My painter

3 month past, this show time to go Italy.
“Nar, the day after tomorrow I will go to Italy. I think you know about that!”, I said at the telephone.
“Yes, I know! So, why?”, he said.
“Can you accompany me?”, I said.
“Of course! I will to accompany to the airport.",he said.
“OK! Thank you!”, I said.
“By the way, there was time tonight ?”, he asked.
“Yes, I am. What happen?”, I said.
“I want speak with you. Face to face. It’s so important! So, tonight at 7 o’clock we meet at the garden near your home. Ok! See you!”, he said while closed the telephone.
“Hallo…hallo…”, I said.
I’m so confuse, he closed the telephone without say greetings.
After 7 o’clock, I meet Nara at the garden in block B.
“Nar, what the important?”, I asked while angered.
Nara look faint and I don’t know what happen with him.
“Nar, are you OK?”, I asked.
“Yes, I think so. Why?”, he answered.
“Are you sick?”, I asked.
“No, I’m OK!”, he answered.
“Oh…So, what do you want to speak?”, I asked.
“Actually…I’m so hard to let you go. Exactly, I don’t want you go. I’m so sad if you go there.”, he said.
I’m so confuse with him. What he mean?
“Nar, what happen with you?”, I asked.
“I’m so sorry I say like that. It’s not the case that I’m not happy about your victory, but I can’t lie my feeling. It’s really so hard, Elen. “he said.
“Feeling? What feeling, Nar?”, I asked with soft voice.
Nara just quite and bowed this head
“I…like…you…!!! I love you Helena!”, he said haltingly.
I’m so startled hear what he say. My body feel faint, can’t to move. He is Nara? I can’t believe it. I can’t believe he say like that.
He gazed at me with observation that was same with Tony. Really similar with Tony.
“Nar, why he say it? What happen with you? I’m so confuse with you. What do you want?”, I said.
“Len, I’m sorry! But that’s my feel. Really my feeling only with you and just for you.”, he answer.
“Yes, I know. Thank you1 but, why you say it now? The after tomorrow, I will go. I know you know. Why not from 3 month ago you say it before I go.”, I said.
“I know, it’s my mistake. Sorry! But, last night I can’t sleep. Thinking about your trip.
My chest was felt crowded. As there are those that forced me to say it.but, if you know, this feeling has been since long before today happen.”, he said.
“Yes, I understand. I’m sorry! But Nar, I will go to pursued my dream to meet Tony. You know that. Only him, who I want to meet. I miss him!”, I said while dropped my tear.
He grasp my hand with close.
“I’m sorry. I make you cry. This was indeed egoistic, but please…don’t go! I really can’t to see if you go. Please…!!! Forget Tony. He never care with you. He has been lost!”, he said.
I released my hands from his grasp and I go to leave him.
Oh…good! Why you give all of this to me. Give me the way to complete all this.

The following day, I made preparations to go for tomorrow. My money from my painting sales revenue, I think it’s enough for go to Italy. But, that day Nara can’t be contacted. Where he is? Tomorrow I will go. I try to contact him, but could not. Resulting from the incident last night? Until night, he still could not be contacted. So, I Left the voice mail at the telephone that his contents :
“Nar, where are you? Why it’s so hard to cantacted you? But, it’s OK! Maybe you still angry with me about the incident at last night. I just want to say that tomorrow I must to go to Italy. I think you didn’t need to accompany me to the airport. we can telephone, send message, or send E-mail. Don’t be sad Ok! You must good here. Bye-bye Nara. I’ll be missing you. “
While I hear the song with tittle “I’ll be Missing You!".

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain’t always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can’t express what you mean to me
Even though you’re gone, we still a team
Through your family, I’ll fulfill your dream (that’s right)In the future, can’t wait to see
If you open up the gates for meReminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it’s real, feelings hard to conceal
Can’t imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death
Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I’LL BE MISSING YOU
Thinkin of the days, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I’LL BE MISSING YOU.
That’s the lyric of the song. It’s one of the song which I love.

The following day, it’s time to go. When I arrived at the airport, I hope Nara come here. But, I think he didn’t come. Suddenly, I feel someone stand in front of me. I promoted my head to see who is that. And you know who is that? Yes, is that Nara. i’m so startled see him. I can’t believe he will come. Without speaking about a word then he is hug me. I’m so confuse with him.
“Len, forgive me! I just came.”, he said while still hug me.
“I think I never to see you.”, I said.
He released his embrace.
“Len, you must go now!”, my aunt says. She accompany me to airport.
“Yes, I know. Well, I must go now! Don’t be sad.”, I said with Nara.
“I’m okay! Be careful!”, he said.
“Thank you! Take care. Goodbye all of them.”, I said while sad.
“Len…”, Shouted Nara.
“Yes??”, I said.
“I’LL BE MISSING YOU!!!”, he said.
I just smiled at him. I’ll be missing his voice, his face, and all of him.

When I arrived at the Italy, I still can’t believe. I will come here. Oh…good, thank you very much! You grated my prayer. And then I go to the place that will be lived in by me during there. And the following day I began my study. I enjoy my study at the Rome University. I feel so happy there. But, I must to continued to have to search Tony. But, where I will search him? I don’t know where he is.
“Scusi!(Excuse me!). Buongionol!(Good morning!)”, I said with one of teacher there.
“Helena, what happen?”, the teacher said.
“I want to ask with you about someone.”, I said.
“OK! what your question?”, she said.
“Did you know Anthony?”, I asked.
“Anthony? Anthony Watson? Isn’t it?”, she said.
“Yes, he is. Do you know?”, I said.
“Yes, I know him.”, she said.
