Aji, who had always been watching her sister, Jeny, when she was talking to her mother, about Elisha, was worried. But, because his health had not recovered properly, he was unable to go anywhere, and could not do anything either.
"What's wrong with him, why disappear and never tell? or was it yesterday, I'm being outrageous with my attitude towards her?"
Aji, wondering in her own heart, with the disappearance of Elisha. In fact, almost every day, for the last two weeks, he was with her. He felt lost the cheerful figure of Elisha and what it was.
"Where are you El, why don't you say, if there's a problem?" Aji, ask herself again.
"Sister!"
Suddenly, Jeny came along with her. Aji who was daydreaming, became surprised. "Yes Jen. What's up?" aji asked, after neutralizing it back, his shocked face.
"Rulisa."
"Why Elisa?" aji asked, with her eyes closed.
"It turns out he's applying for college leave. There are problems with semester payments as well. What was that night, when he said he wanted to call his father, right?" jeny asked, reminding her brother, Aji.
Aji, silently listened to Jeny, who was saying the search results earlier, at the campus together with Rio.
"You checked on campus?"
"Yes Brother. I'm the same Rio, asking directly to the campus administration officer. And I also asked for the full address of his house, which is in the village."
Aji, frowning, thinks that she could have come to Elisha's house, being escorted by the driver.
"So, Rio I've asked, to ask for help from the house person or his friends, to find out about Elisha. Their home is one area, though not near."
The explanation from his sister, made Aji, a little more relieved. Although in truth, he was eager to come check it out for himself.
"What Rio, is it working?" aji asked, ascertaining whether her sister's plan, along with her friend Rio, was really mature.
"Yes," replied Jeny shortly.
The two, Aji and also Jeny, let out a long sigh. They are silent and think with their own assumptions.
Jeny, thinking if Elisha was in his village, while Aji thought that if, the character of Elisha, it is impossible to give up and go home just like that.
"He must still be in Jakarta. But not on which side?" batin Aji sure.

Classical music flows from its place. Music that usually plays hard, not yet time to play, because, the day is not so night.
Some visitors, busy with their respective spouses. Some were humming together, some were talking seriously, some were joking and laughing with cheerful faces.
"Miss. One more drink, just like the one!"
From seat number seven, the customer called the waiters, to order the same drink, as he had just ordered.
Waiters who happened to be not far from the place, and felt on the call, agreed to the order. He walked to the bar table.
"Mas. Table number seven customer, ask for one more drink, which is the same as before. Just look at the notes!"
"Oh means, who used to come here already understand yes Mas? That is to say, I have already memorized it," asked Elisha, nodding his head.
Apparently, the waiters, were Elisha. He only worked at this Club for three days, on the recommendation of the owner of the mini market, where he worked.
The owner of the mini market where Elisa works, asked why she only wanted to work in the morning, and did not want to spend the night. Elisa said she wanted to add night work to work elsewhere. And coincidentally, the sister of the owner of the mini market, is the owner of the Club. So he offered to Elisha to work at his sister's place.
"Yes already. You work at my sister's Club, so you don't have to bother looking for a night job."
Of course, Elisha was happy, because there was no need to riwa-riwi, just to find a side of work at night.
"Thank you Boss!"
"Eh, can you martial arts not? There is precedence that can be martial!"
"A little bit can be Boss. As long as it is not rumbling, it is still mute." replied Elisha with a grin on his horse.
"Good then. You see, you know yourself, the Club is a lot of problems concerning self-safety, so if possible the workers have a martial foundation, just in case."
"Each Boss. Elisha understands!"
"OKs. Let's let my sister, I call first, will you? you see, he doesn't necessarily accept employees with origin either."
And so it was, finally, two days after she worked in the mini market, that night, Elisa was working at this Club.
Elisha felt lucky, because it was easy to find a job, even though not in an office or a luxurious place.
*****
In a very simple room.
Elisha went into his room. He looked tired from having to work early in the morning and at night.
"It turns out, making money is hard too. If this is the case, then realize, to save money and not waste money," said Elisha, to himself, while laying down his body that felt tired.
"But how else. I also need to survive. If you have to stop college is also okay, rather than having to be a burden for you continuously. If I go home, it's the same. I, will still be a burden father too, mending work here only. Who knows, luck could be on my side, and I could go on to college again. You can be El!"
Elisha, said to himself. He also encouraged himself, in order to survive in a big city like Jakarta.
"Oh yeah, how's Jeny? this week, she's having a cover show with Doctor Dimas. But, unfortunately, I couldn't attend. Sure, he'll ask a lot of questions, because for a week or so, I disappeared. Ah... I'm kangen Jen."
Elisha, looking sad to remember, if he could not attend his friend's event.
"Hopefully, your event is smooth until the wedding day. Sorry about Jen. I could not attend" said Elisha, as if speaking to Jeny.
"Rio. You must be confused looking for me. Hiks, sorry. I didn't give an explanation of the call you couldn't take that night either. Hicks, hyx.. I miss you guys!"
Elisa, crying alone. He felt guilty, for sure, if at this time, the friends, must be confused looking for his existence that is not patient.
"Sorry Jen, Rio. I don't want to trouble you two. Although I know, that you will not feel bothered if I tell you a story and for sure, you will help me too. No, I don't want to see you guys feel the sadness that I'm feeling right now. I promise, when the time comes, I'll see you again. Sorry yes!"
