Loving You Secretly

Short Meeting

Every morning I walk cheerfully to the Bus Stop where there will be a bus that takes me to my college. Accompanied by the sunshine and the breeze in the morning.

I feel crowded living in this metropolitan city, the smoke of vehicles in the air everywhere. I rarely see trees here. I just saw a withered plant that might have been discarded by its owner. How lyrical.

Street children also started the action. With a burning spirit, he circled one by one the vehicles that were stopping with a song that was quite entertaining even though the tone was still fairly bland.

Until my eyes fell on a handsome man who was wearing his alma mater suit and carrying a tote bag. I looked at all his clothes from top to bottom. So perfect.

This time I saw this perfect guy. Unfortunately I was caught watching him, he looked at me with a confused look and immediately smiled at me. “A.. Lovely smile it.” murmured me. I returned her smile and was immediately embarrassed. But he immediately boarded the bus that he had been waiting for. He disappeared from before me. I feel like half of this soul has gone with him. But this time I tried to smile hard. “There is still tomorrow. Maybe He will wait for the bus at this stop again.”

The sound of the mini bus horn I had been waiting for since had shocked my daydream. I quickly stepped up to get on the mini bus. If not, I may not be able to sit and have to stand holding a dark circle during the trip.

On the bus, I was still thinking about the man. I can't seem to forget her charming smile. I have to see him tomorrow!

This morning is the same as yesterday morning. Before I set foot towards the Bus Stop, I had a glass of water to relieve my thirst.

This time, I deliberately left earlier than usual. Because I want to look at that guy's smile for a little longer. With a flowery heart I passed through the twists and turns of this journey. Now, I don't feel it anymore, chock-full of vehicle fumes. That instant of smoke turned into a white mist that enveloped the morning. The horn sound of the passing vehicle turned into a melodious song of the angel. The withered trees were like the golden plants planted in the king's palace, so thick and shady.

I look at all the people at this Bus Stop. I have not yet found the man I was looking for. “Ah! Maybe he hasn't come yet. Kan I deliberately came too early” murmured me.

After waiting for about 20 minutes. I haven't found that guy yet. The sweet smile that I had developed from now on slowly turned into an insipid wry smile. My eyes were tired of writhing all over the people who were flashing at this bus stop.

Before long, an orange mini bus approached me. It feels very heavy to step foot from this bus stop. But I don't have any more time, because the pink clock that runs in my hand shows at 07:15. That means that in 15 minutes the morning lecture will begin.

I sat in front of the bus. I looked at the window next to me blankly. But.how surprised I was, it turned out that the man I had been waiting for since, had just arrived at the Stop.

I want to get off the mini bus again. But this bus is already a long way from that stop. I'm lyrically my watch is back. I could only take a deep breath and calm my heart.

A week has passed. I never saw that man again. I'm very disappointed. I set foot to the regular bus stop. My feet are so tired to walk. I could only smile wryly at everyone I passed along the way.

The hope of meeting that man has also been deeply harbored. Today the streets look pretty good. Maybe because it's a holiday. I sat on a chair that extended around this stop. My eyes were focused on that orange Mini Bus. No matter the people flashing around here.

I covered my face with both hands with my chin. I slowly opened my eyes. My heart was beating 10x faster than usual, because I saw the man I was waiting for sitting next to me. I took a deep breath.

“I will not waste this opportunity. He was in front of me. I have to get acquainted with him” muttered me while gathering again the once burning spirit.

“Hai.” Saying to him.

He immediately smiled in shock. He was staring at me. “Hai also” reply.

“Include, I'm Viona. Emm, who are you?” I said nervously as I thrust my hand at her.

He took my hand and said “I'm Alif”

I tried to smile as sweetly as I could. After a long time of talking to him, we finally exchanged phone numbers. I am so happy, this time.

After finishing college, my phone suddenly rang. Signs that a message is coming in.

From : Alif

To : Viona

Message :

Vi, what are you?

Can you meet me at the park near the crossroads?

I immediately rushed out of the house. I walked towards the place that Alif told me to. My smile continued to expand, even though my body was a little exhausted.

I saw Alif on the street. He ordered a drink on the side of the road. I speed up my footsteps. I want to meet him, because it has been 4 days I did not see him at the Stop.

My eyes squirmed when I saw a xenia car traveling at high speed. I headed straight for the crowd. I really can't believe it. It turns out that Alif and a merchant were the victims of a savage motorist. Alif's whole body was covered in blood. Without feeling my tears have flowed.

An ambulance has now come to transport Alif and the drink seller. I'm coming with that car. I cleaned Alif's bloodied face with tissue. My tears have not dried up.

“Alif. Wakeup” I always say that during the trip to the hospital while I shake his body. Alif was not aware.

The sun has sunk in the western horizon. Slowly the darkness of the night began to spread throughout the sky. The stars began to shine with the moon. Even the night wind had pierced my skin. But I haven't left here. I will wait until the doctor comes out of Alif's room and says that Alif will be fine.

After about 20 minutes of waiting. Finally the doctor came out of Alif's room with a tired face. I also directly memorized it.

“Dok, how is my friend? Is He okay?” lirih.

“I've tried to do my best for your friend. But the injury in his brain was quite severe. Looks like he won't last long, unless a miracle comes to him.” replied the doctor.

“Can I get into the dock?” say it again

“Ya, sure. I found this in his pocket” said the doctor, handing him a scrap of paper and Alif's phone.

With heavy steps. I went into Alif's room. I sat down next to Alif's bed and I opened the paper. This is indeed just a graffiti belonging to Alif. But I found my name ‘Viona’ plastered at the top. I'm trying to understand Alif's not-so-clear writing. Slowly I read those words.

Vionas.

I don't know if it came out of nowhere.

I really want to reveal it to you.

My days have become more colorful as long as I have known you.

You have taught me so much about the meaning of holy love.

And you've made me realize that you've been the woman I've been looking for all this time.

I love you Viona.

I just wish you had the same feeling as me.

You are a perfect woman to me.

It's so different from me. I am just a man who is short of.

But I will try to give you the perfect love.

By: Alif

My tears are getting unstoppable. I held Alif's hand tightly and said “I love you too Alif.”

I saw Alif's heart stop beating. I hugged him right away. As if I didn't believe all this. My heart is broken.

“Why do you have to go Alif? we are going to have a relationship that I have been waiting for.

Aliph. You're a perfect man. Why do you have to leave so soon?”

On a mound of dirt still wet and filled with flowers, I sat down.

“May you calm down there Alif. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you further. Maybe God has set the best course for you and for me. I don't know. All I know, I love you so much.”
