Stuck On You's

Ever See The Same Afternoon Sky

If later my memory returns, hopefully in the past and now you are my lover..🥀 - Richardo J. P.

Richard was like he had fallen and been thrown so deep, it was dark and claustrophobic when he heard the unexpected reality. A reality that cannot be paid for with money and replaced with anything. If he could, Richard wanted to restore all of his memories as he normally does on files on a computer.

"Is it right, Ma?" Richard repeated his question to Joana.

Joana who was originally sitting next to Julian now got up and sat down beside her son, "That's right, dear. The proof is that you gave the ring to the girl you love. You begged Mom to buy it." Joana with her gentle motherly attitude.

Richard rubbed his face rough. His gaze was far-awake, given the reality about Raka and Maura that he could not accept yet, now a new reality that made him re-hit. He looked at Joana and Julian's faces, "Then where is the girl, Ma?"

Joana and Julian smiled with relief at Richard's reaction, "He's in City A, honey" Joana said.

"Given the ring you gave the girl, papa wants us to meet her parents immediately. You lose your memory, of course you don't remember the extent of your relationship" Julian said.

Richard was shocked, "Why rush to see his parents, Pa?" ask Richard.

"Papa wants you to get married and live together. Living together will speed up your healing process and your memory, Richard." Julian gave the ring box to Richard.

"But I'm not ready to get married yet, Pa" Richard stared at the ring he was holding, "not that I don't accept it, but can I get engaged first and marry him after my memory returns?" ask Richard.

Richard went back to enjoying tea that afternoon, Julian and Joana were joking around. Richard just shook his head looking at his parents like a young man who was in love drunk, from the past until now their love never runs out, the more intimate the day. Finally Richard walked to a house that was used to grow flowers and other plants that are Joana's favorite.

The day began to fall afternoon. Orange glows were seen on the western horizon with some white clouds accompanying it. Richard sat pensively about what his father had said.

On the one hand Richard was reluctant to accept it but on the other hand he felt sad. He was also confused by his feelings.

"Why did my heart suddenly feel sad when the girl's face and all about her I don't remember. Is it true that my relationship with the girl has reached a serious stage?" ask Richard to himself. I don't know when he revealed his heart and put a ring on the girl's ring finger. It was so regrettable, Richard felt guilty to the girl.

"I'm sorry if our upcoming meeting isn't as warm and comfortable as it was before." Richard again observed the dark sky, comfortable looking at the orange sky that slowly disappeared in place of night. A willingness from the twilight to the goddess of the night, sending the moon back to greet the earth and all its contents.

Become your handkerchief... A sentence that Richard remembered in the same atmosphere, different places and a heart that felt lacking because he felt someone who had accompanied him saw the afternoon sky together.
