ONE SUMMER NIGHT'S

Secretly thinking of you

A month has passed.

A sports bike was parked in the school parking lot, and the owner was seen descending from there, complete with a school uniform behind a hoodie. Remove the helmet and replace it with a hat to cover the head and half of his face. Walk casually among other students with candy stalks in his mouth instead of cigarettes.

"Good morning, Ruel. Should we sit together in the first hour?" greet one of the students, step up to watch Ruel's steps.

"Should it?"

"Not a bad idea, is it?"

"Sounds fun, but baby." Ruel drew his face closer to the girl who was still standing waiting. "I don't really like maths teachers that much" he whispered.

"Ah, why does that sound like a rejection. No one has ever rejected me before. Are you gonna ditch again?"

"No. I'll just rest a little while."

"You can rest in class, right?"

"Good idea," replied Ruel continued his steps. 

However, it was not seen entering the classroom like some of the other students who seemed to be in his class, but continued to walk up the stairs ignoring the call of the girl, passing through the second floor of the school towards the upper floor, he said, precisely on the roof of the school there is a row of benches that have been neatly arranged.

"Great weather."

Ruel laid his body on the bench, with both arms that he made a pillow after using a black eyeglass to dispel the glare of the morning sun. Enjoy the cool breeze and warm morning sun, accompanied by a headpone that always sticks to his ears, rejecting other sounds that are so noisy that it fills his mind, and prefer to hear a favorite music that immediately brought him in a beautiful dream.

And again the dream occupant Ruel again present. Beautiful face with beautiful eyes that lately always adorn his dreams. Someone who was none other than Sea, the girl he accidentally hit that night, and even though a month had passed. However, even a little Ruel still could not forget that moment, especially Sea. 

Even out of curiosity, Ruel always spent his free time looking for the existence of Sea, although until now he still did not get information about the existence of Sea. And one of the silly things he often did was to stand in front of the street right where he hit the Sea that night, and spend hours waiting, to reduce his wild racing activities and chasing with the police because they continue to wait for the presence of Sea.

Who are you, and where are you really? Why can't I find you anywhere.

"Attempted again?" ask someone who even without seeing who, Ruel can guess the owner of the voice that now dispels the morning sunlight that has greeted his face since.

"I didn't like the first hour of the lesson. You know that."

"Fuckin' shit! Can you come in just once? You don't have to think a lot and force your brain to work, just sleep in your seat quietly."

"Stop trolling me, Jeane. I was sleepy and wanted to sleep. Go."

"Look at this son of a bitch. Aren't you gonna wake up?"

"No."

"You sure?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Jeane took the headpone that had been stuck in Ruel's ear.

"Stop bothering me. I commemorate you," threatened Ruel who is still closed even more comfortable sleeping position.

"Now you won't wake up?"

"Go."

"Well," Jeane replied, taking her phone out of her uniform pocket and being seen contacting someone a few seconds later.

"Sir Eden?"

"Hey shit!" as Ruel departs from his sleep with a big smile that Jeane welcomed. "What are you doing?"

"Of course contact Sis Eden."

"You crazy?"

"I'm just trying to make you sane."

"Oh, shit. This girl ... Are you tired of living?"

"You made it?" gray asked who was already standing there with both hands in the pocket of his uniform. Seemed satisfied to see Ruel who finally woke up from his sleep after getting a ridiculous threat from Jeane.

"Of course, you don't see? Ruel looks excited to be in class this morning."

"Ah, you guys are really driving me crazy. Should I eliminate you?" ruel was upset, seeing the behavior of the two who really disturbed his morning.

"Just sleep in class and stop swearing, damn it!" reply Jeane patted the back of Ruel's head. It was silent even when Jeane pulled her hand and took her to walk away from the place.

"You look exhausted, Ruel. Didn't you sleep last night?" gray asked in their footsteps.

"Not the slightest bit, Brother Eden kept nagging me all night and made my head almost explode. And you, stop threatening me by constantly contacting Sis Eden."

"Sorry, but I have no choice but to make you a submissive. After all, frequently contacting Brother Eden is important, besides he can control you I can also get closer to him, maybe Brother Eden can consider me to be his lover."

"Stop making me sick, Jeane."

"Hey?! My face is not ugly, almost all the students in this school like to even idolize me, what's your problem?"

"Son Eden doesn't like snot girls like you."

"G-gigg-gig? You kidding? I'm an adult, you don't see it?"

Jeane stood in front of Ruel and Gray, showing off her tall body as she could, shaking her long black hair to the sweet aroma of shampoo, also blinking her eyes with beautiful brownish pupils, also a smile that does look very sweet and charming. And some important points, in addition to having a beautiful face, Jeane also has an intelligent brain and comes from a family of being, in contrast to Ruel and Gray.

"You look perfect" Gray said.

"look, right? Even Gray admitted it."

"Aren't you aware that Gray was just comforting you?"

"Ah, you're really fucking, I'll kill you ...."

"Wake me up if the lesson ends" replied Ruel who was back in his headpone, covering his head with his hoodie hood.

"Sleep quietly."

Jeane pulled both hoodies of Ruel tightly and made her face perfectly covered, neither replying nor protesting. Ruel even directly leaned his head over the two arms that he folded on the table and started sleeping.

In a different place, in a music studio.

"Hi, Sea? Oh my God, where have you been?" greeting someone welcomed Sea's arrival at his studio, even directly hugging the girl's body tightly, clearly seeming to miss him very much.

"I am so sorry, lately I feel bad, I need a break at home."

"You sick?"

"No, Anna. I'm just a little tired."

"I'm worried about you, I think you're back in the hospital."

"No, I'm fine, Anna. Sorry, it's worried you."

"Oh, thank goodness. I'm glad you're back. Do you know, if the kids are waiting for you, they look sad for a couple of weeks."

"I'm really sorry, I promise to fill all the schedules to teach them."

"The kids must be so happy to hear that. But, Sea."

"Yes. What's up?"

"Emm, since the kids are on holiday within this week, and I'm the one who has to finish my percentage on campus, can I ask for your help?"

"Help?"

"Hm."

"Of course, Anna. Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Anna grabbed Sea's hand to sit on the chair with him.

"Did you mind taking my place teaching piano in one place?"

"Teaching?"

"Yes. Just a month, you don't have to come in every day either. Because the schedule is only three times a week, how?"

Sea seemed silent to think, he felt it was a pretty good offer for him, besides he could see a new atmosphere, he would also not be sad during the summer at home. And it's not just the house, the hospital, and the studio that he's going to see for a month.

"Agreed."

"You're serious?"

"Hmm, that's an interesting offer. I like it."

"But what about your condition? Are you gonna be okay?"

"Hmm, you don't have to worry. There's only three hours in three days, right?"

"Yes. Three hours," Anna nodded grasped Sea's palm which even looked excited.

"By the way, there's something I want to ask you," Sea replied looking serious.

"Sounds serious."

"Not really, I'm just a little curious. Lately my heart's been pounding a lot despite doing nothing, which is weird."

"meaning?"

"What, the heart can be pounding even if it only remembers someone?"

"Someone?"

"Hm."

"Man?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Who?"

"So, I don't know him. I only met him once, but .. When I remembered that moment, my heart suddenly thumped quite fast. I don't know what's wrong with me."

Anna smiled, looking at Sea with her innocent face.

"What's wrong? Does that sound funny?"

"No, Sea. I think you're interested in that person."

"I can't be, I'm even still pissed at her because ...."

Sea's sentence was stuck in his throat, reluctant to tell Anna the incident that night. Besides not wanting anyone else to find out, he also did not want Anna to worry about him.

"I think that's a natural thing, Sea."

"What?"

"Have you ever heard of falling in love at first sight?"
