SANDI

13.Leaving…

“Are you really leaving, Yu…?” Asked one of her colleagues that unable to stop the girl from packing her belongings to her travelling suitcase….

“You have been proven innocent…. That bastard, Martin had ben caught…. You don’t have to leave, Yu…” said another, trying to change the decision of the girl to no avail….

****

It is true that one should not make any decision when one is in emotion….

And at the moment, when she finally left alone in her room, as the night was late, she can feel her heart struggling….

As an orphan, she doesn’t know where she should go after resigning from the office that has given her so much…. But to stay is also hard to be done….

And in her emotional turmoil, she steps off her room and looked at the room next to her…. The room that until days ago was occupied by the young man that can make her feel secured and comfortable….

The aroma of his manliness still lingers in the room that was left tidied up by the young mans before he leaves….

And with tears down her puffy eyes, the girl enters the room, climbed on the young man’s bed, hugging the pillow that still reaps the odor of the young man, and weep….

Sandi.... What should I do…? Why do you leave me….? She thought as she sobs and cares the edge of bed that usually supported the body weight of the young man….

She opened her mobile phone and scroll through her photo gallery that stored many photos of the young man she captured candidly, and photos of them together that mostly captured during employees or company gathering….

And then, a notification pops in her mobile….

Huh…? What’s this…? She asked herself in surprise that she was sits abruptly on the bed….

An itinerary of travel plan from a travel agent pops up on her screen that confirm that she was to be picked up tomorrow, and transported to her destination….

I… I didn’t order….? Where is it going…? She thought with rumbling heart

Suddenly her weary was gone and replaced with beating of her heart, anxious, fear, but it seems that there’s a force that makes her feel that the universe shows her the best way for her…

She still had a light headache because she was unable to get much sleep last night, she was unaware when a man, who introduces himself as the driver from the travel, comes to picked her up….

“Miss Ayu...?” Asked the driver, making sure that he was picking the right passenger….

“Ah, yes… I’m Ayu...” She said, nervously, showing the driver the itinerary and her id card to the driver who then helped her with her luggage into the minibus that filled with other passengers that makes Ayu feel relieved and then climbed in the minibus….

She was nervous along the way…. She still can’t believe herself…. She was willingly followed the instructions that could lead her to a trap, but knowing that she has nothing to lose, makes her resign herself to her fate…
