“*Is falling in love a mistake? Why does no one allow this love to blossom? Even you ... ah, I regret having fallen in love*.”
...~•~...
Tama ran towards the door when she heard the sound of knobs being opened. “You go home,” he said in relief.
Victor looked at Tama from top to bottom. The girl was a mess, with red and puffy eyes. “What are you doing in my house?” tanyakanya.
“I don't think you're coming back!” Tama dropped himself on Victor, and of course was immediately avoided. “Where have you been these three weeks? I thought you had-“
“Mati?” Victor pushed Tama aside. “Therefore you took over my house?”
“No! After so long of not seeing each other, aren't you interested in being kind to me?” sulcan Tama. “I worry about you all day, so every time I come home from the foundation, I wait for you here.”
“Alright, forgive me.” Victor took the phone in Tama's hand, then typed something. “My mood is pretty good. You can see what I'm doing.”
Victor was not joking about his good mood. It was clearly visible as he breezed while humming, leaving Tama who immediately watched the music video he showed.
The video features a mysterious singer singing while swiping his violin. His tone flowed dramatically, giving the listener a sad atmosphere. The lyrics are more touching.
“Keren, right?” Victor came back with a proud smile.
“You spent three weeks watching this video?”
Victor flicked Tama's forehead. “Pads. This video was released two days ago. I recorded it.”
Tama blinked her eyes twice. Still don't understand. His mind was focused on Victor's normal, not cynical attitude. An attitude that makes her heart feel warm. Impossible Victor forgot he hated Tama, ‘kan?
“Are you ready?” A cute-faced man appeared clumsy. “You're here too?”
“See, our singer has appeared.” Victor patted his shoulder with an increasingly smashed smile. "He's a genius who can sing while playing the violin."
“We know each other?” ask the man Tama.
Victor's laughter broke out so loudly. “I told you, no one will recognize you.”
“I Ray.” Ray stroked his own nape.
“I told you, you should stop doing that.” Victor pulls Ray's hand. “That makes you look insecure. Without even knowing your past, people will definitely bother you.”
“Please don't look at me for too long,” said an uncomfortable Ray with Tama's gaze.
Alluded to actually staring at Ray getting closer and closer. She can't believe this sweet guy is Ray. Previously Ray covered most of his face with bangs, who would have thought behind the bangs he looked handsome?
“R-ray? Real ray?” Tama raised her eyebrows high.
“Shocked right? I cut his hair.” Victor folded his hands, once again proud of himself. “Lain times your face has to enter the camera. Visual as good as that, dear if not utilized.”
Ray's face flushed to the base of his ear. It was embarrassing, because he had never received a compliment before. “What's dinner so?” over Ray.
“Of course! We should celebrate this great success!” Victor was silent for a moment then wiped away the trail of tears on Tama's cheeks. “Appearance is important for a woman. Be prepared if you want to come.”
Tama shouted while covering her face. He just remembered the chaotic appearance of constantly crying for Victor. “Tu-wait here,” he said, then ran to his house.
Either Victor decides to stop hating, or the feeling fades because they haven't seen each other for a long time. That makes Tama happy. His view cannot be separated from Victor who tells of his activities the last three weeks.
Rather than commit suicide, Ray decides to accept Victor's help. So, she visits Ray's house to find out how poor the man's life is. Also think about what they can do.
“Dan, boom! I was surprised to see a violin and some musical instruments in his house. His home is almost like a music studio.”
Victor decides to make Ray a singer. It's not under a big agency or appearing on TV, but who cares? Appearing on social media is more profitable these days.
“He spent his solitude creating some songs. Everything is so amazing, it would be a waste if not published!” obviously Victor.
Victor uses his personal money to rent a studio, take care of the legality and copyright of Ray's songs. Not difficult, because he knows many people from various circles through social foundations.
Hiring a professional editor to take care of the music video. Doing a massive promotion, and done. The song was released, and soon became a trending topic, which put Victor's mood at its peak.
“It was amazing!” puji Tama's. “But why should it disappear? At least take me along.”
“You're a bitch. I hate you, remember?” resolute Victor. “If you come along, it will only make me sick of your various questions. There will be no progress in it.”
“You still hate me?” Tama's lips advanced two inches as Victor offended his hatred.
“Do you think?” Victor Goda.
“It looks like we got off at this stop,” interrupted Ray.
“If you become a good boy, and stop opposing me, I can consider being ordinary.” Victor got up from his seat. “Come down.”
Tama, Victor and Ray walk side by side, entering the third floor of a fancy restaurant by the beach. They have ordered a table on the balcony, with the charm of the night sky as a decoration.
“I think when you first met, you didn't know each other.” Ray unexpectedly opened the conversation.
Ray had been silent for years. Being able to change things about the young man in a relatively short time, Victor might just be able to do it. Victor's figure is getting awesome in Tama's eyes.
The conversation continued with fun. While waiting for the order to come, they discussed random things. Jumping from one topic to another, saying whatever comes to mind.
“By the way, you've spent too much money. Isn't this an exaggeration?” Ray looked at the expensive dish he never dared to crave for his entire life.
“Already, we'll just eat. If you're afraid I'm broke, just tell him to pay. His father was rich,” Victor joked. “Therefore I took him.”
Tama was silent for a moment when she was appointed, then laughed with Victor. “Of course. Don't worry Ray,” entertain him.
Right after Tama bribed her food, there was a noise coming from the balcony next to them. There were two women who were arguing, rather one of them continued to speak in a high tone. Wailing and crying.
The noise around made their conversation not sound clear. Tama stood up, intending to break them up. Suddenly, the short-haired woman jumped from her balcony.
Tama exclaimed, almost running to the edge of their balcony. Only, Victor held Tama's arm and turned his body violently. “Do not see. Your stomach contents will come out all if you see it.”
The sound of screaming afterwards. Sure oes. The sharp stones that had been intended as decorations, were now covered in blood. A pitiful body was loosened on it.
Someone just killed himself.
