Tone & Sound

#80 [Bab. first sunset for us]

Tone is just glued. Look at that face. Look at that smile. This isn't a dream. He is indeed Sound. Butwhy? Why just show up now? Why, Nan. Why did you disappear yesterday? All those questions swirled in Nada's mind. But he could not ask. The sound pulled his hand. They are in the middle of the crowd now.

Breathe in, smile. The sound closed his eyes for a moment, then looked at Nada. Real close. But the one being stared at is still pensive. Between conscious or unconscious. Annoyed or maybe very happy. But with the presence of Sound now in front of him, like a dream, this time the dream is a beautiful dream. Because of all that longing, his feelings now he wanted to hug Sound tightly. Seize. Don't go again.

Laughing quietly. He knows what Nada is thinking. The sound knows what the tone is feeling. Look at those eyes, explain everything. The questions and everything about them are in it.

Sound nodded. Instantly his hand pulled the body of Tone. They hugged. The Sound Hand embraces the waist of Tone. Perfect touch. Tone closed the eyes. His hands were coiled around the neck of Sound. Each one a left-right movement, flowing as the strains of Jazz music become more sensitive. Walk round the sky. The second song. Ballad Jazz.

This afternoon Banda Neira became a witness. Everything seems clearer. That feeling, somehow, can come, stay, then grow bigger and bigger with a very short time. But isn't it always going to be like that? Many things come without ever knowing the reason. And love, Tone and Sound now feel each other. Beloved it. Though not yet spoken. Although not yet clear. Sometimes love does not have to be said with sweet words.

The audience applauded. This time it's more exciting than ever. The second song is finished. The performance of the Jazz band was amazing. So riveting. Tone and Sound took off their hugs at the end of the song. Now they look at each other. Smiling for the third time. It seemed like he was ready if he had to answer the question from Nada. About where to go or why to disappear without giving word.

"Lea. you're not--"

Plaques

One slap landed on Sound's right cheek. Tone slapping Sound.

"Take me--"

"That's because you told me and didn't know me."

Surprised sounds. "But, Lea. I-i-"

Plaques

Once again a slap landed on the right cheek of Sound. Second slap.

"This is because you came without feeling any guilt. Why are you suddenly here?" say Cold tone.

He's really upset. The two slaps explained that. After all, saying suddenly without any news continues to appear and do not feel guilty, whoever the woman will be very upset if digituin.

The silent sound is perfect. Without a word. When viewed from his face, it looks like Sound wants to say something. Explain. But it seems like it's all for free. Tone staring Sound. Still with the same look. Hand floated. Maybe the third slap will land soon too.

"Sister Tone!"

The hand swing of Nada stopped. Spanking when failed to land. Someone called out to Nada from a distance.

Tone turned, "Mila..."

Mila and a boy ran over, approaching towards Tone and Sound.

"Sir Nada is here. Mila from earlier nyariin Brother. Yeah, right, Dul?" clearly Mila. Breathing gasps.

Smiling tone. He bowed and held Mila's arm.

"Sister is also from earlier nyariin you, loh. Uh, I know I'll meet here." Looking left-right, "Where are you, Mil?"

"Turn back to the hotel, brother. Change shirt. Putis the pup on Mama's shirt."

Laughing tone.

"Oh yes, Brother. It's Bedul. Mila's cousin." Mila saw Bedul. "Dul, this is Brother Nada. That I told you last night."

"What do you say is that musician, Mil?" bedul said spontaneously.

Mila glares. Putting your index finger in front of your mouth.

Bedul. Covering his mouth with his palm. Got the signal from Mila just now. I feel guilty for being lost too.

Tone back laughing. Mila and Bedul are funny.

"This who's Brother? Brother's girlfriend, huh?" Ask plain Mila. Watching Sound.

The one being asked and the one being noticed were both shocked. Look at each other too. How could a child of Mila's age so quickly deduce anything? The tone stopped staring at the sound. Turned his face away quickly. It's a misdeed. Don't know what to say. But on the other hand, the sound was even a smile of its own. Maybe he's happy because of Mila's innocence. Or the same status. But the relationship has not had any clarity.

"I think we're interrupting adult dating, Mil." Bedul whispered to Mila.

"Indeed, adult dating is like this, Dul?" Ask Mila confused. Whispering too.

"Ehem-ahem..." The sound of stepping closer to Mila and Bedul. Then look at the two in turn.

"Sister's name, Sound. But you can call Brother by any name. Hello to you." Smiling sounds.

Tone noticed.

Mila and Bedul looked at each other.

"Kak Nada and Kak Bunyi. Wow, his name fits. Isn't that right, Dul?" said Mila plain. Eager.

Bedul agrees. Nodding surely. Thumbs up.

Laughing sounds. Mila and Bedul are really innocent and funny.

Nada is still paying attention. He also smiled and saw the innocence or cuteness of Mila and Bedul. Actually Nada is still wrong behavior, anyway. But from then on he covered it up. Let no one else know. Especially Sound. He will become a geer.

"You're wrong. Actually not wrong. It's just not right." It's clear.

Mila and Bedul looked at each other again.

Glancing at Nada then looked back at Mila and Bedul alternately. "Sister isn't Kak Nada's girlfriend."

Mila and Bedul are confused.

"If not a girlfriend, continue to dong? Family?" ask Mila.

Sound shook.

"Friend?" bedul Saut.

The sound shook again.

"Continue?" tanya Mila and Bedul simultaneously. Curious.

"Friends live." Sound Words. Glancing Nada. Spotlight mysterious eyes.

The one who was shocked was not playing. The look on his face changed. Can't be explained. It must be a joke again. It must have been a joke. What did he say just now? Life companion? Disappear without news then appear arbitrarily and now say life friend? What does it mean try. Not funny, Nan.

Perhaps Mila san Bedul could quickly deduce something with their innocence. You may also be able to read things and learn things. But this time, Mila and Bedul were completely confused. I don't know what it means. Yes, because life friends are not the same as playmates at school. Or not like a pair of children who exchange ice cream and become a life friend. Notwithstanding. Not like that. Friends of life means commitment. Difficulty, accepting more and lack of partners, and equally up to the ending of the story.

Tone staring Sound. You're really bummering, Nan. Bizarrely. He smiles.
