I could barely sleep last night. My feelings are very unsettled.

I even called Hengky a few times just to ask when the morning came.

And I knew, without asking him, I knew the answer.

Oh, my God, there's no wall clock in your room, Naya?

I continued to curse myself who always bothered Hengky just to share my anxiety.

Shinta's words last night really freaked me out half to death.

How not? He said that he ran away from home and was hiding in his girlfriend Kosan.

I still remember what Shinta said last night,

“Please... help me... I'm scared, Naya... L'm... I ran away from home... Dad knows about my relationship with Fahri.”.

Shinta's voice whispered softly, as if she was hiding while calling me.

“My father was right. My father's benaarr... Fucking fahri, Nayaa..”.

And when I asked where Kosan Fahri was, a man's scream was heard yelling at Shinta and the phone call was cut off.

If you were me, would I be able to calm down right now?

And what makes me wonder is Hengky's attitude when he heard the news of Shinta.

I, who was very panicked, called Hengky, asked him to go to my room and then we were leaving that night looking for Shinta just answered, he said,

“Oh? The shinta? Relax, Naya.. later she will also go home alone..”.

“He's stuck, Honey! He doesn't know where he is at the moment.”.

“Just relax... trust me..” Yawning, Hengky ended his phone.

And this morning while Hengky was accompanying me to breakfast at a stall near Campus, he was grumbling all out because I complained my head was dizzy and nauseous from barely sleeping all night.

"Why do you have to get like this anyway? Look, if it's like this, you're the one who's having a hard time by yourself.?”.

I'm down. Hengky's right.

"We're going to get Shinta, Naya. But we need energy to think clearly when looking for Shinta. Besides I'm not sure Shinta's really stuck. Not that she can go alone to Kosan Fahri because she knows the address?”

“He doesn't know the address, honey. He's stuck unable to go home. I've told you many times, there was a male voice before the phone call was cut off last night”

Hengky took a pissed breath. He grumbled as he finished his breakfast.

“You're upset because I asked you to help make Shinta's nyari? Shinta my best friend, Hengky. I should be there when he's like this.”

“It wasn't you who pissed me off but Shinta. Ah, nevermind. Finish your meal and we'll pick up Shinta” soon

“Put up?”

“I know who Fahri is, Naya. Have you... You want us to waste time?”

I didn't answer. Hengky's words made me shut up. Again he was right.

...-----------------------------------------------------------...

When Hengky bought a large pack of snacks and soft drinks, I was busy asking him what he was buying that much for.

But when Hengky answered the name of the city we were going to visit made me speechless. Our trip was not short.

“Where did you know about Fahri, Darling?”

“He's Andy's friend. They're just the same. Equally jerk!” Hengky replied without taking his eyes off the steering screen.

“Can I ask?”

“Since when did I forbid you to ask?!”

I sighed,”Can you not answer my question gently without emotion?”

Hengky rubbed his face, he turned to me and smiled, “Sorry, Naya.. Yeah, what do you want, honey?”

“Why can your relationship be this bad with Andy? Aren't you guys so close first?”

For a moment Hengky was silent. He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly,

“The woman Andy abused, whom I told you about first, she is Maya.”

“What? Maya your first love?”

Hengky nodded slowly,

“I believe Andy can make Maya happy. But it turns out he ruined his life. Even worse, Andy accused Maya of seducing him. Less teaching indeed! How could such a cowardly man!”

I'm speechless.

Hengky is very emotional at the moment. Apparently he couldn't just release those memories from his memories.

Is it possible that her feelings for Maya still exist?

“No, dear...I don't have any feelings for Maya anymore.”.

I reflexively turned my head towards Hengky, rounding the eyes of disbelief, “Do you have any senses to the six?”

Hengky laughs. He rubbed my head with his left hand, “You're the only one, Naya. If you don't remind me yesterday, I even forgot that I once liked Maya”

“Naya and Maya, our names are similar, right?”

“Your faces are also similar”

“What?”

Again Hengky laughed to see my face pouting withstanding the annoyance. He knows that I don't like being with other people.

“Tuh, kaan.. let alone if again pout gini..”.

“Hengkyyyyy!!!”

...------------------------------------------------------------------...

We finally arrived. What an incredible journey. Seven hours on the way left me almost bored to death.

Many times we stopped by just for coffee and talked about the unimportant.

About today's weather, about the ongoing wars between countries, about the scarcity of basic needs of the community but the elite officials blame the people.

It's a very unimportant topic.

I don't know how many cups of coffee we drank today.

I glanced at the clock on my wrist, almost nine o'clock at night.

The two-story boarding building in front of me currently looks less managed.

Cream-coloured paint is almost invisible because most of it is already peeling off. And what makes me shudder is that the dim lighting adds a horror impression to this costan.

When Hengky asked me to come in, I was suffocated in shock by almost stepping on the dead rat that was lying just near the stairs to the second floor.

Don't ask how dirty this floor is. I know men are mostly less concerned about cleanliness, but this, Oh my God.

How can a human being live in such a dirty place?

The feeling of anxiety regains self-control. What about Shinta inside?

Is he okay?

Hengky banged on the third room from the end of the stairs. He repeatedly called Fahri.

There's no answer.

“Honey, maybe you got the wrong room?”

I asked as I began to doubt that this was the right room.

“See, Naya. There's a shoe rack and some sandals here. This room is exactly the same as it used to be.”

"Shintaa.. it's Akuu....! Don't be afraid, open the door, Taa.” I screamed while knocking on the door.

“Naya? Why are you here?”

Me and Hengky reflexively looked back, someone we knew very well was panting behind us. It looks like he's in such a hurry to get here.

“Andy?” My eyes were round in disbelief.

Hengky immediately pulled my body behind his back, “What the hell is this? Why are you here?!”

“I'm the one who's wondering why you're here?!” His face looks confused.

Hengky smiled cynically, he almost advanced towards Andy but I held his hand.

“We are looking for Shinta” I replied without looking at her.

“Shinta?? She here??”

“What?”

At the same time, Hengky and I looked at each other.

"I'm here because Fahri called. Said he needed help because someone wanted to kill him”

“Eh?” I'm getting confused.

Realizing that he has been deceived, Andy immediately goes ahead and bangs on Kosan Fahri's door. His face looked very upset.

“Woyy sialaaannn!! I drove nine hours here, damn it!! Open the dooraa or I dobraakk!!”

I reflexively retreated. Without me realizing my body was suddenly trembling. A cold feeling quickly spread throughout my body. My memory soon turned to the events of that afternoon, when Andy forced and threatened me. Hearing her screams was like raising a fear that was asleep inside.

“Honey? You why?” Hengky holds my hand, “Your face is pale..”.

I shook my head weakly, trying to take my mind off the shadow that afternoon,

“I’m Okay..”.

Andy was getting upset when the door didn't open. He shouted furiously and then pulled Hengky's hand,

“Help Sister. We broke this door!”

Perhaps due to the urgent atmosphere, Hengky did not protest as Andy called himself ‘Kakak’ and asked for his help to break down the door.

It was not difficult for them to open the door. With the height of Andy 185 cm and Hengky 189 cm along with their athletic body, it is easy.

When the door opened, I hurriedly ran into the room following Hengky and Andy who had entered first.

And when he entered the kitchen room, Hengky hurriedly pulled my hand and hugged me tightly,

“No, Naya. Don't look.”

The more Hengky said ‘jangan’ the more I thrashed asking to be let go.

“Sengky! Get Naya out of here!” Andy shouted loudly.

Seeing Hengky who was still trying to hold my body in his arms made Andy even more angry,

“By Tuhaan, Hengky! Lift Naya out of here!!”

“I want lihaattt!! Shintaa... Shintaaa!!! Release meuu!!!”

Hengky rubbed my head, his breath up and down withstanding the sadness that made me wonder what was going on here. My feelings are getting more uncertain.

I-i know. I knew something had happened to my best friend.

“I beg... I begannn... Sayangg..?”

Hengky took a deep breath, he stretched his embrace. I quickly lifted my body and turned around.

And when my eyes caught someone lying in front of me, my knees suddenly went limp, tears suddenly came out and I unconsciously ran forward but was blocked by Hengky.

Nooo... Nooo... This can't happen....

“Shintaaa!!! Nooo....!!! Shintaaa!!!”
