Always Gonna Be You
20. "I'm All Right"
Ilma
According to rumors circulating in Lumina and Rippa, Dio has just been heartbroken because he was left married. He clearly doesn't believe. It's true that people like Dio are left married. There also left others to marry Dio. That just makes sense.
"Meuni teu percanteun pisan (not very trusting)," Muti - the Rippa-accountant sneered.
"Tingali beungeutna (see her face). Sararedih kitu (sadly so)," continued Muti convinced.
Now he has a new habit if he is in Lumina's office, which is to pay attention to the faces of his bosses carefully.
"Ilma, I asked for cashflow last week," Dio walked up to his desk carrying a document. "Same please forward to me the condition of real petty cash and bank balance. The daily."
Then Dio passed to a large table in the middle of the room where the IT children were struggling in front of their respective laptops.
"Lif, please work," said Dio while dishing out the documents that had been brought.
Alif nodded, "Udah Mas deal?"
"Alhamdulillah," the new Fayyad replied. "Deal up! Target three days yes Lif!" Fayyad gave a thumbs up as he passed into the leadership room.
"Three days?" Alif asked towards Dio.
"Target a week," Dio replied as he sat down next to Alif. "Third day please present to me. Before I leave."
Alif laughed, "For three days. Two of them."
"Can, can!" Dio patted Alif's shoulder reassuringly.
Alif nodded, "I'm working on Mas."
"Sip!" Dio gave a thumbs up, then switched to checking on the task Nanda was sitting on his right. "Berez Da?"
"A little more Mas," Nanda shifted a little screen of his laptop to be seen by Dio.
While correcting the location of the glasses Dio began to check the work of Nanda. "Lho, not this," Dio frowned making Nanda stop her activities.
Dio takes over Nanda's laptop and starts explaining what to do. After explaining and giving a live example for nearly fifteen minutes, Dio recalled his request.
"Imma? Where did I ask for that?"
He who was checking the evidence of production so ragged. "I-iya Mas Dio's. How's it?"
Dio corrected the location of the glasses with a smile, "So I asked for cashflow."
"Oh, yes for a minute" he said nervously. "When is Cashflow?" while struggling to check the cabinet file containing print out financial statements.
"The latest, last week."
"Well, Ilma was daydreaming" as Gerry sat at the very end. A while ago engrossed in front of the laptop, but now began to comment.
"Dreamy of what the hell Ma is," continued Gerry again. "The daydreaming was also in sight," while glancing at Dio.
This is not the name of Dio who sararedih (sadly) left married. Dio remains productive. In fact, it is counterproductive, as a result of mostly analyzing Dio's facial expressions.
"Henteu ah (not ah)," he disapproved of Muti's opinion. "We teu katingal saredih habit (unusually does not look sad)."
"Ih, you are so much pretentious, (you often do not believe)," Muti sneered. "Now, I already know the instagram account of his ex Mas Dio," Muti continued half whispered.
"Where's cing look?"
R. Anggiant
Locked
"This is Mas Dio's ex who got married first?"
Muti nodded confidently. "Sok look, Mas Dio still follows girls."
"But the ig is locked. Can't get to us."
"Tong waka nyauran abi Muti (don't call me Muti)," Muti patted his chest while holding a photo on the phone screen. "If you can't do this."
He frowned at the photo of five people with a beach background. One of them was Dio. Standing in the most peripheral position at the same time attracts the most attention.
Muti smiled proudly. "There are followers of Mas Dio who ngetagged, the result of this photo."
When viewed from the date of posting, it was almost two years ago.
Then Muti pointed to a girl standing right next to Dio, "It looks like this is Mas Dio's ex. Similar to profile R. Anggiantise."
He shook his head, "Maneh pisan intention to stalk."
"It's curious" Muti laughed.
And the time of farewell finally came. Farewell party for Dio, who in a few days will leave for the US.
Located in Magna Books & Cafe, Dago is not far from Lumina's office. It was deliberately booked specifically by Fayyad and Gerry for the event tonight. With the Lumina & Rippa full team attended, the event is sure to be exciting and lively.
The event opened with an expression of impressions from all those present about Dio. Starting from the impression that tends to be polite and serious, to the impression that funny, strange, absurd, all unclear, even that shames and makes the forehead frown, all gathered into one. Accompanied by endless laughter.
"We don't want to be sad here, yes" Gerry said as soon as the discussion about the impression was completed. Who confidently named themselves to be an impromptu MC.
"We just want to have fun, because one of us in a few days will sail the ocean to reach the mind."
"We pray together that God will always protect and accompany Dio wherever he is. Can complete the study well, smoothly, sprawl."
"AAMIIN," replied the children of spirit, including himself.
"Turn back again to build the country."
But Gerry continued, "Didoain is back again? Or do not want to move citizenship, stay there?"
All I asked was laugh.
"Because even if you come back here is also free, even make your heart again broken. Is that not it?" gerry continued to laugh loudly Fayyad, Fathir, and Bonni. The last two names are the Rippa dedengkot.
While Dio just shook his head while still laughing.
"For sure tonight, we will not let you be alone Yo," said Gerry sure. "What do you want to eat, what do you want, we jabanin! Special for tonight!"
Then Gerry continued, "Yes please order for those who want to order. While waiting for the food to come, let's take a look at this one."
Gerry picked up the guitar that Nanda had prepared, then sat himself in the chair in the middle of the stage, and began strumming the intro of a song.
Applause echoed.
'exceptional
Feels beautiful
When we are caught in the flow of love
Maybe creating a sense
The desire to have each other
However, when
It can all be realized
In a bond of love
Not as easy as it was ever imagined
Unify feelings
Be a star in the sky
That our love will be eternal
Let your light shine upon this nature
To be witnesses of our love
Both
(Badi, Kasih Tak Until)
Applause re-emerged after Gerry finished the song.
"That song is so melow!" Bonni advanced to the center of the stage. "Gua try here" Bonni said as she grabbed the guitar from Gerry's hand.
"Advanced bro!" Gerry then moved between Dio and Fathir, noticing Bonni who was picking guitars.
'I don't understand what I think
A miss that was never so great
I love you more than you know
Even though you'll never know
I'm dedicating my life to you
I have given my heart to you
Yet you are still silent a thousand languages
And my little heart speaks
I just realized
My love claps one hand
You're breaking my whole heart
(God, Pupus)
As Bonni chants the song, she sees Gerry, Fayyad, and Fathir laughing at Dio. While Dio only shook his head many times.
"Well, the song time is like this all the hell!" now it was Fayyad's turn to go forward. "Not really this."
But Gerry, Fathir, and Bonni just laughed. While the other children smile to see Dio run out in the ceng ceng in his friends.
"Yes, hopefully, later return to Indonesia is ready, Yo," continued Fayyad.
"Who was it?" Gerry yelled, back fishing in the murky water.
"Everything is..,." Fayyad was obviously happy because his chatter was there to respond. "Especially ready to forget the pain of being left married."
Then the whole room laughed. Except for them, the girls, who could only smile seeing Dio misbehaving.
"Where, bro, has it been a month, is it still a nye?" Gerry suddenly came forward to grab the microphone held by Fayyad.
Dio pointed his index finger towards the stage while shaking his head.
"Yes, we pray together, hopefully Dio can quickly move on," said Fayyad again. "Sorry man, when else can bully elo all out if not now."
Followed by the laughter of everything there, except the girls who are busy with their own prickly shoes. He who was actually watching Dio's reaction continued to shake his head while his mouth formed a code no no no, so interested.
"What Ge?" he asked Gea who was sitting next to him.
"That's right, Mas Dio was out of wedlock," but Muti answered. "I told you what."
"This is the name of the rival Mas Dio" Gea replied while showing the phone screen.
He read the name next to which was the blue tick, Syailendra Darmastawa.
"The competition isn't cans anyway."
"Can I check blue? Though posting only dozens of seeds."
"Many followers. Kids hits Jogja maybe."
"Eh, dude, I've seen this guy."
"Where?"
"His face is the same ketiplek perpetrator of the blue campus scandal that had gone viral yesterday tea."
"Ah, the hell time?! Let's see."
"Emang good looking is."
"Who the hell is this? A selebgram?"
"The rival is Mas Dio...."
On the stage guys are still talking somehow this time about what. While the row of girls is busy discussing the results of stalkingan to the sosmed account of rival Dio.
"Aren't you Thir?" as he looked back at the stage, Gerry was calling Fathir. "Lo help dong si Dio build a house. All equally as ladder. Be complete, home. Let's just move on."
The other kids came back low. Waduh, apparently still discussing the same thing.
"Well, what's my fault?" Gerry pretended to ask. "It's normal if you go home from outside, people immediately turn cool all. You can build this project, that project. Wake up this wake it up, buy this buy it."
"Specifically Dio, later if you go home immediately wake up household. Okay agree Yo??"
"Huu....."
"Not yet to go, let's talk about going home!" yelled Fayyad who was busy tuning the bass with Nanda and Bonni.
"Ah well, cave instead of sirik. It's real life!" Gerry defended himself. "Okay Yo! Tonight we're calling. Let you have good memories before the next two years suffer in the land of people" Gerry continued.
The kids came back low.
"Come on dong, who has a wish to perform!" Bonni who was ready behind the drum called out to Dio.
"The last show Yo!" yelled Gerry who was ready with his bass. "Ah well, the effect is not very good to hear, the last show," continued Gerry laughing. "Special show Yo. Come on!"
With Bonni drums, Gerry bass, Nanda guitar, and Dio keyboards, they discussed on stage. Soon after playing the sound of bass and keyboard with a stomping tone. Dio himself sings.
'M, your vibration is warm
You brought a glimmer of eternal light
And I stormed in your step oh
And your promise
But now you are getting away
You are always imagined (oh nirvana)
In my love (which has passed)
You always hope (hope)
In my love (back)
(GIGI, Which Is Passed)
Those who sat lined up in one row were blown away by Dio's appearance. Especially himself. Dio sings while closing his eyes, as if he was so absorbed in each of his lyrics. Seemed trying hard to eliminate existing anxiety.
And I was in my dreams
Oh naugan longs
I cheated in your arms
You are always imagined (oh nirvana)
In my love (which has passed)
You always hope (hope)
In my love (back)'
(GIGI, Which Is Passed)
The night the singing and eating events the more exciting. Almost all appear. Including them, the girl gang. I don't know what they look like, it might be embarrassing. But the important thing is all to rejoice and smile happily.
Exactly at 21:50 the event closed with a joint prayer led by Alif, the only child Lumina who before entering Ganapati, is an alumni of one of the best pesantren in Bandung.
And he who was about to order Taxi Online was actually detained by Gerry, "Eh, Ilma, who's home?"
"Use Taxi Online Brother."
"Well, no," Gerry. "Udah night. Just be sent."
"Well, don't bother Sis," she said subtly. "Usually when meeting at the campus and returning home at night even use angkot," he laughed. This time he had to ride Ojol because there was no angkot directly to the area around his house.
"No bother. Isn't that Yo?!" Gerry glanced at Dio who was still talking to Fathir and Bonni.
"Nih the office car, you're the one who brought it," continued Gerry while handing over the car keys to Dio's hands. "Motor you're the cave that brought."
And now, he's been sitting next to Dio, passing through Dago's heavy traffic on Sunday night.
"Sister obviously....."
"Please brother....."
"Bonekanya....."
Dozens of sellers offered their goods as they stopped at a red light. He and Dio only throw smiles at each other when the car they ride is crowded by sellers with various kinds of goods.
"Zidni what?" Dio broke the silence after they passed the red light.
"Okay," he smiled.
"So where are you going?"
"Applyan no one has escaped yet. The last one to Melbourne was not yet. Maybe I want to work first. Yesterday I had an interview at some place."
Dio nodded. And throughout the rest of Dago-Setiabudi's dense journey crept, they were only occasionally stale talk. The rest are silent a thousand languages.
"Let's go through Gerhil, huh?" dio asked when they got in front of Borma Setiabudi.
He nodded. "Yes Gerhil, later through the main gate aja Mas."
Dio nodded.
But once Dio turned the steering wheel to the left entering Lower Gegerkalong Road, density was inevitable. Their car even stuck in place can't move a bit.
"What's up?" Dio straightened his back trying to see what was going on ahead there.
He suddenly patted his forehead remembering something, "Oh, I forgot Mas, sorry."
"Why?"
"There's a cable dig in front of Telkom. I think it's stuck up here," he grimaced feeling bad for completely forgetting. They can take other roads to avoid traffic jams.
"Which Sunday night," he complained increasingly feeling bad because their car did not move. "It must be stuck."
"It's not stuck because the fork that wants to Cipedes huh?" guess Dio as his eyes looked far ahead.
"That too. So plus the traffic jam," he grimaced.
"Is there a way?"
He looked at the side window, they had just arrived in front of Sari Bundo.
"Through Gerlong Tengah Mas, if turning back is not possible."
Dio glanced at the rearview mirror, seen the queue of cars snaking behind them.
"Central Berlin keeps on that DT?" Dio started to turn on the right sign light.
"Yes," he nodded. "Later new to Mr. Gatot.continue Eternal," he continued while calling his home address.
Dio then turned the steering wheel to the right, entering Jl. The narrow Central Gerlong. But just arrived in front of Gerlong Market, they again found a queue of vehicles.
"Well, what's up?" he's getting restless. Feeling bad as the day gets night. The digital clock on the car dashboard, 22.30. Well, this is how if the road in Bandung during the weekend, jammed even to small streets.
"Are all these people going to Lembang?" his weakness. For the area of Setiabudi upwards, the weekend is synonymous with crazy congestion. So many tourists who want to go to Lembang every weekend.
"Nightday there's no study at DT?" guess Dio.
"Usually Friday night is a crowdit," he is increasingly agitated because the speed of the vehicle can only be as much as two meters.
Finally, after going through a crowded queue of vehicles creeping for almost 10 minutes, they arrived at Jl.Gerlong Girang, which turned out to be even denser.
The line of cars extending from end to end was completely immobile.
"Sorry Mas, it turns out that it's jammed here too," he grimaced.
But Dio just smiled, "No papa. It's close to your house, right?"
He nodded.
When their car was stuck in front of MQ Guest House, Dio opened the window and asked the security guard who was helping to break down the density. "Is there a traffic jam like this, sir?"
"There is the departure of Umrah pilgrims," the security guard replied while blowing his whistle giving a signal to the vehicle blocking the road to immediately go so that the traffic jam could unravel.
"Awhile also completed A," continued the security guard. "This is again densely fitting the arrival of the introduction of worshipers."
Dio nodded.
Almost 20 minutes of their time was spent on Jl. The solid Gerlong Girang. After turning to Jl.Pak Gatot Raya then the car can run normally.
"Turn right Mas," he gave a hint as the car passed the KPAD field.
Finally, after traveling nearly 1 hour more from Dago to Abadi, he arrived in front of the house.
"Thank you," he smiled.
"Together," replied Dio while opening the seat belt used.
"E....Where are you going?" he frowned seeing Dio open the car door and get out.
"You've got to get into the house" replied Dio. "Last night just got home. Not being scolded by your parents?"
***
Dio
He smiled to himself at the traffic jams as far as the eye could see. The darkness of the night actually feels more lively with the luminous white, yellow and red light coming from dozens of car spotlights and brakes that turn on simultaneously.
While waiting for the queue of vehicles that move slowly, he began to organize playlists of choice through car audio. The first one is,
'M, your vibration is warm
You brought a glimmer of eternal light
And I stormed in your step oh
And your promise
But now you are getting away
You are always imagined (oh nirvana)
In my love (which has passed)
You always hope (hope)
In my love (back)
(GIGI, Which Has Passed)
What he had just experienced made him think, is this so-called destiny already outlined? Whichever path the champion chooses remains the same.
Like earlier when he had a traffic jam in Gerhil, then chose to pass an alternative road, but still stuck in traffic. The ends through the travel time is almost the same as if you still choose to pass Gerhil.
Just like her. Whichever path the champion chooses remains the same. He and Anggi can't be together. That so?
If only he hadn't let go of Anggi. If only he hadn't been looking for Rendra. If only he hadn't written a note someone needs ur help. If he hadn't said "take care of her" to Rendra. If only he and Anggi had stayed together. Even though he did it all, would the end remain the same as the current one? They're not together.
Could Rendra be like the traffic jam he passed earlier. Although already trying to avoid congestion but still meet other congestion. So, even if he and Anggi stay together, Rendra will definitely still appear between them, no matter what. Is that what is meant by destiny? Didn't it?
No matter how hard he tries to always be with Anggi, choose a different path, but if it has been suratan destiny of the Almighty, what can human beings? In addition to receiving all the provisions with a roomy, and believe that this is the best for all. For him, for Anggi, for Rendra.
His lips are getting a smile. His heart began to be relieved. The corners that had been shaky, are now getting stronger. The emptiness that was originally mastered, slowly disappeared. The burden and regret that lingered, the scum evaporated in the air.
The playlist kept moving, while the car he was driving was still slowly creeping through the darkness of the night.
'I am weak without you
I am vulnerable because
The love that is missing from you
Who can flatter me
As long as the eyes are open
Until the heart doesn't beat
For as long as I can remember you
From you, I found my life
You are true love to me
When it is written for me
Is the best for you
I'll make you a memory
The most beautiful thing in my life
But it won't be easy for me
Leaving traces of your life
Which is immortal engraved
As the best memories'
(Samsons, Most Beautiful Memories)
"Goodbye Anggi" he whispered inwardly while smiling with relief.
"Blessed always."
"By you, happy me too."
"I'm fine."
