A World Without Seams

20

Rachel was still watching television with Cecil and Mommy that night. Several times they laughed to see the comedy show on television until finally Cecil said he would sleep. Mother also firmly told Rachel to sleep and rest considering she had just healed.

Rachel moved from the living room to her room. He immediately lay down and covered himself with his beloved soft blanket. Thirty minutes passed but he was not sleepy. He thought about the book yesterday. Rachel wakes up and grabs a book written by an unknown person.

Rachel's eyes widened when she saw a new inscription engraved there.

Welcome back. I miss, though,

How could this man know he had come home from the hospital. All he knew was that he was sick to his office friends and family, besides that no one knew or visited. Did any of them write this? But impossible, this book was always in his room.

The writing made him unable to sleep. I don't know who's doing this. When he finds his person he will ask many questions, whether he intends good or bad.

Unable to sleep, Rachel opens the door. The other room was already quiet, he tiptoed towards the top floor. I don't know what he's bag there but he always draws his heart when he's thinking about something. It was like being hypnotized to come upstairs.

Rachel got upstairs. He spread out the carpet on the floor and sat there while opening his sosmed account. While reading an article, Andre called.

"Hello" said Rachel after pressing the green button on her phone.

"Hello, haven't you slept? Am I interrupting?" ask Andre across the street.

"No, I can't sleep,"

"Why? it's gonna hurt again, don't stay up first,"

"No, I think it's because most of the rest and sleep from yesterday. What's the call for Mr. Andre?" Rachel Goda.

"But formal! what am I the hell?"

"Hahaha, that's so old!"

"Hmmmm,"

"Well angry?"

"No, no,"

For a moment Andre was silent, so was Rachel until Rachel thought that their phone connection was cut off but it was still connected.

"Ndre? Hello?"

"Ah yes, sorry I sniffed a bad email. When did you start working?"

"Why? Kangen?"

"Yes,"

"So it's home, then,"

"Still missing, can we not walk sometime?"

"Uhmmm can be the origin of leisure time,"

"Okay, sleep, it's late. You don't sleep at night. It's just healed,"

"Yeah, baffles!"

"The same boss so,"

"Wildamah! It's not in the office" Rachel chuckled.

"Yes, I closed, bye,"

"Bye," Rachel pressed the red marked button on her phone. He put the phone on the floor and walked to the window. Open the curtains and walk to the balcony.

His eyes were on the park across the street. She was lonely but she saw the man dancing. This time he danced with agile movements to and fro. Rachel noticed his movements and was amazed by the dance that the man was performing. When we see it as if we feel what it feels. Unfortunately, he did not have any acquaintances.

For a long time the man danced until he ended Rachel smiled. The man wiped his forehead and drank the water in the bottle he was carrying. As he looked up to drink his eyes glanced towards the window where Rachel stood looking at him. The man nodded and countered Rachel with a nod.

The man sat on one of the swings and played the bottle in his hand. I don't know what she's thinking but Rachel can't take her eyes off that guy. Men who look like foreign nationals and are stranded in this area. Doesn't it look flashy? But Rachel had never heard any rumors about a handsome-looking man with silvery hair. And even nge-dance.

Again. The man turned his head and looked at Rachel with a smile. Then wave. Rachel simply nodded and felt clumsy from being caught watching the man from afar. Rachel immediately went into her room and closed the window and the curtain. He went back to his room and lay down.

For a long time he could just be shut down. Always look at the man's face. Men with sweet smiles and thin and red lips typical of foreigners. Finally he yawned and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Rachel woke up from her sleep and saw someone sitting next to her while looking at Rachel who was sleeping. That guy! Rachel immediately sat on her bed and moved away.

"You! What's in here?" ask Rachel.

"Calm down, I just saw you for a second. Already eaten?" ask her with red lips, white skin and silvery hair. Rachel just nodded despite being scared.

"Where did you go?" ask Rachel.

"Front," he answered pointing to the door of the room.

"What... Does your mother know you're here? Cecil?" ask Rachel.

"Calm down, if you're not noisy they won't know,"

"Ja... So you?" ask Rachel.

"Sst. I just saw you for a second. I'm sorry I couldn't see you in the hospital,"

"How do you know I'm in the hospital?" ask Rachel.

"Oh yes, if you can't sleep you can accompany me to dance in the park," he said, not poking Rachel's question.

"No!" rachel replied firmly.

"Are you scared? Aren't you enjoying my dance?" ask again.

"Not really, I just wonder why you dance at night,"

"Why should you be surprised? Didn't you also do your work at night? We're with Rachel,"

"Ka... You know my name?"

"Of course, doesn't everyone in this house call you that?"

"You scared me, go! I don't know who you are!"

"No, I'll be here always" he replied with a smile.

"No...! Bundaaa! Maiteyoo!"

"They won't hear you,"

"Go you! Bundaaaa, toloooong! The cecil? Braaaam?" Rachel screamed and could not run. I don't know why his legs are so petrified and can't be moved. He was only able to move his head while calling the person who was at home.

"Calm down" asked.

"Typeaaak! Motheraaaaa! The cecil! Braaam! Help me!" tears flowed down Rachel's cheeks. The man rubbed his tears and smiled making Rachel even more afraid if the man hurt her or did pervert.

"I told you, relax. I just want to be friends" she said, whispering in Rachel's ear.

"Bundaaaa," call Rachel slowly.

"Please, don't cry. I didn't do anything wrong to you" he said desperately.

What did nothing wrong. Entrance without permission and disturb Rachel's sleep in her room. Isn't that a violation of privacy and something is wrong?

"Yetoooooooo! Bundaaa! Maiteyoo!" rachel shouted after a moment of silence. He hopes you hear it.

The man stood up and looked at the door, the sound of footsteps approaching Rachel's room. He glanced at Rachel for a moment before running over Rachel's window a second before she entered.
