Tone & Sound
#42 [Bab. a pair of orange shells]
[Recommendations Backsound fitting when reading this : Billie Holiday - Blue Moon]
Nada smiled happily at Alya. Trying spy. If only all the living humans like Alya, might be lost, weeping, and all sorts of bad things would not need to exist in the world.
But, it is also wrong to eliminate all those things. Because in many opportunities that are present, some of them are what make humans learn many things.
Or maybe just like this. Let all those painful things exist in the world, but never remove a small speck of hope and sincerity from one's smile. Like the little fairy's smile.
"I also have a gift for Brother Bunyi with Sister Nada. Just jerk." Alya put the cactus on top of the small cupboard that was beside her bed. Then take something from inside the small drawer of the closet.
Tone and Sound look at each other.
Alya held something in her hand.
"Before Mr. Bear existed, they were the two who always wanted me, brother" said Alya.
"This is Jimbo and Lala" he added.
Alya showed what she was holding to Tone and Sound. That, a pair of clams. It's orange. Real pretty.
"Jimbo to Kak Bunyi, and Lala to Kak Nada. Here's..."
Alya gave the pair of shells to Tone and Sound. They also accept it. Each got one.
"From the beginning, Jimbo and Lala never separated. Always together. And hopefully Kak Bunyi the same Kak Nada is also like that, yes." said Alya innocently. Smile widely.
The tone that heard that was shocked. The other one even looks smiling.
Maybe it was a wish or a wish. And, what's wrong with guaranteeing hope? Moreover, that hope came from a heart that was still clean. It may also be a good prayer. So, there's no harm. Smiling tone.
"Sir Sound," call Alya.
Seems.
Alya then stood up from the bed, drew closer to Beep, then seemed to whisper something into Sound's ear.
Tone wonder. Stopped smile. Watching the Sound and Alya.
Tone is really confused. What are they gonna do? And what did Alya say to Sound? Iganla. Nada looked towards Alya. The little elf held an item in her hand. And it's like we're fiddling with that stuff.
Isn't that a Walkman? Nada turned to look at the Sound that had since whispered something by Alya, the look in the eyes of the Sound steadily stared at Nada.
Then the song sounded. Alya pressed the play button on the Walkman. Jazz. It's a Jazz song. Tone know this song. He stared at the sound.
What does he want? say Tone in the heart.
The sound of tidying up the collar of the shirt, tidying up the hair as well, then smiling flirtatiously at Tone. And at the time of entering the initial part of the song lyrics, Sound began to dance.
Tone is very confused. He was surprised to see Sound suddenly dancing. His body movements are in accordance with the tempo of the song. Two steps forward, and two steps backward with both hands in the pants pocket. Then move your shoulders and shake your head and step around the tone.
Really am. Confused but also anxious. Gosh darn. A confused feeling.
Nada glanced at Alya for a moment. The one glimpsed looked cheering and patting her hands. So gleeful.
So, the whisper turned out to culminate in a strange dance that now Sound was doing. Tone turned his face away from Alya, then came back to notice the Sound. But, as he looked back, suddenly Sound withdrew his hand. I asked her to dance together.
The tone that was at first confused and clueless, now had no choice but to follow the motion of the Sound body and enjoy the humming song. He danced. Happy face.
Hospital room number ten became crowded. It's exquisite. It is full of happiness in it. No word of pain and gloom. Maybe very much different from the other rooms that Nada saw or other rooms in the world.
For a long time Nada had not felt this kind of happiness. Especially before always tied to past memories that make Nada rarely even maybe never happy stuff for a moment.
And after the Sound was present in his life, Nada began to feel things that had been long gone. Which he had long sought. A sincere happiness.
Just a minute indeed. But from Sound, Nada has learned many things. Such as concern for others and how to cope with pain. Sounds are unpredictable. He has his own way of introducing the world.
And for the feeling that Tone feels after knowing Sound, Tone very clearly feels it. The feeling that gets stronger the longer. Grows. The feeling he still has.
But will the feeling continue to be in the heart without ever speaking from the mouth? If so, but why? The answer is not easy. It might be answered with an equally difficult question.
Nan, do you feel the same feeling as well?
