[TAMAT] 3 Time 1 Flavor

Reaching for A Love That Seems So Far

"May, you don't want to be in the group?" ask Riana over the phone.

"No, Ri. May doesn't know them very well. Besides May has been preoccupied with May's lecture," replied Maya refused subtly. Although his heart wanted to get information about his friends, especially Hardi and Adrian, but he also felt it was inappropriate to be with them in the group. The group that Maya joined from High School was only the scholarship recipient group. In addition, Maya attended a class group on her campus.

"Yes, anyway. What tasks are you busy with?" Riana asked back. As a fashion design student, she is more relaxed than a technical student.

"Introduction of building materials. Still a bit relaxed because reportedly entering the next semester is more difficult," replied Maya again.

"How's herryl?" A question that kept Maya quiet for a long time.

"She .. was busy studying, it was near graduation, right," Maya replied at last.

...***...

Herryl just finished taking the graduation papers, which means his time in high school will be less and less. After school, he decided to go to the Maya campus.

"May, I'm in the Engineering cafeteria" Herryl wrote in a message to the girl he missed so much. They very rarely meet and can only send news through a conversation application. Even if you are free, Maya will reply.

"Yes," Maya answered via the same app. The girl immediately tidied up her equipment then rushed towards the intended cafeteria.

"May," called Herryl as he waved his hand, showing his sitting position. Maya approaches the man and sits down and puts down all her gear. Herryl enjoyed every bit of Maya in front of him with a smile. I will miss this activity, her heart.

"After this we go to the city park, yuk," asked Herryl after they ordered food. Hearing that, Maya nodded excitedly. Getting tired after college is fun, right?

Herryl brought Maya's equipment. Arriving at the city park, Maya walks into a long chair. Herryl followed him, taking a seat in the garden overlooking the rose garden in front of them.

"Well, if these roses describe our relationship, what color would you choose?" ask Herryl again. Maya turned her head, looking for a moment at the eyes of the man who had made her the center of the world.

"Me.eh, yellow," Maya stuttered as she looked ahead. Herryl smiled. Don't expect too much, May, Maya's inner.

"If it's lavender, right?" ask Herryl again. Maya looked towards Herryl again. It was like being hypnotized by that look. The gentle look that Herryl always gave her.

"La ..vender?" ask Maya lirih. In front of them were only red, pink, and white.

"Yes, it symbolizes a special love" replied Herryl without taking his eyes off the girl before him. Maya's face was red. The girl then looked down.

"W-what, anyway, Ryl?" back Maya stutters in response to Herryl's expression of feelings for her. He felt his heartbeat getting irregular.

"I love you, May. The more days the stronger the feeling," said Herryl. Maya raises her head, looking for the truth in Herryl's eyes. Her tears were now pushing out, causing her eyes to tear up.

"No, Ryl. May is inappropriate. May is just an ordinary person, not worthy of you being rich. May is less sociable, not worthy of you who are popular," declined Maya again.

"What are these tears, May? The only one who has the right to judge you is worthy or not for me is me, May. I don't care which one you are, who you are, who I know I love you. I see you have that feeling for me, too, May," asked Herryl as she wiped the tears of Maya's eyes. Maya did not answer and just cried. There was a dripping lime in his sliced heart. Herryl let Maya cry. Thankfully the city park was not too crowded so the two of them did not become a spectacle of the crowd.

"May, I know you. Therefore, I want to be solid for you," said Herryl again who gave rise to a look full of questions for Maya. Herryl nodded. "I want to go to Oxford, the day after I leave" he continued. Hearing that, Maya straightened her seat and shook her head.

"No, May. I seriously. I've been preparing it since 2nd grade" replied Herryl.

"From class 2? Important things like this you didn't tell May? You're playing May?" tanya Maya expressed her sadness. The man in front of him can jump at once crush his feelings in minutes.

"I didn't mean to play you, May. I'm just afraid of losing your smile if I tell you right from the start. I've seen how you were when you left Riana, Hardi, and ... Adrian," answered Herryl explaining.

"What else, Ryl? Now that May is getting used to you, you want to go, and you say not toying?" mayan protests are endless. Finally, May felt this pain, something that May had long feared.

"May, chill your head. Please, wise. I've only been gone 4 years" said Herryl.

"Four years you say only? You are stupid in counting. You know how long that is?" maya's taunts do not accept Herryl's statement.

"Compared to me who's been waiting for you since Kindergarten until now, 14 years old, with the condition that you don't remember me, not even our promises. Seeing you think more about other men. The next four years will be enough, May, for us to rethink our individual feelings" Herryl replied with a wounded eye. Although I'm sure my feelings will remain the same, May.

The argument began to subside as Maya fell silent, no longer answering Herryl's remarks.

"Can we go home now?" pinta Maya is finally. There were too many surprises that he received today. It takes time and space to calm itself.

Herryl accepted the girl's request. All the way they were silent. Maya sent her home to the front of the house.

"Have enough rest, May," said Herryl, patting the girl on the top of the head. Maya does not respond and goes straight into the house without allowing Herryl to stop by.

Maya quickly cleans herself up and then takes food. After that he returned to the room, rethinking all of Herryl's words. Until he finally remembered something strange.

...***...

"Compared to me who's been waiting for you since Kindergarten until now, 14 years old, with the condition that you don't remember me, not even our promises."

...***...

A promise? What promise? Herryl's been waiting since Kindergarten? Who her? Out of curiosity, Maya immediately searches for a photo album in the living room.

"Why, Nduk?" ask Mama who saw Maya dismantle the arrangement of photo albums in the living room closet.

"Mama remember, no, where was Maya TK's photo album?" Maya asked back while continuing to search between the arrangement of photo albums. Mama approached her daughter and helped in the search for a photo album.

Until finally a chocolate album is held by mama and handed to Maya. Maya thanks mom. He'll check the meaning of Herryl's words.

...-connect-...

hi hello hi. Finally Herryl pamit.
