Rio slowly opened his eyes. What he saw first was the white ceiling of his hospital room. Then the big TV hung on the wall, next to it was a wall clock whose hands showed at three at 3:45.
Just now, he had a dream about his father.
About the last time he looked at his father in good health, the incident was probably a few months ago when Rio was just entering an odd semester.
He seemed to be reminded that there was something important that his father wanted to tell him.
But because Rio and his father were not close, his father often went and went home at will, several times bringing women home made Rio so uncomfortable and more activity outside.
“Rio, for this once and last time, please father.”
“Dad not think if you have children? Indeed we lack ya until father corruption?!”
“Dad is sorry, I always troubled your mother and now troubled you. I think this is already the best.”
“This is precisely the worst, father. You know why I often run away to things that are out of bounds?”
“Travel time is up 5 minutes ago, let's go in Mr. Thunder,”
“Wait! I'm not finished!”
“All also said so, Woy, help pull!”
“Don't!! Rio, rio dad has-“
“Let's get in the cell again,”
“Rio-“
“Later if the court decides that the father is not guilty, can only see the father again, will there still be next week,”
“Rio! Please Adinda! My sister! She just gave birth to her second child! Search him in email!”
“Come Mr. Thunder, ayoooo...duh very difficult anyway!”
And that was the last time they spoke. After that Rio got the news, about three days later, that his father hanged himself in prison.
Rio tried to sit down, but something held his arm.
The guy looked to the side.
Gracefully...
Again, graceful beside him.
Falling asleep while hugging his arm
Rio was looking at Gracefully. Just this time I a clearly and calmly looked at the figure he once considered this mitological creature. So it feels unnoticeable graceful in his life. How can there be anything so beautiful in the world?
Tall, white skin and big chest. Walk with your chin up and stare at everything lightly. Her charming smile was able to lure the person she was aiming to obey.
Graceful is the dream of almost all guys in school.
There's a second, third, fourth popular chick. All the average friends of the Anggun Se-genk. But Anggun always looks striking because of his tall body and waist-long hair.
Rio stroked the thick and perfectly carved graceful eyebrows without the hair child in his pants. It's like it's carved with tools, but this one every strand feels real.
Anggun's nose is not too long, small but sticking up. Funny as a doll.
And his skin was very soft. It felt like Rio could not bear to touch her with his big rough hands. Compact like cotton candy, if touched will be torn apart.
“Rio,” sounds Graceful voice.
Rio was frozen.
Then thinning his lips in shame again caught defending the children of people without the permission of his father.
The round and clear eyes were slightly open.
“In that last moment, when I felt that my life was soon, and the pain was endless coming.
Their pause is accompanied by the sound of the AC machine and the seconds of the clock.
“If indeed I will die in contempt, do not let my father see my disgusting condition. Then.. if I could, I would like to meet a person whom I could only dream of for a long time, to express my feelings to him.”.
The comfortable silence.
“It turns out.. I was given the chance to live once again. Even my two requests were granted. But again the devil took my mind, I was traumatized and blamed Him for everything that happened,”
Rio's not talking, he's just listening to Anggun.
“When they told us that you were hurt again, that's when God made me realize that I had asked the Creator for two things. Even how kind Himself is still giving me the chance to hug you, Graceful” raised her face and looked at Rio gently.
“Maybe that's why, the first thing I'm looking for is you. If this was a dream I wouldn't waste it.”
Slowly, the girl's lips approached.
Then it stuck to Rio's lips.
At the time, it was just sweet. Rio doesn't like something that feels sweet, for him he doesn't fit in with any of it. But the graceful lips make him feel that the sweet thing turns out to be delicious.
Rio slightly opened his lips to be more able to sap the graceful taste. It's really sweet that makes opium. In contrast to the first time they kissed, for Rio it was just the origin of sticking like with other women.
But something was overshadowing his mind...
Don't kotori anymore.
Those words.
Don't get dirty again, he's been in the mud. The moment you're helping him, you're his footing, you're dirtying him worse than mud?
Suddenly there was that thought in his mind.
Jeez..his conscience says!
Rio also pulled his lips. Of course he did it reluctantly. When he felt the lips of Grace was the wisest thing he had ever felt, at that moment he was restrained from eating it.
Gracefully looked at him in confusion. His face was immediately disappointed at that moment.
“Gue...” Rio's throat feels choked.
“Rio?”
Rio thought about what words he would say next, but nothing felt right. He knew he had to talk as soon as possible because a typical Anggun likes to judge things based on his own opinions.
“You... is it right to kiss me just because of empathy? So I can talk to-“
“No, not that. Don't get me wrong,” Rio said quickly.
“Then why now?”
“It...” Rio moved away and slightly pushed Anggun in order not to get too attached to her. Then he took a pillow on his back and placed it on his lap. Then smiled unwell towards Graceful. “Lu understands dong..” murmur slowly while passing face.
Gracefully staring at the pillow pillow on Rio's lap.
A bit long, until Rio was caught off guard and pushed his cheek to the side so that the girl would not take the pillow too seriously.
Then finally the face of Grace turned red.
“Ih, Rio...” but he chuckles.
“Udah back to the sofa, I want to calm down,” Rio flicked his hand expel Graceful.
“Hehe,” Anggun inched down from the bed and walked towards the sofa. Then enveloped himself while still smiling knots towards Rio.
“Rio?”
“What else?” lamented Rio.
“We're dating yes,” it's an order, not a solicitation.
“Later I ask permission first to Mr. Banyu, okay,” Rio still do not want to lose.
“However, I asked,”
“In front you can. In the back, I will be pounded.” grumbled Rio while pulling the blanket up to the top of the head.
