EMBRACING LOVE
Dreaming of

the flashback

Seven years ago..

" Buk.please give me Sarah's new phone number...". Satrio begged his in-laws.

"sorry mas. ibuk do not know. how to know momuk with such a thing..?" replied Riyati.

" I've tried to keep calling. send messages, even letters also I send buk. But Dik Sarah didn't respond to me buk.."

"mas..., I don't know what your problems are, but I know your daughter very well.she can't do anything for no reason."

From the tone of his speech there was a satire for Satrio.

But what's wrong..? satrio thought he really didn't think about it.

" If I'm guilty please tell me, what I've done wrong.."

" I beg you not to be like this.. I really love Sarah.." Satrio. He has indeed lowered his self-esteem.

"it's better if Satrio gives Sarah room to think. Maybe we're parents who are too forcing your matchmaking relationship. You're supposed to understand each other."

Flash back off.

****

China Airlines landed pretty at Chiang Kai Sek airport. Time shows at 20:00 Taipei time. The air is quite cold, because autumn is here. Leaves began to fall along the road to Taipei.

Satrio won an S3 scholarship to Taipe Nasional University. All facilities are obtained. Dormitory and living expenses for two years.. He decided to choose Taipei as his destination city. His intention to get a doctorate is also at once to find Sarah. His wife.

Satrio don't know if there's Summer in their lives.

Seven years trying to be detained by him all the longings and desires. Sarah disappeared from her life without giving a reason or separation.

Her family also covered up all the information about Sarah.

There was no room to communicate with him.

Satrio kept trying to figure out why Sarah was acting that way. There are no words to break up or separate. There was no discussion or quarrel. Suddenly communication access was cut off, the phone was switched. Wa number blocked, letter returned because it has moved address.

Find out to his family and relatives nil all.

Satrio finally gave up. True said her in-laws, maybe Sarah needs some time alone.

The satrio did not think, what was his mistake until Sarah cut off the relationship with him without cue..

Satrio was not a Sultan who could appoint someone to trace his wife so easily. He is also not a billionaire who can fly directly on a private jet to where his wife is. He had to hold back, collect coffers to be able to find his heart lover.

Satrio kills time by continuing to work. There is no time to relax or to flirt.

Writing articles for newspapers, writing books, filling seminars and workshops became his busy life in addition to teaching.

Live as frugally as possible in order to set aside money for expenses following Sarah. He wanted to meet his wife. He will take her home. Rebuilding a household full of love.

It didn't feel like seven years had passed. He dismissed all the notion that he could not be faithful. Sarah must see her loyalty. Satrio can prove that long distance love can be passed, if that is the point. Maybe two years ago was not enough as proof, until it took him another seven years to test his love. Especially after their unification, did everything mean nothing to him...

All those words were playing in Satrio's brain.

Now that the opportunity was before his eyes, he managed to get the scholarship and Taiwan was his destination country. "I'm coming for you Sarah." said the satrio behind the glass of the Mercedes sedan.

The agency that picked him up drove him straight to his dorm. He enrolled in the receptionist. The head of the dormitory took him to his room which was on the fourth floor.

Satrio could see the dry city view. The dust of the rest of summer still adorns the leaves. The fallen leaves began to fill the streets.

Satrio had a few days before college started.

*****

" There are several labor forces that come from indo tuan. If you want to be able to name. I'll try to find" said the receptionist.

"Sarah Utomo" replied Satrio smoothly.

Then the girl typed a name on her computer.

" Sarah Utomo there is no lord. There is Sarah Kusumastuti sir."

" That's right. Sarah kusumastuti's. Can I visit him?. I'm his relative from Indonesia." Satrio.

There's no way she's telling me she's Sarah's husband. Their marriage has not yet been registered with the religious office. Their marriage is not official. And this is Sarah's own request. Given the first time when married siri he is still under contract, and does not want to be burdened with married status.

The girl's gaze examined Satrio's face. There was no smile or expression on that face. Datarre...

The look in his eyes made Satrio shudder a little. If you meet this face near the morgue, Satrio will run away. Other natural smells. .. Satrio's mind went everywhere.

" The lab is in the building across the street, sir. You can find it there." Said Girl

"White buildings and blue lists. It's in basemant. Laborat's writing is at the entrance." Add the girl. His name tag reads "kou ce" which Satrio doesn't understand yet, so he doesn't know the girl's name. It is also impossible Satrio invite acquaintances, later thought he was odd, like the spread of charm.

The look in the girl's eyes alone made her shudder in horror. His gaze hit Satrio's heart. Like trying to disarm his mustache and his crest.

His gentler looks were probably what made the girl strange-faced. In Taiwanese men, climists do not like to keep a beard, let alone a mustache as thick as his.

After thanking him with the still stiff mandarin, Satrio headed towards the building across like the direction of the girl.

" I'm sorry Mr. Miss Sarah is on leave. Two days later he entered" said the young woman.

She's a nurse on duty receiving guests who come to visit. Judging from his uniform, it might just be a practice student.

" I'm sorry, can I know the address where he lives..? I'm his relative from Indonesia coming to visit." Satrio.

-- Friends of Miss Sarah..? didn't Nina say she didn't have a brother... Only Miss Sinta who often video calls, or phone calls to the office---- thought the nurse.

" I'm sorry, Sir. Personal information from employees cannot be carelessly given to outsiders" he said.

" I can record a message if you want."

" oh so. Didak. I'll be here in two days. Sure he's gone if I come in two days..?"

" If it is on schedule so sir. Miss Sarah took a week off and two days left."

"alright. Thanks for the information, miss. Excuse me." said Satrio who passed from the waiting room of the laboratory. Satrio's heart was disappointed in his face.

"hhhh, at least I found it. I found your place of work Dik. I will visit you again. Sure oes. Two more days I'm coming again, brother." Satrio's heart.

Satrio waved at the taxi parked next to the Hospital courtyard. He went straight to his dorm. His tired body forced him to lie down and close his eyes. It is better to save energy for tomorrow, he said in his heart.

Today there's a scheduled meeting on campus, but it's late afternoon. So there are still a few hours for him to bend his waist.

The rest of the flight yesterday still feels tired.Satrio went into sleep mode, and lulled into a dream.

" however, the shadow of a handsome-faced child appears in his vision suddenly, like a photo of my childhood." thought Satrio while rubbing his red eyes.

...😴😴😴😴...

Dreamdream...

Sometimes dreams are more beautiful than reality.
