Diandra arrived at the peak area during the day and he immediately headed to the inn because it was tonight planning to calm the mind in a beautiful and comfortable place by spending time working in the tea garden area far from the city center.
He is someone who is the father of the taxi driver's friend because he thinks his heart is upset because the man he loves has become someone else's husband and should not be expected again.
Diandra chose to take a taxi because he was carrying a large suitcase and after traveling for half an hour, now got off the taxi and immediately walked towards the receptionist to book a room.
Of course he chose the cheapest room because he did not want to waste money. Moreover, be aware of having to save expenses in order to meet the needs of life for the next month.
"Let me take you to the room, Miss." A man who was a hotel employee, helped carry a suitcase owned by visitors to the room to be occupied.
Diandra was currently feeling tired after traveling for several hours. He wants to rest first and plans to go around the area around the hotel in the afternoon and it is certain there is no longer sunlight that stings his skin.
He walked up to the man in a black uniform and stopped in one of the rooms.
"This is the room, miss. If you need anything, call." Then put the suitcase in front of the door because it is impossible to bring it inside to maintain the privacy of a guest.
"Thank you." Diandra issued money as tips and gave it to the employee.
The employee immediately received tips from hotel guests. "Thank you, Miss." Then it passed away after the woman nodded her head.
Diandra opened the door and walked in with her suitcase. He cleaned himself in the bathroom before resting his body on a medium-sized bed in the left corner of the room.
Until a while later, he was finished with his ritual and immediately changed clothes with a more relaxed because he wanted to rest for a while to calm his mind and heart that was ravaged.
Moreover, all night he could not sleep and his eyes already felt very spicy. Even when staring at the reflection of his face in front of the mirror, seeing his eyeballs are reddened which indicates tired due to the effects of lack of sleep.
He walked towards the bed and turned his body while staring at the ceiling. This was the first time he had stayed at a tourist inn and made him feel like a rich man just now.
"When I couldn't possibly spend money just to pay for an inn that was expensive enough to drain the bag, but because it used the money of that son of a bitch who was in my account, regretting the money."
Diandra is currently speechless as she remembers Austin telling her about Yoshi's marriage last night and breaking her heart.
"I'm sure if he already knew I was leaving the apartment. Moreover, I've changed the number and surely he can no longer interfere with my life." Diandra was silent when she remembered the figure of another man who was much loved and not to be thought of.
"Did Yoshi read my letter? Will he obey my request to make his wife happy? Or did he torture himself for not being able to do it while remembering me?" Diandra actually knows that Yoshi loves her very much, aware that fate is not in their favor.
That he was destined to live a life of suffering without being able to unite with a good man like Yoshi whom he loved so much. "I love her so much, I immediately threw away this feeling and forgot about it."
"I wish time could heal my wounds by forgetting the man who wasn't meant for me. Then, who's my rib? Am I destined to suffer?" Diandra was still lying on his back on the bed and he who had wanted to close his eyes for a while to rest, could not do so because his mind was currently in a mess.
"When I feel confident in the figure of a good man like Yoshi, but in fact the reality is not as beautiful as the expectations that I was shaken very high. I miss him so much." Now, the courier of grief escapes from that brownish iris.
Diandra could not hold back the sadness that erupted in the heart, so immediately crying sobbing in a room that was very quiet.
The silence that originally filled the room, now changed with the heart-wrenching sobs of a woman who turned curled up on the bed.
"Yoshi, I miss you so much. This should not be felt because there is a woman who is more entitled to get your love. Forget him, Diandra! Don't be weak like this. Everything that happens to you is arranged by God."
Diandra now let her face tear and can guess if it is currently swollen. He chose to spend all day crying so that his feelings were calmer because he did not want to hold back.
Until a long time because of fatigue, he fell asleep with a snuggling position like a baby and a wet bed of tears that poured.
The atmosphere of the room room that was filled with sobs of heart-rending tears from Diandra, was now back in silence. There are only regular breaths from the Diandra that indicate if the current is already dissolved in the subconscious.
A few hours had passed and the sunlight gradually began to dim in the afternoon and soon would sink and be replaced by the moonlight and stars that adorn the sky as night approached.
Even now Diandra has not woken up when the day is getting darker. Until 6pm, a movement was visible from the bed.
Diandra squirmed her body and slowly opened her eyes as she felt that her condition was not okay. He even directly checked his forehead which felt hot as soon as it opened his eyes.
"I have a fever." Diandra massaged the temple because he felt very dizzy.
He stared at the bag on the nightstand next to the bed and moved to open his sling bag. Then look for something and feel relieved once you find it.
"I thought this would happen to me. I'm really very weak if I have a lot of thoughts, so it's always a fever. Fortunately I brought medicine." Then he opened the medicine and drank it.
Only then did he realize that the current outside was already dark. "Even I sleep too long, until I don't realize it's dark."
Diandra patted the eel when he realized the mistake made. "I haven't even eaten since lunch, but I'm taking medicine instead. Hopefully nothing happens to my stomach. I have to eat rice, because otherwise, it'll end up getting stomach acid."
"I ate well today. Who knows could forget all the trouble that made me end up sick like this." Diandra had even ordered the most delicious food regardless of the price.
Moreover, thinking that Austin's money is still a lot and can be squandered by it. "Find me this is my vengeance on that son of a bitch."
Then he went back to the bed and took a cell phone because he planned to contact the person who was the father of the taxi driver's friend.
"Maybe that person is already relaxed at home at this time. How do I start? I was really nervous to say my intentions." While Diandra was still busy designing the most appropriate words to convey, bearded was shocked when the voice from his phone rang.
Reflex he stared at the phone that was in his grasp. "I can already guess if he's the one who called because absolutely no one knows my new number but him."
Thinking there was something that the man who was the taxi driver wanted to say, Diandra immediately shifted the green button upwards after saying his greeting.
"Hello."
"Did I bother you, Diandra?" ask the man who is none other than Cakra to start the conversation even though he feels very nervous because he is afraid if Diandra is angry he calls.
"No. It just so happened that I was actually about to call the father of your friend to ask if there was a job opening to work in the tea garden." Diandra intends to ask Cakra for help to connect with his friend's parents.
However, he had not been able to express it, the corner of his lips immediately curved upwards as soon as he heard the words of the man who works as a taxi driver.
"It just so happened that before I called you, I called my friend and talked to his mother. He said there's a vacancy for women picking tea. So, if you agree, you can directly come to the location of the tea plantation. I'll send you the location."
Cakra deliberately preceded Diandra to ask parents to be more familiar with the woman who made him interested, but always closed himself and not easy to approach, choosing to do more effort.
Hope Diandra can understand and not be too close. He also hopes that Diandra will open up to be more familiar with him.
On the other hand, Diandra immediately felt relieved because he thought he would not live hanging at the top because he had gotten a job.
"Alhamdulillah. Then tomorrow I'll come there. It would be better to be able to work right away because if you are constantly idle and there is no income, I can eat stones here." Diandra was now staring towards her suitcase which contained all her clothes and some belongings.
"Yes, that is your recovery, Diandra. God seems to give you an easy way to find sustenance. So, don't continue to dissolve in sadness because there will be another happiness from the hurt you feel." Cakra even thought that he was too smart when advising Diandra.
However, thinking if it is a consolation that the woman across the phone does not drag on in sadness when thinking about the problem experienced.
Wishing the woman who made him want to get closer was coming back and not constantly grieving either because of any problems.
"I can't work without your help. Thanks again. Oh yeah, there's a mess for the workers, right? So, I'll all carry my suitcase with me when I go there." Diandra is now really relieved because he has got a job without having to bother.
Moreover, he was nervous if he had to contact an unknown person and suddenly asked or asked for work problems.
He was really grateful because when he ran away from the painful reality and wanted to start a new chapter in his life, he always met good people who helped him.
'I always meet good people who end up helping me, but I don't want to fall into the same hole, which is falling in love with a man who tries to get close and kind to me.'
'Joshi alone reigns in my heart because he will never be replaced by any man in the world,' diandra's murmured which was currently rounding her eyes upon hearing what Cakra had just revealed.
"Don't bother me because we're friends. I decided to go back to the top and work there. After I thought, working in Jakarta does not make me have savings because the cost of living there is also large."
Cakra felt very lazy to be in Jakarta once met with a woman who attracted his heart. So, after delivering Diandra earlier, chose to return to the top and did not continue the job as a taxi driver.
In fact, he had already revealed to his friend's parents to be able to work as a driver at the tea plantation because there happened to be a vacancy. That way, being able to meet every day with women makes him interested at first sight.
"Did you do that on purpose to get close to me? Didn't I tell you I don't want to open my heart to any man in the world." Diandra suddenly felt annoyed that the man had instead deliberately approached her.
He is really afraid of being close to men who are known to always have a million ways to be able to do anything in order to get women who are targeted. Even he was afraid if the events that happened to him repeated.
'I was so afraid that a man would do anything to get the woman he wanted. If Cakra is reckless to do anything to me to have me, my life will be ruined for the umpteenth time.'
Diandra at this moment really felt confused as to what to do. He hesitates to accept the kindness of a man who clearly shows an interest in him.
'Did I just deny his kindness and cancel my intention to work there? Is there any other vacancy nearby besides working in the tea garden?' Diandra was really worried about what to do and when she heard the baritone voice from across the phone, made her feel like she was a woman who did not know how to return the favor.
"Yes, I did do that on purpose, I will never force you to accept me. You don't have to do anything or get my attention back. So, just think of me as someone else and act like you always do." Being silent for a moment because you want the woman across the phone to not misunderstand you.
"Am I not sincerely helping you? So, don't think that I'm asking you to return the favor. Just focus on your goal to work without thinking I'm around you because I won't do anything to you." Cakra, who does not want any mistakes, chooses to end the call after saying farewell.
To be continued...
