Married by Accident
Dinner

The boisterous applause ended Kelana and Elara's performance that night. The audience seemed satisfied with the surprise of two lovebirds who had once been the most frequently talked about couple by their respective fans. Although without preparation Kelana can compensate for the violin Elara game that has long been more proficient than him.

The collaboration between Kelana and Elara was also the last performance of the concert that night. Dozens of reporters approached Kelana and Elara as soon as the two stepped off the stage.

The camera blitz aimed at the star with questions from reporters. Most of their questions are about Kelana and Elara's relationship. Whether they finally re-establish the relationship as rumored by the fans since Elara's return to Indonesia.

Tonight Elara looked dazzling in a white dress wrapped around her body. A dress showing her shoulders.

"Thank you for the question of our fellow journalists, our relationship is limited to what you see on stage, as I said back then that me and Renjani will continue to be together." Kelana immediately left the stage before the journalist's question got even stranger. There was no need for any more gossip about her and Elara.

"Well, did you order the cake?" Kelana asked Yana at the backstage.

"Already, we can take it on the way home."

"All right." Kelana must come home soon because it is almost midnight, he will miss the day when Renjani and himself must celebrate the anniversary. At least Kelana will give cakes and candles for them to blow together after saying a prayer.

"Kelana, wait!" Elara's coming to the backstage. "Kelana, you haven't answered me this morning."

"What about?" Kelana turned her back to see Elara. "Be careful." Kelana held Elara's body that almost fell because of tripping over her own dress.

"On my feelings."

"I answered in front of the reporter." Go straighten Elara's body and take a step back.

"But why did you come here, you also wanted to appear alone with me."

"Just because I came on stage with you doesn't mean I still love you, Lara, sorry, I consider you a friend no more."

"You lied, right?"

"I never lied about my feelings, no matter how much my love used to be now that she's shrunk and gone, there's nothing left, I hope you understand."

Elara was stunned, she thought Kelana's feelings were still the same. But there is a new inhabitant in Kelana's heart. Elara knew this was her fault but she had no chance to make amends for this.

"Hopefully your journey is smooth, I'm gone." Kelana immediately exited the backstage followed by Yana.

Before returning to the apartment they first stop at the cake shop to pick up the anniversary cake that Yana had ordered.

"Why is the picture like this?" Keling Kelana is wrinkled to see a white cake with a picture of two heads wearing hats.

"Why, this is funny." According to Yana this cake is adorable.

"It's not the style I like."

"I know but Mommy Rere would love to." Yana imagined the happy expression of Renjani when she saw the cake.

Kelana lost a landslide, which is more important than herself is Renjani.

"From now on Mas Lana must know what Mbak Rere likes, so that your relationship continues to be harmonious."

"Don't teach me, you haven't even dated." Kelana breezed away ahead of Yana.

Yana chuckles, sometimes when she sees girls her age hanging out in a cafe or park with their girlfriends, she feels jealous. But after thinking about it again dating is just a waste of time. They don't necessarily have as much savings as Yana has now. Yana also wants to get married later. He never thought about the future, only now he still likes his job. He needs it too.

******

He slowly opened the dark room door. In Kelana's hand there was already a cake with two candles on it.

"Branjani." Going closer to the bed and sitting there, he fumbled at the bed that turned out to be empty. Where's Renjani?

Finally he turned on the room lights. The bed looked neat, pillows and blankets were arranged in place. That means Renjani didn't sleep from earlier.

Kelana put down the cake and went into the walk in closet while calling Renjani.

"Where is he?" Kelana moved to the music studio, maybe Renjani was playing with piano or musical instruments owned by Kelana. Because several times Kelana found Renjani playing the piano with the tone Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the only song that Renjani knew.

Nothing, the room was quiet. Kelana finally went into the bathroom but she also did not find Renjani. Kelana started to panic but she kept looking for Renjani to another room. Rooms, warehouses, kitchens, dining rooms are all gone but the results are nil. There was no sign of Renjani.

"Where are you Re?" When he reached into his pocket, he saw his last message to Renjani that he did not get a reply. Kelana thought Renjani was asleep, that's why he did not return the message.

He gets increasingly confused because Renjani's phone number is not active. Go out pressing the bell of Yana's apartment.

"Why Mas?" Yana opened the door without making Kelana wait for long.

"There is no one."

"What's wrong with you?"

"He's not in the room, he's not anywhere."

"Be calm, try the phone first maybe Miss Rere came out the same time."

"Rere couldn't have come out this late let alone he wasn't well."

Now that Yana panicked, she went into Kelana's apartment and called Renjani as if she did not believe Kelana's words just now.

"Sorry." Kelana stops a man her age who she knows is the closest neighbor of her apartment unit.

"Yes?" The man stopped, he and Kelana often met in the gym in the morning.

"Perhaps you know the woman who's always with me at the gym."

"I know, why?"

"You saw him today?"

"So morning I saw him exercising in a normal place after that I didn't see him anymore."

"That's it, thank you."

"His face was pale, sorry I had no intention of noticing him but he was exercising harder than usual, when he came out holding his stomach."

"I saw this near the bathroom trash can." Yana offers a test pack when Kelana returns.

"What's this?"

"That's a pregnancy test."

"What does that mean?"

"Two lines for positive that means Miss Rere pregnant Mas."

The test pack at Kelana's hand fell, it's appropriate that Renjani alluded to the pregnancy a few days ago. Kelana does not know if Renjani is really pregnant.

"I thought he was just kidding."

"Why Mas?"

"When Renjani asked me how if she was suddenly pregnant, I said just drop it, I thought she was kidding." As he sat down, his body went limp immediately knowing this reality. If Kelana knew Renjani was really pregnant, she wouldn't say that. Kelana will accept Renjani's pregnancy with pleasure even though she has not thought of having children. It is impossible to kill his own baby.

Going back to the room, he had to make sure if Renjani did not leave him. Kelana opened the Renjani wardrobe which turned out to be empty. Kelana just realized that Renjani's suitcase also does not exist.

"I'm sorry Re." Walking out of the walk in closet. He felt the bed as if he wanted to feel the presence of Renjani. Where are you Re?

Kelana accidentally found a piece of paper with handwriting.

Thank you for a happy year. This is the year that means the most to me. I've never been loved so much as you did before.

Your departure this morning made me realize that from the beginning I was nothing to you. You chose to come to Elara's concert rather than do my childish plans.

As we promised at the beginning of our marriage, we will be separated after one year.

May you be happy even if I am not by your side.

"No, I can't be happy without you." To get the car keys, he had to find Renjani.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to find Renjani."

"I'm coming along."

"You're here who knows Renjani's coming home."

"Well, I'll call Mas right away if Ms. Rere comes home."

"Thank you, yeah." Kelana rushes away in hopes of finding Renjani.

The first destination of Kelana is the Asmara Publishing office which is not too far from the apartment.

The office was dark but Kelana stayed down from the car and looked inside through the glass window. He touched the doorknob and pressed several combinations of numbers and the door opened. Renjani once told the pin to access the office but Kelana said she didn't need it. Luckily Kelana remembered it, now she needed it.

"Rere, are you here?" Kelana half yelled past the stairs towards the second floor which was as dark as the front of the office. "Re, I'm sorry, I—" Kelana could not continue her sentence, she sat on the floor and cried without a sound. What if he can't find Renjani? if something bad happens to Renjani or their baby, Kelana will not be able to forgive herself for life.

Kelana cars move to dense residential areas that were once the boarding houses of Renjani. Go down from the car through a narrow alley to get to the boarding place.

"Loh Kelana." Jesi couldn't believe seeing Kelana in front of her, why Kelana was here. Jesi was putting on her shoes to go to the hospital because she had a night shift.

"Renjani is here?"

"Branjani? he's staying with you." Jesi frowned, if Kelana is looking for the existence of Renjani means he is not at home. "You can't know where Renjani is."

"When I got back to the apartment, Renjani was gone, she went to bring all her clothes, I thought she was here."

"Why did Renjani run away, what are you?" Jesi approached, she was surprised to hear this.

"I can't tell you, didn't he call you at all?"

"Today we had a chat saying you want to watch Reedeming Love."

"I'll go first, please if there's any news from Rere tell me."

Jesi saw Kelana's back getting further and then disappeared at the end of the alley. Jesi pulled out her phone and dialed Renjani's number.

"What kind of hobby is running away?" Jesi grumbled annoyed that Renjani's phone number could not be reached. He hopes that Renjani will be found soon. If Renjani has left the house it means Kelana made a fatal mistake. Just like Lasti who always scolded Renjani to make his only child decide to live alone in Jakarta.

After returning to the car, Kelana decided to call her in-laws. Although it was midnight but Kelana had no choice, it was possible that Renjani went to her mother's house in Sumedang.

Long enough for Lasti to answer Kelana's phone in a hoarse voice, it's midnight where most people have sailed in the dream world.

"Hello Ma, sorry to interrupt midnight."

"What's wrong?"

"Ma, me and Renjani are having problems, Renjani is leaving the apartment and I have not found her yet, maybe Renjani is coming back to Sumedang."

"Get away, the kid left the house, he's not here."

"Mama knows where Renjani's going."

"Mama doesn't know, he can go anywhere, he's only ever gone to Jakarta from Sumedang when he graduated High School."

"Thank you Ma, I'll find Renjani soon."

"Yes, Mama help call him too."

Kelana disconnects and contacts papa Renjani but the answer remains the same. Out of desperation, where else would he look for Renjani.

"Please get back to Re." Brisks Kelana in the midst of her despair.
