(Kayshila)
I've been awake since morning. The nurse has repeatedly entered the room to check on me and deliver breakfast. I could see the overcast clouds outside through the enormous window pane. Then slowly the rain wet the glass window. Even though it feels like taking a walkout. The smell of rusty iron and pooling water was in my nose.
Meanwhile, Ishan looks busy with his cellphone. His eyes look gloomy. On the sidelines, he played with his cell phone; his eyes continually glanced at me. He led me to the bathroom many times. He also forbade me to lock the bathroom.
"Ishan."
"Hmmm." he muttered.
"I'm bored. I want to walk down the hall."
"Ever since you came to this hospital, there have been reporters and visitors or nurses who suddenly became paparazzi." he explained. Ishan approached me, still looking at his phone screen. "Here see." He gave his cell phone to me. There is a photo of Ishan himself with vario
(Davendra)I threw the gray velvet blanket up to my feet. Then I sat and looked around. Still quiet. There was no fuss either in the kitchen or in the bathroom. Usually, Citra is already noisy in the kitchen or the bathroom. I always sleep in front of the TV, on the couch. I walked to the balcony and opened the window. The morning air that comes in makes my mood always good. Unintentionally, I yawned twice. In between yawning, Citra opened the door to her room. Her looks and hair are tousled. Her face without make-up always makes my skin crawl because her face is always beautiful like that, especially if you speak with different expressions."OMG." She was surprised when I emerged from the balcony and approached her."Hi.""You were here last night?" she asked as she entered the bathroom. What she usually does."Yes. I'll be here at half past three." I answered. My voice is screaming because she's in the bathroom. Cit
(Kayshila)The next morning,When I woke up from my sleep, I found Ishan asleep in the lounge chair near the balcony. I thought he didn't come to my apartment because he wasn't there all night. It was unusual for him to fall asleep on the floor like this. Could it be that he had fallen asleep on the couch and then moved over to it? I saw the sofa in front of the TV was a mess. The pillow fell, and the blanket was scattered."The air here is so cool and fresh." said Ishan, closing his eyes. "Your sense was good to choosing this apartment and the position of the balcony."Since today is Sunday, usually neither of us has any plans. I had time to stop by Rangga's tower accompanied by Ishan and have breakfast there. After breakfast, I know, Ishan got a call from Teguh and had time to go out for a while. Then he didn't come back until tonight and the next few days.I only got three chats over the past few days.ishan
(Kayshila)After passing approximately eight hours of traveling from Jakarta to Ninoy Aquino International airport in Manila, it was already eight in the morning. Manila is more or less the same as Jakarta. The difference is in Manila; the city has many European buildings that are still well preserved, the former Spanish colony. I was stunned in the taxi with my sunglasses. Finally, we arrived at a big hotel. Ishan only took about ten minutes to confirm the hotel room he had booked. He is seen holding his hotel room card. And come… Ishan opened his hotel door wide so I could enter our luggage. I was stunned. Gaze."Do you like it?" Ishan asked proudly.How can I not like it? When the door opened, there was a large living room spread out and to the right was a large window covered in a white curtain. Under the large window was a Jacuzzi. I can see the city view fro
(Kayshila) I sat in a small cafe that was not too crowded. Edric gave me the address on a piece of paper when I turn back to the hotel from the park around the hotel that time after breakfast. He asked me to meet him. At first, Ishan wanted to accompany me, but I refused. "I don't believe in him. He looks like a bad guy." quipped Ishan that time in the room when I was getting ready to leave. "Ishan, I know that." "If you already know, why do you still want to meet him?" Ishan looks sulky. I just smiled at Ishan and then closed the hotel room door. I stared at Edric for a long time. He didn't even start the conversation. My hands are sweating cold. "How are you?" Finally, I asked. "Not good," he answered. I frowned. "Why?" "I didn't find you in our apartment." Oh, does he feel he still has me? "It's been almost a year since I moved. Since you left me
(Davendra)In my sleep, I can feel Citra hugging me very tightly. Her breath felt warm against my chest. She curled up in the cold and pulled up the thick blanket. Suddenly, she sat up and looked around. Maybe she saw me sleeping and bare-chested. Then she immediately got off and ran to the bathroom. I was still half-conscious when Citra woke up and tried to fall back asleep because I was very sleepy. But the noise in the toilet bothered me.I quickly took off the covers and stepped into the bathroom. Citra is sitting in front of the toilet. She vomited all the contents of her stomach. I stroked her back to the back of her neck and gave her a bottle of mineral water. She grabbed it and took a sip."There's still some wine left, and you can finish it." I quipped. Citra didn't answer me. She was busy taking deep breaths and exhaling them many times to keep from throwing up again. Instantly, she stood up and returned to the bed and wr
(Kayshila)After Manila, I didn't meet Ishan because he had to return to Singapore for business. I'm used to it, so I can focus on other things. Today, the air conditioner in the building is very cold. Maybe it's because it's raining hard outside. Inggrid and I walked as usual to our office after lunch in the building's cafeteria. I found someone familiar standing in the middle of the downstairs lobby as we were about to head for the elevator. Edric. He seemed to be waiting for me while holding his phone. I walked over to her holding Ingrid's hand for her to follow me."Why are you here?" I asked bluntly and looked displeased, curious at the same time. Inggrid was still confused."I'm waiting for you. After we met in Manila, I thought, you unblocked my number." Edric smiled. His smile made me swoon and made the hairs on my neck stand on end. I let go of Ingrid's hand that I had been holding."What's wrong with wanting to mee
(Kayshila)This morning was very warm, maybe because I forgot to close the curtains on the bedroom window that hung in front of me. So the sunlight had entered the room. Actually, there is something strange. Ever since I opened my eyes, something has hit my body. I spread the blanket and looked inside. A big hand wrapped around my waist. Instantly I sat up and looked beside me; Ishan?!"Hmm, Citra. Don't disturb me while I sleep," he said, annoyed, and turned his back to me. I could feel his tired voice. For a while, I could only see his back and got out of bed. Ishan didn't move at all. He's sleeping soundly. It occurred to me why I was in his room last night. He must have thought that I was thinking about him when I texted him.I saw his suitcase lying in his dressing room and opened it. It looks full from the outside. It turns out that his clothes were deliberately piled up and not folded. I took it all out and
(Kirana)I fumbled for my cell phone, which was ringing loudly. Not an alarm but an incoming call."Hello.""Morning, Citra."I looked at my phone screen, and there was a regular phone number on it. Her voice is like Ishan's Mama. My brain is still not working."Morning," I replied lazily while rubbing my eyes."Sorry, I woke up early. You don't have to go home this morning?" Oh yeah, right. This is Mama Ishan's voice."Why, Mrs.?""Daven said he had business.""Oh, I see…."Why is Ishan on business and not informing me directly? Why did his mother have to call me?"If Daven can't, let me just go there." I offer."Coincidentally, Auntie and Om have urgent business." Mama Ishan's voice was a bit different. "Alright then. Please continue your sleep."Mama Ishan hung up the phone quickly. I fell back asleep until noon, and my phone rang again."Hello."
(Kayshila)I looked at my watch many times and even looked at my phone screen where there were no notifications. There are no incoming calls."Davendra, where are you?" asked Mama Ishan calling her son in a whisper even in front of me. I can still hear his voice clearly. "Oh, I see... so you can't take Citra?" Mama Ishan looks disappointed. She immediately turned off his phone and looked at me."Daven said he was busy. He also said that many have delivered." Mama Ishan looked down languidly. I smiled at her, indicating that everything was fine."It's okay, Auntie. It's busy. Yesterday you told me." I gave an explanation. Lie. Rangga and Cath looked at me with strange looks. They knew that Ishan and I had a fight because
(Davendra)Since Citra decided to go to Manila these few days, she has been busy. Working overtime to prepare preparations at the Manila branch office. But tonight, when I came home and opened the door to her apartment, an unusual sight caught me off guard. I stood still standing near the door. The whole apartment was a mess. Her belongings are scattered."Ishan. You coming home?" greeting her."What is this?" I looked around the whole apartment."Mr. Dewa called me saying I have to get ready. Tickets are booked.""You're leaving soon?" I asked."Yes. Day after tomorrow," she answered happily.I am quiet. I took off my blazer and walked into her messy room. I sat looking at some of the things in her room. In fact, I haven't given her my answer yet, whether I allow it or not. I'm her fiancé.I can see Citra busy with her things from the room."What will you bring?" I half-shouted.
(Kayshila)When I put my bag on the desk, Lashira came up to me."You're wanted in the group.""Oh yes?" I opened my bag and reached for my cell phone, which was in my bag. Then carefully unlocked my phone. It turns out that there will be an urgent meeting in my division group that is very urgent. I hurriedly grabbed the little book I always carried to appointments and ran towards the big meeting room. Everyone had gathered, including Mrs Sarah, who was sitting pretty next to the other team."Well then, our Senior Project Manager has arrived." said one of the team, a thin and slightly pale man."We're just waitin
(Kayshila) During the day, police station, I thought the police station would be as quiet as I thought it would be. It turned out to be very busy here. I came to the police station accompanied by Mr. Anton, the lawyer for the Ishan company. He is very friendly. On my trip with him, I was told some of the possibilities that Meira and Edric would face. That, too, depends on me. It depends on the information I convey later. I followed a cop in a polo shirt draping his ID around a room. Well, this room is cold. There were only three tables inside. Neatly arranged, and there is a rather large aquarium at the end. Two scribbled whiteboards. The polo shirt cop told me to sit in a single soft chair. It was seven o'clock in the evening, and there were only three of us. "How are you, Miss Kayshila?" friendly greeting. His gaze was serious. Occasionally look at me carefully. "I'm better than yesterday, Sir." "I'm R
(Kayshila)Doctor Silva just hugged me warmly. Calms me down."You've changed a lot, Kay. Feel happiness and joy," she said with a smile. My eyes glaze over."Can I come here if I want to chat?""Sure, Kay. Anytime."Doctor Silva escorted us to the outside door. The appearance is neat but looks relaxed. Not like a doctor in general. Maybe because Doctor Silva is a psychiatrist. On the way, Ishan and I didn't utter a word. Ishan's gaze was straight ahead. He was too focused on the street. For some reason, our silence makes me sleepy. As I started to close my eyes, Ishan spoke."Citra," call him."Hmmm." I just mumbled."From now on, can you be honest with me?""About what?""Everything. There's nothing to hide.""I have nothing to hide. Did you hear everything?""Yes.""Was there a problem after you heard my confession?""There is.""What's that?"
(Kayshila)I sat lazily on the couch in front of the TV. Putting my feet on the table and sipping my green tea. Last night I just got out of the hospital, about five days I was hospitalized there. I should have been out on the third day because I was healthy and ready to work. However, Ishan added two more days for me to rest. Every time I go to the hospital, I always recover quickly. Although some parts of my body hurt. I can handle that. I don't think the pain I experienced was as painful as my previous trauma. Formerly? Have I recovered from my past trauma? I grabbed the phone that was on the table. One week has passed since the incident."Hello, Afternoon Doc." my greeting is friendly."Afternoon, Kayshila," she replied. Her voice was a little hoarse, maybe after waking up."Does the doctor have this day off?" I asked."Not available. Maybe I'll go shopping. What's wrong, Kay? Are you alright? I heard you….
(POV)Edric and Meira are placed in different small prisons. Stay next door. The difference is that the small jail on the left is filled with temporary prisoners whose contents are male, while the one on the right is filled with temporary prisoners whose contents are all women. Edric roared in prison. All his words cursed Meira."Watch out, you crazy girl! Psychopath! Watch out if Citra dies! I will tell everything to the police so that your punishment is heavier than mine!!" he shouted. His face was pressed between the bars so that his voice could come out and be heard to the prison next door. Meira heard Edric's scream. She sat on the left side of the women's prison. His face was flat, and there was no remorse in her. Now and then, he takes a deep breath and hides his smile. Sometimes his face looks sad. Maybe the thought of her actions getting caught and this would weigh her down. Her dream of becoming a professional violinist has been
(Davendra)My legs are weak, but I try to be strong. I waited for Citra outside the operating room. I waited almost an hour. After that, Cath came rushing to carry Aurora. This morning Catherine was too stressed to think about Citra. Catherine told me that every time she got a call from someone telling her that Citra was in the hospital or that she found her unconscious, she tried to commit suicide."I can breathe a sigh of relief when Citra gets to know you," Cath said. Her eyes are sad. "I see; she is always dependent on you."Catherine holds my hand. She was gripping it."At first, Rangga didn't agree with Citra having a relationship with you. But I convinced Rangga to let Citra make her own choices." Catherine smiled at me. Her face is beautiful.She speaks Indonesian fluently, even barely standard. Meanwhile, Rangga was seen looking at his cellphone screen with Aurora watching something. Aurora w
(Davendra)When Citra was lost,My cell phone rang and woke me up—half-past two in the afternoon. I slept well last night. I don't know if this is because Citra accepted my proposal and I feel calm. When I woke up, my cell phone didn't stop ringing. I sat up in shock."Hello," I answered lazily."Bro, where are you?" asked one of my close friends. Although not very close, we are close enough. I don't know why Randy called me even though I belonged to the one who had not hung out at clubbing or any bar with him."Hmm… I'm in the apartment."I started to stand up, took a glass of mineral water, and drank it straight. I opened the bedroom door and checked whether Citra was awake or not because the apartment's condition when I woke up seemed quiet. There was no sound."Do you have an apartment?" asked Randy curiously."Yes, my fiance's apartment.""Which one was yo
