Fire Sun

Next Hand

Naraya's applause sounded the loudest when Adit finished singing. The girl's eyes also sparkled happily. "Well, I rarely find a band that can bring such clear Toxicity."

Gesna turned back to the stage. There are Adit, Miko and Bara. True, said Naraya, the band Adit had performed metal songs with acoustics and still good. He then glanced at Riko. "Bang Miko performing here?"

Riko put her avocado juice while nodding. "Yes, I'm not here to let you watch them perform. That's how many of them stay here every Saturday."

The others nodded in understanding. Naraya whispered something to Asri then they both laughed.

"Heh, if you gather ramean should not whisper both," commented Riko.

Naraya leaned in and whispered to Riko. There were unpleasant eve that Gesna could feel. Looks like it's about him. Gesna grabbed the phone, tried to contact Thunder. That guy used to exist as his savior from all sorts of dangers.

"Is he ready yet?" riko asked with a mysterious smile.

Gesna put the phone down. His phone did not answer Thunder. "Yes, ready. What's the?"

"Singing!" Riko pointed at the stage. "On the stage."

Gesna. "Yinjer!"

Riko then walked backstage to meet the MC. Gesna. If you are told to go to the stage, it is okay. But if there's Adit, he'd rather die somewhere.

"Harakiri is me" he whispered to Naraya. "Lo's idea, isn't it?"

"Somewhat." Naraya shook his head while knotted.

"Guess, Nay. Who could gini certainly do lo!" Gesna started glaring. If ideas work badly on people, the children of Pespel's canteen are the king.

"What's the matter, anyway? Just a regular time." Asri joined in their conversation. "Atau ... you start groggy near the Chief?"

"So pretty, Ci. Don't be so damn ignorant!" Repeatedly Gesna swore. A small sigh that only Naraya and Asri could hear. Instead of feeling guilty, the two of them grew increasingly stupefied.

"Good night, cafe goers. How's it going Sunday night?" greet Adit. "Is anyone else in love? I think a lot of it, yes. That's all his face."

The guy sits on a round bench while receiving a paper spoon from the MC. Adit was silent for a moment, before long his lips knotted amusedly. "Well, didn't I say it? There are so many love songs. This is about to shoot the bluff?" adit asked the tables filled with a pair of young men.

"So much, he's the one who wants to shoot, I'm the one who's asked to sing." Adit then chuckles. "Well, it's ok. To make it sweeter, The Tahan Banting will perform special songs for those of you who have a crush on someone. Maybe the person is the one who recently spent time with you or who is in front of you."

Before Adit strummed the guitar, the MC advanced and gave Adit an extra sheet of paper.

"Sori, there's a request from the table." Adit pointed to the table where Gesna and the others were. "Say .. whose name is Gesna want to follow the singing together. Be able. Come on, Gesna's here."

Adit started waving towards him. It could be that the dim rays of the cafe hide the already pale face of Gesna as pale as possible. If he could teleport, maybe Gesna would disappear until Antarctica. But Gesna can't do anything, including resisting the encouragement of the five evil friends who put her on stage.

"Here dong, Gesna. Don't go far. Who knows we are suitable," Adit's tease that makes the entire cafe cry 'ouch' loudly and simultaneously. Naraya and Asri's voice sounded most clearly in his ears. Sialan.

Gesna scratching the back of the head that does not itch. Adit looked at him with a clear face. Indeed, Gesna likes to sing, but not also sing in public without preparation at all. Naraya needs to be mutilated.

He climbed up the stage that was as tall as a hanky and got closer to Adit. Whisper to the guy if he's not competent to sing in public. Thank goodness Adit understood.

"So guys, at Gesna's request, she won't sing." Adit's words just now made Gesna sigh in relief. "But .. because it's already on stage. You made me sing, didn't you?"

Not waiting for Gesna's answer, the guy strummed the guitar. "Spent 24 hour. I need more hours with you. You are spent the weekend. Getting even, ooh ooh."

Adit turned to himself as he chanted the song. Make Gesna automatically throw away face.

"We spent the late nights. Making things right, between us. But now it's all good baby. Roll that Backwood baby. And play me close."

Gesna small melengos. Why is Adit's gaze like that? A kind of gaze that contains elements of charm. Idiho, idih. Put on a show to see him continue again. The guy doesn't realize that his eyes can remove lasers? Gesna back clucking.

"Cause girls like you. Run around with guys like me. 'Til Sundown, when I came through. I need a girl like you, yeah yeah."

Adit stood up and approached towards him who was already as stiff as a statue. The distinctive aroma that had been nearby was re-smelled, participating in playing a knock on the chest. Adit's left hand was open, the image of the fading giraffe was still there. Oath to anything, Gesna never-before wants to be kidnapped by monsters this time too.

On the other hand, Gesna's groggy face was very comforting to Adit. Maybe the girl was aware, at this time they were the attention of people, so she could not freely hit Adit's shoulder or back.

Adit smile. Remembering how last night his back felt heavy and Gesna never answered when called. He drove the bike slowly, afraid Gesna would fall. And contact Gustav as soon as he got to the yard.

Girls are funny, unique and what they are. Not trying to be sweet or making things up. There is no shame in admitting to being hungry and asking for food.

All the way home, Adit felt his heart in the horse race, galloping. The contents of the stomach are also twisted, do not understand why. Just because the apple smells from behind your back.

Adite smiled and noticed Gesna who was still silently pensive. His hand flicked in front of Gesna's face to get the girl's consciousness back.

It all feels free to Adit. He couldn't even control his suddenly stretched out hand, slipping Gesna's hair behind his ear. "Girls like you's. Love fun, yeah me too. What I want when I come through. I need a girl like you, yeah yeah."

"Yeah yeah yeah," said Adit as he opened his palm with a picture of a giraffe. "Yeah yeah yeah. I need a girl like you, yeah yeah."

He pointed at Gesna while smiling back. Adit hopes Gesna knows what he means.

It was not Thunder not hearing the calls on his phone and incoming messages continuously. Only, he wanted to accompany Joceline sitting in the hospital garden.

This is the second time he has visited Joceline. The girl's face was already not so pale, and her smile was always plugged in. Thunder was relieved to see the change.

In Thunder's life, he was always taught to provide help and support to the sick. It is not an obligation but it is a form of compassion and empathy for fellow human beings.

So if you have to choose, of course Thunder will choose to accompany Joceline rather than hanging out in a cafe.

"Hape lo the sound continues" Joceline said breaking the silence. "Thank you, gih. Important times."

The thunder stopped the push in the wheelchair, looking back at the phone. Gesna's name is on his screen. Then he made a silent mode. "Kids, ngajakin kongkow."

Joceline's wheelchair heads to the park in the middle of the hospital. An open space filled with flowers and manicured plants. There was a small fountain in the middle of the pool. The pool is circular. Around there is a seat that is deliberately made for visitors. The place is quiet and comfortable, a relief of visitors and hospital residents who always deal with life.

"Oh, yes. I forgot it was Sunday night. Yeah, had. Lo unplug it want to kongkow same kids." Joceline looked back. The thunder that had been pushing his wheelchair just fell silent.

"Tur, you must relax. I'm not sick because of you. Relax Bang, relax," he said, trying to show your face does not mind.

The wheelchair stopped not far from the fountain. They stared at the water that gushed high up, then fell down, breaking into foam.

"There's no good either. It was finished that he fell deeply, "Thunder replied.

"But, he's in the process again, Tour. Go back up and fly at high altitude without fear. Awesome, right?" joceline.

Thunder unmoving. After he was told by Papa Joceline about the condition of the wheelchair patient in front of him, why does Joceline still look friendly and strong? This girl has lost her mother since childhood. The same, because of the heart. Not none of the sad sentences Thunder read in the yellow book, but in his eyes, Joceline did not let himself slump. Maybe after issuing sadness in the book, Joceline then rose and cheerful again. The girl never intended to escape from the problems she faced.

"If you can be great by being Joceline. Why is it a fountain?"

"If I'm reincarnated, I want to be a fountain. Let's jump up high, not be afraid to fall and cheer everyone up." Joceline chuckled, not poking at the question just now.

"If so, I'll be a fountain pole," said Guntur up from the back of the wheelchair. Stand parallel to Joceline.

Joceline is smiling. There was a pair of small dimples at the end of her lips. "Because what? Because you're tall, is that it?"

"Yes, yeah? Not exactly." Thunder sat next to Joceline. His eyes looked at the fountain that the girl admired. "Because of the fountain pole that helps the water to fly as high as possible, it helps the water to get up and rise again after falling down."

Thunder rubbed his head slowly. Joceline felt something was clogging his throat. What dream is he, God? It seems he didn't dream of finding Aladdin's lamp but why did his hope come true?

In the life of him who does not know will end in few seconds, the arrival of Thunder these two days is like a real miracle. Joceline's chest was rumbling. The lightning was no longer frightening in his eyes. Thunder transformed into the thunder that he had waited all his life in the sky. Bright, jarring and shaking his world. However, comfortably. He no longer felt alone. He always wanted to be with someone next to him.

"Tur, it's not good to be with your friends." Joceline dared to touch Thunder's arm. The guy woke up from the reflection. "Many thoughts very, Bang?"

"Lo kayak Pelangi only, call me wear Brother," replied Thunder.

"Roof?"

"Yes, my grandfather. Next time, I'll see him, okay?"

Joceline pulled the arch on her lips again. I don't know how many times he's smiled in the last hour.

"Yes, I'll take you to the room again, okay?" bring Thunder later.

The hand of Thunder that would push the wheelchair restrained him. "Nothing, I still want to see the fountain. I'll just go, I'll go back to my own room."

The guy looked at him masygul.

"Really, Tour. B aja, kali. Yes, yes, sana. It'll get stuck." He waved to Thunder, subtly expelling the figure he had always expected to come.

Thunder nodded and left. Joceline looked at the towering high back that was getting further away. If God had sent the man as the antidote to all his pain, he would have asked God to please him as Thunder pleased him.

Her tears are shed. Joceline looked back at the fountain while wiping away the cries.

Victory comes with defeat. One side, finding the existence of Thunder when facing his fears is a long-awaited victory.

But, Joceline knew, he would not be able to win from Gesna. He knew Gesna was calling Thunder repeatedly. Often with Thunder when spreading proposals, make him know that the ringtone of Gesna is different from the ringtone of other callers. That girl is special to Thunder.

Joceline realized, she clapped one hand. In fact, Thunder did not want to pick up Gesna's phone and tell her he was with her. The man was also seen trying to hide the unrest. So with full awareness, Joceline asked Thunder to leave her and the guy actually left. Joceline sobbed again. Her chest hurts so much.

The Thunder motor had already arrived in front of the cafe. After putting the helmet on, the guy walked in. The atmosphere of the cafe where the appointment today looks artistic. Many small lights were wrapped around the tree. The lighting is set not too bright but still within reasonable limits. On the table, there is an electric candle that adds to the romantic.

Thunder Steps stopped. Although far away, he memorized the figure that was on the stage. He had always memorized the shadow of the person he had been with for years.

On stage, Gesna was with Adit. With his own eyes, once again, Thunder saw that familiarity. See how Adit slipped Gesna's hair behind the ear. See how Gesna misbehaves up there. Heart's burning.

The thunder docked to the darkest corner and was also closest to their table. Trying to steal hear what they're talking about.

Gesna has come off the stage. The girl glanced fiercely at Naraya and the satisfied Asri laughed at her. Even after Gesna sat back down, the laughter remained.

"Yes, Nay, Ci. Megem deh," protest Gesna risi.

Naraya. "Let's go, you're both so sweet. Fits, really. It's not in vain we support you."

Naraya was not aware that Thunder was behind the tree behind them.

"Support who?" sela Riko was curious.

"Yes... Support Gesna with Adit. How the hell are you?" added Asri.

"meaning? Meanin? I don't want to." Riko approached, asking to be clarified.

Gesna hurriedly advanced, embracing the two girls between his arms. "There's nothing. They both do this, Ko. What time is it now? How come Thunder hasn't come yet, has he?"

Thunder glanced at the clock, ten o'clock. Gesna was waiting for him. He would have appeared if he had not heard the phrase that cracked all hope and trust.

"Gue knows now!" I thought I was just back from the toilet. The man patted the table enthusiastically, drawing the attention of the entire table towards him. "My message from earlier felt like I'd seen Gege's shirt. Turns out, the clothes are like the Bang Adit I saw this afternoon at basecamp."

Ilham's hand pointed to Adit's figure. The guy's shirt is covered in a jacket.

"It just so happens that the picture is the same. It's like lo gede-gedein," snorted Gesna while glancing towards the stage. Not long the girl's face pias. Because Adit has removed the jacket and clothes in question emblazoned real. The color of the shirt, the piece of clothing, and the Toothless image show that the shirt is not an ordinary shirt.

"What a coincidence? Same as gini. This is her dress!" exclaim Adrian excited.

Thunder took a step back. Moreover, he saw Adit starting to get closer to their table. The man who had finished singing was standing right behind Gesna's chair. Reaping the mocking rhyming dehumans of Naraya and Asri.

Thunder saw Adit reprimanding the others, then approached Gesna by patting the girl's head gently. "Non, I think my wallet left at your house, this morning."

There was no more silence now, Naraya and Asri immediately cried out widely while coughing in amusement.

Thunder nods his head, trying to understand. Gesna has found her prince. He is just a lover who claps one hand. There or without him, Gesna will be fine.

He should have known and realized that Gesna only considered him a friend, nothing more. He should have retreated long ago. She should have stayed in the hospital, accompanying Joceline who was secretly crying if she left. Not coming for Gesna who was secretly lying to him.

Thunder turned around, deciding to leave without joining in.

Because right now, priorities speak of which is more important. And Joceline needs it more than Gesna.

How is the Gesna-Thunder team?
