Behind The Divorce
Chapter 21. Be Like You

The clock's fast-spinning needle doesn't want to know, the current time shows at 11:35 AM. Lean was already standing at the door of Saskia's apartment. I don't know how many times he rang the bell there, but there was no answer at all that he got. Lean hasn't given up yet and she's tried a few more times until the hour hand is exactly on the number 12.

Not wanting to think for himself which is not necessarily true, Lean then stood there for a while waiting for something he could get. Coincidentally not long after, the door of the apartment across from the Saskia apartment unit opened and a young man came out of it. From the face alone it is clearly visible if the age is far below Lean, about 19 years.

As quickly as lightning Lean approached the person and asked the whereabouts of her room neighbor.

“Oh, less know, Kak.”

The young man replied origin and was about to pass because he looked rushed. However, a second later he turned around and looked at Lean as if he wanted to confirm something. The next second the young man's eyes were puffed up with a gaping mouth and disbelief.

He bowed repeatedly and apologized to Lean. “Sorry, Sir. I am sorry for being disrespectful. Again sorry.”

When recognizing who the person standing in front of him at that time, the young man who had looked indifferent, now was so reluctant to even lift his face just did not.

“Oh, it's okay. You made no mistake and no need to apologize.” Lean patted the shoulder of the young man who turned out to be a student. “I just want to know the owner of the place next door. Really don't see it?” ask Lean again.

“Meanor, Brother Kia?” ask the young man back and Lean nodded. “It looks like last night Kak Kia and her friend did not come home, sir. Last I saw, they left yesterday afternoon, Mr.” He spoke while looking down.

“Do you know where they are going?” Lean was not satisfied with the answer she got.

The young man shook his head. “Sorry, but I don't know, Mr.”

Lean nodded then she thought for a moment. “Can you help me? I'll give you any money you want.”

The young man reflexively raised his gaze while shaking both hands in front of his chest.

“No, Sir! No need to give me money. My family's money is plenty too. But if I may ask something from you, I'll just ask for your signature, Sir. Can I get it?” The young man's words made Lean's forehead shrivel.

“But I am not an artist,” replied Lean flat.

“But I idolize you, Sir. I'd like to be like you at a later date.” His answer made Lean go silent for a moment.

What's so good about being like me? There has never been a woman who truly loved me sincerely.

“Can I get your signature?” the young man asked once more.

“Now what should I do, Mister?” tanyanya is excited complete with a smile. This Kalia he began to dare to look at Lean.

Lean handed her a business card. “This is my business card and there is already a phone number in it. Please call that number if you see the owner of this apartment back. Can, ‘kan?”

The young man nodded a few times. “Of course you can, Sir. Ready to perform the task of, you. And thanks for the signature. Excuse me first, sir. It's too late to campus.”

He looked down saluted Lean and soon passed from there, followed by Lean walking leisurely behind him. No, not relaxed but slow and uninspired as it did not manage to find Caitlyn.

“What will I say to grandma?” Kicking the air like a fool.

From Saskia's apartment, Lean returned to the office to attend a meeting at 2. Today was hard for Lean to do.

...***...

Time chasing each other and racing to leave the day, the pitchman returned to greet the earth. In a private room hidden in his workspace, Lean was standing facing a large transparent glass and showing a view of the city at night.

Her heart wanted to return home, but she was afraid of not having the answer to see her grandmother. Besides, Lean also did not want to remember the quarrel yesterday. The handsome-looking man stared at the screen of the cellphone that had been in his grasp.

He was a little uneasy because he had not received any news from the young man who became a neighbor of Saskia's room. Lean had tried to contact Caitlyn this morning, but the woman's number could not be reached.

Saturated waiting for news from the young man he met earlier, Lean finally threw a cellphone into a large bed in the room and he also threw himself there. Just about to close his eyes, the sound of the incoming notification made Lean rise. The next second he stood grabbing the car keys and ran a little out of there.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at Saskia's apartment. Lean got out of the car while still running small to the apartment unit of a friend of the woman who made her chaotic since yesterday.

His hand hit the apartment bell impatiently. Not long after that Saskia came out and the two stared at each other fiercely.

“Where is Caitlyn?”
