MOONLIGHT
Vol. 2 E: 17
Long journey makes my back hurt. “ukh... tired once” lamented while waiting in the airport waiting room. “you don't just complain Ul. This is just the beginning we” said jicob cold.
“until when they get to pick us up..? I want to go to sleep” I complained leaning on Yanuar's shoulder.
“you without permission just feel good backup”
“em.. Let's just say I'll buy you cheese” said I half-conscious
“uhh.. cheese? You just spend it yourself I don't like” said Yanuar heartless.
“excuse”
I saw two men dressed in military clothes greeting the jicob
“you were ruled by the general Yue Guang Lim.?”
“ya. I am John and this is my sister Aabey”
“salam. I'm Jicob, he's Ahn, Yanuar and.”.
“Ul” said I do not want to mention my real name.
“nona, you friend lord general.?”
“ya” my word is short.
“we brought two Jeeps because the general wanted to meet with mr jicob”
“please Yanuar you come with me, Ahn please help you accompany Ul to go to pavilion”
“but,... I also want to..”.
“you're tired, you rest first later and then chat again” said jicob prevents me from finishing words.
“no, I'm better, now can follow.?” I said trying to get excited
“don't you shake the General's heart again, Ul” whispered Jicob to make me speechless. It felt claustrophobic in my heart, as if the chance to meet him before the blessing was just pseudo wishful thinking.
***********
The journey to our Pavilion went through in silence. I just stared at the view
outward.
“mana Tulip Ul.?” ahn said trying to get me to talk
“ini tulip plantation Ahn”
“what is this plantation dead.?”
“ayolah what month...?”
“kan this month ..”
“ya.. it's autumn.where there may be tulips in windy weather” connect me before Ahn finishes his words
“really unfortunate”
“ya... You're out of luck” said I was half asleep.
Nightfall....
My vegetables gave me a look. I saw the box in front of me. I fell asleep in the back room of a room. Behind it was a voice chat from someone familiar to me.
“what's he not up yet.?”
“yet, may be exhausted due to this long journey general”
“what are you guys friends.?”
“ya general”
“good, I'm not worried anymore”
“General... did you dump him.?”
“how is it possible..? with all of you he is happy.”
“how about you.?”
Did I not hear wrong..? he'shere. He's general Yue, eager for me to run out of
this room.wanted me to hug him, ask him how he was doing.
“your hearts do not waver again general” said Jicob pleaded.
“what I've buried for so long. Is there anything left” said the man's voice stepped away.
Krieks...
“you eavesdropped Ul,..?”
“Ahn..? is that him.?”
“I don't know Ul”
“Ahn why short meetings can be this painful.?”
“strengthen yourself Ul” said Ahn clasped my hand, leading me out.
This room is empty, no matter where Jicob and the others go
“Ahn, are you busy.?”
“not as busy as you Ul”
“do you want me to walk around this plantation.?”
“if possible of course I want Ul”
“thank you Ahn” hold Ul's hand on Ahn's hand so tightly.
Srak.srakk...
This empty-looking plantation made my heart feel empty.
“Ul, since when did you know general Yue..? you're a great guy yeah it's”
“I only met him during the welcome”
“aka you fell in love at first sight.?”
“love..? no. gabe. You don't joke Ahn”
“if not love, then what..? you're like losing half your life when you know the truth”
“not like that, general Yue is quite good. How compared to me who has nothing”
“untunglah. You were sad early on, otherwise I'm worried you're more hurt”
“hahahaha... I've had too long heartache, how could there be a second time heartache Ahn”.
“Ul.. you cry”.
“no, I don't know. Every talk of Yue, not General Yue, my tears are out of control.”
“don't stem your feelings Ul.”
“I don't have anything for me to weir”
“Ul. Let's just say I'm a tree you can lay back on when you're tired”
Hiks.....
“why does the world hate me so much Ahn.?”
“what is my sin..? why every one I fight for must go back to the beginning of”
“why I never really understand the people around me”
“aku.I always felt that Yue was that person. The man in every dream. The man who always looked at me was attentive. Yue is that man. A man who always appears in my dreams. Why is reality more frightening than dreams, Ahn.?”
“Ul... he is a great man, who only in dreams do you expect” Ahn whispered.
Hiks..hiks.....
