“Tet tet!!”
The sound of the motor horn resuscitated Thea who was walking alone on the sidewalk of the road. He was just going to go to the restaurant where he worked after earlier drove Mathew aka Allen home.
Yes, he was forced to drive Mathew home to Allen's because it was the safest place Mathew could live. She couldn't have taken Mathew back to her apartment because people who knew Allen would find it strange.
He did not think, how could everything be a coincidence that he never expected.
The motor stopped in front of Thea. From his rider posture, he could guess that it was Xavier.
“You're leaving for work?” Xavier asked after taking off his helmet.
“Entah.” Thea sniffed her shoulders confused.
After what he experienced a while ago, he was not sure if he would focus on work. All of Mathew's explanations kept spinning in his head.
“Can you take me away for a walk?” Ask Thea later.
“Wah, lately you really like to go for a walk.” The smiling Xavier timidly.
“Do not mock me Xavier.” Thea glared in annoyance.
Xavier just chuckled. He took the helmet and put it on Thea. For a while Thea looked at the face of Xavier before her. His hair and face were sweating like this man was done with his wrestling match.
“You have finished the match?” Ask the curious Thea.
“Hem. Just two punches and my opponent direct KO.” Xavier smiled proudly as he patted Thea's helmet in a daze.
“Ck! It is truly unfair that they know that the one they are fighting is a prince of the kingdom of fire.” Thea squeaks.
“While competing, I did not use my powers as the prince of fire. Occasionally come to see it so you can believe.” I'm Xavier.
He walked first to his bike, rode it and waited for Thea there.
While Thea was still looking at the man. A man who seems to be enjoying his new life in Thea's world.
“Good. In the next game I'll come.” Thea's Promise. He got on the bike and sat behind Xavier.
“That's an honor for me.” Xavier smiled slightly.
Thea smiled and the iron horse started to split the paved road.
“You go to lake or river?” Xavier's Bargain.
“Lake.”
“Good. Hold on tight.”
Thea immediately hugged Xavier tightly and in a few moments Xavier added to his bike speed more and more. Thea doesn't look at the streets that pass. And it was only a short while until they arrived at a lake on the outskirts of the city.
Xavier parked his bike on a paved road. To get to the lake, they had to walk first. He took off his helmet and Thea's helmet.
“You've been to this place?” Thea looked at her unfamiliar surroundings.
“No.” I'm Xavier, putting his helmet on the bike.
He let Thea walk in front of him while he at the back watched.
“Waahh... This place is very beautiful Xavier. How did you find it?” Thea was so fascinated by the sight before her eyes.
The clear lake with pine trees around it was also air that felt so fresh and pampering. New young leaves grow and flowers bloom as if adding to the beautiful scenery under the orange twilight sky.
“Someone told me.” I'm Xavier, of course, he knows this beautiful lake from one of the drama series he watched.
“You should thank him because I really like this place.” Thea.
“Sure.” Xavier Sahut.
Thea walked towards the edge of the lake. Where there is a series of boards arranged in such a way as to sit and relax there.
Thea chose to sit on the side. Take off his shoes and touch the tip of his foot to the calm surface of the lake.
Slowly the lake rippled, just like when he touched the lake water during spring camping some time ago.
Thea tried to calm herself down, closing her eyes while feeling a gentle gust of wind rub her face and flying a long strand of her hair.
Xavier, watching Thea from behind, approached.
“You like it?” Xavier asked who sat next to Thea.
Thea raised her head, took a deep breath to replace the air in her lungs.
“Yes. I feel that my world is starting to broaden, maybe even too broad.” Thea.
He slowly opened his eyes and turned to Xavier.
Xavier was stunned, trying to understand Thea's words even though he could not fully understand them.
“If can choose, yes I will choose smaller responsibilities. Because I think that life is to be enjoyed not to be rutuki.”
“But, we can what if only destiny can choose us, not us who choose our own destiny?” xavier timpal. He tried to smile even though he was confused.
He raised his hand and not long after the flame came out of his palm.
“I never wanted this Thea. Maybe it would be better if I was just a wolf who never separated from his herd.” Xavier.
He clenched his hand and the flame went out.
“But unfortunately, I can't choose.” The impact weakly.
“So, why don't we just enjoy this predetermined path?” Xavier chose to descend into the lake and float on the surface of the lake.
“You don't want to go down?” Xavier's Bargain.
Thea was silent for a moment. The afternoon sunlight makes the surface of the lake appear yellowish. He thought of Xavier's words just now that for some, fate chose him. It is not he who determines his destiny.
“Come on, is it not tedious to just think of destiny and not enjoy it?” Xavier extended his hand to Thea. It felt like he could understand Thea's current feelings. Feeling attached to something that shouldn't tie her up.
But then Thea thought that what Xxavier said was true. It can't just be fate, can it?
Finally Thea went down into the lake. He grabbed Xavier's hand outstretched at him, holding onto the sturdy arm
Both are floating on the surface of the water. Xavier tried to get into the water. Dived for a while to wet his entire body. Thea followed. He dived and swam away from Xavier.
Looking at Thea who was starting to move her legs and hands, swimming in the direction she was in, Xavier followed her. They swim around the lake and who would have thought it was quite fun.
A few fish approached Thea. When Thea opened her palm in the water, it was seen that the water foam collected formed a bluish light that attracted the attention of the fish. He smiled to himself as it turned out that what he was doing was quite comforting.
Seeing the fun Thea is doing, Xavier follows her. He opened his palm and not long after the flame appeared there with a thin shield to protect it from being extinguished.
Both of them smiled happily. The fish surrounded them like dancing in a circle of water and fire.
As Thea's breath began to tighten, Thea immediately clenched her hands. It rises to the surface of the lake to take in air and is followed by Xavier. Their distance is only a few inches from each other.
“You like it?” ask Xavier.
“Iya. You are right, even though you have to live a destiny that I did not choose, but we can still enjoy some of the things in it.” Thea.
“True,.. We can only look for opportunities to enjoy everything without having to feel depressed. Don't we still have the choice to be happy or suffer with a destiny that chooses us?” Entertain Xavier.
Thea nodded in agreement. Unknowingly, the current of the lake had brought Thea closer to Xavier. Their distance was so close that Xavier could see the bright twilight on Thea's plain face.
“Are you cold?” Xavier asked as he looked at Thea's slightly pale face. He looked at her with care.
“Cold air is enough to give me goosebumps.” Thea hugged her own body with both hands.
“We're going upstairs.” Bring Xavier to Thea's hand.
Thea followed suit as Xavier led her aside. With both hands Xavier raised Thea's body upwards. For a while Thea noticed Xavier's face so close to hers and then her body. I don't know why it feels so thrilling
“Thank you.” He said when Thea reached the land.
Xavier jumped up and sat down next to Thea.
“We should play here more often.” Reveal Thea while hugging her cold body.
“You can come here anytime. Just tell me.” Her speech. Xavier picked up his jacket that he had taken off before swimming. He slipped his jacket over Thea's shoulder.
Thea nodded and looked. For a moment the two looked at each other. Either the push from which makes the distance between the two is now getting closer and closer again until only a few inches away.
Who would have thought, Xavier kissed Thea's lips for a while and Thea did not reject him.
Feeling no rejection from Thea, Xavier cupped one side of Thea's face and rubbed it gently. Thea seemed to enjoy Xavier's gentle strokes that felt so soothing to her. Xavier's gaze felt so warm to her.
Without waiting for a long time, Xavier brought his face closer to Thea and again kissed Thea. Thea replied to him, making the kiss a strong pagutan filled with passion. Both of Thea's hands were on Xavier's neck while Xavier's hands gently rubbed Thea's back, leaving her hair bristling.
Both enjoy the moment of decapan was accompanied by the exchange of saliva that contains passion. Everything just stopped when Thea was forced to release her pagutan because she was almost out of breath.
Thea gasps and Xavier tries to calm her down. He placed his forehead on Thea's forehead so that he could feel Thea's warm breath hitting his face.
“I want always like this Thea. With you.” Reveal Xavier who keeps his eyes closed, enjoying the subtle sighs that run through his body.
“Then stay here...” timpal Thea with the same feeling.
And that twilight became the witness of both to tie the promise to always be together.
