\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
This morning Manda was already at Soekarno Hatta Airport to leave for Japan. He sat in the waiting room chair and opened up some of his social media. Suddenly a message came into his phone.
OHHEY!
HAGA: "I MISS YOU!"
Manda just read it then took a deep breath and hurriedly turned off his phone.
"Yeah, Kevin's been waiting there." point Habibi to the entrance that is already crowded filled with people who will also enter the plane to Japan like them.
For about 6 hours they were on the plane, finally the plane landed at Tokyo International Airport.
Manda, Kevin and Habibi walk to the exit to find the invitation that Andre had prepared for them. Habibi does not work in Andre's Office, and Habibi's arrival with Manda is solely to accompany Manda while in Japan. Amon will soon appear, so surely he will more intensely tell his men to tease Manda. Yesterday there might be Abadon, tomorrow I don't know who else is coming.
From a distance, the nameplate reads "Manda and Kevin from Indonesia" , The three of them finally approached the old man they had known before.
"Omm John?" pekik Kevin sumringah then ran small and immediately hugged the sturdy man in an expensive suit who was standing alone with some men with black glasses around him.
"How are you guys? Healthy right?" greet Om John then looked at them one by one.
"Alhamdulillah Om. How about yourself?" reply Manda while shaking hands with Om John.
"Yes beginillah." said Om John while widening his hands to the side.
"More handsome aja Om" praised Habibi and hugged Om John tightly.
"Whoa. You can do it, Bib. You are also getting better. Similar to Koko when young." funny Om John accompanied by a light laugh with his distinctive style.
"Yes, um, like Mr. Koko. Lah wong his father." said Kevin relaxed.
Habibi is just a whiny.
"Om here to pick us up?" ask Manda again.
"Yes that. Who else would you like to pick up, try? Yuk, we go to the house." take Om John and walk first to the car.
"Np ... They ...?" whispered Kevin as he glanced at the people who kept following them.
"What's okay. They're my people." he replied casually.
By driving a luxury car, Om John who is none other than the father of Andre diligently drives his own car and brings the four of them back to the Lee family residence in the suburbs of Tokyo.
"Welcome to my house." said Om John warmly.
Traditional Japanese houses appear in front of them as they get out of the car.
There is a protective wall of the house with concrete blocks surrounding it, in front of the door there is a signboard with kanji and ordinary Latin writing.
"JOHNSON LEE"
Andre's parents are of Japanese descent. Father Om John, who is none other than Andre's grandfather was a Japanese man who married his grandmother who came from Java. Grandpa and Grandma Andre from her Mother's family are also Japanese citizens. However, Aunt Ayumi is already very fluent in Indonesian and is more often in Indonesia, as it is now.
Upon entering the courtyard of this house, they were treated to views of the garden full of cherry blossoms and Ume/Plum. A spacious ceramic roof, making it look as if it were in Japanese-themed films that are often on TV. When opening the entrance there is a genkan which is a place for people to replace outdoor shoes with sandals/slippers. Remember the house in the doraemon movie if you see genkan here.
"Auntie where, Om?" ask Manda confused.
"Go back to Indonesia. Maybe next week I'll be back here again. Andre's out of town again, most new mallem nyampe home. So you guys just relax first. Consider it your own home. I'll stay first." Said John and left them.
The three of them went into their respective rooms and rested for a moment.
Minutes later, Manda exits the room and walks out of the house alone, unbeknownst to Kevin and Habibi.
His face was slightly wrinkled, just after Manda reached Tokyo, Haga again sent him a short message.
"I NEED YOU!"
And back Manda didn't reply to him. But his heart kept on raging. His mind continued to glare far away, to the place where Haga was. He remembers events after events and his memories with Haga. Tight chest. He cursed himself who foolishly left Haga without saying goodbye. Sometimes his childish nature does often appear and make him behave like a girl who sulks because her toys are lost. And the only way is to be alone. That was what he used to do if his mind was in a state of turmoil, his heart was raging and if his mood worsened.
But at the corner of his tail, he felt being followed.
Japan is a beautiful but foreign place for her. Several times seen cherry blossoms bloom on the right and left side of the road that passed by Manda. Luckily, he arrived when spring came. Spring gives its own energy to start something new and is the most eagerly awaited season. For a few moments Manda was too comfortable to just enjoy the view of the cherry blossoms that were first seen directly. After tired of circling the streets of Tokyo, Manda's stomach has started to protest for fill. Several times he went in and out of the restaurant just to find a halal restaurant. Until he arrived at a kosher-certified ramen shop.
He immediately entered, but when it was in the restaurant, apparently the restaurant was quite crowded visitors. Circulated his gaze around looking for an empty chair, he arrived at an empty table in the corner of the restaurant. Manda also walked with a rather accelerated pace to immediately master the table. The hunger began to completely eat away at his stomach. Just as he was about to sit down, arrived the chair he was holding was also pulled by someone. Even some white people are around him.
"GUE FIRST! SO ELO MOVE ON NOW!" a man who is no stranger to him.
"ELO?!" meek Manda while glaring at the man before her now.
"Why? Ordinary times his reaction. Or don't - don't miss Elo as much as I do. Hayo ngaku..," joked the man.
"NAJIS! Cih...," exclaimed Manda as if spitting on his side.
"What did Loe say?" asked the man and slowly approached him.
"Why? And wonder I. Why meet a bastard like Elo here? Yes Ben ... I think Elo's hobby is I keep going!" sindir Manda cynical.
"So big a girl! Why did I follow Elo? IMPORTANT HUH?" asked Beni in her pretentious style.
"NOBODY OF BEGO! ELO FOLLOWED ME FROM EARLIER RIGHT?!" snapped Manda then grabbed Beni's collar.
Suddenly Beni pulled Manda's waist until her body was easily in Beni's arms now. Manda also immediately pushed Beni strong. However, his strength was unable to make him escape from Beni's embrace. "REMOVE !!" shout Manda.
Arrive ...
BUUG!
Someone pulled Beni's body until Manda detached from it and landed a raw bogem in his molars.
"ASSHOOK!!" Bump Beni with a mouth that bleeds blood.
The man did not care about Beni who continued to curse. He even walked closer to Manda. Manda came - until he saw the man.
"Are you okay, Ai?" her question then reached out to help Manda stand up.
"YOU ..," cried Manda with a confused look.
But Haga only showed a smile while continuing to look at Manda in front of him.
There was happiness, sadness, relief, all mixed into one when Manda saw Haga in front of him now.
