Suddenly
Silent Space
“You secretly went with him?”
The sound of the door being closed violently due to the strong wind.
“I met him at the pharmacy and Grace asked him to drop me off.”
“Because..that you?”
“No. Grace's sister was just worried about me and it just so happened that someone knew me. For that Brother Grace..”
“You can contact me, Sky.”
“You said we're both tired and will talk tomorrow. You were with him too.”
“How can you just close the door?”
“Then I have to how, Kai? Greet you and Rania by saying, hai—like that?”
Kai held my hand from behind. His right hand touched my forehead. “You don't have a fever.”
“Indeed no.”
“I'll explain it to you, Sky.”
“Not now and not tomorrow, Kai.”
“Nothing with me and Rania.”
“You already know your priorities, Kai. I don't have someone right someone who's beside me other than you and I make you my priority. Everyone will be different. Like you and me I thought would have the same priority.”
Sky took off the hand and said, “How does it feel to look like a real couple when in reality you already have one?”
“Didn't you do it in front of me, too? What did I see just now? Even you just closed the door.”
“I didn't touch it. Neither cuddle nor join hands.”
“Ah, so that's what pisses you off? You see me and Rania?”
“You just don't know the feelings I have, Kai.”
“And you don't know what it's like if you care about your own best friend. It has nothing to do with a priority.”
“Yes, I don't know. Because I will always be there. Good night, Kai.”
Sky took the medicine. Lying on his bed. Turn off the lights and make the whole room dark.
I heard the sound of the door closing.
The next morning the tightness in my chest diminished. The effects of sleepiness on the medication I was taking really helped me.
He was getting ready to go to college, leave early.
Today, he is not on foot. Grace's sister suddenly came up to me and chuckled to take me to college.
“Where are you going so early, Brother?”
“Hmm, it's been a long time I didn't do it.”
“What happened? We haven't known each other for a long time but feel like we understand what you're feeling. What's up, Brother?”
“Your class starts at what time?” tanyakanya.
“10 morning.”
“Hah? Even this is still at 6 am, Sky.”
“I just want to wait in the club room until class arrives. What's the matter, Brother?”
“Am I willing to use your time for me?”
“Ya, with pleasure.”
If you look at the eyes of Kak Grace like after crying and looking tired. What the hell is going on?
“Hmm, i..”.
“Eh..”
“Iya, Brother?”
Grace looked at me for a moment. The look in his eyes made me think more and more of something bad was going on.
“Ah, yes.”
What the hell's going on?
While he was still wondering what happened to Grace. Kai was seen putting food on the doorstep but the food was still in the same place 1 hour ago.
“Sky...,” someone he was looking for does not exist. Several times I called him there was no answer.
When Kai just woke up and opened the fridge. He just realized it. Sky gave back all the gifts. Not only that, Sky also returned the recliner he made along with a blanket that had been washed.
Returns all of Kai's belongings left in his apartment, and Sky retrieves his belongings in Kai's apartment.
One more thing, Sky returned the gift books from Kai.
“HAH? IMPOSSIBLE!” sky shouted with his eyeballs almost out.
Her ears could not be wrong with her but she could not believe the reality spoken from Grace's mouth.
“The man is back with his ex-girlfriend,” hasn't been enough to digest the situation when Kak Grace says her marriage is cancelled. Now it just pisses me off because I heard the reason behind it.
“Ah, people from the past. Are they old friends?” my many.
“Iya, you're right.”
“Damn it! Why does that fact sound like a warning to me?”
“Ah, Kai and the girl?” Grace is getting clearer.
“What will happen to me, brother? Ah, sorry. I should have put the guess first.”.
“It's okay. Isn't that good news for me? Although it may not be painful.”
“But..Kak Grace is really valuable. Before the wedding took place. The rot was exposed. What if it doesn't? Wouldn't it be harder and more painful?”
“He was a foolish man who did not dare to express his true feelings even it became protracted. Why wait 9 years if the man is not sure of his feelings? Basic male *******!” Sky continued his words with his brutal sentence that actually made him relieved like releasing the anger that was on him.
“Hahaha, whoa! Does that make you relieved?”
“Iya,” Sky hugged Sister Grace tightly.
“So Grace, you're the best person I've ever had in my life. Therefore, you are valuable. The world doesn't want Grace's sister to marry that man.”
Grace smiled at me and said, “Actually, I have passed my night full of unbearable cries and anger but today…there's someone like you accompanying me and making me relieved as well as a start to open a new page.”
“Good! You did your best for yourself, Brother.”
Brother Grace hugged her tighter and said, “You'll be fine with Kai.”
“Hopefully,” reply me with a soft voice.
Time has shown at 8 am. KakGrace took me to college. Throughout the journey we talked a lot. “That guy, does he like you?” ask Grace before I open the door.
“No way,” reply me.
“I'll pick you up later. You don't mind, do you?” said Grace with the look of her face that looks more relieved than before.
“Good. I'll call you, Brother.”
“We will eat well.”
“Deal!” I shouted with a wave at Grace.
Someone from the past suddenly comes on the sidelines of the finger before the wedding day and one of them will falter or not. Whoa! Isn't that awful?
Like give and take. Looks both grasping but with a different meaning.
“Why does it look scary?” Sky spoke to himself with his walking footsteps.
“What scares you?”
His voice was heard but the look in his eyes and the footsteps of time wanted to turn past the sound that sounded in his ears.
Sky passed by him like he always thought of himself as a ghost invisible to other humans.
“Sky....,” his hand almost touched his shoulder but the step of the time was faster and managed to escape.
“You're really late..”
