The Back To 2012

6. Things to Do in Spring For Winter

After Winter left, Spring instead of sleeping, he hurriedly got out of his bed. Then make sure Winter's gone from his house.

"Why don't you obey Winter's orders?" lontar Tessa's.

"I'm not sleepy. Anyway I'm not a kid who has to take a nap when I get home from school. I'm 27 years old, I'm not used to taking naps at my age."

As Tessa furrowed her brows, she was astonished after hearing what her daughter said.

"Since when did you turn 27. As far as mom is concerned, you're only 16." Tessa chuckles. "Do you feel mature, so you want to be called a 27-year-old woman"

Spring swallowed his salivation, then spontaneously scratched his nape. "Yes, ma'am, it's not fun being an adult" he said stammeringly.

"According to the mother, at the age of children and teenagers are fun. Being an adult is not fun. In adulthood you have to work hard to make money, and you will forget to have fun. What's more, if you have a child, you'll forget the name having fun with friends."

Spring who forgot about himself, who was back in his teens, had to endure the embarrassment while patting his mouth.

"Do you think I look weird?"

Tessa chuckled while shaking her head. "Mom doesn't think you're weird, because what I think, you might want to reach adulthood soon, because you're tired of the name going to school."

"Well, whether you're an adult or a teenager, as long as there's a Winter I'll be happy. I don't care if I'm tired of the school name, that fatigue will be gone if I just look at Winter."

Tessa smiles. "Do you like Winter as a man?"

"Hm, do you think I deserve her?"

"Of course it's worth it. Mother's beautiful daughter is a perfect match for a handsome man like Winter."

Spring widened his smile. "Then pray that I can make Winter have the same feelings as me."

Spring hurriedly returned to his room, not to fall asleep as Winter had ordered. But Spring went to the room only to pick up her diary in the drawer. He writes about some of the things he plans to do, about how he will make Winter break the principles of his friendship, and about how he will make Winter defend his life. When Spring's birthday is in May, Spring has just over a month to make Winter undo the bad intentions of taking lives. Even if necessary, tomorrow or the day after Spring must make Winter think to continue to defend his life. And there's one thing that's more important than anything, which is not letting Winter get as lonely as he used to be. Spring will always be there for Winter, both happy and sad. That's why Spring played her best friend Winter. Each Spring date records how she will help Winter in the midst of her predicament.

It did not feel like it was night, Spring took so many notes that he made a full article in his diary. People would confide in his diary, but the notes in his diary were full of key points he had to make during his time in 2012. Maybe his diary was full of curses, but this time it was full of various plans that he would do during 2012.

When Spring was still not finished taking notes, suddenly his mother came knocking on his bedroom door. "Spring dinner's ready."

Spring hurried to close his diary and put it back in the drawer, then joined at the dinner table with his father and mother.

"It looks like everything is so good" Spring stared at the dishes at the dinner table.

However, amid the pleasure of eating the dish, the noise in the Winter home again sounded like the old days at the same time, date, and year. Yeah, that's the sound of Winter's father and mother fighting. Instantly, Spring placed his spoon and fork on his plate.

"Don't God feel unfair. While I was eating a delicious meal, Winter had to listen to her parents' quarrels" Spring said with a soft look.

"Then call Winter here. Let him stay at our house tonight" James added.

"No, if we tell her to come home, it'll only make Winter sadder. He'll think we pity him, because Winter doesn't like to be pitied about his family's problems." Spring then shuffled from her seat. "I'm gonna go see Winter, if I don't come back tonight, don't worry about me." He hurried to his feet towards the door.

"Where can it be, girls are forbidden to go at night. What else are you going with the boys" James said in a loud voice.

"St." Tessa fizzed as she pressed her index finger against her husband's lips. "He just went to see Winter. We already know if Spring and Winter are friends, how Winter might do something evil to our daughter."

"No need to worry, because we already know with Winter's excellent attitude towards Spring. He was very attentive to Spring. I wanted Winter to be her lover Spring."

"Can't, Spring has to finish his education first, then he can have a lover."

Tessa shook her head after hearing what her husband said."Your mind is too conservative, where there are people who will stand it if not dating at the age of a teenager."

***

Arriving at Spring in front of Winter's house, the commotion of Winter's father and mother is clearly heard when he was still at home. Spring hesitated to press the bell button, fearing that his presence would only interfere with the conversation between his father and mother Winter. However, before long he stood up, Alex suddenly came approaching from behind him.

Alex patted Spring on the shoulder and asked. "What are you doing in front of my house, do you want to see Winter?"

"Yes, can you call him."

"You can go see him at the villa. He's been there."

Spring ran to where his best friend was. And sure enough what Alex said, Winter was in his family's villa. He was sitting in front of the terrace staring at the night sky.

"Hey Winter, what are you doing here?" tanya Spring approached Winter.

Winter's gaze was also shifted to look at Spring. He smiled at her, but her smile was clearly very faded, as if he was hiding his own look from Spring.

"I'm enjoying the stars."

Spring sat next to her Winter. "You should have told me that you would enjoy the sky here. You enjoy it alone."

Winter grabbed Spring's hand. "Can I hold you for a minute."

"Of course I can."

Winter quickly clutches Spring's body tightly and puts his chin on the shoulder of the woman who has always been his best friend.

"I hope you'll be my best friend forever. And will remain someone who has always been there for me."

"What if we're not friends forever. Maybe someday we'll be lovers."

"Never break the principle of our friendship. Because I don't want our relationship to be fractured just for being lovers."

Spring releases Winter's arms, then looks down at Winter's face. "Why do you always say that, when you have never tried to be my lover."

"I guessed it, because I saw how the relationship between my father and mother had been fractured. As a couple, you can get bored with such a relationship. And in the end we will often fight over trivial matters."

"Wouldn't friendship also cause quarrels, we used to fight and don't want to talk to each other afterwards."

"But before long, we made up. You know, when my parents had a big fight, before long, they forgave each other, but they felt awkward afterwards. They don't even talk to each other even though they forgive each other. I've seen how Alex broke up with her boyfriend, they're no longer communicating with each other. Even to make friends, they are reluctant to do so. I'm afraid that if we combine love, we'll part not as lovers, but as friends."

Spring clutched Winter's body. "Then get rid of your fear, for I will remain with you."
