Secrets & Prejudice = Keep it secret, you will hurt
Hidden story. chapter six POV

Alana walked beside me while telling me some things. But my mind floated. I can't forget that person's expression now. I saw him while picking up a bike in the parking lot. He was walking out with a look that, I don't know... was worrying? After Alana asked me to talk I could not focus on that person anymore, until after walking for a long time I saw him again. He moved to a place I knew.

“I go home first today, see you later tonight”

He, is fine...

This lake I used to come to in my childhood with alana. Spending time together as two little kids who love to play around. I used to run after him, or read a book beside him until he got bored and pranked me again.

Then why was he there staring in silence with that expression. And like getting the right moment, it just rained. Made me rush to open the umbrella to protect myself while approaching that person. I walked slowly, not bothering, but sounded enough so that he would not be surprised. The danger is that if I make it fall into the lake, it is not funny at all.

"excuse me. You okay?" tanyaku carefully. I'm always used to seeing him smile, but I don't know. There was a different feeling this time, this change in expression was not as usual, or was I just thinking too far? too sympathetic because he looks like someone I know? I don't know. More importantly I want to protect her from the rain as well with my umbrella. This guy can't be sick, or I'll feel guilty, even if it's not my fault either.

"oh, Ananta. mom is fine just wants to calm down" he said with a smile that looks peaceful. Oh, I feel too presumptuous to come and approach him like this. I should have just been watching from far away. I'm just making the atmosphere awkward now, you know. Do I just go. But before that I want to say something. The thing that has been in my heart for a long time, since I first saw him.

I move closer, should I whisper? or talk louder? Speaking louder is disrespectful. This close would sound. Never mind, what matters is that I say it. The opportunity didn't come twice, and now seems to be the right moment.

"mother's face reminds me of someone, so I hope you can smile a lot with that face" I said. Yes, I sincerely want to see him happy. He smiled back, and for a moment my heart warmed as if what was looking at me right now was someone else. Someone I could not possibly meet in this world. Thank you for making it feel like it's coming back to life in my life. Although very cliche, it felt reconciling even if only briefly.

Can't linger I give up her umbrella before saying goodbye. If he wants to stay here longer, he can wear his umbrella again. I finally left him by the lake alone. Back to my wet bike now. And, as I recall I parked it right, but it's wallowing in the mud right now. Ah, maybe just fall.
