Shakti began preparations to make his way to a mountain slope. All the next tasks he left to Arka. Expansion of factories in a small town will provide some advantages of several aspects.
“Seriously, you will travel by yourself?” asked Arka, she was still hesitant if Shakti would do a trip in the interior alone.
“Of course , Ark. My aunt is in the area! Mekipun I slightly forgot the way, but I am sure if I will find it.” replied shakti. The last time Shakti went there when he graduated from college, he first came home from abroad. But, since holding the company and focusing on his work, the man who has a hobby of doing trips and adventures does not have time for his hobbies.
Arka was just waiting for Shakti who was packing his goods that would be put in a large backpack. A digital camera that he never forgot had been set up in a small bag. Then he was stunned to remember Alexa, the wife he had not found to date.
Had Alexa been with him, he would have taken his wife to see a place he had never found in the city.
“ Ay, until when should I be patient to find you." Shakti murmured inwardly. He seemed to have been desperate in this quest.
“Excuse me..” that soft voice broke the silence between them. Dinda went into the room with the maximum area owned by the owner of the villa.
“Include, Din!” arka said when she saw Dinda with two cups of coffee that still reflected the smoke. The girl with the beautifully hanging straight hair walked towards the table where there was Shakti sitting there.
“Evening is ready, Mom! Sorry you went home first because there is an RT channel, Mas.” obviously dinda still with bowed.
“So tonight I will clean up the villa.” continued Dinda when putting a tray on the table, her eyes glanced at a glance Shakti who was staring at her phone. Dinda did often steal a glance at Shakti since the first saw the man in this place.
“ Thank you, Din. Soon we will have dinner.” said Arka, the man grew suspicious when he caught Dinda's glance at Shakti. But what he glimpsed is still fun with his phone.
Dinda hurried to leave them, wanting to chat with Shakti again. Darling Arka was never far from the figure he wanted to approach.
“Let's eat. Tomorrow after the Fajr Salat I will start the journey.” take Shakti who has stood. The handsome-looking, tall-nosed man stood up and stretched his muscles before he walked out of his room, which was trailed by Arka.
“Loh Din, you haven't returned?” shakti asked as she caught the shadow of the girl.
“In the meantime, it's still waiting for Mas Shakti and Mas Arka to have dinner first. I still have to clean up the table. “ Early stop the step when going into the kitchen.
“You just go home now. Tomorrow come early to clear things up!” shakti. Shakti thinks that if Dinda is a girl, it's inappropriate to go home too late.
“Ehmm. But Mas..” Dinda felt bad if she had to come home from Villa before cleaning up the job that became her father's duty.
“Neither, Din. Still can tomorrow.” Arka quickly. Shakti's thinking with Arka may be different, although they give the same reaction. But, Arka did not need to say what she felt to Shakti. Anyway, tomorrow Shakti will go for a trip.
Among the dimly lit atmosphere, the girl was stunned herself under the mango tree that was in front of the small house owned by Laras. Faintly her hands moved rubbing her melted tears, she missed her mother so much. Usually Mama Zoya will see her in the room when she is not there to gather. And continued with the story that contains a little curses while they fall.
“Mama, Ale kangen Mama.” watered Ale with the shadow of Hanum who always protested because he felt all the more affectionate with her. In fact, at that time papa was clearly very pampering himself. Alexa misses everything. Although last he felt the anger of his papa so great, but he always missed his papa. Her father was the one she always idolized. His hard work, his decisiveness and how he protects all who are his responsibility.
“How are you, Papa? Ale misses Papa. May Papa always be healthy and be able to forgive Ale.” Alexa looks up at the sky with a starlight that looks beautiful, but not for it. But he held back the trangis because of the longing that felt tight in his chest.
Not only was his family the one he missed, but that longing he was aiming at someone he wanted to forget, but the shadow of being with the man left an agonizing longing in the corner of his heart. A feeling he wants to erode with hatred, but always fails.
If people say first love never mind, maybe that's what Alexa feels right now. As hard as he hates Shakti, as hard as he remembers his actions to make it wasted as it is today. But no one can lie to themselves. He still had a sense of trembling in his heart as he recalled the man.
“Salma...” call Baras.
“You've eaten?” ask Laras while walking closer to Alexa among the dimly lit susana.
“I still feel full, Ma'am. Same time God made chicken porridge.” Alexa does want chicken porridge because it misses the chicken porridge made by Zama Zoya.
“It looks like you have enjoyed teaching children to read?’ ask Laras.
“Iya Ma'am, I feel my life is more meaningful. Just being able to help Mbah Pariyem makes me happy. I also learned traditional medicine. Which sometimes does not make sense but. yes can be cured.” In the new place Alexa is just trying to adjust what already applies. He did not want to be too brag with the knowledge that had been learned as long as it did not cause fatal illness.
“Mbak, why not find the God's papa? Pity the gods, in also entitled to feel that happiness .” Alexa tries to persuade Laras. But only a sigh of breath that felt heavy, he again felt his life felt bert when thinking about the happiness of his son.
“Who knows the man also wants a God. After all they have a blood relationship.” continued Alexa.
“But, for many, Gods are just illegitimate children. The result of our mischief in the past.” Ogled Laras like there is guilt against his son. The taste was mixed with a feeling that was slashing in his heart.
If time could be repeated, he would not have to meet the man. He also did not have to be that innocent, if caste would not get in the way of their feelings.
“Do not give that title to a child born holy. The wrong thing is Mba Laras relationship with the man.” said Alexa who does not want anyone to judge innocent children.
“Come go inside. Ntar there is a demit who has a crush on you.” the barrel goda who actually admires the beauty of Alexa. He believes alexa is from the Priyayi family. He said soft, smooth skin and a watch that he knew when in the city the price was quite fantastic. But, as expensive as any item when it is in the wrong place there is definitely no price.
