Key Chain


"Say he found this at the station. Strange as it is, I mean Rajendra never forgets to check whether the keychain remains in his bag or not. And now he's dropped it by accident."


Ignacia was confused as to how to react. Bagas also added that the girl named Sarah had just returned to the city to meet her friend. Because he had seen Rajendra here, so he gave his invention to Bagas. So the girl Ignacia saw in the car after Rajendra had a chat with Feby must have been Sarah.


At home, Ignacia went straight into the room as soon as she got home. He only talked for a while with his mother and chose to remain silent. Ignacia was still clutching the keychain she got from Bagas. If this thing had been in the station for a long time, someone should have put it where it was lost. Or even throw it away.


Sarah can find him by accident, in an unexpected place. That means this thing just got dropped before someone noticed it. Before time to clean the station when it is off. Rajendra's at the station? What's he there for?


Rajendra didn't say if he was going home, didn't say if there was anything he should do at the station. Yes indeed not all information Rajendra must convey to Ignacia. Ignacia should not think of anything and immediately change her clothes before going to bed. The night is getting late.


Should Ignacia be alone about giving this Bagas? Maybe Ignacia can ask in person when she meets Rajendra early next month. Hopefully there is nothing sudden that can make both of them must be canceled to meet. Why does it feel so hard when there's something Rajendra doesn't tell him? Ignacia also has a secret she did not tell Rajendra.


Ignacia thanks Sarah for finding the valuables Ignacia gave Rajendra before the two go on a long-distance relationship. Therefore Ignacia can still make Rajendra have this small object. Ignacia wondered how Rajendra would express when he found his keychain on Ignacia.


By the way Rajendra did not contact Ignacia until the girl fell asleep with her cell phone still in her hand. The man must have been busy after visiting the station. Maybe he came home last night, or went out of town to do something. Ah forget it. Ignacia woke up because the phone in her hand had fallen to the floor.


It was morning, Rajendra did not call or send a message. So Ignacia charged up the phone and tried to get busy without staring at the flat object. There was no news from Rajendra when he went online recently. Ah must be because of college, Rajendra is busy with his education. Maybe Rajendra is preparing his graduation.


The free time Ignacia had used to try to find a job as Nesya had suggested. The girl was doing some research on the job and just needed to start later. Ignacia will ask her parents for permission once her research is complete. Things he did could not go well because he did not get permission from his parents.


"Just do what you want, Ignacia. You are an adult and understand what you think is good. Good luck with whatever you do." Ignacia was glad her wish was not met with opposition. He said he would also get permission if he wanted to do his work outside the home occasionally.


Ignacia was unsure if it could be as successful as the senior Proofreaders. He or she must attend classes and webinars if he or she wants to explore this work. Well, the resolve is round. At least what he learned during college can be useful later. Ignacia had to be patient and work harder in order to show her abilities to her father and mother.


Good news, Rajendra sent a message. Rajendra now has time for her lover. The man apologized for not having time for Ignacia last night. He said he had a sudden affair so he could not contact Ignacia. He has very little time with a lot of activity.


Ignacia forgave her lover the way she was supposed to. The business that Rajendra mentioned must be the reason why his ghost bird is on the nightstand of Ignacia. Did Rajendra even realize that the keychain was missing? There was no tension or anything from Rajendra's side in his second voice call tonight.


"Rajendra, yesterday I visited your city to see Dianti." Ignacia might be able to get Rajendra to tell her why her keychain could be on the station if she also starts telling the truth. Rajendra is surprised by what he hears, asking why Ignacia can go far away from home to meet this friend.


"He's the only friend we didn't go to college with, so Rananta plans to surprise us. Dianti just faced a problem, we thought by visiting her we could comfort her." Ignacia fixed her sitting position, "but unfortunately all that could come was me, Rananta, and Hanasta alone. Other friends have a busy life."


"That means the surprise failed?"


Ignacia shook her head slowly knowing that Rajendra would not be able to see her. "We succeeded. We acted suspiciously to punish Dianti. He was so happy when we came. Then we'll have dinner together before we go home." The girl won't tell me where they're eating. For that let Ignacia say when returning the keychain.


"You always take care of each other. Too bad we can't meet. Then you get home at what time?" Rajendra is worried if her girl comes home late at night. He was not there to protect. Yesterday Ignacia came home so late, Rajendra hoped her lover would not come home at that hour again. Thank goodness there was nothing along the way.


The conversation continues. Rajendra did not deliver anything related to the station. He only talked about what he did at lunch and the funny behavior of his friends. Rajendra also said if when going to eat to a restaurant he could not find a place and ended up eating alone at his boarding house. Though Rajendra had wanted to eat out so as not to be alone.


The appointment was made that night. The two will meet next weekend. He could not wait to meet even though he had no plans to go. "We have met directly. About where we're going, we can think about it later." Hopefully later the two will not end up sitting in an ice cream shop.


But Ignacia also likes the concept. Sitting in the cute ice cream shop of the time while enjoying a hot afternoon indoors with air conditioning. Sitting alone with the nicest man she has ever met. Hand in hand on the table while discussing an interesting story. Ignoring all distractions around other than melted ice cream.


Ignacia could not wait for her name to be called back by her beloved man. Hope the meeting time comes soon. A small smile appears on Ignacia's lips, remembering all the fun episodes with Rajendra. Ignacia believes that sooner or later, all the curiosity about her lover will be answered.


The sound of the motor was heard from several blocks. In less than a minute, a man parked his motorcycle in front of his girlfriend's house. Ignacia's father is now busy delivering Arvin extracurriculars. While Rafka also took a swim even though he has now entered a higher level. He was bored at home and wanted to swim. Be there only Ignacia's mama inside.


Ignacia freely brought her lover inside, saying goodbye to her parents for the first time in person. As an adult, Ignacia's mother won't worry about where her daughter will go. Rajendra is the one in charge. The girl's mom won't ask any more questions about their plans. They should go home before afternoon.


Ignacia looked at her mother for a while before leaving, thanking her without speaking. It's good to see Rajendra feeling welcome in the Ignacia family even though that's not what it seems. Ignacia will wait until the rest of her family accepts Rajendra at a family gathering.


"Where are we going?" Not yet Ignacia up to the seat, Rajendra has asked the basic why the two will now leave the front page of Ignacia's house. Which girl might know where they're going. "We go around first and stop at an interesting place? Do you like it?"


"Sure, we'll just do it. What matters is that we can both go." About when Ignacia was able to pull out the secret she had in her bag? Rajendra seems to have no burden at all. Did his gift a few years ago mean nothing to Rajendra? No, Ignacia's just bragging. Where could be his lover that long.


Now it's still not lunch time, so maybe going around looking for a good place to eat isn't something that's wrong. The route is random, if you want to turn, then Rajendra will turn. If you want to stay on this path, the pace will only be straight until you want to turn again. It matters not where they go. There are plenty of places to eat on the side of the road. The important thing is to be able to linger together and contact directly.


Rajendra said many interesting things, also asked about something that made him curious about Ignacia. An example would be the conversation Ignacia had with her sister the other day. Ah Rajendra still can't forget it. While behind Ignacia spoke a little, it was more comfortable to be quiet and hug Rajendra than to tell a long story.


Ignacia has no more stories except her secrets.


When lunch time arrived, the couple began to feel empty. Rajendra knows a good place to eat around here. The two went there without discussion. Ignacia will come. He has absolutely no idea. His only intention was to follow Rajendra anywhere.


Silent, there was no chatter left between chewing and swallowing time. The place is too crowded to talk. Ignacia wanted to go to the ice cream shop that time again. It was there that Ignacia would demonstrate her discovery from Bagas. He wanted to immediately assess Rajendra's expression and response. That way Ignacia doesn't have to guess anymore.


"How do you know if I was contacted by Amira's sister?" Ignacia wanted to take turns asking. The streets were quite slow, so there was no need to speak while shouting. "You came to Maaz's dinner?"


The man in front of him shook his head, claiming to have busy until he did not even go home. Gafar complains about driving away to Amira's house. Her mother had also asked if Rajendra would come along, and the man had obviously refused. Next Gafar sent a photo of the cake that Amira made. Rajendra thought the cake was made by Ignacia and asked if Ignacia was there.


"No, Amira made it herself. The recipe he got from Ignacia, "gafar honestly. Rajendra said that her sister was a bit of a hassle, so she was afraid that Ignacia would be bothered to deal with her. Once again a strange aura enveloped the man that Ignacia was hugging.


The ice cream shop this time is quite stretchy, similar to the road that both went through earlier. Ignacia chose her favorite vanilla ice cream. The difference is now that he uses taiyaki instead of the usual cone. Ignacia wants to topping unicorn horns and stars. Rajendra is also the same, chocolate ice cream with the same Oreo and taiyaki toppings.


Everything is similar to Ignacia's imagination. Hand in hand and ignore all distractions. The phone data is turned off, the eyes are focused only on each other. Ignacia was ready to take out her reward after this chat. He let go of his lover's hand. "I have a gift for you, Rajendra."


The man in front of him waited, staring at something Ignacia held and placed on the table. Rajendra's eyes are almost perfectly rounded. Ignacia smiled broadly. "When I went to your town, I went to the restaurant where you used to work. One of your friends I don't know left this, hoping I can give it back to you."


Rajendra slowly grabs the owl's keychain. Finally, he felt relieved to find the object he was so worried about missing. He was afraid of disappointing Ignacia so chose not to say it. Rajendra had already searched many places he had passed by. But still not met. Rajendra is honest. Everything he said felt sincere.


Sarah has nothing to do with Rajendra. The girl just happened to find this thing of her lover without ever meeting Rajendra. It's good that Rajendra just lost his little present because of accident. The station must be so crowded that this thing can be detached from the chain.


"I'm sorry I couldn't take good care of him. I'll make sure I don't get rid of this keychain again. I promise." Ignacia's hand he reached back, kissing the back of the girl's soft hand with a fervent look. "I'm glad you brought it back to me. Thank you for returning it to me."


"You know, every time I miss you when I can't see you, I'll glance at this keychain. He always reminds me of you. I wrote my name here for fear of losing the mark intentionally. I really like these key chains, you know? He's funny."


Isn't Rajendra too romantic? He still clasped Ignacia's hand while saying something still about the little gift she gave him. It seems that giving this gift before parting is the right choice. The keychain Rajendra immediately kept well, as soon as possible returning his focus to his girl.
