Meeting Because of Grief

Comfort is feared

Seeing the terrified Julian made Keysha realize that his actions were very wrong. He shouldn't have surprised Julian like that. He forgot that Julian was still traumatized by what he had experienced before.

" Hey. It's me Keysha.. Julian calm down. It's me Keysha. "

Many times Keysha called Julian to wake up from his fear until Julian finally began to respond to Keysha's words.

" Have you gone home? "

Keysha nodded his head and helped Julian to stand up again. Keysha asked nothing. He only helped Julian stand up and after that he opened the door of his apartment. And invite Julian to come inside.

Inside, neither Julian nor Keysha spoke. Keysha simply led Julian to sit on the living room sofa and he went to the kitchen to fetch some water.

" This is a drink first. "

Julian took the water and drank it. Keysha sat down next to Julian and wanted to ask Julian. But Julian told Keysha everything first.

" I was worried about your situation. So I thought I'd look for you out. But when I got out, I didn't know where to look for you. So I decided to go in again. But fatefully I do not know the password of the door of this place.Then from that I was alone out there. "

Keysha smiled cutely at Julian's explanation. So he was locked outside because he didn't know how to get into his house. It wasn't that Julian was making trouble inside the apartment and was deliberately waiting for Keysha outside to say that.

" I was very busy. Sorry for not reporting. I'm used to being alone. So I never thought anyone would wait for me to come back to this place. "

Julian nodded his head. But when he wanted to talk again, his stomach suddenly rang loudly. Julian hasn't eaten since lunch. He was afraid to order food because he had no money to pay for it.

" You haven't eaten yet? Why not just order? "

" I don't have any money. How can order food.? "

Keysha let out a tired breath. He forgot to tell Julian that all the orders would go into Keysha's bill later.

" So from noon you haven't eaten? "

Julian did not answer. He's ashamed to trouble Keysha again. But Julian's silence has Keysha understanding what happened.

" I'll order food first."

Keysha orders food that can be cooked quickly. He will also eat with Julian later. Because he hasn't eaten since morning. It's been a bad habit for Keysha all along. He slept less and ate irregularly as well. That left him with severe Magh disease many times. But he was never caught to repeat his mistake. Being busy and overly focused on work, he ignores his health.

" Hear Julian.Every time you order food in this place, you don't have to pay anything. All the bills will go to me. No one will ask you for money. So you can relax to order the food. Don't repeat this again tomorrow. I don't want to hear you don't eat and end up not taking your medicine anymore. "

" I'm going to take a shower after that we'll eat together"

Saying I want to take a shower comes Keysha remembers something. He hasn't bought Julian any clothes for him today. Today is a tough day for Keysha. He couldn't even calm down from morning.

" Haaahhh I forgot to find you clothes. Wait for me to come out and buy a change of clothes for you"

Keysha wants to leave again but is held back by Julian. He doesn't want Keysha to go out tonight just to buy himself clothes.

" No need. I'll wash these clothes later. Tomorrow it will be dry. So I can wear this again tomorrow. "

" What are you wearing tonight? "

" I saw there was a bathrobe in the toilet so I could use it to sleep later. You don't go out at night. This place is dangerous."

Again the warm feeling approached Keysha but as much as possible ignored by him again. Keysha nodded his head and looked at his watch.

" Okay, I'll take a shower first. After that we eat together when the food has come. Later if there is a bell ringing it must be the food. So please take okay"

Julian nodded his head. He let Keysha into his room and he was still sitting on the sofa waiting for food to come.

" What should I do now. I feel like Julian made the other side of me reappear. He made me realize that I've been lonely all this time living alone. Even for eating and sleeping I cannot manage it. This place I never considered home. But a halfway place. Because I'm outside more often. But when today he was in this place, the atmosphere became different. "

Keysha was very afraid of the current situation. He was afraid of getting used to Julian. And when Julian leaves, he'll be quiet again. That will make it difficult for Keysha again in the future. Because he has to adapt again to the present situation.

Keysha took a shower and after that he went out of the room to see what food he ordered had arrived or not.It turns out it has arrived and Julian is currently arranging all the food at the dining table near the kitchen.

Keysha confronts Julian there is no keeping of any attitude. Because Keysha had no thought of physical attraction to Julian. So no Keysha tries to behave as sweetly as to tease the opposite sex. Keysha helped Julian out of sheer pity.

" The food has arrived. Come on let's eat. I want to continue working again. "

" You're always this busy. Aren't you tired?"

" We eat first. It's a way to appreciate the food. You cannot talk while eating. In addition to being a form of courtesy. So we'll talk later. Now let's eat and eat it all. "

Keysha is used to it. Eating should not be noisy and all chatter will start when you have finished eating. All that behavior was applied Keysha when with Julian. He did not want Julian to fuss at the dinner table while eating with himself again.

Julian no longer spoke of anything after getting rebuked by Keysha. But he remained curious about the life Keysha lived all this time. Until then he plans to ask Keysha everything.
