TRAUMATISED
EPS. 64. RIRI'S MISSING.

Lea and Richard arrive at the parking lot, Richard throws his motorcycle keys at Juno, and Juno throws Lea's motorcycle keys at Richard. They exchanged motor keys.

" Heart on the road, you guys." Juno.

" Hm, thank you." Said Richard.

Just as Lea was about to piggyback, her phone rang. Lea raised a call apparently from Livy.

" Hello ma." Lea said.

" Dear, is Riri with you? He's not in the store and the store employee says Riri hasn't been in work since yesterday." Ask Livy from across the street.

" No ma, Riri is not with Lea. Isn't he sick? Maybe he's at his boarding house." Lea said.

" Her roommate said Riri didn't come home all night." Livy.

Lea's face became panicked, Riri was strong and hardworking, besides she was an always cheerful child. It was impossible for Riri to just disappear without any news.

Lea recalled the last time she contacted Riri, Riri's voice rattled. Lea thought it was because of pain, but now that Riri had suddenly disappeared, it meant that something happened to her.

" Lea will look for Riri ma, mama don't panic. Let's turn off the phone first, yeah.. " Lea said.

" Yes baby, heart in the quaternary. " Livy.

" Yes, ma." Said Lea, and the call ended.

Lea became thinking hard now, she did not know at all the places that Riri often visited because she was always busy with her own world. In addition, Lea used to only meet with Riri only when she came to the cake shop.

" Lea, what's wrong??" Ask Richard.

" Riri, she's missing." Lea said.

DEG!!

Juno was surprised to hear that.

" What does it mean he's missing, Lea?" Juno asked with a worried tone.

" Riri didn't go to work today, his roommate also said Riri didn't come home all night." Lea said.

Juno immediately pias heard it, was because of his words yesterday that made Riri suddenly disappeared, he thought.

" He came to our tournament yesterday, right? Then it arrived that he was nowhere and I called him after the tournament ended. He said he was sick, so I told him to rest.." Lea said.

" Now that I just realized, Riri's voice sounded raucous. It was like she was crying." Lea said.

Richard was immediately frightened, he was afraid that Lea would become over-thinking and return disappointed with the men.

" I'll look for him." Juno.

" I'm coming with you." Lea said.

" No Lea, just let Juno." Richard's words get in the way.

" But Riri is my friend.." Lea said.

" Lea. please obey, yes. We'll find Riri somewhere else." Richard said, Lea finally nodded.

Juno darted away from there at high speed.

' Please don't act stupid, Ri.' Inner Juno.

Lea and Richard also finally left from there. Unfortunately Lea really does not know at all the places that are often visited by Riri, because Riri just always comes with her.

" I don't know what places Riri comes to." Lea said.

" You calm down, okay? If Juno still hasn't found Riri, we'll call the police tonight." Said Richard.

' May you find him, Juno. Don't make Lea lose her trust again.' Inner Richard.

Meanwhile, Juno darted through the streets of the city that afternoon. He is confused because he does not know Riri's favorite place.

Juno recalled remembering what Riri had told her. Suddenly he remembered his conversation with Riri when he was sad.

" You know, when we're sad, sitting and staring at nature in silence is the best medicine. " Said Riri.

" It's like you've been sad. " Silent Juno.

" The person who looks cheerful does not mean never sad, they tend to keep the wound behind his smile. " Riri said while chuckling.

" When you're sad, where are you going?" Ask Juno.

" On the roof of the building, hehe." Said Riri with his typical smile.

" You said the natural scenery was deserted, then what's the connection with the roof of the building, Riri? " Juno said annoyedly.

" I just want to make you smile. But I'm honest.if I'm sad I'll sit on the roof of a building. " Said Riri.

" Which building? Who knows I'll be there." Juno.

" Xoxo Tower "Murm Juno, after obtaining a place that Riri mentioned from his memories.

Juno turned his motor back when there was a crossroads, he darted towards a place called Xoxo Tower. Yang Juno remembered, Xoxo Tower is an abandoned building on the edge of the city, he became more and more afraid of something happening to Riri.

Within 15 minutes, he reached the building. And right, it's empty. Juno went inside and shouted calling out Riri's name.

" Riri! " Shouted Juno.

Fortunately, even though the building is empty, it still has lighting on each staircase leading up. Juno ran to find the stairs.

" Riri, where are you." Shouted Juno again.

Juno climbed up the stairs of the 15-story building. Like being chased by ghosts, he did not stop at all until he arrived on the roof.

BRAK!!

Juno opened the roof door loudly.

Juno ran a small run and looked in all directions with a hunting breath.

' Come on, you wouldn't be that stupid as ending your own life, would you?' Inner Juno panicked.

Juno stopped his steps when he saw the silhouette of Riri sitting on the edge of the roof of the dak. Juno immediately ran when Riri seemed to move forward, he immediately hugged and pulled Riri from the edge until the two fell together.

" Ouch!! who's ka... Juno?? " Riri said with a confused look.

Meanwhile Juno was still panting and closed her eyes while her hands were still hugging Riri's body which was now on top of her body.

" No - no, this must be a shadow. Where could Juno have come here." Riri Gumam.

" It would be nice to see him this close" Riri said, and his yangan touched Juno's face.

" Sadly he hates me. Wake up Riri. forget her." Riri muttered again while beating both cheeks.

Juno opened her eyes and instantly held back both hands of Riri who was currently beating her own cheeks.

" What are you doing? You're hurting yourself." Juno.

" Can you talk to me? You're just Juno's shadow, how can you talk.." Riri.

Juno stared into Riri's eyes so intensely, because their position was really no bulkhead at all. He became sad, then he pushed Riri's body to wake up.

" I'm Juno, you're not dreaming." Juno said after sitting down.

Riri shut her mouth, she thought she was hallucinating about Juno. But what is this? Juno was really in front of him.

" What were you doing, huh?! You wanna jump down?!" Said Juno in a high tone.

" I'm.."

" You stupid or something, huh!? Just because of a man do you want to end yourself?!" Juno said again cutting off Riri's speech.

" That's it, I'm.."

" Silence!!" Juno Jerks. Riri was silent.

" End your own life can you get me? You don't think the people you left behind will lose you so much? More than a thousand men in this world, you can still get the better of me, Ri." Juno.

" I just want you to be the woman you're fighting for, you're worth fighting for. It's not you who fought for me, you know, no?!" Juno.

Juno looked at the silent Riri a thousand languages with her head lowered.

" Reply when asked." Juno.

" You said I should shut up." Riri said with fear.

Juno patted her own forehead, she forgot to have told Riri to shut up.

" Yes, answer." Juno.

" I'm not going to end my own life." Riri.

" It's obvious I saw you almost jump. If I hadn't pulled you, you would've been a corpse down there by now." Juno.

Riri smiled, apparently even though Juno said cruel to her, Juno was still worried about her.

" I really don't want to kill myself, it's not the abyss below." Riri.

" Huh?" Juno Sahut.

Juno got up and walked towards where Riri was sitting, and looked down. Apparently true, it wasn't a ravine or the bottom of a building. But there is still a wide deck, even still able to walk.

Because Juno panicked, Juno did not see that and just pulled Riri's body.

"I thought you were going to kill yourself, just now." Said Juno, and Riri chuckled.
