Me And You For Us
Kandara.

...~Happy Reading~...

Kandara is a programmer from a well-known IT company in Indonesia. Kandara's performance in the company is highly favored. So he and his two colleagues, Mala and Toby were assigned for 10 days at the company Inte'Q. One of the leading IT companies in Seoul, South Korea.

Today they will return to Indonesia after completing their duties at the company Inte'Q.

Upon arriving at Incheon Airport, Kandara looked for her two co-workers in dismay. Because he realized he had made a mistake. 'May they not be mad at me for what happened this morning.'  Kandara is deep and hopeful.

Earlier this morning after returning to the hotel, Kandara did not find her two co-workers. According to the hotel, they both checked out and left a message that they had left for the airport.

Kandara went into her room and cleaned her body. She changed clothes and dressed up. Then chehk out and follow his two colleagues to the airport, because time does not allow for him to linger.

Kandara was grateful, because all her luggage and luggage had been packed the day before. So not much time is wasted to pack all the luggage.

Kandara asked the hotel to prepare a taxi for her. Along the way in a taxi to the airport, Kandara continued to pray hoping for a smooth ride. Very limited time before the flight. He was grateful, the streets were not too crowded, so they could arrive on time.

Upon arriving at the airport, Kandara searches for Mala and Toby. Upon seeing his two comrades, Kandara walked quickly to where they were standing while dragging her suitcase with a fast-beating heart.

"I'm sorry for Dara, Mas Mala and Mas Toby" Kandara said after being near them, setting his breath with a guilty face. When he saw the faces of his two colleagues, Kandara felt even more guilty. 'They must have been very panicked and worried when they found me this morning and didn't find me in the hotel room.' Inner Kandara.

The two colleagues looked towards Kandara with feelings that could not be described. Pleased, relieved, angry, upset, worried, all in one.

"You're from anywhere, Kandara. You're almost late." Toby said while watching his watch. Toby had never called her by such a clear name. But being annoyed, also anxious and worried makes it so.

"So morning we searched and called you many times, but your phone was off. What happened to you, Kandaraa?" Toby stared intently at Kandara's face and exhaled slowly after seeing Kandara's eyes begin to glaze over.

"Already, already. Dara, check in first, gih. Still missing check in. We checked in first, thinking you still want to stay in Seoul. Hehe." Mala spoke in a soft voice and tried to joke around to melt the atmosphere, because she heard Toby's rather high voice and her face began to red.

"Oh yes, Dara check in first. Once again, forgive Dara, yes Mas." while putting his hands together in the chest to his two colleagues and moving to the check-in place with a sad heart for disappointing them.

Toby's heart kept wondering, without taking his eyes off Kandara's back who was stepping in front of him. 'What's wrong with her?'

Mala nudged Toby on the shoulder and said: "Toby, did something happen to Dara last night? He's not like he used to be. His face was a little pale and his eyes were very cute." Mala also stared at Kandara's back.

"That's what's on my mind too, Mala. Did the friend she met last night do something to her?" Toby asked, as he continued to stare at Kandara who had already walked back to their place after finishing checking in.

'She's not like the Dara we know. The cheerful, warm, and beautiful face always smiled cheerfully, making many people happy to be close to him.' Inner Toby.

'You are a responsible and professional. He wouldn't do something as irresponsible as this morning. She's not like Dara who's in front of us right now.' Inner Mala.

Finally with various questions and anxieties, the three of them walked silently into the waiting room. Each tried to refrain from talking.

Especially Kandara was more silent and tendrung avoid to talk with Mala and Toby. Just like he did after arriving in the waiting room.

Kandara went to the toilet, and lingered there. Ahead of boarding, just returned to the waiting room to be with his two colleagues get into the plane.

...°-° Any change of one's attitude, ...

...there must be a cause °-°...

...~***~...

On the plane, Kandara did not sit down with her two colleagues, as they had different seat numbers.

This condition slightly relieved Kandara's heart, because it could avoid the gaze of his two colleagues. Kandara was also able to avoid various questions that had to be answered by him.

His heart and mind were not ready to answer why he did not return to the hotel last night. Kandara will not be able to tell the events that were experienced last night for her two colleagues.

Everything that happened and that Kandara experienced last night was not a dream or a hallucination. But it was a reality that struck his consciousness and shook his heart and mind.

The clear details she had been holding all morning began to flow on the margins of her eyes. 'What will happen to my life going forward? What will happen to my relationship with Mas Lucha?' Kandara keeps on helping.

Many times he tried to stop his tears, but he continued to stagnate and flow. 'Calm down. Calm down Dara, fokusss' Kandara sat up while patting her chest slowly.

Finally he straightened his face and prayed for the flight as well as himself. Only God can help him now. Only God can strengthen it.

He put his hands on his chest, pressed him firmly, he prayed: 'Oh my God, protect our flight and please strengthen me. Amen.'

Kandara took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He resuscitated his back and tried to close his eyes and try to rest for a moment, because his body was very tired and seemed to want to crumble.

But his broken heart controlled his body more. In vain, trying to rest. When his eyes closed, all the events that were experienced last night were like slides of movies playing over and over again.

No matter how hard he tried not to remember what happened, the incident he experienced was rolling back along with the roar of tears that flowed on his cheeks.

What was even more sad was that he could not afford to hate her. The shady face that had been admired all this time, that face was the one that was imprinted in his mind. The same face in reality.

Not only because of his good looks, but the attitude and personality that is known so far, it is true. The face he saw this morning before leaving him, that was the real him.

To be able to meet him in a dream is impossible. For he is like a star in the sky, not only out of sight, but out of hand. All this time I could only see through social media.

But when he was able to meet her in the real world, reachable not only with his eyes, but also within the reach of his hands, everything was blown away due to an act that was neither commendable nor painful.

Kandara's heart still admired him, so the reality that happened was very sad. In silence Kandara's heart cried, making her tears could not stop flowing.

On the sidelines crying, Kandara saw the person beside her who started to notice her. Kandara took a tissue from her bag to wipe away her tears.

When he saw his lowbat phone, Kandara pulled it out and grabbed it. He turned his gaze out the window, looking a beautiful rolling cloud. But the beauty of the cloud scroll was unable to comfort him.

Then Kandara closed the window and leaned her head slowly. 'May You comfort me, O Lord. For You are my comfort.'  Kandara said inwardly, then closed her eyes.

...°-° An unwanted loss, very painful °-°...
