Dust Granules

rightful appointment

Today the sky stretches with its bright blue color. The wind blows slowly, making a sense of comfort when hit the skin.

A man was sitting pensively in a cafe playing a straw by stirring his drink.

Her face looks very chaotic. The reddened face, the random hair, looked extremely frustrated from the strokes on his face.

Leon. I don't know what this guy was thinking earlier. Her eyes looked empty and sad.

The atmosphere of a bright afternoon in fact was not able to brighten the heart of a Geraldi Leon who was moody.

Her mind swirled around remembering the moment one week before her.

The Flash back on Leon Pov

That afternoon my friend and I were given the task of shopping for supplies for the continuity of the event that has become a big family tradition from my eye era. I don't know where the idea came from, but we had to use all-new items starting from his cookware. Whether in the kitchen utensils used at the event before him I do not know.

We just obey the orders of the elders and go to the market using a kelotok ship because it is where we are on the river path and it is felt that this mode of public transportation will be very helpful. Considering our groceries later, of course, it will be very much. It will be difficult if we use the bike.

Upon arrival at the dock, without feeling the prestige of the five of us down from the boat and down the street that looks like a store lined up facing the front on the side of the road.

I also proposed to enter a store that seemed to sell various household appliances. I'm sure it will be easy to find our goods in this store. And my friend agreed by following my steps.

Before her, in the house we were suguhi drinks in the form of wine by the elders. And to appreciate the tradition that has gone downhill, we also sipped a little drink with the aroma of alcohol. As a result, everyone who passed us thought we were drunk. So that they will stay away because they do not want to deal with us, namely drunk people.

When entering the store also looks unhappy face from other visitors and from workers in the store. Maybe they're afraid that we're going to make trouble.

But there was one thing that caught my attention. When a shopkeeper lady came in with a grim face, she immediately obeyed the order from the woman behind the counter to lead us to find what we needed.

He patiently and painstakingly explained the superiority of the quality of goods with the difference in the price of goods contained there.

Sometimes I rubbed it by asking for other items, but strangely all the items I chose from a small towel, dipper, basin, teapot, small bucket, spatula, turned out to have the same price, fifteen thousand. Until I nicknamed her the 'fifteen thousand girl'.

But all my prank seems unresponsive to him. He was still patiently following my request which I made strangely strange just to see his angry reaction.

Until without me knowing when making a payment, it turns out that the case money in my wallet was not enough to pay for my groceries. I was forced to withdraw cash at Atm in shame.

I'm ashamed that if they think I'm just a prankster taking groceries as good as he can and can't afford to pay. And after I paid off to the cashier, we rushed out and looked for a cafe to order a drink or some snacks while waiting for the klotok ship we were riding moving home.

But when I got out of the cafe, I saw the waiter again. He walked alone, probably already want to go home to his house considering it was already evening.

When the girl realized my presence, she seemed to lose control of herself until she walked on a puddle of water that then littered her legs. I was flirting with this girl in front of me. The reaction was much different from when we interacted at the store. He looked very emotional, but while trying to avoid me his legs instead hit a rock.

I saw his big toe turn blue, and it looked thick blood wrapped around his toenails. Guilt enveloped my heart. When he was about to help her, he immediately shook my hand and let out a word of his hatred towards me.

"You don't know you're a bum. I hope I won't see you again. If you meet.." Echi's words hang.

"Do you want to see me again?" ask Leon

"You go to the store again, I'll be out of the store. Mending so unemployed me." replied Echi origin.

Flash back off

"It turns out he's actually a guy who likes to keep promises. Even she actually left after seeing me accompany grandma to her shop yesterday. Does he hate me that much? Until you actually quit your job at the store and walked away?" inner Leon in his reverie.

He deeply regretted his meeting with Echi which brought a bad impression. I want him to meet and apologize to Echi. So that there are no more feelings of guilt full of regrets that block in the heart.

In his mind Echi left because he had been completely distracted by his presence. In Leon's lifetime no one ever went away because of his self-loathing .So that this really feels like a burden that stuck in his heart.

"Arghh, should I look for where the girl is? Apologizing to her. To make up for the guilt feelings for her. If I hadn't been a prankster at that time, I probably wouldn't have felt this guilty. Maybe he felt very angry and depressed because he faced my attitude that was always nosy and made his emotions. Until you choose to go far. As far away as possible just to avoid meeting me again."

Sounded like a voice from behind Leon's body

"That's it, don't think too much. If you are a match, you will definitely be met" said the person who turned out to be Ario, a friend of Leon
