Part 11 - Missed?

"Excuse me, may I know what are you looking for here?"

"I lost my necklace. I was passing by here while dropping off my nephew. Maybe it fell here."

"Can I help you find it?"

"It's fine if it doesn't bother you."

Elsa joins in looking for the necklace the man is looking for. The man who until now she did not know the name. Reluctant to ask. Even though she didn't know the shape of the necklace, he just looked for it.

Finally, Elsa unconsciously saw something behind the grass blocked by rocks. It gleamed a bit as the sun was starting to show itself off. Elsa ​​was a bit surprised when she picked it up. The symbol of the cross is attached to the necklace. But she got rid of curiosity, she immediately asked.

"Excuse me, is this the necklace?" Elsa asked while showing the necklace she found.

"Oh My God, that's right, that's my necklace. This is the necklace that Grandma gave me. It's very precious to me."

"Thank goodness it was found." Said Elsa politely.

"Thank you. Sorry, what's your name?"

"You're welcome. I'm Elsa."

"Oh, yes. I'm Candra. Once again, thank you. I want to pick up Grandma first at church. Sorry, I'll say goodbye first. Thank you, Elsa. I hope we can meet again."

"Oh yes. You're welcome." Elsa said it while bowing slightly.

"Cross? Church? So he's not Muslim?" The question immediately seemed to pop out of his head. His face seemed to have a lot of questions. But she didn't think so. Back, pedaling his yellow bike. Towards the workplace, the color of which cannot be guessed.

"Where have you been? Ten minutes late you know." Nia is fussy about asking.

"Yeah, sorry. I just finished helping people on the street. Looking for the missing necklace. Poor me, I'll help."

"Do you know the person?"

"I don't know. But it's just too bad."

"So? Then? Did you find it?"

"Yes."

"What necklace, Sa?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Oh, don't worry about the story. I also have important news for you."

"What important news?"

"Are you curious? So tell me first. What necklace are you looking for."

"Cross necklace."

"Hah?"

"Yeah. Looks like he's not like us."

"Ehm, that's okay too. Then the name?"

"What's the matter? It's really stupid."

"Yes, I'm curious, Sa. Just say it's very difficult."

"His name is Candra. You already know, right?"

"It's okay. It's normal. Don't be silly."

"Haha... well, what important news did you bring?"

"Oh yes. Alvin. I see he seems to miss you."

"Where did you come up with that?"

"He uploaded his photo while climbing. Then read the caption. I immediately thought of you."

As far as I go

I still don't deny all the worries

Pedestrians always want to be heard

But not just anyone can believe he is a listener

I miss you.

An angel under my rain, whose eyes are shady and shade all worries

Those whose ears are always pleased to hear.

In the shadow of your eyes,

Alvin

"That's right, right? Who else if not you, Sa? You're the one who always seems to be the mother. It's trusted to hear all the stories."

"Even though he is famous for being quiet when he talks privately. But only with you can he talk loudly."

"Sa, don't you miss him too?"

"Sa?" Nia gets confused herself. Seeing Elsa silent.

"Eh, thank you, how are you. I'll change my uniform first."

"Yeee, even run away. I'm not done yet, Elsa!"

"You should make an Instagram or Facebook account. Let me know what's going on!!" While slightly shouting Nia said it.

"Yes. I'll do it later."

"Besides, you two are weird. You already know you like each other. You don't communicate at all. One is selfish and the other is very selfish. Where can I meet you?" babble Nia.

"I'm surprised. You already know Alvin s not here. Isn't there any longing for him, Sa?"

"I'm surprised. I'm annoyed with you!" Nia grumbled while shaking her head.

"Hoho... thanks for worrying me so much. But I'm fine, Ni." Elsa said as if she felt calm, even though her heart was also not willing. It's hard to see Alvin is not there.

"Sa!"

"Yes?"

"Are you not curious, why did Alvin move all of a sudden?"

"Hmm? Why?"

"Don't you know yet? His father, Sa. His father is being talked about a lot in the news."

"Huh? I haven't watched TV yet."

"It's really difficult to have friends, I don't have social media. I don't watch TV. It's a bitch. The first thing to read is a novel, anyway."

"Why is Alvin's father, Ni?"

"Here." Nia shows a news article that is busy on social media.

"Astaghfirullah... Alvin."

"See... see, right? I think Alvim needs your help, Sa. Poor him."

Elsa was silent.

"Alvin? Is it true that you miss me? Why is it like Mom's words were immediately answered today? Is patience turning into the news? Have I been patient? Until the news deserves news?" she muttered.

Will Alvin and Elsa meet again? Even if they meet, are they able to be honest with themselves??

The man was still stunned. He is like a human with half-consciousness. His eyes looked down as if he was looking for something wrong. Not just looking for, but cursing himself.

His face grew sadder, as he looked at the rain. Staring at the rain made him remember the magical girl who loves rain and that night. Yes, none other than her lover. Elsa.

Beloved? Presumably, that night was a bridge to break love. A fatal mistake was made by the man. Alvin.

An early-semester student who is passionate about literature. He is ready to face anyone in the name of defending the truth. The idealistic man, so many people call him.

Alvin was still holding the paper. A birthday card from his girlfriend. A girl who besides being a lover of rain and night. He is also a book lover. Perhaps, through that, they met.
