...People say the first meeting is always a coincidence, but how do you explain the next meeting? ...

...Is God involved in it? ...

...~Orizuka~...

This morning, Manda was ready with all her luggage. Starting from a few pieces of clothing, sandals, shoes, laptops, and some books that he always read in his spare time.

"Udah all seems. Moreover, yes, less," he muttered as he stared at the suitcase he was about to bring to Medan.

The sound of car horns is heard. Until finally managed to make Manda switch to staring at the window of his room. Out there, Kevin was already waiting with sunglasses perched on his nose.

"BONAFR ... A BURUAAAAN! LATE LATER KITAAA! " he shouted while glancing at the watch.

Manda gave a loud snort and immediately closed the suitcase and pulled it out of the room. Kevin's arrival was quite surprising, especially with his attitude that rushed, making Manda become hasty.

"Bawel yes. It's also just this hour. I shouted - shouted. It won't be too late, Vin!" gerrutu annoyed.

"Hunger me, Man. Breakfast first. Do you cook? Numpang ate deh," he whined while continuing to hold the stomach with a glare.

"Not cooked me. Eat at the airport. What warteg later on the road," said Manda while putting her suitcase into Kevin's car.

Before long Mr. Budi got off the steering wheel and helped Manda. Budi is Kevin's driver.

"Let's go, Ma'am," said Mr. Budi while taking over the suitcase carried by Manda.

"Eh, Mr. Budi, Thank you .." said Manda sungkan.

"It's okay. Mbak Manda just come in," said Mr. Budi.

Manda got into the car no matter Kevin who was still whining about hunger outside.

Arriving at the airport, they immediately look for the nearest cafe, and immediately breakfast while waiting for Vita who never came.

"Hi ..," said Vita so until the cafe where Manda and Kevin are.

"Breakfast first, Vit," said Manda.

"Udah dong was at home. Uh, what time do we leave?"

"An hour's left."

"Oh, okay, okay."

After finishing breakfast, they immediately boarding, because soon the plane will leave for Medan.

On the plane, Manda's heart was a little troubled. The field reminded him of someone in his past.

HAGANA

A man he knew before. The man she loved from the beginning they met until this very moment. They met by air, with the hobby of Manda who likes to write, made them meet in a virtual world forum, which is one of the largest forums in Indonesia. Haga is a man who is much younger than Manda. But Manda always feels comfortable if near him. They had a long LDR relationship.

At first Haga was always faithful to read Manda's writings. Because of Manda's hobby of writing stories. Until they exchanged phone numbers and became more familiar.

Eventually their intimacy grew closer. Often venting, chatting, chatting, even calling all night they often do. Until Haga expresses her feelings to Manda. And Manda welcomed him with open arms. Since Manda split up with her ex-husband, she has not been able to open her heart to other men. But the presence of Haga is able to melt all negative thoughts against men. Comfortable with Haga. And over the course of a few months they have been in a long-distance relationship, and their relationship has become even closer. However, a year later, they were forced to separate because Haga was betrothed to the woman of her parents' choice. Though they are serious about this relationship, no matter the difference in age, status, even distance. Haga is able to accept Manda's condition sincerely and as it is. Even Haga intended to meet Manda back then. But apparently fate says something else. Their love must run aground in the middle of the road. Like the story of other teenagers who live long distance relationships. It seems like a long distance relationship, has many flaws.

Until now Manda's feelings have never changed one bit. He still loves Haga as he used to. Even if they are no longer together, and do not communicate as usual, but all the memories that Haga left behind, are still stored neatly in the memory of his brain, heart and mobile phone. I don't know how many recordings of Haga's voice are still on Manda's phone. Photographs of even all the poems they made together are still in the account owned by Manda who was used together by the two of them until now. And if the longing struck, Manda always re-read the writing of both of them. Haga is also a writer but her writing is only aimed at a Manda. I don't know how many poems he gave Manda.

And now Manda will set foot in that city. Haga's hometown. There is a little bit of a rush in Manda's mind to be able to find Haga. He missed, really missed. But Manda doesn't know Haga's address. Finally he buried it deep in the hope of meeting Haga. Very large city terrain. Is it possible that they could meet accidentally?

The plane landed at Kuala Namu Airport. As he got off the plane, Manda paused for a moment while taking a deep breath.

Hm.. Terrain. I can finally get here too. His mind was laced with a faint smile on his face.

Someone has been waiting for them since.

ANDRE!

He waved to Manda, Kevin and Vita with a faint smile.

"Where? Smooth, right? her flight?" asked Andre while hugging them one by one.

"Alhamdulillah, Boss. Safe under control."

"You're alone, Ndre?" ask Manda while wailing.

"Yes is ... Same as the driver. Go to the car, it's noon. Go straight to the new office," Andre said.

During their few minutes in the car, Andre explained how the new office was, and what they had to do while here.

"Well that. We've arrived," point Andre to a multi-storey building in front.

After they disembarked, Manda immediately grabbed her phone as there were some incoming messages. Although his eyes focused on the phone screen, but his feet continued to follow his friend walking.

Until the moment they entered the building, there were already some people who welcomed them.

"Welcome Mr. Andre and friends," said a bald-headed old man.

Manda only glances at those who are there, as she is still focused on some WA messages from friends and relatives.

The old man was the manager in charge of this office. He then introduced the employees who were here one by one. Manda didn't pay much attention, because she thought it wasn't important to her.

Until, when the last person introduced himself ...

"I, Hagana Putra Siregar, just call Haga" said a familiar voice in Manda's ear.

As a result, Manda who was initially indifferent to the person before him, finally turned to look at the owner of the voice just now.

His eyes were wide, his heart was racing, his hands were trembling and slightly wet with sweat that had suddenly appeared. The body is even hot cold not because of it.

This face ... He's still very memorized. This voice, he still knew her very well. He had just heard it while he was still on the plane. Haga's voice recording always he listened to over and over again without getting bored when he felt missed the man's figure. And now, the man she missed was already in front of her eyes.

Haga looked at Manda inside. His eyes were glassy and his lips trembled withstanding the overflow of feelings that had been held back.

The phone has slipped out of Manda's grasp when she is absolutely certain, that it is her Haga. Haga who knew him first. The Haga he loved to this day, the Haga he had always longed for even to the point of making his cry break instantly if he remembered it.

The man is in front of him.

"Who? Man's? Why?"kevin asked as he continued to look at Manda in astonishment.

Manda returned to his consciousness that had been lost for a moment because of Haga, then immediately took the phone that he dropped earlier.

"What is it. I'm just a laper once well, hehe" elak Manda.

Everyone stared at the two of them, Andre continued his sentence.

"And the three of them are my confidants, Kevin Pratama, this is Vita Azkia and that one," Andre pointed to Manda who was on the other end, "Amanda Rhea."

Ai, is that really you? I miss you, Ai. Really kangen. Inner Haga while continuing to stare at Manda without a blink.

Ai is Haga's affectionate call to Manda, taken from Japanese. Which means dear.

On the other hand, Manda felt the same way.

Bee, is that you? Really you? Finally met too. I'm kangen.

Bee also calls Manda's affection for Haga.

After that brief introduction, all returned upstairs, struggling with their respective jobs. Still with a feeling of unease between the two lovebirds earlier. But they still have to be professional, and the same as continuing their respective work.

Manda did not expect that the thing he had imagined since, was in plain sight. He really met Haga. Someone she desperately wanted to meet more than anyone else. But he realized that their condition was no longer the same as before. So Manda also tried to maintain the attitude. He will behave naturally, trying to dampen his own feelings. Well, he should have done that a long time ago. Since Haga left her and married another woman her parents chose.
