“Good work.” Someone patted Raka on the shoulder who was seriously staring at her computer screen.
“Papah.” Raka immediately turned around when she noticed Wira standing beside her.
“Continue your work, papah just came to visit.” Wira said while looking at his work room that has been a lot of changes.
Raka and her tastes are different. But the current change, Wira also likes it.
“Papah instead of doctor consul schedule today?”
“Yes, this is coming home from the hospital and stopping by here for a while. How, everything is smooth?”
Wira opens the files on Raka's desk.
“Everything smoothly pah, thanks to guidance om rudy.”
“Then when can papah introduce you to all the workers here?”
The hero sat in front of Raka and looked at her seriously. Raka exhaled violently and leaned back her tired body.
“Wait Raka really able to lead this company ya pah. After all, Raka's thesis has not been completed, must be finished first can be calm.” Bright Raka while looking at the spacious ceiling of his room.
“Okey... But remember, dashing papah can wait a long time.”
Wira pats Raka on the shoulder and leaves the room where she used to lead Adiyaksa Corp. Raka just nods, his head feels dizzy learning all about his company which is currently a lot of setbacks since he was handed over to professional management.
Wira is not as young as before, his health condition was disrupted. When Raka saw more in the condition of his company, it turned out that there were many things left behind compared to other companies. Management only runs the wheels of a makeshift company without any updates to develop the company. That was what had been troubling Raka's mind all along. There was no way he would let the hard-earned company set up by his late grandfather, crumble just like that.

Lembayung afternoon began to flutter making the sky orange. Some of Reva's co-workers had gone home first and Reveapun's work was almost done. He sees the computer on Raka's desk still on but Raka has never returned to her desk since.
Reva took out a piece of sticky note paper and started writing something down there.
“Gue home first.” Write the Reva that he pasted on the edge of Raka's monitor.
Reva also saw the phone, there was no message from Raka. Only a few messages from the beetles led her to meet, but Reva ignored them. Reva breathed out violently, tired today for Reva with a stack of tasks she had just completed.
Reva tidied up her desk and rushed home. He looked at Raka's desk which remained neat and a moment later he decided to go home.
At a stop not far from his office, Reva waited for the city bus to take him home. He stood up as the blue bus stopped in front of him. The passengers were quite a lot, but thank God he was still able to sit down. To get rid of his loneliness, Reva put on a headset and turned back the jokester Raditya Dika.
While the ears filled with Raditya Dika's voice, Reva's mind glared somewhere. He looked at the empty chair beside him and smiled. I don't know why he feels lonely when usually he is alone. His mind recalled the Raka he had left and suddenly his head hurt.
“Haiisshh... dizzy really..” muttered Reva while holding his head.
He took the water in his bag and gulped it several times. It feels fresher and slightly reduces the dizziness.
****
The bus stops right in front of Reva's boarding house. He immediately went in and rested his tired body. He lay on the bed with his shoes still wrapped around his feet.
“Aduh lemes really anyway..” lamented Reva who tried to uphold his body.
He tilted his head to the left and right and then massaged his shoulder that felt sore. Before long, he immediately went to the bathroom to clean his body.
There wasn't much time that Reva used to cleanse her body. A pajama wrapped around Reva's slender body, her wet hair rolled up inside a towel. He was sitting cross-legged in front of the dressing table as well as his work desk, his face really looks tired.
Reva looked at her face reflected in the mirror in an instant Raka's shadow appeared before her. I don't know why he felt so lost to Raka today. Reva shook her head, trying to expel Raka from her thoughts.
“Keep chatting what, kok sampe gag know about him?”
Tita's question this afternoon turned around in Reva's head. Yeah, what were they talking about the two of you? Reva began to realize, this time he told more and did not know anything about his interlocutor. What Reva has in mind at the moment, Raka has always been by her side lately, but about Raka, there is nothing she knows other than as a transfer student from abroad.
“Gue how to be like this?!! Why should I think of Raka? Why should I lose?”
Reva cursed herself while scrambling her half-dry hair. He felt like he didn't really recognize himself.

Late at night, Raka just arrived at her apartment. His body felt crumpled. He threw his jacket and dropped his body onto the sofa. His face was straightened with his eyes closed. How much weight did he spend.
Raka took a glass of water from the fridge. His jaw moved up and down as a cold stream of water washed down his throat. His body really wants a rest. With a shunt step, he went to his room and laid his body on the bed.
His eyes looked at the photo before him. A picture of him with a little girl he used to call Lana.
“Hay, how are you doing today?” said Raka who began to rise and stand facing the photo. His lips curled up a meaningful smile.
I don't know how long he hasn't talked to the girl he always misses.
“Kak Raka.... Brother is home?!” lana greeted him at the door.
“Lana wait brother home. Said mamah kak Raka came home rather malem so Lana waitin.” Sahut the girl with a big smile that shows her toothless tooth.
“Yes, let's go in! Brother already laper, want to eat.” Said Raka while pulling Lana's hand.
“Okey, let's eat. Today Lana cook with mamah loh.” Excited Lana who jumped small to the dining table with excitement.
“Oh yes, let's try the meal.” Sahut Raka's.
The two began to sit at the table. Raka and Lana flipped the plate in spirit.
“Kak Raka want to eat what?”
“This, this and that.” Raka guided the food she chose.
“Okey!”
With the spirit of Lana take the food Raka chose. Raka began to devour her food quickly. Lana just looked at him.
“Lana gag eat?” raka's attention turned to the little girl who was looking at her with a smile. This time he nodded. “You want fried chicken?” Raka feeds her fried chicken to Lana.
“Whatever, the important use rice.” Tukas Lana's. Raka just smiled. He fed Lana with pleasure.
For a moment his mind floated on Reva's figure. He scratched his head though it didn't itch. His heart was pounding erratically.

“Ting keg!”
Raka's daydreams fell apart instantly when the sound of her apartment bell rang. She lazily opened the door for her guests.
“Yo bro!” fery exclaimed with a funny smile.
Raka did not answer him, he dropped his body on the sofa.
“Why are you so tangled?”
Fery sat down on the side of Raka and took some peas from inside the jar.
“Pusing me!” grunting Raka while ruffling her hair violently.
“Craftsmanship?”
“Hem.. Gag company condition is too good. I'm just as bokap you're starting to get overwhelmed. Must find investors for multiple projects.” Bright Raka while massaging the base of her nose that feels tired.
“Iya, I also said, if some cluster housing projects should start in the streets, because the interest is quite a lot.”
Seen a thin smile on Raka's lips when he heard the cluster housing.
“Why do you smile?”
“That's Reva's hard work. He managed 8 houses in cluster 1 and 13 houses in cluster 2.” Remember Raka with a smile.
“Lo's oath? Crazy cool really!” ferry with round eyes.
“Lo tau, he nawarin home already like nawarin food. As if he knew the taste of food, fit in what love, for whom , anyway complete. Gag I've imagined before he could be like that. How to say, beeuhhh... interesting indeed” Bright Raka with pride.
Fery smiled. Just this time Raka was so enthusiastic about telling a woman.
“Lo, really have the same taste he?” fery asked suddenly. Raka just looked over, then fell silent. “Gue tau, gag there are girls who can make you this seseneng besides, Lana. But you also look out for seneng if you discuss Reva.” Fery said with a wry smile.
Raka just fell silent, Fery's question felt so tickling to his heart.
“Nyokap lo call me. He asked me to help find a gold shop that might receive someone selling this.”
Fery showed me a photograph. Raka glanced at the photo. The look on his face changed instantly when he saw a photo of a ring with a ruby in the middle. He knew whose ring belonged to him.
“Lo meet the man?” ask Raka immediately.
Fery nodded. “Which sold a scavenger about 15 years ago. But I look to his house, he has died” explained Fery with full regret.
Raka exhaled violently. He looked at the photo and the little fingers where the ring was embedded.
“Udah these few days, nyokap I often daydream alone while looking at Lana's photo. Sometimes he also cries. I think, maybe he again miss Lana but I gag nyang if he still hopes Lana is still alive.” Raka said with a heavy voice.
“Nyokap lo says, he will always assume Lana is still alive, before he managed to find the body or his tombstone Lana.” Light Fery with great emphasis.
Raka just bowed. The departure of the girl who is so dear to Niken, it turns out they can not just forget it. Lana's departure completely changed their lives.
