"But, is that a straw for a couple?" Kirana was a little surprised.
His face became red, with a sense of shame filling him. Kirana did not expect that she would be treated as such. There were only two choices in his mind. Accept it or reject it. If I were him, I would accept it without a second thought. But, I know the disturbing emotions that women experience. Therefore, I do not oblige Kirana to accept it.
"If you don't want to, it's okay. You don't have to think too hard. Just say you want to or not."
"Then I'll drink it."
In the end, he accepted it and took the drink from my hand and put it on the table. Without thinking anything else, he drank it with his face still flushed.
"I'm thirsty too, can I drink it too?" Myself asked.
"E-Eh??" Kirana was surprised by my words.
"Why, isn't the straw two branches? We can have a drink together, right?"
"Th-That's right. W-But…"
Kirana stopped talking and went back to drinking the orange juice, with a timid expression on her face. At the time he was doing so, I held one of the other straw branches.
Then I said to him, "Here you go, don't think about it. Let's just say I'm your best friend."
After saying so, I brought the straw closer to my lips, and immediately drank it without a second thought. We both drank at the same time. Wouldn't something like this make people misunderstand? Some people think we are lovers. However, I don't think so.
My friends were very surprised to see that. They seem to not believe that an innocent man will be a cool man. The person who was originally a fool who only relied on imagination, can now act in accordance with the imagination created by him.
"Indra, I didn't expect that you would do that." Bayu surprised.
"True, wouldn't you behave strangely if you were near a girl. Just holding his hand alone makes you gleefully half dead. But now, you can drink together with a girl without expressing anything. Are you really Indra?" Ryan was wondering about my drastic change.
"Well, what's the problem? Besides, this girl doesn't like me. I won't be too confident. After all, I had already abandoned my intention to love another girl. Because I already have an appointment with someone very special in my life."
While saying so, I remembered my promise with Elena who at that time said, 'Make me fall in love with you again so that I can express my feelings quickly!' I will never forget that promise. Because he is the one who has changed my life to be more meaningful.
"Now you've become an adult, Indra." Bayu smiled thinly.
"So, don't you like Vera anymore?" Ryan asked.
Hearing the question he asked, it made me take a deep breath, "Huft.." After that, I said to him, "I don't like it anymore. Or can I say, I'll never like it again."
Vera, hearing that, was offended at having been rejected by a man she disliked. His feelings are like mixed. Vera was silent for a moment while looking at me who was giving a sharp look towards her. But still, he could not say anything. He felt like he was being held back by something that made his lips unable to move.
"In that case, I'll go home first, because it's getting dark" I said.
"ah! I'm going home too. This juice's over, so I'm going home, too." Kirana swept after finishing that orange juice.
"Then do you want me to deliver it?"
"No need, it looks like our house is far away."
"In that case, I'll drive you to the front of the park."
"All right."
"Hey, you know. I've known you for a long time, I just forgot your name. I've known you since you liked Vera. Therefore, I know some of your nature. But for some reason, today you feel different. Did something happen? Tell this to your friend! Ahaha!" Kirana opened the conversation.
"Nearly a few minutes are considered friends. You're an interesting person huh, Kirana. If you want to hear my story, I want you to remember it every day, because I just don't want my existence to be wiped out someday."
"It seems like this conversation is getting heavy, yes. You don't have to tell me about your suffering right now. One day, wherever you are, if you can't endure the suffering you're going through again, you can come and talk to me again. From now on, we are real friends!"
"Thank you, Kirana."
After a long conversation, we arrived at the park we had promised. Actually, this park is not far enough from that restaurant. While watching the sun set, we started to say goodbye to each other.
"I'll go home first, yeah!" Vera said goodbye while waving one of her hands.
"All right."
After saying that, he ran back to me. After his departure, the atmosphere became quiet again. Darkness began to envelop me. Ah... All of that is coming again! The gloomy feeling I experienced as an adult. The feeling came back inside me. The only thing that saved me right now was the sunlight that was about to set.
"Indra?"
But when I think so. Someone called my name in a soft voice. The sound is like a beautiful piece of music. Like hearing raindrops, as well as the swift flow of rivers that echo in the ears.
As I turned to the place where the voice came from. A beautiful girl greeted me. A beautiful girl is like an angel. That girl doesn't feel foreign to me. Right, because he's the~
"Elena? Why are you here?" I started asking him.
"Oh, I just bought a shirt from a clothing store near this park. You alone, what are you doing here?"
"I just went with my friend for a meal at the newly opened restaurant" I explained.
"Oh, yeah. Looks like the sun is about to set. Do you want to see the sunset with me?"
"Of course, why not?"
Elena then invited me to go to the middle of the park, because it was the best place to see the sunset.
With a count of 3. 2. 1. The sun begins to set in the west. The beauty emitted by the sunlight, made my eyes glaze over.
"It's so beautiful, yeah." Elena flatters.
"true."
"Then, until tomorrow, Indra. I seem to have been waited for by my servant."
"All right, until tomorrow!"
Elena came home with her maid in her own car.
The atmosphere was quiet again…
