Rainy Couple's

Trapped by the Past

👣👣👣👣👣

The guy grinned. Almost chuckled. Then both of his cheeks were inflated and both eyes were squashed. "When what are you like? Do you remember yet?" 

He remembers now. This guy Matias. Class sister at once first love and her first boyfriend. He was in tenth grade; matias was in eighth grade. Matias himself a transfer student. When Kezia was still Junior High, the boy had not yet arrived at Tarakanita Middle School. Physically, Matias was quite handsome and dashing' although the guy was still shorter than him. It is completely invisible that the guy is still Junior High. It is fitting that many female students in High School who become crazy about Matias. Kezia himself was not interested. The reason: when High School girls like the same Junior High? Prestigious dong. That's Kezia-who always cares about her prestige. 

But eventually, Kezia falls into Matias's humorous embrace and what it is. He was impressed with Matias. That guy's a real adult. Not just physically, but characteristically. Matthias is not like most Junior High school boys who think they are tacky. His language is alay. When many Junior High students brought motorcycles to school, Matias confidently pedaled a bicycle. The man's body also rarely carries perfume that smells make him want to vomit. Her hair rarely looks slippery with hair oil. If many middle school students are pretentious to behave mature or at least like high school students (Even those who have dared to smoke cigarettes), Matias remains brave with his otaku identity. He is not afraid of being scorned as a child, because he still likes to read Detective Conan, Hi Miko, Crayon Shinchan, and several other Japanese comics. In Kezia's eyes, Matias was a man of character. 

When Matias shot him in Ivory Media, the mini-bookstore across from Tarakanita, Kezia automatically said: "Yes, I want to" He closed his eyes to the age of Matthias who was four years younger than him. After six months of dating, the guy was indeed an amazing adult. Although the days of the man who used to be a little stocky was always lonely (Dad-Mother Matias lived in Japan, because of work), Matthias was always firm and smiling. He was an only child, but never lonely. For him, the comics and Playstation games are enough to accompany his days that only accompanied the helpers who are old. "It's still good, when my opung was alive. I still have 'friends'." Matias said briefly, as he asked if the guy felt lonely in a pretty stately house. 

His relationship with Matias was brief. As he moved up to third grade, Matias automatically graduated from Junior High.  The man decided to move to Japan, which followed his parents. Matthias began to be careless with all these heartbreaking days. His parents also agreed to attend school in Japan. So that servants who have worked long enough can be retired. The Matias family could be whole again.

"Seriously you, Yas?" Nabilah was quite woeful. "Lu moved from Mandala Junior High to Tarakanita Middle School because I moved to Japan."

"Yes, how come, no you, no rame, Nab," Matias chuckled. "Some of the time my parents didn't care about me. They played a part in my decision to change schools. I told you, I'm tired of going to school all the way. I want a school near my house."

"Gokil you ah!" reply Nabilah laughed. "Be-te-we, sori yes, Yas, if I've given you uncertainty. You were confused what our relationship was."

"Give me, the past and the past. Some of the ones behind me, I completely forgot. Anyway, for me, you're still my best gaming buddy. No you, no rame, Nab."

Matthias laughed, and Nabilah laughed. Both sat. From eye to eye, day to heart. Whether this is called what, when Matias sucked his Espresso (Matias ordered another drink), Nabilah also drank his milkshake. Matthias became clumsy, laughing again. Nabilah laughed too. Then some visitors noticed. Perhaps in their eyes, Matthias and Nabilah were lovers.

"Why do you follow me? Salting me, Nab!" yang Matias chuckles.

"Why did you look at me for so long? Remember the same Kezia. I don't want to be the third person." said Nabilah.

Then, silence. The two looked at each other. Nabilah slowly bowed. Matias swallowed saliva. Both Matthias and Nabilah were pale. Sontak Rainbow Caffee performed the song "Pura-Pura Lupa" by Mahen.

"Chocolate is from you, right?" ask Nabilah.

"Which chocolate?" tanya Matias scrunched his forehead. "What did I ever give you chocolate? But if it's about Hello Kitty dolls, I can't really eat them. The gift doll from you is also still I keep."

Nabilah. In the eyes of the woman, Matthias was indeed a volatile and wishy-washy man. I just want to take Matias.

"Nab," Matias sighed.

"What?"

"Why didn't you ever tell me about your planned departure to Japan?"

"Sori, Yas."

Matthias laughs.

"And, are you really following me to Japan?"

"Unfortunately I didn't meet you. I realize Japan is not narrow."

The two laughed again, then went silent and sat down.

"He must be sorry if he knows your motive to Japan is not to overtake your parents, but to realize my existence in Japan. I am in northern Japan. While from your story, you are more frequent in Tokyo and its surroundings. And, if I play to Tokyo, Tokyo is also spacious. Rame as well, let alone Shinjuku, Shibuya, or Akihabara."

Hearing the word 'Akihabara', the two laughed. Nabilah knew what kind of man Matias was. Men who like to play games and read comics like Matias must be very fond of the atmosphere of Akihabara district.

"Gue guess, you must be a hobby of playing to Akihabara, huh?" keka Nabilah knows.

The cry that Matthias gave to Nabilah.

"Yes, are you no longer lying to yourself? You sure you love Kezia? That I..." Nabilah turned the eyeball. This woman is shy to admit. "...for me, you're a different male friend than I've ever known."

Matias swallowed saliva. "I mean you?"

"Gue's still single, really." Nabilah pretended to blink one eye. Ah, how naughty this Nabilah.

Matias swallowed his saliva once more. Heart's pounding. What is this feeling? Matias had never felt anything like this before. Suddenly his heart split in two. Half-hearted to Kezia, half to Nabilah. Matthias was confused as to which one he should choose. Matthias doubted it again.

...Has Kezia really been the one Matthias has been looking for all this time?
