not funny, you know! This is not a hide-and-seek!” game He monologues himself while continuing to search for the whereabouts of his cousin. “What do not-do is in the bathroom, yes?” After checking, it turned out to be nil. The bathroom shows Agatha not in use.
“Where, anyway?” Alzio scratched his head which started to itch because it started to panic. At first glance he sniffed and peeked at the makeup table Agatha, it turns out the contents on the dressing table have been reduced in number. There were several brushes to paint his face with powder, looking messy. Alzio began to feel something strange about his cousin.
“Cock of its inhabitants reduced?” Alzio touched his chin as if there was a beard there, but it was still smooth, pure white. “What could Agatha do camping, huh? But it feels like he has been less than two years no longer camping, deh.” Because there was something strange on the dresser, Alzio then approached the wardrobe of Agatha who was almost two meters high and opened the door. The contents did not ludes according to his mind, considering Agatha's clothes were indeed quite a lot, but the contents seemed to have been stirred and messy. Several clothes and tank tops were seen dangling. “Any, like being turned upside down..” murmured.
Alzio then checked the wardrobe next to him where Agatha's favorite branded clothes. It turned out that in the closet next door, the clothes weren't there. His mind says that his cousin is traveling, but I don't know where the limp is and why not say goodbye to the house people. Alzio decided to go around all the corners of the house. All the rooms upstairs, he's been browsing all over. Result nil. He went downstairs, then down from Agatha's parents' room, looked down at the dinner table, looked for Agatha in the pool and the gazebo, searched the barn, and the trunk. Still nil. Alzio then meets Bi Momon who is in the laundry room. Bi Momon is ironing.
“Bi, see Agatha, no?” Alzio asked Bi Momon in a panicked voice.
“Non Agatha? Well, not from earlier in the room, Den? Aunty did not see Non Agatha at all, Den,” Bi Momon replied while ironing a dress branded with peach color. Alzio could have thought, it was his cousin's dress.
“Ooo, is that it, Bi? Yeah, already, deh. Maybe he was again to the supermarket subscription, said Alzio origin although he could not imagine his cousin to the supermarket while carrying a bag of clothes and bags of cosmetics.
“Ah, not possible, Den. Non Agatha if you need something, definitely tell Bibi.”
“Iya, yes..gener too, Bi. So, where are you going, huh? A walk? Or nginep in her house?”
Because his curiosity had not been answered, Alzio went to see Mang Judas who was usually on the front porch of the house. The hope this time was only Mang Judas. There is no way he could ask om and also his aunt, because since they divorced, it has been very rare to be at home. They don't care about Agatha anymore. Everyone's busy, and ma'am. Daria is lately getting ready to move into her new lover's house or rather is her affair.
“Mang, have you seen Agatha?” ask Alzio.
“Iya, Den, no. What happened to Non Agatha, Den?” Judas asked back, he did not understand.
“He's not in his room, Mang. Zio's been looking everywhere, never met. Shampoo nyari under the dining table, keep nil.”
Mang Judas closed his mouth holding back a laugh. It could be that her little boss' cousin suspected Agatha was hiding under the table, like a cat stealing a fish, she thought.
“Ohh, earlier he said to the neighbor's house, Den.”
“Ooo, Agatha deket same neighbor, huh? Whose house is it, Mang?” tanya Alzio fished Mang Judas. It is hard to believe that Agatha is close to her neighbors, even though Agatha is not a typical arrogant person. But honestly, sanctions feel.
Mang Judas seemed to think for a moment before answering Alzio's question. “Wah, if that Mang Judas does not know, Den. Non Agatha didn't say, just tell the neighbor's house. But Non Agatha left while carrying a backpack, Den.”
“Tas backpack? How can I be someone who wants to stop by, anyway? Is it possible that he took a course to enter university?” Alzio continued to wonder in his heart. Looking at all the facts, maybe that will happen, Agatha stopped. But he doesn't want to think anything.
“Kalo so, Zio back inside, Mang. Thanks a lot, Mang.” Alzio went back inside. While walking, he kept thinking where his cousin was going.
Alzio watched the books scattered on the study table. There's a novel and some comics as well as a college entrance exam selection guidebook. “When was the last time Agatha touched this study table, huh?” muttered. Alzio is not interested in Agatha's comics and novels. He took a quick glance and turned to the small cupboard under the study table. When his hand opened the small closet, it was locked. He fumbles on the drawer at the study table, there are some memos as well as a French dictionary. He was still not sure if his cousin studied the dictionary in earnest. He pulled two memos from his place that looked cute, typical of girls.
“What's the idea, huh?” Alzio had a chance to think, what might be a memo that he took some kind of diary. If true, it would feel very guilty if it opened especially if it read it. However, her curiosity overcame reality. He opened the first memo in light blue. “Arrghh, it turns out that my guess is correct. This is indeed a diary.” Alzio told himself. The first memo he opened was about his past.
Alzio switched on the second memo after the first memo he managed to open up to the last page. The second memo is a picture of two hearts interlocked. He painted it with his own hands. And apparently, after Alzio opened the memo, only half of it was already filled. The last date is today's date. With a pounding heart, Alzio read what his cousin had written.
...“This is amazing. It's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CRAZY!! Why did my parents do all this to me? Am I not their flesh and blood? Then, what am I wrong? How!! It feels unacceptable to common sense. Just say if they never love me, never love me. Just say if all this time I have only been a heavy burden for them. Ah, Ah, but why do I complain, no one cares about me anymore than my cousin, Bi Momon, Mang Judas, and my friends. Okay, I'm leaving this house tonight! I don't want them to rule my life. I also don't want them to force me to obey their will. Especially if I really went to college in Beijing, I really wouldn't. So, the way out is I HAVE TO STAY UP tonight. But, my cousin who used to be the impromptu Pastor, don't know. Anyway, he doesn't know. But where am I supposed to go? ⁇ ️”...
“Agatha..Agatha,” Alzio just shook his head. So he really stopped, but he had no idea which direction he was going.
“Basic stupid cousin!” Alzio then thought about what he should do. What is clear, om also tantenya must first know about this. Hopefully that way, om and tantenya can change their stance on lecturing Agatha in Beijing. Alzio opened his phone, then called his aunt.
“Hallo, Aunty. Agatha left home..” Alzio said after the call.
“Agatha off?” the tone of voice Ny. Daria across the street looked mediocre after Alzio gave her a phone call. “What's right, Zio? How do you know he left? It hasn't been twice twenty-four hours, Zio. Maybe he's running around.”
“Dia...” Not yet had Alzio speak, the tantenya has spoken again.
“Already, Zio. Don't worry about unnecessary things like that. Your goal is to come here for the holidays, don't ruin your vacation. Now, get some rest. Aunty didn't come home, yeah.”
TUT!! TUT!! TUT!! The call was decided by Mrs. Darla. Alzio was only dumbfounded by his tantric attitude.
“Ha..hallo, Aunty,” Alzio tried, but altogether the call is over. He doesn't know what to do. He really did not understand why his aunt could not care about the problems that concern his only daughter. Not giving up yet, Alzio called his number.
“Hallo, Uncle, there's bad news. Agatha ran away from home, Uncle,” Alzio said as soon as her call was picked up.
“Agatha? The kid ran away from home? You sure, Zio?”
“Iya, Uncle. Partially absent, Uncle.”
Mr. Thomas took a deep breath across the street. “Your cousin is just sulking. Ordinary spoiled kid. And you know for yourself how he is. She'll definitely come back home, you don't worry too much, Zio. That's all you want to say, Zio?”
“Emm, Uncle, how about? So...”
“Already, let it go first. Uncle still has meetings, Zio. Already done?”
“Ooo. Sorry, Uncle. Good night..” The conversation is over. Alzio was really confused as to why this could be the case. Unfortunately for his cousin. Alzio watched the clock on the wall, already showing ten o'clock at night. Where Agatha this hour hasn't come back yet, he thought. The next five minutes should be back, Alzio hopes. Hope anxious.
“Anything if until eleven has not returned, means Agatha actually stopped. I have to ask Dirgo for help to find him tomorrow.” Alzio muttered to himself while pacing back and forth in his cousin's room.
