A Light Fountain

A Light Fountain
Who her?



*my story now feels different


the story that came suddenly


My race wants to be able to have you right away


Although it's not right for me to get you


Love just flows


So hard for me to get redammed


Even though I know feelings


You and I cannot escape


Let this be the way*


(B band's loyal song, Charly's vocal)


The chants of songs played from the phone are heard through a headset attached to the ear, Assena eyes closed to live every word that contains meaning for him.


The shadow of that moment of togetherness, of that person, of longing, of hope and of waiting all comes together when the song is heard.


This song, the song Petter played while at the lake at the time, Petter said that it was his favorite song.


The song was over, and it was not heard from again. He took a slow breath, his eyes began to open. Looking at the dark sky with starlight as a dot scattered. Yes, Assena was on the balcony of her room, she was sitting leaning against the sofa.


Looking at the stars, "what is he? does he remember me?" he murmured in the heart.


___


Days had passed, after the graduation, when Assena learned that Petter was gone.


Assena became quiet again, and the joy was extinguished again after Petter left.


Because Petter's figure made Assena can smile as warm as the morning sun, and now it's as if Petter went to take everything. Only leaving Assena who returned to being her former self.

"I'm going to talk to my daughter about it, but I honestly can't force it. It all depends on his desire. If he's ready, of course I'm grateful we'll be besan. Even if my daughter refuses, I can't do anything." Say Arkan while sticking the phone on his ear. He was sitting on a pile of pillows in his bed.


Shortly thereafter, he ended the conversation with the voice call.


"What did Mr. Jemmy say?" asked Evelin who was beside Arkan, also who had been listening.


"Jemmy wants to match his son to our son, Assena."


"Which one is it? Alvin or Petter?" ask Evelin again.


"He said that Alvin would be in a match with Assena.


All I know is that Jemmy sent Petter overseas to continue his studies." Arkan.


"What, abroad?" Evelin. "I think Mr. Jemmy will match Petter with Assena. Because I think Assena's closer to Petter." There was disappointment on his face.


"Yes, I thought so before. How I talked about it with Assena. I doubt his reaction later." Said Arkan twitching the base of his nose.


"We talk about it slowly, no matter what the decision. We have to accept" said Evelin, sliding his body and rubbing Arkan's hand.


"I see, I also expect our daughter to be paired with one of Jemmy's sons. It would be nice if we could make a message with Jemmy" Arkan smiled. "But I can't if I have to force Assena, I'm not a good father to her, I'm not that hard to tie her to an arranged marriage. I want to free him to choose a person who will be his companion in the future. Surely the best, who can make him happy, who can take care of him more than me who is just this useless father." Arkan now sounded a tone of sadness.


"Don't talk like that, no matter how bad we were in the past. But now you're still the father who's trying to make his kids happy." Evelin said, leaning his head against Arkan's shoulder.


And again, a frequent conversation


it ends with the past.


**


Soon Assena will start college, he was enrolled by his father in a famous University by majoring in business. Because Assena is already in the field as the successor leader in his father's company.


While Jasmine was enrolled in the same University, it's just that she took the faculty of medicine. His father was also a doctor.


And the happier news is, his cousin named Yumna son of uncle Rey is also going to college with him.


Reportedly in a few days Yumna will soon move to this city.


**


The roar of the car engine down there, distracting Assena who was sitting leaning against the sky and looking for fresh air on the balcony of her room.


Immediately he stood up and peeked from the second floor where the balcony of his room "Who came? are Bi Nem and Mr Sur back?".


Assena did get news that bi Nem and Pak Sur have returned home.


"But why just one day, and they're back." Assena said while looking down there.


It was seen that Mr. Sur and bi Nem got out of the car, and a young man was also seen coming out of the car.


Because Arkan always allows Pak Sur and bi Nem if he returns home to drive one of his cars.


Assena's forehead shriveled. "Who is that? I just saw it," he murmured.


Because it was dark at night, just exposed to the lighting of the lights alone, making Assena not too clear to pay attention to someone who he felt was foreign.


"What is a new officer? I don't know." He said by raising both shoulders.

Morning has arrived, today is still a holiday, Assena has not started her college activities.


As usual on holidays, Assena woke up late.at 09.00 he just woke up, then asked bi Nem to deliver breakfast to his room.


After the bath, Assena still dried her hair with a towel.


Tok tok tok, "This lady aunty brought breakfast" bi Nem's voice rang out behind the door.


"Come in bi!".


Bi Nem had put a tray containing some bread, jam and a glass of warm milk on the table.


Bi Nem did not go straight away, he was still standing. "Anu miss after breakfast sir asked the lady to come downstairs."


Hearing that, for a moment Assena stopped her movements that were drying her hair with the towel. Not long ago he nodded his head, "Good bi".


"Aunt excuse me, miss." And Bi Nem has disappeared behind the door.


"What did you tell me to go downstairs?" muttered.


Fifteen minutes after finishing breakfast, Assena stepped down one by one the steps, with questions and curiosity so filling her head.


Before arriving at the guest room, Assena had a peek first.


He could see Arkan and Evelin sitting. And there was a young man whom he did not know, they seemed to be chatting.


"Who is that guy? looks like the guy I saw last night." He muttered with the direction his eyes looked straight ahead observing the young man.


After observing, Assena ventured to reveal herself.


The sound of his footsteps, made the person in the room simultaneously turn their heads together.


"Good morning dear" said Arkan smiling.


"Sit down!" evelin patted the sofa, telling Assena to sit next to him.


Assena has her body.


"Darling do you remember who he is?" arkan pointed to the young man.


Assena looked at the young man, and the young man was looking at him. They looked at each other, a warm smile etched from the young man's lips.


"The smile.... She's she? who's she?"
