Me And You Under The Rain

Me And You Under The Rain
Begging for His help


The loud thumping sound coming from the closed car door had just taken to the air. The owner walked in a hurry to the entrance of a minimarket. His face that looks so serious indicates he needs someone who works in the minimarket. Many pairs of eyes were directed at Dirga when the tall man was standing in front of the cashier. Not yet greeted by employees, Dirga immediately interrupted their sentences.


"Is Sakura around?" ask her directly to the point.


Kontan several female employees who heard this spai was silent for a few seconds, waking up because they were intimidated by the voice of the male baritone. A woman with short hair opened her voice. Told Dirga that the figure he was looking for was not here.


"Sorry, sir. Today it's her schedule to work at the cake shop" the employee said. One of his hands also showed the address where the cake shop was located.


Without saying a word, the man immediately left with the address. Dirga carried his car at a moderate speed, breaking the road to the address in his hand. He did not want to waste a lot of time, right now Dirga had to meet with Sakura. Only that woman had already entered the core of the problem, even Sakura was the one who started it. Dirga would have known nothing if Sakura had not prevented him.


Dirga finally arrives where she can find Sakura. The man walked into a shop and found the presence he was looking for standing behind a desk. Without hesitation Dirga held onto the woman's wrist, intending to bring Sakura away from work without permission. Unfortunately, Dirga's efforts did not match what he had imagined, because it was basically not that easy to take Sakura away to give up her responsibilities at this cake shop. Yes, the woman took off Dirga's hand, she did not want to be invited to leave.


"Don't be reckless, I'm still working" Sakura said.


"Come on, help me ngusir that woman,"


Sakura was still speechless, putting the look in her eyes on the man she had not known for a long time. He fell silent, hoping that Dirga could understand his current situation in his working hours. Even if Sakura wanted to help, she still wouldn't leave this job until her working hours were over. Moreover, the way the man asked her for help, it looked as if Sakura would instantly agree to it. In fact, because of their voices that were quite loud, the shop owner approached the two. Sakura can't avoid this.


As if dead fleas, both of them are silent to the presence of the store owner who is now approaching them. Likewise with Dirga who chose to turn her face—feel her fear to be close to women is still there. Both Sakura and Dirga turned their faces away, reluctant to look up and give explanations. The situation is also confusing for the owner of the cake shop, just staring at the two presences in turn. I don't know, he didn't know what to do after they fell silent to each other. Just its existence, the atmosphere returned to silence.


However, when the store owner observed Dirga's stature in a short period of time, it brought his memory to the dealer's owner. Yes, the woman did not forget the limited level Dirga—kendati they did not meet for long.


"Aren't you the dealer's owner?" ask the owner.


"Yes, I am the owner," replied Dirga, his gaze still dodging.


Somehow, feeling the store owner knew him, Dirga had more confidence to be able to take Sakura away from here. Only, he should be able to fight against that fear of his. Dirga is at war with his own mind, trying to make quick decisions. Dirga decides to tell him what he really wants. In fact, there was no pleasantries in his sentence.


"Can I take Sakura away with me?" tanyanya direct. Because of that impromptu question, the owner of the cake shop fell silent. "I need him on personal terms" he said.


"Sorry, then can't, Sakura my employee. He can't leave before his hours are over. Please price it," he explained, the owner of the cake shop.


Indeed basically not smart to mince words, Dirga slightly tilted her body, staring at Sakura before opening her voice. "When are your work hours done?" tanyakanya.


"Half an hour" answered Sakura.


The brief conversation between Dirga and Sakura made Dirga show her seriousness to wait for Sakura. To be honest, it was not Sakura's business to make Dirga wait or not, anyway it was the choice of the man himself. However, what makes Sakura and the cake shop owner inexhaustible is where Dirga waits for Sakura's working hours to be completed. The man was inside the cake shop, circling each shelf displaying many types of sweet foods. Yes, yes, how else? He should be like this for the next thirty minutes.


Or maybe it's a good thing for the store? Because, just a few minutes Dirga browse each shelf, there are already many customers who come. All dominated by women.


"Are we just telling him to be here? He's attracted a lot of women" whispered the shopkeeper to Sakura.


"But he's not interested in them" Sakura replies.


"Why?" tanyakanya. Sakura did not give a clear answer, she just stared at her boss. "Ah, does he like the same handsome ones?"


Such was the conclusion drawn by the owner of the cake shop, even the forty-year-old woman walked in with her head nodding. Which made Sakura laugh a little with her boss's words earlier. And from where he was, he clearly witnessed how Dirga avoided some of the women who approached him. Not even the man chimed in on any of the women's questions there. Ending the unsettled Dirga, the man left the shop.


Sakura only saw the man entering her car. At first he thought Dirga would give up and choose to leave this location, only his car did not go at all. Yes, the woman thought Dirga was serious about her words. Not knowing why even caused pity, encouraging him to give help to Dirga. Although he knew, if he would deal with the spirit of the woman.


Until thirty minutes passed, Dirga was still faithfully waiting there. The man's gaze was directed at the lovers who were together. So close to looking, the person was pricked when someone knocked on his glass window. And that figure made him wait in this place. Finally, Dirga was very happy because his efforts waiting here did not become in vain. Evidenced by the arrival of Sakura who said clearly if she wanted to give a helping hand to make him detach from the female spirit.


"First, put on your gloves. I was horrified to see him" he asked.


Of course, the simple thing is not obeyed by Dirga. Sakura was really waiting for Dirga to put the gloves on. Although he knew the spirit was sitting next to Dirga, at least his existence was invisible—even though by him—when the man was wearing his gloves. Then Sakura wants to enter Dirga's car and come with the man to leave this cake shop.


While in the car, Dirga explained what happened to him yesterday. How the figure of the female spirit was clearly displayed next to her, as well as the cold touch of the woman's embrace on her body. This is something that is completely outside of Dirga itself. However, Sakura's guess is true if the female spirit has liked Dirga. Therefore, Dirga only considers if he is an unlucky carrier for women.


Until finally Dirga's car stops at his house, it makes Sakura surprised because the man did not say he would bring her here. Well, Sakura was surprised instead of playing, it felt like Sakura wanted to hit Dirga. The woman could not refuse, because Dirga had also walked into her house, leaving her still in the car. Even with a heavy sigh, Sakura also came out from there, following the man. Though, just putting yourself on the living room sofa, another voice had broken his attention. The voice of a woman who was Dirga's mother.


"Sore, mother," said Sakura first.


"Sore. This is the first time after five years passed Dirga brought women again to the house" said Dirga's mother.


"That's Sakura, who will help me, ma'am," interrupted Dirga as the man sat down with the two women there.


Because the curiosity re-emerged, finally the mother returned to discuss the problems faced by Dirga. The middle-aged woman asked a lot about what can be done to remove the female spirit from the side of Dirga. However, since Sakura also did not have that much strength, she simply shook her head, as she did not have any solution to eliminate it quickly. Seeing that figure alone Sakura was still often afraid and evasive. It was there that all the stories based on Dirga's true story began, which made Sakura think longer to try to conclude.


"The center of your problem is not in the ring, but the car where the ring is located. The spirit is waiting for the moment where you found the ring," said Sakura.
