LOVE THAT SPEAKS

YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ME?

The sound of Salisa's cry had unknowingly grabbed the attention of the man sitting beside her. The man who had looked down earlier turned his head towards Salisa. "Why is this girl not ashamed to cry on the plane." muttered the man while peeking at the face of the woman he thought knew no place to cry.

"His face is very similar to Salisa my old high school friend, wait-luck. Let's not say this woman is really Salisa. Why is he now wearing glasses? The world is so funny." The man recalled the time he was often called the bespectacled boy by Salisa.

"Do I really have to make sure that he's Salisa. But it seems like his mood is not good, I should not bother him first." Said the man in his heart. Then the man continued his sleep which had been disturbed by the sound of Salisa's cry.

Salisa still could not control the emotions in his heart, tears continued to fall when his heart was sad. "Why is this handkerchief getting wet like this? it sucks so." Salisa in the Heart. Salisa then looked for the tissue in his bag. Unfortunately he did not find a tissue or anything to wipe his tears and snot. "Why does bad luck still follow me? How about this, if I go to the bathroom a lot of people will see me crying. That must be embarrassing." Salisa wanted to wipe her face with the clothes she was wearing. But Salisa then undoes his intentions. "Don't be Salisa's slovenly woman, at least if you're sad and crying, you have to be strong and look beautiful again afterwards." Once the mind of Salisa to calm his heart that has begun to improve.

Salisa looked towards the side. "Did this guy really sleep? What if he heard my voice crying? He will definitely curse and say to me in his heart." Salisa muttered while making sure exactly whether the man was sound asleep or not.

Suddenly the man stretched his body while yawning. The mask he had used was also removed. It seemed that the man did not realize that a woman was watching him. The man yawned again while looking at Salisa. So surprised he found a pair of eyes were on him.

The man looked very embarrassed. Moreover, he had been without hesitation to open his mouth wide when yawning and did not cover with his hands. "Sorry, sorry Miss. I was not intentional." The man then put on a cool face and kept his image again in front of a woman.

"That's okay, sir. It is I who apologize. I just wanted to, want to ask if you have a tissue or not? Yes sir, that's what I mean." Salisa was also nervous and looking for an excuse because he did not want the man to know if he was watching him.

"Sissue? You mean that thin white paper? What I brought him for. I am a man." Answer the man innocently.

"Ooh well then. Thanks." Answer Salisa with a little embarrassment.

"But I have a handkerchief to wipe your snot away." The man then took the handkerchief he had tucked in his pants pocket and thrust the small Navi cloth into Salisa.

Salisa soon realized that he had not wiped his snot. Deeply embarrassed Salisa immediately took the handkerchief and turned her face to clean the rest of her tears and snot. "Ah, what a shame. Why can I be this big" Salisa muttered in her heart.

"Thank you, sir."

"Hemm, you don't need to return it, you just throw it away after you've finished using it. I can buy more" said the man in his flat tone.

"Of course, sir, I understand." Salisa replied as she grumbled in her heart "Who would want to keep this handkerchief? How arrogant this guy is."

"But wait a minute, Miss, I was very curious. You look a lot like my old school friend. If you'd know what Miss's name is?" Ask the man to let go of the peaking curiosity.

"Really Sir? Where did you go to school?" Answer Salisa who is still reluctant to mention his name.

"At SMA Bakti Bangsa. The most elite school in my town."

Hearing the man mention the same school name as him made Salisa's eyes perfectly round. "That's where my school used to be." Inner Salisa while looking at the man's face and remembering who the man beside her was. Salisa tried hard to remember the faces of his friends who used to be similar, if similar, but he does not remember at all if he used to have a friend as cool and handsome as a man who had been waiting for an answer from him.

"Who is your name, sir? I used to go to school there, but I never seem to have friends like you."

The man laughed with pleasure. "So you're really Salisa? Don't you remember me?"

Salisa shook her head while continuing to think about who the man really was.

"Ako Jason, Salisa. Do you remember now?"

"Jason? Jason who used to look cute and have glasses?" Salisa frowned in astonishment because Jason's current appearance was very different from the Jason he used to know.

"Yes Salisa, Jason you used to call the boy in glasses. Now I take my glasses off and replace them with contact lenses. But the funny thing is why you're wearing glasses now." Jacob said as he pointed at Salisa's glasses with his chin.

"Ahh yes. Suddenly my eyes became minus after college graduation. Maybe because I read too many books." Answer Salisa with a little embarrassment.

"What books do you like Salisa?"

"I read more romance novels than knowledge books." Salisa's reply is getting embarrassed.

"Emm a lot, but one of my favorite novels is a collection of works by a talented writer who initials J. Starmans. Have you ever read it?"

Hearing Salisa's words made Jason spit out the drink he was drinking. "What did you say? J. Starman." Jason looked very surprised, but you were implied by the look of happiness on his face.

"Yes, I think his works are very fantastic. Right now I'm even bringing his sixth novel. Last night I just finished reading it. I'm actually very curious about him. Because he never put his face in his biography or meet fans. I admire him so much and would love to get his autograph." Salisa said excitedly in every speech.

Jason laughed again. His heart was delighted to hear all the praise from Salisa. Because the author actually has the initials J. Starman is himself. All this time Jason did not want if his original self was published. "Can I borrow Salisa's novel?"

"of course. Do you like it too?" ask Salisa and take the Novel in her bag that was above her lap. "Here we go." Salisa said while presenting her novel to Jason.

"You got a pen?"

"Of course." Answer Salisa and get her to Jason right away.

Suddenly Jason opened the first sheet of the novel and put his signature in it.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you just let me and dirty my novel." Salisa said a little harshly and recaptured the Novel and the questioner.

"But you said you wanted to get a signature from the original author. And now you've got it." Jason answered casually.

"A a what? You are actually J. The starman? and that J initials for Jason?" Salisa looked very surprised and embarrassed half to death because from earlier he praised him half dead and also slightly snapped when Jason just signed his novel.

Jason simply nodded his head and smiled wryly at the girl.

"But why haven't you ever published who you really are? doesn't having a best-selling work sold to millions of exemplars really boast?"

"It's proud of me, but not of my parents. They wanted me to continue their business and not allow me to channel my writing talent. So all this time I've been hiding and secretly writing in my spare time." Jason's face looked a little sad.

"Huh, that's right." Salisa took her breath. I actually like writing too. But I also have to help my dad take care of his company. So the time for me to write is very limited, and I am not as happy as you are in writing. My work is only published in online media and is not well known at all."

"So you like to write too?" Ask Jason who was happy it turns out Salisa also has the same hobby as him.

"Yes, but I salute you very much. Although you are busy with business work that drains time and energy, but you can still publish a novel as cool as this." Salisa said while showing the novel he still holds in his hand.

"Hahaha, I'm so glad you praised me like that Salisa. But I beg you not to tell anyone about the real identity of the author of this novel. I don't want that one day until my parents' ears.

"Yes-yes I promise. I was planning to talk to my sister who also really likes all your work. We often read together when we have the same free time."

Now the two are talking here and there about the world of traveling. There is no end to the interesting topics they talk about. Until the plane took off and landed at their destination airport. The two are still talking, sometimes they also tell about their school days are full of memories.

Jason used to be a quiet student and did not hang out much with his classmates. Only Salisa often greeted him, but even then Salisa also often mocked him as a glasses boy. Very different 180° with Jason's current appearance that looks cool and charming. After arriving at the airport, they split up and exchanged contacts.
