My Mysterious Senior

PHOTO MEMORIES

" tok tok ".

" well, who's that-, sherla?".

" ha, hi Aida, can I ask you something for help?".

it's been such a shitty night, why did mom and dad always leave so suddenly without telling me at all. Living alone in that house made my sleep so unwell, you know I'm a coward.

****

" ooh, so sherla's afraid to stay home alone?". asked Aida's mother without feeling the slightest sin.

" i, iyah, you could say it like that ". I'm not forced to lower my self-esteem, it's okay, it's for my own good as well.

" how?, did mom allow me to stay at the sherla house tonight?". asked aida with a face of mercy.

" of course I'll let you, Sherla this is your best friend, but remember, don't stay up well, you have to go straight to sleep, it's late at night" replied Aida's mother gently.

" well Mom ".

good, I already knew that Aida's mother would allow her to stay at my house, even though her words were a little spicy, but she had a gentle demeanor.

****

" well, what are we going to do now?". asked Aida as she looked around my house.

" hmm, of course we will go to sleep ". I said firmly. even though I have not been sleepy since arguing with the senior.

" direct sleep, tomorrow is off, we have to have fun first" said Aida while grumbling.

" your mother told you to go straight to sleep, didn't you?, you can't fight her ".

answer me firmly.

" but I'm still not sleepy" said Aida who grumbled.

god, I can argue with Aida when she acts like a child, how else, I have to obey her wishes, besides I don't want to sleep first.

" all right, but what are we going to do these nights?, wait, if you say we're going to watch a horror movie, I'm going to turn it down" I said firmly. there are three things you can do at night, playing cards, watching horror movies, and playing video games. And one of you must know which one I don't like the most.

" then we just go to sleep" said Aida immediately put on a pouting face.

gosh, it's so hard to guess her nature when she's acting like a child, I think I should be more sensitive and importantly not to get the wrong word.

" all right, how about we play the latest spending video game you gave me back then.

" the latest video game?!, you seriously want to play it with me?". said Aida with a smile that stuck back on her face.

" i, yes "at least this can make his heart happy again, I hope tonight can go well.

" you go first well to my room, I'll take a quick snack" I said as I left Aida.

all these things that make my head dizzy make me hungry, but I have to take a little snack here, mom will definitely scold me if she finds out I ate all her snacks.

" sorry well aida, you must have waited a very long time" when I arrived at the room, I saw aida who seemed to be looking at something.

" aida?, what are you doing?". I asked as I slowly approached aida.

" who is this woman?. asked Aida while showing me the photo.

" merlina, she looks a lot like you well ".

I said with a smile.

" no, similar to her mana, she's much prettier than me ".

" hey sherla, can you tell me about her?". asked Aida with a serious look.

gosh, my head was still dizzy even told to tell a story, but from Aida's gaze, I could see all the curiosity in his eyes.

" aida, what do you feel when you look at her face?". I asked with a serious look.

" i don't know why, I feel like I'm looking at myself" Aida replied as she lowered her head.

" he was you in my past, he was the only person so close to me. We always went to the cafeteria together, went home together, even played together. he never left me alone, when I was in trouble, he would smile at me and take me to pleasant places, we were together everywhere we went, merlina, he said, he's a friend of my past, who I may not be able to find back ".

" you're right, just his smile really lets me know that he's a good person ".

" hahhh, you know sherla, before I knew you, I always thought that friends were where we shared each other's strengths, and it makes me prefer to be alone because I have no advantages at all. But, when I started to know you, my way of thinking had started to change, we had already gone through a lot of problems, he said, and it makes me think that friends, is where we can fill each other's shortcomings, protect each other, and give love and affection.you taught me all those things Sherla ".

aida, you changed her mindset so quickly, if you knew that Merlina was gone because of my mistake, would you still want to be friends with me?.

" hey sherla, do you think I can be like her?". asked Aida while lying down.

" of course, you're better than him ".

I answered with a thin smile.

" you know, I can't make other people smile, and I'm always hiding from others, which is why people don't want to be friends with me ".

" hm, I'm also like that aida, sometimes being alone is going to make your life quiet, but it turns out it's just bullshit, that calmness took me too far away to a place so silent ".

" aida, the first time I met you, you surprised me because I thought you were a merlina, but on the other hand, I was really happy to see your face even though you weren't a merlina, seeing you made me think of her ".

" what makes you think of him?, what makes me the same as him? ".

aida asked, closing her eyes.

" you can't be like him, you don't have the same nature as him, you have the same favorite food as him, but, your feelings of wanting to make other people smile, you have the same taste, that's what makes you the same as Aida ".

" ida?".

" zwzn ".

god, it seems like I talked too long like it made him fall asleep, even though he invited me to play video games, but he fell asleep.

hhh, look at him when he is asleep, he is very similar to you well.

" oohina ".
