Missing From Bian
Swollen Eyes

Morning came too soon. I barely slept, crying all night. Dion. And I imagine what Dion is doing? Aaaahhh, whatever was destroyed in his house, maybe his parents should buy new room supplies today. And I'm waiting for her parents for sure one will contact me. But that's not it, if Dion's gonna ban them. 

I wanted to ask permission, not work today, but I'm not feeling good about Nando. I finally went to work. 

The morning briefing at the FO was safe, but Nando went back and forth and glanced at me. From I came, Nando like to invite a chat but the situation is not possible, friends also like him wondering about my mood today. 

And the end of one message 

“ Hey.. You okay? “ I lyrics the sender of the message from in his aquarium office, Nando smiled widely maksa. 

“ Okay..” reply me

“ Want to buy Ice Cream? Let's smile, ugly manyun, friends are also a bit afraid from earlier want to invite you to talk” maybe actually Mr. Boss wants to negur yes, but the way is very subtle. But there's no way I'm standing at the FO counter with these puffy eyes and manyun faces. 

“ No, I permission here first yes, not in the future, not good as guest” replied me

“ Ok, in enakin first aja” replied Nando. 

I try to do my job on my desk alone, I make as busy as possible with some reports, but if you occasionally remember Dion, I take a deep breath, let's not cry. 

There's another incoming message on my HP

“ Wooyy not lunch??” This time it's Rishna

“ Skip first Sist, full again” Answer me a lie. Even though from dinner yesterday, I have not eaten anything, only water that goes back and forth I drink, make bloated. 

“ Wokgeeeh, later go home with me yes, we eat meatballs.” 

“ Can Sist, already have a helmet now Iuuuw” reply me, smiling. Yeah, maybe eating meatballs with Risna can make me laugh. Moreover, I really like Meatballs in this city. Unlike the meatballs in my town.

“ Oh yes? How can? Hahahahaaaa baeklah, akika eat first yes Sist” 

“ Ok “ 

I continued my work. No messages from Dion, no calls from his parents, and time passed. 

Nando came up to me as I was getting ready to go home. 

“ Home my nebeng? “ bargain. 

“ Gak, I have already promised Risna, want to eat meatballs first,, hahahhaaa, want to eat hot and spicy, delicious as it is, can relieve tightness in the chest” replied I dramatized. 

“ I can't come? Want to know the meatballs that go back and forth told me good until it is finished..” Nando replied dramatizing, with the expression of a poet, maybe let me laugh. 

“ Adaa aja, may, please Mr. Boss, tibutin from behind yes, I'm the same Risna riding a motorbike wearing a new helmet” I replied while winking .

I had no hesitation in bringing Nando along with me and Risna, because Nando and Risna were also very close, we often had lunch together with the accounting children. 

Nando followed me and Risna from behind. Risna and I chatted about the artist, about the people on the street, and laughed big together. Yes, fortunately there is Risna, I can for a moment forget about Dion. Although I can't tell you about my problem with Dion, but with Risna I'm quite relieved. 

Arriving at a simple meatball stall, but it was very tasty, I ordered meatballs and mixed ice. Dion and Risna also ordered the same. Not to forget I asked for additional fried meatballs that I just met in this city 1 portion. 

During the meal, I, Nando, and Risna only told me silly things that could make you laugh. 

Very long we chatted, fortunately not in the same expulsion that had Warung Bakso.

Need Mom…

The conversation ended, 'cause it was dusk, for some reason, Risna finally went straight home, and I got Nando to the boarding house. 

“ How? Need a story friend? “ Ask Nando

“ Not first, aq again lazy language, again lazy crying again, my chest tight, “ answered me. Even though it was very cool, a moment forgot Dion, now when heading to the boarding house, the chest began to tight again, imagining I would be alone later, definitely remembered again. 

“ Want to go home directly or someone wants to find first Bi?” Ask Nando again

Suddenly when Nando said “ Jump Home “ tears just came out, and cry again.

“ Uh, why Bi?” Nando panic asked, immediately marginalizing his car. 

“ I'm afraid at home crying again alone, so tight Ndo, I'm the same Dion while this break first, I'm relieved, but somehow kok sense his chest is tight reminiscent of Dion.” I'm getting sobbing. 

“ So how? Go home or what? “ 

“ I don't know,, aq want to cry...” 

“ How to do Bi ? “ Nando looks panicked and confused, while I still sobbing sobbing sobbing crying. 

The car went back, Nando didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, he just rubbed my hair. The car keeps running, it's been a long way if Nando really wants to drive me home. But I don't want to ask, because I can't think, it's up to Mr. Boss to take it anywhere, because honestly I don't want to cry myself in the room. There's a sense of wanting to go home to my city, see my mother, I'll tell you everything, because I'm an introvert, so I never talk about my personal problems to my friends. Just to Dion and Mom all this time. 

But, I'm afraid I'll come back to Dion, I'll lose. And I'll never go back to this city, and my career won't go the way I planned it before, like my dream. 

Ah, whether the road where this is, with Risna or with Nando himself, I have never once walked this area, left and right of the road is very low lighting, he said, but I saw not too many trees, just thatch, not many houses let alone buildings, winding roads, no sidewalks but hilly land. Wanted to ask, but somehow I didn't.
