Hardforkseries : "Story of My Life" (part 4)
A few days later. There was a booming chirp in the morning. Looks like things are back to normal as if nothing ever happened and he never saw Erny again. He was back busy with self-piling work. And that's what he always did before. He went back to doing things he had not done for the last few days. He tried to try to forget some things, and he seemed to be successful. But there are obvious differences in him. Yes, there seems to be something different about him. But what's different?
"Boss, are you okay?". Ask Asna.
"Yes. I am fine. Why?"
"Are you sure, boss?"
"Yes, yes. I am sure"
"You look pale, boss"
"Is it true?"
"Yes"
"Maybe I'm sleep deprived"
"Should you go to the doctor, boss?"
"No, no. No need. I am fine. Trust me "
"All right, boss. Up to you"
"Thanks, Asna"
"No problem, boss"
Two days before the H-day
"Mom!". Rony called his mother from the room
"Yeah, son. What is wrong?"
"Please call Feno or Asna, today I'm not in the office. I'm a little unwell ".
"Yeah, I'll tell you later. Let me hold your forehead, son? Mother call father first, let you be taken to hospital ".
"No, mom. I'm nothing, just fever "
"But, son"
"Believe me, mom"
"Yes, if that's what you want. But mothers compress want ? "
"Yes, Mom". Rony's mother went to the kitchen to immediately cook water and prepare a small basin and cloth to compress it.
The scorching morning sun stung and shone on every stretch he was dancing. But it was fresh by the wind that blew through the white shirt that Rony wore. Apparently he has recovered from his illness, but sometimes it still hurts if he is too hard in thinking. He went to the office.
In the office he did not do much, just check on the circumstances of his colleagues Asna and Feno, while Agay is always outside.
"Me first"
"Yeah, boss. Take care "
Rony came home on public transit, he sat in the very end of the chair and coincide with the other passengers. In the shuttles, he looked at the other cars and the roadside shophouses that looked like they were walking by themselves through the car he was traveling on. While many trees and people. However, unexpectedly he saw a woman on the sidewalk. Seen he was digging a boy. At first Rony did not realize, but after some distance, he realized that the woman is Erny. He also spontaneously stopped the transport that he climbed.
"Stop". After paying the money to the driver of angkot, he immediately rushed to Erny. Rony panted toward Erny.
"Hey". Ron greeted hesitantly. Erny did not seem to find Rony who greeted her. She just looked at Rony's face for a moment then turned her away. She was carrying her son then walked in a hurry to avoid Rony. He also understood with Erny's attitude to him. He was conscious of what he had done to her.
"Erny". Rony called Erny. While Ernita went on ignoring him and he tried to keep up with Erny. "Erny. Please listen to me ". Erny just keep going "Erny. Come on. Say something. Please ". Rony begged. Unexpected by Rony, Erny stopped her steps as well as Rony. while holding her son at the waist, Erny reacted.
"You want me to talk! You want me to talk! What do you want me to say? And what do you want to hear from me? A disappointment. What's that mean? And you're happy about that? You know how long I waited there. Then the gaze of the people there, do you know? But that's not what I'm worried about. And one thing that makes me congested, you know what? I thought you were really serious about me.
That you do love me. And I believe it. Yes, I believe. But maybe it was, during college. Or indeed you have not really loved me before. Especially with my status, a woman who has one child without a companion. And that is confusing. But until now that makes me sick is, I still love you. Yes, I do love you. I do not blame you on this. This is my fault. I'm too hopeful of something from you. How stupid am I". Erny laughed to herself.
"But, Erny". Rony tried to retaliate.
"Now, we forget we've met and got to know each other. I want to go and try to forget some things with what has been happening to me all along, and we should not have to see each other again. I hope you understand. A good afternoon". Erny went to leave Rony.
While Rony only looked at her from behind. He was not given a chance to speak. In fact, he felt very guilty at her and wanted to talk. What does he feel? Soon it rained down all over the ground. He just paused lamenting kedaan. While the day began to dusk, flickering city lights began to look adorn buildings and city parks. People in the middle of town began to busy coming home from work. Along with the darkness of day, noon has changed into the night.
Just before the show in a building. Feno looked nervous to find Rony who never showed his nose. At the same time, the invited guests came one by one. Mr. Adi as the person who financed the event participated anxious about the existence of Rony. He sat in the back seat of the stage holding a glass of water and a cigarette and staring at the small clock on the table in front of him.
"Where is Rony ???"
