"You want to go to Holland? " ask Azura.
"Yes.. I want to continue S2, "I replied.
"We're alike! " said Azura enthusiastically until some people turned their heads towards us.
He was embarrassed to hide his face behind his jacket. I just smiled to see it.
"You want to go to college too? " let me whisper a little.
He looked up at my face and nodded his head. He began to justify his sitting position.
"I just broke up. So, yes continue to college rather than dizzy. It turned out that my love story was the same as the book I wrote and the ending was the same, " Azura said sighing.
"What's the title of your book? " take a ask to him. Who knows, I've read his work.
"Two never become one, "Azura replied.
Deggs. His words immediately surprised me. A book I read a while ago. I grabbed the bag and I took out the book.
"It's not? " take a ask to him.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up to see the book in my hands.
"You really read my work? " ask Azura.
I nodded my head too. He seemed to be deftly taking the book in my hand out a pen and signing my book.
"Now is a complete package like a chicken with iced tea, "he said to return the book to me.
I laughed a little. He looked surprised to hear my laughter.
"Laugh because your laughter is sweet to hear, "he said with a smile.
I'm speechless. He seemed to know my feelings were in turmoil. He's sensitive to someone's feelings, but I shouldn't take him too much. Each of us is silent.
I saw a little note of the poem I wrote. Titled 'Senja never denied'. I'll read it if you'd like to listen.
"Sitting on the edge looking sideways at the sky. Bright without clouds covering. Like dawn, dusk will go away but he never refuses to come again"
I waited a few hours until I fell asleep. I'm tired, not physically. Before I go to sleep, I pray to God that my heart will be soothed. Suddenly I woke up but my shoulders were heavy, I turned to look at Azura who was asleep on my shoulders. My hand held out the hair that covered his face.
I looked at him closely. Sayu. He's a real duplicate of Dew. Did God send it for me as a substitute?
"Zura!. " call me shrewd.
He woke up and paused for a while before he looked at me. The voice of the flight attendant resuscitated him. The plane will land in the airport. Everybody's prepared.
"I go first! " he said, waving his hand at me.
I also returned it with a smile. The black car came up to me, he was the car I had ordered. I went into it. I got there at night. I look at the streets. My heart feels lonely at night and I hate it all. It was as if my defenses were collapsing when night came.
"Come on!" my words strengthen themselves.
The car stopped in front of the building. I got off the car. Suitcase I'm taking into the building. My brother has prepared this apartment and he will pay for it all until I graduate. I am truly a burden to the family.
I went inside the bath apartment and immediately threw myself aside not caring about my messy suitcase. I wanted to close my eyes again but my intention was to undo it when my stomach rang. I walked towards the water cooking kitchen and as usual, noodles were the best. I feel that the apartment I occupy is like a house with complete facilities.
I sat at the table, turned on the phone looking for a spectacle. If I don't do it then I'm not sure I can finish my food. I saw the clock on my phone in the early hours of the morning. I grabbed my phone when there was a notification from an unknown number.
I open. He sent me a happy birthday message and a sticker that read 'happy birthday'. I was surprised and saw the calendar. It turns out that today is the day I was born in this world that these beautiful people say.
"Sorry who is this? " tanyaku.
"I'm Zura!" he answered while giving a laugh reaction emote.
I smiled and then replied.
"Kok just 'oh' anyway. It's not exciting. Didn't you ask me where I got your number? " ask Zura.
"No. Because it's none of my business, "get me back.
There was no reply from him just the blue tick I saw below. He sent me another message.
"Keep in the mood!"
"Happy birthdays! "
"May God bless your journey here! "
Unknowingly my smile was perfect. I typed quickly.
"Thank you. " said I.
I put my phone back on the table. I paused for a moment and thought about why I was smiling unconsciously. Am I in love again? Seems not. Isn't my reply too short? But I don't know him very far, so it's okay?
"I'm a birthday? " my words laughed.
If other people are happy, then I'm the opposite. Increasing age makes a burden for me and the harsh reality is, the people I just knew congratulated me
If other people are happy, then I'm the opposite. The increasing age made a burden on me and the harsh reality was, the person I just knew congratulated me for the first time. Where's my brothers? My mammy? He was happy with his new family.
Notif from Rizki appeared on the mobile screen. He congratulated me. It's not that I'm a crazy person for speech, but I just want others to not remind me that I'm a birthday because my presence in this world is not expected by them.
I went out, looking for a store that was still open. Whether because I was crazy or something, I walked down the streets of the city. The rows of shops have all been closed until the remaining one store that still turns on the lights. I opened the door to be greeted by his servant. I don't really understand, but he seems to know my mind shows a window where birthday cakes are neatly lined up. He kindly gave me an explanation even though I didn't understand their native language. I chose a small cake and only one fruit. I asked for candles with numbers 2 and 0. I paid for it and left the store.
I sat under the garden light not far from the shop. I took out a cake and put a candle on it. I lit it using the candle's higga match. Right today I'm 20 years old. Where a person begins to determine the direction of his life goals. I closed my eyes praying sincerely in my heart.
"Yes God. If my love fails, please launch my career, heal the wounds that are in my heart because I believe You heard my prayer" I said in my heart and then I reopened my eyes. I blew the candle out. I turned to accidentally see someone who was vaguely celebrating his own birthday just like me.
I approached him. I saw clearly that guy! He is Azura. He blew out the candles. Turns out he's 19 today.
"Happy birthdays! " my words surprised him. His expression was funny very naturally.
Eventually he and I exchanged cookies. I see she likes sweet things. He looked at me while smiling.
"We're both lonely, Dad! " said Azura.
My forehead is cringing, wasn't he picked up by his family at the airport?
"Well, maybe, "my reply was short.
He and I looked at the blue night sky that was somehow bright until the stars shone.
"Do you believe in destiny? " ask Azura.
"Of course believe. Why why anyway? " let me go back to him.
"I'm looking for my brother. My late mother said he was smart, sweet and handsome. I tried to look for him everywhere until I was tired, "Azura replied.
"Candid? " Take a ask to him.
She shook her head. "No. My half-brother is a boy, "Azura replied.
"Do you like it when you say happy birthday? " tanyaku.
He nodded his head. "I hope that the big brother I'm looking for says me, "Azura replied.
I looked into his face. I looked at her beautiful pair of eyes.
"I'll say it. Happy birthday is beautiful." I said with a smile.
