Dara Manisku
The shadows of the past
Dara that afternoon was still in the hamlet. Hugging her pillow tightly, her eyes looked blankly.
“What if Axel finds out who I am? “what will Axel think of me?” Dara thought, suppose that makes Dara worse.
While at Cafe Hoki, the conversation between Axel and Ihsan was getting tense. “Why shut up!” let's quickly tell me, what do you know about Dara?” Axel kept on urging Ihsan.
Ihsan sat quietly in the corner of the cafe,
“ what I have to say, this is a disgrace of people, is it worth me to tell someone's dark past just like that!” Ihsan tried to hold back.
“You are who Dara is? Why should I tell!” with a firm voice Ihsan refused to tell a story.
“You are who!” axel shouted annoyed.
“Excuse me.?.. suddenly the voice of the woman made the quarrel between Ihsan and Axel come to a halt.
“Oh ..iya.maaf.... sister want to order what?” Axel immediately approached the woman in blue uniform.
“Not ..I'm here to find Dara, is Dara there?” it turns out she's Bu Leni's Boss OB.
“Loh ...Mr Ihsan is here too, how are you, sir?” Bu Leni recognized Ihsan and said hello.
“Sorry.. mba who is it?” Ihsan apparently did not recognize Bu Leni.
Bu Leni smiled and sat opposite Ihsan, “mas.Then I ordered the coffee yes" Bu Leni looked at Axel and ordered coffee.
“Begini..tadi brother said want to find Dara? Whose brother is this?” Axel asked politely.
“Oh yes I forgot to introduce myself, I am Leni, commonly called Dara Bu Leni, hehehe... did Dara today not enter work also ?”
“Ooooh...Bu Leni's.... The OB boss? Axel answered understand.
Ihsan also listened, and remembered something."Ooo.turned out he was the OB BOSS that Dara meant at that time". Ihsan.
“ Geez ..masasa BOS siii, hehehe” face Bu Leni so red, blushed called Boss.
“Begini Bu's... Dara is sick, it has been 3 days not entered work.” Axel explained.
“Okee...tadi want to order coffee what?” Ask Axel to Bu Leni
“Anything, hehehe..I have never entered Cafe mas, so do not know what a delicious coffee menu. Bu Leni smiled, explained shyly, that's how the famous Bu Leni is fierce, but when in front of a handsome guy turned into a woo.
“Alright Mom, I will make a special coffee for Boss OB Dara!” in wait yes..”
Axel is very friendly, making visitors to his cafe so at home. “Thank you handsome" replied Bu Leni flirtatious.
“Sorry ...mba sitting here looking for Dara or want to chat with me?” Ihsan was confused to see Bu Leni's behavior. “Begini mba, or mother..?what should I call?” Ask Ihsan
“Call aja Bu Leni Pak, I came here indeed want to find Dara, even though I am fierce as a member, but I love Dara sir, Dara I already consider adek.“ Eeeee ..ga knows I met Mr. Ihsan here" Ms. Leni explained as she touched Ihsan's hand on the table.
Ihsan hurriedly pulled his hand, “I just remembered, So Mother who gave the Gift through Dara right?”
“That's fine, just a pity, sir Ihsan doesn't remember me? but I remember the father, Mr. Ihsan try to remember again, Mr. Ihsan used to help free women from brothels who wanted to be sold abroad 2 years ago". Bu Leni tried to help Ihsan to remember the incident.
In the hamlet where Dara lived, Dara began to be busy lowering all her clothes and put everything in a suitcase. “I have to go from here, I don't want to ..I don't want to see them again!” Dara was packing her clothes while babbling.
Then Dara remembered Axel, how could Dara just leave without telling Axel, “I have to call him" Dara took her phone.
“Nah..this is a special coffee for the kindly Boss Dara, please try.hopefully like ya Bu" Axel put a cup of Capucinoo double Cream chocolate in front of Bu Leni.
Then Hp Axel also reads, “eh..ini from Dara..wait a moment yes Bu...I lift first his phone".
“Thank God he called, from yesterday I called why not keep active his HP?” Ms. Leni was happy to know that Dara could be contacted.
“Iya ..Dara..what's up? Have you been kind? Axel spoke a little loudly, so that Bu Leni would listen.
“Axel ...maafin me yes...I always ngerepotin you ..I say goodbye...” suddenly Dara's voice stopped. And the phone was cut off.
“Wait...Tara..hello ...Dara.!”Axel answered Dara's phone with anxiety.
"Tut tut tut....!" phone voice disconnected.
“ Loh what's with Dara?!” Ms. Leni stood up and panicked.
“How to say what?” ask Ihsan
“Because..that's the last word I heard” Axel replied.
“ Where Dara lives?” Where?” Ihsan asked Dara's address to Axel .
“In the Flats there..near the left red light junction.” Axel answered with great worry while calling Dara many times, but his HP was off. “What's wrong with you Dara, what's wrong?!”
“Come we're there now!” come ..fast!” take Ihsan in a hurry ...
“Come fast ..just close the Cafe!” Bu Leni shook Axel's silent body.
“Wait here.I'll grab the car first!” Ihsan immediately got out of the cafe intending to take the car that was lying across the street.
Before long, Ihsan Axel and Bu Leni arrived at the hamlet where Dara lived. “ Dara...Dara.open the door !..Dara.!” Axel knocked many times, but it turned out that the door was not locked.
“The door is open". Axel was astonished.
“Let's look inside!” Ihsan went straight into Dara's room.
“EEh..her friend Dara ya?” Grandma recognized Axel, because these few days often paced back and forth to Rusun.
“Grandma..does Grandma know where Dara is?” Axel asked while bowing his body .
Bu Leni, Ihsan and Axel all had their eyes on Grandma and could not wait for Grandma's reply.
“Tadi ...Dara said goodbye to Grandma" replied Grandma slowly.
“Then..?” did he say where to go grandma ?” Axel is getting curious, they hope there will be a clue about Dara's whereabouts.
It was unexpected that Varel had been following the three of them since the cafe. Varel kept spying and eavesdropping on Axel's conversation with the grandmother.
“Nek..Dara said no, where are you going?” Axel can't wait for grandma's answer . “Sorry..grandma Don't know, Dara was hugging grandma and then go bring koper”. Grandma replied trembling.
“Yaa..ampun..where is your Dar!” ahhhh!!! Axel was upset while hitting the hamlet wall. Grandma was shocked and frightened.
“Sabar..Patience..!” said Bu Leni trying to calm Axel.
“Sorry my friend yes Nek, thank you for the information, once again thank you" Ihsan said to Grandma.
“Let's find Dara!” Ihsan ran down the stairs, then stopped and looked at Axel “Why silence, come ..Dara must not be far!”
Axel and Bu Leni finally follow Ihsan, they immediately get into the car and start looking for Dara at every bus stop, even getting to the train station.
Day start night, “Where else do we find Dara?” ask Bu Leni desperate, “what time is it?” Ihsan asked Axel who was sitting next to Ihsan.
“Hey...what time.?” I asked what time is it?” Ihsan asked Axel again while turning his eyes to the road because he was driving a car.
But Axel remained silent daydreaming looking out the window.
“Astaghfirullah's... Hey ..what's your name?.Why not answer from earlier!” Ihsan asked Axel's name.
“Axel his name ... if it's not wrong", replied Bu Leni who sat in the back.
Then Ms. Leni patted Axel on the shoulder, “mas.mas.
“Eh yes.ada what?” Axel just woke up from his daydream.
“ You okay?” Tanya Ihsan was worried.
“I'm fine!” Axel replied in a limp tone.
“We should rest first” Ihsan then park his car.
“Sorry... Because it's night so..I say yes, sorry can not come find Dara” Bu Leni finally permission to go home.
“Astaghfirullah..maafin me yes Mom, I forgot the time.iya .iya Bu ..thank you for helping us find Dara” Ihsan feels bad because he forgot the time until Bu Leni had to go home last night.
“Mas Axel ..The Patient yes..don't despair, Dara must have met, I'm sorry first yes mas" Bu Leni saw Axel's face that looks very sad .
“Iya Bu..thank you" that's all you can say from Axel's lips.
Ms. Leni finally came home in a taxi. Ihsan tried to calm Axel down by buying him a soft drink for Axel.
“This....drink first" Ihsan thrust out the soft drink then patted Axel on the shoulder.
“Actually what happened to Dara why did she leave like this?” Axel felt disbelief.
As the two of them were resting at a roadside coffee shop, Axel noticed the owner of the stall was engrossed in watching TV, news of a young woman getting hit by a car around the terminal.
Sontak Axel shocked and scared, “ Hey..Hey...! See it..it's in the news.on Tv!” Axel patted Ihsan on the shoulder many times until Ihsan was shocked and choked on her drinking.
“Yes Allah.uhuk...uhuk..what's up..uhuk...uhuk!” Ihsan immediately turned back and coughed cough.
The two of them listened to the news on TV with a worried heart.
“Recent news, seven o'clock last night there was an accident in front of the terminal of Dadap village, a woman about 21 years old, was killed by a car, our journalist reported from the scene.”.
“Astaghfirullah..what is it..?” Ihsan.
“ no...No...not not ..it is impossible!” Axel with glassy eyes refused to believe.
Who was the woman who was hit by the car? Is that Dara?
