Looking for a Blue Sky

Looking for a Blue Sky
Chapter 87: it's (not) Sweet Seventeen



Rea looked at her appearance in front of the mirror, she was wearing a plain dark blue shirt and a knee-length tartan skirt with matching colors, a small circular bag on her shoulder, flat shoes black banded into the choice of footwear, while his hair he let straight with a crown-shaped hairpin embedded on the right side of his head.


His lips smiled but his occasional sighing showed that he was being overwhelmed with anxiety, the knock on the door and the sound of Ulfa delivering a message that her boyfriend was waiting downstairs made him rush down.


He walked up to the Eagle sitting on the living room couch, the boy standing with a smile when he saw Rea who was so beautiful that night, they then walked out of the house to Eagle's car to go to the night market as they promised three days ago.


Along the way they can still joke while on the night market, they enjoy the atmosphere like other teenage couples, several times they try the rides and games that are there, he said, do not forget to buy sweets according to the wishes of Rea.


After tired of circling the entire night market area they sat in an open field that was still in one area with the night market. It looks like a big stage in front, it turns out there is also being held an art show, people have started to put themselves even long before the event began, he said, the goal is only one to get a place close to the stage.


"Happy birthday" said the Eagle, who was sitting on his knees, smiling Rea, and thanking him.


"I really didn't bring a gift for you," the Eagle grabbed the girl's palm, hooking their fingers for her to hold.


"Do you know Lang? at first I did not want to move to this city at all, especially when grandfather said I had to look for you, like carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders, but after meeting you I was very grateful, thank you for being present in my life, he said, thank you for teaching me what love and affection are, meeting you has become the most beautiful gift for me, I do not need any gift from you, I always feel happy whenever I am around you, thanks for everything."


The eagle smiled at the words of the girl beside him" but still you said you would ask for your gift when we came here, now say what you want!"


Rea tilted her face, confidently and without tears she asked the Eagle to break up with her.


"We can still love each other and look after each other but just as a brother and sister, I want that as my birthday gift."


The Eagle's heart ached, but he couldn't possibly cry in the crowd, let alone be a man.


"Do you really want a gift like that from me?" tanyanya.


"Hem... Yes," replied Rea.


But he unknowingly tightened his hand to the Eagle, revealing the disconnect between his heart and mind.


"Can't you just ask for that gift later?" asked the Eagle in a hoarse voice holding a stuffy feeling on his chest, his eyes looking at the eyes of the girl in front of him.


"At least until we graduate High School, because at that time I'll go straight away from you, I'll go to college in New York as I promised papa and om Farhan"


The flash back


The eagle approached Arkan in his class to ask for Farhan's HP number, but the man asked Arkan not to tell Rea about him intending to contact his biological father.


"Why?" ask Arkan.


"Because it's men's business" replied the Eagle.


Arkan was speechless not to ask further to the girlfriend of the girl he liked so much.


Before Farhan returned to his city he met his son at a restaurant, Farhan offered a savings book to Eagle, and said he would send money regularly to the account.


Eagles looked at the savings book on the table that was proffered by Farhan earlier, his hand grabbed the book then opened the top two pages, he saw the nine-digit number at the top of the savings book as the initial balance, he saw the nine-digit number at the top of the savings book, He closed it and then moved it to the side.


"I want to make a deal with om" said Elang.


"Can't you call me Dad?" asked Farhan expectantly.


"I'm sorry I'm not used to it" replied the Eagle.


Farhan sighed while leaning on his back in the chair.


"What deal do you want?" farhan asked the boy in front of him.


"Let me and Rea stay as they are now, at least until we graduate school, because after that I will go study abroad as you wish."


Farhan's heart was sliced, the boy called Banyu papa while calling himself om, but then he realized that the boy was really not used to calling him the name he expected.


"This is my first request as your child, I hope you can grant it" continued Elang.


Farhan could not bear to hear the Eagle's words, then agreed to his son's request with little constancy and anxiety.


Flash back off


"Why?" tanya Rea heard the reply from the Eagle.


"Because I need time to digest everything that's going on between us, don't we already know that later we won't be together, so will you enjoy this together with me? at least don't split up right away, let's end slowly, but if it makes us fall deeper, can you be selfish and just think about us," the Eagle's sentence really made Rea's heart feel tight, even tears had already fallen from the corner of her eyes.


The eagle wiped the tears from the cheek of the beautiful girl in front of him "Don't cry on your birthday," she asked softly.


Rea then releases her hand from the Eagle, using it to wipe away her own tears, again she fails to end her relationship with the guy.


"Some say that first love is hard and never ends happily, I don't believe that sentence at all until I feel myself now, I know that my relationship with the Eagle will not have a happy ending, but I will try to make sweet memories in the middle, because I also deserve the memories of my first love," whispered Rea in the heart.


The art stage in front of them began, the master ceremony mentioned a mama band from one High School to take the stage, the master, they performed a song that seemed to be a backsound where now Rea and Eagle were sitting looking at each other while lamenting their feelings.


Just give me a reason


Give me a reason


Just a little bit's enough


Just a little bit


Just a second


Just for a second


We're not broken just bent


We're not broken just a little hurt


We can learn to love again


We can learn to love again


Oh, it's in the stars


Oh, it's written on the stars


It's been written in the scars on our hearts


It is written on the many wounds in our hearts


We're not broken just bent


We're not broken just a little hurt


We can learn to love again


We can learn to love again
