LIFE SECONDS

CHAPTER 4: AFTERNOON IN THE PARK

The season has now changed, the leaves have turned yellow, the branches have begun to lose their leaves and flowers, autumn has come.

Counted that it had been 3 months since Zuito lost his trophy. Their relationship is still close even though it is not as harmonious as before. Because after all, forgiveness is not easy.

Rei had already started trying to live his normal life again after his therapy for these 3 months. Because for the past 3 months, he did not dare to go out or socialize with other people.

“Now it has started to enter autumn, huh? I wonder if there have been many tree leaves that have fallen?” Say it while smiling.

He also took his jacket and hat, clamped down on some of the hair bangs that disturbed his eyes, and did not forget to bring some of his pocket money.

“Today, I will be out after a long stay at home. It will be so much fun.”

He went out, closed, and did not forget to lock the door of his house. Why so? Because everyone is leaving now. So, the house should he lock back.

“I'm leaving,”.

Rei walked slowly, moving away from his house to the park in the city.

Along the way he saw many people. These people were talking about different topics. Starting from his home problems, problems with his girlfriend, celebrity gossip, even some of them also discuss politics.

“Man's basis. The man if he had met, would have talked to each other.” Say it in the heart.

He walked quickly through a group of people who harassed others.

“The strong man always has the power to oppress those who are weaker than him.” That's the conclusion from him.

After going through various groups of people outside there, Rei finally arrived at the park. He took off his hat and gently inhaled the air of the garden.

“The aroma of fallen leaves is so soothing, yes.”

He then looked around, “Ah, there was a seat there.” And walk towards the chair it was in.

He wiped the chair, sat it, and rested his head on the chair. His eyes looked straight up at the sky, at the white clouds, and the birds in the sky that afternoon. Occasionally he closed his eyes and hissed slowly to the rhythm of the wind.

“What an incredible calm.” That's what he thinks.

Although at first he imagined the excitement and crowds in the park. However, now he even felt grateful because the park this afternoon was not crowded as usual. So, she could become a little calmer after the completion of that 3-month therapy.

Well, that's. Expectations and realities are often contradictory. Yeah, right?

“Hmm.. this scent.. I think I know him.”

A soft and sweet fragrance passed through it. He closed his eyes, sharpened his sense of smell, and searched for the source of the scent.

Until his attention stopped on a cart that read "Cotton Candy".

He then smiled, “Already expected, there must be cotton candy. Let's see if my money will be enough to buy it.”

Rei then left his chair to go to the cotton candy seller. He looked at the price list and taste variants of his cotton candy and smiled after finding one of his favorite flavors.

“Excuse me, I bought this one 1, yes.”

“Good, ‘Nak Rei.”

Rei was silent for a moment, he tried to rotate his brain faster in order to immediately recognize the voice. He raised his eyes to see who the cotton candy salesman was.

“Fetishment.” The mind in the heart.

“I haven't seen you in a long time, you're getting pretty, yeah.”

Rei tried to calm himself so as to remain calm and not lose control. He also tried to regulate the rhythm of his breathing and heartbeat so that his body did not lose consciousness again.

“Sound healthy?” He said with a bitter smile.

“Thank God you remember uncle. Uncle's been looking for you for a year now, said you left school, huh? Wh why? Are you afraid to see Uncle again?” Said the man in a mocking tone.

Rei was still trying to smile even though his hands were already clenched as if he wanted to punch him.

“Hey, come. Don't hurry up. We just met after a long breakup, you know. Uncle still wants to spend time with you longer.”

The man still laughed at his words. He looks very relaxed and underestimates it.

the other with Rei. He started getting serious about his words. He was so sick of that guy. Let alone meeting him, hearing the news that he was still alive had made Rei feel nauseous instantly.

“Give me food or I go.” Speak with a cold tone.

The seller was silent without answering. The look in his eyes also began to sharply follow the look in Rei's eyes.

Because he felt he did not get what he wanted, Rei finally chose to go without his cotton candy.

At the end he said one sentence, “If only there was something that made me regret today, it was to meet you again in the same situation as back then.”

After that, Rei left. He left the park, walking around the city before finally reaching his home.

“I'm home..”

There's no answer. Again the house is deserted because the others still have not returned.

Rei locked the door and walked towards his room. He dipped his face in his blanket and his pillow. Slowly she began to cry, her body trembling violently with her irregular breathing. He repeatedly cursed today, hoping that he would not go to the park and choose to spend his time at home.

"Why is my destiny so bad. Though, I thought this was my best day after all this time. But why the opposite?"

"Why does that guy have to be again? Why did that person have to appear again when I started to heal from my wounds at that time."

"Why should he look at me with the same eyes and eyes?"

"Surprising.everybody is scary..."

He continued to cry, crying bitterly until his brothers came home. Countless of her tears had been shed.

Erland who passed by in front of the door of Rei's room heard his crying voice and immediately called out to his other brother.

Felix and Valencia immediately headed to Rei's room to ascertain how he was doing. Valencia hugged him and Rei was calmed down by them.

Valencia tries to ask Rei to tell him what happened, while Felix holds Rei's hand to help calm him down.

With a rush Rei tried to tell her everything. From his desire to take a walk in the park, to the uncle of a cotton candy seller who he really did not want to meet. Everything Rei told me.

At first the two of them still did not understand the problem, why could Rei cry just because of that? However, after remembering Rei's reason for leaving school that time, they also began to understand the core of the problem.

Felix immediately calls his female friend to ask for his help guarding and patrolling Felix's house tonight. He did not dare to ask his male friend for help when he was in this condition, because he was afraid that it would worsen Rei's condition.

Erland and Zuito just sat quietly outside. They did not dare to enter to meet Rei. Because, when in such a situation, they would prefer to wait beside the wall of his room and give Rei some time instead of coming around Rei.

They knew exactly what Rei was feeling at that moment. Endless fear and hatred each sees itself.

“Tsk-that damn bastard.” Erland slapped her hand against the wall. The blow left his hand slightly injured.

Zuito just fell silent, he did not know what to say, repeatedly he cursed himself for leaving Rei alone without anyone accompanying him.

"I'm so sick this time.." That's how his mind is.

They both hate this reality. The fact that they can't take good care of his brother and protect him from the bad guys out there.

A thing came to their minds. That, “I'll kill that guy someday.”

They looked at each other for a moment and nodded. It seemed like they knew about what was on each other's minds.

“Alright, this time I will cooperate with brother.”

“Let's get revenge.”

Unbeknownst to the others, they both go on a secret mission. A mission that might be a problem for them later on.
