“Why are you looking again?”
“Because I still want to see your face..”.
Daniel was silent for a moment. “Then, just look at it until you're satisfied!”
*****
“How, do you like the taste?” maura asked Daylan after tasting her ice cream.
“Ya, it feels good.” Daylan replied as she continued to walk side by side with Maura.
“Day, check it out!” pinta Maura while pointing towards the balloon that is flying.
Daylan raised her face to the sky.”Hm. L saw. Why?”
“You remember? Back when I was sad, you made a love-shaped balloon for me and asked me to write my wish and fly it together into the sky?”
“You still remember it?”
“How can I forget? I recorded everything as I could and kept it as good as I could. Gomawo,
Daylan...”[1]
Daylan retracted her gaze back with a smile. “Thank you for remembering it..” Daylan then turned to the side. Eyes widened. No way! This is..not reality, right? I must have seen it wrong!
“Day..!” call Maura for the umpteenth time still without an answer. Maura shifted and looked at Daylan's deathly changed face. “Day, why are you, anyway? Pain, yes?” Daylan still did not respond with her stifled gaze. “Hhhh...” Maura sighed long and then followed the direction of Daylan's view. –Erlangga?- Maura's inner then looked back at Daylan. Heart's steady. “Day, that's Erlangga, right?“ Daylan was silent. “Well, don't tell me that the girl next to him was her lover that she said back then! Wait, that girl... Daylan what if we go to them..?”.
“We're home!” cut Daylan into a ketus while stepping back. Maura didn't say much. He knew very well how their relationship was and Daylan's attitude was above all else.
“I know, Day.. but, at will..”.
“Sorry, Ra... I'm really not in the mood. Please don't force me. But, if you want to see him, I don't mind. My regards to him, sorry!” Daylan waved his left hand without turning his head and still continued walking. Maura simply exhaled a long breath without a word and stayed in place. Maura knew she was wrong. And now Daylan is unstable, so it's not good to bother him. Let Daylan get better![2] Thought.
Daylan continued walking without looking. His steps were very firm his heart rumbled. Feelings explode. He really hopes this isn't the reality. ‘Just dream, please!’ hopefully in steps.
Daylan stopped behind the door of her apartment. His back is leaning against the door. His body fell down. “No... impossible…! How can... how can this be reality..” Daylan said to himself. “How come, Erlangga... why must you be among seven billion people... Why must you be again?!”

The wind gently stroked Daniel and Akira who were walking side by side. It adds coolness and peace to the atmosphere that morning. Akira closed his eyes, enjoying the wind and the ringing lyrics from the earphones running through his ears.
“You really don't want me to bring you to your apartment doorstep?”
“Tak. Thank you so much for walking me here! Hhhh, you didn't even mention you had to go back to the park by walking to pick up your car earlier.”.
“I don't mind, though,.. I love walking with you..”.
“Hmm. Me either. But I don't want you to be too tired. So, after this immediately rest first!”
“Alright, you too!”
“Ya..”
“I'm home!” Daniel waved his hand. Akira returned the wave of his hand with a smile and a look of laughter.
“Tik..tik..tik...” Akira entered his apartment password quickly when his footsteps ended in the doorway. The door is unlocked. Akira's clumsy hand pushed him slowly. “I'm home..!” girang. A single happy smile was clearly engraved on his face. His sparkling eyes widened to find Daylan standing beside the front wall of the door while folding her hands on her chest without a sound but with a teary look looking at her deeply.
“You're home? Why so fast? You guys quarrel?” tanya Akira bombards while sneering. However, Daylan's response did not match his expectations. Daylan immediately turned to step into the living room.
“We have to talk.” Daylan said coldly without turning her head and continued to continue in her footsteps.
“Why are you being this weird? You said you wanted to see my girlfriend, right? Why don't I see you?” Daylan's not hounding. “Don't you have seen it without my knowledge? He's handsome and nice, right?”
Daylan's move stopped. His head twisted fast. His eyes were staring at Akira sharply. Heart's hot. Akira laughed at seeing it. “Why? You jealous?” chase Akira with his laughter. Daylan immediately shifted her eyes.
“Decide him!” daylan said that sounded more like a sigh to himself but looked resolute through the look of his face.
Akira's laughter turned into a question mark. He was confused, not understanding what was happening. But, his ears clearly heard Daylan say something. I think I heard wrong. Hope tipped to ask, “What?”
“I said disconnect him!” daylan's voice sounded louder and clearer.
Akira's eyes widened. “What did you say? No kidding! This is not funny at all!”
Daylan turned towards Akira and grabbed his shoulder with both hands while shaking it. “I'm serious, I'm not kidding. Listen, you have to decide!” Daylan let go of her hands. Akira sniffed in annoyance.
“Are you crazy?! How can I decide on someone like him? There's no reason for that for me.”
“You really want to know the reason?”
“Yes, give me a strong and logical reason to decide!” challenge Akira. Daylan raised her face looking at Akira. His hand moved touching Akira's cheek. Akira jerks. “Quick say and no need to beat around acting like this!”
“Hhh... acting, did you say? Do I look like I'm acting now?”
“You know, I deeply acknowledge your talent on that one. But please, don't play me like this!”
Daylan's eyes grew increasingly teary. he shifted his gaze. “It's a pity... when I do it because I'm afraid you'll get hurt if you hear and know.” Akira looked at Daylan not understand. But right now, he sees sincerity he said, Daylan is not lying…
“Sorry.. but, why do you think I would be sad to hear only excuses that I can't necessarily shout..” Akira's sentence is interrupted Daylan's speech.
“Hey Akira..
we're. It's also painful to just keep each other's feelings and lie when we have the same feelings. But, what is much more painful is that we know that we love each other and we have said it to each other, but no matter what, we cannot have it.” Daylan's tears trickled down.
