Love Note
_note two_part twelfth
James was restless at night. Zabrina's words had attacked her mind like insomnia. James sat on the sofa he deliberately faced against the glass wall, which showed a picture of a thick night with several points of visible light between them. Then her mind began to fill with things about Helen.
Yes, said Zabrina. Is it that easy? But with yesterday's events making James more convinced that Helen likes to change guys, this shakes up her belief. What if after being successfully pursued, he only lasted 2 or 3 months? The thought kept replaying in his mind now.
Feeling very sad, James began to rise. Take his jacket and hurry away. The wall clock is eleven o'clock more. At this time that leads to midnight, the streets seem to be preparing for a big party. But James' fear made him feel nothing. He tried to shift his attention by observing everyone who passed by around him.
But failed. He still feels bete. He tried to enter a club that was holding a live music event. Still failing. His feelings have not changed, even more bete.
James continued his journey until his footsteps took him to the spot where he saw Helen the day after. It stands in front of a small alley with the words ’toilet’ and arrow direction. Then looked around, and it turned out right next to it was a cafe with a name known to James. Belongs to Helen's father. Just deserve. Really played with destiny, he thought.
’Groove me! Beach season’ is written large on the banner that is plastered in front of the door. A music party on the beach just behind the cafe. And James immediately stepped in without a second thought. I don't know why he didn't even know it himself. And now he was among the euphoria with laser lights that shot to and fro, music with grooves that jolted harmoniously, as if kicking between the dark sky and the sand. The smell of the sea mixed with the scent of sweat, alcohol, and the smell of charredness felt normal to them. It feels hot when the wind blows hard.
James just stood a little further away from the party venue. The place where they swayed and danced in front of a small stage that was like an altar with a Dj in front of a turntable, which was like a prophet with his shiar. Those who are there have a variety of different purposes and reasons. But that difference has been brought into one by a feeling equal to each other. Maybe their love of music and parties is what makes them feel like no different.
Unfortunately, all of this still fails. James' feelings have not budged. And then he continued it towards the beach. The cold night beach.
The cold salt water that touched the leg began to calm him down. James gouged out his body and felt the water with both palms. He knew he had to determine his attitude. End this useless thing. The sea water really helped.
”Release!” Suddenly a scream came from James' left.
James tried to squint his eyes and used to stare in the dark.
”Let me go! No!” That faint cry began to clearly sound, the voice of a chick.
James stood up and after his gaze got used to it, he found two figures rolling on the sand. Without a second thought, James ran over. It was seen a man violently forcing a girl lying among the sand. No longer did James immediately pull the man away, and throw his punch at the man until he fell down.
Looking a little shock Helen just fell silent in her position sitting three to four steps in front of James. His breathing is irregular. He frantically fixed his clothes and then his hair.
”You're okay, right? No one was hurt, right?” James asked as he reached out his hand as suddenly from behind a punch steadily landed right on his cheek.
James fell down instantly. It looked like the man had risen to his feet with a slight stagger. And before doing anything else, James had stood up and lunged at the man with a punch. Baku hit also happened. Luckily, the man was a little drunk, which put James in the wind.
After several blows and grunts, finally the victory was on James. Although it has also been staggered by the opponent.
Helen, who was now able to stand up, just stared silently at James. He took a few steps back as James approached him.
James then looked at Helen with a breath that was wheezing ”Next time you have to be careful” he said later while leaving Helen who still did not understand the situation.
Helen looked at James who had left her, not knowing what to do. He wanted to call James but was stopped.
James was also still inexhaustible with all the things that had happened just now. So fast and so hard to understand. But at least he was grateful, because he was at the right time even though maybe not the person Helen expected at that time.
James returns to his hotel and it is unexpected that Helen follows James from afar. A little curious where James was going. And even more curious when he saw James entering the star hotel.
Actually, he just wants to say his gratitude is very difficult to express because it is held back by his excessive ego. But then he realized what he was doing now.
Why would he do something so stupid. He was watching someone from far away. Someone who is nobody. Someone who is far more advanced than himself. And quickly before anyone saw him, soon he went by.
