Tone & Sound
#02 azaleas
"Surprisee..."
The simultaneous screams sounded very suddenly. Shocking Nada, then stopped her footsteps.
"Naira, Jeje, Una!" Tone said wonder. Bummer.
It turned out that the screaming sounds came from Naira, Jeje, and Una. They are his friends Nada. I don't know what wind brought them to this Paris building. Maybe the birthday cake held by Una, and the two packages of gifts from Naira and Jeje, can explain everything.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Accompanied by the applause and the sound of the three, the song of congratulations at least sounded very beautiful. Moreover, Jeje's voice that sounded like an RNB singer, and also Naira's body movements that depict an Opera singer, quite make the atmosphere more festive. Tone down in wonder. Gosh darn. He even forgot that today was his birthday.
"Make a wish." said the birthday cake holder whose hair was cut in two, Una.
With a full face, closing his eyes for a moment and blowing a burning fire, Nada hugged his three friends and dissolved in happiness. "Thank you, yeah..."
Twenty-five years. A graceful looking figure stands on a birthday cake with a picture of the Alps, as well as a decoration of the image of the Aurora of the eastern hemisphere. Haru's smiling tone. He also wiped the tip of his eyes several times.
"Uhh, don't cry..."
"Yes, you know we're not strong to see you cry, Nad."
"Yes, Nad. Yes, yes..."
His three friends took turns. Tone looked a little sobbing in the embrace. Once again he wiped away the unshakably falling tears, involving the peak of his most beautiful smile, Nada and his three companions took off their hugs.
"This is Jeje's idea!" naira said suddenly after the hug had finished, after Nada looked at them one-on-one suspiciously.
Nada stopped her stolen gaze on her three best friends, "You want anyone's idea, I'm lashing out..."
"Well, how come it's crashing?" Una asked confusedly.
"Yes, you don't know me at all if I want to come here." Tone trying to protest. Naira and Una looked at each other.
"If we tell you we're going here, it's no surprise that his name is Nad." said Jeje.
"You are." Naira agrees.
"Udah, shhhhhhh..." Una looked at Nada, "Nad, this isn't all our idea."
"Whose idea?"
"The idea, Mas.." said someone. Slow footsteps came. The eyes of Nada then lead to that person. Tone was silent for a moment. Trying to recognize the shape of the face of the person who was now stepping towards him. And a split second after that, Nada was shocked.
"Coal!!" Tone knows that face. He ran and hugged her. Hugging people he knows very well.
Him, Bara. Nada's siblings.
"Happy birthday for you, mother of bunny kids." Bara hugged Tone tightly. Smiling while closing his eyes.
The powerless tone held back the cries. Her tears came out again. Tone smiling cheerfully in Bara's embrace. After three years of not meeting and now suddenly Bara comes to Paris on her birthday, Nada is very happy.
The one who convinced Nada that every human being must choose their own path of destiny. Not about the straight or the many turns. But a road filled with twigs, pebbles, or a person's body. Nada also remembered Bara once said, life must sacrifice something even sometimes yourself.
