Lara's Admirers

Episode 94

　

　

We went back to the riverbank, saw him again for the umpteenth time. But this time I looked at him from a different angle. This place always has a surprise whenever we see it from all directions. There is always a charm of its own that it exhibits to show its existence. People never get tired of looking at this place from different angles. There are always people visiting this place every day. The Han River never looked lonely, it seemed like it wanted to stay alive the entire time. I never saw this place lose its life.

No need to be expressed in words anymore. This is really the right moment to enjoy a hot bungoppang at a cold monday like this. In addition, the sweetness can also increase energy. Do not forget the most important part here, which is certainly going to feel full. I've never found a bungoppang with this taste as good as before. Next time I'll come here to buy it. It would be a pity if I could only enjoy a good meal in this place once in my life.

“You tried mine?” bargain me.

I then nodded enthusiastically. Turns out Arka's bungoppang is no less fun than mine. The chocolate was completely melted inside this soft bread wrap. Seoertinya bungoppang is cooked in the right special way so it can be as delicious as this. There were always new surprises exploding as I bit her again and again.

Now it's my turn to offer my bungoppang to him. Red bean taste is also no less delicious with the taste of his chocolate. Peanuts are cooked so well that they become soft and smooth when ground to make a bean paste like this. A savory and sweet taste can also be obtained simultaneously when we bite it. This one food is really suitable to be eaten in cold weather like this. In addition to warming the body, this bread can also improve the mood that is chaotic.

“What's the taste?” ask the man while chewing on the bungoppang.

He seemed to be trying hard to guess what flavor he was eating right now.

“This is red bean flavor.” I replied.

“The red weasel for that rendang mixture?” ask the man again.

“Maybe.” I replied hesitantly.

“But the red beans here are usually used for stuffing that sweet rice cake. At first glance if you look like Japanese mochi anyway.” explained me.

“In Sukabumi there are also mocha times, haha.” reply while laughing softly.

“Yes too yes. But yes the point is so.” reply me.

“By the way I have also been given rice cakes like that loh same someone.” he said suddenly.

“Oh yes? Same who?” many spontaneous.

“When I first came to my present residence, my neighbor gave me a box of rice cakes. Very big, he said greetings know.” he explained so enthusiastically.

I then nodded in understanding with his words just now. It is indeed commonly done by people here for greeting introductions if there are new members in the neighborhood where he lives. Actually, not only rice cakes can be given for greeting introductions. Like taking a drink together or giving other foods can also be. It's just that it's more often with rice cakes.

“Eating rice cakes like that again delicious times yes.” he said suddenly.

“But this is not over.” reply.

“Ya wait out.” he said so casually.

It seemed like the cold air around here made his appetite soar. I think he'll be up a few kilos after he gets home from here. Maybe his friends in Australia will also be surprised to see this drastic change in him.

“So you are sure that we will stay here until night?” my many.

“As I said earlier.” replied.

I took a deep breath, putting both my hands in the pocket of the cold musin jacket. I threw my eyes in all directions. Letting my hair scatter due to the blowing of angina. Even my lungs are starting to feel so cold. Sometimes I look straight ahead, trying to guess what's on the other side. I thought there must be something hiding behind those towering buildings.

I will remember this day until anytime. Even if something bad tries to take her away from me, I won't let it happen. I'll make sure that time won't be able to fight me this time. They won't be able to steal my memory again, I will try my hardest to prevent it from happening again. Because it feels like everything is now impossible, that's why I have no choice. Even if the choice is still there, don't ask me which one I'll choose.

Nowadays, it is hard to say everything with words. Even one piece of evidence is not enough to justify yourself. It feels like for now and forever this is all I have of this man. All of today's events are the only parts of the Ark that I can still have. So don't make it any less force me to forget about today.

“Why if for example the day we hope will be good this time, even turned to lighten us?” ask me without needing any reason.

“Yes if suddenly there is a snowstorm or other bad things, continue because of that we can not be here until night to see the bridge.” I explained.

“Why can you talk like that?” ask Arka again.

“We may be able to hope for the best part, but we also have to be ready for the worst that will happen.” explained me once again.

“Lo is real too.” reply.

“But I will not let it happen.” he continued.

“It's a once-in-a-lifetime miracle. And today must continue to happen as I want. Even the universe cannot stop me. Especially fate, I won't let him stop me. Today is entirely mine and I have the right to chat all his things today.” he explained at length.

I just smiled slantingly while throwing a cynical look at him. This time his haughty attitude began to appear again. He acted as if he was the one who could manage all of today's events completely. What he thought if he had the special power to do all that or anything like that. He was not even aware of his current position.

Arcs can really change in an instant. Turned into anything he wanted, without the need to bother listening to what others say about him. Being optimistic is important, but remember that old saying. Anything that is excessive is not good. So let's start today just being realistic.

I sighed violently, thus creating a wisp of white smoke visible out of my mouth. I can barely speak again this time. My lips would almost freeze if I kept on staying in this place. I don't even know when he'll keep me here. Can't he just let me go home. That place is so much better than here.

Suddenly he took my hand and took my step with him. I don't know how many times he's done this to me today. If I could tell you the truth, I'm sick of all this. He always led everything in front and left the weak behind him. He thought that by doing so, he was able to protect the weak and deserved to be called a leader. If he thinks like that, then I can make sure if he is wrong.

My legs are tired if forced constantly to follow this man. I don't even know where he's going to put his foot. I don't know where he'll set foot on the next step. And I also don't know how many steps I have to take with him with me that continue to fall behind. I don't know when or where this will end. I wanted to stop him immediately, but I couldn't do anything at all. I can't just end this. I can't even if I want to.

I really look very embarrassing at the moment. The universe looks at me so scary. He threw all those harsh words and just attacked at the core of my life. I was like a real coward.

But anyway, I can't let go of this grip. He started it all, so I have no right to end it. He's the only one willing to volunteer his hand for me right now. All this time no one would reach him when I fell, even though I had stretched him out.

After walking some distance, he pulled over in front of a cafe. This time it looks bigger and more crowded than the place before.  He took me in there, without ever letting go of my grasp for a second. Then he immediately pulled me to one of the empty tables in the corner of the room. It was the only empty table in this place. This reminds me of our High School days, when we had to race fast in getting a table. It's really the exact same thing.

“We took refuge here first.” he said shortly after releasing his hand from me.

“Why?” my many.

“In the meantime snow will fall heavily.” details.

“Why did you even bring me here?” ask again.

“Why don't you prevent it?! Didn't you just say that you can handle all this and none of this will happen?” my continue.

I just realized that if my words sounded a little harsh. But that is the truth, how else.

“Gue has already done that.” he said with a difficult gaze to interpret what it means this time.

“At least I've managed to protect lo.” he explained.

“Yang lo lakain this is not the same as what you said earlier, you know?!” my word.

“So we are pretentious and loud of the universe, now even hide behind this wall like a cowardly seroang.” I explained.

“Semut even laughs at us!” satirize me blatantly.
