Jully Mahardika
Ep. 2 Back To The Past

"We rarely gather again, it's been a long time, even if there is me here it won't be enough, you still feel lonely."

It was seven o'clock at night, but Jully was still sitting in her study, she was still in the office and there was no sign she wanted to go home. Rere's words this afternoon were still clearly ringing in his ears. "Am I that sad? Does it look so obvious that loneliness is on my face?" Ask in the heart. Suddenly her phonsel rang, Auliya's name was there, and she picked it up.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam my dear brother... How's the office doing?" Answer Auliya.

"Basic adek has no morals! Isn't it the news of his rich brother how is it even the news of the office, am I the office security guard?!" Maki Jully long.

"Wooo slow beb's... Don't scold dong... How's brother doing?" There was a noise across there.

"Capek, a lot of work today, to the point of going home just feels like mager." Jully replied that sounded lethargic.

"Seriously you're still in the office at this hour?" Auliya asked in disbelief, how Jully was the laziest person if told to overtime, he always finishes his work before office hours are over or he will finish it the next day if not too pursued dateline. But this is Jully overtime? Therefore it is very difficult to believe for an Auliya Dirgantara who incidentally is a cousin and partner Jully in the office knowing that her beautiful sister is still in the office at seven p.m.

"Hm.. " Answer Jully is lazy.

"It's almost eight o'clock in the night and you still haven't come home?" Auliya asked still in disbelief.

"Do I need a video call?" Reply Jully jester.

"Can." Directed by Auliya.

"Okay!! Whoareyou? It doesn't matter either." Reply Jully sewot.

"Dihh still crave, seriously kak tumben aja you are still in the office at this hour, everyone in the office also knows that the brother is the most anti the same name overtime." Auliya tried to calm Jully who seemed to be in a less than good mood.

"Don't need to be discussed, I don't want to, then you call what is Aul?" Ask Jully.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I just want to tell my brother that I can't go back to the office tomorrow, the business here is still not finished, maybe two more days can just come back." Auliya.

"Okay no papa, I can take care of that here, you're there hopefully quickly run the business."

"Thanks understand, dah sono came home late at night, definitely not dinner too, right?" Guess Aul.

"Hmm laper." replied Jully while pursing her lips which surely could not be seen by Auliya.

"Fastly go home!"

"Yes, bye!!" Jully immediately hung up the phone unilaterally and immediately rushed to clean up his belongings and then stepped out of the office to the parking lot where his car was parked. Then he got into his car and immediately plugged his gas towards the direction back to his apartment.

On the way home he stopped for a while at a cafe to buy a glass of his favorite matcha and a cupcake of strowberry to prop up the stomach. Currently he did not want to eat rice, only he had to fill his stomach if he did not want his mag disease to recur. While waiting for her order, Jully takes out her phone and opens a chat grub she made with her best friends. Slender. That's what it looks like over there. Grub who is always crowded by the news and laughter of his friends is now quiet, it has been three months, at least a few messages are visible, even though it is only him and Rere who dominate. The others don't go anywhere. Jully just stared at the moody flat object and typed in a message.

^^^Jully:^^^

^^^Hai gaes.how are you? Lama^^^

^^^meet, meet tomorrow^^^

^^^in the usual place, mumpung^^^

^^^weekend.^^^

It didn't take long there was a reply there, it turned out Rere.

Reres:

Okay, I'm so excited, don't know what else?

Ale:

I think I can dech.

Chansari:

I'm working on ya gaes, skalian tomorrow also I want to go out nganter goods to consumers.

Reres:

Oh.. So if you do not go out to the consumer goods to you, you are lazy to meet us-we?!

Chansari:

Not that Re, just a coincidence tomorrow I want to nganter batik order.

"Kok being a gini fight?" Inner Jully immediately interceded.

^^^Jully:^^^

^^^Udah-udah, which is important^^^^

^^^tomorrow to meet, right?^^^

Ningsih:

So dong... How's Trus Wicky?

Oh yes Jully almost forgot that one man, the man who once occupied the empty space of his heart, even though they could never be together like a lover and had to settle for being trapped in the bonds of friendship.

Nicky:

I'm out of town gaes, again,

tomorrow we go back to Malang,

if the time is still up

I'm going to follow.

^^^Jully:^^^

^^^Jam ten in the morning.^^^

Bright Jully and approved by her five best friends. And he closed the chat room on his chat grub with a smiley lips, at least tomorrow not only Rere who accompanied him. He got out of the cafe after taking his order and headed home to his apartment with smiling lips all the way, impatiently waiting for tomorrow. Tonight he must have slept well.

🌸🌸🌸

This morning Jully was getting ready to go to meet her friends, she was already impatient waiting for this day. Jully not only wants to meet them, but she has prepared a surprise for her five best friends. After the preparations were finished, he immediately set off towards their appointment place.

When he got there, not a single friend came. It is still 15 minutes earlier than the promised time. Jully had already booked a place for six people, then she took out her phone and sent a message to the club, informing her that she had arrived. Long time no answer, maybe they are on the way, he thought. Soon Rere arrives with Ona, his youngest daughter.

"Hi Jull, long time ago?" Say hello to Rere while hugging Jully.

"Lumayan, I'm the only one that's part. Hi Ona beautiful how are you?" Jully answered and greeted the little girl in the pink dress.

"Good aunt." Ona answered while kissing the back of Jully's hand.

"Duhh.pinter." Reply Jully while petting Ona's head.

"The others haven't come yet Jull?" Ask Rere.

"Maybe it's still on the road, you order it first, I ordered it first." The answer is taken by Rere.

The waiter came to deliver Jully's order earlier and all of you recorded Rere's order just now. They were chatting, confiding in each other and this while waiting for the arrival of the other four friends.

"Jull them anyway long?" Ask Rere.

"Don't know Re, I just sent a message if we get there first." Jully said while showing her chat to Rere.

"It was 30 minutes ago Jull and none of them were thickened." Rere replied with a growl. Yeah, Rere's been a little annoyed by his friends lately. It is as if they are the only ones who are busy themselves and others are not. Suddenly, Rere's phone rang, and there Kansari was calling. He picks up the phone immediately after showing Jully who contacted him.

"Yes Sar, where are you now? We were both waiting for that... " Task Rere without saying stale. There was a look of annoyance after hearing Sari's reply across the street.

"What?! Any more?! Can't you change the time, it's late afternoon or tomorrow?!" Rere's reply sounded really furious.

"Okay, it's up to you!" Rere immediately closed his call unilaterally.

"What's the Re?" Jully asked confusedly.

"Sari can't come, he said the goods ordered by his consumers increased and he had to deliver everything today." Bright Rere.

"Good dong, means that his batik efforts are really smooth." There was a disappointed tone in his words even though the smile was still on his lips. Rere clasped Jully's hand trying to calm down and said,

"There's me and the others, maybe they'll come soon."

"Ah yes, there seems to be an incoming message." Jully immediately shifted her phone screen and opened a chat room on their grub.

Ale:

Sorry there was a sudden assignment

from the office and I have to

out of town, maybe next time.

Ningsih:

I can't today either,

my son's tooth broke because

falling, I had to

take it to the dentist, please,

Sorry about genks.:(.

After reading that all the faces of Jully more sad, shortly thereafter there was an incoming call from Wicky who said the plane he would be boarding there was a change in departure schedule and the possibility he would reach Malang at night. He also said his regret for not being able to come and Jully was forced to accept the reason, yahh? Rere who saw that could only sigh tiredly. His friends have changed. Jully who understood Rere was worried about him trying to smile.

"Nothing Re, I am Ok! We'll enjoy it today, but we're always both, right?"

"Ready lawyer!" Reply Rere while taking the respectful attitude followed by Ona making them laugh together.

Time is getting late and Rere said goodbye to go home first because Ona has started to sleepy. While Jully is still sitting on the cafe bench while occasionally sipping her favorite matcha. He pulled out a pink notebook depicting a Japanese cat and a ballpoint pen, he started to open the booklet and write something there.

"Today I thought we could laugh together like we used to and surprise you, but I was wrong. Then and now it's different, time is passing and you're not the same. I forgot we're not kids anymore. You have your own world and I have no right to it. But, can't you guys just reach for my miss for a day? If it can be repeated, I want to go back to our youth and fix what should have been improved and do what I should have done."

After his last sentence he closed the little book and put it back in his handbag, then he got up from his seat stepping out of the cafe. But he accidentally saw a boy who was separated from the supervision of his parents walking to the middle of the highway coinciding with a car driving towards the boy. Not knowing what Jully had in mind, she immediately ran towards the boy and pushed him to the side of the road. But unfortunately it was his body that bounced fell hit by the car. He was immediately unconscious.

There was a voice that shouted his name.

"Jullis... Jully wake!!"

Jully still closed her eyes, but the voice was getting clearer in her ears. Like her mother's voice, her inner self. Brak!! Suddenly the door of his room opened violently from outside.

"Jully woke up, what time is it?!"

Huh, is her mother here? Inner Jully was shocked, and this... This room is his old room in his late grandmother's house. Not over his confusion, he was surprised again by the words of his mother.

"What time is it?! Are you not in school?!"

"What?! School?!"

Seriate...
