The Trust In Timing
Meant to find
Raksa turned his car around, stuck gas to make his car go too fast. Raksa even ignored several incoming calls because currently his goal was only one, towards the restaurant where he had seen the woman he had been looking for, today he had to meet the woman, he determined. It only took 10 minutes for Raksa to arrive at the restaurant, he parked his car and rushed into the restaurant, he ran towards the 2nd floor, then headed to the outdoor area of the restaurant, he said, the place where he saw the woman but after searching around the restaurant Raksa still did not find her. Once again Raksa checked the outdoor area on the 2nd floor and still did not find the woman
"Excuse me" Raksa stopped a staff member
"Yes, can anyone help?"
"Awhile..." Raksa pulled out his phone from his pocket
"Have you seen this woman?" Raksa showed a picture of a woman on the staff
"I'm sorry, I never saw her" the staff replied after noticing a photo of the woman on Raksa's phone
"Okay, thank you"
"Sama-sama, excuse me" said the staff then left Raksa
"Did I see it wrong?" Muttered Raksa
"But I'm sure it's him!" Raksa was very sure that he really saw it, he couldn't be wrong
"Vice?" In the midst of his confusion suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name, Raksa looked at the direction the voice was coming from and sure enough, Allen was already standing not far from him and was even seen approaching him
"Hi!" The Raksa greeted him when Allen was in his presence
"Lo in Indonesia? Since when?" Allen looked surprised to see the Raksa who suddenly appeared before him
"About 3 weeks ago" Allen smiled at Raksa's reply, 3 weeks ago on the anniversary of Alana's death, he even saw Alana's favorite flower already in her tomb at that time, the flower that only he and his beloved brother and his fool Allen knew was unaware of.
"How are you doing bang?" Raksa asks to solve the sudden silence, which Raksa clearly knows the cause is Alana
"Okay, lo himself? How are you?"
"Good"
"Lo returned to Indonesia but did not tell me, in Jakarta anyway" Allen protested
"Yes sorry bang, lately I'm busy so haven't had time to ngabarin lo"
"okay! How long in Indo?"
"Not sure bang"
"OK" They suddenly fell silent again, since the departure of Alana their relationship became tenuous, those who used to be very familiar now become like strangers
"Have you eaten?"
"Udah bang" Raksa answered quickly
"Oh"
"Allen?" Shouted Clarisa, she looked happy to see Allen who was standing not far from her, she then ran over to Allen. Allen who was surprised to see Clarisa could only fall silent
"Vice?" Clarisa stopped running as soon as she realized Raksa standing next to Allen, she then walked up to them hesitantly
"Lo... ad-a in Indo?" Clarisa asked as soon as she arrived before them
"Yep, as you can see!"
"Absolutely when?"
"Since 3 weeks ago, the day before the anniversary of my brother's death" Raksa replied firmly as if he was warning Clarisa and sure enough after hearing that Clarisa's face turned restless she did not even dare to look at Allen or Raksa anymore, realizing that Raksa only smiled faintly while Allen, he did not even see Clarisa's face, obviously there was anger every time he saw the woman's face
"Gue went first bang" Raksa suddenly said goodbye breaking the silence between them
"Why rush?"
"Gue still has business besides that..." The monster stopped and looked at Clarisa
"Gue is afraid, later I can be angry" said Raksa who made Clarisa take a step back from before them
"OK" Allen nodded, he clearly understood his point and after that Raksa immediately left the place, while walking towards his car he raised the incoming call already many times he had ignored before
"Yes Kalea, I'm there right now" Raksa spoke immediately before being lectured by Kalea who had been trying to contact him since
"Why did you pick up the phone?!" Kalea's voice sounded annoyed
"gue had business"
"Yes I'm sorry! I also said I was going to be late"
"lo say it's 20 minutes late but it's 1 hour more!" Kalea Protests
"Okay, I'm sorry and you can buy whatever you want. Okay?!"
"Key!" Kalea's voice sounded cheerful again, Raksa clearly knew what to do. After successfully persuading Kalea, Raksa ended the call and immediately rushed to meet Kalea.
"Allen!" Clarisa stopped Allen who was about to leave before her
"Allen, you still don't believe me?" Clarisa showed her face but again Allen did not care
"Allen! Just look at me once! See if you still don't believe me?!" Upon hearing Clarisa's words, Allen immediately looked at her and clearly Allen could see Clarisa's almost crying face which actually made Allen even more upset
"Heem, I still don't believe you! So stop showing up in front of me before I hate the same lo!" Allen commemorated Clarisa again somehow for how many times
"Allen!!" Clarisa shouted, her screams making them the center of attention of people who were eating around them. Allen clenched his hands, it was clear that he was angry, he did not even want to see Clarisa's face. If Clarisa wasn't a woman and not her best friend's sister, Allen would have killed her long ago. While he was in a state of rage, he saw Alora walking towards a table in front of him
"Darling!" Shouting Allen made Alora's footsteps come to a halt and also made Clarisa look towards him. Alora looked puzzled to hear Allen yelling towards her with that call, and he was even more confused when he saw Allen walking towards him and suddenly wrapped his hands around his waist and pulled him so that their distance became closer
"Where are you from?" Allen suddenly stroked Alora's hair, took a few strands of her unraveling hair on her right cheek and then slipped them behind her ear, Alora was so surprised by Allen's sudden attitude that she even tried to retreat to get away from Allen but Allen got stronger and stronger hugging him
"Understand!" Allen's murmur was clearly heard by Alora
"uhuh?" Alora was still confused, Allen tilted his face so that it covered Alora's face and made Clarisa unable to see the faces of the two of them
"Clarisa" muttered Allen
"Have you ordered food?" Allen continues the play, he takes Alora to the table he has ordered and despite being confused Alora starts following Allen's play
"Heem, already" Alora smiled and nodded, as much as she could try to look spoiled and it managed to upset Clarisa. Seeing Allen and Alora who looked affectionate before him Clarisa chose to leave the place in a vexed manner in the meantime, Allen and Alora, who were sitting at their table as if they did not care about Clarisa's departure, began to eat some food that began to be served
"He's still around?" Alora asked after a few minutes of them just focusing on eating, Allen turned around to check
"Gaada's dad!" Allen replied as soon as he finished making sure there was no Clarisa around him
"Who is he?"
"Lo not want?" Alora shook her head, obviously she did not know therefore she asked
"Lunatics who debate the same lo at Revan's wedding"
"Crazy people?" Allen was speechless at Alora's response which looked puzzled
"Where was that?!" Instead of answering, Allen asked back
"Toilet!" Alora replied, seeing Allen who did not answer his confusion was enough to explain that Allen did not want to tell himself and Alora chose not to interfere anymore
"Eh.. this sister.." a staffer who was about to serve food suddenly pointed at Alora.
"I? Why?" Alora asked confused
"Emm, it-u was there who nyari his brother" The staff replied as soon as he finished putting the food he wanted to serve on the table
"Searching me?"
"Yes, he took a picture of his sister and asked me" the staff explained to Alora
"Who?" Allen asked who was suddenly curious after listening to the explanation from the staff
"A handsome guy, but he didn't tell me his name"
"Ohh, fine. Thank you" Alora said, the staff smiled and nodded after which she again left them to do her other duties
"Who?" Allen asked again, this time he asked Alora
"Gue gatau" replied Alora casually
"Do you know and not be curious?"
"Gue was curious as well as useless"
"Huh?"
"Gue still doesn't know who he is. He didn't even mention his name" Alora said correctly but still it didn't take away Allen's curiosity, somehow he suddenly felt disturbed even more curious than Alora.
