Finally, after a journey of nearly ten hours, Maura arrived at her destination city. He stepped down the streets that were still quite crowded, although the time almost showed midnight. He must be extra careful here, considering the crime rate in the big city is quite high. Luckily, the luggage is not much, just a large backpack.
The first step that became Maura's goal was a twenty-four-hour restaurant because the worms in his stomach had been protesting. Like workers who for months do not get a salary.
Continue looking for a hotel or inn to rest tonight. Only the next morning, he will find a rented or boarding house close to his workplace.
''Hi, we meet again.'' The voice of someone surprised Maura who was waiting for her order to arrive.
''Oh, jeez..,'' Maura complained.
''Why should I see him again, anyway?''
''Eat here too? Same I also want to fill my stomach while waiting for an invitation, said Rayyan.
The young man was still acting pretentious, even though he had never been bullied by the girl.
''No nanya, '' said Maura cuek. He even coolly scroll his phone to find the nearest hotel.
A waiter came to bring the girl's order. Regardless of the whereabouts of the man in front of her, Maura casually devoured her food. Because his stomach really feels sore and wrapped around.
''You want to find a job, in this town?'' guess Rayyan, her eyes glanced at the large bag that was next to the woman's seat.
''Hmmm....''
''Wow! Coincidentally. My house needs ART. The old maid resigned because she was old. And we haven't got a replacement yet. Maybe you're interested in working there?''
Maura stopped her chewing, then stared intently at the man before her.
Meanwhile, Rayyan did not feel if she was being stared so by the woman in front of him. He is still busy with his own thoughts.
'May he accept my offer. Pretty good, right? Could've taken him, Rayyan's mind grinned.
''You think this is my face, the look of an advocate?''
''Eh!''
Rayyan was surprised when she saw Maura's reaction. Totally beyond expectations. He was already confident, the woman was willing to accept his offer. Apparently, the opposite.
''Today, I was unlucky twice for meeting such a strange man like you, Maura said with annoyance.
He slipped two orange-colored money sheets under the glass, took the rough of his backpack, then left just like that strange man.
Maura continued to continue in her footsteps without caring about Rayyan's screams that continued to call out to her.
''Hey, You! Don't leave! I'm sorry if I misspoke.''
Instead of stopping, it was Maura speeding up her pace.
Rayyan wants to go after the woman she's after. But, failed because of the arrival of his omnya.
''Ouch, Om. Why did the hunt come, anyway? I'm going after him.'' Rayyan pointed at Maura's back that was getting away.
''Later if om did not come, you are angry not clear to om, '' said the middle-aged man defended himself.
''But the arrival of the om was at an inappropriate time.'' Rayyan propped her hair rough, her face looking frustrated.
''Been done. Go, go! You also have to work tomorrow, right?'' ask him to distract his nephew.
''But, Om. He....''
''If a soul mate must meet. Come on, it's tonight. Tomorrow there is an important meeting, '' take him half forcefully.
Rayyan followed her into the car half-heartedly.
...----------------...
''Thank you, '' Maura said as she received the key to the room.
''Thanks again, ''' the receptionist replied kindly.
Maura immediately headed for her room. He wants to rest his body that feels sore because all day sitting on the vehicle bench.
Arriving there, Maura laid herself on a soft mattress while closing her eyes. But, it was only a moment that his eyes opened again, when he remembered the words of the strange man he had met earlier.
''Mbak's face is very similar to omku.''
Maura confirmed her sitting facing the young man.
'HUH! Meaning, how?'' ask him with a mounting curiosity.
''Yes, very similar, like the female version of omku. He once lost his pregnant wife. Kidnapped by his business rivals. When I found the point of his existence. Uh, his wife is no longer in place.''
Maura was stunned to hear it, 'Why is the story like continuous? Could it?'' inner wondering.
''What after that was not sought?'' Maura was trying to extract information from this man.
''Even, until now, my omku is still looking for it but still the result is nil. It looks like it's lost in the earth. Either his wife and son are still alive or not.''
''Why was it not tracked down?'' ask Maura again.
''The past is not as sophisticated as it is now.'' Rayyan.
''Is it possible for him?'' Maura tried to guess, Ah, but where is it possible? Could it be someone else, right?'' Maura denied that thought.
He chose to rest his body because time had shown at one in the morning. Tomorrow, he still has to go to the hospital where he works to submit his transfer files. All right, looking for a place to stay.
