The Night After You

The Night After You
CH - 1: Sambiru Island



The man galloped to the end of the building, shouting loudly, in the darkness of the night and among the passers-by.


"Why should I.. why should the wound come, why not with you...." yell from the end of the building


He was so hysterical and lost his way, his mind was out of his mind and looking down.


He saw the streets crowded, people passing by without caring about other humans, he was so lonely even though he was looking at the crowd, on top of the 10th floor building, he was so lonely, he started thinking empty and was about to fall.


"Do I have to finish this time?" questions in his heart


Just now he was about to drop his body into the streets filled with sickly, female screams came out from behind him.


"Sanda, what are you doing, are you forgetting me? How could you think of ending your life Sanda, there I am here, always waiting for you from a distance. Can't you realize Sanda," cried the woman to the man who nearly killed himself, The man named Sanda


Sanda looked back, and looked at the woman's face with sadness.


"I'm sorry, Farisa, I'm sorry" Sanda said as she threw herself into the street


*Active returned 2 years ago*


A man who seemed to have no advantage in his life, who was now sitting in front of the window of his room on the 2nd floor, holding a small notebook.


He was staring at the birds chirping and passing in front of him. He seemed to think a lot, to the point that his mother called even he was unconscious.


"Sanda..... Sandaaa, eat Sandaa.." said Sanda's mother.


Sanda's mother, who kept calling Sanda more than 3 times, started trying to climb up to Sanda's room on the 2nd floor to call her.


"Aih, what is this Son, called his own Mother there is no response at all," muttered Mother Sanda from within


Walking Sanda's mother to the front of Sanda's room, she began to knock on Sanda's room door.


*TokTokTok* knocking sound


"Sanda, you say what, I call you but you don't respond" said Ms. Sanda


Sanda who heard her mother's voice, immediately realized from the daydreams that she had just daydreamed.


"Eh, Mother," said Sanda's heart


"Yes, Mom, why?" ask Sanda to her mother


"Mother just finished cooking food for you, do not forget to eat, Mother has prepared at the dining table," said Ibu Sanda


"Good, Mom. Sanda will be down soon" said Sanda to her mother


Sanda's mother went downstairs while leaving Sanda who was still in her room.


He looked back at the passing birds with his own chirp.


"How can these birds always be happy, rejoicing to and fro, when he does not know how far he will go to travel, no matter how high he flies with his wings, whether he will get food or not" said the inner Sanda


"But, at least if the bird alone whose life is uncertain, can be happy with the activities he does, even more than just undergoing his duties but also loves and celebrates what happened, he said, the time of a human like me always complains with the situation," said the inner Sanda again


This time, he immediately went downstairs, by putting the small notebook he had just held on his study table.


The little notebook contained poems and rhymes from a Sanda.


Sanda is a student, who is currently in the 3rd grade. And he was busy preparing himself for the final semester exam.


His full name is Sanda Sambiru, he comes from a family that was quite difficult when he was a child, but now his family is quite prosperous. He was the first of 3 children, he had a Sister and a Brother. Her first sister was a Woman named Salisa Alaska, and her youngest sister was a Man named Sky Universe.


Sanda is a person who cannot be defined, because sometimes he can like the crowd or even sometimes he can just stay away from the crowd. Or maybe he loved solitude, but he could also hate solitude. Or maybe he can like and hate the situation from the same time.


It is too difficult to define in detail.


*You are now at the dinner table*


Sanda who is now sitting alone quietly, while eating the dishes that have been cooked by his mother. In fact, he suddenly immediately thought of a woman he had just met in his school library a few days ago.


The woman who was sweet and beautiful to him, at that time the woman was looking for a book about rhyme, and happened to be there Sanda, was looking for a math book.


Sanda who was from childhood liked to read any book, began to divert his gaze to the Woman, he said, while for himself looking for a math book that he should be looking for because there are tasks that he must complete, he put aside for a while.


"Excuse me" said Sanda as she approached the sweet and beautiful woman


The woman looked at Sanda and smiled.


"Yes" said the woman


"I saw that you were looking for a book, but I noticed that there was no book you took, if you may know, what book you were looking for?" ask Sanda to her


"The book is about rhyme, I want to read it" she told Sanda


"Oh, what is this?" said Sanda took her own book from inside her bag


The woman smiled at the book that Sanda put out, because for her it was clear, she was looking for a printed book about rhymes, not looking for a written book.


"No" the woman told Sanda


"Aren't you looking for a rhyme book?" ask Sanda


"Yes" said the woman, still searching


"This is a rhyme book, although not a writer or a great poet who wrote it, but this has become a collection of poems from me" Sanda told the Woman


"If you want, I can borrow this book for you" Sanda told the woman


"No need" the woman told Sanda


Sanda locked his bag again, and his book, he put it right on the shelf next to the woman.


"If you want to read the rhyme, you can take it here, if you don't want to, just leave it, it's okay" said Sanda then left beside the woman


Sanda went back to looking for a math book he had to find.
