Ruslan pov

After making his daughter go to sleep. Ruslan, who was still sitting in front of the dining table, looked back at the old thing in his hand, despite being consumed by age. But the bracelet still looks fine.

His hand looked back at the small object without heeding his gaze.

Instantly the longing suddenly appeared just like that. For almost eighteen years he had never met the woman face to face.

But somehow? Lately he felt he could see the identity of Ruksa to his daughter.

If you recall, the attitude of his daughter lately looks very different from before. He's like a different person.

He once asked the doctor who treated his daughter, but the doctor never said there was any error in his examination.

Because he did not want to take a headache, he chose to let it be as long as his daughter was okay.

And consider the attitude of his daughter is probably because he still has not forgotten the figure of the woman in his heart.

When he was about to put the photo album into the box, suddenly a piece of a worn photo just fell.

Ruslan bent his body and took the picture.

The smile on his face just formed. He sat back down, looking at his own old photo.

The memories revolved again in his head, still vividly remembered when he met Ruksa for the first time.

Maybe the woman never remembered, when was their first meeting? , but not for Ruslan who still remembered and will never forget it.

For him, the meeting was like a history worth remembering and forever cherished. But he didn't do that at the time. Only a picture of him could remind him of that time.

At that time he was five years old, whining to go to the amusement park that had just opened a week ago.

Unable to stand his whining, Ruslan's parents finally obeyed all his words and went to the amusement park.

However, instead of enjoying the existing rides. He was separated from his parents and ended up lost alone, in such a vast place.

Tired of looking for the figure of his parents, he decided to separate from the crowd and chose to sit on a park bench.

On the bench, he bowed his body and cried alone.

Soon, he felt that someone had hit him on the head since. He raised his head and found a girl holding a large rainbow candy smiling at him, revealing a row of hollow black teeth.

The girl wore a tiger costume complete with a tail behind her body, her hair in ponytail two, with short bangs as a complement to her appearance.

Ruslan could not help but frown when he saw the strange appearance of the girl.

' Doesn't he feel too hot in that costume? Though the weather is so hot. 'inner Ruslan

" Why are you crying? Aren't you a man? " the girl asked.

" What does a man have to do with crying? " take Ruslan back.

Instead of answering, the little girl instead chose to sit beside Ruslan while casually picking up the candy.

" Want? " haggot

Ruslan immediately shook his head and said that his mother would be angry if he was caught eating candy. He also said he was afraid that his mother would take him back to the dentist.

After stinging the dentist said, the girl immediately poked her lips and threw the candy on the ground, her hands folded on her chest with an annoyed expression.

" You shouldn't have said that, you broke my mood. Ye know? I was rebelling against my father who wanted to take me to the dentist. My teeth are fine! Look at it. iiiiii. "he said while showing a row of broken teeth again.

Ruslan only gave a horrified expression at the row of teeth, spontaneously covering his mouth with both hands. He could not imagine, if the dentist removed all the teeth and made the girl's mouth resemble the mouth of an old grandmother.

" Why are you putting on a face like that? "

" It's nothing. "

Unknowingly, the girl's presence brought Ruslan's cries to a halt.

The two ended up spending time exchanging stories. Tell them what they will do as adults.

Of course, Ruslan as much as possible stay away from the topic of conversation about teeth

" Oh yeah what's your name? " ask Ruslan who had been curious about the girl's name.

The girl turned her head and extended her hand to the front "My name is Ruksa Wisesa and you? "

When he was about to receive the helping hand, his body was suddenly pulled into the arms of a woman who was his mother.

Implied an anxious look printed on the woman's face.behind her mother's back the father could only watch with a relieved expression.

" Thank God we found you, let's go home. " The mother said and took Ruslan by the body and took him away regardless of a girl who had been with her son.

The years continued to change, without feeling eleven years passed so quickly. Since then, Ruslan has never met the tiger girl.

Even so, the name was still ringing in his head. He missed the girl so much, imagining, did the girl grow up well? And most importantly, are his teeth still there?

But, he did not care how she looked now, because for him she was still the tiger girl he liked.

Bruk!

Accidentally he hit a girl who was still wearing school uniform, the girl had shoulder-length hair and pale white skin color.

" I'm sorry, you don't . Anything? " Second Ruslan's eyes were glued to see the girl's name tag.

Wisesa Ruksa.

The name was engraved clearly on the girl's name tag, Instantly, both corners of Ruslan's lips were raised upwards.

I finally found you. Inner Ruslan.

He wanted to invite the girl to exchange words. Unfortunately, he did not recognize Ruslan.

The girl left after tidying up her appearance without taking out a single broken word. Makes Ruslan's heart throb pain.

But he will not give up just like that, in view of the uniform he wears, Ruslan knows where the girl goes to school.

The next morning, he moved to the school, and how lucky he was, besides one class. He was also a bench with the girl.

However, the girl was so cold towards him, that she had even created a high wall. It was as if he would not allow anyone into his territory including Ruslan.

flashback off

Ruslan chuckled again considering how difficult it was to get her heart and accept it, even if it was just a friend. But for him, that was enough.

The night was late, Ruslan decided to go to sleep, of course, after he tidied the object in his hand.
