E. A.Y.N. E: Unreality in Reality
Chapter 01: "A Present for a Promise"
Sunday 08:30
Alarm sounds rang wake-up
BRACKET! The alarm clock struck the wall as a result of a kick.
"Whispering!! I'm awake!"
I'm sorry if I was a little rude and surprised. I am not an MC (Main Character) who must wake up late and listen to the alarm constantly beeping.
You think I'm gonna be late for this really important day? Nay! I know maybe my life's passive skill is as a loser. Therefore I always try one step forward to anticipate bad things that might happen later.
Not trying to get ahead of God, but you know? I am very careful when I take action.
"Okay, let's see. Redy black hodie jackets, redy blue jeans and wearing red shoes. (Perfect!)" I said in front of the mirror.
The concert started at 10 a.m., I still have an hour and a half left to go to the knick-knacks store to buy him a present. I grab a Smartphone on my desk, not forgetting wireless headphones as a must-have accessory for an Introvert like me.
Blam it! The sound of the door closing.
I'm out running leaving the boarding house. The two lovebirds sitting together at the door of his room saw my hasty departure. No need to say hello to those who have made my sleep comfort disturbed by the sound of his voice last night.
"Junk!!"
***
I arrived at the MRT station. Lots of people this week, parents and kids. Thankfully, they can feel that joy together. There are many people out there who are less fortunate and suffering. Take good care of your children, lest they get hurt mentally and heart. Because it is the most important part in man. Otherwise, you will only give birth to a new darkness on this earth.
"Sabang Lihum's Destination Train will be arriving soon, Please stay on the yellow line until the train has completely stopped, thanks."
I was thinking, if I die hit by a train can go back in time and correct all the mistakes I have made? If I could, I would like to apologize to my teachers, friends, and also to the people I have harmed. Unfortunately, it is only in fiction. All the bad things you've done in the past will only be regrets. (Why does my heart always feel sad when it remembers it). Is this what we mean by the sin of regret? It feels so tight on the chest.
The train had arrived, and started to stop in front of me.
The people around me started coming in when I stepped my feet first, most of them sitting down. I just stood up, because I'm used to this kind of thing.
As I listened to the music inside the headphones I was wearing, I noticed a part of their faces. Ah, that's the family that was. that little sister was cute as well, making my heart become moved. The smile of a child can make anyone happy. He looked towards me, his eyes really looking still holy. I would love to say hello to him, but only later on, if I were allowed to meet him again one day.
I was a little surprised, after this MRT train went into the middle of the city. Because in every billboard and in the videotron I saw a beautiful girl who was singing. (You know the videotron, right?).
That must be the preview! God, it's been 10 years that we haven't met and you're now meeting us with a very different status. What I'm going to say in front of him, I'm just going to say big mouth, or liar man. But that's okay, I also can't talk and there's no need for a reason for all that. Maybe, I'll just stoop in silence and feel ashamed.
Seeing her who has now succeeded in achieving her goals, has made my heart very happy. I am also very grateful, God still gave me the opportunity to meet him. I think this might be the biggest fortune of my life.
"Eng? Infinity Corporation's? What a building is so big." I said in my heart.
I think I'll get to my destination soon.
The MRT stopped, I got out of the train and stood there for a moment. Drugs, little brother. His intention was just to say hello in his heart, but without me realizing my hand waved to him. They smiled at me, luckily I was wearing a mask. So they couldn't see this shameful expression I made on my face.
"GPS, GPS, Let's try to open the GPS" The distance is only 15 minutes by foot. All right, let's get there.
I'm out of the MRT station, and I'm in district 17.
"District, Barabai?" I saw him on a big billboard.
Very cool this city, almost the entire building skyscrapers. Although the area is one of the Mega Metropolitan cities, they still maintain greenery by planting trees that look adorned on each side of the road. The sidewalk streets were also neatly arranged and completely clean until not a single piece of trash was visible in my eyes, except myself.
How could I hate a city this beautiful?
There are very crowded here, their clothes also look expensive. Naturally, they might be people who have worked hard and deserve to get the result, perhaps.
....
I finally arrived at this shop.
"Excuse me" I said before entering.
Inside it looks a lot of various kinds of merchandise, I look for those from my village, no huh?
"Sorry, can I help you?" there's a waitress coming for me, what am I supposed to do? actually I could have searched for it myself. But all right, I'll follow the scenario.
"Aah, I'm looking for a hanger like in this picture? Old model made?" I showed her pictures through my smartphone.
He was focused on seeing the picture, "There's a mas, let's go" I was told to follow him from behind and the thing I was looking for was in the right corner closet.
"Because this is an old model, so its status becomes a rare item" he said smiling while I was aghast after knowing the price written there.
Shit, the total price is the same as the salary I've collected for three months. I want to breathe can't I?
"How mas? is the mas interested in buying" Ahh, his smile. It was a customer-killing smile. "So mba, I bought one. And please pack it with a red ribbon strap huh".
"Good, mas. Please sit there to wait a minute"
I walked up to the empty seat among the few people sitting around. What this feeling is, suddenly my heart feels very empty full of emptiness.
"Sorry, excuse me" greeted me with a fake smile.
"Oh?" My fragile self, stunned with a hanger that looks different from the one on display lined up there.
