Sweet Pills
Chapter 7. Curvature of the Sipit Eye
The sun hides behind the moon, it does not mean that the spotlight stops shining. He continued to highlight the stage with a dim light, dark silence crouching the night.
In fact, he is not alone. Another sun-studded, more distant space, may be outside the Milky Way galaxy. The stars twinkled glitteringly in the blanket of the night sky.
Putting each other apart.
Wijaya moved from his sitting position to the first floor, looking for Niki. The man then caught a girl who was staring at the sky.
Niki looked up at the night sky, his mind dissolved in millions of questions, as many as the stars scattered.
In fact, there are thousands of lights in the sky, why only hope for the sunlight? They're both stars, aren't they? Just different distances, and coincidentally, the sun is the closest star to the earth.
Yes, the human view is limited.
Humans are simple creatures. All these rays are called stars because they look the same. At most, only a handful recognize them, astronomers. Special people who have broad insight, like to adventure, find friends for the sun. Then, find the difference between one star and another.
Wijaya said, “It looks small yes, but the original is big.”
His heart is beating again. Again, his eyes were round full of question marks. How could Wijaya say that, exactly as he thought. The moon is there too.
Wijaya also smiled obliquely, just like her. How could this girl always look at him with such round eyes? He just wanted to ask her to talk.
“While every twilight, there is Venus. In fact, if to the beach, there is Venus, Mars, the sun, and the moon appear together.” Wijaya suddenly shared information about the sky with him.
“Then this night, there are only two things I know, moon and stars.”.
Niki was still silent unmoved, as Wijaya approached until they were both staring at the sky from behind the first-floor window of the graphic design building.
“There are two stars I know. The bright one at the end there,” point it to the sky. “And another one there, near moon.” It pointed in the other direction, the moon, where the sun was quietly highlighting the two, while hiding.
“What's his name?” Niki was interested, he waited for Wijaya to continue his speech.
“It's March, the brightest it's called Aldebaran.”
“Where do you know?”
“Because it's my star, only appeared in March to May later. Special star Taurus.”
So warm. Niki smiled, responding to Vijaya's vast knowledge who happily shared astronomy with him.
“Then, one more name what?”
“Hmmm... The possible Kejora? Have Lesti?”
Both men laughed too. Niki's eyes narrowed, curving like a crescent moon. Wijaya's smile was also engraved, curved beautifully. Very sweet and rare.
Cold and sweet, ice cream man! No, eskimo! his mind. While his mind is storing a very rare situation into a special memory about the cold man the number twelve participant, Wijaya.
This cold guy turns warm at night. What the hell is it? asked Niki then, his mind was curious.
“Come on to class. His father has come.” invite Wijaya.
Niki gaping. Apparently, just to take her back to class. Wijaya did not just say it. In fact, invite him to talk first, such as persuading without having to ask to use the word. He is a gentleman.
...∞...
Wijaya led the way in front of Niki. The two climbed the stairs to the classroom at the end of the second-floor corridor. Wijaya pushed the glass door and held it with one arm waiting for Niki to step in.
“For a long time.” greet a foreign man who is sitting with a graphic design participant
“Patin!” shouted Xabil.
“Sini!” ask Niki to come closer. They are playing UNO cards. Previously, Wijaya wanted to play the card together. In fact, Niki does not understand the rules of the game.
“Elah, free lu, Jay.” concluded Abigail while handing out cards. “Yes already, you guys set up tonight to say what, I'm sorry first.” said the foreign man earlier and immediately out of class.
“Tadi who's bang?” ask Niki to Ryan, the class president who he thinks he already knows everyone in the design department. “Yes where I know.” says Ryan lightly.
“Udah Bil, already. Beware of your trance, laugh ngak gitu.” reprimand Mita. Xabil suddenly covered his mouth with both hands, demonstrating how women laughed with contrived gurgles. “Lebay!”
“Keep me what, watch doang?” niki Whine.
Kiki pulled her hand apart, “Sini, we discuss about diet aja.”. Niki nodded in spirit, great idea. He has lost twelve pounds since last year.
Stress, pressure and demands, unfriendly circumstances, plus no financial support. He suddenly swelled up so many complaints that He swallowed himself. His weight rose to sixty-two, mild obesity for his mediocre height.
The diet process that he went through was really heavy. Morning, forty minutes of exercise. Afternoon, yoga. Afternoon, around the complex. The four-month routine is thankfully, fruitful, truly effective. His weight was stable at fifty kilos now, and was getting lower as he forced himself as busily as possible.
If only He had not lost weight, perhaps Wijaya would not have smiled warmly at him like fifteen minutes ago. It could even be, Laras will not greet him ‘sini!’ that morning.
Beauty privilege is real. No matter how smart a person is, the main point remains appearance.
Niki secretly glanced at Wijaya who was joking with other participants. Apparently, he was much warmer at night. Contrary to her in the morning, her nature was completely cold.
Niki then grimaced, recalling the incident that had passed one day. Starting from boring hymns, ice cream during the day, major presentations, and lunch together on the hall floor.
The first time for Niki to get this close and close to a stranger. His friendship with the participants of graphic design was even more talented than his contemporaries.
Right people say. Sometimes, being completely unfamiliar is a rare opportunity to indulge in being a different person.
Stepping out of your comfort zone.
One thing I forgot. The shameful thing he said three times to Vijaya, in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. Especially, the incident on the stairs of the mosque that suddenly made him turn his back.
“Red shoes?!” suddenly, he surprised one room. To the extent that Kiki is away from him, even Mita has been thinking that is not it, possessed is it?
Ah shit! Why just wake up?! it's in the heart. Both of his hands were on his head, repeatedly wanting to ruffle his veil-covered hair. His forehead frowned out staring at Wijaya who was also staring at him.
Height, neckline, waist smaller than his wide shoulders and above all, the most crucial. Red shoes!
That mas, that means Wijaya…?
His brain began to find similarities between Si Mas and Wijaya, busy mingling ria. Wijaya smiled with a mysterious look, straight at Niki.
Antony – who sits next to Wijaya – noticed the change in facial expression just now. He also compared with the gaze of other participants to Niki – girl who likes to shout suddenly it's – but, no one gave a strange grin like Wijaya.
What's wrong with those two? his mind, which will then become the forerunner of the mission especially with Sapphira.
Wijaya, a foreign man who accidentally heard his silly chirps three times. Instead of evading or ilfeel, this man actually invited him to talk during the discussion.
Wijaya, a really cold foreign man. Eskimo people like to answer with a word or two. But just now, the man even shared astronomy with him, smiling sweetly.
Wijaya, a foreign man in red shoes. The important thing that Niki realized and began to haunt her tonight. His eyes reluctantly closed, defeated with a heart that still wanted to be awake.
His stomach suddenly began to break, three times he paced to the toilet located to the right of the main building entrance, where the female participants rest during orientation activities.
Incidentally, girls majoring in cosmetology save a lot of fruits for activities tonight. They then invited the male participants to stop by the main building. One of them sent a message and immediately responded hysterically by the adam.
“Ish! people want to sleep too.” gerutu Safira.
“Eh, Niki where?” Laras realizes Niki is not in his bed. “It looks like it is still in the toilet of the child, mostly eating patin, sih.” sahut Safira. “Guys! The hood is here.” Kiki clasped the black veil dangling at the end of Niki's bed.
The four friends then rushed to deliver Niki's veil to the toilet. Three doors were knocked down, fortunately there was a speech on the third door. But Niki came out the first door.
He looked at the four friends with astonished gazes, while the look on their faces looked at Niki in fear. “Aaaaaa...!!”
Coinciding with that, several men had already set foot on the doorstep, as they turned around and ran away in a storm.
“The main building is haunted! There was the same scream of a black haired girl in a long white shirt at the window! Oath, horror!”
Antony, the guts test mission lover frowned in disbelief, as well as interested in trying for himself tomorrow night. He then invited the design guys, including Wijaya who tried to close his eyes, good night.
