Love In Longing
Ct. 5 (That Voice? )

After registering the hotel room number with the officers guarding the entrance of the breakfast area, Arsen immediately entered and mingled with the other hotel occupants. Which is mostly inhabited by young people his age who are participating in the Olympic Coding code competition at the world level.

Arsen and James started down one by one table lined up quite a lot, to provide various types of breakfast menu that can be taken alone. Where one of the table lines reads Indonesian Food.

It provides rendang and Indonesian fried rice.

Two menus that are quite familiar to the world are an option for some people who are there. Because in fact, it is not only the group of Gwen and Arsen who come from Indonesia. But some students from various countries also come from Indonesia.

One of them is a group from Germany. This group also has one student from Indonesia.

Not lucky when working in your own country, not necessarily unlucky when working abroad, right?

Arsen chose rendang to be the breakfast menu this morning. Because no matter what the circumstances he faced, still make him quite long for the birthplace that he rarely visited for almost four years.

Though the country was his homeland, but the young man chose to visit it rarely. I don't know until when...

Since leaving Indonesia almost four years ago, it was known that the young man only visited Indonesia twice. And that's just to stay no more than a week.

Because there is one thing that is being avoided by the young man. That is meeting Clarice, and the story that accompanies the owner of the name.

The young man was not ready to meet someone he thought was already in love with his rival.

Although he promised to always be there if Clarice was injured and in need, but in fact he was not ready to appear in this condition of the heart that still had to be improved.

Feeling not as good as Clarice's choice at that time, making her choose to disappear from all her friends in Indonesia. And switch to a new, completely new life.

Because the young man was completely away from his own homeland. His parents visited him more often in New York, America.

After the S1 lecture ended, the driver was planning to take the S2 abroad again.

Again man can plan, but still God determines everything. I don't know what will happen after today. A day full of plans for the future.

Carrying a special food menu from his own country, Arsen walked towards one of the circular table, which was a circle, and that's when Gwen entered the ground floor area that was used for breakfast with the other hotel residents.

Eating quickly, and occasionally being seen chatting with some of his friends, did not necessarily make the young man choke.

"Are you hungry or something?" ask James. "Eat fast!"

"It's not about hunger... But about preparing for tomorrow. We don't have to stay in a place like this for too long. Instead of us here, we better take a walk around the hotel." proposed the young man. "Me-refresh our brains!"

"Look!" Arsen pointed at the entrance by moving his chin without looking at the entrance area. "Visitors are getting crowded, even if they have trouble finding a seat!" continued.

"Hem... yeah! You're always right, Sen!" answer the others, and go quickly without continuing the conversation.

While Gwen, the girl was busy choosing a breakfast menu that suits her taste that morning. As a fan of Japanese food, Gwen finally chose sushi with small size. Then added by taking fried rice in the same store where rendang is located.

Satisfied with choosing the menu, the girl immediately brought the food to one of the tables, where there was already one friend who sat first in her chair.

"Eat what, Na?" gwen asked the only female friend she was with.

"Bragging!" answer Ariana.

"Haa... We can't be far from Indonesia!" muttered Gwen.

"Yes!" sahut Ariana's. "You're right!" continued giggling.

Unbeknownst to Gwen, one table away from her was a table where Arsen and his four friends were having breakfast as well. It's just that the position of the two of them is turned against each other.

So no one knows, if there are two human children who should know each other in the same room, when mingling with hundreds of students who berjubel in the breakfast area of the 5-star hotel.

Time passed, and Arsen ended his meal with a glass of mineral water, and continued with a sip of guava juice.

Arsen went back to the exit along with his three friends. Four handsome young men who came from different countries.

Arsen is from Indonesia. Two of his friends were Native American, and James himself was from Guatemala.

But the country that entered the middle American group this time did not issue his team. Or not sign up to be an Olympic participant. So that James does not need to be confused with his home country. Different from Arsen.

Crossing and walking casually among people who were looking for a table to eat, made him choose to focus on finding a way out, without looking at people he barely 99% did not know.

Indeed, the current situation is not crowded, it's just that it's been more crowded than before.

"Wow! Good thing we got out, James!" arsen Flat said.

"Yes! Otherwise, we can get even more dizzy with this crowd!"

"We must immediately find a large place!" abugn.

"Hotel park, suitable for a while!"

"Hmmm... Can do!"

DEG!

Arsen's voice that was heard quite clearly using English was up to Gwen's ears. Naufal's lover immediately stopped his chewing of food, and immediately sharpened his hearing, with a quick movement he turned to the right where the source of the sound came from.

"What's up, Gwen?" ariana asked, staring stunned at her friend.

But the girl seemed to still focus on looking for a very familiar voice in her ear despite using English. Until the girl stands up to find where the source of the sound came from.

But the number of students who are the same age as him makes it difficult for the girl to find who the owner of the voice is. His eyes continued to focus looking around. But what power, people that there was none he knew other than Ariana.

Added all come from different countries, with different hair colors and face levels. It's hard to find someone he might know.

"Gwen?" call Ariana. "Why?" tanya Ariana shook Gwen's arm slowly.

"Huh?" Gwen turned her head to the left, when she felt her hand being moved by someone.

"Why you?" ask Ariana to repeat.

Gwen sat quietly, her face still dumbfoundedly observing around. His brain worked hard to remember who the owner of this voice was. He felt familiar, but also felt he had not heard it for a long time.

"I felt like I heard the voice of a stranger." replied Gwen later.

"Someone's voice?" asked Ariana frowned. "We're a long way from Indonesia, Gwen! It's very unlikely that we'll be able to meet anyone we know here without an appointment..."

"I know... Just that kind of small possibility that I believe exists right now."

"What sounds like?"

"That's what I forgot!" gwen was upset with herself.

Gwen was still silent in sharpening her memories. He was very sure if he was very familiar with the sound.

' Whose voice then? '

He murmured in his heart.
