The Destined Seeker's

Chapter 13: Afternoon Chat

Luna remained silent. He just kept looking back, towards the bench. Or rather towards the grandfather. The grandfather was also silent and as before just stared at the streets blankly.

He seemed to be unaware that Luna had long been looking at him. As if oblivious to everyone's presence and immersed in his own thoughts.

Luna shuddered in horror. The distance between the bench that grandfather occupied and him was only about ten steps.

Luna still stared at him and the grandfather also remained silent for five minutes. But Luna remained strong. He will no longer turn his face away. The last time he lost his grandfather. Not anymore this time.

Even if he did not want to come, he would keep an eye on the grandfather.

Buk up!

Luna fell to the ground. At that time, the magazine fell. He opened his eyes that had been closed.

Luna panicked. Not because of a fall and pain, but remembering the last moment when he was watching someone and was hit so that he fell.

Could it be that woman again?

Luna's heart was racing. His chest is up and down. He did not dare to look back and see who hit him. It won't. Not want.

He closed his eyes again while maintaining his position in the face down. He didn't want to open his eyes. Dare not look at the woman who turned out to be a leader of robbers.

He doesn't care. He didn't care even when someone shook his body. He did not care when many people who formed a crowd surrounded him. He doesn't care when someone says “Nak, are you okay?”.

He won't open his eyes. Fear, anxiety, panic all mixed in and nothing made him think clearly. He just kept his eyes closed and clenched his hands tightly.

But he woke up and opened his eyes when someone shouted: “Nak! Why you?!” very hard in his ears.

He blinked. And he saw that the ordinary young man in front of him was shaking Luna's body.

Luna stood up. And people are gathered. Luna who knew nothing so looked at everyone in confusion.

“Nak, what's wrong with you? I accidentally bumped into you and you just kept lying there not getting up and keeping your eyes closed. You hurt or what?” the young man said with a more confused expression than Luna.

“A-me... I'm okay” Luna replied after a few minutes.

Some people then offered to drive her to the hospital but Luna refused. Then he was swept to the bench to sit down to calm down.

Slowly the crowd dispersed and one by one all left.

Luna rubbed her face. Slowly he began to understand what was happening after his mind returned.

Luna was grateful it wasn't the woman who hit her. Just an ordinary person. But actually his fault is also standing in the middle of the sidewalk that many people pass. Until he was hit by someone else.

Luna rubbed her face again.

“Fear keeps someone from thinking”

Luna's heart was gripping. A strange sound but made Luna stiff. It was cold when he heard that voice.

When he turned to the origin of the sound, he saw a 70-something-mouthed grandfather in ancient white and with hair that had been overgrown with gray so that his hair was white. His eyes were narrow and his skin was wrinkled. His body was rather large to be next to Luna where he sat . Staring at him with a straight look and a little intimidating.

“Ka-you!” Luna jumped out of her chair.

The grandfather raised next to his eyebrows.

“You! You're why-“

Luna wanted to continue but did not know what to say. He was also confused as to why he asked this grandfather.

Luna remained silent. How did grandfather know? He didn't even look at it as little as from the streets. Even Luna was sure that her eyes could not see Luna if she did not turn her head.

And even if he realized it when Luna fell, why could he conclude that Luna fell because she kept seeing him from a distance.

“How-“

“Easy. No need to explain. Sit again” the grandfather patted the bench slowly.

I don't know why Luna just complies. He sat down slowly without taking his eyes off the old man.

“What's up?” it seems like the grandfather realized that he was being watched.

“Sorry. I didn't mean to look at you like-“

“Bukan” Grandpa interrupts.

“Not?” Luna repeated.

“Not that. What was? What did it take until yesterday and now you keep watching me”

Luna was silent again. It turned out to be a false allegation. He's increasingly astonished. The grandfather, both yesterday and yesterday, never once looked in any direction. And back to that question. How could he know?

“I told you it was easy. Easy so it doesn't need to be explained. But I want to know why” the grandfather said again before Luna could ask anything. It was as if Grandpa could tell what his thoughts were.

“I... I keep watching you because.. because you're so different and..Over foreign” Luna says quietly because between being nervous or being careful.

“Everyone would be so. But if in this city, you're the only one like that”

This time it was Luna who raised an eyebrow.

“People in this city. Busy at their jobs. Just go, go home and go again then go home again. Too busy that there seems to be no time to notice me. There may be times when he looks and is astonished. But I don't think I have much time to keep an eye on them until they fall because they're hit. Moreover..twice” grandfather's eyes sharpened but did not look terrible.

Luna thought. Worrying.

“Actually.. since meeting I've felt something. The very other. Suspicious in my opinion. But until now it seems like I still found nothing from you”

“Human feelings are sometimes true. It was also because he had an instinct in identifying dangers. But never did the man think” The words made Luna tilt her head.

“A long time ago. My bus is coming now”

And it's true. A bus comes from the end of the road and stops right at the bus stop.

The grandfather stood up but Luna held him back.

“Wait! I-I still have a lot of questions. If you can when can we meet? Again?” Luna hurriedly added.

“Everytime you can come here” he replied. “Don't focus too much on something. Look around you for a moment too. Sometimes waiting can please” after saying those words, the grandfather went and got on the bus. The bus door closed and took him away from there.

Luna looked at the bus from a distance. Then said “alah” to himself. And back to walking
