A Piece of Asa In A Taste
Bylla And Reymond

As the sunlight dimmed, black clouds began to roll over the stretch of blue sky. The roar of the wind grew louder and louder, as if a rainstorm was coming. Flashes of lightning occasionally struck, the light seemed to split the universe, a very creepy atmosphere.

A woman whose eyes held a blue bead, was sitting on a chair, in the corner of the room. He was restless waiting for the lover who never came. A few hours ago, they promised to meet, at a restaurant they were subscribed to. Although this woman is tough, and tough, yet she is very afraid of lightning, even more so if she is alone.

"You where Rey is, I've been here waiting for you" Bylla murmured softly.

The look in his eyes could not be separated from the entrance, he hoped that the figure of the man he was waiting for would soon arrive.

"I didn't dare go home to Rey" said Bylla, staring at the falling rain, as she was sitting by the window.

Bylla lowered her head, while covering both her ears. Although it only sounded vague, but the thunderous sound was still frightening to him.

A few minutes had passed, outside the rain was fluttering with more and more heavy. Bylla's eyes began to glaze over, her blue bead began to blur, as tears began to pool.

"I'm so scared" Bylla whispered to herself.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'm sorry baby I came late, my car broke down on the road. I had to wait for a taxi to get here" said one man, hugging Bylla.

He was Reymond Been Jackson, a handsome, dignified young man. Nevertheless, he is very romantic, and loving. He always treated Bylla gently, never once did he hurt her. Reymond is the only son in the Jackson family, one of the most influential families in Indonesia.

Bylla and Reymond were friends in college, and the last two years, they've been in a relationship. They share a feeling in love.

Bylla and Reymond are a very compatible couple, both of whom have good personalities. Both have near-perfect faces, and both are born in the middle of their families.

"Rey, you're here, I didn't even notice your presence" said Bylla, looking up at the lover in front of her.

"You looked down, honey, of course you don't know. Sorry, I came late. You're freaking out here" Reymond said as he let go of his embrace.

"The rain is very heavy Rey, there is wind, there is lightning, I am restless" said Bylla, wiping the corner of her eyes that began to get wet.

"Now don't be afraid anymore, I'm here." Reymond smiled, tucking Bylla's hair behind his ears.

"How will you go home? The rain is getting worse."

"Let me give you my dear, what good am I here, if I still let you go home alone," Reymond said with a sweet smile.

"But I brought Rey's own car" replied Bylla.

"I didn't bring a car, I took a taxi. So I can take you later, Bylla," said Reymond.

"How do you go home?"

"Stay in your house" teased Reymond.

"Rey, I'm serious!" yell Bylla.

"Fine taxi" Reymond said, chuckling.

"Have you ordered food?" ask Reymond.

"No, I'm waiting for you, yet" replied Bylla, shaking her head.

"Then we order now."

"Mom!" call Reymond, waving his hand at a waiter delivering food.

"What message, sir, Miss?" asked the waiter, as he was standing near Bylla and Reymond.

"What do you want to eat, baby?" reymond asked while looking at Bylla.

"Sweet sour seafood seems delicious."

"Seafood sweet acid two, white coffee one, matcha latte one," Reymond told the waiter.

"Okay sir, please wait a minute! We will prepare your meal soon" said the waiter as he walked away.

"It's not just two days that I know you, baby. Time just doesn't know" replied Reymond.

"Is that so?"

Reymond responded with just a nod, and a smile.

"Bylla!" call Reymond.

"Hmm."

"You know, I'm so happy to be your partner. Even though you weren't my first love, I've never felt this kind of love before" Reymond said.

Bylla lowered her head, hiding her face that was beginning to blush.

The words of Reymond's love always made him blush in shame.

"You're very good at seducing Rey" said Bylla.

"I'm not just seducing, I'm seriously Bylla. When my parents come back, I will take them to your house. I want to have a more serious relationship with you" Reymond said, clutching Bylla's hand.

"I'm looking forward to Rey's day" replied Bylla.

Soon, they stopped talking, because their order had been delivered.

Reymond and Bylla began to devour her food, with hearts filled with happiness.

***

Star flashes began to appear faintly in space. While the moon, still poking coyly behind the gray clouds. As the night breeze blew slowly, leaving behind a bone-chilling chill. The rain has subsided, the remaining muddy land remains.

A man sat on the porch of the house, staring at his foster children who were eating in the living room. They eat so well. A happiness bolt emanated clearly from his faces, even though they were only eating with fried tempeh side dishes.

"May you keep that happiness, may your smile never fade, even though the destiny of life is not in line, with what you expect" Ghani murmured with a bitter smile.

Verily his heart ached greatly, every time he looked at his foster children. At an early age, they never get the love of their family. They live in the midst of deprivation, without education, without wealth, even to eat is not necessarily full.

Ghani began strumming the guitar strings that were in his grasp, chanting song lyrics, to entertain the heart that was stifled with lara.

The longer Ghani dissolves into the melody, which he creates himself. Gradually, the shadow of the female figure was vaguely drawn in his illusion.

Slowly, Ghani pulled her lips into a smile. Blue eyes were soothing, he thought at the time.

"Don't dream Bang, kesambet you know!" a man shouted while patting Ghani on the shoulder quite loudly.

Ghani gasped in surprise, then she turned her head, and looked at the face of the man who was now sitting before her. Arron, he's a friend of Ghani's. He is the only person who helps Ghani in the care of his foster children.

"See Bang! Pretty right?" Arron took out a plastic bag, which he had stored in his pocket. Then Arron took out the contents, some coins, which he then struck on the floor.

"Three thousand, five thousand, eight thousand, ten thousand. Add two more, so two hundred and ten Bang," said Arron as he put down two hundred thousand bills.

"Who gave you that much money?" ghani asked as she scrunched her forehead.

In this day and age, just looking for abuse is very difficult. Very rare, if anyone wants to give with such a large amount.

Nowadays, many people are rich in wealth, but poor in caring.

"A rich lady Bang, her appearance is luxurious. Her face was beautiful, like an angel. Her eyes are clear blue, maybe she's the imported lady Bang!"

"The "clear blue eyes" Ghani's inner heart.

There was a strange sigh in his heart, as he recalled the owner of the blue eyes.

Seriate...
