Suddenly
Why isn’t love always easy?
“He goes first,” whispered Kiya to me because no one spoke.
“Ren?”
“Ssttt!”
What happened that night?
“I like you, Sky.”
THE PLAQUE!
“What are you doing?” kiya's voice is near my ear.
“Hitting myself.”
“Hey, you can't sleep well, huh?”
“Hey, you wrongly asked me.”
Kiya laughed in a whisper making my ears ticklish.
“What did my attitude last night look cruel?” I whispered to Kiya.
“Slightly but you didn't intend it that way, it was also a sudden attack. Everyone will also have a variety of reactions.”
“You said like to cheer me up?”
“Too clear, yes?”
“Wah, you!”
That night…
“Don't we have to get up early tomorrow?” and I just left.
“Ren, really go first?”
“Iya, right after cleaning things up. He said he should accompany his mother. Isn't that just the reason?”
“Of course, I don't know what to do. I was trying to avoid.”
“Only today, on campus as much as possible you try not to be awkward and as usual.”
“Can I?”
“Can, you can definitely. You know, don't you.I mean? You know what Ren is like.”
Kai looked at his phone screen, “I thought it would be like this.”
Tong!
“Sky....,” Kai was seen running and half-flying could not even calm down overnight as he waited for tomorrow to meet Sky.
“Sk..”
“Hai!”
Kai was silent with a look on his face that was certainly disappointed. Not someone he's been waiting for.
“Have you seen it? How's this?” Rania showed me what was on her phone screen.
“Kai?”
“You came for this?” kai said without any expression on his face.
“Ssttt!” Rania pushed him inside.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“There is someone who sees. Wouldn't it be weird to suddenly leave?”
“Hey, you should have left. If this is the more caught red-handed. You didn't do it on purpose, did you?”
“Kai, your words hurt me.”
“You shouldn't have come here.”
“You ignored and it made me even more unsettled.”
“Did you know it would make things worse? How will you explain it to Sky?”
“Sky will understand.”
“It's not that easy. Do you know.I wasn't next to him because I had to keep my promise to you.”
“Now you're angry because of my confession last night? Turns out you'd prefer someone else over me who's known you for so long, Kai?”
A long journey has come close to the city. Each cell phone has been in their grasp as signifying the present life.
“Sky, what are you..”.
“Mbbmmmp..,” Kiya smothering Joes mouth.
“What's up?” sky's gaze was wondering because his friends were looking at him as if they both wanted to talk.
“Hmm, where is your phone?” kiya said with strange gestures.
“In my backpack.”
“Ah, isn't your phone still..”
“Iya, I turned it off.”
“Ah..”
“What's up? Why are you looking at me like that? You guys too, take your cell phone so seriously. Ah, is there a new post on that junk portal?”
“Hey, you think a day we can live without a cell phone?”
“Yes, we only see what is on our respective phones. Isn't that what it is?”
“Hahaha, that's true.”
“What are you guys suspicious about. Kiya you didn't lie to me?”
“Ti—dak.”
“Kiya!”
“Nothing, Sky.”
“You can't lie, Kiya.”
“What is it about Kai and Rania?”
Everyone takes their eyes off. Like justifying my words. “Ah, so true. All right, I'll see it later.”
No one answered.
“It's okay, it's not your fault. As soon as possible I will also know.”
“Hey, I'm fine. Didn't you guys tell me to have fun?”
No more answers
“Hahaha, alright.I will see it now.”
Then they react.
“At least when you've actually reached.”
“You understand, Sky? You can't open it now.”
“Hahaha, yes I understand.”
“What do they go to dinner for?” sky asked as his friends no longer focused on cell phones.
“Sky, you can see it later.”
“Do not try to see it now!”
“I just guessed it, is it like that?”
“Ya,” Kiya replied.
“Kiya!”
“Isn't that predictable? I thought it would be like that.”
Did they have dinner together at Kai's favorite place?
What are they talking about?
They having fun?
Is that Kai's birthday present?
Sky sighed. Looking outwards and then breathing again. Lean on Kiya's shoulder and end up closing his eyes even though it is not the time to fall asleep because it only takes a few minutes to get to campus.
“You, anyway!” Joes whispered in Kiya's ear.
“Sstt! He can hear it.”
Drowning in the shadows of Kai and Rania's face.
“You kicked me out?”
“Shouldn't have you here, Rania.”
“How can I get out?”
“Yes, it's my fault I shouldn't have ignored you.”
“Iya, you're guilty.”
Opening now?
Or later?
Open it?
Now then?
Nah!
Nay!
As usual, the sound of my steps rhymed with a voice in my mind.
His footsteps stopped in front of the department store. “Hai, Son!” sapana.
“Good morning, Bu.”
“You just got a vacation?” tanyakanya.
“No, camping only.”
“Hey, isn't that on vacation?”
“Looks..not.”.
“What's up? You had a fight with Kai?”
“Hmm, no.”
“Call me..iya.”
Sky put what he bought on the cashier's table.
“You can take him..this is for you.”
Sky was confused by what he heard. “Iya, Ma?”
“You can bring it, it's free for you.”
“Hah?”
The owner of the convenience store put it in a crackle bag and put it on my fingers. “Let's just say you're happy today.”
“But, Mom..”
“It's okay. You're going home, right? Eat while watching movies and also sleep soundly.”
“Bu..”.
“Already, it's okay.”
“Bu..”.
The owner of the department store escorted him out. “Already, it's okay,” The mother rubbed my head gently.
“Thank you,” Sky repeatedly thanked him by lowering his head. From a distance the shopkeeper waved at him as if he were his mother.
His feet became fast.
Getting closer.
Just a few more steps.
Sky was at the door. Open the phone and yes…
“What is..”.
“Sky?”
Kai walked closer.
“Your voices are noisy,” Sky walks in past Kai and Rania.
“You're fussing about this?” Sky picked up his phone.
“Sky, it's not like you imagined,” Kai is in front of me.
“That's nothing, Sky. You don't think like that either, do you?” rania.
“Solve your problems. I just picked up my bag left behind,” Sky walked over to Kai's room and took his bag.
Walk out and say, “Solve your problems.”
“Where are you going?” Kai took my hand.
“Go home and sleep,” Sky unzipped that grip.
“Oh, yes. Welcome to know, Rania.”
