Tonight the sky is full of a sea of stars. The flickering glitter of stars is like a beautiful gemstone. I looked up at the night sky while sitting on the silky smooth grass. The cold, senjuk atmosphere calmed the restless soul.
From that corner, the man came to me. Then he sat down next to me and gave me a drink with a shy face of a cat. With a sweet smile I took that drink from her. I opened the lid of the drink and I sipped every freshness in it while enjoying the atmosphere.
Not a word came out of us. We were silent to each other while looking at the night sky. I again felt awkward and nervous about where to begin to break this silence. I waited for him to start talking but it didn't seem like it was going to happen. I decided to start talking to him first.
"Why are your soccer practice results now ?" ask me a little stiff and stammering.
"As usual there's nothing interesting" she replied awkwardly.
"really ? not as usual."
"What ?"
"Eh mom-it's nothing." I said nervously.
The atmosphere was quiet again between us. I was panicking and confused because I was talking wrongly. He also looked like he was still reluctant to speak. It makes it hard to start talking to her again.
The man took out a guitar from his bag, then he started strumming the strings and playing a song. Songs that express apology. I listened intently to every song and song that was performed by him, as if our minds were connected through this song.
In the midst of a brilliant game, he stopped playing. Then he held my hand. His hands felt warm like a warm room. He looked at me and finally started talking.
"I'm sorry to you, Aon" said the man, massaging my hands.
"I should be the one apologizing for being too.excessive to you." I said with a feeling of regret and shame.
"Not really, if I'm not that hard on you want maybe you don't need this fiber on me."
"Hm... Yeah maybe it was because of me too because it made you so angry back then."
"No, you did nothing wrong once. "he fell silent again while releasing his hand from me.
"If I may know, what made you so angry back then ?" ask me with high curiosity.
The man still seemed silent from before. His face was facing wetness. I saw a fellow look red as a tomato. It made me wonder what I was feeling right now. But I undo my curiosity first to make it relax a little.
"You know our school days are together everywhere."
"..."
"You're very good to me. Always help me when I am happy or difficult. I really won't be able to find anyone like you anymore. I am grateful to be able to meet you." I said with a smile and rubbed his back.
The man closed his face tightly. It looks redder than ever. It seems I caused him to be embarrassed by my words. Then I pat her on the shoulder so she feels calm.
He lifted his head and faced me. The red face is still clearly visible. But this time the eyes look teary. It makes me confused and shocked at his condition like that.
"What are you afraid of Bright ?"
"I'm afraid of losing you. My mom or dad, they never had time for me. You're the only one paying attention to me. That's why I'm afraid of losing your attention when I'm with other people" Bright said with increasingly teary eyes.
I was surprised to hear a confession from him. My heart felt faint and I had to hear it. I hugged him tightly while rubbing his head. Her tears washed my shoulders. As I thought, I still don't know him completely. But the next time I realized that we had to be frank with each other.
"It's okay, I'll always pay attention to you."
As time passed, we walked back to our homes. As usual, he took me to the boarding house. Though I wanted to drive him home, but his stubbornness did not change so I had to give in. It's up to him what he wants as long as he can be happy.
I've been standing right at the boarding gate. The man still stood nearby. I asked him to come home soon so that it would not be too late to return to his house. He just smiled and took off his guitar bag.
"Why ?"
"Please bring this guitar for me tomorrow." handing me the bag.
"Huh, well I'll bring it up like you're so tired."
"Hm..Then I'd better stay by my side first" she said in a teasing tone.
"No, no you stink, you have to go back to your house to take a bath."
"I can shower here."
"Your changing clothes aren't here." I insisted as I held him in.
"I can wear your clothes with ************" he replied casually.
"Bright, don't joke around and go home" while holding back the laughter from the words.
"Ok, okay I'll go home. But before that I want to do this."
The man slowly approached me, then he gave a hug back. I was swept away in the warmth of his wounds. But my consciousness returned from smelling his foul sweat. I pushed him out and told him to. With a smile at home, he finally left.
I entered my residence full of my tools of discovery. I lay this body on this soft and comfortable cushion while releasing the tired and tiredness from my body and heart. My gaze was facing the ceiling of the house while thinking about today.
I can only smile and be embarrassed. The pillow that was in my head, now I hug tightly until it crumbles. My feeling was so happy and relieved that I was finally able to resolve my problem with him. The burden borne by this heart feels like a balloon floating gate.
From this I also learned to better understand others than to have to think badly of them. Not only Bright but Horou, Frans, Elanda and others too. They are valuable people for I also have to understand them as well.
My hair stood up instantly, it seemed like I found a new formula. I again stood from the comfort of a soft mattress.With a heart full of enthusiasm I again made a new discovery with this formula.
