Apis

Mikko

Aping and Nisa walk towards a cafe waiting for someone they will meet. Then order some food and drinks while you wait.

"Hi dear sorry yes a long time," said a man while embracing Nisa's shoulder from behind.

"Don't you love sitting here." Nisa invited Mikko to sit down.

Mikko was his classmate when Nisa Junior High.

"Is this Aping?" Mikko pointed at Aping in front of him. Aping nodded.

"Who knows me?" Aping asked himself.

Seeing Aping's confused face, Mikko finally spoke back.

"Gue Mikko your upperclassman was Lisa."

Aping patted his eel.

"Jeez bang sorry I pangling ama lo." Aping finally shook hands with Mikko.

"More handsome am I?" mikko said with confidence.

Aping just smiled.

"It's still a lo bang" said Aping and Mikko nodded.

"Yes dong Ping Oya so the person you mean yesterday malem si Aping Yang?" Mikko looked at Nisa.

"Yes that."

"What the hell is it?" ask Aping curiously.

"Gini Ping I tomorrow there is work out of town, home mallem, well by chance tomorrow also I have to take my engagement clothes to the boutique and take some necessities for my fiancee Nisa."

"So?" Aping listened carefully.

"So I'm gonna hire you to be my bodyguard for Ping's day tomorrow," this time Nisa's talking.

"Lo can you take care of my future fiance?" Mikko smiled looking at Aping.

"May bang but I ask for a wage," said Aping while grinning.

"This lo doesn't make any difference to what Ping used to do, you want to ask how many say?" mikko said with a laugh.

"Gue wants a free vacation for two people bang,"

said Aping without feeling awkward.

"Where can you call it a vacation?" Mikko agreed to Aping's request. To him, Aping's request was only a small thing in Nisa's safety appeal.

"Serious bang?" aping said in disbelief.

"Seriously when am I lying to you Ping."

"OK!" they shake each other's sign of agreement.

****

Aping sighed deeply, his encounter with Mikko and Nisa brought back painful memories of the past.

The past with Kiran is the first girl to rip her heart apart. Aping completely shut the door of his heart.Let him freeze for a time that Aping did not know.

Aping never believed Mikko and Nisa's words about Kiran. Her heart used to be bewitched by the beauty of Kiran's face. Without knowing the heart of the owner. Aping ignored the advice of two people he had considered his brother. Until finally his heart really crumpled made by Kiran. Regrets come but never matter. Everything has happened and Aping has to go through it.

"Why am I so hard to forget all this, I don't want to be single forever, but I'm not ready."

Aping held onto his chest. There is a sense of trauma when his heart will be hurt again.

On the other hand Ocy stared at the night filled with cloudy.Maybe the earth also felt his sadness.

"Did I fall in love with Aping why does it feel to love it hurt like this?"

Ocy recalled Aping's shadow hugging him as they were in the forest. There was a sense of longing that he was currently feeling. But momentarily vanished because the shadow of Nisa who grasped tightly Aping hand earlier, making the smile on Ocy's lips fade instantly.

"Did I lose before the war?" Ocy asked in his heart. There's a million flavors that Ocy can't explain. He wanted to have, yet he was afraid if his feelings were just clapping one hand. Because from the beginning they never knew each other's feelings.

"I thought the guy I could find more than him." Ocy hits his head, resuscitating his brain not to think about Aping continuously. Until the night got late, Ocy finally fell asleep in his bed.
