The Agent's Shadow Bed

The Agent's Shadow Bed
Cannot Be Remedied


That afternoon Emira was sitting watching television in Dara's room. While accompanying Dara, he while looking for entertainment by watching a ball game. Dara sat down next to Emira and leaned her head on him.


"Emira do you like watching football games?" ask Dara. Watching Dara was so enthusiastic watching the ball game.


"Yes," replied Emira.


"Usually women like to watch soap operas or romantic movies" said Dara.


"I don't like things that are romantic Dara, less challenging that," said Emira. Emira has always preferred challenging things. He doesn't like anything that women in general like. None of his clothes were pink. Everything is dark.


"You really are a tomboyish girl, yes" said Dara.


"Yes like that" said Emira.


Dara noticed Emira's long hair that was always tied back. Her hair is long.


"Emira here I comb your hair," Dara pinta.


"OK, if it makes you happy" said Emira.


Dara combed Emira's long hair. The hair is black and beautiful. None are branching. Beautiful and soft.


"Emira your hair is nice, long and beautiful" Dara said.


"really? though I rarely take care of it" said Emira. She is not a woman who used to take care of hair, care in a salon, or use anything to beautify her hair. Emira lets her hair grow out of it, just shampooing in the shower, that's all.


"You're a tomboy but why is your hair long? usually the tomboy chick is identical to short hair?" ask Dara. Most tomboy girls have short hair. But not Emira, her hair is long to her waist.


"There was someone who praised my pretty long hair back then, from then on I kept my long hair" Emira replied.


"Oh so," said Dara. She continued to comb Emira's hair and tie her hair. Dara is happy to be with Emira, her days are not lonely anymore. A friend accompanied him.

Alzam is still out of town. He had just been monitoring the newly inaugurated hotel. He went around accompanied by the hotel manager named Bima Satria. They walk from one floor to another to make sure everything is okay and comfortable for visitors.


"Is all the elevators in operation?" ask Alzam.


"Have been the boss" replied Bima.


"Make sure it works well" Alzam said.


"Good Boss," said Bima.


Alzam continued walking with Bima. Some employees greeted him. Alzam returned their greeting. He is a kind and friendly boss. Besides that handsome. Make the woman melt every time she sees it.


"It's so nice to be the owner of this hotel."


"Yes, it's been so kind and friendly, so dreamy."


"If only he was my soul mate."


"Udah has a wife."


"Well, just ngarep."


Alzam has always been the subject of his work. Not infrequently someone gives attention and teases him. Fortunately, Alzam's heart was already there. Even though Dara is sick, her love never changes for her.


After you have finished monitoring the hotel. Alzam returned to his hotel room. He stood in front of the glass window. Calling Dara while enjoying the view of the city seen in the glass window.


"Assalamu'alaikum" said Alzam.


"Wa'alaikumsallam" said Dara.


"Darling this afternoon I can't go home yet, my business here isn't done yet. Maybe tomorrow afternoon I'll go home" said Alzam.


"It's okay Mas, the important thing is you don't forget to eat and rest. Take care of your health, I'm waiting for your return home" said Dara.


"Dear, you also do not forget to eat, take medicine and rest, yes" said Alzam.


"Yes Mas" said Dara.


When it was finished, Dara hung up, she actually missed Alzam but how else, business matters are also important for the continuity of her company.

Emira was sitting on the front porch, she was enjoying the fresh air outside. A day at home bored him. Soon a car came into the big house. The car was Dara's new private car serviced from the workshop. Emira just caught a glimpse of it. Suddenly Auntie Nur approached her.


"Miss Emira" said Bibi Nur.


"What's wrong Bi?" ask Emira.


"Today's Mrs Dara's schedule to check up, because Mr. Alzam hasn't come home yet will Miss Emira take Mrs Dara to the hospital?" ask Bibi Nur.


"Thank you Miss Emira" said Bibi Nur.


"Together" said Emira.


Immediately Emira went inside the house. He goes upstairs, goes to Dara's room, Emira sees Dara looking sad. He approached Dara who was sitting in a wheelchair.


"Well what's wrong? why do you look sad?" ask Emira.


"Alzam did not come home today" said Dara.


"You miss Alzam, don't you?" ask Emira.


Dara nodded.


Emira can feel Dara's longing for Alzam. Perhaps due to Alzam's busyness, Dara is often lonely. But if Alzam does not work, the cost of treating Dara is also not small. In addition, the fate of thousands of employees who work must be fought for Alzam. As a leader he should be able to protect his subordinates.


"Prophetically yes Dara, later if Alzam's business affairs are finished, it must be home" said Emira.


"Didn't you miss Alzam?" ask Dara.


Emira remained silent. The truth is he must miss Alzam who is not who he is.


"Yes, I miss Alzam too" replied Emira.


"You newlyweds, you're supposed to be on your honeymoon, but you're taking care of me" Dara said.


"I'm happy to take care of you, so you don't have to worry" said Emira.


"Thank you Emira" said Dara.


Emira nodded.


"Today's your schedule for check-ups, how about we go to the flower garden before we go to the hospital?" ask Emira. He wanted to comfort Dara so as not to be sad anymore. Maybe with the streets Dara will be happy and entertained.


"Go to the flower garden?" ask Dara.


"Yes" replied Emira.


"I want to" said Dara


"Okay, let's go!" emira.


Dara nodded.


Emira pushes on the wheelchair that Dara rides. They went down to the ground floor by taking the elevator in the house. Out of the house ride Dara's private car.


Emira drives the car herself, while Dara sits next to her. Car driving on the highway. Dara was so happy to enjoy the view outside. He was always in the house. Going outside like this was rare for him.


"You like Dara?" ask Emira.


"I like it" replied Dara.


"Open the glass, you can see it more clearly and breathe the air of freedom" Emira said.


Dara nodded. Lower the windshield of the car next to it. Sure enough he could see anything clearly, breathing the air of freedom.


"How's it?" ask Emira.


"It's fun" Dara replied.


"We will often go for a walk, so you do not get bored at home" said Emira.


"Thank you, Emira" said Dara.


Emira nodded.


The car was traveling across the highway, Emira reduced the speed of the car. He tried to brake his car when passing the down road but the brakes did not work, the car still drove fast. Emira felt the car brakes were blong. Once again he made sure, tried to brake him but could not, the car continued to go unstoppable.


"Emira why the car?" ask Dara.


"The brakes are Dara's blong" replied Emira.


"But this morning just got serviced to the workshop," Dara argued.


"Yes I know, but now we have to find a way to make us safe" said Emira.


"Emira, how is this?" ask Dara to panic.


"Relax Dara, I was thinking, you don't have to worry. We will get out of this car safely no matter what," Emira said. He was sure he could get out of the car safely. In her life she had already faced many dangers, Emira was confident that she could deal with all of this well.
