Mysterious Gus
#34. Phisha Bolos
..."You need to express that sadness even if you have to break tears and end up with your eyes swollen,"...
... Phishas...
The day Ae Ri had arrived, the day of her departure to Paris with Farel and her idol painter, Baek Hyeon. Even Ae Ri was eagerly packing her own things, unlike the usual the servant helped her as she was about to leave.
Now the sweet girl was facing the mirror to notice her simple but charming look with her knee-length skirt and oversized hoodie, plus the strayed hair covered in a hat.
"You look happy," Farel suddenly walked into Ae Ri's room and commented.
"Of course, I never thought that this would happen to me" Ae Ri replied by simply staring at Farel through the reflection of the glass, as the man stood behind him.
"You've tried, you deserve it" Farel said, wiping the girl's head until her hat and hair were broken.
"Opa! You're ruining my hair!" The whining of Ae Ri that made Farel chuckle.
"Why dress so pretty, hm? You dressed up for your idol?"
"Of course not. I'm going to go with my Oppa, so I have to look charming so as not to embarrass you,"
"You're not embarrassing, no matter how you look,"
"Don't say that, Oppa! I'm not gonna change my clothes,"
Farel chuckled at hearing that, it turned out that Ae Ri understood the code that she wanted Ae Ri to change clothes.
"Well, Oppa doesn't forbid you,"
"But your face seems unwilling?" Sinis Ae Ri turned to face Farel.
"Actually I'm not willing, but I don't want to make things difficult for you" Farel said, hugging Ae Ri.
"I'm so flattered for that," Ae Ri returned Farel's embrace.
"Give me one kiss for strength later. Imagining getting on a plane always gets me drunk," spoiled Ae Ri.
"Your mode is exaggerated, bad girl. Without you asking, I'll give you a kiss,"
Sure enough, Farel kissed the face of the sweet girl named Ae Ri repeatedly. Even the girl's cheeks became slightly damp.
"Opa! I only asked for one kiss! My makeup is ruined because of a kiss from you,"
Farel laughed and his hand moved to cupper Ae Ri's cheek, "You will remain beautiful without makeup. We have to leave now. You don't want to make your idol wait long, do you?"
"Of course I don't want to! But I have to fix the ria-"
"No need! You're a very old girl when you dress up. I had been waiting for almost an hour" interrupted Farel and immediately grabbed Ae Ri, taking the girl out of the room.
"You're too much just for waiting for me to get dressed up, Oppa,"
"But that's the truth,"
"Oppa is so annoying,"
"I love you too,"
"I'm not saying that I love Oppa,"
"I also love Ae Riku,"
"Just Oppa!"

At the same time, but in a different place, with an infinite distance. Actually Indonesia.
This morning, the atmosphere in the residence of Hutama was very gloomy, as if there was no life. The inhabitants are many, but all are absorbed in the inertia. Of course it was Farel who just left and did not know where he was.
In the dining room Hutama had gathered with his wife and children, Xander and his wife, RANDA and also santri. They just quietly stared at the dishes available without lust, including Dylan who was usually very noisy.
Long enough with that silence, finally heard a sigh from Hutama. Attention shifts to the homeowner.
"Breakfast!" Tell Hutama.
"How can I eat when I don't know where the Azs are?" Complain Xander.
"You don't eat, it won't change anything. Farel won't like you like this" Mayang commented, then took her husband's breakfast.
"Mrs is still full. Ima to the room again, still sleepy, want to sleep," said Raima rose from her seat and left the dining room.
"Umma hasn't eaten from last night?" Dylan finally opened his voice.
"Eating bread only. You guys just keep eating! Umma let Abah bring food. When you're done, go straight to school,"
"Yes, Bah,"
"I'll be at the office later. Mayang can accompany Raima while I'm gone" Xander said.
"I think the existence of Mayang will make Raima's mood improve," replied Hutama and waltzed away just like that.
"We are also still full" said Afnan stood up and followed by others.
"Wa'alaikumussalam,"
"You learn correctly. This problem will be resolved soon" said Xander who only responded to a nod.
"Today I took an angkot ride. You guys go first" Fisha said as they prepared to board the car.
"Why?"
"After all,"
"Yes, be careful. Assalamu'alaikum,"
"Wa'alaikumussalam,"
One car and four luxury sports bikes passed leaving Fisha. Actually they knew why Fisha wanted to separate. Of course, because he wants to enjoy his sadness. Sometimes sadness is necessary for us to feel. Not always sad we have to cover up.
Fisha sighed and began to walk away from the residence of Pramayudha. Her legs only stepped small, no matter that she was going to be late, because actually Fisha was intending to skip today.
It had been fifteen minutes of his foot stepped and had just arrived at the intersection of the house complex. Sweat began to wash over his temples.
"Where am I going now?" Mumbled Fisha again sighed and stepped indeterminate direction.
Fisha walks over when a car corners her. Faces don't like Fisha showing. Of course, he had walked on the sidelines but was still told to pull over.
The car's glass door opened, revealing the figure of a handsome man behind the wheel.
"Hey, Miss is pink!" Greet the man with a smile that Fisha found very annoying.
"Didn't you remember me?" The man got out of his car and stood straight in front of Fisha.
"Who? Have we met?"
"So you really don't remember me? Ah, it hurt my pride. Just this time someone could forget my handsome face,"
"It seems you're wrong, man,"
"Where might I be wrong. You're the pink-thimared girl. We met at the wedding of Mom and Dad. Asz took you,"
Fisha seemed to think, re-remembering what happened at the wedding of Xander and Mayang.
"You? What do I mean by Gus Farel singing?" Tanya Fisha made sure and answered an enthusiastic nod.
"Finally you remember. Let me make it clear that you never forget me again. My name is Brexley, you can call me Ley,"
"I'm Fisha, not a pink-faced girl. Anyway today my khimarku is white," Fisha replied which made Ley laugh softly.
"What are you doing on the side of the road this early in the morning? You're not in school? I don't think the Asz family will let you be this stranded,"
"I broke away and chose to skip today,"
"Why? Are you saddened by Asz's sudden departure?" Ley's face turned very serious.
"You know that too?"
"Of course,"
"Do you know where he went? Or do you know everything?"
"If I knew where he was, my eyes wouldn't blacken like this" Ley replied in casualness.
"Oh. Keep going, where are you going? You wear school uniforms?"
"I'm just like you, too, skipping. Let's just say Mom and Dad get angry,"
"You coming with me?" Ask Ley.
"Where? Both?"
"To where Asz used to go when he wanted to be alone. Of course both. You take it easy, I'm not gonna fuck around. Even though Asz isn't around, I'm sure there's a Tiam who's secretly watching us,"
"Where does Gus usually go?"
"You'll know when you come with me. Come or not?"
"Come,"
"Okey, let's go!" Ley opened the door for Fisha.
"I'm going to open the roof of the car to make you more comfortable," as if sensitive to the discomfort of Fisha, Ley opened the roof of the car.
"Thank you,"
"Calc with me. From now on we'll meet often" Ley replies and begins to drive her car which Fisha herself does not know the direction of her destination.
