Painting Fragile Storytelling
2. OUTDOOR INTERVIEW

———🎨🎥

"Ezzars? Why daydream?"

Ezar looked from a distance at a girl along with a strange looking man in his eyes, they were seen chatting merrily.

"Who else is the same..."

"What the hell is that? What do you see..."

Kalea tried to equate what Ezar had seen so far that he ignored his talk.

"Oh, Athena? Same thing."

"Yemen? But he's an introvert."

"What's the problem if he's introverted? Can't be friends?"

"Maybe, but he seems very cool without me..."

Kalea rubbed Ezar's back slowly, intending to encourage him.

"Rather than her being sad, mending her is that way, right?"

Ezar nodded and looked the other way with a sad look.

"What a surprise if you're gamon!"

Kalea laughed loudly and Ezar laughed bitterly.

While in the distance, Athena heard a loud laugh and found out who. When he found the owner of the voice, Kalea laughed and Ezar laughed. Athena was stunned as she looked at the two of them, she felt a little pain looking at him.

Yaksa who saw Athena looking at her ex-boyfriend was amazed, he patted Athena on the shoulder.

"The voice recorder's on."

"Eh? Oh."

Athena stopped looking at Ezar when her shoulders felt a slow clap from Yaksa's hands.

"This is the last take, don't repeat. I'm tired."

Yaksa nodded in understanding.

Athena adjusted the position of the camera and she sat down to begin the interview.

"Why are you in the art club room so often? Even during lesson time?"

"Hobby."

"Did you get inspiration to paint from someone? Can you explain what someone is like?"

"I get inspiration for painting only from plants, animals and what I see. But not from humans."

"Why are you always alone? Is there a problem?"

"I like to be alone, but now maybe not anymore."

"Do you have a friend who helped you at school?"

"Nothing."

"When are you going to fix the value of your subjects that are lacking?"

"Quickly."

"Does your family support your hobby?"

"My family is very busy, so I will support myself."

Athena moved to stop the camera that was recording and approached Yaksa then released her voice recorder attached to the uniform Yaksa, while Yaksa was nervous. It was just that the distance of the girl's face was too close to her.

"Done, thank you."

"Yes, here."

Yaksa handed over the milk box he had brought.

Athena received the milk box after she finished tidying her interview equipment.

"Thank you."

Athena sighed while sitting next to Yaksa, drinking the milk while looking at the small garden of her school.

"Sorry about yesterday, I just know if you and Ezar have broken up."

Athena shook her head with a smile.

"Such great to apologize to everyone."

"Lo's the style of gamon pake everything."

"Who said I was a gamon? No, no."

"Yes, not gamon."

Athena turned to look at Yaksa, looking at him in astonishment.

"Why? I'm handsome?"

Athena drank her milk out and put her milk box into Yaksa's hands, then she brought a cardboard box containing her interview equipment and sauntered away to the photography club room.

Yaksa laughed amusedly at Athena's ignorant behavior and muttered.

"Can you be that funny?"

They reached the photography club room, Yaksa looked around the narrow room with a look of admiration.

"Got clean? Different is much the same as my club room."

Athena went around the view after putting a cardboard box containing her interview equipment just now.

"Kak Anggara, the chairman of my club is a bit sensitive about cleanliness so he is diligent in cleaning and its members also participate in the initiative to help clean up."

"You didn't interview me in my gloomy clubroom and even an outdoor interview, now I get it."

"Well... No, emang said Kak Anggara setting the starting place outdoor. Indoor tomorrow, in that art club room."

Athena chuckles.

"Lo forgot? I'll work."

Yaksa replied to Athena with a grin.

"So morning I stopped by your workplace and told your boss to replace you with my man, so just calm down it's done."

"See me how are you?"

Yaksa laughed crisply.

"Forgive, it's changed not fired."

"OK okay, I'll help. So now let's go back to our class."

Yaksa opened his mouth wide.

"Our class? Well, it turns out you've realized we're classmates."

"After you say yesterday, I'm looking next to me even though I'm sleeping."

Yaksa gave a hopeful look.

"So who's next door?"

Athena folded her hands on her chest and slashed her eyes.

"Lo."

Yaksa smiled in satisfaction as if it was the answer he heard the most.

The man trailed the woman shorter than him towards their class, even their classmates were astonished since when did they become close? Though they were both indifferent, so it was quite astonishing.

In the narrow room was seen a man sitting with a serious look with his gray hodie bag inserted in his hand, his eyes were now seriously staring at the laptop screen.

Then he suddenly clapped his hands.

"It's not wrong to choose you as a member."

Athena cleared her throat a bit awkwardly.

"Isn't the list just two people?"

"Ah yes, lo same Ezar doang..."

"But now Ezar has resigned, right?"

Athena asked suddenly.

Anggara raised his eyebrows then shook his head.

"No, no."

"But yesterday he packed his stuff, brother."

Athena tries to remember what happened yesterday when Ezar asked for his help to bring a laptop to his class.

Anggara gave a doubtful look.

"Because you two broke up, maybe he's trying to keep his distance from you. So he put his stuff in his locker and edited it maybe in his class or his house."

Athena could not believe what she had just heard and tried to look the other way as her breath suddenly hunted, she fell silent without a word responding to Anggara.

"Gue go back first, brother."

Athena left with the bag on her shoulder.

But his footsteps led him to Ezar class instead of going to the Art Club, he looked through the window of Ezar class and found the exotic leather man was busy wrestling with the laptop in front of him alone.

Athena's heart was beating at a fast tempo, it felt like her hand was about to reach the doorknob of that class and open it. But his common sense was still there so he realized to undo his intentions.

"Ma?"

"AH!"

Athena jumped in shock because suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder and spoke right in her ear until she shuddered.

"What's going on here?"

Shhsttt...

Athena put her index finger on her lips and pulled the man's arm leading her deep into the Arts Club room.

"I swear, my heart almost moved to the hanky tau no heck."

Athena rubbed her chest.

"Lo boong?"

"Huh?"

"Lo says there's business in the club room. It could have been in front of that class."

Yaksa said full of emphasis on his sentence.

Athena realized that she was being interrogated, so she bit down her lips hesitatingly and even mute.

"Oh, so you're really boong. Gapapa anyway if there is something else that makes you can not help me, I do not problem."

Athena felt the tone of this man's speech as if she was disappointed in him, this made her feel guilty now but somehow her mouth was confused to deny Yaksa's words. Now he could only look down at the floor.

"Sorry."

"I'm sorry? Why didn't you deny my wrong talk just now? He said he wanted to find peace together, but the trivial thing like this is not completely finished with the real."

"You know what you're saying wrong, why do you interrogate me like this? Why make it so difficult?"

Yaksa lowered his shoulders resignedly when he saw Athena looking up at him seriously and he exhaled trying to calm down in the current tense situation.

His eyes instantly became sad as Athena breezed out of the room without a word of saying goodbye or just a smile.
