Rinai Rain

Part 25: Fragile

Part 25: Fragile

Farel Star

It hasn't rained in two days. The thin-looking clouds hid their cries from me. Although the rain stubs I did not see, but the twilight sky replaced everything. Dusk is like replacing the shadow of Alvia when she is not on the side. The beautiful-eyed lady with those neat thick eyebrows these few days managed to make me fall awake. He can make me vulnerable helpless, but he can return to achieve the wishful thinking he had released.

A short message asked me to visit a place. The message was full of twilight as I felt it with my feelings. It was not from Alvia, but from someone else. The other person I just met this morning while I was doing my follow-up checkup after my hospitalization. I actually can't believe the words he mentioned to me this morning. But it wouldn't hurt if I went to make sure.

The place is fresh in my memory. Azka and I have been there before to accompany the woman who worships the twilight. He taught us again about the night. He has indeed repeatedly chanted the philosophy of twilight to me, but still the rain I wait. Everyone has their own philosophy in life.

I finally got to my mother's car which was free to take. I can't carry a motorcycle, I can still take a car. I rarely wear it.

I was shocked to see him behind the harmonious glow of twilight. I feel like I'm the stupidest person in the world. Fooled by the melancholy of love that blinds the eyes. My palms seemed to be unable to sweat anymore, my heart stopped to beat fast, and my soul was carried away by the inviting atmosphere.

The palms of the hands touch each other gently like a pair of lovers who have just been made a day. Not only that, I even saw a kiss at dusk. He enjoyed it as if he enjoyed the twilight. I feel stupid. Only a few days ago he said love, but it vanished back in a twilight. I felt a smile crack in my heart that had stuck back, even though it could not be treated.

He's that guy!

    I wanted to beat her face to form. He stole that kiss from me.

I drove my car across Azka's house. There's a big question I want to ask him. Only one day it feels like Azka mentioned things that make me happy, not in line with the reality.

"DOES ALVIA REALLY LOVE ME?"

     I pull the collar hard. I want to put it on my face. I realized we had just become friends again.

Hours\-hours ago ....

I sat watching the news this morning. Not only am I here, but there are a lot of people sitting in the row behind me. This place with\-AC is quite soothing because out there the sun shines bright even though it is still too early in the morning. The thick smell of medicine sometimes approached me. Of course this is common when we are in the hospital.

I waited for my mother to finish the hospital administration after the medical check-up. Long enough to get the medicine that I have to drink even though my body feels better. That's why I'm waiting for him in the front row of the waiting room to watch the morning news.

Someone was sitting next to me. He looked smiling and friendly. Her hair is neatly combed. Polo shirts and a layer of jeans make him look cool. I returned his smile.

"Hmm, are you Farel?" ask the man.

I shook my head, "How do you know?"

"You don't need to know that. I'm just saying that none of this is true. He just pityes you. Nothing more" he told me. I don't understand what he's saying.

"What do you mean?" ask this weird guy next to me. His tone sounded underestimating.

Tangaku clenched his head as he mentioned Alvia's name. I'd love to finish him off now, but I'm aware of the place. How did he know about this?

"Don't get emotional here. I know you won't be able to beat me up. I know how you are."

"You who?"

"I'm the one who taught Alvia about twilight. People from his past. You may never hear my name. But let me introduce you, I'm Zaki, Alvia's boyfriend she's hiding from you two. We haven't broken up. You guys managed to lie to him."

     He stood up from his seat. I still can't reply to hers.

"I'll go first. I'll call you later if you want to see the truth" he said. He just left by leaving me various questions. My annoyance still feels. I was trying to control my emotions before it all exploded. He disappeared at the end of the corridor with a mysterious\-trace trail that he left behind.

    The sound of the vehicle echoed in my ears many times. The leaves of the dry trees fall because they are not near the rain. The streets are so arid longing for a rinai. So did I, I miss the dew point of the rain that often hits my face when I wait for it. I want to tell you about something I just experienced.

   I am fragile again, rain.

Azka couldn't give me an answer yesterday. He could only tell me about a man named Zaki. Someone from Alvia's past whom she had been hiding. Oh no, he just hid it from me. Azka knew about Zaki from Alvia directly.

    However, the big question is why did he return to Alvia after all he ever did to Alvia? And why is Alvia still lulled by him? That question is the only one who can answer, namely Alvia herself.

"Farel, none of that is true. We just misunderstood. He tried to kiss me." Someone shouted with that phrase from behind me.

    I'm turning. I saw Alvia next to the car that pulled over. I no longer look at love, but I stare at hate. I didn't answer the sentence. I let him get closer.

"Just believe me Farel, it's all a misunderstanding" he said.

"Crieve what you said? There is no more trust in Alvia. With all the sweet things you said back then, you could destroy it with a moment. You are great" I replied.

He shook. The tears came out slowly, but I knew it was fake.

"Farel, trust me. I love you Farel."

    I can't believe that word. I turned around leaving him.

"Why do you love me?" I said turning around.

"I care about you Farel. I don't want you to go back to your fragile rich first, and I feel sorry to see you." he replied.

I heard a word Zaki once said, pity. I turned my body back and headed straight for Alvia. Zaki was already beside her. My hatred was mixed with my frustration at Zaki. I tried to slap Alvia.

   "Pity you say?"

"Don't, Farel," cried Azka who had just got out of her car. It came right at this moment.

    My slap was broken by Zaki who was beside Alvia. Zaki immediately quickly wanted to repay me. My reflex reacted by looking at his fist. I managed to dodge, but not with a second chance. That fist was right into my face.

Unexpectedly, Azka came quickly. He resisted Zaki's attack and said, "Don't you bother my best friend and Alvia."

    I saw that serious look. Azka helped me like I helped her first.
