Today Devian hasn't been sharing news with Carissa all day. The message that Devian sent from morning until midnight received no reply from Carissa. Over and over again Devian tried to make a call no one was connected.
"Where are you?" muttered Devian worriedly.
Devian started thinking negatively. Devian was afraid something might happen to Carissa.
"If there's no news tomorrow, I'll catch up with you dear." Devian's determination was deep.
Devian sat on the terrace of the house with a small garden in his yard. Devian looks riled up, checks his phone several times but there are no messages or incoming calls from Carissa. Mother Tamara who saw Devian did not calm down decided to approach her son alone puppet.
"Dev, what's wrong with you? Any issues?" ask Mother Tamara who made Devian look over.
Devian fell silent, without an answer with a wistful look.
"What's up, honey? You're very restless. Same story Mother." said Tamara who had sat next to Devian.
"Bun. All day Dev can't connect with Rissa. None of the messages were answered, the phone was not picked up. Dev is worried that something will happen to Rissa." replied Devian who could not hide the worry on his face.
Mother Tamara clasped Devian's hand and gently looked at her son's face.
"Honey. Try to calm yourself. Maybe Rissa is busy with her studies" said Mother Tamara trying to calm Devian.
"But, Bun."
"Remove your no-no thoughts. It's best for Rissa. Believe God will take care of Rissa." cut off Mother Tamara before Devian got more panicked.
Devian looked at Mother Tamara, hoping that what Tamara said could calm her down. Devian raised his head to stare at the black sky then took a breath and let it out slowly. Devian closed his eyes, he tried to wipe away all the restless feelings that had already filled his chest.
"Mother's right. Devian prayed first, Bun." said Devian.
"Jas has prayed first. Do'a be with Allah so that Rissa may be given refuge." Tamara reviewed a gentle smile and patted her son's sturdy shoulder gently.
Devian smiled then rushed towards his room.
After Devian took ablution, he prayed fervently. Don't forget Devian did a prayer asking for protection for Carissa. After praying and praying, Devian went to his bed. Devian opened his phone again hoping for news from the idol, but nil. Devian sighed.
"Honey. May you be well." hope Devian inwardly.
Devian dissolves in daydreams, vividly imagining Carissa's beautiful face in his mind. The moment Carissa smiled, laughed, upset, angry and cried clearly imagined in Devian's mind. He misses the woman who is now filling the space in his heart. Devian does not know for sure, when he began to fall in love with Carissa. But when Carissa was not there beside him, he felt tightness. As of today, Devian was almost insane for not getting word from Carissa. Devian was eager to fly to New York tonight to see Carissa. Devian wanted to ask Carissa directly. But Devian tried to hold it, if tomorrow morning there was still no news from Carissa then he decided to follow the idol.
Devian tries to think positively, not forgetting to pray for Carissa's safety. His eyes began to feel heavy, with Devian forced to fall asleep with mixed feelings and hope that tomorrow morning Carissa could be contacted.
"Pa, what's Devian and Rissa's wedding planning?" ask Mama Allisa who is brewing tea with Papa Cakra in the family room.
"Mama take it easy. The preparations are already arranged Adhitama. Just waiting for our daughter to return." replied Cakra as he sipped tea.
"Did Rissa agree, Pa? I mean, Mama, shouldn't we talk to Rissa, Pa?" ask Mama Allisa.
Cakra sighed softly then looked at the beautiful face of his wife who did not fade with age.
"Mama doubted Rissa? Of course he'll agree, Ma. There will be no rejection" Papa Cakra said confidently.
"Why is Papa so sure? We haven't talked to Rissa at all." Mama Allisa still hesitates with her husband's words.
"Ma. don't worry. Papa is sure Devian has talked about it a lot with Rissa. I know how our daughter is" replied Cakra accompanied by a small laugh.
Allisa breathed a rough breath. Allisa did not understand Cakra's thinking.
"Just pray for the best, Ma. And this plan went well. After all, we already know very well our besan candidates, right?" said Papa Cakra who saw the confusion of Allisa.
"alright. Mama only expects kindness for our daughter, Pa." said Allisa grasped tightly Cakra's hand.
Cakra returned Allisa's grasp and gently stroked her long hair.
"Mama take it easy. Devian is a nice guy, he deserves to be Rissa's best friend. Papa is sure, he can take care of Rissa and can be relied upon." said Cakra then hugged his wife's body tightly.
"Aamiinu. Mama also hopes so." said Allisa and returned her husband's embrace tightly. Allisa tries to shake off all her doubts in the arms of the man who will be her life companion until death picks her up.
Morning in New York.
Carissa was already preparing to head to campus to gather some revised assignments. Carissa took her cell phone on the table.
"God! It's only right from yesterday I didn't hear my phone" said Carissa who immediately activated her phone.
Yesterday Carissa was busy with tasks until late at night. When he returned to the homestay he charged his phone which ran out of power.
"Definitely Devian is angry." Carissa's inner being had 24 messages coming in from Devian.
Carissa directly pressed Devian's number and made a voice call.
Tut Tut Tut
"Definitely Devian is asleep." Carissa muttered looking at her watch which showed at 10:00 New York time.
Carissa tried to call Devian again.
Tut Tut Tut
"I just send a message" Carissa said as she typed in a message and sent it to Devian.
Carissa rushed to the campus to immediately hand over the tasks she had revised overnight.
10 Minutes away, Carissa arrived at the campus gate. Carissa immediately entered the campus and headed for the Georgian room.
"Morning, madam." said Carissa, who found Georgia sitting on her stool.
"August, Rissa. Is it all done?" ask Georgia by commenting on a thin smile.
Carissa nodded her head excitedly and immediately gave up her revised task.
Georgia immediately accepted and scrutinized Carissa's duties closely.
"Wow. You are brilliant!" praise Georgia who was so amazed with Carissa.
"I didn't expect, the revision could be like this. Exceeding my expectations, Rissa." added Georgia who was still amazed by Carissa's intelligence.
"I changed a few concepts and added an idea that came to my mind" Carissa said.
"alright. I really like your results. You've been declared a graduate without even revising your last assignment" Georgia said as she reached out to Carissa.
"Serious madam?" ask Carissa to make sure.
Georgia nodded her head then smiled at Carissa.
Carissa received Georgia's hand. Carissa still couldn't believe what she heard.
"Good Rissa! Yesterday when I saw your assignment, I was pretty sure you could do more than you did yesterday. And today you proved it. Congratulations again." Georgia hugged Carissa.
Carissa welcomed Georgia's embrace with a full day. Carissa still didn't expect her studies to end this soon.
"Thank you, Madame. All of this is thanks to Madam who tirelessly gave me incredible guidance. This is the result of our hard work together" said Carissa who shed tears of joy.
"alright. Congratulations on your graduation, Rissa. Will you take me to dinner?" ask Georgia to Carissa.
"certain. Let's celebrate tonight." said Carissa eagerly and then deciphered her embrace of Georgia's body.
