Paper Layangan

Four Eyes Talk

This time Al and Aldo are on the school rooftop. Aldo deliberately took Al alone with him without Andra and Irfan, because he wanted to speak from the heart of heart.

Aldo stood with his back to Al and faced the school grounds. Both of his hands he put in his pants pocket.

The wind blows with a breeze, because the sky this time looks cloudy, although there are no signs of the sky will rain.

"Al, if you knew who Eyebrows really were, what would you do?" aldo asked still with his starting position. He tried to calm down and tried not to hurt his best friend.

Al looked at Aldo's back and walked towards him, standing right next to Aldo. He also looked forward, just like Aldo. "I will continue to accept it, even though his present life is full of falsehoods. Because I'm sure he has a reason behind it all."

"Are you really that sure, even if it's the thing you hate the most, which is a lie?" looking back at Al.

Al also stared at Aldo, he was silent for a moment and seemed to think for a moment. Al glanced back at Aldo, his movements were still the same and could not be read. Al narrowed his eyes to look at Aldo who does not usually talk about an Eyebrow, but he drove his curiosity to Aldo. He nodded with doubt.

"What do you know about Eyebrows?" al asked, looking back to the front.

"I'm just asking you, I just want to know about your beliefs" Aldo said bitterly. He knew that his best friend loved Eyebrows and Eyebrows were his first love.

"Then what about your match?" ask Al without any expression at all. He kept staring straight ahead.

Aldo sighed and he smiled faintly. Al looked at the smile, he knew what it meant which meant that Aldo was fine about it all.

"Then, what about you?" ask Aldo back.

"I don't know about it, and so on I hope that it's just my parents' wish that will be unaccounted for" Al said.

"Yes, I understand all that. You must have felt as heavy as I was at the beginning. But, once I get to know him, is it possible that our friendship remains intact Al?" aldo asked softly while looking deeply at Al.

Al looked back at Aldo, he locked his eyes to interpret the meaning of Aldo but he could not read the view. He only sees the image of sadness and fear of loss.

"I hope our friendship stays like this" Aldo said again, 0he looked back to the front. Al nodded his head and also looked towards the front. Al looked confused with Aldo this time who preferred to speak at length but remained wise.

"Al, I ask ma'af, if in the future we will compete to make the same people happy." Aldo danced for a moment, he paused and stared at Al. "I don't mean to take it from you, but it's Al's destiny, the fate that's been set for me and for you. And there is a promise I must keep. I hope you can understand my situation." Aldo patted Al on the shoulder and passed from the face of Al who appeared to be sculpting.

What does Aldo mean, is it possible...? Al turned and looked at Aldo. He wanted to call him, but too late, Aldo had already disappeared behind the rooftop door. Al did not hear the whole last conversation Aldo had, because his mind was wandering mengngenai matchmaking about him that would surely happen just to wait for time. Al felt guilty because he did not pay attention to Aldo when he spoke earlier. Maybe he was desperate, so say the word ma'af to him. He thought hard to interpret all the words of Aldo but instead deadlocked, there is no bright spot in the slightest.

"Alis, are you okay?" asked Al who sounded worried. "Sorry, I didn't mean it" Al said as he picked up the book of fallen Eyebrows.

"I'm fine." replied Alis while receiving the book handed by Al.

Al looked around him, he did not see Aldo. Al looked at Alis and pulled her hand and led her towards the back garden of the school. A place they often spent together just by sitting without talking. Now her feelings were a little unsettled and she hoped that after being with Eyebrow, her feelings of hump disappeared.

From a distance Aldo watched all that. Now he feels guilty, but he is also helpless because of the promise he has made to his parents and also to Syaiba's parents, yesterday afternoon when they accidentally met at the office of his father Aldo.

He regretted that if he met Arya early and confirmed all that, then of course he would reject all that including the promise to his father Alisya, Bastian. He did not expect that Syaiba was the Eyebrow, as well as Alisya who was also the Eyebrow he knew. He was completely helpless, everything had happened. He didn't know what to do with Al, he felt really guilty.

Aldo continued to watch Alis and Al from a distance. He deliberately avoided Al because he knew that Al would ask about everything he said. But he is still not convinced that what Bastian meant by Alisya is the Eyebrow that is with Al now before he sees and meets his person.

Aldo would try to keep his heart if it was true that his betrothed was the nerdy girl's Eyebrow.

Meanwhile in the corner of the park, precisely under the catapult tree, Alis looked confused looking at Al who was also staring at him with a face that was still filled with worry. Eyebrows who had intended to go to the front of the school to eat the provisions back urung because of the collision. He put his lunch box with the book he brought beside his seat, more precisely between the two of them.

"What did you pull me here? Don't tell me you want to ask me about love again like this morning."

Al smiled sweetly looking at the direction of Eyebrows. There was a hint of fear drawn from the look on that face. "More important than that, it concerns my future, my life and my death."

His eyebrows just nodded even though he did not understand the words of Al just now. He was still staring at Al's smile, a smile he usually avoids, but different this time. He felt Al's smile was opium to him.

"Lis, I just miss the taste of your cooking" Al said as he glanced at the provisions lying beside him. No, it's not that sentence he wants to say, but another sentence, which represents his feelings. But he seemed to say it, let another time.

"Oh, eat. I thought there was another emergency thing." while opening the provisions he brought.

Yes Lis, emergency. My heart is in a crisis of confidence and also hit by an outbreak of the love virus.

Al said inwardly as he continued to look towards the dazzling looking Eyebrows in his eyes.
