The End of Hope
Eps 71's. Perceiver

Naya turned her head to see who had reprimanded her and offered to help her. At that time, he was really done with the work of cleaning his house. And Naya saw Rama standing with both hands folded on his belly. He wears a regular T-shirt and shorts, his appearance this time looking very different to when they met on the train a few days ago. At that time Rama looked very neat and fashionable, but now he looks like a person who has not bathed.

"Eh, you...Rama right? isn't that right, Rama?" naya said with a big smile.

Rama grunted softly realizing he was forgotten. He replied,

"Yes, I'm Rama." then he quotes a song while saying,

"I want amnesia...So you're pretending to be Amnesiac? Is it good in Lupain? I just remember your name Nayana."

The deg! naya's heart beat louder the words 'Good light in the lupain' that came out of Rama's mouth slightly offended her, for indeed she was once forgotten by someone, forgotten in a painful way, even in front of himself.

Before leaving, Naya saw her room, felt her bed, where herself and her husband shared a sweat together, surrounded her house, even took a walk in the places she had been through with Rudian, in the end, he really did. Now hearing people say the word forgotten, is like plucking out memories that have not been completely lost from memory.

"Ak, yes. Being forgotten is bad, indeed" said Naya, sitting in a worn-out old chair on the porch of her home.

Then he asked, "Which house are you in?"

"Not knowing anyway? My feelings go down first, before you," Rama said again during his first meeting on the train.

"Oh yeah?" she said, "I'm sorry I forgot."

"Actually you're young, but you're already forgetful? what a pity," said Rama while shaking his head.

Naya Jengah with this man. He considers himself familiar and close to Naya. Though according to Naya the age of this man is a little younger than himself, after all they have only met twice this time.

"I live there" said Rama, pointing to a place not far from Naya's house.

" Oh," that's just Naya's response,

"Are you alone in there?" ask Naya again.

Rama is seen raising both eyebrows, he concluded that now Naya seemed to be interested in him visible from his questions that began to ask about his personal matters.

"If I'm alone, you want my friend, right? You're on your own, too...?" rama said with a big smile.

Naya furrowed her brows She did not expect to get such a question. Here is a new place for him and he must really take care of himself, surely many people think that women his age is not a woman who has never been married. He hesitated when he had to say his personal things. The less people know about him, the better.

Just as polygamy is no disgrace, being a widow is no disgrace, but she is ashamed to reveal it.

"Oh, yes. You said you wanted to help me, right?" Naya distracts. He stood up from his seat and was about to go back into the house.

"Yes," answered Rama as he pulled out his hair and smiled. He was sitting in the chair Naya was sitting in.

"But it seems like you don't need help, so let's just talk here. We're both new people, right?"

'This isn't funny'

"But, sorry. I'm gonna take a break. I cape, just finished cleaning" said Naya.

"From yesterday I saw you were busy cleaning,"

"Ck! you'll see for yourself I want a room in this house someone's renting. Not bad, it makes friends as well as earning. So the house must be completely clean and if there are people who rent then they will not be disappointed because the house is dirty and not neat" said Naya explained.

"Oh like that." said Rama. Look at Naya who was standing at the entrance.

"You will not, if I help you let your boarding room rent quickly," said Rama again.

"Eum can, how?"

"You are a guest in my video, yes, I will prepare first" said Rama as if to leave, he moved from his seat.

"H wait, you mean you want to talk through the video and then in sahre on your account, so?" naya asked, he didn't seem to like it.

"Yes." said Rama, "later we appear together, talking about your boarding place, that is" said Rama. He turned his body to Naya.

"I don't want to. I don't like to look like that" Naya said.

"Eh, what's wrong? Now it's like that, all through online." replied Rama.

Then Naya shook her head and said, "Son, I don't want to, I don't want to be a guest on your blog. I don't like being exposed, like that,"

Rama was silent and he took a deep breath and then he said, "Well, if you don't want to, then I'll just say if this place is rented out, okay?

" Well, yes, yes" replied Naya.

Rama has a hobby of being an incluencer, so some of his social media accounts get a lot of followers and he also earns income from his hobby.

Who would have thought that in today's sophisticated world, just by talking like that, you can earn so much income. Even being an incluencer is quite popular among young people some people make this influencer as their job.

The next day, Naya prepares for the shooting done by Rama. The man was dressed as an actor who was ready to act out a scene in the film. He set up a phone with a high-resolution camera, the latest output phone he has. He took some pictures of the rooms, the courtyard, as well as some of the rooms in the house that had been decorated by Naya with goods or flowers alakadarnya.

Then, some of the photos, he used as the background in the video. He began to speak as if there was someone else in front of him with the language and style of the young man. This is how the latest video is made. Rama shamelessly, without having made the screenplay, said in front of the camera screen of his phone,

" Hey guys good afternoon. How are things I'm here I have a new acquaintance, he has a room that can be rented anyway here the place is comfortable, you can stay here, you can stay here, in addition to a strategic place close to offices and also lectures, this place is also quite spacious. Anyway very good. About the price can be nego yes, the same that has." said Rama, he paused for a moment to point the camera at Naya who looked behind him.

"But there are not many rooms here, there are only two rooms for rent, one room can be occupied by two people, just one room, if for example you want to rent in this place you have to bring your own needs, because here is only available single bed only, because here is only available, Ok guys enough yes for my video this time I hope you guys are happy, I made this video to help my friend you know. Bye. See you later,"

How long the video was uploaded various comments appeared, ranging from asking for prices, asking for locations and places to stay, asking who the owner is and also asking for other facilities. There are also those who ask if there are many beautiful women or handsome men. Strange and a little funny questions just popped up.

Rama did not respond to all the comments that appeared, he only responded to some questions that were intended to find out the location or facilities in Naya's house. After that he gave Naya's mobile phone number, to some people who were interested in her boarding room.

Until the morning, Naya saw her regular vegetable worker who often stopped in front of her neighbor's house. Naya bought some of her kitchen necessities. Because he only lives alone he does not need much food, just enough because he also has to save money.

When she was choosing vegetables, a mother said,

"Jeng, you know Den Rama's mom?" said the mother, to the next-door neighbor Naya. Naya did not recognize him, as she rarely saw him.

"What's up with Haji Tina's mom?" answer neighbor.

Mother-mother conversations continue.

"Every night was taken to the hospital, but the Ramanya Den was not there."

"Well, what a pity, haji Tina ma'am. How is Rama?"

"Said the hell Rama has followed to the hospital, tau not jeng. Rama now likes to go to the new widow's place, everywhere the widow becomes an actor!"

My heart seemed to pause for a moment as if the beating of his heart was going to kill him.

'Who is this Rama that my neighbor refers to? He's not Rama who comes to my house often, is he? Astagfirullah'

Maya furrowed her brows, but she did not want to ask something that could provoke further conversation. He left the crowd of mothers after paying the vegetable vendor.

Suddenly Naya is restless, she feels that she is not an actor, who she knows is a man who does not yet have a partner. Moreover, Rama introduces himself as a man who lives alone.

In the afternoon Rama reappeared at the residence of Naya, he then showed the results of the video they made yesterday. In addition to the video, Rama also made some photos about Naya's house and boarding room. He gave a caption that is sort of and and impressed funny. From the photos uploaded by Rama all reap a lot of likes.

Naya smiled at what Rama had shown her. Out of curiosity he said,

"Hey, Rama. Do you have a wife yet?"

They were chatting on the porch. Naya sat on an old chair and Rama sat on the floor. Rama looked at Naya with his brows furrowed.

"What if I were alone, you would be my wife?" said Rama.

The deg! naya's heart was beating irregularly. He is not ready to build a relationship and may never even be ready.

Finally Naya told him what she heard in the morning, when she was shopping for vegetables with her neighbors mothers. After Naya finished talking Rama laughed out loud. He stopped after laughing for a long time.

He said, "Why? Are you afraid to say actor? If I had a wife, I'd be glad you were the one!" rama said with the rest of his laughter.

According to Naya, this man is so cute. He was amused by his words, but it was something embarrassing for Naua, being an actor was not something that could be made into a joke. If he really became the actor of Rama and his wife, then he better be eliminated at that time.

Seeing Naya's concern, Rama then waved his hand to distract Naya.

"It has. Don't worry, I really haven't got married" Rama said.

Naya raised an eyebrow of disbelief.

"What's? at your age, not married? Married it's sunnah, let alone you look established," said Naya.

"It would be wrong for a man to decide to be single for life? marriage is a hassle" Rama said.

"If you think getting married is troublesome, why did you say you were happy if you were married the same I even said that you were happy that I was the actor of your wife, that means you want to marry dong?" naya said with great emphasis.

"Yes, I want to marry you as my wife!" back Rama laughed and Naya pouted to hear him.

Something that is not funny according to Naya, because she does not intend to marry again at all, she is really afraid to start a relationship like this.

"Don't joke, I've never been married, so don't talk anything. There will be nothing between us. We just know each other and we're just neighbors, that's it" Naya said, narrowing her eyes.

Hearing what Naya said, Rama raised his chin a little like thinking, according to her Naya is a good woman, because she does not use the word widow as her status, she just said that she had been married.

" What, you've been married? Why do I see you like an ABG kid who just graduated from school" Rama said.

Hearing Rama's words, Naya laughed again, and said, "right, I've been married, maybe we're only a few years old," Rama was silent for a moment and then rolled his eyes. He said,

"I've been twenty-eight years, you?"

"I'm twenty-seven years old" Naya smiled and took a deep breath.

The age of over twenty years for a woman is a very mature age, not ABG children anymore, or children who just graduated from school as Rama said. Age is an inevitability for every human being just that some people are too afraid of getting older, because getting old is something they least expect.

Many people are so afraid of getting old that they use various ways to inhibit the process, such as using various drugs, doing therapy or surgery. The last thing that is mostly done by the upper class who have more wealth.

"We are both adults, right? so we don't deserve to talk like this. I have no intention of getting married again" Naya said.

"Why?" ask Rama.

"No, it's okay. I just don't want to."

Marriage is indeed one of the sunahs of the apostle, even the Apostle once said that if a group of people who do not want to do marriage, it is not considered as part of his people. But it is wrong for someone like Naya to have trauma with her marriage. He was traumatized by a deep wound, so it was difficult to begin.

Rama nodded, a sign of understanding. Although he was a little surprised by Naya who did not want to get married again. She wanted to ask about the cause of Naya's separation from her husband, but she abandoned her intentions.

Many women around her work environment are very impatient to get a companion. They are women who have been married. Moreover, seeing himself at his workplace, because Rama is one of the men idolized by his office employees.

Rama is just a contract worker who only works there will not be long, but some women do consider contract workers like this is not a problem, because the important thing is this man can be a guarantee and reliable in his life.

"Naya, do you want to work?"
