March 2017, Seoul
The twilight that was about to devour the blue, slowly revolved the violet-red gradient. The sky was calm this afternoon. The rain was just after flushing, the air still felt cold. There is a sky and ground footing of the earth, a road that is passed by pedestrians who just after work on the way home, there are also school children or office people in their respective vehicles. In the middle of the city that is approaching the night, boisterous honking sounds competing in traffic. Soaring skyscrapers began to hit the pearl lights, even though the twilight hue was still there. Typical views of urban areas.
Every sidewalk with shophouses that are clinging, not infrequently many who walk the path. Together with their respective stories, pass by without caring about the stories of others.
There was a girl who lived with her own boisterous story. He just stepped on the same path, walking up the edge of the sidewalk while turning to cross the road. Waiting for the traffic light to allow him to pass, then cross with another horde of pedestrians. What an ordinary life he lived.
The black-bladed girl walked along with other pedestrians, to cross the road while carrying a guitar-shaped case. Just like any other individual, he has his own story.
From the glare of his sharp eyes, the irises of the red eyes and the different walnuts were staring at the street lights that had returned red. Now he saw the turn of most four-wheeled vehicles that passed right in front of him. His right hand had now switched to reach into his black jacket pocket, he reached into the flat box object to see the screen that reflected light for a moment. Then immediately turned to look at a woman who was walking across the street, a thin knot of smiles appeared from her sombre lips.
“Me...”.Speak it briefly.
Earlier...

The piece of paper he was holding was about to tear, the two clenched hands held back the anger but the look on the beautiful face was only quiet. His unique pair of irises looked straight ahead, his long black mane was simply scattered, and he was in a heartache.
A girl at her age will seem ordinary to feel an attraction to the opposite sex or even build a relationship with a young man. Unfortunately, at this moment he was confronted by the reality of life.
“Tch.”He grieved when he found the young man was walking on the faculty corridor with other girls while holding their hands with each other.
Is that what pissed him off? Sure oes. The girl chose to pass away, not yet finished about the piece of paper that contained about the scholarship acceptance. Intentions want to tell the lover this good news, but now the feeling is over after staring at the lover himself who darted with his message with another girl.
“Rigel..”.Call someone. Warm sound with its heavy baritone.
The girl turned her head, she found a young man standing not far from her. The knot of the smile was singed, complete with a small hole in both cheeks. Dimples. It is sweet and beautiful at the same time.
“Rigel, why are you there?”Said the young man who was now walking over to him.
The girl began to clumsy, she also scratched her non-itchy nape “No. There is nothing.”
Apparently the young man was also awkward, because the silent pause between the two was quite long. He also broke his blonde mane. Occasionally smiling knot, again facing a pair of dimples “Tumben, not with Theo?”Asked the young man with his short-lived ruckus.
The girl recalled a few minutes ago, when she saw her lover darting off with another girl. She can only smile small “Don't know. Maybe with his girlfriend.”Said the girl, what she said was not wrong. They are only often together, in a relationship together but without anyone knowing. Or rather Theo doesn't want everyone to know their relationship.
“You okay, Rigel?”
The girl nodded slowly “Iya sis, I'm fine.”
“Ah... it seems our Rigel, managed to pass the scholarship?”The young man glanced at the piece of paper held by the girl's tiny hand.
“Congratulations!”
“A... This, yes thank you!”
“As my congratulations, how about we have lunch together?”
The girl stared doubtfully, she did not want kindness from others to her “I think tid—“
He should have acted a little stubbornly in order to refuse his invitation, but the young man was willing to be loyal to him. He ordered food for a small amount. Quite tempting, let alone pieces of fried chicken wrapped in spicy sauce with sesame sprinkles on top of it “I hope you are not afraid of fat.”The young man sliced the aquamarine to him.
“Unfortunately, I don't care about that. Said my mother should not waste sustenance because it is not good.”Rigel did not reply to the man's joke, he said what was true. He cannot refuse the good of others. Especially this sweet young man with a smile, Rigel took the chopsticks that were near his hand and then stuffed the chicken pieces into his mouth. After the sweet, savory and spicy sensation was fused in his taste buds, this girl with different irises rounded her eyes “Enak.”He said he ate another piece of chicken.
“Until now I never thought I'd see you again sis.”
The sweet young man immediately gave his gaze, turned to look at the little girl in front of him “Ah yes...you are my junior sister when High School, now we meet again in Seoul with the same university I teach. I was surprised to see you at the welcoming of new students.”The young man chuckled softly so that the shuffled teeth on his row of teeth appeared, again. The young man spread his sweet charm.
It is different with this sweet girl who is looking down. He was holding a pound on his own chest “S-already four years ago huh?”Rigel said with caution.
“Wait, Teach. What don't-don't?”Rigel stared at this aquamarine sliced man “What does brother Jevan teach here?”
“True, until now I also did not expect to still be able to meet you.”
Rigel nodded slowly, he suddenly remembered his High School “A..I'm sorry..”.Stir Rigel slowly.
“What's wrong with me?”
“I..”His words stopped when his phone vibrated, he reached into his pants pocket then looked at the flat screen for a moment “It turns out I still have a class.”Said Rigel staring at the young man hesitantly
A line of disappointed smiles looks from that beautiful look “Nothing..”.Said trying to understand “But next time we'll have lunch together huh?”He continued without pleading but, even with a serious look. Hopefully with this gaze the sweet girl in front of him also obeyed him.
Rigel nodded back “Sure, thank you very much for the meal.”If at that time Rigel could continue his words, what a very short meeting. But he doesn't think it's a problem.
When Rigel saw the young man reply with a smile. The discomfort is slightly reduced, Rigel realized he was not polite to leave the person who invited lunch. But forced, this time Rigel must have the heart to do it to the sweet young man. However, the young man is part of the story of his past in high school. His first love was more accurate.
Rigel hurriedly walked out of the restaurant, although his encounter with the sweet young man was short. When it arrived outside the restaurant the day had begun to twilight that almost devoured the blue, until slowly rotating the gradient of red and purple began to appear. The sky was calm this afternoon.
Rigel sighed “Really, this time boss does not usually give impromptu orders.”His lips pursed forward, Rigel was annoyed because ‘his date’ was interrupted. He also walked while unceasingly grumbling alone.
This time, his phone vibrated again revealing a call. The girl quickly connected her call.
His steps stopped right in front of the sidewalk in front of a reddened street light, still sticking the phone on his ear “Good. Immediately to the target location is.”He said, ending that phone call.
After that he grinned bitterly, then kicked a stone pebble that happened to be in front of him “Waiting is a shitty thing.”With a lazy eye movement glances all over the road users who are waiting for the traffic lights to green “Where is it?! I said it fifteen minutes ago?”Ketus Rigels.
“Code name?”Said someone who was suddenly standing next to him.
“Cadas.”His mouth was short as he snorted in annoyance.
“I'm amazed you can realize me, may your mission succeed. Be careful this time.”The guy handed me a case bag shaped curve guitar.
“Tch. You think I failed? Never, let alone the client's payment this time is very large.”
“As far as you are. Then, we part here.”
Rigel immediately grabbed the case of the guitar bag. This time he waited patiently for the traffic light, to allow it through, the red light had already turned green. He then crossed over with another horde of pedestrians. What an ordinary life he lived. The girl in black stripes walked along with other pedestrians, to cross the road while carrying a guitar-shaped case. Just like any other individual, he has his own story.
From the glare of his sharp eyes, the irises of the red eyes and the different walnuts were staring at the street lights that had returned red. Now he saw the turn of most four-wheeled vehicles that passed right in front of him. His right hand had now switched to reach into his black jacket pocket, he reached into the flat box object to see the screen that reflected light for a moment. Rigel refocused on the path he was walking along, a pair of irises of different colors staring at everyone who passed by. It seems that this evening the activity of the city was quite crowded, the roar of four-wheeled vehicles became the highlight of his gaze after following the movement of a young woman who was walking across from him, like winning the lottery, like winning,his happy look had been pointed at the thin smile knot that appeared from the ripe lips.
“Me...”.
