The Red Game's
[S2] Chapter 5 Part 1
I lay on the bed after dinner with Dom and Vany. This room is so dark because the lights have been turned off. Every now and then I sigh, my mind drifts through strategy and my choice this time is right.
It is true that I have promised someone before, but that promise can be cherished at any time. However, there is a strange feeling that always haunts me to get it over with immediately. Although the atmosphere was very calm, the contents of my head could not calm down even a little. To bother, wanting me to curse at someone and dump all this resentment on him. But that's not a good choice.
I stared at my outstretched left hand like I was about to reach the ceiling of a room. For a moment in my mind, if only I had one hand. A few moments later, I lowered my hand back while sighing. I hope there's still a group that wants to make an alliance with me. Then, my eyes closed too.

The sun was already radiating behind the white curtains that closed the window of this room when I opened my eyes. Soon I woke up and opened the curtains so I could see the scenery out there. Pretty good, from here my eyes can see the beautiful garden that surrounds the villa where I am now.
“Alright, maybe I need to calm my mind first before finally returning to action. I am very sure that this plan will be more time and energy drain.”
I casually went out to the swimming pool. The temperature is not too cold now, because the sun has risen. I stared at the calm swimming pool. There's no idea in my head right now. Naturally, because there was no longer a group by my side.
I turned my head to look at the blue sky. I just flinch at the edge of the pool while doing it. If there were a miracle, maybe things wouldn't be like this.
Tired of not being able to think of anything, I decided to take a walk to this Rose city. Unbeknownst to Vany and Dom, I now single-handedly walk down the sidewalk looking around. Yeah, if they're looking for me later, at least the guards know I'm leaving.
Unknowingly, I had arrived in front of a small alley. I stopped the step then glanced towards the inside of the alley. It looked so empty, no one crossed. “Connecting along the road is solid, maybe I should try to pass through this alley alone. Who knows I can find something fantastic at the end there.”
I also started to step into the alley. Walking around in silence, I finally reached the end of the alley. When I got out of there, my eyes were immediately presented with a view of the dense city. “Sial, it's much more crowded than there was.” With a heavy heart I breathe. “But, never mind, I'd better find a place to eat a little quieter.”
My breath was so breathless when I finished passing through the crowded people passing by. But luckily, thanks to that, I found a simple place to eat near an alley. Without wanting to linger, I went straight in there and ordered some food.
After eating, I continued on my way back. Because it took too long to relax while eating earlier, without me realizing the sun was getting higher. “Hm, what am I going to do now? It seems now much more leisurely than before.” Considering the circumstances, I decided to wander around aimlessly to take a look at what was different in this Rose city.
In that aimless journey, I found many new places, such as a vast garden, a monument with a water fountain, and so on. Suddenly, an explosion erupted. I also looked at the source of the explosion.
Far away there, a mass of smoke came out of a tall building. Then, someone came out of there, followed by the others. “What is robbery? Ah, never mind, it has nothing to do with me.” Ignoring all that, I looked for a garden and sat down on that park bench.
The wind blew, sending cold temperatures all over my body. It feels so good to stop for a moment to throw away all the burdens of the mind. Is this what it feels like to enjoy an old age after retiring from a job? I don't know why I feel like I'm getting old.
