The Enchantment of the Former

Not Under Plan

A week, there was time left before Fattan left for duty out of town. The time used by Fattan and Shazna to re-knit the love rope that had been cut off.

Almost every day they meet, just for lunch together or just go to a place they used to spend time together.

Like that day, when Fattan invited Shazna to come to a playground. He used to go there often to spend time alone, or once occasionally during empty hours to skip school.

The beautiful stories of those who have been buried with a time called the past . And now both of them are digging at that time, to remind the heart that there was once a beautiful story that may now be buried in a memory.

Fattan got out of the car, opened the door for the woman. When he got down from the car, the two pairs of eyeballs were fixed at the same place. The amusement park in front of him, a smile was drawn on the lips of the man who this time appeared kece with a black and white plaid flannel t-shirt without being pocketed, a plain black t-shirt seen as an interior. Dark blue jeans in the style of his young son with a tear in the knee. White sneaker shoes support the appearance of men who now style their hair in a disheveled style. Do not think it will reduce the good looks of a Fattan, because in fact it increases the charm of the man.

Even Shazna several times stole the gaze of the man beside her, as it reminded her of her Fattan a few years ago. Shazna was also relaxed that day with a short knit top in light brown in black long jeans and flatshoes in the same color with his pants. Her hair was tied to a ponytail with a thin makeup polish adorning a beautiful face that exuded a radiant aura on her face. At least that's what Fattan Ghifari saw.

'' It turns out that a lot has changed, said Fattan who was still leaning on the body of the car with a gaze fixed on the playground in front of him. Shazna pulled the corner of her lips, the woman who stood while holding her back was also still staring at the same object.

'' It has been decades, it should have changed. It is impossible to increase time and technology but there is no change, Shazna said. Fattan smiled as she looked towards the woman who was looking straight ahead.

'' Maybe only my heart will not change. Choosing to hang on to the same love, no matter how much time has passed, said Fattan, Shazna turned her head, smiled blandly and then sighed deeply.

'' Because you who do not allow your heart to come out of the shell named memories, '' said Shazna, the two looked at each other. Fattan was still with a gentle smile, while Shazna was with a sharp look.

'' Because it was my heart that chose to stay inside there, replied the man in a soft tone. Shazna decided their eyes. There was a tremor that made him feel awkward looking at the man's face.

'' It's up to you, ''' that's all Shazna's lips said before he walked away from Fattan. Fattan followed Shazna's steps with a smile that did not fade from the man's lips. Upon arriving beside Shazna, Fattan grabbed the woman's palm, carrying her in her grasp. Shazna was stunned for a moment but a second later he tried to be ordinary.

Hand in hand like ABG kasmaran, a pair of human children entered the playground area.

'' Roller coaster, '' Shazna replied as she turned towards Fattan, with a defiant smile drawn on her face. The woman still remembers how loud Fattan screams when she was invited to ride the vehicle.

And now Fattan can only rotate the eyeballs, while sighing, resigned.

'' Okay, come on, '' answered Fattan although honestly he is still not ready, especially with technological advances that are definitely a roller coaster that is now much different from the one he had climbed before.

Fattan bought a ticket to the roller coaster ride, Shazna waited with a view around the park area that was quite crowded that afternoon. Many come with a partner, friend or family. And the image of happiness was clearly visible on the faces of the sumringah.

Shazna's brain seemed to dig the story of the past, where he had carved many stories there.

'' Yuk!," Fattan's voice resuscitated Shazna from the daydream, the woman turned her head to the origin of the voice. Fattan smiled as she showed two tickets for a roller coaster ride. Shazna nodded and preceded Fattan's move.

Starting from the roller coaster rides, the two began the adventure of the day. Nostalgic about their past stories, and now again make a story that draws the hearts of the two closer.

It was already evening when the two of them came out of the playground. Their faces depicted a sense of happiness emanating from the glare of the eyes of the two. Light steps with hands interlock as their parallel steps leave where they spend the day.

But Fattan's countenance changed when they got into the car. After the man opened the message on his phone. Both had been sitting in their seats, but Fattan had not yet started the engine. The man took many long breaths.

'' Why can't Shazna not bear to ask. Fattan dropped her back to lean back, her eyes looking straight ahead. Look at the day that began to be covered in darkness.

'' My departure is accelerated tomorrow morning, '' said Fattan, the man just got word from the hospital that his departure was accelerated, tomorrow morning .

Shazna bit her own lips, the woman's eyes glazed over. It felt like something was stuck in his heart as the departure of the man beside him accelerated abruptly.
