My Painter

This is my college

“Yes, I know him.”, said my teacher.
“Are you sure?”, I asked.
“Yes, I’m sure. What happen with him?”, she said.
“Did you know where he live?”, I asked.
“Ow…I’m so sorry! I don’t know where he live. After 5 year be granted, he never come here and give a news about him. So, I don’t know where he is now.”, she said.
I’m disappointed with she answer.
“Grazie mille!(Thank you!)”, I said.
I don’t know where I can go to search him. I asked with almost teacher at my college. But one of them didn’t know about him. Must be to around this country? This country it’s so broad. I set a advertisement at the every road in my city. But it’s also not give a responding.

The change of year holiday is come, as long as I’m not yet to meet Tony. It’s make me almost give up. But, I must be strong and go forward. Suddenly, my phone is noise.
“Hallo!”, I said.
“Elen, it’s me Nara. what are you doing now?”, Nara said.
“Nothing. What happen, Nar?”, I said.
“ Can you go outside now?”, he said.
“What’s up? What for I must go there?”, I asked.
“Come on! Please!”, he said.
And then I go to outside from my apartment.
“What happened, Nar? I have been outside. So?”, I said While continuing to hold the telephone.

Suddenly, I feel someone stand exact behind me. And then I return my body to see who is it. Who is that? And you know who is that? I see someone who I know. He is Anthony. I saw his face, so distinct. He hug me very close.
“Len, why you just quiet?”, he said.
When I heard his voice, I then regained consciousness. He is not Anthony. He is Nara.
“Nara?”, I asked.
“Yes, it’s me. Nara, Narapraja. A doctor who came from Indonesia to pursue Helena Hehehe…”, he said.
And then he released his embrace.
“Nara? How could you be here?”, I asked surprised.
“I’ll tell all of you about this, later. Can I go into your apartment? I’m so tired.”, he said.
“Of course! Come on!”, I said.
Although the first I feel disappointed he is not Anthony, but I’m happy too. Because Nara is coming.
“Nar, tonight you can sleep at that room. In here have 2 room. I’ll get dinner. Oh ya, can you tell me a little. Why you come here? How about your activity at Indonesia?”, I said.
“I’ll continue my study at France. In fact, my study will begin 2 month again. But, I want drop in Italy. At the same time, I visit you in here. I can meet you. I need a refreshing with my activity.”, he said.
“Oh…thank you, you come here.”, I said.
“Well, I want to take a bath. Where the bathroom?”, he asked.
“There.”, I said while show the bathroom.
All along night, I and Nara discuss. He tell about condition in Indonesia during 1 year and me too. Tell all about everything during I’m here.
“Len, have a news about Tony?”, Nara asked.
“Not yet.”, I answered while sad.
“Oh…! Don’t be hopeless! I’m sure you can meet Tony.”, he said.
“Grazie mille!(Thank you!)”, I said.
“Waw... you can speak Italy language?”, he said.
“Not yet, just a little.”, I said.
“Oh…! Can you teach me?”, he said.
“OK…OK! Well, at the same time you here, we can search Tony together.”, I said.
“Len, I’m here just to meet you. Just to have fun together you. Not for search Tony.” Nara said in his heart.
“Nar? Can you?, I asked.
“Eh…OK…OK! I will help you. We search Tony together.”, Nara said.
“Come on we go now!”, I said.
“Where did we can find him? Italy it’s not limited.”, he said.
“Yes, I know. I have been set a advertisement at internet but is not give a result. I also ask with almost of teacher at my college. But they are didn’t know where he is. “, I said.
“Why you not try to set a advertisement at television?”, Nara said.
“I think it’s so expensive. I don’t have money for it. I have been to sell my paint and then I fall in my money for it. But it’s not useful.”, I answered.
“Oh…!”, Nara said.
After 4 pm o’clock, Nara farewell with me to go outside.
“Len, I want to go just a minutes. I want to stroll.”, he said.
“OK! Be careful! I just want here. I want to rest.”, I said.
“Ciao!(Bye!)”, he said.
After 8 pm o’clock, Nara is not yet go home.
“Where is Nara? it’s 8 o’clock. Where he is? Maybe he have a business.”, I said.
While I’m wait Nara to go home, and then I watching TV. After a few minutes I watching TV, I’m startled with one of advertisement at TV. That advertisement about searching of Tony. I just quiet to see that. What is that? I feel, I’m not set that advertisement. Who? Nara? Yes, it’s certain Nara do it. After that advertisement finished, Nara is coming and smile at me.
“Nara?, I said.
“Yes. What happen?”, he answered.
“You are?”, I said.
“Are you finished to see that advertisement?”, he asked while sit down beside me.
“You are do it? You set that advertisement?”, I asked.
“Yes, I do.”, he answered.
“Why? I say, you not set it. It’s so expensive, Nara.”, I said.
“Just for you, everything I can do it. Although it’s very expensive.”, he said.
I’m so touched with his words. I can’t believe it. It’s long time, I want to set that advertisement. But, I don’t have money for that. But, Nara make my dream is come true. Thanks Nar. Thank you very much!
“How can I reply what you do for me?”, I asked.
“Len, listen me! I’m do it, it’s not hope everything from you. I’m so sincere. Because of you!”, Nara said.
“Me? What do you mean?”, I asked.
“Yes, because I do it just for you. Not for another.”, Nara said.
I’m so happy hear that. I think Nara’s feel with me it’s same before I go here. He is so honest. His feel so honest. Why I can’t reply his honest feeling?

After 4 day that advertisement show at TV, as long as we are just wait somebody is call for tell about Tony. Suddenly that afternoon somebody is call.
“Ciao!(Hallo!) Buongiorno! (Good afternoon!)Come va? (How are you?)”, that people said.
“Ciao!(Hallo!) Chi è? (Who is that?)”, I answered.
Suddenly, that people just quiet.
“Ciao!(Hallo!)”, I said.
“Who is that, Len?”, Nara asked.
“I don’t know.”, I said.
“Close the telephone! It just sneaky people.”, Nara said.
“No! maybe it’s Tony.”, I said while continue hear that people.
“Ciao! Ciao! Ciao!(Hallo! Hallo! Hallo)”, I said.
“Questa è Helena? (Are you Helena?)”, he asked.
“Questa è Helena. Chi è? ( This Helena. Who you are?)”, I said.

This voice? This voice like…Tony.
“Tony? Is it you?”, I asked.
He not answered.
“Nar, he is Tony. I’m sure.”, I said.
“Hah…are you sure?”, Nara said.
And then Nara seized the telephone by me.
“Hallo! are you Tony?”, Nara said while little scream.
That people just be quiet and close the telephone. I can’t do something. I jut can cry to see all of that.
“I’m sure, he is Tony. I still remember his voice. Although it’s long time I’m not meet him and hear his voice, but nobody have voice like him. Even he is his cousin.”, I said.
“I’m please forgive me! I should be not set this advertisement. It’s exact make you cry. Don’t be sad please!”, Nara said.
“It’s OK! Maybe that way it’s must like this.”, I said.
“Len, don’t give up! You can do it!”, Nara said.
I still cry. Why must be like this? God…Why you not give me permission to see his face, just once more time. I miss him!
“Len, why not try to call that number?”, Nara said.
However, after that number call, it’s not connected.
“Stop that! It’s useless. We are must stop that advertisement.”, I said.
“OK!”, Nara said.

“Nar, what can we do to find Tony? I’m finished way.”, I said.

When we are look around the painting, suddenly Nara hold my hand so close. I’m so startled.

And then I look at to the people who pointed by Nara. Do you know who is that?
