ATHENS (TAMATE)

chapter 19's

In the morning Zahra's aunt had gone to work early this morning and Athena had woken up and had morning activities.

Athena today wants to take a walk out of the house, "It looks like today will be sunny" she said.

" It turns out that here is your house, "a voice shocked Athena, and Athena turned to the source of the voice.

" You, were you not the one who was on that park bench who was otherwise wrong..you wept over that very pointless thing yes," replied Athena with a little remembrance .

" Yes."

Athena smiled "So, what are you doing here ?" ask Athena.

" I thought about what you said to me back then in the park, so.. can we be friends ?"ask the woman .

" Do you want to be friends with me?" ask back to Athena.

" Yes."

" Why, why do you want to be friends with me?"

" Because you're good."

" I'm good?"

" yes. If you're not good there's no way you're gonna give me a tissue to wipe my tears and you're gonna talk to me, because everyone is staying away from me only you want to be close to me and even sit with me" he explained.

Athena seemed silent for a moment,

" You're saying that I'm a good person, what if I'm a bad person?" ask Athena.

" You can't be mean to me if you're mean to me already from the beginning we met you hurt me, and again even if you're a bad person even though I'm still going to be friends with you because you're the first one to talk to me" she explained.

Athena smiled "We're good friends."

" Are you serious about what you say ?"ask the woman.

"Yes." Yeah."

" Well, since you are now my friend I already know your name now I will tell you my name, my name is... "

" Lyra," said Athena quickly.

" Wooowww.you already know my name, how could I not have told you my name. "

" The nametag in your uniform told me first."

" What? so my nametag can talk to you until I know my name and then my nametag talks to you about anything other than telling me my name, what?"

" It goes without thinking, you want to go for a walk" said Athena.

" Ayoooo," Lyra replied with vigor and energy, they went for a walk spending time playing and laughing together, it may seem a little strange to you that someone who has just met for the first time suddenly makes friends and can quickly adapt, it all depends on the comfort side of each how they or he adapt to new things with positive thinking.

Time passed quickly but they had not returned, they were now on the edge of the lake resting for a while while looking at the beautiful city from the edge of the lake while chatting for a moment.

" You know I'm so happy today I have a friend, this is the first time I've had a friend, I used to have no friends what more a friend they stayed away from me because at that time my family had problems and ended up with prison, for corruption cases and also murder plans, he said, whereas I knew my family had never done that my family was being slandered, back then I didn't know who to be angry with with my family or with the mass media that had ruined my surname, for years my family name was smeared and in the end all returned to normal my family name was clean, even though I had to be imprisoned butii.. still no apologies to my family when everything is just the past, but everyone stays away , do you think there is still an apology for my family and myself?" Lyra told Athena everything about her family.

" No matter how big and small the mistake must be there is an apology, only the wound cannot be treated" replied Athena.

" So you think my family is still unforgivable and that social sanction is forever for my slandered family?" ask Lyra.

" Your family has been forgiven, it's just that the social sanctions people give you and your family will still be there" explained Athena.

" You're right. I'm still being bullied, humiliated, hated, humiliated, can I get a little happiness just a little bit more" Lyra said.

" Aren't you happy, you still have a family that's always there for you, that always gives you all the facilities that exist even now you have a new friend, do you still ask for it again?" athena.

Lyra seemed to think of Athena's words.

" remember! you are not alone, you must rise up and show everyone, even the world, that you are not alone, you still have people who love you more than anything." athena said full of support for Lyra.

" Yes, you're right I'm not alone, I'm not alone" Lyra said with a smile rising on her face.
