Lost In Loneliness

I'm doing just fine

Starting in the evening, Flora and Alvaro are forced to stop the search for Almond. Flora was still panicking with the sudden loss of Almonds. They've been looking for Almonds all the places they know, houses, parks and squares near the Almond house they've been to. Almonds are nowhere. Had the intention to contact the police, but Alvaro thought it was excessive, after all if the police report, 2 days will be processed.

They split up in front of Almond's house. Planning a search tomorrow morning. Because tomorrow is the weekend.

"Flora, don't be sad continue, yes, God willing tomorrow Almond met," said Alvaro while patting Flora's shoulder.

"Where do I worry, you know for yourself, right, Mr. Didi said Almond was running around crying, if he's doing anything?" reply Flora while covering her face with both hands.

"Yes, I understand, you pray the best for Almond, tomorrow we continue to look for him," said Alvaro.

"Alright," Flora replied as she bowed her head.

On the other hand, Almond is sitting quietly on the edge of the river while looking at the flow of the river. He cried so much that he wished all the burdens in his heart to be carried away by the river.

"Why should I?! Why?!" shout Almond.

"It's all unfair, I'm just a weak child who usually just moan and complain, don't give this ordeal to me God, I give up," ringis Almond.

Now, Almond remembered his father's words before he died.

'The sun always shines on the world, when it is often covered with clouds, without ever getting tired he continues to do so to benefit the citizens of the earth, while the moon, he illuminates the night while accompanied by stars that decorate the night, he said, as if forgetting the sun that has helped him to shine,'

"Dad, am I able to shine with their treatment? The moon and the stars attacked me together as if I were a pest to be exterminated, if you were here, I would be relieved" Almond said.

Suddenly, the rain was very heavy, Almond immediately ran towards his house.

"Damn! I was still reluctant to go to school, but yesterday I had one day off" Almond said, covering his body with a blanket.

'tok tok tok'

"Hmm, who the hell is going to come to the house early in the morning?" asked Almond while covering his ears with 2 pillows.

"Assalamualaikum, Almond." That voice sounded familiar.

Almonds soon rose from the dispute.

"Wa'alaikum'salam" replied Almond as he opened the door.

"Eh? Alvaro, what are you doing here?" ask Almond.

"Alhamdullilah, you've come, you know, 2 today I'm the same Flora looking you everywhere, every day round and round to your house to make sure you have nothing, where the hell are you from?" reply Alvaro.

"Yesterday I was at home, again a school males, is it okay a day doang?" almond.

"Now you go to school, yeah. We'll talk later at school with Flora" Alvaro replied.

"All right," said Almond.

"Almonds! Where are you going anyway? I'm worried about you" said Flora, hugging Almond.

"I'm not going anywhere, from yesterday I was home," Almond replied casually.

"You why? Said Mr. Didi you cry," asked Flora.

"I'm fine" replied Almond.

"Certainly, I was a bit surprised, from yesterday one school said lo continue, I don't know what they were talking about," said Flora.

"Here you go, let them talk about me as they please, but what they're talking about is true, after all, whatever I do would be right or wrong is wrong for those who are right" Almond replied. A cynical smile was engraved on her face, a scene that was new to Flora made her wonder.

"What exactly happened to you?" ask Flora.

"I'm fine, class is almost done" replied Almond.
