Light 1: Sandekala

Special Reward

May 12th.

I'll take Shanty for a walk. Since yesterday he's been nagging us because we forgot his birthday.

I remember what he said last night.

"Danny, did you forget something?" tanyanya looked at me strangely.

"Mmm, no. Is there anything I've forgotten?" askaku.

He even watched TV in the front room all day until Ian came home.

"Eh! Ian's gone home, "sweet.

I didn't know what was going on with her that night.

"Shan, I'm going to go straight to bed. I'm exhausted. You'd better get some sleep, too" said Ian, leaving her.

"okay! You guys completely forgot, huh? Or pretend to forget?" ask her with a quip.

"forget? Forgot what?" ask Ian.

"It's my birthday. The time you forgot?" said disappointed.

His face looks ridiculous.

Maybe angry.

I can't tell the difference between being angry and being angry.

All night he kept nagging. Commenting on us with his behavior made us laugh.

We didn't know he was serious that night.

"Yes. Ja. Forgive us Shan. Now what do you want?" ask Ian.

"Tomorrow, you, Danny! Gotta take me for a walk all day and give me presents. And Brother Ian should give you the gift you promised me last time" Shanty said.

"Hey! Why are you smiling?" shanty asked, surprising me who was thinking about last night.

"No-no, Shan."

"Let's go!" sergeant.

"Good! Alright!"

I turned on the motor.

"Where are you going?" my many.

"Let me see it on my list, yeah."

He opened the little book he had brought.

"The first thing I want to do is play in DREAMLAND!" yells.

"How many activities do you really want to do?" my many.

"A lot!"

"What?!"

"Oh, don't complain! Just watch your way!"

Dreamland, the only place I don't like in this town. Maybe because I have bad memories of this place. When I was a kid, my mom and I rode the cable car. And there was a problem with his wife. The cable was almost broken, we were stuck in the middle for 5 hours.

"Dane, let's get on that!" he pointed to a very terrible roller coaster the first time I saw him.

"Shan, we'd better play something else, okay?" my proposal.

"Come, Dane! You have to ride it with me!"

He pulled my arm and took me up a game that I don't know who first made it must have been crazy enough to make a game like that.

"Dane, are you okay?" tanyanya saw me vomit because of dizziness.

"I-i"

"Looks like you're okay! Now let's try another game!" he patted me hard on the shoulder and pulled my arm. Dragging my body that has not fully recovered from nausea.

"Do you have enough courage, Dane?" he asked when we were in front of the haunted house. "Let's go in!"

We boarded a mini-car. The carriage walked slowly down the dark hallways in the room. There are all kinds of ghosts there. Scare every visitor who enters it. It didn't scare us until a few meters from the exit, there was a figure that gave me goosebumps. And that black hooded figure became the cover of this haunted house trip.

"Okay, that's enough in Dreamland. Where are you going now?" my many.

"Shopping seems fun!"

We walked around the biggest mall in town. I don't know what he's looking for. He ran to and fro, looking at the unique items from floor to floor. I saw a clothing store by accident. There was a vest that caught my attention. Length is only so. It's the same shape that Shanty gave me but this one is for a woman with a creamy thick collar and light brown.

I bought that outfit as a birthday present for Shanty.

After that, we went to other crowded places. And on the eve of the night he took me to eat the Black Forest in the usual place.

"Are you satisfied?" ask me in a satirical tone.

"Not yet, there is one more activity that I want to do" he replied.

"What?!" my eyebrows are complaining.

ALBIAN CINEMA'S. The nameplate of the cinema is clearly displayed from the street.

"Watch movies?"

"Yes. A few days ago I saw the trailer on TV. That's a good movie."

We sat in the back seat. Watching romantic movies that I find boring while eating popcorn that we have bought before.

"Danny, why did the man leave his girlfriend?" shanty asked her to watch the movie while eating her popcorn.

"There are times when you have to choose. Between your private life or the lives of many."

"If I had to choose between those two options, I would choose the lives of the crowd. But it is also not necessary to sacrifice your personal interests for the benefit of others" he said.

He put his head on my shoulder.

"Danny, is there someone in your school you like?" tanyakanya.

"What do you mean as friends?" askaku.

He laughed at my question. "Didn't you understand? Or pretend not to understand?"

I know, Shan.

I know what you mean.

And the only person I like is you. Do you know that?

I have no courage to express my heart to you. Maybe it's better for us right now like this. Free, without jealousy, worry, and heartache.

I know you're a strong girl who doesn't need male protection.

The night is getting late. He was still sound asleep on my back when we got home. I carried him to his room.

"How's streets? Pleasant?" ask Ian.

"It's exhausting! We went to almost all the entertainment venues in Albian."

"Oh so, yeah! Fortunately, he didn't take me."

"You haven't slept?" my many.

"I'm waiting for you to come home" he replied. "Oh yeah, Dane! Put this next to him!" he gave me a box wrapped in wrapping paper.

Before we went to bed, I put a present from Ian and from me by his bedside.

"May you be pleased with our gift" I said softly to him who had fallen asleep. "Good sleep, brave princess!"
