[TAMAT] 3 Time 1 Flavor

Greeting Flavor

Maya continued to walk closer towards the man in front of her. His friends have gone away, made way.

"Herryl," call Maya. Even if it's a dream, let May feel like she's meeting him for a little while.

The man smiled. In his hand was a box of chocolates. They're facing each other right now. Maya kept looking into the eyes of the man who also saw her. I'm sorry, whoever you are, May has been impolite to see you continue as Herryl.

"May" call the man. Even the sound is the same as Herryl.

"Who are you?" ask Maya. Tears began to flow because of his heart. Sick, sick to realize that May thinks too much of you, Ryl.

"Kok cry?" ask the man in front of him. Immediately he bowed, wiping away the tears on Maya's cheek using his thumb. Maya brushed off that hand.

"I'm sorry, May was wrong" Maya said.

"Who are you looking for?" asked the man in wonder.

"He's a lo guy, right?" ask Randi who walked over to Maya. Maya looks up at Randi. May guy?

"Yes. Thank you for taking care of Maya all this time" replied the man who had been standing in front of Maya at Randi. He rubbed the head of the girl in front of him.

Maya widened her eyes.

"This ...." The girl stammered as she still did not believe the words of the two men around her.

"May, I'm coming. Congratulations, yes, you've graduated," said Herryl again, this time holding onto Maya's shoulders and bowing slightly. "I'm sorry for what happened" he continued, looking into the girl's eyes.

The girl's heart was speeding with time. So, not a hallucination? Herryl really came?

"Ryl, ka-" Maya's speech is cut short by the man's behavior in front of her. Suddenly Herryl put something in Maya's mouth. Sweet. The man in a light blue shirt with his arms rolled up to his elbows then leaned his brown box on Randi.

"Make friends" said Herryl.

"Thank you" said Randi.

"Yuk, to the cafeteria," asked Herryl while holding Maya's hand. The girl looked at Herryl's hand grip while feeling a slightly bitter sweet chocolate in her mouth. So it's like this, huh, it feels? Just like the chocolate I was eating. A smile had appeared as his heart warmed. He returned the grip, causing Herryl to turn his head and smile at him.

"Drink." Herryl offered avocado juice when they reached the cafeteria. The man was only chin-backed, observing the girl in front of him who immediately drank as he ordered. Still as before, drink without feeling the need to keep the image as a gentle woman.

"Don't look at May anyway" forbid Maya while trying to hide the hue of her face.

"I have to see the canteen mom?" ask Herryl sulked.

"Start, deh," Maya grumbled.

"After this to the park, yuk," asked Herryl again. Maya speechless. The glass is empty. Now the girl moved from her seat, wearing her blue backpack and carrying the thesis out of the canteen.

"May wants to take care of the project," elak Maya. He's looking for an excuse not to stay with Herryl. He felt unprepared for this sudden condition.

"Said Tiara there is no schedule of your team today, really," said Herryl. Maya turned around and stared intently at the man in front of her.

"You're a stalker?"

"No, I'm your lover" replied Herryl with a smile.

"You're the nyebelin."

"But ngangenin."

"Herry."

"What's? Married you?"

Maya stared hard at Herryl.

"Wadouw!!" yell Herryl in pain. Her arms were pinched so hard by Maya.

"Old in Oxford can't make you talk really, really," Maya said upset.

"May, red, here." Herryl complained as he rolled up his sleeves. He had rolled up already limited to the elbow but now he had to roll again to look red Maya pinch marks on his skin that was yellow.

"Ouch! It hurts, Ryl."

Maya lost steam with Herryl who trained in the gym every week.

"Bandel, anyway," said Herryl before he finally released Maya.

"We're taking the bus is okay, right?" ask Herryl again. Maya looks on. The man patted the head of the girl beside him with a smile.

Arriving at the park, Maya sits back in the long chair they used to sit in.

"Why come home?" ask Maya.

"Because I've passed the final exam" replied Herryl.

Maya heard it.

"You still have to" he was cut off by Herryl.

"I knew. I have to go home and solve our problems, after which I can just continue S2 calmly." Herryl explained while looking at Maya. Maya speechless.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too worried to unknowingly hurt you" Herryl continued.

"Stupid."

"Eh?"

"May who has hurt you by not responding to you at all. May realized May was wrong when you had not contacted May. May is ready if she has to pis-" Maya's words stop because Herryl touched her index finger on the girl's lips.

"Listen to me, May" said Herryl. "When I decided not to contact you, it was when I realized that I had to focus on my lectures and exams in order to pass and go home to see you. I promised to keep myself steady for you, didn't I? Since then I have been busy with various books, tutorials, and seminars that support my lectures. Last month, for three weeks I had oral and written exams to pass S1. As per my plan, I will go home after my exam results come out. I don't want us to be apart, May. I just imagine my future is you" she explained.

Maya can't say anything anymore. His heart warmed at this moment. The back of the tears fell because there was a day that had filled him.

"Thank you, Ryl. Sorry May has misunderstood," said Maya while sobbing. The man then rubbed his thumb on Maya's cheek, wiping away the tears that appeared there. Herryl framed Maya's face with both hands then brought their faces closer together. His eyes looked into Maya's eyes.

"I do love you, May," said the man softly accompanied by a smile.

Maya nods then holds Herryl's hand, lifting him off her face. The girl's face was already very red this time.

"So, when are you going to Oxford again?" ask Maya after they were a little far apart.

"Finally next month. I want to see you graduate," replied Herryl.

"But, the invitation is only for parents. If you want to add more, you have to buy."

"I can buy it myself" said Herryl who made Maya laugh.

"Invitation for yourself but buy yourself."

Herryl smiled at Maya who was laughing. Time, stop. I still want to be with him like this. The man then broke down his body, leaving his head in Maya's lap.

"Eh?"

"Rubby, May. Just got to last night. I slept first, yes," asked Herryl before he closed his eyes.

Maya smilingly looked at the face of the man sleeping on her lap. The girl observed Herryl's increasingly firm facial lines. He's getting older. Maya's gaze then turned on the rose garden in front of them. Now May can wear a red rose, right, Ryl? Maya smiled again. Thank you, Ryl. Thank ye.

*) I DO LOVE YOU means I really love you. The addition of this word “DO” as a proof of sincerity in loving, not only views the advantages but also accepts the shortcomings.
