Ray was silent passively hearing that sentence, the cheeks that had been dry, now wetted again by tears that never stopped. He firmly clenched his hands and remembered the figure of the person he had once admired.
Not knowing what to say, Ray can only remember fond memories with his father first. The lips that had been flat now frowned holding back the sound of crying that wanted to be silenced.
The figure that was with him could only watch as the unfortunate body endured the pain alone, sometimes his eyes look up at the sky looking at the ranks of stars that are so beautiful that he does not fall into the feelings of Ray who is not okay.
“Da-where do you know if you used to say that sentence to me?, and who exactly ka-” Ray said by cutting the sentence.
“That's enough, I don't need to tell you where I know that phrase from. I just want to say that all about you in your childhood and when you were alive in your first world, I knew everything about you. Do you remember when you first entered elementary school?, there you were so nervous to introduce yourself that in the middle of the introductory sentence you even wet the bed instead?.” Obviously the figure that was with Ray.
Her tears instantly came to a halt when she heard what the figure had said to her. His own hand was raised to wipe back the wet tears for the second time.
“Really! … I had it when I was six years old, it was the most embarrassing experience I had” Ray said with a slightly smiling face.
“Ha .. ha ... ha .., I don't think that's the most embarrassing thing you've ever experienced”.
“ha?, I guess just i-, uh .. wait a minute. There seems to be one thing more embarrassing than that, if not the wrong beginning of junior high school!”. Ray said back.
“It turns out you still remember it .. at that time you were the single most striking student of the other and your name was first remembered by the student organization chairman was not it?” He ejeked at Ray.
“Su-it's already, you better forget it, I don't want to remember it back”.
Instantly the laughter from the figure that was with Ray came off quite violently which made Ray surprised by the intonation of his laughter.The figure held his stomach because of the funny memories that were quite tickling for him.
“Hey ..it's not something worth laughing at, I feel like there's nothing worth laughing at. You better stop that laugh!”. Said Ray who was irritated by the laughter of the figure.
“How-ever can I stop it, but I'm right, right? it was the most embarrassing event for you. On the first day of school, you were so excited to go to school. Wake up at six in the morning and leave in black and white clothes at seven. Arriving at the gate, you can only be silent and bent while looking at the others ..”
“Already, you better stop it. I don't want to remember that incident, then let it pass”. Reproof Ray.
As soon as a simple little laugh came back from the figure, he walked a few steps closer to Ray.
“Hi .. hi. hi .. hi ..., do you feel ashamed?. Why feel embarrassed, because here there are only two of us”. He ejeked at Ray.
“Then ... I still don't want to recall the incident”. Ray said while whining.
“I told you to stop!... I don't want to remember it anymore!”.
While chuckling, the figure resumed his story to make Ray's face blush in embarrassment. Ten minutes passed and the figure ended the story by concluding that Ray who used to wear the wrong school clothes at the beginning of the inaugural entrance to the school.
Obviously Ray can only resignedly listen to the story until it runs out, he can only cover his red face.
“Ha .. ha.. ha .. ha.. it was an interesting experience right?, out of hundreds of new students, only you were the first to be known by senior brother .. ehe..”
“I ... I just forgot, I guess on that day it was Wednesday, which is why I was wearing black and white clothes”. Obviously Ray confirmed what happened.
“Hm .. is it true?, not every early school entry is done on Monday?. Not only in Japan, even in Indonesia, America, China, Korea and any country the school admission rules right at the beginning of the week?”. Say the mysterious figure to Ray while counting every State he calls using his finger.
“Argh ... forget it, and thank you for making me stop being sad. You were so great looking for a topic that I didn't think about the bitterness I was experiencing”.
Without looking directly, the figure knew from the sentence that Ray said if he was painting a thin smile on his lips.
“At last you smile too, after all it is not a topic to make you laugh or happy, because it is a story that you have experienced is not?”. Looking up at the stars above the black sky.
“Huh .. is true, according to your story I did experience it. Argh .. What matters is my story. Although it feels embarrassing, but at that time I found him who wants to be friends with me”. Ray said as he folded his hands over his stomach.
Hearing the sentence “Dia” from Ray's mouth, the mysterious figure instantly folded his knees and hands together then drowned his sad face.
“Hei ... don't you miss it?” Ask the mysterious figure to Ray.
“Ugh .. I .. I miss him so much!, he was my first and last best friend. If I had gone home with him, it probably wouldn't have happened. But .. everything is too late. When I heard the news of his death, I could only be speechless and even from that time all my smiles were fake”.
Although his face was covered with feet and hands, it was clearly visible if the heart of the mysterious figure was in pain. She squeezed the white clothes with those short sleeves so hard.
“Hei .. never blame yourself for his passing. Besides you don't know at that time he was sick”. Rebuke the mysterious figure to Ray.
“In that part of the problem, I consider him a friend, but I don't know how he is. But after I read her diary, I finally knew the reason why she wouldn't talk to me about her illness. It felt silly, but he didn't want to worry me about his health. It took me a long time to let go, but right now I still remember him. If I could meet him just once, I just want to say ‘I love you .. Kibou’.”
