Smile Effects

Tenth Clank to the ThreeFive

The dim space becomes one of the visible objects. The open window made the room somewhat bright due to the moonlight.

The wind coming in from the window made the room cold. The figure of the man playing the piano in the room was seen behind the curtain that fluttered into the wind.

Orion plays the piano full of his passion, he plays while looking at a photo of someone who looks like him.

Orion smiled faintly as a flash of memory this afternoon recalled. Time he thought would not happen. The piano slowed down as he lowered his head. He stopped his finger dancing on the note.

Orion breathed slowly. "My goal is one step away. Why do I doubt?" He murmured at the wind blowing the curtain. "He also seemed to have started to feel comfortable with me, after that my task was completed. But why me-,"

Orion was grimacing slowly. "Isn't this worth it?" He shook. His hands were breaking the coarse hair, what did he do? Why is he even talking to himself?

Drrt ... Drrt ... Drrt ...

The sound of his mobile phone shaking made him lift his head. His hand reached for the flat object he had stored on the dark brown piano.

Mommy. That name was written when he unlocked his phone. He stared for a moment at the name, the person he had always wanted to meet, but he had no courage. He was scared, he was sad too. But on the one hand he also misses the figure who has been so fond of him.

With one breath he pressed the green button there. And the next second, his heart was beating very fast. His whole body was hot and trembling. Did he not hear wrong? Is he dreaming or hallucinating? Please tell anyone!

"Mother," a word that came out of Orion's mouth went hand in hand with a drop of tears that escaped from his eyes.

"Orion, when are you coming home? Sorry Mother."

...***...

Arya heard everything. At first, he wanted to visit Pak Jaya in the administration room to remind him of the additional hours in his class. But once aware that the physics teacher was having a serious conversation with Candy, he was forced to wait. Afraid to blow, he thought.

"Schooler?" Arya was surprised.

A road like this never even crossed his pretty smart head. It is too impossible to remember the girl who always eager to go to school. When they first met at the school gate because he accidentally nudged, he saw Candy was a girl who had a good learning spirit.

At least from there Arya can judge if Candy enjoys studying at this school.

"If it's your decision, you can't do much Candy" said Pak Jaya resigned. "But if it's about the school fees you're worried about, we can find a way out."

Slowly but surely, Candy's head looked up when Pak Jaya said so. He smiles. "Father knows your unrest, but don't despair like this. We'll find a solution together. It's not hard to remember you're an accomplished student here. Don't worry, will you?"

"I-I mean Father?" Ask the girl.

"The school will find a donor for you. There are no positives yet, but we'll work."

Candy's defense was destroyed instantly. He cried so hard hearing that phrase. All the sadness, the reality of life that made him have to end the dream, the endless pain of thinking there were no more people supporting him, collapsed thanks to one sentence.

"Thank you, sir."

His body fell down to the ground. His face was covered with both hands. Candy cried as if tomorrow there would be no more days in front of Pak Jaya. Not sure, but there's a glimmer of hope here. That's more than enough.

"Oh Allah, thank you, sir. I don't know what else to do,"

Seventeen years of his life were spent with his mother. Her father abandoned them both and went nowhere. He hardly knew what Dad's definition was if the teacher at school didn't explain it.

Every night he hoped, God would be a little kind to make him happy.

"Have not cried Candy," said Pak Jaya calming.

His big hand patted Candy's head several times. His chest was a little claustrophobic at the cries of his disciple. That girl's life must be hard. He will try his hardest to seduce the school so that this one student can finish school.

Candy bit her lower lip tight. Can't do. He couldn't stop crying. His feelings were filled with all sorts of emotions he made him claustrophobic.

Without being able to hold it in anymore, Candy lets herself get dragged away by her subconscious. Until it all goes dark.

...***...

Counted several times Arya took a deep breath while massaging her forehead. He did not think about Candy who suddenly fainted and made Pak Jaya in the fog to invite the health care doctor.

"He's exhausted. Maybe because of crying constantly" the doctor told him. "The condition of his body is also weak, malnourished. I prescribe some vitamins for regular Candy drinking,"

There was nothing Arya gave except a weak nod. Her job is to accompany Candy in the UKS and listen to whatever the doctor says. However, after hearing this, Arya seemed to have become a universal fool.

It shouldn't have been the money he gave for his condolences. The other kids were so insensitive that Candy fainted like this. That girl needs more food than money.

"I'll say goodbye, excuse me."

"Yes, thank you Doc."

After the departure of the doctor from the UKS, Arya removed the plastic chair that was always used by PMR children while on duty. Unfortunately, this is still in class so the blue-slayer boys don't exist.

Arya with a chin. "It turns out you could pass out too yeah, Dy," he murmured.

Candy's face was pale. How long has this girl been crying? Didn't he eat well until he collapsed like this?

Stupidhead! Rutuk Arya in the heart.

A gentle flick he lay on Candy's open forehead.

"Lo ya, sad, sad. But don't forget to eat the same rest as well," pause for a moment. Arya tidied up the girl's hair that was wet from cold sweat. Candy's eyes were still closed when an hour had passed. "Gue doesn't know what it's like to lose. What is clear must be very painful, yes, until you like gini?"

It doesn't want to be pretentious by advising Candy to forget everything and make this a whip in the future. Orion once gave him a raw bogem for empathy.

The gibberish said that if the depth of one's wounds no one knew. When one person says sick, another human just sees. That's why they say it's easy to get up and forget it. However, those who know the details of pain are the people who experience it.

So, how can they just look and speak so easily, but not feel it?

He smiled bitterly. "Gue also won't want your pain to be the same as the pain of people I know Dy," Arya continued.
