In an apartment in New York City…
Jeff and Tyo are two of Ryan's colleagues who live in one apartment with the guy. Both are nightclub fans. Every day they talk about the thrill of life at the club to get rid of their fatigue after struggling with a pile of schoolwork first. At first Ryan just listened without enthusiasm, he remembered how papa educated him and there was never any desire to try the night life.
“Jeff...How about this weekend we go to a nightclub near our apartment?”tanya Tyo as if heating up Ryan to try to feel how delicious nightlife is.
“Bby aja. But what about our friend this one?”jeff asked as he showed his thumbs towards Ryan who was silent staring at his phone.
“If he doesn't want to follow. Yes we just stay,”seru Tyo while melengos.
Ryan left the two of them laughing while talking about the seductive young women at the club. Ryan opened his laptop and repeated the matriculation he received this afternoon. The hour hand indicates nine o'clock at night, meaning that in Indonesia it is nine in the morning.
“Maya must be in college. Can not be called,”batin Ryan while surfing the internet looking for saturated repellent entertainment.
Guys feel their relationship is a little different since college is far apart, the time is not the same becomes an obstacle for both to communicate directly. Only messages through whatssup can be a cure for both of them to send news to each other through photos, videos or voice messages.
Tonight this Sunday will be like the previous lonely nights. Ryan stared at the ceiling of his room which was pure white. He walked towards the door and turned off the light switch and replaced it with a small sleeping light that was on top of his bedside nightstand. Ryan recalled two years of High School that used to be so beautiful with Maya. It was in her mind how Maya's kind and patient attitude taught her to be an avid student and to be constantly eager to learn. Her pretty face is without polish, her pure white skin and dimples always remind Ryan of the girl.
“Duh….I've never tried to run using my power from America to Indonesia without an airplane,”gumamnya clever.
Ryan realized he was becoming more and more a pure human being, his fondness for red milk almost faded because papa was too busy with his business and had not sent the milk at all since he studied here. The guy realizes his strength is not what it used to be, he is getting normal to be human as in general.
Jeff and Tyo look dashing in trendy clothes with world-class leading labels. Tonight this Sunday they will be dugem in a nightclub not far from the apartment where the three live.
“Come on Ryan..Once you come with us. Gausah follow mabok! Drinking mineral water alone is okay,” said Tyo while glancing at Jeff.
Jeff, who is a mature man wearing all black clothes, is the son of a famous politician in Indonesia. His brother is a famous artist in Indonesia so that the night world is not a foreign thing to him. While Tyo is the only son of a career woman whose business runs branches around the world. His father was a businessman who had married a woman who was half his age. Automatically the lives of his busy parents and his broken home, making Tyo very close to the night life as a tranquilizer. He had studied in Indonesia but got drug cases so in-DO. Tyo had undergone a rehabilitation period for 1 full year before being transferred to college in America. Ryan sometimes shudder to listen to the story of Tyo's past, he has promised in front of papa to stay away from alcohol and cigarettes let alone drugs. Papa's message is so that Ryan can maintain the dignity of his family and business, especially social and personal health while in the country of people.
Ryan just melengos, but at the bottom of his heart he felt lonely and wanted to just see life in the night club.Finally Ryan nodded in agreement even though his little heart refused.
Entering the frenetic and dimly lit nightclub, Ryan's gaze less clearly observes his surroundings. He was greeted by a drunken bule man carrying a bottle, the man shied away in fear of the man scolding and raging. Ryan gave him a way to pass freely. Two policemen escorted him out of the club to avoid troublemaking.
“Udah don't be watched! Later he even rampaged, you know,”tegur Tyo while pulling Ryan's hand to sit and offer him a drink.
“Oh..Sorry.I don't like booze,”reject Ryan while sticking his back and observing the surroundings.
“Come...Little! This is America, not Indonesia. Alcohol to repel the cold, ”tajak Jeff while highlighting the drink Mc Callan in a small size shot glass.
Ryan accepted it and pretended to drink it a little, so that his two friends could keep quiet. He was sure that his two colleagues would impose their will if he refused their call, so Ryan had a reason to pretend to be the middle way solution.
The view spread throughout the room at the nightclub. Many striped om-om people enjoy their drinks surrounded by many young women with fun makeup and skimpy clothes. House music sings with a thunderclap makes some couples go down to the floor and fun to sway. A young white woman with a bule face and blonde hair approached him. The miniskirt is tightly attached showing its large hips, while the tank top shows its cleavage puffed up like a mountain. Ryan closed his eyes to not be tempted by the sight before him. The girl offered him a drink, Ryan gently brushed her aside and moved away, but the girl was getting more and more aggressive towards him. Tyo and Jeff laughed.
“Udah. Above is the room!”yelled Tyo while showing his index finger to some of the rooms in the attic.
Ryan was angry and pushed the girl who almost fell to the table. Jeff was dumbstruck and hurriedly caught the body of the girl. Now the girl in her arms, she laughs with joy at Jeff's pretty handsome face. The girl seemed to be in a drunken state, she hugged Jeff and kissed him in a row. Ryan became sick of seeing the scenery in front of him, especially the frenetic sound of binger making his ears deaf. Not to mention the cigarette smoke made him cough up to several times, his chest a little tight. Ryan felt his face start to heat up, he started to get angry. With his left hand clenched, the index finger of his right hand was moved to warn his two comrades.
“Stop yes! From now on don't bring me here again! Or I'll move apartments!”ryan exclaimed as he left the place.
Tyo chases after her and persuades her to return to the seat but Ryan pushes her. The guy ran out, making some other visitors astonished. Ryan continued to run down the sidewalk and his steps came to a halt when he saw a huge, luminous star dotting the night sky. His chin was raised up, his gaze fixed on the direction of the star that had stopped in a hallway behind his apartment. Ryan followed the direction of the star's fall.
“Papa?”shocks surprised.
“Ya..Papa know you must be in big trouble so papa come here.”
