ONE SUMMER NIGHT'S

Let's forget each other

Three months passed after the summer ended before entering autumn. Likewise with the semester holiday that has ended before graduation. Even all the students had started busying themselves with continuing to study to face the final exam in a moment, as well as the place that would be at seven to continue school to college.

And only Ruel seemed to be indifferent to everything. Nothing has changed since the last three months, as he is still trapped in the wounds and has trouble recovering his broken heart, continuing to spend time doing things that endanger his own life, it's getting wild and out of control. Doing the crazy thing by spending time secretly and standing in front of the fence of the Sea mansion at night to see the girl, although until now he had never seen Sea again, can't even contact the girl.

Not only that, Ruel also always spent time standing in front of a music classroom that had been unused since two months ago, after Anna decided not to become a music teacher at that school again, for whatever reason. And today the same, Ruel was again seen standing in the doorway of an empty music room with a seventh look toward a piano. On his usual day, he always saw Sea play the piano there, smiling at him. But now he doesn't see that anymore. Jeane said, from the day they last met. Sea never came to school again.

Miss you. What are you doing now?

Ruel stepped in with a slow step, approaching the piano which even looked dusty. Slowly touch it before rubbing it with an increasingly hurt feeling. Even three months had passed but he still could not forget his feelings for Sea in the slightest.

Sea, Sea ... Sea.

Ruel continued to mutter the name 'Sea' in his heart, staring at the piano keys with Sea's shadow returning to his memory. Given how beautiful and graceful Sea was while sitting while playing his piano, given how warm Sea's hand grips were. He really missed the girl, so he didn't know how to stop.

A few minutes passed when the phone shook. It was quite surprising when he saw the name of the caller on his phone screen. Nearly three months later, they never even met. But what's going on now? Sea finally contacted him first.

"How are you?"

Silent.

Ruel did not answer. Even just speechless, firmly holding the phone still stuck to his ear. His heart throbbed pain when he heard the voice over there. A voice that he had long missed. However, I don't know why the sound was slowly making her even more in pain.

"Is ... are you okay?"

Ruel took a deep and powerful breath. How could he go through the day with a good state of being his heart is now broken with tremendous pain, even he continues to spend time to miss Sea.

"Ruel ...."

"I miss you."

Silent. There was no reply from Sea, although he could hear Ruel's confession very clearly. The sound that sounded vibrated clearly held back tears.

"I miss you, I miss you so much."

"I know."

"Then ... What should I do now?"

Again there was no answer from the Sea who fell silent again, until a few seconds passed.

"Sorry."

"I beg you, that's not the word I want to hear."

Ruel's voice was getting louder. Somehow he became very crybaby when it came to Sea.

"Did .. do you miss me too?"

No response from Sea.

"Do you know what's happened to me since then? How I get through my day by missing you. I feel so much pain, can you feel it?"

"Sorry."

Ruel's tears finally trickled when he heard the sound of Sea sounding vibrating at the end of the call. Feeling increasingly ill from hearing Sea continue to apologize to her, it was as if the girl would go far away and completely abandon her.

"Can you not leave me?"

Silent.

"Can .... you stay by my side?"

There was still no answer from Sea, to make Ruel's tears back to the point of feeling desperate.

"I beg .. I think it's almost crazy to keep thinking about you, even though you're not mine, but I really can't forget you, even though I tried, but I did, I can't even like other people because of you."

Pranks!

The window glass broke in just an interval of seconds, separate the wound on the back of Ruel's hand because it was hit by the shale. He could not even control himself anymore until reflexes hit the window glass before him to vent anger at himself.

"Stop hurting yourself."

"You still worried about me?"

"How can I not worry about you?"

"Then let me see you, even if only once. I was bleeding, my body was covered in wounds, I was in pain, very sick. If you're worried and still care about me, look at me now."

"What have you done? Why are you getting hurt? Didn't you promise not to worry me? You promised me not to let your body hurt again."

Ruel fell silent, with blood continuing to drip from his hands until it filled half the floor exactly where he was standing at this moment.

"Ruel's."

"I just don't know how to forget you. I thought, the pain in my body would disguise the pain in my heart. Turns out I was wrong. I can't even feel pain, no matter how severe the wound on my body is."

"I beg .. Don't be like this."

"Then don't ignore me like this, it's too painful for me."

"Ruel. I'm sorry, really. I'm really sorry for you."

For the umpteenth time Ruel's tears came back, biting his quivering lips while massaging the base of his nose to hold the clear granules that kept dripping.

"Isn't .. you like me even if it's just a little bit?"

"I've always felt that way, even since the first time we met. You can make my heart pound when you think of you, you make my days colorful, do things I've never done before, you always make me smile. How could I not like you. But, the way I'm doing right now is not allowing myself to like anyone, there's nothing I can do."

And for the first time, Sea spoke a lot to Ruel, even to the point of expressing his heart, if all this time he also had the same taste. However, helpless by circumstances that did not allow them to unite, and it made Ruel feel hurt.

"Sir Sea .. I beg ...."

"Can you promise me one thing?"

"No, no, Brother Sea ...."

"Please promise not to get hurt again. And, let's forget each other, so that no one gets hurt between us."

"No, Brother Sea. Don't leave me, Sea sister ... Sis ...."

"Goodbye, Ruel. It's good to know you."

Phone calls disconnected. Separate Ruel with tears that return. His body thundered down on the floor, hugging both knees and buried his head there along with the sound of sobbing that sounded.

Even Ruel continued there, sitting in a corner of the empty space with the same position in the shadow of the Sea and all the short things that had happened between them.

"Other than rain what else do you like?"

"Early summer at night."

"I like it too."

"What will the rainbow look like if the rain subsides?"

"It's possible that we can wait for him together."

Ruel clenched both hands tightly as memories after memories filled his head again.
