Pellucid
Chapter 32 - Clear Disappear
"XIH!" pekik Ayu is hysterical at Giwangan terminal, Yogyakarta.
"Where are you going? Why go this way huhu.." cried Ayu who invited some passengers to watch the girl was sad in front of the public toilet of Giwangan bus terminal, Yogyakarta.
But they can only see from afar and without doing much.
Some time before, though,
After traveling for almost two hours from the city of Solo to Yogyakarta, twelve o'clock in the evening they arrived at the Giwangan terminal.
Suddenly I want to go to the toilet. Then he said to Bening and left his clothes bag on Bening aka Ningsih. After ten minutes, Ayu came out of the toilet already did not find Bening who was waiting in front of the toilet.
When she looked to the right and left looking for Bening, suddenly there was a shopkeeper mother who was not far from the public toilet, giving Ayu a letter and a bag of clothes belonging to Ayu.
Assalammualaikum Yu,
Sorry I had to go. I'm sorry I can't say goodbye to you. Because for sure if I say goodbye, you won't let me go. Sorry to bother you and your family so much just for my sake. Give my regards to Grandma. May Grandma Minah be healthy always.
I went for the common good that I can't explain. Please don't look for me, Yu. Thank you so much for your help all this time. Please don't tell me anything about me to your family in Yogyakarta. Hopefully later if I live long, I can return the favor of both you and Grandma Minah.
From Ningsih, though,
Your best friend who has prayed for you all my life.

After reading a letter from Bening, Ayu automatically screamed hysterically and cried. Terminal conditions are quite quiet because it is late at night.
Ayu had been walking around the terminal for over an hour and Ningsih remained unaccounted for. Finally Ayu was forced to call the motorcycle taxi to be delivered to Bude Lina's address.
The Bude Lina residence is not far from Malioboro. Because the budenya is a batik businessman as well as a fairly famous bakpia in the city of Yogyakarta.
All of that is the legacy of the ancestors of the Bude Lina family who have been hereditary. And his late Pakdenya worked as a well-respected police officer in this Gudeg city.
note :
Dialogue during Yogyakarta othor for Bahasa Indonesia yes buddy. It's okay huh?
Usually they speak using krama inggil (the most subtle Javanese language). Fear othor there is a miswrite krama inggilnya and othor not yet proficient also learn krama inggil. Sorry yeah. Noah^^.
"Eh, Madam Ayu. Tumben's here late at night. What's up?" ask one of the art at Bude Lina's house.
"Yes, Ms. Menik. Sorry, so disrupt her sleep. Bude is there, Mommy? Is she asleep?" ask Ayu while chirping.
"Mother's abroad again, Ms Ayu. To Netherlands. It was three days ago leaving. Do not know when to go home," said Mbak Menik.
"Well, what in the Netherlands? Did Junet get a future wife?" tanya Ayu was quite surprised.
"No, Madam Ayu. Mother to the Netherlands because she was invited by the Indonesian Ambassador there for the batik exhibition," replied Mbak Menik with a faint smile.
"Oh, I think Junet's getting married to a bule."
"Mas Arjuna has not returned to Yogyakarta for a long time. Reportedly the mother who can not allow Mas Arjuna to come here," whispered Mbak Menik.
"Wow, why else is that Junet? Make trouble, did he? Until Bude Lina gets angry. How long hasn't Junet been home, Ma'am?" ask Ayu curiously.
"There's been six months if it's not wrong, ma'am."
"Yes, now Ayu's just rest. Must be tired after the trip from Solo to Yogyakarta," said Mbak Menik while helping Ayu bring her clothes bag and open the guest room.
After dropping off Ayu, Mbak Menik resigned to his room to rest.
"Ningsih, where are you going anyway? Oh God protect Ningsih and the baby," Ayu's mind was grimly staring at the ceiling of the guest room she used to stay in if staying at Bude Lina's house.
