Red Pen In Blue Sky
Chapter 36: Final Problems Part 4
Rio who noticed Daffa's eyes glancing at Rissa constantly, making her become shocked, himself recalled the previous events that happened in the restaurant.
Although he wanted to ask but he chose silence, and let the flow bring it.
Not only did Rio pay attention to it, everyone noticed it too, except for Rissa herself, while on the other hand Daffa who kept paying attention, eventually became frustrated, which made him subconsciously stand up and push the table a little.
"Breeks!"
Seeing that the others unconsciously stared at Daffa, feeling the gaze of the others, making Daffa pause for a moment, before finally speaking.
"I'm gonna go out to the toilet for a while."
Seeing the figure of Daffa who went down, made the others except Rissa, look at each other and exchange codes through each other's eyes.
They understand that Daffa left because of previous events in the restaurant, they are also curious and want to know the truth is going on, but at that time they can only stay quiet and wait for what will happen.
Daffa walked downstairs, got under Daffa then let out a long sigh, before going out of the library, arriving outside the entrance, Daffa found the usual view of the city.
"What is Rissa really hiding?" Daffa muttered by holding his chin and thinking for a moment.
"Maybe he has a family problem... No, it doesn't look like that."
"Is there any other reason?"
"Rissa... I have a boyfriend other than myself..."
"Haha that's impossible... Or maybe it! Uh! My head's dizzy!"
"Ehm..." Sensing someone's gaze, Daffa turned towards the gaze that was heading towards him, "Eh... A little girl?"
"..."
"..."
Daffa and the little girl looked at each other in silence, feeling uneasy Daffa finally decided to start the conversation.
"Hey dik! Do you need anything?" Ask Daffa by approaching the little girl.
"..." - ".The little girl did not answer Daffa's question, she just kept quiet and looked at Daffa in silence.
"... Err is there something on my face?" Say Daffa by touching his face.
"..."
The little girl still did not reply, which made Daffa even more confused, scratching her head with a questioning look, regarding the reason the little girl did not speak.
"... Kheum alright, it looks like big brother should go, goodbye brother!" Daffa then intended to return to the library, but his pants were pulled by the little girl which made Daffa finally stop, and turned to look at the little girl with a confused look.
"..."
"!!!"
Daffa was stunned because the little girl stopped him from going back inside the library, but the little girl did not speak despite stopping herself from leaving.
"Sik, if you need anything just say it, brother doesn't know what sweet sister wants." Daffa said with a gentle smile, then crouched as tall as the little girl.
"..."
"..." - ".The little girl then opened her bag, which was at her right waist, and took out a book.
"Eh?" Daffa stared blankly, himself so surprised by the change in events so strange.
"I want to return this book of Medicine!" Said the little girl in such a cute voice, which sounded like such sweet cotton sugar.
"!!!"
Daffa was so astonished, and he was speechless, his heart seemed to be pierced by such a sweet sugar candy.
"No, but if you want to return it you have to do that to the library guard inside, brother is not the library guard, so you can't return this book to brother, you understand?" Daffa said with a gentle smile and gently rubbed the little girl's hair.
"... L'm... Fear..."
"Hem... Scared why?"
"Formerly my mother told me not to take this book, for fear that later I would become afraid of my short life, therefore my mother told me not to take it, but to take it, but I still want to know the reason why mom told me not to take it."
"So in the end, I took this book secretly and read it, which in the end made me know about the deadly disease I was suffering from."
"That's a Genetic Abnormality that will make a person only live to be 30 years old, after that the person will die, which is why my mother forbade me to read it, because I don't want to be afraid of my short life."
"This disease was not curable until now, after I learned about this book, I cried but I hid my tears from my mother and father, though I feared for my short life, but I..."
"I now want to live my life as best I can, so I want to return the book, but... I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the library guards... At the sight of Brother, I felt that big brother was a good person, therefore I asked big brother for help to return it."
The little girl explained everything and finally lowered her head, listening to all of that at first Daffa was shocked, but she now understood about the little girl before her.
Staring at the little girl in front of him with a gentle smile, Daffa then hugged the little girl then stroked her head softly, before finally speaking.
"How about if your brother accompanies you to the library guard, you need not be afraid of making mistakes, but you must immediately correct the mistakes you have made, you understand?" Daffa said, staring right into her beautiful little eyes like a crystal stone.
"Okay, promise?" Said the little girl by extending her little finger.
Seeing that Daffa chuckled, before finally nodding his head, and doing the same, then Daffa promised the little girl a pinky promise.
"Promise!"
Seeing that the little girl smiled widely, then Daffa stood up and extended his right hand to the little girl, saw Daffa's hand the little girl then immediately reached out her hand and clasped Daffa's hand tightly.
Then Daffa brought the little girl into the library, the two of them then went towards the library guard.
The two walked towards the guard slowly, it then caught the attention of the few people around, the library guard who looked like an old man, he said, also interested in Daffa and the little girl who was next to him.
"Excuse me." Daffa and the little girl stood before the library guard.
"What's wrong?"
"..."
Seeing the little girl not talking made Daffa look at her in confusion, but Daffa then noticed that the little girl's beautiful little lips were slowly opening, and then she spoke.
"My name is Erin Real... L'm... Forgive me for taking the book from this library secretly! I came to give it back! I'm sorry!" The little girl lowered her head and told the truth, hearing the explanation from the little girl before her made the two eyebrows of the library guard rise up, herself staring at Erin with a wrinkled face.
