That Storm Must've Passed

Old memories returned

"Remember no? At that time I often approached your desk just to borrow an eraser?"

"Ah . yaa.. I think you're a nosy student."

"Would I have had a crush on you back then?"

"really???"

"When don't you feel??"

"True.I don't know."

"All I remember was Yudi who had a crush on me at that time."

"Even I was the one who brought Yudi apples to your house at that time."

"really?"

More or less that was the first conversation between Hendi and I via WhatsApp.

I don't know why suddenly my chest seemed to be fed by something warm, which I haven't felt in a long time lately.

In my saturation, I felt as if I had just discovered something thrilling.

I haven't felt this feeling in a long time. It was as if I had just met my first love.

"If there's time, can we have a video call?" Ask Hendi.

"Yes..can... sometime yes.." said I blushed embarrassedly.

I feel like a teenager just fell in love. He is not someone who has ever lived in my heart.

But somehow, her greeting made me want to establish something beautiful.

Ah .. Why am I so crazy???

I imagined Hendi's face when he was Junior High. I remember, at that time I did not like if he often approached my stool. I take it too much acting.

At that time, I was having a crush on another child who never even once glanced at me.

Even I was judged Yudi was not the slightest bit tempted, even I felt very disturbed.

The other friends tease me more often and pair me with Yudi. While I could only pay attention to Wendi, the child I was secretly feeling.

My memories that were briefly wandering back shocked by the message that came through wa.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly Hendi woke me from the reverie of the past.

"Nothing.I'm just cleaning up something."

"How are you feeling?" tanyakanya.

"How's what?"

"How do you feel after knowing my heart and feelings?"

"Ahh.that's apparently..."

"Yes.i'm curious..."

"Oh yeah.. What's your job now?" ask me to shift the question that embarrassed me for no reason.

"I'm now in government, the communications department. That you?"

"Ah yaa. I teach." I answered briefly.

"It's been a while?" tanyakanya.

"You're living off the island now?" Ask Hendi again.

"Yeah..."

"Are you Din?"

"What's that?"

"I miss you. ", said Hendi without shady aling-aling.

Somehow there was a gentle swish touching my long frozen heart.

"Ah..kamu can just." I replied as if I did not know what to say.

"Today Din ... If we could meet, maybe I hugged you." replied Hendi again surprised me.

"Are you this ... why say that..."

"Do you not believe me, Din?" Ask Hendi.

"It's not...But it's been a long time, almost thirty years." replied my origin.

"That's Din .. There's something you need to know about Din..."

"What's that?"

"Watch the picture I sent."

"Hmm??" I muttered while opening the photo that Hendi had just sent.

"Who is Hen? That's your wife and kids, right??"

"Yaa right. Have you looked carefully, Din?" Ask.

"M...why is it?" I pretended to ask. I knew where Hendi was going.

I noticed a picture of Hendi's wife, more or less his face that was almost similar to mine. And he was wearing glasses, just like me!

At first glance similar to me, although I honestly admit I'm sweeter than him.?

Ah, why is this Hendi. What the hell does that mean? Suddenly I was nervous myself.

"After graduating from Junior High, I went there yesterday to find out about Dirimy, Din. But you seem to be lost to the earth."

"Continue?"

"Until I meet my current wife. I'm obsessed with you."

"Is this really what you're saying, Hendi?" I'm looking for certainty about the truth of the story.

"You don't believe me, do you?"

"It's not so Hen. But it's true.just like your story's a fairy tale." I said I don't want to offend Hendi.

"I really hope that one day I can meet you Din."

"Yes.hopefully...."

"True, Din.I really want to meet and release the feeling that once existed in my heart that once could only be stored in wishful thinking." said Hendi in earnest.

I was confused and confused not knowing what to answer.

In my heart was actually curious, what would happen if I met Hendi at a time like this. At the time we were no longer young and already had a partner each, even with different situations.
