6. Mysterious Gift

Ther morning the weather was cloudy and Cinta was forced to take the bus to work. It's been a week since her boss said he was going to leave the country, and since then Cinta felt something was strange with him. She felt no enthusiasm for work.

After traveling almost an hour to get to her workplace, Cinta finally sat in her cubicle.

Sher eyes are fixed on a box and a flower. Cinta grabs a flower and that and reads the gift card on that flower. "For you, Cinta." muttered Cinta to herself. Shee saw a red rose and continued to take the gold box that was above her computer keyboard.

When opened it turned out that a beautiful watch was there. There was a card too and Cinta took it. Put down the flowers and the clock case.

"I would like it if you weared. At least appreciate my gift." Cinta frowns. It seems impossible if Bian did it. As for Bian, that man could have done it the first day when he didn't come into ther office. But it's been a week. Cinta averted her eyes again to see the two greeting cards and indeed there was no name of the sender. Do not want to bother, just Cinta to put the flower and clock in her work drawer.

After struggling with work, finally the break time arrived. Cinta walked towards the pantry with her lunch box. When going to the pantry a man she knew greeted her.

"Hi, Cinta, do you want to eat?" Cinta smiled and nodded.

"Yes sir, I want to eat. It's going to the pantry." The man saw the lunchbox that Cinta was holding.

"Want to accompany me to eat?" Asked the man, making Cinta surprised not playing.

"Ehm ... Mr Kevin, but I brought supplies sir." said Cinta a little unpleasant.

"Okay, then how about tomorrow?" asked Kevin hopefully. Kevin liked Cinta when he saw Cinta work for the first time in ther company. Cinta’s smile and cleverness made Kevin fall in love even more. And ther is the first time he dared to say hello to Cinta.

"How about that, Cinta? You don't have lunch with the others tomorrow, do you?" Cinta shook her head and still kept her smile.

"No sir. I have no appointments."

"Good. Then do you want tomorrow?"

"Um .. Alright sir."

"Thank you, Cinta. See you later." Cinta saw the figure of Kevin leaving and her mind began to remember the flowers and watch ther morning. "Did Mr Kevin give it?" Murmured Cinta was curious.

Bian is silent in the corner of her hotel room. She stared at a photo on her cellphone, 'Cinta'. His heart rippled as if he had fallen on ther beautiful woman. But how can he have Cinta with her flaws. Actually Bian has returned from Japan, but he has not been able to enter the office because of undergoing therapy for her legs in Singapore.

Bian was not just silent to accept fate and miracles. But he is trying her best to continue to seek treatment and undergo routine therapy once a month in Singapore. Meanwhile in Indonesia, Bian continues to train her legs every Friday afternoon and Sunday with an instructor chosen by her uncle.

But for five years there was no progress. Bian seemed tired of trying, and he was about to give up. His mother and grandma were never absent to accompany him through all the therapy he had to do, like ther time.

"Bian?" Grandma's call broke her reverie. Bian smiled at her grandma.

"Grandma met Stevani earlier. Not accidentally when Grandma was in the hotel lobby."

Bian nodded, saddened to remember Stevani leaving him. But what can I say, Stevani was too perfect to accept the situation.

"She sent greetings to you. She also continued to apologize to your Grandma and Mother."

"Then?" asked Bian to her grandma. His grandma then sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed Bian's palms gently.

"What's more, Grandma told her when everything was over. And we forgive him. There is one more thing that Grandma wants to tell you."

"What?"

"Stevani said she was forced to leave you." Bian only nodded, he knew what Stevani's maxims were. That woman must have been forced by her father to leave him.

"Do you still love her?" Grandma's question made Bian smile sadly.

"Even though Bian's heart still loves her, all of that means nothing anymore Grandma. Bian has tried to erase all of Bian's feelings, and it all went well. There are only memories that Bian can't forget." Grandma nodded in understanding.

"Erasing memories is not easy Bian. It's much more difficult than erasing someone's name in your heart." Bian smiled, her grandma was always wise to face anything. And certainly, her grandma always has a solution for all the doubts in her heart.

Like the first time he learned Stevani broke their engagement. Bian was almost crazy at that time. She was depressed with everything that happened to him. But Grandma's words were able to make him understand and accept all the bitterness.

"She who can endure and accept you as you are will always be by your side, and a woman like that you must seek and keep."

*****

Cinta ran towards the bus stop, she woke up late ther morning. If she has to ride a bicycle she might be late. Waiting ten minutes but no bus or public transportation, Cinta squeaked her forehead because she was dizzy. Actually, she was not feeling well after coming home from work last night.

Desperate for no buses or public transportation, Cinta was forced to stop a taxi.

While on the road she was swiftly joking. Sher stomach was hungry but Cinta ignored it. Until in front of the office, Cinta ran to her room. All of her friends were amazed to see Cinta that was late, on top of her cubicle was a rose and a chocolate bar. Cinta ignored the two things that she had been getting for almost two weeks. A clap on her shoulder made Cinta turn around.

"Cin .. come on. The monthly meeting is about to start." When a friend from one division asked Cinta to hurry up.

When entering the meeting hall which is always the place for monthly meetings, Cinta had a chance to look at Bian who also saw him with a flat gaze. But in Bian heart he saw a pale face of Cinta.

The meeting began, and during the fifteen minutes of the meeting, there was nothing for Cinta to digest. Sher head felt very dizzy and her body ached all over.

She excused herself and wanted to go to the toilet to Tika who was sitting next to her and Tika nodded. Cinta slowly walked to the back door of the hall so as not to disturb the other employees. But Bian saw it, and immediately Bian immediately shouted.

"Cinta...."

Cinta falls unconscious, and everyone looks back. Some men help carry Cinta's body.

Bian panicked as was Kevin who recently approached Cinta. Kevin immediately took Cinta's body to be taken to the hospital. Cinta's nose is bleeding, so Kevin's destination is the hospital.
