Meeting Because of Grief

Sweet Girl Search

After dinner, Keysha wants to give Julian a minute whatever he wants to do with Keysha. He realized he was holding Julian to ask. So right now he wants to continue that conversation with Julian.

" Feeding is over, what did you want to ask? "

Julian looked at Keysha. He always felt that Keysha was too serious in his daily life.

" You always say keep busy. What are the activities you do? "

" Lecture and some side jobs. If there's any problem tomorrow, you can use the house phone to call me. I'll take my number down there"

Julian knows that Keysha is uncomfortable with him questioning Keysha about his personal life. So he chose to be quiet at this moment. Maybe he'll wait for the right time to know Keysha's personal life.

" Make Key.. Can I call you that, right? I feel calling you by the name of Keysha is too long. "

" Just exercise."

" Hemm I'm really listening to you Key, you've helped me a lot over the years. Starting from saving me from that person, taking me to the hospital and taking care of me there, and even now you let me stay with you in this place. "

Julian's sincere gaze made Keysha feel grateful to have helped this young man before her. He still feels needed and useful to others. Because all this time in never heard anyone who can sincerely say listened to him because it has been helped.

But this time he heard from a foreign young man whom he helped and knew recently. The young man who makes him grumble and sometimes complains because he feels bothered. But the young man also made her feel alive again. Feeling that the place he lived in could be called home. He feels that he is alive and still in need.

Because ever since Keysha lived in this country, no one has ever asked him. Even his mother contacted him just to make a complaint and ask for money. From there he felt his life was starting to be meaningless again.

Never once in a conversation did he with his family ask him if he had eaten or not, healthy or not, how is school, how is it, or things that are usually worth asking a child who wanders alone in a foreign country without any supplies.

But what Keysha always hears are complaints of lack of money, household problems, deteriorating health or neighborly gossip about his family. Keysha was so tired of all that stuff all along. So he was determined to make a lot of money to guarantee his future later and not to trouble anyone anymore.

" key... Oi... Keysha's. "

Keysha woke up from his daydream after getting a pat on his shoulder from Julian. But after realizing he was confused what to say to Julian.

" You okay what Key? Looks like you're lacking rest. Go to sleep now, let me clear things up. "

" Hey? "

" listened. "

Keysha immediately left after saying the word, Julian thought the listened remark was addressed by Keysha because he would clean up the two of them. But actually Keysha's intention is to be listened to because it has come when Keysha already does not know how to live properly anymore. So Julian's presence as a form of loneliness treatment that he's been feeling all along.

When Keysha arrived in her room, she leaned against the door, crying. There was a sense of tightness in his chest as he recalled all the bitter occurrences he had felt all along. All the pain he had felt all this time, he overflowed through crying.

Keysha's cry he held back from being heard by Julian. He did not want others to see his fragile self. He still wanted to look fresh and strong. All the troubles he had to keep deep in his heart. No one knows that he is currently injured.

" I have to be strong. Don't be complacent with the situation. He's only been stopping for a while. I can't get used to being in this place. I need to get back to being my strong self so no one knows I'm hurt. "

Since the existence of Julian, I don't know how many times Keysha reminded himself not to get used to the presence of Julian. But, the more he dodged and kept those boundaries, the closer they got and the more Keysha realized he needed someone else to be around him. Become a light talker and friend to listen to his complaints.

Not a friend who will only talk to you about work or assignments. Keysha wants a friend who is really a friend. And that's what he saw in Julian. But he dared not expect Julian to remain with him in this country. Because Julian would want to go back to his country again.

After quite a while, Keysha took her breath and continued working on the project she agreed with her lecturer. The proposal is for him to build his skeleton and will be shown tomorrow to Mr. Karl.

" All the important points said by the old man I have put into this framework. But he has not said what the proposal is for the company. It's very troublesome for this old man. Fortunately, the money promised was quite large. And the complete facilities he provided. If he's stingy, I guarantee I won't cooperate with him anymore."

Keysha knows that currently he is paid with such money will be meaningless if the project can be obtained by this lecturer. Because the project is worth a million dollars for the contract. But Keysha could not do anything because he did not have a certificate that could be proof that he could work on the project he intended at this time.

In Julian's room, he had already washed his clothes and was already wearing a bathrobe on his body. But he forgot that he had to hang his clothes outside at this moment. So he was forced to go out of the room using only such clothes.

Julian peeked out whether Keysha was out of the room or not. But it didn't. So she felt safe going out to hang her clothes.

" I hope you're dry tomorrow. I don't want Keysha spending a lot of money on me anymore. Enough of it I'm burdening Keysha. I'll ask you about the work I can do for now. At least I want to help Keysha in anything"

Julian had no thoughts of returning to his country. He was instead thinking about how to help Keysha at this moment. While the mistress William has ordered his men to petrify looking for a sweet girl who has helped in the past. He wants to know where the girl lives and all her information. But what mistress William heard was that his men could not see the information from the girl. Even in the cctv the girl's face was not clearly visible.

" Who are you son? why is it so hard to see you again? "
