1 month later...


“Coffee?” Tawar Dimas handed a cup of coffee dimug white to Angga who had observed that he was sitting quietly in front of the television, he was seen watching a television show but when Dimas observed Angga still remained on the same channel despite being showing advertisements. Dimas is sure if not Angga who watches television, but he was the one who was watched by the television.


“Still not met him?” Tanya Dimas then sat next to Angga while sipping slowly his drink, Angga just stared at his coffee glass “said people miss it beautiful, but for me this tortures.” he said slowly, he said, Dimas just glanced and clucked “Melly Goeslaw, worried.” his mumbling and chuckling, Angga just silently ignored Dimas's mutterings, the fact is how many times he played the song that Dimas mentioned earlier.


A moment later the main door opened and the sound of Satya's greeting was heard and then both of them replied.


“Against relaxing nih?” Satya asked then laughed as she looked at the 2 white mugs on the table.


“Mama Papa” Laughter Satya points to a ceramic cup on the table.


Dimas and Angga were just confused looking at Satya who laughed while pointing towards their drinking mug, then realized if their mug was a mug of a couple bearing the word mama papa, and then the mug, Dimas glared at that while Angga just stared at Satya who was still chuckling.


"It's romantic that my Mom Papa watches television with a partner's mug." Ledek Satya still with a laugh that was so annoying, Dimas suddenly took his glass and went to the kitchen and returned with another mug. "Kok replaced Mas, romantic loh. You remember I used to think you two were gay." Dimas approached Satya and kicked his calf.


"Aw! Bujang sick!" Umpat Satya while rubbing his shin. "Mistake yourself still talking about you who thinks I'm her boyfriend. Haaaah, how could you think that." Satya laughed a little.


"Latest news! There was a case that shocked the public because of the rise of school students who fell ill." The television behind Satya displayed the latest news and caught their attention.


“Eh greatin little volume, you step aside don't block me from watching!” Satya sat on the left of Angga because of the expulsion of Dimas.


“Some school students reported by local health workers have decreased health, the cause is still unknown. Reports from medical personnel are still in the form of immune decline due to flu, but not the flu*** or bird flu, is still a mystery. School activities were delayed because some students were allowed not to enter school.” Clearly the news anchor on the television station.


“SARS is it?” tanya Dimas “ seems not deh, because only school children, if SARS must have transmitted to others.” Obviously Angga then dengangued rubbing the tip of his chin with his index finger.


“Any..” Angga's human, "if this is a disease virus why only attack young people? there were parents there but why did everyone suffer from school." Angga looked at his two friends.


"I feel familiar, wait a minute I have new info about the Filipino woman." Satya took out the contents of her bag in the form of a small laptop. "Take a look at this case, which occurred in 2010 in the Philippines. I'll briefly interpret the article first."


"He moved to Indonesia instead of 2000?" Satya shook her head, "not moving, she's just on a business trip, her nationality is still Filipino, which makes me wonder, she has a lot of cases in her home country but she can still be free in and out of a country, no deportation or anything like that from Indonesia." Satya bobbing head.


"you know, it seems like there are a lot of important parties protecting him."


They read again and were shocked by the content of the article, exactly what was reported just now. "Is this not really his plan, so it's true that I don't think I'm far off on drugs." Angga.


“Vice evil once if this is true this is his plan, let alone their target of the younger generation." Dimas shook his head inexhaustibly.


"Ang, have you really not met that woman?” Angga raised both eyebrows, "whose woman?" "had asked him, yes that woman you miss now, I don't want to call it weird that you hit me again later." Dimas rubbed the part where Angga had hit him hard to bruise and became an endless question from people in the office and at his home.


"Oh.." Angga just answered Dimas's question with a head bob, “why indeed?” tanya Satya tries to find an excuse from Dimas.


“We can ask him if there is any suspicious activity from his mother.” Satya thinned her lips and gulped, she intended to tell Angga if all this time she knew of the existence of Kejora.


“Mas, don't get mad ya.” His words made the two people next to him stare confusedly.


Then Satya recounted if it had been 2 months he met Kejora at a village border department store and a city that was different districts, areas that were not so densely populated and far from the city crowd.


"2 months ago, and you were quiet?! Even just telling a story now?!" Satya gulped and rubbed her nape as Angga looked angry at her.


"A..I. Just obey the request of the Morning Maid." His words then bowed because he did not expect Angga would be angry like that. "I said don't be angry." Said slowly.


 


"You don't get mad, hey! he's not wrong." Angga was aware of his actions and looked towards Satya who was still looking at him in fear.


"Heemhh, Sorry Sat.. I shouldn't be angry like that." Angga said later, "now tell me, where is he."


Angga stood looking at Kejora who was joking with his partner who had just come, Angga knew it was his partner because they were wearing the same uniform, the sweet smile strewn across the face of Kejora, the, a smile that makes Angga's heart feel comfortable and will never get bored if you have to see it every day.


Kejora justifies his jacket and tells his co-worker, Kejora today gets a day shift, so he can already go home at 7pm. He waved his hand before opening the shop door to go home.


Just 3 steps from the shop door, he stopped and was stunned when he saw a figure that he had not met for almost 2 months, a figure that haunted him every night and gave him a strange and tight feeling in his chest, a figure she was very difficult to admit if she missed him so much.


The figure of the man now smiled when he saw Kejora realized his existence.


“Hai, how are you?” Tanya Angga walked closer to the Kejora who was just silently staring at him.


“I'm Angga, not a ghost.” Candanya looked at the girl in front of her who was slightly looking up because of their height difference.


"Why are you here?"


“Why did you stay away from me?”


"Why didn't you tell me?"


"Why did you disappear?"


Angga showered the Kejora with various questions. The Kejora only sighed and resuscitated his mind that was just now watching.


“Why are you looking for me?”


“I miss you.” Kejora turned his face helplessly at the gaze of Angga that he so longed for.


“I was looking for you, even I asked Mr. Baskara about you, but he just insulted me. I want to see Madam Den but it's very difficult to meet her, I asked Eric, you can ask him how many times I have gone to see her to make sure you are.” Kejora still turned his face even though he was sad to hear Angga's explanation.


"Why lookin' for me? Is it because of your mission? If I did, I wouldn't help you anymore, I'd rather be stuck in a life like that forever."


"Don't.don't say it like it's a Kejora." Angga saw Kejora who still threw his gaze in another direction.


"I'm looking for you because every sleep I'm haunted by discomfort because there are so many thoughts that only you are in it, what are you doing, are you okay. It comes to me every night." Obviously Angga, "is that what you miss?" He continued, "i'm just trying to find a cure for that feeling, which is to look for you."


“I don't deserve you Ang, you're the son of a respected even far from my guess.”


“Means?”


“Then why?” Kejora looks into Angga's eyes “care other women Ang, others.. Don't be someone like me.”


“What are you why?”


“I'm a prostitute, I'm a despicable woman, I'm disgusting you know?!”


Angga staring at nanar “terus? Have I ever complained about that? I knew it from the beginning Ke, and was I wrong if my heart fell on you?”


Kejora sighed longly regulating the erratic rumble in his heart, “Angga half of the contents of this world women, look for a woman better than me, who deserves to be with you.”


Angga still stared at the girl in front of him. “Kejora, what is half the world for? If they are nothing like you? All I want is you.”


Stunned Kejora heard Angga's words, he inhaled a deep breath and exhaled it.


“Go home, I'm tired.” He said after they were long silent.


“Madam Den started launching the action.” Clearly Angga and stop the steps of Kejora who intend to leave him.


“If you saw the news this afternoon, it was one of his plans.” Kejora frowned “then what does that have to do with me? I told you I don't want to work with your mission anymore.”


Angga stared at Kejora “Ke, I came with full confidence to save you from there, not only that, the woman was planning to damage the younger generation of this country, do you still not want to help me?”


Kejora could not say anything, I don't know what he had to do, almost 2 months he tried to control what was in his heart but this man in front of him screwed everything up in a matter of minutes.


A professional? Even he himself could not implement what he had asked Angga.


They are now sitting together in front of the department store where Kejora works, the department store has closed even Kejora's coworkers were shocked when they saw Kejora was still there.


From earlier they just kept quiet with a crowd of several vehicles from shop visitors who came and went until now the atmosphere became quiet because the store was closed earlier.


But the others, subconsciously they enjoy their silent atmosphere. At least they have met and become the cure for the feeling of longing they have.


“Pak Baskara said to me if you're not with him, why?”


“I asked Madam Den, Mr. Bas was rude to me and Madam Den disliked it, so she got another replacement, and I asked for some time off to recover my psychic condition.”


“What did he do to you?” Angga was angry to hear the words of Kejora, seeing that Kejora only turned his eyes to the expanse of rice fields that were right across the highway in front of the store was standing.


“I'm fine I'm alive.”


“Cih!” umpat Angga angry, “I make sure that old Baskara was over and rotting in jail.” The cruelty does not bother him, he just thinks if Pak Bas is just another reason, for the real reason who else if not for Angga.


Since he came and gave a hope to Kejora for the darkness of life that he had long felt, since then Kejora harbors other feelings, moreover it turns out Angga also has that feeling.


Merely, Kejora felt unworthy to be with him, Angga was too good even an impossible thing for him to have. He tries to professional with a plan, until at some point he can be free and lead a normal life, at which point he decides to completely go and disappear from anything related to Angga.


“Esok I picked up Madam Den, I'll go back to work with her.”


“I'm curious, may I ask?” The Kejora turned his head cursory towards Angga and nodded slowly.


“He let you go all this time, then what exactly is your job?”


Kejora smiles knot, “prostitution and nightclub are just a guise, her business is actually bigger than that, she uses the club for her business marketing and prostitution to lure and conquer the parties she needs. That's the job of escorts like me." Obviously Kejora without looking at Angga, "Escorter's job is more despicable than the whore herself." Clearly laughing cynically.


"If so far I used Madam Den just to control the Baskara, to remain under the power of Madam Den." It was clear his sniveling cynically bemoaned his sinful duty.


"Auction procurement is just their game to hold their meeting event, every time there is an auction event there must be a big meeting on the top floor." Angga recalled the right hand of the former guberbur who was there during the auction event, increasingly making him sure if the former governor at that time.


"At that time Mr. Bas could not attend, so I was surprised when there were others who dared to bid me that high, usually if Mr. Bas had spoken about the nominal number, usually if the number, no one else will dare to bid.” Angga just grunted quietly.


“Only when the auction you can meet Madam Den, and if you realize, you will see some people who are his accomplices there, he is very difficult to find if not the auction day.”


Kejora was silent for a moment, “ when I was 18 years old, I used to conquer Pak Bas and became his escorter for 5 years to keep Pak Bas solid with Madam Den. I was almost desperate and planning to commit suicide, and there was Bu Widi coming to my aid.” Angga stunned to hear a new story about Kejora “I can not give up, I want to meet my parents in a good place.” Kejora turned his head and smiled faintly towards Angga.


‘deg’ there is an erratic pulsation that Angga felt when he saw that smile. “Pak Bas has repeatedly forced me to meet outside of work hours and even hurt me, lucky Madam Den would defend me and a few days ago, he said, it was his last chance and I missed the old man even though he didn't want to.”


There was a feeling of excitement to hear that but Angga also felt pain because Kejora had to go through that pain at his young age. “I still have to be careful to him, he was too maniacal towards me, he was too maniacal towards me, even Mom hates it so much if I tell her about Mr. Bas.”


“Let me protect you Kejora, let me be by your side, I will protect you.” Kejora shook slowly “our lives are different Angga, I can not enter your life.”


Angga is very sad to hear that “say once, do you like me too?” Angga waited answered Kejora with hope, Kejora just stared flatly at the scenery in front of him, seeing that Angga was bowed lethargic.


“*Sure I also like you*.” Inner and turning “I don't know.” His reply was short, Angga raised his face and could only smile faintly, a smile that Kejora read as a disappointed smile.


“Can I see you tomorrow?” Kejora shook her head “jangan, tomorrow Madam Den picked me up in the morning. Today is the last day I work in the store, even I already say goodbye.” Obviously the Kejora when they reach a house where the Kejora is temporarily staying.


“You've packed?” Kejora nodded, “come home, it's late.” Kejora said asking Angga to go home, Angga observed the small house where they stand today, the house that Kejora said belonged to Madam Den.


“You don't need friends? Looks kinda haunted.” Angga pointed to the house, Kejora pinched his forehead “gak need mode deh.” Angga chuckles “no, I only argue and give you advice if afraid I want to accompany you, do not think strange. I'm not gonna do anything. Just look at you I'm happy.” Angga showed her rows of teeth, seeing Angga's cheerful smile there was a warm feeling in Kejora's heart, she just rolled her eyeballs and turned to open the fence.


“I've lived here 2 months and alone yes mas-mas mode.” Angga laughed loudly hearing the name for him.


“Go home..” Angga gave the code okay with his hand and stepped back while waving his hand.


“Please pick up your phone if I call!” exciting Angga “sttt..” Kejora covered his mouth with his index finger as a gesture to Angga not to be noisy.


As far as Angga, Kejora leaned against the door after stepping into the house. He held his chest and smiled but found out that they could not be in the same future, unknowingly the tears trickled down his cheeks


“God, this has become very difficult for me.” His body fell and sat down.
