SPLASH OF HAPPINESS

Memories

"You have nothing to fear" he told Rara.

Still remembered clearly his first meeting with Taka. At that time Rara was daydreaming and had no preparation for someone's arrival. Rara has just returned home and intends to find additional work. But suddenly the rain came down as if it did not let him go. He also daydreamed on the sidewalk while waiting for the quiet streets to cross. And that's when Taka came and seduced him so as not to rain.

"Hey, don't be afraid!"

Of course the presence of Taka made Rara surprised. He retreated his footsteps backwards, awakening Taka to Rara's unpreparedness to accept her presence. Taka tries to convince Rara that she is not a bad person.

"Ap-is ... kam-you han-han—"

"Ghost you mean?" tanyanya smiled wryly.

"Em, why are you paddling me?" asked Rara innocently. He stared at the man near him.

Really, Rara's heart was not broken. Rara was overwhelmed with anxiety and admiration mixed in. The man was so stunning in his eyes. Bewildered if an angel is undercover for her. Or maybe a demon who tries to resemble to harm him so as not to focus while crossing the highway.

"I saw you rain and then I looked at you. Is this wrong?" tanyanya turned her head towards Rara who was beside her.

"Ep. Nothin. It's not. I mean ...,"

"Hey! You want to cross, don't you?" ask Taka immediately to Rara.

"Yeah. I want to cross." Rara answered him with a stammer.

"Come, we're crossing over!"

Taka also provides a way for Rara to be able to cross the highway, while still covering the body of the girl so as not to rain. They crossed the road together without holding hands. On a road full of memories.

.........

Kaka ....

Rara sobbing. Of course he sobbed after realizing a reality that did not live up to his expectations. Rara sat down to bend her knees in the corner of the room. He hugged tightly the box containing the yukata gift from Taka. Rara could not accept the harsh reality that plagued her life. It hurts more than just being the backbone of the family.

I just felt that way, Taka. Why did you leave when I realized I was in love? Why, Taka? Whyyy?!

He also held tightness in his chest. A million sweet memories seemed to be proof of the feeling that resided in the chest. Rara couldn't possibly forget about it. He needs Taka to accompany his days. And also the spirit of life's struggle that has no limits. However, now all is lost as if swallowed by the earth. Rara has to let Taka go forever.

One week later...

The day continued to change without caring about the tightness that struck the heart. Morning replaced the dark night. Like the sadness that hit Rara. Although heavy to run, but Rara continues to fight for loved ones. He must be able to forget the sadness that hit. Because there are still many people who are dependents.

One week passed making Rara must remain strong with the destiny of her life. As much as possible smile in the midst of grief that has not disappeared completely. And now it appears that he is being dressed before attending his sister's wedding. She looked beautiful even though that faint smile was not visible on her face. Rara prefers silence to talk a lot.
