The Sun is sinking
Chapter 18_The Heart Rate That Feels Different
***@***
My mind went out of focus, I kept thinking about Aaron, my mind couldn't get away from him. I'm afraid she's okay. I don't know what's going on with me, I feel so scared. I tried to close my eyes and hugged the bolster but even the shadow of Aaron who fainted in the rain that night, I immediately re-opened my eyes, stood up and opened the window of the room. The gentle night wind immediately greeted me, stroking my hair.
Why am I like this, why am I so worried about him, I have never felt this before. A feeling that scares me to lose.
I wrote the clock hanging on the wall of my room, at 21:54 without a second thought I immediately grabbed my sweater, I wanted to meet him.
"Tante.. I'm out for a minute" I shouted while wearing sandals.
"Be careful dear," replied Auntie shouted.

I've reached Cafe20, sitting among the visitors.
"Happy Star..," said Erfan after putting my drink.
"Thank you Erfan" I replied.
Aaron.. I saw him singing, I waved my hand to tell him where I was, he threw a smile at me and replied to my wave.
Aaron... I feel so relieved and happy to see it now, his voice is so melodious even now it is like entering my heart, soothing my soul, what is this? Something beautiful yet unfeelable. I don't know how many times this heart beat when it was with Alan but it felt a lot different when I saw Aaron now.
"Hi..," she approached me and sat down in front of me after finishing the song.
"Are you okay?" ask directly. He frowned.
"Hhhh? strange question. When am I not okay?" the answer. Ah never mind, I was expecting it, she definitely won't answer seriously, forget it, I won't ask her again.
"Emm Ron.." I stirred up my drink, I'm becoming very unfocused right now. Aaron's near me, my heart's getting so bad.
"Emm what?" said it. Hearing her voice why it now makes me so vibrate, this heart.
"Ron, I'm sorry" I said, still stirring my drink, not daring to look at him. Placard... Aaron snapped my head "Aww..," I shrieked softly as I stroked my head.
"What makes you apologize to me?"
"I." my God.
"When do you want to stir your drink?" aaron's hand held my hand, stopping me from continuing to stir the drink. I myself also do not know why I was so groggy, what else plus the hand of Aaron who now holds my hand.
"Ron. that day I didn't mean to talk to you like that" I said.
"What??"
"What?"
"I didn't mean...,"
"I can't hear your words clearly, because you keep hiding your face," he cut, his hand still holding mine. I took a deep breath and slowly raised my face. His smile immediately greeted me, our eyes met immediately. I don't know how many times these eyes didn't blink when they were with Alan but this view was so much more beautiful, looking at the sparkling Aaron. Me why??
"Ron..," Call me, now even just saying her name feels so beautiful in my lips.
"Hmm" he answered very briefly.
"That day I didn't mean to talk to you like that" I said. She smiles.
"I know, I said the same thing to you, I'm sorry."
"Why are you the one who's apologizing??"
"Because I was the first to say I didn't know you."
"That means we're the same yeah...,'
"Hmm empty, empty" he said, pulling his hand. "I hope we don't talk about stupid things anymore" he continued, nodding.
"All right.." I replied. "Oh yes.I have something for you," I immediately opened the bag and took out the gift I used to want to give her "This..."
"Waww... What is this??" his comment after receiving my card "Then I no longer have birthdays"
"Heheee, actually the gift I wanted to give you on 14 February yesterday" I explained, nodding.
"I opened it..." He said then he opened the gift that was in his hand "Waww hat... Thank you Cinderella" he said
"When I was at the school, I saw you wearing a hat and it was really cool" I said explaining why I gave her a hat.
"Oh yes." he said and immediately put on the hat I gave him.
"How now??" he said, I clapped.
"Kereeen.
"Likes??" ask her and bring her face closer "You made me misunderstand you"
"No, that's not what I meant" I immediately shook my head.
