GREY MARNI
Farewell Letter from Salsa

Rudi and Laura are looking for Mr. Amin's home in charge of Salsa's treatment and are also the boss of where Salsa works.

They both looked for him at the restaurant and it turned out that he wasn't there. Laura asked Amin's home address to his employees and got his address. Mr. Amin's house is quite far from what they think, it took about three hours to arrive at a large house with a black and high fence. There were two guards guarding the fence.

"Good day sir" said Laura who had just got out of the car.

"Yes good afternoon. What's the need, mbak?"

"I want to find Mr. Amin, is he home?"

"Yes, he's at home. Is there an appointment with Mr Amin?"

"Ohh... Not yet sir. I just want to ask you a few things about my friend who is an employee of Mr. Amin."

"Okay, please wait a minute there." Said the guard while pointing at a chair with a roof and a beautiful view.

Rudi parked his car and waited at the spot indicated by the guard. An open hut made of teak wood with dragon carvings, the roof is made of neatly arranged leaves. Being outside the fence with views of the park which is also outside the fence.

Unlike some other luxury homes that put the garden on the inside of the fence. Pak Amin's garden house is just outside the fence. Some treats were prepared for Rudi and Laura, they enjoyed the banquet very much from the two guardians of the fence.

After a while of waiting and enjoying some snacks, one of the guardians of the house of Amin approached them and told them to come in.

Not only the outside is luxurious, inside the fence of Mr. Amin's house also looks very luxurious and magnificent. The appearance of a very large house with all white colors, the garden inside is also not inferior to the garden outside and also a very high and large door.

Two young women opened the door and told them to come in. A man was sitting waiting for them.

"Sit down! sit down please sit down" said Mr. Amin.

The two of them sat down with Mr. Amin, two young women who opened the door and offered drinks.

"What do you need?" Ask Mr. Amin.

"I want to ask about Salsa, one of the father's employees" asked Rudi without further ado

"Ohh... Salsas. He's home"

"Going home? Where's Sir?"

"Emmm... Less understand. He just said he wanted to go home and I picked him up at the hospital. After that I take Salsa to the terminal." Obviously mr. Amin.

"Didn't he say anything sir?"

"No, he just kept quiet. I had been persuaded to keep working, but he refused"

"Ehh... A moment! He left a letter to Rudi but I don't know who Rudi is."

"I'm Rudi sir, sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. Can I see the letter?"

"Ohh... So you, just a second"

Mr. Amin went into his room and soon he came out with a white envelope and gave it to Rudi.

"Don't open it first, open it later when you're home."

"yes, right"

"Can you please tell me what happened to Salsa?"

"Can I explain as much detail as possible"

Mr. Amin was very kind and patient, he told me everything without anything being covered up. Starting from the accident that happened to Salsa to his responsibility of carrying and paying all the costs of Salsa hospital.

After Mr. Amin told all, it was Rudi's turn to tell everything even Rudi also told him that he wanted to marry Salsa. Mr. Amin listened to Rudi's story, however he could not give any more help he just said that Salsa no longer wanted to be encountered by Rudi and some of the information already in the letter given by Salsa.

After continuing their conversation, Rudi said goodbye to immediately go home and continued to be able to quickly find Salsa.

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

After they came out and said goodbye. They decided to go home first and continue looking for Salsa tomorrow again.

After arriving at the boarding house, Rudi went straight to his room after thanking Laura for helping him.

The day was quite hot, very hot to make the whole room Rudi felt very sultry. Rudi took off his clothes and came out from inside his room. Stand in front of the second floor room with hot air and cool breeze. He took a letter from Salsa from his pants pocket, opened it and read it.

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

I know if you really love me

I also understand your sincerity and sincerity

But in my heart it was like something was awkward and made me uncomfortable

Rudy... We can't be together

You deserve better than me

It's all a wish from my heart

Continue your life without me and I will also continue my life

You no longer need to look for me because you will never find me

Stay alive and be happy

Thank you for everything.

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

Rudi folded the letter back and put it in his pants pocket again. He took out a cigarette and burned the tip, raised his head to the hot sky and exhaled the smoke of release.

He was immersed in the desolation with the winds of sincerity. All his memories with Salsa were swept away with the air and the scorching light of the sun.

Darkness greeted him, waving as if inviting Rudi to approach him. Rudi is deep in the fatigue of struggle.
