...***...

If time leads me back to someone in the past, it could be a sign that the universe is telling us that we both have the same residual taste. Could it?

I would like to guess what Revi is feeling right now. We met for the third time in January.

I tried to stay standing gracefully using this Stiletto. But my feet are so sore. Stiletto, it was never suitable for me to use in the outdoor arena with a really crowded crowd.

I should've worn flatshoes, so don't get the wrong costume. Gee whiz...

"Wanna sit?" ask Bimo. I shook my head, I still want to stand in front of the entertainment stage to see Revi band with his friends during High School.

There are still many women who idolize it turns out, even though he has become a widower.

"Don't make it hard on yourself, sit down! Mas Revi already knows you're here, he'll come to you when it's done!" bimo said with a warning tone.

I exhaled. "I'm not sure he's coming for me!"

I reckon. He looks at me, but his eyes are not focused.

With a gameless feeling I waltzed away from the entertainment stage court. Trying to break through the increasingly crowded crowd because of the action of school bands that are valued by single women. Class sister and class brother Revi.

Claps and cheers filled the ears as Revi played his guitar. But I feel like I'm still lonely.

"It's a reunion, Lilah! Can't you just pout? People will think the princess is still heartbroken!" chirps Bimo.

I nodded slowly. "It's a reunion, but my only goal is to remember the memory with him, with his high school friends!" defensively answer.

"If your goal is only to remember the days of High School, remember the good and spirit of High School teenagers! Not like this!" Bimo smiled slightly.

"Smile!" continued again.

I smiled wryly and watched them, trying not to be envious.

Some of our classmates are already married, have adorable little kids.

Some are still alone even though they look happy with their lives.

Eyes warm. Who is the man who will be my husband? Who dares to ask Father for blessing to ask me.

And not because I'm a voter. I just didn't really want to open myself up to other men - other than Revi, because I knew the problem would be the same.

Fathers, noble titles, rules and everything that binds to my veins. It was as if it was the nadir of those who approached me. Or should I try to open my heart to male-other than Revi, so that I know how other men fight for me? Struggling to melt the heart of Ayahanda?

I nodded unconsciously. But I glorified my first love too much, worse I did not know myself in front of him.

I wonder how he's lived his life for seven years without me. But it was too intimate and interfering in his personal affairs.

I exhaled. Revi's been so emotional. I'm budging. My heart sank again in a sea of hope that seemed blurry.

"Where are you going?" ask Bimo.

I was looking for a reason to leave this place. Indeed, I should not have joined the reunion because Revi must have been busy with her High School friends. He's the skier and the head of OSIS still has a lot of fans. And I'm just a destroyer of his moods.

"Take me go home!" my answer.

Bimo's gaze scolded me. "Didn't find your wish and wanted to run?"

I frowned, pretending to be confused.

Bimo smiled understandingly.

"The twilight is coming soon. Sit down for a minute, Lilah! Daddy's been letting you out the night until nine! Isn't that fun for you?"

Ah, ja... That sounds fun. But if you just sit around while enjoying the atmosphere of this earthquake it does not feel exciting.

"Let's get a kulineran! There are a lot of friends who open food stands!" take me with a spring.

Trying to shake off the fact that Revi didn't come to me.

Bimo nodded in agreement, he accompanied me to picky meals and say hello with other friends, we chatted in turn and we sat again in the long chair facing the twilight sun with many food wrappers in our hands.

"That girl likes you, doesn't she, Bim?" ask me with my eyes sparkling with jokes.

Bimo snorted coldly. He took out his snacks, biting them hard, with eyes full of emotion.

"Somewhere.." I said withholding a smile. Bimo pulled out his phone. "Be the object of my photo, ndoro princess!" I nodded, he was taking pictures with his camera when

dusk is absolutely perfect in the western horizon.

One by one, the alumni of the school left the reunion place while the sky darkened.

I smiled with relief. Today is quite fun, quite a lot of different stories from every human who went back and forth, greeted and stopped for a while in this long chair.

"I'm going to the toilet for a second, Bim! No need to take care!" I cetus instantly as the souls of his bodyguards burst forth instantly. "Wait in the car!" continue while passing. Bimo agreed with resignation.

I looked for the toilet in confusion, really I peed and Stiletto really can not be invited to run.

I wailed while running small between the dim garden lights until I fell gracefully on the grass.

I'm pissed off. My Stiletto went too deep on the loose soil.

"You're still so careless!"

That sound. I'm looking. My breath's stuck. It's a shame I thought, but he's not willing to laugh at me who's still this careless.

Revi reached out her right hand, her smile curling at both corners of her lips.

I reached out to his hand, grasping it tightly so that he could pull my body.

"Stiletto slalu is a hassle!" I said grinning while tidying up my dress.

Revi smelled a smile. "You seem to be in a hurry, need something?" ask her in wonder.

"Toilet! I'm looking for him." I answered straightforwardly.

Revi gave a short chuckle, he pointed towards the small house in the corner. "That's the toilet!"

Gosh darn. I didn't even think the toilet was cornered.

"Thank you!" I'm gonna pay my ass off while taking this Stiletto off. "Bye.." I said as I ran to the toilet.

I smiled in the toilet. "Too much ice drinking is not good!" I muttered before opening the door.

I nearly closed the toilet door again as Revi crossed the side and leaned against the red brick wall in front of the toilet I was using.

"You want to go to the toilet too?" let me have a little chat while I'm wearing Stiletto again.

"I'm waiting for you!" Revi's smile widened. "Princess wants to see you again, can you come to my house tomorrow morning if you don't have a job? I ask you respectfully ndoro princess!"

"Can! I can do it!" I replied directly without aling-aling.

Revi chuckled amusedly. "Wouldn't your bodyguard take the trouble?"

I'm shaking. "That's easy!" I wave my hand. "See you tomorrow, Rev! Don't forget the banquet for the princess!"

Revi nodded, and waved his hand at me.

I cheered happily when no one saw me and fell back down again because he was bothering me.

...Happy Reading's...
