SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Meet After a Long Time

Arga broke through the Redsky checkpoint. The guards did not stop him because they knew who the figure who seemed to be in a hurry. In the back, Ibra ran after him.

Arga rushed over, with his heart pounding incoherently, he stopped. His eyes swept across the space. He even held his breath and continued to look for someone he had wanted to meet for a long time. The girl whose face had been hanging from her eyes.

Syahdu, where is he? Arga's heart wondered as the eyes continued to spread all directions.

Some people seemed to approach him, wanting to shake hands because they could finally meet their favorite singer in person. But Arga ignored them because he did not want to be disturbed at this time.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Arga's busy." It was he who greeted them in place of Arga smiling kindly at the male fan.

Arga finally stopped as his eyes caught a round table filled with two people he knew, Alika and Awan. Just two.

Arga was silent for a moment with a raging mind. He was sure he had been looking for various directions but his eyes did not catch Syahdu. Where's she?

"Syahdu just left." Said Alika who already understood who Arga was looking for.

Without a word, Arga quickly turned around, exiting again in search of Shahdu. He hoped the girl wasn't far away and was still around. He could not deny, at this time in his mind only Syahdu and Syahdu dominated with hope and hope so that he could meet and embrace the girl in his arms again.

"Hey, you have the number Hp Syahdu, right?" Ask Ibra on the Cloud. Than Arga who can not think at this time, Ibra prefers to find a fast track. But the man in front of him shook his head.

"He ain't wearing a HP." Answer Cloud.

"Alamat, deh. Where does she live?" Ask Ibra again. Want Arga's problem to be solved quickly.

The clouds just shrugged, because he had asked too, but Syahdu just smiled without an answer.

Ibra clucked, it turns out Syahdu closed himself. Does that mean he doesn't want to see Arga?

"So, I didn't respond!" Alika complained to Ibra who has been very busy lately.

"Mending lo help find Syahdu, there. He said he's only been here for a week. If in a week you can not meet him with Arga, this golden opportunity will never exist again."

Ibra frowned, "what does that mean?"

The clouds shrugged their shoulders. He did not want to say what Syahdu said that afternoon, that the girl would not return to this city again because she preferred to stay in the village until the end of her life.

Outside, Arga just stood staring at the road that passed by many vehicles. He had already searched many places, but had not also met the girl.

He was obviously disappointed and upset with himself. It could be this great opportunity he just missed. Syahdu returned, isn't this something he's been waiting for all this time? But why can't he reach Syahdu who is already nearby? Syahdu did not want to meet him.

Arga takes a taxi. He won't give up. Seven years is not an easy thing to live alone. He's not gonna waste this anymore. For a second he did not want to miss. He will continue to seek Shahdu. He had to meet the girl who had been in power in his heart for all those years.

By taxi, Arga drove around the city. His eyes were not off the road for a second. Ibra also called him many times, but Arga had told him not to call if it was not about Syahdu.

After hours, and the night thickens, Arga decides to go home to her apartment. Who knows if Shahdu is there. Who knows, the girl is waiting for him there. Immediately Arga told the driver to drive the car at high speed so that he could get there quickly.

...🍁...

Arga asked for his schedule to be vacated today. He had wanted to find Syahdu, but he did not know where to go until he decided to take Popi a morning walk around the city park as well as helping his glassy mind subside a little.

He wears a leather jacket and a black mask, carrying a capi with a rope. The little dog looked happy. A little run with a wagging tail. The last time the little dog went for a walk was about two weeks ago with Shania. And now, finally he can go out of the house again with his oldest employer.

Arga stopped by one of the coffee trucks because since this morning he had not touched the caffeinated drinks as he used to do.

"Americano one."

The waiter was silent for a moment, watching the man standing perfectly handsome that he could see even though the man was wearing a mask. He did not blink, then nodded and made his message.

"Thank you." Said the man while giving him a piece of red money. "Take the change."

"Sister.. The arga?"

Arga shook his head. "Not."

The waiter nodded slowly even though his eyes could not be separated from Arga. It seems he's not sure of Arga's answer.

Arga also just passed without caring about his surroundings. Because today he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone. Since last night did not meet Syahdu, his feelings can not be described as bad as what is currently.

Arga walked back to relax. His left hand held the rope. His right hand holds a cup of hot coffee.

"Aarrkhc.. The hat!" Shouted Arga calling his dog who suddenly ran somewhere. Arga chased after him, trying to break through people on foot.

Arga's steps stopped when he saw the little dog he presented to Syahdu had also stopped just below the feet of a short-haired girl.

The girl crouched down, then carried Popi in her arms. A grim smile and happy look on the face of the girl who now makes Arga can not move.

The silent Arga realized who the woman who was holding the Popi. He knows his face from every angle. Especially the smile she knew so well.

Arga's heart trembled, and even his heart beat so fast that the coffee in his hand fell on his white shoes. His eyes were locked on the figure he had been looking for all this time.

Arga feeling like he could not feel anymore when the girl was also now staring at him.

Time seems to stop. The eyes of the two met, they stared at each other for quite a long time, emitting a warm longing that currently dominated within the two of them. When he did not want to walk, he stopped just as the shady face that Arga longed for was clearly visible in front of him.

Done it.
