GREY MARNI
Salsa Disappears?

...She's a gray woman...

...His days are full of fireflies of the past...

...Like lilies at night...

...It is full of wounds...

...If the silence of the night had followed...

...Sadness will also meet him...

...Now he decided to leave...

...From his treatment and taboo of affection...

...***************...

Rudi's second day of vacation, he decides to visit and accompany Salsa for a full day. He invited Laura who had not visited Salsa for a long time.

Rudi gets advice from Laura to buy her a special meal and some gifts. Advice that Rudi never thought of, because every day he only brought fruits, market snacks and some drinks in packs.

Laura invites Rudi to leave a little afternoon because she still has to clean the terrace and house. Rudi agreed to Laura's request and she also made use of it to shop for some food and gifts.

Rudi went to the market. He thought of buying her a veil and earrings.

Rudi had never seen Salsa in a beautiful cloth covering her hair, and this time he would see her.

Rudi approached a Muslim fashion store that was in the hallway to a tomb in the area. It is said that the tomb was the tomb of a great cleric in the area. The large number of people who make pilgrimages there makes some residents open clothing and snack shops.

Rudi is quite picky with the color and motif of the veil that he will buy. Too many options, plus Rudi never bought a veil for a woman.

The shopkeeper offers three veils with different colors and motifs.

"This might fit you" the shopkeeper suggested by holding out an easy red veil with a simple motif on the edge.

"Emmm... The guy's a little small and cute, isn't this too big?" Rudi plain.

"Hahaha, it's how to wear it folded first brother"

"Ohh, man,.. So fold it first yes"

"Yes" said the shopkeeper.

Rudi has been in Muslim fashion for too long. He decided to buy the three veils offered to him and went straight home.

Upon arriving at the boarding house, he immediately met Laura in his house and told her to get ready and leave immediately. Rudi also returned to his room to prepare.

...----------------...

After they prepared, they headed straight for the hospital. Rudi was very impatient to give her the veil she had just bought and saw Salsa wearing it. Laura several times praised Rudi's initiative. She did not think Rudi would buy a veil for Salsa, because what she thought was a dress or other clothing that led more to a more open western appearance.

"What dream did you have to buy Salsa a veil?" Laura asked Rudi who was focused on driving.

"Hahaha, Rudi also still has faith"

"Hahaha, I was also curious how Salsa looked as she wore a veil"

"Hahaha, why don't you try wearing a veil too?"

"Wait for ustadz duda"

Their chatter devoured time during the journey. After parking the car, the two of them walked towards Salsa's room.

Rudi was very excited, even he looked very carefree when passing through several other patient's hospital rooms. Laura grinned herself to see Rudi who occasionally peeked at other patients and greeted them.

Rudi came to Salsa's door, he opened the door and there was no one in the room. Salsa wasn't there either. Laura was also curious and peeked inside Salsa's room. It's true that no one was there.

"Rud let's ask the hospital receptionist"

"Alright, come!"

Rudi walked normally with a faster pace. Arriving at the table where the hospital receptionist sat, Rudi asked the whereabouts of the patient who was in room number 57, 3rd Floor. The receptionist opened a notebook and searched the patient list on the third floor.

"Number 57? In the name of Salsa?"

"Yes, in the name of Salsa?"

"The patient just came out this morning"

"Going home? Who's she coming home with?"

"Together the responsible and boss of Salsa's sister"

"Hasn't he fully healed yet, brother?" Laura tried to ask deeper.

"Actually it's all at the whim of the patient himself sis"

"Oh, thank you"

Laura invited Rudi to sit down first. Rudi was already very panicked to hear Salsa had gone home without her knowledge. He did not understand what Salsa was going to do. Rudi felt a sense of loss again and became very confused and angry. He had explained everything to Salsa that he would accept it under any circumstances, but it seemed that Salsa was very unwilling to make Rudi more tormented by his present circumstances.

"Let's see Salsa's boss"

"No need! Salsa no longer wanted to be with me."

"Are you notin' about that, Rud? What if there's something else?"

"Let's know Ra, that's all I have in mind right now"

"We seek clarity first, you decide after that"

"I'm so tired Ra! I've told Salsa everything, everything! I even said what I should have said"

"Take it easy, we'll find the man who delivered Salsa first, and we'll find an explanation for it"

Rudi just sat and looked at the ceiling of the hospital blankly and ignored Laura's words.

He lost Salsa for the second time. Rudi was in a daze and could not think of anything else.he just stared at the ceiling of the hospital and did not say anything. Laura just kept quiet and waited for Rudi's decision.

"Take it easy, we're looking for Salsa! After that it's up to you" Laura said.

Rudi still did not answer. For a long time he daydreamed and finally he stood up and took a drink next to the receptionist's seat.

"Can I find out who's responsible for a patient named Salsa?"

"His name is Mr. Amin"

"All right, thank you"

Rudi went out of the hospital and Laura followed him from behind.
