The After The Rain
Direct Messages

About half-eight nights, Kinara was made to shake his head when he heard the sound of a guitar drum accompanied by the sound of singing.

When he came out of the room to check, he found Papa and Mama sitting side by side on the porch. The usual round table becomes a barrier between one chair with another seat has been shifted to almost to the corner of the terrace.

The pair of humans seemed to be smiling brightly. Jemari Papa's hand shrewdly crammed the guitar while Mama next to him seemed to pat both hands following the rhythm of the guitar genjrengan. Their bodies swayed to the right and to the left, along with their muttering lips singing a romantic song.

"Nothing's gonna change my love for you, you too know by now how much I love you. One thing you can be sure of, I'll never ask for more than your love." Papa sings the lyrics with passion, looking at Mama as if she is the center of her world.

Mama does not want to lose, with her gaze fixed straight to Papa's eye bead, Mama followed along singing her part.

"Nothing's gonna change my love for you, you too know by now how much I love you. The world may change my whole life through, but nothing's gonna change my love for you."

Kinara is always simple. But as the happiness she felt right now made her heart tremble so violently that she almost let out a tear, Kinara immediately pulled out the phone from inside her pants pocket.

Using the smart thing, Kinara captured the moment where Papa and Mama looked at each other to express their feelings through eyes that were both attached to each other.

Papa and Mama still look at each other even though the song they sing starts to change.

Kinara developed a smile, pressed the stop button on her phone after getting enough footage then walked back towards her room. Let him give Papa and Mama time to spend together. Let the two men return to being a pair of humans who seem to be in love for the first time.

In the room, Kinara was laying on the bed. The laptop on the study desk was still on, and he just left it. Before her focus was interrupted, Kinara was busy working on something with her laptop. Since now her feelings are good and she has the mood to upload something on her Instagram account, so Kinara left her job for a while on her laptop and switched to checking her phone screen.

The first thing that Kinara discovered when the Instagram application successfully opened was six notifications that appeared in the top right corner of the screen. Thinking that the notification might only contain new follower notifications like yesterday, he decided to ignore the notification and focus on what he wanted to do.

It didn't take long for Kinara to realize his intention into an action. After selecting a photo from within his mobile gallery, he immediately uploaded the photo on his account. In the caption section, Kinara wrote a line that read: Two people who continue to fall in love from day to day. 

Kinara smiled with satisfaction after the photo was uploaded. It was a photo featuring Mama and Papa holding hands against the camera with a straight forward gaze, gazing at the vast expanse of sea as dusk slowly rose and a gorgeous orange tinge began to appear above the sky.

The photo was taken about six months ago when they were on holiday in Bali to celebrate the anniversary of Mama and Papa's wedding. It was a happy moment, but the sad part was, it became their last holiday photo before their lives were turned upside down by the circumstances.

Kinara did not need to wait for any response for the photo she uploaded, because indeed whatever she uploaded here was aimed at expressing what she was feeling, she said, at the same time share with people who may need to see the same things as he likes. So, he never expected any feedback from any of his uploads.

Although Kinara was initially not interested in checking the contents of the notification in the upper corner, but the red dot sign long ago impaired his vision as well. So, Kinara immediately clicked on the notification icon to check what information would be displayed there.

For some reason, Kinara suddenly felt nervous. His hand even slightly trembled when he was about to click on the notification to check what reply @dyellow wrote there.

When Kinara finally managed to see the reply given, he found his heart beating faster than before, just because of a smile emoticon that was only one in number. Yes, the @dyellow account only replied to his comment with one smile emoticon, but it has managed to make him feel flowery, flowery, like he just got a confession of love from the man he loves the most all over the world.

Since it was just an emoticon smile, Kinara decided not to reply again. He just presses the symbol of the heart to like the comment and then intends to close the Instagram application, when again the focus is stolen.

Kinara again looked at another notification that had just come in, and he only realized that there was a notification telling him that the @dyellow account had just followed him. Which means, the account owner is also opening his account right now.

Not long ago, Kinara received another notification in the form of a notification that someone had just sent him a direct message. Yup, he's the owner of the @dyellow account.

Hi, lets be friend. I guess you like the sunset too, don't you?

That was the sound of the message he received. It took Kinara nearly fifteen seconds just to type in a simple line of words, which if his heart condition was normal, he would not even need time to think about the reply.

On her phone, Kinara wrote Hi, nice to meet you here. You guess it right, I do like the sunset. A smile emoticon at the end of a sentence.

Not long after, another reply came from @dyellow.

Glad to hear that's. I still have hundreds of sunset photos that I have not uploaded, and from now on I will post it one each day, in case you want to see it. 

Kinara smiled, then with her chest pounding even more, she wrote a reply.

I would love to see it everyday. Please post it, I will leave a trace on every photo you upload from now on. Cuz from now on, I am a big fan of you.

Another reply from @dyellow did not appear afterwards, nor did Kinara see any signs that the account owner was still active. So, Kinara decided to quit the app and intend to go back to work on what she had previously left behind.

But before he actually exits the app, he first changes the notification settings on his originally deleted account to be active so that if @dyellow replies to his last message, it will be, he would know soon and be able to reply straight away.
