Tone & Sound

#10 Lily

Everything continues. They both came out of the flower shop and walked side by side on the sidewalk of the city. Talk again. This time about a lot of things. Bu Ni repeatedly asked about Nada. Why Nada can like Lily, or why Paris is the destination. Tone answered those questions quickly. Lily is beautiful and Paris is beautiful. Bu Ni laughed. He joked about Nada's answer which was like a five-year-old's answer if asked about where the rain came from. The answer is that rain falls from God. But even so Bu Ni still received Nada's answer. He said that all things do not always have to be answered. Or everyone must have their reasons. They laugh together. Chat continues. The change of tone asked Bu Ni. About why Bu Ni could be in Paris and of course about Lily. Why Lily, why not roses or other beautiful flowers. Bu Ni spontaneously laughed softly at those questions. He took a cigar and a match from his pocket, turned on the cigar and sucked it.

Paris was a little cooler that night. Although it was already in spring, but the sky looked cloudy that night. It looks like rain or drizzle will soon come down to greet the earth. Bu Ni looked at Nada and smiled as she blew the cigar smoke out of her mouth. He seemed ready to answer those questions. Ma'am started with the first question. "Paris is beautiful. Beautiful." He answered it very briefly. Mimicking the answer Tone earlier. They laughed together again. Before we finally get to the second question. But somehow suddenly Bu Ni's face changed. He repeatedly sucked his cigar. Bu Ni said, for the second question there is a little story why he finally liked even to fall in love with Lily. Tone turned his face for a while then looked back at Bu Ni's face seriously. This time the answer is not the same.

The drizzle starts to fall one-on-one touching the forehead. The fallen flowers that had been hovering refused to fall again. The wind stopped blowing. The night that puffed. As far as the eye can see, eiffel flickering is still the brightest. The sound of the car horn sounded a little boisterous from across the street. The shops began to close as the clock ticks even at the number ten. Bu Ni smiled at Nada. He sucked a cigar and blew smoke from his mouth for the umpteenth time. Ms. Ni said, the reason why she likes Lily is because Lily is her life-saver. Instantly Tone instantly scrunched his forehead. His face looked more serious.

But while trying to replay Bu Ni's explanation earlier, Nada was silent for a moment. Bu Ni's short story earlier made Nada remember her mother, Ms. Ann. Who also suffered from mental disorders or depression until now. Nada was speechless as she imagined her mother back then. But it did not last long after Bu Ni said that they had to separate at the intersection. Their destination is different. Tone nodded slowly. Bu Ni said, Nada must come to his cafe tomorrow. Yeah, especially if it's not Blanche. Which brought them closer after that. Bu Ni smiled and walked away. Even with Nada who continued to step even though at every step, he thought back about his mother.
