"If"

"If"
Part 2 - Beautiful When Smiling



I came to the station to pick up my dad's guitar. After picking up the guitar, I headed to my campus because there were courses I had to attend, and I took the guitar with me in my classroom. After college, I walked out of my classroom, and wanted me to go straight home to put my guitar in my room, pretty heavy.


When she got bored, I saw that the door was closed and the light in her room was not on, which meant that Livia was not in her room, I opened the door to my room and leaned my guitar on my study desk. Not long after, I heard the sound of hasty footsteps, then I heard the sound of the door slamming, and I heard also the sound of faint cries.


I know something was going on with her at the time,


But I couldn't do anything, and suddenly the door to her room opened and Livia stood in front of me, I saw her eyes were puffy, and then Livia walked into my room and fell asleep in my bed. I was just sitting on my desk chair. Livia covered her face with a pillow.


Until I heard no crying from her, I realized that Livia was asleep in my bed because she had been crying, Livia was too tired to cry. When night fell, I took the blanket on my desk and covered it, and I closed the door of my room, after which I walked to the balcony enjoying the beautiful dark sky, and full of stars, although there were some of them that glowed dimly.


"Ndre, I'm so sad" said Livia


Livia stood next to me, then walked past me and sat in the other seat on the balcony, "I broke up with my boyfriend. He said he's the same as me, I'm the one who's the guy?" livia said, looking upset


"That's more a sprain" said Livia


"Say on the campus too, he met a girl who can make him comfortable that way" said Livia, wiping her tears


"That's just the reason he broke up" I said


I looked into his eyes, and smiled faintly at that moment, "Udah lupain all that makes you sad, now look at what you can do to make you happy" I said


"What makes me happy, I don't know" Livia said


"You sent in a guitar? I saw it in your room" said Livia


"Yes, I picked it up this afternoon" I said


Livia looked at me, I saw her forcing her to smile in front of me, "You're playing guitar. Let me not be sad continue to gini" said Livia


"dither. Wait" I said


"Yes" said Livia


I walked away leaving him alone in the balcony, then walked into my room, and I opened my guitar bag, after which I took him to Imbankon. Before playing my guitar, I set all the strings and when all the strings are no longer false, then I play my guitar slowly. I sang Sheila On 7 - Make Me Smile. Livia just kept looking at me with a look that I couldn't explain what it meant.


"You sound good" said Livia


"It's not like that either. I was just tired of singing" I said, laughing


Livia didn't answer


"Until this time I entertain you gini" I said


"Tell me till tomorrow" said Livia


"Mending I record this, I continue to love the recording to you so that it can be repeated until tomorrow" I said


"It's recorded?" said Livia, smiling knot


"Yes" I said


At that time, I actually recorded a song from Sheila On 7 - Make me smile at him, after that I sent the file to his phone, and I put my guitar next to me. It feels like the air in the balcony is getting colder. Bandung does have cold air and water, in contrast to my city which tends to be all hot, especially during the day. The night sky in Bandung is also different. At night, I could clearly see everything that was shining in the sky, whether it was the moon or the stars there. And, I watched for longer, the sky was dark blue instead of black.


"Udah malem really enter yuk" I said


I shut the door on the balcony after Livia walked past me, and we walked into each other's rooms.


I leaned my guitar on my desk, and folded my guitar bag, after which I kept it at the bottom of my study desk. I walked out of my room and into her room.


I stood in front of the door, holding the doorknob, "Sleep. Don't think about what you don't have to think about" I said, smiling a little


"You are also sleeping" said Livia


"Who" I said


Livia turned her back, then I closed the door to her room slowly, after which I returned to my room, although at that time I could not fall asleep, because usually I always slept late at night, or a third of the night. I realized Livia's novel was on my study desk yesterday. I picked up the novel, then read it until midnight. The novel is good.


Worth it, Livia could read it for a long time, even Livia could forget anything while reading the novel, when I felt my eyes start heavy, I turned off my room lights. Sometimes I turn off the lights when I go to sleep. Sometimes I choose not to turn off the lights, but most of the time I choose to turn off the lights in my room. As I was about to fall asleep, I heard Livia turn off the lights in her room and fell asleep because my eyes were so heavy.


Have a good night, Livia. Have a good dream.
