The Sun Becomes a Star

Discussions

After school I went straight to Kevin's office that afternoon. In my heart I was determined to talk about Aaron with Kevin's brother.

“Sister Kevin, can May talk for a minute?” Kevin looked at me with an unusual face.

“Yah May. But just wait a minute well, about ten minutes. I have to call someone.” He walked into his office.

While waiting I put some documents that had to be destroyed into the shredder. When I did, a strange feeling arose within me. The paper that was originally smooth and straight was then crushed into a kind of noodles, straight and long. I imagined that every problem of my life, the hassle with aunt Nina and Aaron could be easily lost as easily as I smashed paper with this shredder.

After finishing, I then tidied up some archives that I just copied and cleaned the table from – pieces of paper. I have to make sure everything is clean because I want to keep working here. Beautiful opportunities will not come twice and I have to show the best work, although a bit of nepotism also I work in my girlfriend's office.

It was fun working in Kevin's office. This office is not so big. Located on the third floor of a five-story building. I can get up and down from the basement to the top floor in a few minutes with the help of the elevator. Unless I want to slim down with exercise up and down through emergency stairs.

My job is simple. I just need to photocopy some files every day. Separating files – files in each different file category and sometimes – sometimes also I can help translate some English documents that I really like. For me this is a valuable experience and I don't want to be branded working here just because I'm the girlfriend of the company's owner's sister.

The pay ? Not bad, I was not confused anymore where I should get money to buy credit. My savings also increased drastically because despite working, Papa did not reduce my allowance. Maybe I can start saving up to buy a motorbike.

“May, to kamtor well,” Brother Kevin spoke via intercom.

I walked in, sitting in a comfortable chair that made me drown in it, similar to the chair in Kevin's house. This sofa is usually used by Kevin if there are guests who meet with him.

“What May,” sound Brother Kevin still comfortable in the ear, just like the first time I received the phone first.

“I want to talk about Aaron,” his face instantly changed.

“What's with Aaron ?”

“I'm sorry to talk like this, brother. I know that Kevin's brother is his brother. In a lot of ways my sister knows him better than I do. I don't feel good talking about this same Brother ..” I'm confused choosing the right word.

“Tell me May, don't worry ..”

“I mean ... all this time what you think there's something strange in Aaron ..”

“You mean ...?”

“Do you not notice the dark circles in his eyes, he who is often nauseous and has a lot of extra energy to move as if – will at all he never tired ..”

Kevin took a slow, deep breath.

“Security I don't really want to talk about this with you May. Remind me how I am adding to your already heavy burden. I still feel guilty for you,”

“Because of that Brother accept I work here instead of ?”

“I'm his girlfriend,”

“He talked to me. And I am so grateful that you are beside him. But on May's side, if I can be honest, I feel even more guilty. My guilt is growing. Because of me, you know Aaron. Aaron likes you and you're now together. With your burden now you still have to think about Aaron. Do you feel it ?”

I'm nodding. I knew the consequences and now I feel no remorse. Maybe it feels like doing something for a loved one. Will not regret, but will even feel happy even though you sacrifice a lot.

“I know what happened with Aaron,” Brother Kevin said weakly. It just so happened that it was time to go home. Outside the room Kevin looks everyone is ready – ready to go home. Soon the office will be quiet.

“And Sister doesn't do what – what ?” I asked him a little angry. How could he know but do nothing?

“I do a lot of things. But always fail.”

“Why ?”

“May .. Aaron could have gotten out of all this if only he had the motivation to recover. But all this time May, even I couldn't give her motivation. He is not willing to fight for me at all. He does not want to fight for his future. Without a strong will from him, I think it will be in vain – everything I do. She'll be back again so she wants ..”

“Then ?” I asked like a fool.

“You are not her first boyfriend May,” wow ... That's new to me,” But as far as I can see, you are different from her boyfriend's – boyfriend first. Even if I could say, you're not the kind of girl he likes ..”

“Commands brother ?” I feel bad. How could Aaron like me if I wasn't his typist.

“Maybe this is the May called true love – true love. She used to love feminine girls,” I saw – see me again. I do not have a feminism piece even though I wear a skirt, “manja and like to be ushered to where – where,” if this is not me.

He continued again,”Throughout the times he dated such – girls before our parents died. After they died, it felt like Aaron lost his passion for life. That's when he started taking it from some of his friends. Even the – girls back then couldn't help me to push Aaron away from it. Until then there is you. You managed to pull May's heart out. You gave him a passion for life. Help me so that everything can end well ..”

And at this point I was worried. I love Aaron so much. But on the other hand, it feels like there is a burden that I have to bear to ‘cure’ him. What kind of super power do I have until I have a big responsibility to make Aaron better?

I love Aaron, my first girlfriend. But again, I'm worried. In times of anxiety like this, I need someone to confide in, someone who can understand me completely.
